It’s Wednesday, November 11th, Veteran’s Day 2015…but before we begin, three photos which epitomize the misinformation, hypocrisy and deceipt… …which characterize the Obama Administration as surely as Watergate did Nixon.

It’s Monday, November 9th, 2015…but before we begin, for any inquiring minds who want to know, this… …is what a new hip looks like.  If dealing with the TSA was fun before, imagine the unbridled high-jinks we can look forward to next time we fly?!?

It’s Monday, November 2nd, 2015…but before we begin, two quick observations on recent developments within the Republican Party.
