It was twenty-seven years ago today that the Great One, Ronald Reagan, was elected president of the United States. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Ironically, it was also the first anniversary of the capturing of our people in Iran.

When all government, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the Center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated. -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821 Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain, quoted in A.B. Paine's Mark Twain: A Biography (Harper, 1912, Vol. 2, page 724). The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop. --...

ANOTHER historian, Peter Schweitzer agrees that Ronald Reagan won the Cold War. How Ronald Reagan won the Cold War. By Peter Schweizer Fifty years ago, philosopher Isaiah Berlin wrote an essay titled "The Hedgehog and the Fox." Quoting from the Greek poet Archilochus, who said, "The Fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing," Berlin divided the world into two types of people. Foxes pursue many ends, often unrelated and even contradictory. Their actions are connected by no aesthetic or moral principle.

A renowned psychiatrist from UC Irvine was duped into squandering at least $1.3 million of his family's fortune on a Nigeria Internet scam, according to a lawsuit recently filed by his son. The son, also an Orange County doctor, said his father — Dr. Louis A. Gottschalk — gave as much as $3 million over a 10-year period in response to an Internet plea that promised the doctor a generous cut of a huge sum of cash trapped in African bank accounts in exchange for money advances. The court documents, filed last month in Orange County Superior Court, allege Gottschalk...

USS RONALD REAGAN, At sea (NNS) -- Sailors from USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), civilian mariners from USNS Rainier (T-AOE 7) and the pilots and aircrew of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (HS) 4 helped rescue a man who suffered from chest pains while aboard a civilian fishing vessel in the middle of the Pacific Ocean Jan 9. The victim, described only as a 35-year old Filipino male, had been suffering from chest pains while aboard the 85-foot fishing vessel Princess Jasmine. The vessel, along with its seven crew members, was located approximately 815 nautical miles northeast of Oahu, Hawaii, when they...

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) departed San Diego Jan. 4 on a deployment to conduct naval operations in support of the global war on terrorism, as well as national and theater cooperative security commitments in the western Pacific. This will be the maiden deployment for the Navy’s newest Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. “During both COMPTUEX (Composite Unit Training Exercise) and JTFEX (Joint Task Force Exercise), Ronald Reagan and CVW (Carrier Air Wing) 14 proved to be a formidable fighting force,” said Rear Adm. Michael H. Miller, Ronald Reagan Strike Group commander. “Both of these major exercise,...

PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush arrived back in Washington from Los Angeles late yesterday evening, then departed by motorcade for a weekend at Camp David. Marine One was grounded due to inclement weather. The President is preparing for overseas trips in early and mid-November. ON THE PRESIDENT'S SCHEDULE: Press Secretary Scott McClellan has not been announcing the presidential week-ahead schedule since the end of August. So I searched Yahoo News for information about upcoming events on GWB's calendar. The President will host Prime Minister Berlusconi at the White House for a meeting and lunch on Oct....

She's sexy, she's stylish, she's sophisticated - and somewhat surprisingly, she's Ronald McDonald. A gender-bending makeover of McDonald's marketing icon in Japan has been hailed a great success after capturing the public imagination and enticing adults back into its outlets to sample a revamped menu. Traditionally, Ronald McDonald would goof about in oversized shoes and baggy yellow overalls in a frantic and successful pursuit of Hamburgler. In the Japanese TV commercial the foxy female version, with shoulder-length straight auburn hair in place of Ronald's frizzy mop, smoulders at the camera in a flowing yellow dress, and later a red and...

Inside the Beltway By John McCaslin August 17, 2005 B-grade Gipper We're here to report a rather bizarre, if not disturbing incident combining Hollywood and Washington, specifically this month's special film-industry screening of "The Killers," a 1964 movie starring Ronald Reagan in his final big-screen role. On hand in Hollywood for the Aug. 4 event was a prestigious crowd of actors, actresses, writers, reviewers, scholars, researchers and film preservationists -- including "L.A. Confidential" director Curtis Hanson -- that actually erupted in cheers when Mr. Reagan "the actor" was shot and killed. Absent the applause, it was already an eerie scene...

Night Unto Reagan The Gipper makes a Hollywood return. By John Meroney , National Review, August 04, 2005 On February 8, 1950, some of Hollywood's brightest lights gathered at the Beverly Hills Hotel for the kind of glamorous, star-studded soiree typically held on Academy Awards night. While it was Oscar season in Hollywood, the event for which Cecil B. DeMille, Harry Cohn, George Burns, Ed Wynn, Jane Wyman and some 600 others turned out had nothing to do with the film industry's annual awards ceremony. Instead, it was a formal tribute to Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan? The same Ronald Reagan...

“Without God, there is no virtue, because there's no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we're mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under. If I could just make a personal statement of my own -- in these 3 1/2 years I have understood and known better than ever before the words of Lincoln, when he...

Goerge W. Bush's victory was not as big as Ronald Reagan's in '84 but it was big enough to make one point certainly clear; socialists can not afford to reveal their true beliefs and lack of moral foundation during an election year. The voters of this country came out in record numbers to defeat the," true America" of Hollywood that John Kerry holds so dear. Voters obviously rejected the make believe world of utopian liberalism and the hypocracy that goes with it. Another thing is quite clear as well; the democratic scare tactics worked like a boomerang. While trying to...

New Berlin rejects naming high school after Reagan By KAY NOLANSpecial to the Journal Sentinel Posted: July 20, 2004 New Berlin - School Board members have backed away from a plan to rename West High School after the late President Ronald Reagan. Instead, the board voted Monday to consider bestowing the Reagan name on an elementary school, perhaps when a new one is built to replace Center Elementary. Shortly after Reagan's death on June 5, School Board Vice President Matt Weiss had suggested renaming one of the district's two high schools in Reagan's honor. The district's other high school is...

A MESSAGE FROM THE GIPPER Fellow Americans The long journey now has ended, Yes, the Lord has called me home. But my dear beloved Nancy, You will never be alone. For I will walk beside you, The way you walked with me. You will feel my presence with you, Just the way it used to be. For all the things that broke your heart As you watched my memory fade, God fixed, in but a moment, Kept the promises He made: That in Heaven, "Old is New," "Sick are well forevermore," "Failing minds and tiring bodies," "Are made whole, I...

PRESIDENTIAL TRADITION I never ceased to enjoy reviewing our men and women in uniform and hope I started a new tradition for presidents. As commander in chief, I discovered it was customary for our uniformed men and women to salute whenever they saw me. When I'd walk down the steps of a helicopter, for example, there was always a marine waiting there to salute me. I was told presidents weren't supposed to return salutes, so I didn't, but this made me feel a little uncomfortable. Normally, a person offering a salute waits until it is returned, then brings down his...

President Bush's eulogy of Ronald Reagan was absolutely magnificent. It brought all to laughter when recounting the late President's sense of humor; then moved us all to tears, and inspired us as well. Most of all it reminded all of us of who he was, where he had come from, how gentle and kind he was - praying for John Hinckley while in the hospital before praying to the Lord himself, for, as he wrote in his diary, how could God hear his prayer if he still had hate in his heart for the mixed-up young man who had shot...

How would you rate the presidency of Ronald Reagan? Votes Outstanding - one of the best ever. 70% Good - better than average in history. 15% Average - not especially good or bad. 6% Poor - will not stand the test of time. 4% Terrible - one of the worst ever. 6%

I have one question to ask which has been kind of bugging me. Where is Jane Wyman? I know she was Ronald Reagan's first wife and IIRC, she is the mother to Maureen and Michael (adopted) but I haven't seen hide nor hair of Jane Wyman. Is she going to any of the funeral speeches?

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday described former US president Ronald Reagan as a "friend of India" who did much to strengthen bilateral ties. "With the passing away of president Reagan, the world has lost a statesman of global renown who left an indelible mark on history," the prime minister wrote in the condolence book opened at the US embassy here. "We salute the memory of a friend of India, who did much to strengthen the bonds which tie together the two largest democracies," he added. Reagan, 93, who was president during 1981-1989, died Saturday after a long battle with...
