The “Duke of Flatbush” passes away
Some of us, my self included, remember the Brooklyn Dodgers. I grew up with Pee Wee Reese at short, Jackie Robinson at second, Gil Hodges at first, Don Newcomb pitching, Roy Campanella catching, and, my all time favorite, wearing number 4, Duke Snider in center. My heros. Mr. Snider passed away today. And so did…
Read MoreMedicare Advantage is dead…well, not quite
By now everyone knows that a large piece of Obamacare’s “deficit neutrality” comes from the provision that would eliminate Medicare Advantage programs for seniors.

Medicare Advantage is despised by the left because it is privately run, and demonstrates to all that “market pricing and competition” are…
Read MorePlease explain your decision, Mr. President
On Wednesday, Mr. Justice…er, President Obama declared the Defense of Marriage Act to be unconstitutional. Many on the left have tried to gloss over this decision by telling us that the President has really done nothing at all.

Read MoreMark Levin – and more – on the Defense of Marriage Act

Read MoreSymptom of the Disease: Governors begging for cash from the feds
Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy (D) headed to Washington, DC with many other governors not to check out the National Mall or Lincoln Memorial, rather they headed into town to beg for cash and schmooze with those who hold the purse strings hoping they can pick up $100 million here, or $50 million there, to help…

Musician John Legend got the chance to preform in the State Dining Room at the White House last night. He took the occasion to let guests know he was rich and was disturbed he got a “tax cut” this year. The brain-dead singer thinks he got a tax cut?
Read MoreCool stuff your taxes are paying for…
The United States Constitution is quite specific … the federal government is to preserve, protect and defend the United States of America from all threats. One of the tools we use to meet that responsibility is the UH-60 Blackhawk.
Read More“The hits keep coming” Rhode Island union thug threatens sexual assault
Outright rage. More examples of the new tone. Did we see any of this type of outbursts at TEA Party events? Now, we certainly do not know what started this, but if there is video it will be displayed. What did Adam Cole from We the People of Rhode Island say or do to get…
