I watched the Super Bowl last night, but unless one of MY teams plays I really only watch for the commercials and half-time show. It was probably the most boring Super Bowl I have ever watched. I was not impressed with the ads and although I like Bruno Mars and The Red Hot Chili Peppers,…

Our foreign policy since President Obama took office has left us looking weak, timid, and ineffectual. The leaders of the super powers of the world know Obama’s red line in the sand means nothing after he did nothing when chemical weapons were being used on Syrian men, women, and children. Russia and China continue to…

As a constitutional law professor for ten years, either President Obama does not understand the document or refuses to acknowledge it as the law of the land. The oath of the president of the United States is as follows: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of…

I watched the entire SOTU. My overall response? There was nothing new. It was the same speech he used in every previous state of the union address. We have to invest more in climate change. We have to pay people more. We have to create more infrastructure and construction jobs. What is really disturbing is…

The heavy hand of government has been at work for some time now. Many of us in the Tea Party movement got together and in 2010 were able to elect and establish a Republican majority in the House of Representatives. I believe this true grass roots movement took the progressives by surprise with this accomplishment. …

It is truly disheartening how the left continues to exploit race in America. A successful, conservative African-American goes against the narrative and therefore must be mocked and ridiculed. Senator Scott proves what conservatives all know: we all start out with the same opportunities in America today no matter what race, religion or sex. It is…

The Constitution specifically enumerates the powers and responsibilities of each of the three branches of government. If any one of the branches oversteps its bounds it violates their oath of office and is illegal. Any overreach is an impeachable offense. This is what Congress should be considering, not additional legislation.

There is so much pressure on the states, school boards, schools, principals, and teachers to improve students' scores on these standardized tests. Teaching to the test has become the norm. The entire system is broken and our children are suffering because of it. The only way to stop this is to get the federal government…

Not only does China own $1.3 Trillion of U.S. debt, it has been purchasing American farmland, real estate, food producers and substantial interests in our energy reserves. One example reported in My San Antonio of October 12, 2010 reads: “HOUSTON - State-owned Chinese energy giant CNOOC is buying a multibillion-dollar stake in 600,000 acres of South…

American women need to realize that the progressives and the government have created the current American culture affecting women. Since the Johnson Administration and his Great Society, government has created a culture of victimhood and dependency for women and minorities. We need instead to empower women. Girls and women must understand that they are responsible…
