Is Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio Being Targeted for Contempt of Court or for Simply Doing His Job?   By Rachel Alexander, on September 30th, 2015
Many think the court proceedings are unfair. (Full disclosure: I was briefly one of Sheriff Arpaio's attorneys in 2009-2010.) Arizona is home to a large Hispanic population, many who are in the country illegally. They are less likely to know the laws of the road since they cannot obtain driver's licenses, and because they are less affluent are more likely to have a tail light out -- increasing the chances that law enforcement will pull them over while driving. Another problem with the case is Judge Snow's fairness and impartialness are questionable. Full Story>>

Editor's Note:  It would appear a few more than Representative Rep. Bob Brady (D-Pa.) has been drinking out of the Pope's water glass, but I've posted four articles featuring both sides of this for your perusal.

Papal Visit: Rape and Sexual Slavery Condemned as ‘Tactic of War’ - In what many describe as a triumphant visit this week to the United States, Pope Francis at one point delivered a dramatic address before world leaders gathered in New York City at the United Nations.

Pope Francis’Inspiration to Conservatives - Pope Francis came to America as the head of the Catholic Church, the vicar of Christ, and a committed advocate for the poor. And he delivered to Congress a message reaffirming conservative principles and policies. The Pope’s visit prompted a debate over whether his speeches and positions would […]

Papal Fallibility On Display - While sojourning in Cuba, Pope Francis had only nuanced criticisms of the Castro regime even though that government seized and nationalized Catholic churches and schools, and has locked up Catholic clergy. Contrast this Pope’s careful words expressed in Cuba with the speeches of Pope […]

Pope Francis and the New Feudalism - I am, as Lady Catherine DeBourgh would say, “most seriously displeased” with Pope Francis. I’m not going to suggest that his behavior was not unexpected, however, one would ordinarily like to think that the college of Cardinals would have more sense than to elect a man who is so obviously historically ignorant to a post […]

Why I Trust God OVER any Scientist when it comes to Man-Made Climate Change - This past week we had a historic event take place because saw the Roman Catholic Pope visit the United States. He visited the President at the White House and he gave a speech. He visited a historical joint meeting of Congress and he gave a moving speech. […]

DC's Latest Self-Inflicted ‘Crisis’ – We Run Out of Budget on October 1 - Washington, D.C. is a dysfunctional mess. Just about nothing gets done unless it absolutely has to get done. And when things do get done – they are just about always horrible. Bigger and bigger government, over and over again, as far as the eye can see.  For instance, […]

The Democrats’ Next Debate Controversy, Over Larry Lessig, Could Be A Doozy - The Republicans have finished up their first two rounds of presidential debate.  Next up, the Democrats’ first presidential debate on October 13th.

Minimum Wages – False Path to Utopia - Today’s presidential hopefuls from Bernie Sanders (avowed socialist) to Hillary Clinton (avowed modern progressive) to George Pataki (avowed conservative) as well as many others, support a federally mandated increase in the minimum wage. The only question to them is how much the next increase(s) should be.

What To Do After Umpqua? - Yesterday was a day that will not soon be forgotten. Umpqua Community College was the scene of unimaginable carnage and death. Innocent people just trying to improve the lives they led we gunned down by someone who can best be described as a monster. It has since been revealed that he asked the students what […]

Alice’s Washington Wonderland - Government bureaucracies overwhelm our society today like locusts swarming over amber fields. Oppressive taxes stultify our waking hours from teen to twilight years. And the odorous rot of corruption eats away at even the honorable pillars of Washington as drab Machiavellians extend the tentacles of government everywhere. Yet despite such unbearable intrusiveness, our establishment pundits […]

A Critical Threat - There are Muslim communities in the United States that are operating in defiance of the United States Constitution and invoking sharia law on the communities such Dearborn Michigan . Although many states have passed legislation banning sharia law in those states, it is by no means comprehensive. The public by and large have been unaware..

Duly Noted - Do Not Shoot Me For Bearing Bad News. - Europe’s collapses are reoccurring, such as in World War One, during the rise of the totalitarian dictators, and the “follow up world war”. Avoidable stumbles one could say. Americans are inclined to see Europeans as knowledgeable about the world. In truth, the Continent is often inept to […]

Refugees, Immigrants, and Invaders: Drawing the Boundaries - Every good person wants to show compassion for victims of brutality… and manipulative people know that about good people.

High School Coach Bullied Into Dropping Prayer at Football Games - Political correctness has invaded my alma mater. I was disappointed to receive an email from our hometown pastor last week, informing me that the assistant football coach at my high school alma mater in Washington state was being investigated for praying with his team. My late brother played […]

More on Climate Change - “If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance […]

The Hillary Factor – Trust is Irrelevant to Some - Last week I had occasion to speak with a colleague about the current political campaign circus. The colleague in question is a lawyer and a seemingly intelligent person. But for some reason she is an ardent supporter of Hillary Clinton. This support seems insupportable in light of the […]

The Climate of Climate Change - Climate change has been a subject that has bounced back and forth with both sides bringing out facts and figures to substantiate the claims they make. One side puts forth apocalyptic scenarios, and the other side claims there is no merit to those claims. Politics and money play a large part in the battle. Grants […]

Is Obama a Muslim? - Donald Trump is taking a lot of flak from the media for not “correcting” someone who said Obama was a Muslim. Even Megyn Kelly on Fox reprimanded an audience member who said it, and assured her audience that he was indeed a Christian. It seems to me the president, however much I despise him, has […]

Moral Tradeoffs and the Muslim refugees - In response to the migrants fleeing the Middle East, our government has just announced that it is raising the refugee quota to 100,000 per year, and that is apart from regular immigrants (in just one year (2013) we admitted 300,000 Muslim immigrants.) In Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed that Britain will act with its […]

Duly Noted – When Killing is Fun and Virtuous - Islamists deserve praise for their tireless effort to serve their Allah. As a result, we get murder to save mankind from God and other bad habits.

Introduction to a Video Presentation of the Science in Genesis Day Two – Expansion: A Legal Proof for the Existence of God (Part III)  - There is a curious but crucial omission in Day Two of Genesis that appears in each of the other Days; only in Day Two are the words “And God saw …” missing.  But as this video explains, that is not a clumsy oversight, it is very deliberate; and it reveals a profound understanding of the […]

Why We Need A Conservative Revolution - There is a maxim that has been attributed to Albert Einstein; “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Whether or not Einstein was the first to say this does not matter. What does matter is that the way we choose our elected officials is a form of insanity! We […]
