The last leg of the trip back from Australia to Yuma, Arizona, U.S.A. was from Phoenix to Yuma. The departure time of the flight was 3:10, making the flight the 3:10 to Yuma, a reference to the movie of that name. My flight from Los Angeles to Phoenix was  a few minutes behind schedule. The flight to Yuma had been changed to the A Concourse, but I knew the drill. Hot foot it from the B Concourse at the Phoenix Airport to the A Concourse. It was several minutes at a fast walk. I made it before the 3:10...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Last week, we talked about the fact that the Democrat Party leaders don’t do anything by chance. The contention by the DNC that the lineup for the two debate panels tonight and tomorrow night were determined by drawing names out of a hat at random is transparently absurd. The thought that this party, which does everything it does and says everything its people say based on polling and focus groups would leave such a crucial part of its campaign to oust Donald Trump to chance is laughable. As we pointed...

No Monsters under our beds, just monsters taking our beds Don’t know whether the Info Wars photo of the $600 watch allegedly worn by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is for real, but if it is, it would be the only “real” thing about her. In the tsunami of of things said and written about the now omnipresent AOC, most people don’t know, or have already forgotten, that the Voice of the Green New Deal is not a real member of the House of Representatives, she is the hands-down winner of a 10,000-member casting call, arranged by Socialist Bernie...

Democratic presidential contender South Bend, Indiana Mayor Peter Buttigieg has called for the federal government to issue special identification cards to illegal immigrants. “It’s time that we recognize the tremendous initiative it takes to enter the country in defiance of our laws,” the Mayor maintained. “They have journeyed far, often at great risk and cost to get to our promise land only to face ICE harassment as they attempt to cross the finish line.” “If I’m elected president I will issue an executive order granting a federal ID card to every one of these brave travelers,” Buttigieg promised. “These cards...

The expert's name is Russell Barkley, MD (YouTube), Psychiatrist. The 1st principle is, 'Most people aren't against you, they're just for themselves.' You can fool them all, so they'll never guess, if you just never, never have a blowout in their presence. Just always be the same, just sit still and shut up.

Whether it was the Big Bang, Midas or God himself, we don’t really need to unlock the mystery of the origins of gold when we’ve already identified an asteroid worth $700 quintillion in precious heavy metals. If anything launches this metals mining space race, it will be this asteroid--Psyche 16, taking up residence between Mars and Jupiter and carrying around enough heavy metals to net every single person on the planet close to a trillion dollars. The massive quantities of gold, iron and nickel contained in this asteroid are mind-blowing. The discovery has been made. Now, it’s a question of...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her open-borders Democrats are yelling about recent reports that illegal migrants caught crossing our border and placing themselves in temporary U.S. detention lack soap and toothbrushes, which apparently Uncle Sam has an obligation to provide, free of charge. Officials confirmed Monday that hundreds of migrant children had been transferred out of a Border Patrol station in Clint, Tex., where they did not have soap, toothbrushes, clean clothes or enough food. I always rely on the host country of the places I go to provide me with free soap and toothbrushes, don’t you? Not even many...

The Chief just announced that the court will be back tomorrow, and tomorrow will be the last day.

"We've gotten better at talking about inclusion. Now we intentionally start conversations, and when it's Pride Month or Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we celebrate." — Kevin Hart, founder of the West Florida LGBTA Teammate Network If rainbows and vibrant parades come to mind when you think of Pride Month, you're not alone, but if you research the history, you'll see it's more than a colorful party. "Pride Month is really about Stonewall," said Kevin Hart, founder of the West Florida LGBTA Teammate Network.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The folks at Project Veritas have done God’s work one more time. – This time they have gotten the smoking gun on Google’s Orwellian efforts to not only control Americans’ political opinions, but to actually control their entire thought processes to favor the Democrat Party and its candidates. Here is the video in its entirety: The video features two people: The first is Jen Gennai, head of Google’s “Responsible Innovation” team – an Orwellian name in and of itself, given what they actually do – bragging about how her team and indeed,...

My brother told me that the HBO mini-series “Chernobyl” was very good and worth watching.I haven’t seen it yet so this is not a review (although Gerard once told me I’d be a pretty poor journalist if I couldn’t write a review of a Sundance film without seeing it first) but a review of the reviews I’ve read. Most are positive, that indicate it is a well-made, compelling historical documentary that gets a few things wrong but most things about the disaster right. A good number of the reviews however are quick to point out that Chernobyl is not an...

The federal government currently holds around $1.5 trillion in outstanding student loans—up from “only” $500 million in 2007. Undoubtedly, the federal government—and taxpayers—have an enormous stake in higher education and bureaucrats in the Department of Education see their role as protecting the system against “bad actors.” During the Obama years, the Department was dominated by people who regarded for-profit higher education with hostility. They portrayed the whole for-profit sector as a scam to take advantage of hapless students. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan set the tone, quoted in the New York Times that “for-profit colleges take advantage of students and...

You can go all over the internet and find all sorts of advice on how to keep your love and life alive. Here is mine. I argue, quite convincingly, I must add, that happiness can be had by any couple that enjoys fine food and drink. There is an old saying that goes a little like this… “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Oh, it might not be all that popular in today’s progressive reality of gender-less, role-less, lifestyle. But it is a very strong truth. If you want to keep a family strong, tight, and...

They really counted on Hillary winning, didn’t they? Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is in panic mode, realizing that the so-called “intelligence community” he supervised under President Obama is about to be revealed by Atty. Gen. William Barr and U.S. Atty. John Durham as a weaponized arm of the Clinton campaign, with indictments to follow. The man who lied to Congress about spying on the American people was shocked back in April to hear Barr testify before Congress that, yes, he thought that the Trump campaign had been spied upon by his political opponents. As Breitbart reported: Well,...

They honest-to-God don’t make them like Steve Dunleavy anymore: Steve Dunleavy, the hard-hitting, hard-drinking journalist who helped define The New York Post as a crime reporter, editor and premier columnist, died Monday at his home on Long Island. He was 81. The cause was unknown. “Steve Dunleavy was one of the greatest reporters of all time,” said Rupert Murdoch, owner of The Post. “Whether competing with his own father in the famous Sydney, Australia, tabloid wars, or over the last 40 years in New York, Steve’s life story is littered with great scoops. He was much loved by both his...

President Donald Trump is considering a visit to the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea during his scheduled trip to Seoul, South Korea, after the G-20 summit, according to a South Korean government official. A South Korean Blue House official told CNN that there are no plans for Trump to hold a trilateral meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his visit to the Korean Peninsula, which will be Saturday and Sunday. Trump is scheduled to meet with Moon Sunday, South Korean presidential spokesman Ko Min-jung said Monday. A White House...
