Despite the doom and gloom, all-bad-news-all-the-time mainstream media’s attempt to manufacture a recession, the economy continued to grow in the first quarter. “Earlier this year,” admitted the Associated Press, “some economists thought the economy would lurch into reverse during the opening quarter.” Now, to the surprise of no one, “they believe that will likely [...]
Just a few short weeks ago it seemed that Barack Obama’s time had come. Appealing especially to young, hip, well-educated progressives, he was compared to Lincoln, Roosevelt and Kennedy. Obama was the only candidate in either party who could legitimately lay-claim to this year’s greatest political yearning: Change! “Change you can believe in” may lack [...]
With the furor surrounding Pastor Jeremiah Wright ebbing and flowing, Barack Obama on Sunday tried, again, to diffuse the brouhaha.

Nestled in the heart of bustling Riverside is the Southern California freeway interchange from Gehenna, aka the 60/91/215. Designed and built long before Riverside County’s recent explosive growth, the tangle of undersized roadways, narrow overpasses, and nightmarish transition roads have been overwhelmed for years. Daily, tens of thousands of commuters inch along, often moving at less than 10 miles per [...]
Hell must have frozen over, because I am about to defend Jack Cafferty. Talk about lifting “strange bedfellows” to an entirely new level! Cafferty recently said some stridently abrasive things about Chinese products and leaders. In response, Chinese-Americans and Chinese citizens permitted to work in America ”rallied outside CNN’s Hollywood office…to demand” CNN sack Jack, according to [...]
North Korea’s chronic food shortages are about to get a lot worse, according to the United Nations.
