• Tom Golbov, 1932-2015

    From time to time, I’d see him standing out on his back porch smoking a cigarette. We would wave to each other, but hardly did we ever speak other than to say a polite ‘hello’ to each other. Along with this was the fact that while this man’s home was being built, Kyle saw a…

  • The Digital Dark Age

    Last year I wrote about possible world-wide financial troubles in “The Coming Bubble,” which is ready to pop, sending the U.S. in a slide worse that the Great Depression of the 1930s: “USA Today published an article featuring a chart showing the internet bubble, the housing bubble, and an unnamed bubble labeled a ‘stock market bubble.’ While the article…

  • The Fool in the Mirror

    President Barack Obama once again prove jus’ how out of touch he is with America. Recently he was shown on Buzzfeed allowing his full narcissism to be on display via a string of selfies. The pictures (part of a video aimed to get people to sign up for Obamacare) were shot the same day the White…

  • The Cowboy, the Indian and Radical Islamist

    My friend Charles sent this joke to me — and while completely politically incorrect, I thought I’d share it. Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport lounge awaiting their flights. One is an American Indian another is a cowboy. The third is a Radical Islamist. Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the…

  • When Artwork Makes a Difference in Life

    It’s not often that I receive personal mail from the post office these days. Much of what I get comes via the Internet. So when I went to the mail box and found a small package addressed to me from Lyn and Sean Schmitt of North Las Vegas, I was excited. Once I opened it,…

  • U.S. Marines in Danger and Obama Goes Fundraising

    While the media trumpets news about the ‘fall of the U.S. Embassy’ in Yemen — ISIS/ISIL has seized much of Ramadi, Iraq. The town is the location of al-Asad Air Base where 300 U.S. Marines are stationed. Furthermore, Iraqi officials say they’ve lost contact with the base, while the pentagon says the terrorist were repelled.…

  • The Rhetoric of Being Reduced to a Worker

    Listen closely the next time you hear President Obama speak of the American wage-earner and you’ll realize he uses ‘worker,’ verses ‘employee,’ nearly every time. And while some may say it’s accidental or meaningless, it is interesting to note that ‘worker’ is used in the Marxist or leftist contexts to refer to the ‘working class.’ As…

  • Conventional Wisdom says Conventional Blast

    The first headline I saw came late Sunday evening, “Ukrainian government officials confirmed a nuclear blast was detected in Ukraine Sunday.” Unfortunately, I didn’t stop to see where exactly it came from. So I ‘googled’ the sentence and found it being carried by every crack-pot with a website and Internet connection, concluding it wasn’t as big…

  • The Misuse of Three Young Murder Victims

    Three students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are murdered and their deaths used as propaganda.  The victims, all members of the Muslim faith, Deah Shaddy Barakat, his wife, Yusor Mohammad, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, were shot and killed by Craig Hicks. Although the shooter’s motive is unclear, the Council…

  • George Orwell Strikes Again

    Samsung’s Smart TV appears to be too smart for our own good. The boilerplate language in its instruction booklet seems blasé, until: “Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third-party through your use of Voice Recognition.”…
