My latest column is up at AND Magazine! Here is an excerpt: Last week, for the first time in this election cycle, I tuned in to the Democrat primary debate. It was an interesting experience, listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders basically agreeing that the U.S. economy should be […]
Of course I’m spending my evening looking over the election results in New York, as so much hubbub has been made of Donald Trump’s big win there…and as I look […]
This has certainly been the most interesting election cycle of my lifetime – more so even than the debacle that was the “hanging chads” of the 2000 general election. And perhaps the most interesting aspect of this primary process is what it says about the character of our nation. And […]
My latest column is up at AND Magazine! Here is an excerpt: It’s been a long time coming. In the face of mounting pressure by Congress, Secretary of State John Kerry has finally acknowledged the genocide of Christians and other ethnic minorities by ISIS in the Middle East, which has […]
Okay, folks…It’s Monday. I don’t know about you, but I’m about as tired of this election process as I can possibly be…and that doesn’t bode well if we’re going to make it all the way to November. It’s time to lighten things up a bit. So here’s the deal: I’m […]

I’m not really into conspiracy theories, but with Donald Trump blustering about threatening to run 3rd party if he fails to win the GOP nomination, the question must be asked…
Out on the campaign trail, Donald Trump has been hitting Ted Cruz for saying that Trump loves Obamacare. Here’s what Cruz actually said (starts at 4:13): “A vote for Marco Rubio is a vote for amnesty; and a vote for Donald Trump is a vote for Obamacare. If you look […]
It’s amazing what are treated like real issues in this primary campaign: The media starts a rumor about Ben Carson dropping out; multiple campaigns (Cruz and Rubio) pick up on it. So did Cruz cheat to win in Iowa? No, but he came in 1st, so all fingers point at him. […]
Following Ted Cruz’s win at the Iowa Caucuses, Ben Carson came out accusing the Cruz campaign of “dirty tricks,” after they had urged Carson voters to caucus for Cruz. Today, social media and the blogosphere are rife with accusations that Cruz “cheated” to get his win in Iowa. But what […]
My latest column is up at AND Magazine. Here is an excerpt: In the high political theater that is the 2016 Presidential Primaries, it seems that most candidates are playing a part. Chris Christie pretends he’s a conservative, as he does every time he runs for president. John Kasich pretends […]
