Texas GOP Vote

Recently I wrote an article titled, "The Road to the White House and Control of the Senate Drives Through Ohio".  As we come down to the wire, this race is neck and neck. Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel is challenging incumbant Senator Sherrod Brown. Brown recently earned the label of the Senate's most liberal senator, according to Mandel.

Previously, I interviewed the National Rifle Association's Jacqueline Otto about the importance of the Ohio race and what the NRA-ILA was doing to help Josh Mandel.  Otto told me that Josh Mandel was rated with an A from their organization and Sen. Brown had earned an F just like President Obama.    Read more »

These are reflections from a recent trip to New York around Saint Patrick's Day.

Twice terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, the second being the attack on 9/11, but often forgotten is the first that occurred on February 26, 1993. That attack killed 6 people and injured a thousand more when an explosion erupted in a garage. The first attack was the first warning of what laid ahead. The 9/11 memorial venerates those who died in both attacks and reminds us of what happened so that this day should never be forgotten. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, four new versions of the World Trade Center will surround the 8 acre ground featuring two waterfall ponds

Even 9/11 Truthers are adding their voice among the growing and diverse list of grievances held by Occupy Wall Street protesters. Now we can add investigating the possible role of the government in the collapse of the buildings during the 9/11 attacks to all of the demands that the Occupy Crowd is making. So far the list of grievances includes ending all wars, stopping the increasing consolidation of wealth and power by the wealthy, and ending climate change. 

One decade has passed, yet the incomprehensible evil of the September 11, 2001 attacks remain vividly etched in the memory of all Americans. We will never forget watching heroic first responders swiftly aid their fellow Americans. We will never forget joining families, friends and strangers alike in mourning the great loss of nearly 3,000 innocent lives. Although our nation was attacked, we refused to allow the unspeakable violence to break our spirit and the goodness of America shined brightly through one of the darkest days in our nation’s history.   Read more »

Ten years ago a foreign enemy attacked us on our own soil. On that fateful day in September, thousands of innocent Americans lost their lives.

As we reflect on the ten year anniversary, we can recall what it felt like to watch the horrific events of that day unfold.   Read more »

You can find thousands of different 9/11 tributes on the web. Here are some we found to be most moving. God bless the men and women killed that day and the families who still miss them. God bless our troops who avenged us and still protect us from new attacks. Please God, bless America.

September 11, 2001 was one of those days that is seared in everyone's memory. Like you, I remember exactly where I was that morning. My mother (one of my best news sources) called me to tell me that someone had flown into one of the World Trade Center buildings. My immediate thought was a weather related issue. I was stunned when I turned on the television in my office and discovered a burning tower smoking before a stark, clear sky.

During Obama's jobs speech tonight, Obama outlined his American Jobs Act. There were many things he said that were just silly and the math does not add up.

1) American Jobs Act is NOT paid for and will use Debt Spending - Fuzzy Math

Obama said that the American Jobs Act will be fully paid for without creating any debt because Obama will cut money from other Government Programs and use that money to pay for the Jobs Act.

In Late May 2011, I was contacted by a parent who told me a troubling story of finding out that her daughter’s 6th grade classmates were being chastised for watching Fox News (see what the teacher said below). The School is in Lumberton ISD in Lumberton, TX and the teacher is Karen Talbert who teaches science class. Upon learning this information, I wanted to make certain that this information was correct before going forward.
