On Tuesday, the Supreme Court voided a key provision of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965, specifically Section 4(b), which lays out a specific formula by which jurisdictions with a history of discriminatory voting practices are compelled to seek pre-approval for any electoral changes that might impact voting rights. Prior to this decision, there […]
If you listen to my show you know I don’t debate abortion laws, take phone calls about the abortion issue, or book guests to talk about it. Like gay marriage, people have views on abortion that are deeply connected with religious beliefs. And when you get into topics like abortion, people call in and say […]
How many secrets does our government have? What are they? In Friday’s local paper, McClatchy’s Washington Bureau reported on “Obama’s program targets insiders”. It turns out the Obama administration believes “most federal departments and agencies nationwide, including the Peace Corps, the Social Security Administration and the Education and Agriculture departments” have such secrets that the […]
Inflation. Pure and simple. Inflating the national currency is the tried-and-true way that governments have used for centuries and millennium to get their way out of budget problems caused by excessive debt. But it is a dangerous bet and one that would not be necessary had we been responsible adults about our budgets and not […]
It’s been known for some time (and is very apparent in his popular nightly television show on Fox News) that Bill O’Reilly has bought into the present ill-conceived immigration push now proceeding in the U.

More than you think. Ask yourself this: Why do drug dealers beat, shoot, kill or otherwise harm their customers, suppliers, and competitors when they disagree? Some say it’s because they don’t know any better. Others will say it’s because they’re all low life, no good <insert your favorite racial slur here>. I disagree. Regardless of […]
I have never been a class warfare kind of person. Honestly, the whole script of envy left me when I was very young, thanks to parents who taught me how much of a waste of time and emotion that was. Not to mention the Biblical lessons on coveting. I’m grateful for those lessons. Not to say I […]
It is important to understand the relationship the intelligentsia have with the ruling class. The intelligentsia, which includes preachers, attorneys, priests, professors, teachers, and writers, use their intellects to maintain their position in society; to earn their keep. In order to be successful they must give others something they want in exchange for what they […]
Google him and see who he is. He’s more important than you think. He was the precursor to the Ronald Reagan Revolution that enveloped the nation in 1980 by spearheading the passage of Proposition 13 in the somewhat unwieldy California direct plebescite system. Many people don’t realize that without Howard Jarvis, Ronald Reagan might not […]
