Cromnibus Betrayal

Sixty-seven Republicans chose to vote against the $1.1 trillion CR-Omnibus budget bill on December 11, 2014. Despite the refusal of the more conservative Republicans to support the bill, the Republican establishment was able to pull in enough Democrats, 57, to vote for the bill.

Pushing the Extent of Obama's Executive Powers

The spending bill the Republicans just passed is filled with 1.1 trillion broken promises. The Republicans seem to be willing to complain out of one side of their mouth, while gleefully approving of Obama's goosestep towards full executive control, and destruction of the foundations of Americanism, out of the other side of their mouth.

House Budget Bill's Funding Nightmare

The 2014 Midterm Election was a historical rejection of President Barack Obama, and the policies of the Democrat Party.

Pearl Harbor Reunion, 2014

With each passing year, the reunion number is dwindling. The Pearl Harbor survivors are over 90 years old, and the members of that group that got together today in Hawaii numbered a little more than a dozen.

IRS Documents Connecting White House to Scandal Denied

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admits they "found" about 2,500 documents potentially showing that the IRS shared taxpayer returns with the White House, thus tying President Obama to the IRS scandal that targeted conservative groups, like Tea Party groups. As they did with Lois Lerner's emails, the Obama administration is denying the release (I am surprised they didn't claim another hard drive crashed) of the documents, claiming the documents are covered by privacy and disclosure laws and can’t be provided to Cause of Action, despite a promise last week to hand over some 2,500.

Christmas Season Credit Card Bullies

"Bullies" is the new term being used to attack society. It has turned out to be a more effective term than "bigot," "racist," "homophobe," or "Islamophobe." If you call someone a "bully," immediately an image of a mean, unfair, violent, nasty, overpowering radical rightwing extremist comes to mind. . .right?

Austin Gunman's Ten Minutes of Terror

Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns. That is the reality, and that is why increasing gun control laws against law abiding citizens are actually more dangerous to our society, and will ultimately encourage more instances of violent crime and home invasions. . . as such policies did statistically in Great Britain and Australia after their hard left politicians confiscated everyone's guns.

Hagel First Obama Domino to Fall After Midterms

The Obama administration is cleaning house, or members of the failed Obama presidency are running for their political lives. They each have their reasons, political ambitions, and the way the media has been spinning each departure, but the reality is clear: President Barack Obama is a failure (or a success, if you are a hard left statist calling for an authoritarian regime in the White House), and he is expanding the executive branch's powers in ways the framers of the United States Constitution never intended.

A Christian Nation, Not a Theocracy

Last Tuesday Night, at the end of the discussion during the Corona Constitution Class, I gave the folks an assignment. Read the Declaration of Independence, and notice how the grievances the colonists had with the British government are similar to the grievances many Americans have with today's federal government.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Urged to Run for President in 2016

My current political hero is Scott Walker. He got elected on conservative principles, applied those conservative principles, turned the State of Wisconsin around economically, survived a recall election after taking on the unions, and then got elected again, all in a four year span, and all in a blue State.

Three Steps to Resolve Immigration Issue

The solution to the immigration problem is simple, but the leftists have the Republican Party in such a political monkey-style crap throwing contest that the reality of the simplicity of the issue evades them.

Obama to Ferguson Rioters: "Stay on Course."

July 1, 2008, I said on Political Pistachio Radio that if Barack Obama is elected President, "The racial divide will deepen."

Obama's Iraq: Anti-War President to Send 1,500 More Troops to Iraq

President Barack Obama promised his war against ISIS would not include a ground war. He promised the American people there would be no boots on the ground, and that this new war against an Islamic terrorist group that is not Islamic would not be anything like Bush's evil war in Iraq. And now, the decision has been made; 1,500 more troops are going to Iraq, more than doubling the number of American personnel on the ground in this new war that isn't a war.

In Face of GOP Sweep, Democrats Scheme

The Republicans were victorious during the 2014 Election in much the same way they were in the mid-term election in 2010. The GOP, thanks to this latest election, put a good number of Republican Governors in blue States, obtained an historic majority in the House of Representatives, and have gained a few seat majority in the Senate, which will launch a two-year hell, or heaven, for the Democrats, and President Barack Obama.

Vote Harvest in November

Democrats and Republicans believe the other side steals votes. Accusations are flying in all directions. The Democrats are desperate. Early signs already point towards a GOP improvement in Congress in terms of numbers, and a Senate that will belong to the Republicans starting next year.

Democrats Target Online Political Speech

The desire to kill political speech on the internet is nothing new, when it comes to the liberal left progressive Democrats. Their goal is not to win in the arena of ideas, but to eliminate any voice that dares to speak out against them in the arena of ideas. In the battle to silence dissent online, an attack is being launched by the FEC (Federal Elections Commission).

Stacey Dash and Jessa Duggar Slammed for Resisting Evil

The slaughter of millions of innocent lives, and the enslavement of millions of people, are examples of pure unadulterrated evil. Nobody questions using the word "evil" when referring to the slaughter of millions of Jews during the Nazi Holocaust, and the enslavement of millions upon millions of people in the history of slavery on a global scale. In the United States, slavery did not end until after a war that killed over 600,000 young lives was fought, and even then, racism has taken a long time to dwindle to a mere trickle.

The Greed Factor

The government, with all of their regulations and pitfalls, makes us loop-hole seekers. Money is not evil. The love of money is. Money is a tool, and the bigger the tool, the more of the tool you have, the more you can take care of the things you need to. But, we must remember, money is simply a tool that is available for our use as we see fit.

As Obama Tackles Ebola, What About Enterovirus D68?

The president is now paying attention. He has to. Ebola has reached "crisis stage," according to his minions. Ebola is not passed from person to person easily. Two health care workers are sick from Ebola, after dealing with now deceased Ebola Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas. One of the health care workers is doing well, and the other flew to Cleveland before she was visibly sick, and therefore, we are told, before she was contagious.

Progression of Gay Militantism Reaches Houston in Move Against Pastors

To Christians, homosexuality is an unacceptable behavior to God, as well as to Christ's Flock. Since the dawn of the Christian Church a couple thousand years ago (and prior during the Old Testament era), homosexuality has been taught to be an affront against God. Scripture reveals that homosexuality was a part of the reason for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and a sign of the perverse evil Earth's inhabitants had turned to during the days preceding the Great Flood that Noah and his family escaped by building an ark.
