If you have friends and people in your social network from South Carolina, Nevada or the SEC states, please send this to them. What follows needs to be said and no one is saying it. Let me first address the black citizens of South Carolina and upcoming primary states.[1. Note I didn’t patronize you with […]

In mid 2015, Lyn and I walked away from a six-figure income to live a simpler life and so I could pursue a new career as a writer. With my first book, a political primer ahead of future works, I think I really hit on some ideas that are being proven right with almost every […]

The one thing we need to keep in mind is that while BHO and the Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett will surely appoint a candidate to the bench who will be to Jarrett’s liking, the Senate is under no obligation to act on it. What the Senate does have to do is what the Democrat Senate did […]

Carly Fiorina has been on my short list for a potential endorsement since she started her campaign. I never quite got over her affinity for data mining of personal information, but I respected her as a candidate and a person. With her announcement today, there are no adults left in the field in either party. […]

FOX is already calling it for Sanders at just after 7:00 PM. It is shaping up to be a terrible night for Clinton…and his wife, for that matter. If you’ve read anything I’ve written, you know that I pretty much like everybody. When I thump someone for political reasons, you know it is just business. […]

I won’t go into a deep analysis tonight. This was a pretty clear result. The governors outclassed the senators. The business women wasn’t there because Reince Prebus is a first-rate pussy. Trump, in the eyes of everyone but his devoted rubes was, as usual an ignoramus. Key moments. Christie manhandled Rubio. After he accused Rubio […]

Okay, as promised, here goes. Bernie Sanders: How can you not like this guy? If not for politics, he’d be at home, yelling in the distinct Sanders meter: “Hey you kids — get off–my goddamn lawn!” He is a character. He doesn’t even comb his hair. You don’t have to agree with the guy to […]

The greatest advantage HRC has in keeping her campaign alive, and her old ass out of jail, is the half-hour news cycle and citizens with the attention span of a puppy in a yard full of squirrels. News programs these days are loaded with little more than teasers about what is actually happening in the […]

It’s been an interesting day for political wonks. For starters, we lost one of the few adults on the GOP side today. Rand Paul is a level-headed, honest man. He will not abandon a principal for tawdry gain. I have a lot of respect for the guy. Sadly, as I said here before, he never […]

If you can believe the polls, you can assume by the end of the night Donald Trump will have carried Iowa in the first primary head count of the season. (Update: Iowa vindicated itself by NOT handing Trump a coronation.) More curious than his meteoric rise in the run up, are the sources of support […]

I love throwbacks. It is always fun to see my friends post stuff on Facebook where they have 80’s hair or sweat socks that come up to their knees. Or you’ll see an object that kids today have never seen; If you ever used one of these, you’re a senior citizen now. Lol. Here’s a […]

I shirked my responsibilities last night. I was planning to watch the debates but had promised Lynette a night of sloth and debauchery. That’s right. It was Trivia Night at the Legion Hall. Had Herself missed it, I’d have paid for it until next Thursday. So, I set the DVR to record the debates and […]

Deflation is about to rear it’s ugly head. What is with all shock being exhibited by TV “experts” about the conditions of the market these days? This is the condition the market has been in for years. Or better put, these are the days that quantitative easing (QE) by a Federal Reserve – in business […]

Steve Hayes, Fox contributor, hit the nail right on the head with his summation last night – “gob smacked”. I predicted BHO would go out and give a “love me” speech, but in my worst expectations, I wouldn’t have been able to predict such a childish and twisted departure from reality. It seems that with […]

Is there any more proof one needs to see that Obama’s lack of courage and loyalty have cost the US nearly all our prestige in the eyes of the world? Is there anyone ignorant enough to still believe this is a good thing? Last week our “president” was emasculated by Iran’s Supreme Leader, The Grand […]

Update: Watching the polls, I have to give proper respect to a growing number of Democrats who are showing real character and are no longer supporting Hillary just because they were ordered to do so by the thought police. Well done to all. I mean that sincerely. When I was a kid, my mother worked […]

And so we gathered once again, the contestants at their podium, the proles at their TVs and computers. I saw threads last night in which viewers were settling in with wine and snacks to watch both events. That is a very encouraging happenstance. It shows that we are still tuned in. While certainly not in […]

The idea of online radicalization, or what has been called self-radicalization, is a relatively new and still somewhat rare phenomenon.

Tonight, the man who has actively facilitated the chaos in the middle east is going to lecture us. He will instruct us on how to react to subhuman scum who commit acts of violence in support of those scum Obama helped create. The regime has also released trial balloons about his invoking “executive authority” to […]

When political arguments slide to the level of utter childishness they become difficult to address. How do you employ reason against statements utterly devoid of logic, reason or honesty? When you catch a child playing with matches who then tells you he was only burning them, one at a time, to prevent his little sister […]
