Terrorism and the Missing Southeast Asia Flights

This article is simply the offspring of observation, and speculation regarding those observations. The AirAsia flight that recently vanished, without a word, was being flown by Captain Iriyanto, a devout and active Muslim (and his co-pilot was a Muslim-French National). The pilot of the Malaysian flight that vanished without a word was also a devout Muslim, as was his co-pilot.

China Prepares for War

The Book of Revelation Chapter Nine, in the Holy Bible, says the Kings of the East will march an army of 2 million to Armageddon. Most Christian scholars that examine prophecy have identified China as the Kings of the East. I have always believed the "Kings" may include Islamic armies from the east, as well. Irregardless, there is only one nation that can boast an army of two million: China.

Responding to Liberals: Implied Powers

In a recent article on Political Pistachio, "Are Implied Powers Constitutional?", as expected, the disagreements came flowing in. Usually, when leftists, or conservatives that interpret the Constitution through case law, comment, their posts are laden with profanity, and intentional comments that serve to distract more than to carry on a reasonable conversation. The following comment, however, I approved and appears on the website, and now I would like to pick it apart, revealing the ignorance that oozes through it.

Killing our Future

A couple of weeks ago Yahoo Finance provided us with an article, copied from CNBC, titled, "We need more babies! Seriously, this is a problem." I thought that was fascinating, coming from a segment of the media that also routinely supports the slaughter of the unborn through abortion.

The IRS, and the "Icky" Conservatives

A liberal that used to frequent my radio programs and website, who went by the moniker "Mudkitty," used to argue with me on every issue under the sun, but would always include in her discussion with me that she appreciated my passion for what I believe, and that she would defend my right to say it if she had to go to the mountaintops to do so.

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.
