Pure, Blind, Dumb luck

I saw our Homeland Director on two TV news/opinion shows this a.m. She appeared either clueless, or restrained — either way it was not reassuring.
The Obama administration appears to treat this ‘attack” as a criminal matter at home, while it engages in war abroad — not just Afghanistan and Iraq, but in Yemen. Yemen appears [...]

Here It Comes Again!

Today’s Op-Ed column in the NC Times alerts some to the fact that Rep. Gutierrez (D-Il) is pushing an amnesty bill for illegal aliens. That bill has the support of the Latino Caucus, and the Black Caucus – but more importantly it has the support of the SEIU – one of the most politically powerful [...]

Rasmussen Report on Sanctuary Cities

“New Rasmussen Reports national telephone polling finds that most Americans oppose sanctuary cities and think their policies lead to an increase in crime. A solid plurality say such cities, including New York, Washington, D.C. and many others, should lose government funding because of their sanctuary policies.
Given consistent findings that Americans overwhelmingly support efforts to crackdown [...]

No Way, Jose!

Beginning Sunday, cops will no [...]

TEFLON Wears Off!

A reader on another Blog asks if  “popularity” of conservative press means FOX News et al are “right”?
Our nation’s voting premise is that popular is right! The candidate with the most votes wins, and the press is a contributor to that “popularity.”
We do not vet our candidates through a battery of intellectual and historical tests.
The [...]

The More Things Change…

Yesterday, I enrolled in the orientation portion of cardiac rehab for regaining my strength after the 5-way heart by-pass surgery.
One of my fellow enrollees was from the Middle East (Afghanistan), and he had no insurance. He will get exactly the same rehab program that I will get.
Then as I went to the office to give [...]

The Disinfecting Value of Sunshine

SCOBEY, Montana (CNN)
The Department of Homeland Security had announced it was spending $31 million to enhance and upgrade two remote border crossings — just 12 miles apart — on the border between Montana and the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The spending was lauded by Montana’s two senators, even though only an average of 22 [...]

The Enemy is…

We have met the enemy, and it is … The Obama Department of Interior!
It is that department that has cut off the water to the San Joaquin Valley, the World’s Breadbasket, and the Fresno Mayor has rightfully called that an “Act of Domestic Terrorism.” The most fertile land in America is becoming a dustbowl. Farmers [...]

SF Political Culture

SF Chronicle, Sept 12: “San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris‘ decision not to seek the death penalty for Edwin Ramos in the 2008 killings of Tony Bologna and his two sons apparently came down to one critical fact:
Prosecutors aren’t 100 percent convinced a jury will believe Ramos was the actual shooter.
Ramos, an alleged MS-13 member, [...]

O. K. Joe Martin Was Rude.

O. K. Joe Martin was rude. George Will reminds us that in 1856 a Senator armed with a cane and his assistant carrying a pistol to ward off potential rescuers, caned a fellow Senator into a three year hospital bed. Now that is rude!
And, for the record, President Obama was not lying. He was , [...]
