California has often been in the vanguard of trends that come to affect the whole country. It is looking now at bankruptcy. But who will bail it out? California politicians, including Governor Schwartzenegger, have shown neglect in managing the money given to them in good faith by the taxpayers...

Another Illinois politician has been accused of two crimes, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery.
Yawn.

"You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt

It has always been repugnant to people to be in debt and thereby not f...

Most Americans have had little or no teaching about totalitarianism, or about its conjoined twins, Communism and Nazism. Our schools do not teach about it, and our media, by and large, ignore it. When they do address it, it is to tell us that it does not exist.
Now, some of its victims and wit...

"To dream the impossible dream,

To bear with unbearable sorrow,
to run where the brave dare not go....."
Michael Savage had told his listeners that he would investigate starting a new political party, probably after the first of the year. However, after wa...

Does it seem odd that Democrats are so avidly pursuing the bailouts that the Bush administration is also avidly pursuing? After all, most people see that the beneficiaries will be the odious "fat cat" Republicans berated by Democrats for years.
Is there something behind their calls for the ba...

There have not been many times I have done a review of an Emmy Show, actually never. However, the 2008 effort was so bad, getting the lowest ratings ever, that I decided I would try to help out the producers, actors, and any others associated with this yawner.

One of the most prolific American song writers, Irving Berlin, left his mark on musical comedy of the stage and movies. He wrote over 3,000 songs, with a remarkable number of them becoming hits. His music was danceable and singable.

If you look at a picture of Irena Sendler (Sendlerowa), you see what could be described as "everybody´s grandma". Her smile is kind and warm, and there seems to be nothing unusual about Irena Sendler. However, she was an extraordinary woman

Have you received your stimulus check yet? The government has deemed it a good idea to give the taxpayers, and non-payers also, a bit of money to spend.
So the wheels have been set in motion. Where does all this money come from? The U.S. is broke and borrowing money from the likes of China...

Pope Benedict XVl arrived for a visit to the U.S., welcomed by the president and first lady, Laura Bush. They showed the pope the unusual deference of going to him, by meeting his plane, instead of the pope going to the White House when he arrived.

Who is Hillary and what makes Hillary run? Right now she is anything you want her to be. She is a politician in training. This could be said of most of her adult life.
She is often described as having been a "Goldwater Girl" at one time. It seems that when she went off to college she ...

Hillary Clinton went into her campaign with an "inevitability" theme being played. The Clintons are seasoned politicians and the road ahead must have seemed just about as favorable to her candidacy as it could get. But, a funny thing happened on that road, an unexpected bump that may derail he...

Senator John McCain finds himself in the position of having to woo the base of the party he claims to represent. He and other so-called "moderates" often find themselves in this position. Having little rapport with this group, McCain now goes with candy and flowers and sweet words, hoping to w...

Enemies of Michael Savage are trying to remove his voice from the radio. They recognize his influence. They know he can, and has, outed them and their plans for the U.S., which are not the plans most Americans embrace.

If you liked the Dubai Ports giveaway of several of our ports, you will love the globalists’ new attempt at destroying our sovereignty. It is L.O.S.T., or Law of the Sea Treaty.

The DREAM Act, cherished by supporters of illegal aliens, and once thought to be killed, is at least on life support. Those millions of people who told their legislators they did not want amnesty no way, no how, had reason to think that the DREAM Act, which was included in the “comprehensive” immig...

The omni-amnesty bill was defeated this year, right? Wrong. It has just come back in piece-meal legislation. Who has been telling you about this development? Certainly not the so-called “mainstream media”, whose informative news reports are just a trickle.

The flippant admonition to “let ‘em eat cake” is attributed to Marie Antoinette, when told the poor had no bread to eat. Whether the lady actually said it or not, it has come to mean the disconnect the elite have with the lower classes.

As the Senate gets ready to vote on amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, the dynamics of handling the bill get very interesting. It seems the Senate has tired of just handing out domestic pork and are going into the more exotic distribution of pork to non-citizens.

As the Senate, under Harry Reid, is poised to take up the “comprehensive” immigration bill, again, some telling polls have been made public. It seems the American public is not enamored of the “grand compromise” being cooked up by some senators.

President Bush incorrectly gauged the tenor of the average citizen when he told them that if they didn’t buy his amnesty plan they just didn’t want what was good for the country. Even those in his own party felt bullied and insulted by his remarks.

In the “guest worker” bill that isn’t an amnesty, (according to its supporters), there are lots of goodies for our guests if they are made legal. Only one of these is in-state tuition. That is, if an illegal wants to go to school in another state, he/she may be eligible for in-state tuition now...
