Memorial Day – A Tribute
For those who paid the ultimate price in preserving our freedom, we say Thank You.
Remembering Our Fallen Heroes
My Dad died almost seven years ago. At the time, my wife Heidi and I lived out West and we were expecting our first child. I distinctly remember talking with my Dad on July 4, 2001. It was, in fact, the last time we would ever speak. My Dad spoke to me from his hospital […]
Congress Doing What It Does Best
And no surprise that it entails hiking taxes and spending copious amounts of other people’s money. The latest from The Heritage Foundation reports that Congress is on a binge, increasing spending by $174 billion and adding $134 billion to the deficit, while hiding it under the guise of so-called “must pass” tax provisions.

Pope Civitas Institute. “The growth in state government […]
Bad Numbers For Team BO
According to the latest Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, an eye-popping 40% of the nation’s voters strongly disapprove of Barack Obama’s performance as President, while only 28% strongly approve of the same. Digging a little deeper, overall, 48% of voters said the at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance; 51% disapprove. In other […]
Illegal Problem-Solving
Since we have been in the mode over the past year of ‘solving’ all the ills we face such as these yawning budget deficits, health care and capping the BP Oil Volcano in the Gulf, I figured: “Why not take a swing at the bat at figuring out what to do with the illegal immigrant […]
