It seems like the skinny clothing look has made a comeback. Skinny, or form fitting jeans and suits are all the rage amongst teens and twenty-somethings. This look was introduced back in the early sixties, particularly in dress clothes, popularized by the Rat Pack.   Yet despite the retro-style similarities, there is difference in the […]

The gun control nuts are at it again – talking heads and politicians calling for tighter gun laws. And the left is once again spearheading the effort with Obama’s “political” speech and Hillary’s efforts to close gun sale loopholes – as if there are any loopholes left to close.   Hillary also says she wants […]

So we, and the conservatives we support, are false prophets. We and our candidates are evidently just “spreading noise.”   At least that’s what outgoing Speaker of the House and head congressional hack, John Boehner thinks. And I’m sure he’s not the only one that thinks this. Every establishment Republican in both the House and […]

Several days ago I wrote  http://commonconstitutionalist.com/current-events/the-case-of-the-irving-islamaphobes/ about a 14-year-old Muslim boy in Irving Texas, who, by all accounts at the time, was just an innocent Texas high schooler. I wrote that he built a clock from scratch out of parts he bought. Unfortunately, due to the appearance of the “homemade clock” (it looked like a […]

We all know why the federal government has long ago injected itself into the American education system. Big government progressive’s knew they couldn’t control what schools were teaching, and of course progressives must have control over every facet of our lives.    So they began offering carrots to the states in the form of federal […]

So what’s wrong with being Muslim? Is there something inherently bad about being Muslim? If someone claimed I was a Jew, would I get all defensive? Or would I simply correct him or her, that I am a Christian. I certainly wouldn’t get all huffy, resentful and accusatory over it.   Would my friends and […]

To listen to the wails from Democrats and the socialistic “financial media,” you’d think business will cease to exist in America. Certainly American corporations will no longer be able to compete on a global scale without the help of our government.   You see, the big meanie conservative Republicans in the House allowed the Export-Import […]

This past week seemed to be the week of no. As predicted by anyone with any common sense willing to really look at the overall fiscal health of America and the world – surprise surprise – the Fed announced there will be no interest rate hike. This despite rumors that there might be one this […]

So there was an incident at an Irving Texas high school the other day. Apparently it ended up being much ado about nothing. It seems a 14-year-old boy built a clock from scratch and brought it to school to impress his teachers.   Evidently, Ahmed Mohammed, who is a bit of electronics whiz, built the […]

It seems lately I’ve spent an awful lot of time defending the Trumpster, Donald Trump. And frankly, I’ve gotten some feedback that I’m just a closet Trump supporter.   Well, I am, but only on one, maybe two issues. There is his position on illegal immigration, as well as his stance on the military, which […]

Dr. Ben Carson has finally spoken out on illegal immigration – outlining his plan to tackle the problem. His plan appears to start out like gangbusters as he says: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/ben-carson-immigration-plan-ian-tuttle “But let’s just say we get them sealed [the borders], because certainly in a Carsonadministration that would be done within the first year.”   I say […]

One reason for Trump’s popularity is the “what have you done for me lately” effect. Over the years we’ve all been witness to and have even supported republican candidates who, when they started out, were conservative, went to Washington and within a term or two, moderated their views to the point where they just fold […]

Imagine you are a “Black Lives Matter” student organizer at a university. Let’s just pick any college – say – Boise State University in Idaho. And just say you are organizing a two day “Black Lives Matter” event and wish to get the word out to other students and faculty.   You contact the student […]

There is one absolute constant in the world. It doesn’t discriminate between black, white, yellow or red. It doesn’t care what gender you are or you’re preference. It’s not concerned how much money or status you have, or where you hail from originally. This constant is human nature. It’s the same no matter where you […]

Anyone with any common sense would know not to attempt to strike a deal with the number one sponsor of worldwide terror – any deal, unless you are also interested in weakening the United States and Israel, like say Russia and China.   No one who has the slightest concern for the security of Israel, […]
