Donald Trump for President

Don't you want to hear Donald Trump tell the establishment in Washington: You're fired!!!

He's already President of corporations, employs thousands and who knows better than the Donald just what it's like to go beyond broke and still parlay that into success?

I don't know about you, but I am tired of the tassle shoed, glib, silver tongued harvard/princeton/Rhodes Scholar type graduates telling us how to live. They never held an honest job in their life besides working as chronic politicians, community organizers, or in some government policy making job somewhere. With all of their purported knowledge, they have steered our nations ship onto the shoals of bankruptcy.

Will Barack Obama have a Jimmy Carter moment?

Events are moving quickly in the middle east and it should be apparent to everyone that it is time for strong leadership from the President of the United States.

Beware of Momma Grizzlies and Celtic Warrior Queens

Anyone that has spent time in bear country learns to be on the lookout for momma bears and their cubs and most importantly to never get between the two of them. Often it is a good idea to make a lot of noise when going through these areas to let them know you are nearby, this can avoid very unpleasant confrontations. I used to put a bell on my walking stick so they could hear me. But even with my bell, in the Alaskan bush I would carry a heavy caliber firearm.

Many Native American Peoples legends center around bears and how they are reincarnated spirits from ancient tribes. One in particular I encountered years past was known throughout the land as the "Phantom of the Hoback", a silver backed old bear who bedeviled many who crossed paths with it. Like many ancient tales and lore passed down from our past generations, most can be found to have some fact attached to them.

When Sarah Palin used the Mamma Grizzly metaphor to describe herself and her fellow female candidates in the political arena, I thought it was a beautiful and powerful graphic reality. I have seen more and more powerful women on the right standing up to protect and defend what they believe is their family, our country the U.S.A..

President Obama to focus on making America competitive!

Here’s to the “new” Irish American pundits

The decline of the old main stream media, is offset by the rise in popularity of alternative sources of information, cable news, talk radio and the internet.

The birth of the Tea Party

I'd heard on the radio about Tea Party gatherings, so when I was told by a friend there would be one in my local town, I decided to go and see what it was all about. This was almost 2 years ago, it was just ordinary folks showing up, taking time off work. There were Mothers with kids, retired folks, students, the police were there too just in case. But it was a diverse group of people that measured thousands as the day went on. All were there with a singleness of purpose: To show their concern about the direction of the country and to show support for the Tea Party. I was wondering how many would have shown if it was on a weekend or holiday? Everything was peaceful with no disrespect for anyone, just a group of American citizens exercising their constitutional right to gather peacefully.

The last Presidential election in the USA did not offer much of a choice for many of us. On the one hand you had a community organizer in his 2

Hu's your Daddy?

In times like these my mind wanders back to those idyllic days spent in

The Law of Unintended Consequences

Whenever our politicians (poly=many, tics=blood sucking parasites) come up with a new scheme to make everything "fair", or to make our society even more "perfect" I tremble, knowing that whatever they

Is there a conservative Kennedy?

How long are the Kennedy clan going to wander in the liberal desert before they produce a conservative?

My parents were Kennedy Democrats, both from Brooklyn. My Dad was a WW2 veteran of the Pacific and felt an additional kinship with JFK because they both fought in that theater of war, risking their lives for our country. My folks were Democrats because their parents were Democrats, because that's just what you were when you were Irish back then in New York and that's what they grew up with. The Irish grabbed power through unity, we fought our way up from the streets and the low rungs of the totem pole when we emigrated here. We would either hang together or hang separately, it was our call.

My Grandfather told me stories of how he was part of the political machine back in the 20's on the streets of New York working with the party bosses. Is that modern day version of vote gittin' called ACORN?...I don't know how much things have changed since then as far as voter registration and actual "voters", but I feel the modern day version of the democrat party would not be the party of John F. Kennedy in today's political reality.
