Whether you're a conservative in Hollywood or in state, local, or federal government or somewhere in the academic world, you know full well what can happen to your career if you carelessly let slip your political preference. It can, and often does, result in significant, negative ramifications to your career. Any American who's spent any time residing in the State of California knows illegal aliens disregard our laws, have no problem tapping into our social services with fraudulent documents, have little desire to assimilate, and in a lot of cases, insist we embrace them and the system they decided to...

How many times have we had a speculation storm after a mass killer's name is released, his or her social media accounts are quickly removed leaving the general public at the mercy of the reckless speculation (and/or agendas) of the media. Obviously a person in custody for such criminality would incur the wrath of the social media anonymous-brave, so it would be proper and understandable if the person's comments were disabled and the "friends" of that person were made invisible, but the public would still be able to go back and piece together possible motivation without the faux-intellectual speculations of the...

Tapper and his guests, Angela Rye and Bill Kristol were almost giddy in pointing out that Donald Trump had received a deferment from Vietnam, thus had no reason to question the questionable conduct of the officers on the ground. The problem is neither Tapper or Rye have ever served in the military and while #NeverTrumper Bill Kristol was of draft age, he never served either. Angela Rye, in what was supposed to be a cute, personal soundbite dig against the president, showed her ignorant unpreparedness for a national television news segment. Of course, she never had to explain her faux...

With all this new in-fighting over former RNC chair Michael Steele and comments made about him by a CPAC official, let's not forget that some of us never thought he should have gotten the job he was clearly unqualified for and did tremendous damage to the brand.

Back in the day, there was no school shootings. We were warned back in 2000 by Dr. Peter Breggin, M.D. when he testified in front of the House Education and the Workforce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Not only about the damage that prescribed narcotics can cause in children that really don't need them but also the nefarious politics pushed by the pharmaceutical industry in concert with lazy parents and educators that would much rather drug kids as to avoid any kind of education reforms that would require accountability.

Think about all the things these liberal Democrats did, fully expecting Hillary to win, thus WE, the American people would never know... ever. Despite the fact there's been no evidence, let alone proof of even intention, the Trump campaign sought and/or utilized the awesome power of the Putin's Russian government to thwart Hillary's longtime political ambition, there will come a time when this will all be over. Many on the right are ready to hurl hundreds of thousands "We told you so" messages at the left and their media expecting them to issue acknowledgement they were wrong. You'd think we'd...

An agenda-driven social justice activist and "educator" in California has found yet another young person that could be used to dismantle American values; a young person who conveniently has no frame of reference and was easily manipulated. The problem was in the misinterpretation of our National Anthem's "third verse" because it wasn't the proof of our white Founding Fathers being racists. It was about our nation's original oppressors....

How many times have we heard Hillary Clinton and her defenders repeatedly assert she should have won the 2016 presidential election because she won the popular vote over Donald Trump. This is why more of her followers should have been somewhat familiar with the rules of football because in that sport, the winner is determined by which team scores more points over the other; not which team piles up more yardage. If that were the case, the New England Patriots should have been declared the winner of Super Bowl LII because they won the total yardage in a record-breaking effort....

Some of us who actually were privileged to have black fathers in the home were at one point told to do the best we could in life as to open the doors for those who followed behind us. This is clearly not the case today and the latest example comes from the 2018 Winter Olympics. How is Shani Davis' example of over-inflated ego, entitled, racebaiting, spoiled brat behavior going to make it easier for a future black Olympic hopeful to be looked at with anything but hesitation; not because he or she may or may not be a qualified athlete...

You've seen the news reports. Sadly, so many on the right share them with glee. Yes, there are many people leaving blue states because of the high taxes, failing schools, tolerance (if not enabling) of illegal aliens, high crime, etc. The problem is too many believe liberals are not only fleeing for the same reasons, but have finally seen the errors of their ways and are now going to participate in Republican politics and vote accordingly. Big WRONG.

In our nation's ongoing quest to show diversity and inclusion as demanded by the left, people who use the race card, especially the now-trendy black-female card, show incompetence in delivering what they promise but are quite competent in absconding with the taxpayer's money. As usual, when it comes to access to millions of taxpayer dollars in Washington, D.C., it all depends on who you know and we've seen it before. Five years later, we apparently still have the incompetent mixing with federal government access to millions of taxpayer dollars and a failure to deliver the goods as promised and a...

After a dozen years of living in Los Angeles, hit-and-runs by illegals was reported almost daily on local news so when the initial report came in Sunday morning, it sounded eerily familiar. Also familiar was the pro-illegal-DACA activists who ironically blamed a public whose representatives have cavalierly allowed lawbreakers into our country for decades.

These law enforcement elites are not ready to face the same music some gleefully inflict on the public. Many live in very nice homes in very nice neighborhoods in and around the Washington, D.C. area, drive very nice personal cars, send their children to exclusive private schools and elite colleges, and are comfortable knowing they can rely on generous pension when they decide to retire from public service and leapfrog into a safe gig in a think tank or university. All of this could be at risk for some of these law enforcement officials and to them, THAT is the...

The American Friends Service Committee-San Diego branch held many events on the evening of President Trump's State of the Union and if you were to go by the rules regulating partisanship in order to receive a nonprofit, tax-exempt status, it could be argued a line was crossed. The former scandal-plagued IRS Commissioner John Koskinen was replaced by President Trump appointee David Kautter and he needs to initiate a full review of ALL nonprofits to assume the American people that those entities who've been granted tax-exempt status have not violated the very clear rules and engaged in blatant partisan politics. Some...

It’s February and we ring in another Black History Month. So, what have blacks learned from our history? As a black Republican and former congressional candidate from Southern California, I am dismayed to this day as to our lack of representation on Capitol Hill, and the ineffective nature of our local representation. Of the more than five hundred congresspersons and senators in Washington D.C., there is only one black Republican on Capitol Hill. And it is understandable why we find ourselves in this predicament. And forgive me if I jump around. I have issues.

There are many New England Patriots and Boston sports fans who live outside of the local New England broadcast area. (Thanks to Al Gore's greatest invention, the internet, we're able to listen to local sports radio, even if Alexa doesn't understand "Boston WEEI".) We finally got Alexa to tune into the right "WEEI", and then we heard two Democrat windbags bashing President Trump, the false missile alert in Hawaii, the ridiculous new American embassy in England, birth control access, Trenni's vagina, her boyfriend and her mother's diaphragm. Evidently Trenni Kusnierek and John Tomase, "Trenni and Tomase", don't care so much about sports...

Name ONE business where employees can openly revolt against the boss, take it to social media, and expect no repercussions. In the military, that's called mutiny. In the private sector, it's called gross insubordination. But when it comes to partisan federal employees, they believe openly dissing the boss their right and when there are ramifications to their actions, they get all whiny. While the Democrats and their media would have us all believe these are poor government workers caught up in a Republican witch hunt to exact revenge on Obama loyalists, there's a little more to this that we've covered...

Imagine the bond formed between coach and player, from mid-May Organized Team Activities workouts through a playoff run through the following January. Then, you hear that coach is being approached by another team. This is another unnecessary distraction inflicted by losing franchises on teams that should be preparing for the chance at a Super Bowl. This happens repeatedly every season as the teams contacting these coaches aren't affected because they weren't good enough to get past December. Should teams be prohibited from contacting coaches for jobs until after the Super Bowl?

In the latest example of Trump derangement, the Boston City Council and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker are joining forces to condemn what they say are the president's latest example of racism. While there's no concrete proof the president actually used the "shithole" word and Democrats and their media are blindly taking the word of a documented liar in the United States Senate, it's again quite ironic white Massachusetts liberals are lecturing the rest of America about racial intolerance when Boston has a well-deserved reputation of treating black people like second-class citizens in their own hometown.

There are many conservatives who happily work behind-the-scenes to advance many causes and push back against liberal policies and laws that they deem harmful. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of people who've just discovered an issue, are outraged, post a rant on social media, and become an overnight sensation. One would want to believe their intentions are about an issue, but in the instant-gratification world we live in, coupled with audiences that are quick to show praise without examining possible motivation, we're now being inundated with narcissists who believe they have something to say; something we've never heard about...
