There are lies and then there are damned lies

As the string of scandals involving the Obama administration continue to pile up the president flails about trying to find ways to shift the heat away from him. Yesterday, he was confronted on the two most recent scandals. Concerning the Continue Reading

An outrageous failure of command

Benghazi.   The Obama administration told us for 2 weeks after the attacks that they were nothing more than a demonstration turned violent. Instead, it was a successful, well planned and well executed terrorist attack specifically targeting the U.S. Ambassador Continue Reading

Bluster and blunder

  In response to Bodo Diehn’s comments (Back off, Warmongers!) about my blog, “The red line appears to have a streak of yellow”, I want to assure him that I, in no way, want to see American boots on the Continue Reading

Enough is enough

The transparent attempt by the administration to cause maximum pain to the public in the form of airline delays caused by furloughs of air traffic controllers, seems to be coming back to bite them where the “sun doesn’t shine.” The Continue Reading

88,000? A pathetic number

Pass the aspirin, please

  Our government (the taxpayer) has loaned money to sugar processors who use sugar ascollateral for the loans. Now a program requires the USDA to buy sugar from theprocessors in order to boost prices so the processors can earn enough Continue Reading
