Every post is written by me...UNLESS...it offends a powerful person or a world government. In that case, I was HACKED by Marvin the Martian who is still angry with me for standing up his sister at a resort on the far-side of the Moon.

My sincere thanks to PRESIDENT TRUMP -- and Secretary Pete Hegseth -- for posting my latest column for FOX NEWS.
I don't care if you are straight, gay, male, female, black, white, brown, liberal, conservative, faith-based or an atheist. If you are the BEST person for the job, you should get it. PERIOD.
But NO job should be awarded via identity politics. Most especially if the job holds human life in its hands!!

My column for FOX NEWS asking if AOC is simply IGNORANT of our Founding Fathers and 1776, or...MORE LIKELY...seeking to REWRITE our shared American History?

For the sake of HARD-WORKING FANS, coaches in the NFL, NBA, and MLB should emulate the example just set by NHL coach Rick Bowness and call out PRIMA DONNA players. My column on that subject is below.

HOLLYWOOD does not have to DISCRIMINATE against or SMEAR conservatives and People of Faith to make good films. They still have the power to unite instead of divide. My column on that subject for THE HILL below.

There is no doubt that @elonmusk helped to SAVE the election in 2024. Sadly, for him, if he hopes to save our nation, he will have to do more. My column on that subject for THE HILL is below.

An Iran FREE from TOTALITARIAN rule would be one of the largest emancipations of oppressed WOMEN the world has ever seen. Why would anyone on the LEFT oppose that? Why the continued SILENCE from the LEFT?

My Sincere thanks to President Trump for posting the below. The FACT of the matter is that President Trump has an EXCEPTIONAL golf game. More than that, I believe he knows MORE about SPORTS than the commissioners of the four major professional sports....COMBINED!

For WEEKS, we have been reading about how the Democrats are in real TROUBLE. I have been saying the opposite for months. Below is my latest column on that subject. The GOP is misreading EVERY sign and BETTER concentrate on 2026 and 2028 before it's too late.

FINAL FAITH-BASED AND INSPIRING WORDS FROM CHARLIE KIRK VS. THE EVIL CELEBRATIONS OF HIS ASSASSINATION
As I read with growing alarm, revulsion, and sadness the Posts from hundreds -- to thousands -- on the LEFT celebrating the political and ideological assassination of Charlie Kirk, I will forever draw inspiration from some of his final words (below) given during an interview with The Deseret News. God Bless Charlie and his family.

“My job every single day is actively trying to stop a revolution. This is where you have to try to point them towards ultimate purposes and towards getting back to the church, getting back to faith, getting married, having children. That is the type of conservatism that I represent, and I’m trying to paint a picture of virtue of lifting people up, not just staying angry.”
