Illegal Aliens
I’ve been watching news reports about the various Occupy movements around the country with interest. And I have to admit, I’m not sure I get it. Who are all of these people, and what are they trying to accomplish? In several news reports, I have heard various spokespersons for the movement, or just people interviewed [...]
In 2005, a federal judge ruled that ballast water from oceangoing ships is a pollutant and must be regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, under the Clean Water Act. This was in response to the invasion by zebra mussels, tiny black-and-white striped bivalves that are related to clams and oysters. The troublesome creatures are native [...]
I don’t know what they’re putting in the water these days, but I’m beginning to wonder if the whole world has gone nuts! I just don’t understand some of the things that are going on. Georgia recently enacted a tough new law on immigration enforcement, similar to the measures Arizona enacted last year, which allows [...]
I received word this week that Larry Link, owner of Stein’s ghost town in southern New Mexico, was murdered. News reports say that Link, 68, had gone to the ghost town to investigate a trespasser, and was found later, lying next to his vehicle. He had been shot twice. We met Larry years ago when [...]
It breaks my heart to say it, but I guess it is time for us to wave the white flag and surrender. The fight to protect our nation from the flood of illegal aliens taking over our country seems to have been lost. Consider this – while the children of illegal aliens are attending our [...]
A few days ago, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed a bill into law that makes the Colt Single Action Army revolver the state’s official firearm. This makes Arizona the second state in the country to have an “official” firearm. In March, Utah made the Browning semi-automatic pistol its official state firearm. Brownings are made in [...]
I’ve been criticized in the past for my blog comments on what a waste of time I think professional sports are, and how tired I get of having regular TV programming preempted by ballgames, and unending news coverage of the misdeeds of overpaid, cretin professional athletes. But compared to all of that, what we’ve been [...]
On a television news broadcast out of Phoenix a few days ago, an immigration activist was complaining about the fact that illegal aliens (oh, I’m sorry, undocumented immigrants) who are being held in federal custody are called detainees. Apparently, that term has a negative connotation and is demeaning. According to her, illegal aliens should be [...]
Let me ask you a question. If I were to steal your car and keep it, and if a couple of years later my kid got to be old enough to get a driver’s license, and I gave that kid your car, how would you feel about that? Would you be okay seeing my kid [...]
Tuesday the American people sent a clear message to their elected officials that they are unhappy with the way things are going, and they don’t want to go down the road we have been taking. Now, it is up to those newly elected, and to those who retained their offices, to listen to that message. [...]
