Jefferson and Ho

When it comes to Vietnam, I’m all for moving on, putting the past behind us, looking forward, letting bygones be bygones, but doing so requires honesty about the past, lest history be forgotten and the memory and honor tarnished of the 60,000 Americans who died in that war. On his visit to Washington last week, […]

Both GOP and Democrats Have Party Problems

Since last November’s election there has been a lot of punditry about the fissures and schisms in the Republican Party. The divisions are real, and some of the commentary has been revealing. There has been less of a look at fissures and schisms in the Democratic Party. They’re real, as well. Most House Democrats voted […]

The Phony President

All of a sudden, President Obama is once again on a big push to change his administration’s priorities back to the economy. Of course, it has long been known that economic issues are at the forefront of the American People’s concerns, but they never seem to be a convenient topic for the president until things […]

U.S. Post Office Looking to Stop Mail-to-Your-Door Delivery

The U.S. Post Office is loosing money every day it operates, but one cost-cutting measure being proposed is to end having mail delivered to American homes. The Post Office is proposing “centralized delivery,” instead of to-your-door delivery. Here homeowners would go pick up their mail at a bank of P.O. boxes, or “cluster boxes,” instead […]

Obama Links Communist Tyrant Ho Chi Minh to Thomas Jefferson

You will search the annals of history in vain for a villain more irredeemably evil than communist revolutionary Ho Chi Minh, the man primarily responsible for Southeast Asia’s descent into genocide and collectivist slavery. This is what our president has to say about him: “Ho Chi Minh was actually inspired by the U.S. Declaration of […]

Profiles in Democrat Excellence: Inez Dickens

It won’t be easy to dig downward from its current political leadership, but New York City might yet manage by elevating City Council member Inez Dickens: A Harlem pol hoping to become the next City Council speaker has racked up more than $265,000 in unpaid code violations, property taxes and water bills on four decrepit […]

Heck, one of the previous cool period was called “The Dark Ages”. MANY concerned about climate change, including President […]

Organizing For Action Declares Obama’s Economic Pivot Over

Not that this pivot, the 19th during his 4 1/2 years in office, really went far in the first place. A couple speeches, a weaselly Weekly Address, an interview with the NY Times, none of which did more than offer the same tired campaign rhetoric of Blamestorming, division, and failed (and even contradictory – he […]

My “David Cassidy” Hair

First-wave baby boomers will begin turning 67 this year – and they’re STILL imposing their ways on younger people, such as tail-end boomers like me. Though maybe I’m still upset about the David Cassidy haircut my sisters made me get in 1973. Like every teen girl then, my sisters were smitten with Cassidy. They exploited […]

Global Warming: It’s Happening Again

Senator Boxer recently held a hearing entitled, “Climate Change: It’s Happening Now.” To honor historic truth, the title “It’s Happening Again” would have suited better. Heidi Cullen, formerly the alarmist voice at the Weather Channel, was one of Boxer’s key witnesses. In her testimony, Dr. Cullen said that “heavy downpours” have increased by 73 percent […]

Detroit: My City Was Gone

A lot of people have been writing about Detroit lately and why the one-time economic powerhouse is now a bankrupt echo of wasted opportunity. Most of it, coming from the usual suspects at MSNBC, is a lie designed to direct the public’s attention away from the oil — the lifeblood of the Motor City — […]

Eyewitness accounts of the incident reported by the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday, say that […]

Once a Weiner, Always a Weiner

The late-night comedians have not had this much material since Bill Clinton wagged his boney finger at the television cameras and declared, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,” and then sent Hillary out to declare that the whole thing was the work of a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” With Anthony Weiner […]

Recess for Kids and Adults

Life for kids is harder today than ever before, and I offer up proof: According to a variety of news reports, many elementary schools are eliminating recess. Why would schools do such a heartless thing? Well, these days, teachers are expected to teach kids everything from manners to self-esteem. Teachers need to use recess time […]

Press Dangerously Distorts Facts About Zimmerman

The family George Zimmerman rescued from their burning SUV is refusing interviews for fear of their lives. A woman whose phone number is one digit different from that of the line Zimmerman used to call police is getting death threats. That phone number appeared repeatedly throughout the trial. George’s family is in hiding from death […]

What’s Wrong With the News

When I first saw the KTVU video in which anchorwoman Tori Campbell gave the fictional names of the Asiana Airlines pilots — Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk and Bang Ding Ow — I laughed. I laughed out loud, and then I watched it again. After days of watching the painful […]

Obama: “I’ll Spend All My Time On The Economy”

Obama uses this week’s weekly address to continue the efforts of his 19th pivot to the economy Hi everybody. On Wednesday, I spoke about what we need to do as a country to build a better bargain for the middle class — to make sure everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead […]

Military Religious Freedom Foundation Wants Air Force Chaplain Gagged

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation,: Mikey Weinstein’s militant: organization, wrote a letter of complaint against US Air Force Chaplain: Lt. Col. Kenneth Reyes. MRFF is the very same foundation which has labeled Christians “fundamentalist monsters” and accused Evangelicals of attempting to “reign of theocratic terror.” It would seem Mr. Weinstein is confusing Christians with Islamists and the Muslim […]

Teacher: ‘Rednecks hold their heads a little higher’ after Zimmerman verdict

SANFORD, Fla. — When students return to classrooms this fall, a healthy number of them will discuss the recent George Zimmerman trial and acquittal, which many activist teachers believe was an “injustice.” Thehairpin.com, a self-described “women’s website,” recently asked several teachers for reaction. “Rednecks are holding their heads a little higher and tapping the guns […]
