Barack Obama

Where are the local refugees from Syria?  Sometime last month the place I now call home in Idaho was scheduled to have another 300 new citizens join me in the westward migration.  I suppose they arrived quietly and without fanfare and for good reason...

The liberal media sycophants awoke today in mourning.  In off year elections their masters in the Democrat Party took another paddling from conservative Republicans.  A long shot downed a media darling in Kentucky.  The gun grabbing Governor of Virginia cost his party seats in Richmond...

Steve Martin once summed up cultural differences by saying, “It’s as if those French have a different word for everything!”  I’m reminded language isn’t always the barrier when I follow mainstream media in the United States (I’m told it’s no better in Western and Northern Europe)...

Did you know the U.S. Conference of Roman Catholic Bishops pinned Pope Francis to a floor and tickled him until he said, “Uncle,” and met their demands?  Then they ushered in the harlot, Kim Davis, and forced him to pray with the woman...

Does it strike anyone as odd that pundits fear a tea totaller named Donald Trump with his hand on a nuclear trigger but are O.K. with a Muslim President?  I’ve read twice in the last two weeks the words of angry conservatives who insist Trump can’t be trusted with a nuclear arsenal at his disposal...

A little more than 3-thousand years ago the Celtic tribes occupying the lands now known as Scotland and Ireland were peaceful farmers.  Then a volcano in Iceland blew its cork.  Crops failed across the Celtic range and the tribes were left with few alternatives but forage and cattle theft and warlordism...

Bear Grylls has previously imbibed urine and eaten deer dung.

NBC reality trek Running Wild With Bear Grylls has made headlines in recent months for bringing high-profile figures out into the wilderness, but the survival series may yet have its biggest name ever, and all for a cause. Barack Obama himself will join Grylls in the wilds of Alaska, exploring some of the climate change of the region.

The economy is in a tailspin because the price of metallurgical coal has collapsed!  Huh?  Let me explain.  Former Reagan White House Budget Director David Stockman tracks these canaries in the mines.  Met coal has hit rock bottom price...

When I was a teenager there was a boy from the neighborhhod who went hungry.  Just for a few weeks.  His parents had left town and before they went away they gave their youngest son a big stack of cash and told him it would be his grocery money for the next 20 days...

Apparently a great many people have no use for oaths.  I took an oath to the Constitution of the United States in 2006.  I spent a year working for the Postal Service.  Despite the jokes it’s not nearly as dangerous a vocation as fighting fires, policing or hunting Taliban...

President Obama has soften shown himself in good spirits with viral content, from Zach Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns, or amiably meme-ing himself, but the latest bit is good enough to make you angry. Translate that anger with the help of Keegan-Michael Key himself, as Obama borrowed “Luther” for his own version of the famous Key & Peele bit.

A second grader at Roscoe Wilson Elementary in Lubbock, Texas sent President Barack Obama a letter, and the Commander-in-Chief sent her back a reply letter.

I’m not foolish enough to believe anybody reading this can keep up with the modern deluge of media.  I’m immersed in news because I’m a paid critic and even I can’t follow the entire flow of information in the electronic age, still...

Mario Cuomo once told me my perception of welfare was wrong.  The late Governor of New York insisted most welfare recipients weren’t a troop of lazy men “guzzling beer” on a street corner (they sounded like fun guys).  Instead he argued most recipients were children and found themselves hungry and in threadbare clothes through no fault of their own...
