TSA! GO AWAY!!!

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”?

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”

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

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

Retired CIA’s “Keyhole” Analysis
