If you have been paying attention to the Obamacare debacle, it would seem that impotent Republicans have backed us into a corner with their failure to lead on the high cost of medical care. Note that I didn’t write the “high cost of insurance”. Health Insurance is simply a reflection of the high cost of […]

Entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare are driven by demographics and longevity factors, which we can do little about. All those babies born after WW II are now reaching retirement age. Some 10,000 turn 65 each day and this continues for the next 16-17 years. Means testing and significant structural changes to the programs […]

Promises to repeal and replace the A.C.A ( ObamaCare) is clearly in trouble and whatever emerges from this mess will be a far cry from the solemn pledges Republicans have made for the last 8 years. Stop the presses—politicians lying. It is however a tad disingenuous to put it entirely on the backs of republicans […]

As a US Navy Veteran, I learned long ago that Navy SEAL’s are the best of the best. The dedication and determination needed to go through the training alone makes them stand out head and shoulders above the rest. And I found SEAL’s to be some of the most honorable and forthright humans on this […]

I grew up and lived in an era of massive changes in America and the world. The year I was born, 1954, saw the inception of McCarthyism, Brown vs Board of Education case (segregation of schools), Ellis Island was closed, Operation “Wetback” began to send 4 million illegal aliens back to Mexico, “Under God” was […]

For eight years we have suffered through unarguably the worst administration in US history. As Barack Obama came into office, the wars in the middle east were won and handed to him on a silver platter. All Obama had to do was keep a military presence until the new governments in Iraq and Afghanistan were […]

Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals states: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. Right now, the most important thing is to rip this horrendous law right out of the books. […]

“The leading edge of this revolt was the prevalent disgust with the up-side-down world that has been created by the ruling class, who themselves never have to live with the real-life consequences of that world.” Within just weeks of Donald J. Trump’s inauguration as the 45th President of the United States, there are still two […]

I am not supporting any State Senators in the Lt. Governor’s race this year. Neither Jill Vogel nor Bryce Reeves will see my endorsement for two reasons. First, neither has impressed me with their voting records. But the biggest reason by far is the balance of power in the State Senate. Vogel’s seat may be […]

A couple of weeks before the election this past November, the Washington Post ran a column written by Catherine Rampell ironically titled “When the facts don’t matter, how can democracy survive?“ And in her column Rampell went on a rant against those of us who insist on accuracy in numbers. Government numbers and especially polling […]

Here they go again. Republicans just keep earning the nickname “The Stupid Party” year after year. And make no mistake, the push for party registration is a flat out GOP Establishment (GOPe) scheme to exert more control over the election process. But this year, State Senator Mark Obenshain is counting on the bitter Cruz Clingers […]

I suppose I could start out by writing “I was right and the polls were wrong.” But I won’t. That would be gloating. However, I spent a lot of time telling people the polls were wrong. That they were over sampling Democrats and often under sampling Independents (not to mention Republicans). Also, the narrative that […]
