What’s Congress’ reaction to 10,000 children in detention centers? “Let’s go home for the 4th of July”

What’s Congress’ reaction to 10,000 children in detention centers? “Let’s go home for the 4th of July”
For a moment, imagine that you take your family out of the country, and when you cross the border the government takes you from your children. You see your children crying as they are carried off by strangers who speak a foreign language. You can do nothing. Maybe you are in handcuffs and being restrained... Read more »

Why gun control loses every shootout on Capitol Hill and five things we need to do to win

Why gun control loses every shootout on Capitol Hill and five things we need to do to win
An old cliché says, “Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.” The way gun control advocates are going about changing the law reminds me of Harrison Ford in the movie, “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” In the movie, Indiana Jones played by Mr. Ford confronts a swordsman. The man dressed in black waves his sword... Read more »

The Government nears a two year deal on spending, wait, I mean six weeks

The Government nears a two year deal on spending, wait, I mean six weeks
The snollygosters in Congress are preparing another last-minute spending bill, that kicks the can down the road for six weeks. What’s a snollygoster? It is one of those beautiful middle-English words that has fallen out of frequent use. The word describes a person who has intelligence but no principles. I suggest we bring the word... Read more »

Waiting for impeachment

Waiting for impeachment
Sometimes art imitates life. That seems to be the case among those who oppose Donald Trump, and his Administration.

The Skinny Repeal Bill is Dead and so is The GOP

The Skinny Repeal Bill is Dead and so is The GOP
The skinny repeal bill is dead.  Three Republicans, including Senators McCain, Murkowski, and Collins voted against the measure. Watching the debate, vulgar, immoral, and unfit to govern are the kindest things I can find to say about the GOP and those who support it. The GOP views on Healthcare show they are the party of...

Do I scream Watergate or kiss Trump for firing Comey?

Do I scream Watergate or kiss Trump for firing Comey?
This is a toss-up.  James Comey did more to hurt Hillary Clinton’s chances of becoming President than the Russians.  Just 11 days before the General Election, Comey re-opened the investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s emails and her numbers took a huge tumble. At the time, Candidate Trump praised Comey to the heavens.  At the time, I... Read more »

A shutdown is an early Xmas Present to Democrats

A shutdown is an early Xmas Present to Democrats
“Mr. President, abandon this wall.” Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan should be shouting the words President Reagan used in Berlin to challenge Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down The Wall.  The words need to be a spoken as a challenge to the Bigot-In-Chief in the Oval Office to abandon his folly about a wall...
