Wow. You’ve gotta hand it to President Obama–he really knows how to go out in style. On the third-to-last day of his Presidency, Obama delivered the biggest slap in the face to his country by commuting the sentence of treason convict Chelsea (nee Bradley) Manning. Manning was to serve a 35-year prison sentence for stealing classified…… MORE
Fear Factor
As a Constitutional Conservative I would like to welcome all of the Liberals getting ready to join our calls for a more limited Federal Government this week. And I’d like to extend a very special “Come on aboard” to those specifically demanding scaled-back Executive Powers starting on Friday. I bet you never thought you’d…… MORE
An Idea Whose Time Had Gone
Animal rights activists are crowing this week claiming the decision by the Barnum and Bailey-Ringling Brothers Circus to end their show is a “victory for their side”. As if their emails to radio and TV stations in advance of circus stops–or flyers handed out to people going to the show and then just tossed on the…… MORE
Not Worth a Pitcher of Warm P!$@
The number one thing I won’t miss about President Obama after his term ends a week from today is his stunning lack of historical awareness. The President decided to show that off one more time yesterday during his presentation of Joe Biden with the Medal of Freedom. In his speech, the President called Biden “The best Vice…… MORE
A Simple Solution
If social media is to be believed, there is another petition going around demanding that FOX Sports no longer assign Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to broadcast Green Bay Packers games. The belief is that both “hate the Packers”, criticize the team unfairly and don’t get as excited about their big plays as they do for…… MORE
The Greatest Farewell Address Ever!
Well I must say that I am inspired this morning having just recapped the best farewell address ever delivered by an American President. I logged onto the Library of Congress website last night and read through George Washington’s farewell address to the nation in 1796. Washington never actually gave the address–as there was obviously no…… MORE
Profiting the Wrong Way
You want a bold prediction about the Donald Trump presidency? How about my belief that he will be the last person from the “private sector” to seek the office. People with no previous political experience have been in the White House before–but the process that Trump is going through–and still faces–will pretty much guarantee that…… MORE
A Double Standard
Normally, I’m not one to go around looking for racism in everything that everyone does–but the response we are seeing at all levels of government to the so-called “Opioid Epidemic” really bothers me. This is not the first “drug epidemic” we have seen and decided to “combat” in America. You may recall the “Crack Epidemic”…… MORE
Losing Your Reputation
When the topic of conversation turns to “best fans in the NFL” Green Bay Packers backers are usually placed at the top of the list. Much is always made about the 319 consecutive sellouts dating back to the 1960’s–not to mention the 100,000 people on the season ticket waiting list that will never get a…… MORE
Finally, Some Action
Put down “Rental Registry Program” as cause for Oshkosh residents to actually become politically active. For the first time in several years, we will have not only contested City Council seats–but the need for a primary to reduce the field of candidates. The decision by the Council this past year to establish the Rental Registry–and force…… MORE
