I have been to Las Vegas several times in my adult life, and I've found that the culture changes over time. I DO NOT GAMBLE at all, but I think it's worthwhile to spend time there, just to watch the people and experience what they have (that big ball thing?). There have been times when you...

Trump will be the MOST IMPACTFUL President, probably of all time, especially if the Republicans manage to retain control of the House. If not, then his last two years will be totally compromised by partisan bullshit. Trump sealed the border, thus at least delaying the Democrats' insidious...

Most of the taxes paid are paid by the top earners, and the bottom half of the citizenry pay nothing or less than nothing (EITC). Nobody disputes that and few people care. It is likely true that the top 5% or so pay a lower RATE of income tax, net of exclusions and deductions, than many...

The 24-hour news cycle is a problem that few want to address. There is simply not that much news to fill the air time, so they add commentary and repeat the same stories time after time, day after day. My view (I occasionally switch around and watch different news channels) is that you RARELY...

The numbers and the facts are stunning. People are living longer than ever, especially when you adjust for deaths through accidents, drug overdoses and things like that. The PHARMACEUTICAL industry can take most of the credit. We geezers are being kept alive with countless drugs, taken daily...

When you say, "Iran reimposes…" what does that actually mean? Is there any actual spokesperson for the regime/government, or are there multiple factions each doing their own thing? The official U.S. position/belief is that it is close to a "deal" with "Iran," Iran has ended its closure of the...

The Iranian revolution was a Communist/Marxist takeover, cloaked in a religious costume. The People didn't really understand what was coming. No outside force can do regime change in Iran. It must come from within.

It APPEARS that our guys understand the potential catastrophe, and are staying clear of this target. Thanks for posting this.

About the best I've ever been able to say is, I'm doing OK, all things considered. I tried intoxication and it was not cool; I haven't done it since 1974. Not that I don't drink, I have four or five drinks a year. At 76 years old, I take joy in my healthy good fortune, and seeing people my...

The question of whether orders are "legal" or Constitutional can only be addressed after the fact. Other than in extraordinary circumstances, a soldier's obligation is to obey orders or immediately resign, and face the possibility of being charged with desertion.

Dennis Prager's observation remains apropos: If (Hamas/Hezbollah/the Hooties) laid down their arms, the conflict would be over immediately. If Israel laid down its arms, they would be wiped out within a week. Does anyone reading this doubt the truth of that observation?

Just last week, the Iranian negotiators INSISTED that they have a right to pursue and build a nuclear weapon. Are you Lefties stupid, oblivious, or just lying to try to make a point? "No evidence" that Iran was trying to make a bomb?????? Unbelievable.

There is NOTHING that government does that is better than the private sector. Running a grocery store will be the same. The store will operate at a massive loss, it will sell inferior merchandise, and it will close when the taxpayers get tired of funding something that is better done by private...

The expression, "wall of separation between Church and State" comes from a private letter. It has no basis in the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or in any law. The Founders started each meeting with a prayer. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or...
