As predicted, there was plenty of strident debate on HB1602 (creating a safe battery recycling stewardship program) before the House recessed for lunch.  Mr. McGuire made an excellent 8-minute speech in favor of moving it to an interim study.  I encourage everyone to listen to it, though I’m aware that asking for 8 minutes of ...

I recently got an email from someone who is concerned that President Trump is getting us into another “quagmire” of a war in the Middle East.  Here was my response:  I’m sorry, but I feel very differently about the Iran war.  Iran has been at war with America since it took the hostages from the ...

I take umbrage with the idea of taxes as an investment. Given the opportunity, even the two-faced Dems spouting nonsense about our patriotic duty to let the government rob us would put their money into something else. Even just your own pocket is likely to produce better results in both the short and long term ... Read more

Wasting some time on MS Now this morning gave me a dose of Mika, sitting and bobbing her head; Mike Barnicle, who, like Biden, made a career out of plagiarism; and Cory Booker, who has turned his career into video clips and sound bites.

It’s no secret that our country is deeply divided today. One side applauds our president and his efforts to keep our citizens safe and make our country stronger. But the president’s opponents despise everything about him, his administration, and his policies. They bitterly resist everything he stands for. It’s not the first time that America’s ... Read more

Another Major League Baseball season will soon be upon us, which brings me to the Czech Republic. And the Holocaust. And Hollywood. I’ll explain. Sports are ubiquitous.

People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) is a parasitic anomaly. To call them Iranian is a tactical error and a historical lie. They are a cult of ideological mercenaries who severed their veins from the Iranian motherboard decades ago. They do not represent a political movement; they represent a decommissioned weapon system, repurposed by foreign ... Read more

I run with the logo CALIFORNIA REFUGEE. Simple reason: I lived most of my life in California.
