Administration’s Afghan Insanity

Posted on September 21, 2017 by Mike

When the temperatures were consistently over a hundred degrees this summer some friends and I traveled to Patagonia Lake. Upon arrival I plunged into the lake and raptured in the refreshing coolness of the water. Putting my feet down I … Continue reading →

President Trump! B.R.A.C. This Border!

Posted on January 28, 2017 by Mike

I challenge President Trump to conduct the same cost-effective study of our borders’ Ports of Entry that Congress did for our domestic military installations. It was called the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act. The same process should be done … Continue reading →

Trump’s “I Can Work With the Russians”

Posted on August 18, 2016 by Mike

Trump claiming he “can work with Putin and the Russians” is either another pipe dream shared with every other politician or an ominous preview of morally bankrupt business dealings “trumping” national security. I’m no Hillary fan. I think … Continue reading →

TSA! GO AWAY!!!

Posted on June 10, 2016 by Mike

The airline industry’s angst against the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) long wait times at security checkpoints is a monster of their own making. TSA is an offspring of the monolithic Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In predictable knee jerk response … Continue reading →

What “Gender Pay Gap”?

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Mike

The Sierra Vista (Arizona) Herald’s April 15th editorial “Being free and equal can be depressing” reveals gross –and perhaps willful- ignorance of the facts about the alleged “gender pay gap.” In my opinion it is another example of the media … Continue reading →

McSally’s TODAY “Don’t Cripple Homeland Security”

Posted on March 8, 2015 by Mike

I am a retired immigration inspector who worked at the Douglas, Az. Port of Entry. U.S. Rep Martha McSally’s USA Today “Don’t Cripple Homeland Security” editorial of Feb. 25, 2015 is typical political double speak. McSally has no real “street … Continue reading →

Israel’s War with Hamas – Some Truth

Posted on August 2, 2014 by Mike

Jacqueline O’Connor’s anti-Semitic vitriol would make any Nazi or KKK member proud. But like most rabid bigots, her basic assumptions are patently false beginning with “Israel displacing Palestineans.” James Michener (and others) debunked that myth many decades ago in his … Continue reading →

Obama’s Illegal Children

Posted on July 5, 2014 by Mike

Posted on June 10, 2014 by Mike

Florida Democrat Representative Joe Garcia’s quote “We have proved communism works” (OYM 30 May) was a stunning display of historical ignorance and cultural amnesia at best – or one of Putin’s disinformation “fellow travelers” at worst. No other than Fidel … Continue reading →
