California Needs Spanking

Posted on March 9, 2018 by Mike

California is throwing another tantrum and should be spanked. As the parent, the federal government should administer the strap. It is more than allegorical. The United States gained the territory of California “fair and square” (more or less) in the … Continue reading →

Trump’s “Shithole Countries” – Right Again!

Posted on January 23, 2018 by Mike

It so happens that in the real world there ARE shithole countries – literally and figuratively. My first experience with them was in 1960. My father was an Air Force air traffic controller and had been transferred to Germany. Family … Continue reading →

Clinton’s “Wall” and 9/11

Posted on January 5, 2018 by Mike

I’ve struggled to write a book on the real reasons 9/11 happened – other than the obvious intent of the terrorists- since I finally read the voluminous 9/11 Commission Report a few years ago. It’s given me nightmares’ When my … Continue reading →

NFL: Killing the Gipper

Posted on November 16, 2017 by Mike

Movie producer Peter Bogdonovich once said “There are no OLD movies – just good movies you haven’t seen yet.” It would behoove the spoiled brats -players, coaches, owners, and especially Commissioner Goodell of the National Football League to watch the … Continue reading →

Administration’s Afghan Insanity

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 →

Kaepernick the Useful Idiot

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Mike

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 →

Posted on August 14, 2014 by Mike

Refugee Children – America’s Hypocrisy

Posted on August 2, 2014 by Mike

A majority of Americans are “cool” to the idea of allowing Central American “children” to flood across the U.S. border and take up residency. The public premise of the demographically gerrymandering president is to rescue these “innocents” from the horrors … 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 Children Crusade: America’s Pied Piper

Retired CIA’s “Keyhole” Analysis

Posted on June 25, 2014 by Mike

Posted on June 10, 2014 by Mike
