Netanyahu's Incredibly Heart-Felt Plea: How Could Democrats Look in Their Mirrors the Next Morning?

In one of the most egregious examples of horrendously bad manners and lack of taste, 50 plus Democrat members of Congress, along with President Obama and Vice President Biden of the United States, ignorantly absented themselves from an enlightened and precise dissertation on the proposed nuclear deal between Iran and the United States that if consummated could spell the doom for the young state of Israel and perhaps all of its people in addition to wide spread multi millions more in retaliation.

Obama's Woes With VA Problems Expand to a Lying VA Secretary

Only mere weeks into the scandals of Veterans Administration's improper handlings and bingo; the story gets more odorous when Obama's hand-picked Secretary of that federal agency admits he lied about his own military service.

Is Jeb Bush Proving to Be Tough or A Soft Act of Love on Immigration

An earlier Washington Examiner editorial positioned Republican presidential probable candidate and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush as a not very conservative office seeker based on his talk about acts of love. This was based on a CNN interview with Dana Davidsen with Bush at College Station, Texas, on a Sunday Town Hall event to honor the elder GHW Bush's 25th presidential anniversary.

Obama's At It Again, Now He's Preaching Religious History

Our feeble-minded usurper POTUS just won't quit. Just last week, I pointed out his inability or just outright refusal to learn. Then to prove me right Obama attended the National Prayer Breakfast and his extreme reticence to give voice to coupling the words Islam and terrorism in spite of its overwhelmingly obvious correct pairing, he not only stayed his incorrect course, but he reached back into history over multiple centuries and brought this country's most populated religion, Christianity, into a comparative position.

Obama Never Learns, Even After Six Years He Doesn't Know What to Do

The elections that took place in November 2014 must have told the Socialist Democrats in Congress and the anti-Christian, pro Islam Obama Administration that the great majority of the country's citizens are fed up with ever-increasing taxes, mindless and killing profligate spending and more growth in deficit creating, and Obama-welfare-type government.

America is Being Delivered Directly Into the Hands of Its Enemies By the Socialist/Communist Democrat Party Under Obama Leadership

You have seen my columns stating that Obama is and has been the ruination of our once great and feared conservative nation but it is now becoming irreligious, feckless and subject to the moods and desires of a man who is unquestionably a phony actor pretending to be a Christian all the while damning Christianity and those who practice its teachings, including its most ardent bishops and priests.

Should We Avoid Saying Islam Terrorist Even If Known?

With all the publicity in world-wide publications reporting on Islamic terrorism, the Obama Administration, and its leader, Barack H. Obama in particular, just can't associate a connection between the two words, 'Islam(ic)' and 'terrorism'. In their small world of personal intelligence and actual brains, Islam is known only as a "peaceful religion".

Liberal Judge Dumps Constitution - Orders Drivers Licenses Be Issued to Illegals

If anyone in America has suspicions that communism, in the more friendly, yet more deviously illegal, form called Socialism is commandeering our civil rights, in fact, ALL of our rights, he or she is absolutely spot on target. Without a miniscule of legislation put forth by our law-making branch of government, the Legislative Branch AKA Congress, we are being trussed like slaves and unjustly pilloried from the most unlikely of places, the Judiciary Branch of our very own government; the Branch that is supposed to rule on correctness of application, but is currently failing miserably and illegally and uncaringly as judges announce legislation from the bench without holding the powers to do so.

Cromnibus Proves that Bipartisanship to Liberal Dems Means "Do It Our Way"

Why is it that just after good news settles in and the future looks better and better, some soft-head narcissist, like the most prominent one today, our feckless POTUS of usurper fame Barack Hussein Obama, starts feeling his oats and begins acting just like a jackass? And I mean that last word both in real life and in politics.

Black Privileges, Thanks to Obama, Could Certainly End the U. S.

Black people in America, though certainly not all of them but a significant percentage, are seemingly forever active in areas of self-flagellation which is defined by some people as "the act of hitting oneself with a whip"; or other forms of punishment, even if only in the form of mental cruelty.

One Illegal Thing Is Working for Obama But Three More Will Decimate His Amnesty Plan

It seems as though the one thing that should have killed Obama's latest Amnesty Plan should also have killed anything else he has concocted in six usurped years in the office of POTUS is his never-yet-proven legitimacy to actually hold that office. It is obvious by now that Americans have given up on proving that Barack Hussein Obama has usurped the highest governmental office in the United States and nobody seems to give a DAMN!

Two hundred twenty one Republicans and 31 Democrats in the U. S. House voted on Friday, November 14, 2014, to approve the overly debated Keystone oil pipeline to be constructed from our Canadian friends to the north to the eagerly awaiting refineries in the southwestern area of the United States.

We Don't Need Immigration REFORM - We Need Immigration ENFORCEMENT

Dammit, what's wrong with that bone-head, Bone-er, or Boehner, John (R-Ohio)? The exasperated and much-maligned conservative public citizens of America just culminated SIX YEARS OF FRUSTRATION WITH OBAMA, another bone-head who can't or won't listen to the people who pay the freight in this country - the hard working public citizens of the United States who have said over and over again, "We don't need Immigration Reform, we need IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT!

GOP Has 2 Years To Prove The Next President in 2016 Must Be A Republican
Christians and Jews had reason to cheer loudly at the outcome of the latest national voting sessions that took place November 04, 2014; now the work can begin to undo the damage and near destruction caused by Barack Obama's crusade to elevate the national status of Islam at the expense and standing of those two religions in America that I just named.

Terrorists Thrive on Deaths - Anybody's Except Fellow Islamists

It's early afternoon of Wednesday, October 22, 2014, in the neighborhoods of eastern Canada and the United States, mere hours from the late morning devastation of wanton murder, for what appears to have been just killing for the sake of killing in Ottawa, Canada, where a Canadian soldier and one of the guilty gunmen were the victims.

Why Do Most Democrats Oppose VOTER ID Laws? Cheating On Their Minds?

Why Do Most Democrats Oppose VOTER ID Laws?
In the past several years, elections, local, regional and national in particular have seen lawlessness at the voting polls in many areas of these once-squeaky-clean United States. And even when definite proof is available, such as the case in Ohio, where the number of votes for Democrats in the ballot tallies exceeded the total number of all eligible residents, Democrat, Republican, and all other voters registered in that area.
