In the current vacuum of leadership in the fight against Islamic Terrorism, who will step up to lead the fight? With US President Barack Obama refusing to even identify the enemy and the source of the terror threat, it may be up to our European allies to pick up the flag and engage those who…… MORE
Living in a Post-Respect World
Remember when you were a kid and you were playing ball in the back yard and someone would hit or throw it over the fence into the neighbor’s yard? Someone had to make the “walk of shame” over to the neighbor’s house–ring the doorbell–and sheepishly ask permission to get the ball back. We didn’t just…… MORE
Just Make Up Your Own Rules
It’s too bad that time and resources preclude everyone in America spending a day with a law enforcement officer at least once in their lives. We see a lot of law enforcement “experts” marching in the streets today–or appearing on the news networks–demanding a complete overhaul of the way we police ourselves. It would…… MORE
WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
My wife recently purchased one of those vehicles with a “Collision Alert System”. When a vehicle is too close to the front of the car, a red light comes on the dash and there is a beeping tone to “warn you” a collision is imminent. It also has a “Lane Deviation” feature that beeps at you…… MORE
Who Leads Us Out of This?
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, the events of this week bring us to a new level of danger in America. Two more police shootings involving African-American men followed by snipers opening fire on Dallas police during a Black Lives Matter rally overnight have ratcheted up the tension to a 1968-type scenario. …… MORE
What Difference Does It Make At This Point?

And you know why neither candidate will be hurt…… MORE
If I had a dollar for every article, feature, blog post and podcast I’ve seen or heard about how the “New Media” is going to put the “Traditional Media” out of business soon, I’d still be in bed in my retirement home in Kapalua, Maui right now instead of doing this My Two Cents. “Citizen…… MORE
We Can Still Do Great Things
While we may not be able to keep Islamic terrorists from blowing us up or shooting us. And while we can’t find two decent, honest and honorable people to elect as President out of a population of 350-million. And despite our inability drive at constant speeds on road leading to and from Northwoods destinations, we…… MORE
They Just Can’t Help Themselves
You have to wonder if the Clintons are completely tone-deaf to their public perception–or they just can’t help themselves when it comes to giving the appearance of being shiftless political manipulators. This week, Attorney General Loretta Lynch admitted to a private meeting with Former President Bill Clinton at the airport in Phoenix. The meeting came…… MORE
How the System Works
know there are a lot of people disappointed that this week’s trial involving the man accused of killing Berit Beck ended in a mistrial. The jury was not able to reach a verdict in the case–and now prosecutors must decide whether to take the case before another jury–a process likely to take another couple of…… MORE
