Trump Is Biting The Hand That Feeds Him
I don’t remember if it was during the second or third debate that Donald Trump gloated that he was spending a lot less on his campaign than Hillary Clinton. But he was correct…and it’s because he has been able to manipulate the media and keep on the top lead of…
Campaign 16: Taking The Oath on the Constitution, Not A Bible
Way back during President Obama’s 2013 Inauguration, I waxed poetic about discarding the practice of using a Bible and suggested that the proper protocol would to be take the oath of office with your hand resting on a copy of the US Constitution…the very document that you are swearing to…
Campaign 16: We The People!
Sometime between the inauguration speech and the first ball, I would start pressuring Congress to replace the current motto, ‘In God We Trust’ with ‘We The People’! Originally I thought this was just going to be a trivial add on to my thoughts on Campaign 16 and I would throw…
What’s been missing in the ” singalong ” debate.

Yesterday I wrote about the dangerous provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012, provisions that would expressly empower the President — with regard to anyone who “substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners”…
Can we expect to see the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without trial or Constitutional protections?
To say that the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012 contains some troubling provisions would be an understatement. Among them is a set of provisions that expressly empowers the President — with regard to anyone who “substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities…
Wississippi Might be too Generous
The latest “special jobs session” where the Governor promised a “laser focus on jobs” which ended last night produced a total of 0.0 bills pertaining to jobs. Instead they took up such important bills as these: * Students Test Scores can now be used to fire and discipline teachers. *…
That Pesky First Amendment (Redux)
We covered the incredible video the other day, where in blatant disregard to the First Amendment, people were being arrested in the gallery of the legislature for holding a sign. A quick refresher: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or…
