If you do much driving around the U.S. you quickly understand that the posted speed limit signs on most major highways are two things:  ridiculously slow given modern car technology and breaking; and consequently, the signs are generally and widely ignored.  This is a bad thing.  Not for the reason people generally think though, which […]

I just got off the phone with a teacher who is a friend of mine.  He said the school where he teaches said nothing about Memorial Day other than to cheerfully remind the children that they had a 3 day weekend!  Woohoo!  A 3 day weekend!  Only the name was mentioned once and nothing was […]

France is well known for many things but perhaps most famous as the place that makes the best wine in the world.  That reputation still lingers but it is no longer true.  Where is the best wine in the world now made?  California.  First proven in a blind taste test 30 years ago and repeated […]

The media just loves Senator John McCain when he’s bashing his own party or helping the Left pass some sort of law opposed by the rest of the Republican Party.  Somehow he just never gets that same level of press when he says stuff like this (emphasis added):

The United States needs to overcome its fear […]

You wouldn’t know it because the MSM here are not talking about it, but there have been recent calls in Brussels for Brussels Journal Editor Paul Belien to be prosecuted for daring to report and discuss events and stories in Belgium from a center-right point of view.  The leftist elite sees this as promoting "hate […]

The Senate continued in its raft of modifications to the Immigration bill today by voting on some provisions relating to English.  Lots of semi-panicked reports from the Lefty Press wants to make you think they did something radical… like making English the Official Language of the United States.  If you are like many Americans you […]

Politicians of all stripes have been getting worked up about gasoline prices since the price per gallon rose over $3.  There has been all sorts of maneuvering and name calling by elements of both political parties.  But besides the finger pointing it doesn’t really look like much of anything is going to change.  The vote […]

President Bush tried to claim the much prized Middle Ground in his speech on Immigration Monday night by largely supporting the Senate’s version of Immigration Reform.  Both parties are trying to seem like they care both about security and providing an amnesty to untold millions of illegal immigrants that isn’t an amnestly because… well because […]

Voters say they really dislike the nastiness of negative campaigns.  Can’t we all just get along?  Can’t the candidates just focus on only their own positive contributions to the debate?  Can’t they rain Sugar Gumdrops out of the sky and lead us all to the Rock Candy Mountain?   No.  To all of that.
Election campaigns are […]

Looks like voters aren’t very happy on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border lately.  Citizens in Mexico are worried that the nation is on the verge of losing control of the nation as violence escalates without any sort of serious or strong government response.  Here’s a sample of today’s report from the Associate Press […]

President Bush spoke tonight about his immigration reform plan saying precisely the things that had been leaked beforehand.  Bush clearly was giving the speech in a hope to prop up his disastrously declining support in the nation as we approach the fall election.  His effort was a miserable failure because he wasn’t honest about […]

News of President Bush and the Republican Congress losing support due to increasing anger from the Republican base is all over the Internet today.  This should not be a shock to anyone who actually knows many Republicans… which is likely why our mainstream reporter types just clued in to the phenomenon.  Or maybe they knew […]

Nothing really new to report on the Iranian project to develop nuclear weapons while flaunting the fact to the U.N. and the so called "World Community".  Their plan is continuing to work since they’ve allied with Russia and China to protect their interests by preventing any serious action in the U.N. Security Council.  The U.S. […]

Many Californians have been wondering how our Governor reasonably expected to win the next election.  His support is low as he has recently gone from one unpopular move to another, upsetting just about every constituency there is in the state.  Yet he continued on blithely as if it was all in the bag.

House Minority Leader Democrat Nancy Pelosi recently decided to share at long last with the American people the Democratic Party’s agenda in the next Congressional term if they gain control of Congress.  Here’s how that went, from the Slate’s John Dickerson :

We study history for a reason, that being that it repeats itself.  People are people and technology aside its all happened before.  In this case it isn’t like we are talking ancient history either.  No in this case we need look back only a few decades to the times when Leftist insurgencies were roiling all […]

If you are just emerging from a time warp entered some time perhaps in the early 1960’s I’ve got a news flash for you:  Hollywood is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and Propaganda Arm of the International Liberal-Progressive Movement.  I know its hard to believe since just a few years before entering your time warp you […]

The Washington Post printed a front page article entitled Immigration Debate Echos Past that is less than honest with the readers in its selective use of history.  The article is deeply biased.   Here’s the meat of the pro-illegal immigrant open-borders political argument disguised as a history based news report:

The bitter arguments of the past […]

The real power of those in the news trade is in selecting what is or is not reported.  If you don’t know something happened then for all intents and purposes it didn’t, at least as far as making personal decisions goes.  Like voting for instance.  This is the essence of propaganda and mind control, control […]

Legislation has moved through the Mexican Congress to legalize hard drug use and possession, and is about to be signed into law by Mexican President Fox.  Its apparently somewhat of a mystery how the legislation got worded the way it is and still get enough votes to get this far, which means it is probably […]
