Here’s Why Not Much Changes in Congress
My brother-in-law is always sending me political quips. This latest one really caught my attention. It not only applies to politics. Almost every long-term trend in society is based on the “Five Monkeys in a Cage.” When I was in college, I had to take an introduction to psychology course
How to stop the Democrat Attack on Jeff Sessions
The Democrats (and some Republicans) are trying to get rid of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General before he even gets started. Democrats know how to fight, obfuscate, and demean. They get away with these tactics because the Republicans refuse to fight back. Republicans like John McCain have been harder on
Speaker John Boehner Set to Retire from Congress in October
I thought I was dreaming when I heard the news. John Boehner is going to retire at the end of October. Maybe that’s why he was crying as the Pope spoke. Boehner knew his days were numbered. It couldn’t come at a better time. With Boehner gone, the Democrats won’t
Will The GOP Pull the Plug on the EPA or Just Talk About It?

Why President Obama and Michelle (and Every Member of Congress) Should be Seen as the Help
There’s more racial politics coming from Michelle Obama. In an interview, “Michelle Obama said a woman asked her for help getting something off a shelf at Target, describing racial experiences she’s had.” What was Michelle doing shopping in Target?

Democrats Surrender and Admit Their Crimes on the House Floor With Hands Up
When I saw a number of Democrats with their hands up on the floor do the House of Representatives, it made me laugh. Usually left-leaning Joe Scarborough had had enough of their sanctimonious stupidity: “He excoriated a number of members of the Congressional Black Caucus took to the House floor
You Can’t Be an American and be an Atheist

Chuck Schumer Wants to Change First Amendment to Limit Free Speech
Liberals do not like much of what’s in the Constitution. It’s too limiting. The portions they do like, they reinterpret. How many times have you heard a liberal quote the actual words of the First Amendment when the issue of religion comes up? Mostly we hear that the Constitution requires
Unelected Bureaucrats Created 80,000 Pages of Regulations in 2013
Who needs Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court when we have bureaucrats? It takes years and many votes to get an Amendment to the Constitution passed. Who cares about the Amendment process when there’s an army of bureaucrats who can create regulations out of thin air that you and
Did You Just Celebrate ‘National Genocide Day’?
MSNBC has a new host. He’s Mia Farrow’s son, Ronan Farrow.1 Ronan is a smart guy. He graduated from college at 15. He graduated from Yale Law School. He subsequently studied at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 2012. It seems that all his learning has left him bereft
Unions Want Taxpayers to Subsidize Their Healthcare
The unions want us to pay for their healthcare. “The AFL-CIO approved a resolution saying that President Obama’s health care overhaul will drive up the costs of union-sponsored health plans to the point that workers and employers are forced to abandon them.” I’m suspicious of any union attack of a

What Will You Do If Romney Is the GOP Nominee?
I’m a contingency planner. My business partner is a risk-taking entrepreneur of the highest magnitude. We make a good team. When he’s pushing the envelope of a new business venture, I’m asking the “what will happen if” questions. A business needs to be prepared for the unknown. Our companies prepared
There’s Third-Party Talk in the Air
“Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman Jr. is hinting he might run at the top of a third-party ticket if he doesn’t win his party’s nomination,” the folks at The Daily are reporting. After vowing to run as a Republican or nothing at all, Huntsman gave himself a little wiggle room
The Goal: Occupy the White House and Congress in 2012
While the Leftists are trying to punish the people who create jobs, Conservatives should stay focused on the real problem – Congress and the Presidency. While the leeches and special interest groups want to increase the power of government to make it more difficult for the producers to produce, Conservatives
