Obama, Bush, Sarah, Hillary, it matters not…
There is a good news and a bad news element to the Obama administration if you are someone who would like to see America go back to being a sovereign country in its own right that is governed under the precepts that have been set forth in the Constitution. It is a drag that we
U.S. spending $57,000 a minute in Afghanistan
I read a report the other night that went into great detail about the fact that China is dumping a lot of United States Treasury notes; so much so that Japan is now the leading holder of American debt. This subject is a huge can of worms, and it is something that the average citizen

The NBA trading deadline has now come and gone, and some of the rumors have been substantiated, and some of them have fizzled out as just that. One of the biggest names to have been traded is the former Houston Rocket superstar Tracy McGrady, who went to the New York Knicks in exchange for Jordan

A lot of people who live here in America would place a visit to London at or near the top of their to-do list, and with good reason.

America has become a land that is intoxicated by celebrity, and as a pundit I must say that I detest this aspect of the psyche of my country. There was a time when the folks who people looked up to were special in some way, and their achievements were inspiring. But in these times we
