a common sense approach to a liberal world
The NFL has experienced a number of particularly bad – and self-inflicted – years when it comes to Public Relations.
This time, the NFL, Commissioner Goodell and Company have outdone themselves.
Sunday was a fiasco.
President Trump brought an issue that’s been irking many a NFL fan to a head with remarks during a speech followed by these tweets:Continue Reading
Yesterday, I wrote about the speech given by Iran’s President, Hassan Rowhani.
As I noted, Rowhani’s speech was eloquent, filled with noble overtones.
It was also comprised almost entirely of lies.
Iran represents much of what’s wrong with the Middle East.
But things are rapidly changing.Continue Reading
Iran was mentioned prominently in President Trump’s first speech to the UN General Assembly.
The Iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy country, with a rich history and culture, into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos.
The Iran deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into. Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States.
The following day, Iran’s President, Hassan Rowhani (also spelled Rouhani), gave his own speech – a rebuttal if you will – to the UN General Assembly.
Rowhani’s speech was eloquent, filled with noble overtones.
It was also comprised almost entirely of lies.Continue Reading
“There can be no substitute for strong, sovereign, and independent nations, nations that are rooted in the histories and invested in their destiny, nations that seek allies to befriend, not enemies to conquer, and most important of all, nations that are home to patriots.” – President Donald J. Trump
“Wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure.” – President Donald J. Trump
President Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly for the first time today.
President Trump was clear, direct and forthright.
Sovereignty was the underlying and continuing theme.
It was a speech the UN members needed to hear – containing truths that needed to be told.
It might have been President Trump’s best speech to date.Continue Reading
An Alt-Right White Supremacist came to Berkeley seeking chaos and upheaval.
At least according to Leftists – and U.C. Berkeley’s Administration.
In other words, Ben Shapiro, a conservative, came to Berkeley to deliver a speech.
Berkeley’s Executive Vice-Chancellor and Provost, Paul Alivisatos, was so concerned he felt compelled to send out a letter several days prior to Shapiro’s speech. He offered counseling services for those affected:Continue Reading
Last night, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer had dinner with President Trump. After the meeting, this was tweeted out…Continue Reading
It’s been a while since I wrote about the strange case of the Awan Brothers – the fugitive IT specialists for House Democrats – so I figured it might be time for an update. For those in need of some background, here is the earlier article.
Imran Awan was arrested July 24, 2017 at an airport as he was attempting to flee the country. He was flying to Pakistan by way of Qatar – following his wife who had fled the country in March with $12,000 in cash. He has been charged with four counts of bank fraud in connection with his wire transfer of nearly $300,000 to Pakistan. Imran and his brothers, Abid and Jamal, are under investigation by the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police for accessing congressional computers and stealing IT equipment.
The Awan brothers provided services to as many as 80 House Democrats over the years and had access to the electronic files and emails of House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committee members. They provided their services on time-divided basis among the various Democratic Representatives.Continue Reading
A Survey Monkey Poll of 65,000 senior citizens was published on September 8, 2017. The survey was done for the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC).
AMAC is a conservative alternative to AARP – and has over 1 million active members:
AMAC is focused squarely on protecting the interests of America’s seniors. We offer an alternative perspective on how to best solve the problems faced by seniors today, and we’re on your side when it comes to fighting runaway taxes, excessive government involvement in our day-to-day lives, and the erosion of accountability at all levels of government.
We offer a variety of consumer benefits for our members including travel discounts, competitively priced insurance products, Roadside Assistance, retail and restaurant discounts, and a host of other benefits and savings opportunities in between.Continue Reading
Many Republican voters, true conservatives at heart, have become utterly disenchanted with the GOP and its leadership.
Tired of RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) and NeoCons (Liberal Republicans who favor intervention in other countries) and all their ilk.
Tired of “leaders” like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.
Tired of Fredocons.
“Fredo, I knew it was you”.
Tired.
So is President Trump.
What good is having a Republican majority in the House and Senate if you don’t use it?Continue Reading
“In ordering this blanket exception, President Obama was nullifying part of a law that he simply disagreed with.….If a president can claim sweeping discretion to suspend key federal laws, the entire legislative process becomes little more than a pretense…The circumvention of the legislative process not only undermines the authority of this branch but destabilizes the tripartite system as a whole.” – George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley
“The executive branch, through DACA, deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions. Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the Executive Branch.” – Attorney General Jeff Sessions
Attorney General Jeff Sessions formally announced the decision to rescind Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA on September 5, 2017:Continue Reading
