    Is this a good idea?

    For those who haven't already read this book, now is the time to check it out; for those who have, read it again. Reckless Endangerment clearly explains how complicity between our politicians and financial institutions spells disaster for our national economy and the average citizen...

    Is Hillary nearing the end?

    I missed it too - twice. What's even more astonishing than his election was his RE-election, after compiling one of the worst records of any modern presidency. That just reminds us of the famous Churchill quote about having a 5 min. conversation with the average voter. Let's keep in mind for...

    The Trump Card...

    Being the astute businessman he claims to be, it was surprising to see him go all-in for ethanol subsidies. On the other hand, with Cruz coming out against ethanol welfare and the IA governor coming out against Cruz the Trump political sellout is understandable.Trouble is, it won't do him any...

    The Trump Card...

    Not at all, after McCain threw her under the bus and backed over her for good measure. Look at the splash her endorsement made in the media, and it didn't cost him a nickel. What's more, not a single Trump supporter will turn away from him because of it.

    Home of the whopper

    Here's what his Economic legacy will include if he does nothing from this point forward: higher taxes, more entitlement spending (with a complicit Congress), higher national debt, lower standard of living (except for the 1% rich), more people unemployed, more people on food stamps, and more...

    Home of the whopper

    Keep in mind, he's not finished yet.Stuff like Clinton's last minute pardons will pale in comparison to what Barack Hussein Obama will likely leave in his wake.

    'Bama' v MSU - Who you got?

    As expected, yet another national championship for the Tide.:clapping-happy: At least Clemson made the game interesting.

    The Trump Card...

    Another red herring Obama and the Dems like to shout about is the number of jobs being created. Problem is, the majority of these are "hamburger flipper" jobs that they used to ridicule when Bush was in office; part time, low paying jobs with no benefits - mostly in retail or service industries...

    The Trump Card...

    Let's not forget about research and development of products and services not yet in existence. That takes money for capitol investment here in the US instead of going overseas or being sucked up by the US govt in taxes. Jobs are created when businesses evolve and grow. Otherwise, buggy whips...

    The Trump Card...

    There really is guilt on both sides, but let's not forget that Obama extended the Bush tax cuts in addition to running up the national debt like no other POTUS in history. The Great Recession can not be blamed solely on Bush because the root causes for the sub-prime lending disaster were put in...

    The Trump Card...

    The primary results may change things, but we have to remember Trump has a LOT of money and he doesn't have to depend on donors. He also seems to be on the same same song sheet with a considerable segment of the voter base, which makes him different from Romney in the last election...

    Gun Control and Terrorism

    Obama used his "feelings" to promote his snake oil cure for gun violence in America and it's likely that most of the low-info voters who put him in office bought his bogus sales pitch hook, line & sinker. Problem is - like a cheese puff - after you chew on it there's nothing to swallow. Other...

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    Just another repetition of a couple of questions: 1. If the cops assumed this "armed adult" was a threat why did they pull the cruiser so close into his target zone? 2. The cop came out of the cruiser and fired within 2 seconds. Did he even see the "gun" the kid had? It was in his pants - how...

    Bernie Sanders Musing In A Tweet.

    High school is the perfect place for it - especially Driver's Ed. High School is already financed by taxpayer dollars and introductory courses in trades such as plumbing, electrical work, machining and masonry would give students a chance to explore these career options. Advanced courses could...

    Bernie Sanders Musing In A Tweet.

    The Top 1% now pay almost one half of all income taxes collected, and Sanders expects them to pay for everybody's college education as well. One other observation: 40% of all taxpayers account for 97.3% of all taxes collected.

    Bernie Sanders Musing In A Tweet.

    I agree with everything except the first word. However, vocational classes used to be taught in high school and should probably be reinstated - even emphasized for certain students - in today's curricula. For willing high school grads I'll bet there are plenty of employers in the service...

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    The story continues; no indictment for the Cleveland cops in the Tamir Rice death, but is anyone surprised? It's been obvious that Cleveland has been in DEFCON 1 mode from the beginning to defend against the inevitable civil lawsuit and likely federal investigation. Also, their situation isn't...
