Yes, last year I was working with conservative organizations and candidates. Yes, I got hit with a fine by the I.R.S. and yes, I tried to fight it then. I must report that my fight was like fighting with a brick wall. They didn’t budge. It didn’t pass the smell test, they were taxing me [...]

Serious Political Division
Since the mid-2000s, we have seen a great deal of political division in the U.S. One side is looking at the other and saying that they aren’t just wrong…they’re evil! There has been a real war going on beneath the surface in this country between the left and the right. It’s driving approval ratings down [...]
The Fox News Mole
Over the last year, a number of people have asked me about the infamous “Fox News Mole.” He was the guy who was working for Fox News Channel and writing on Gawker.com about his experiences with the company. He also showed off some stolen property from Fox News. He’s had a lot of legal problems [...]
Our Next President?
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is raising tons of money in his state to run for re-election. He was talked about as a possible Republican nominee in 2012 and is being talked about as a nominee in 2016. There are also headlines that he has had weight-loss surgery and lost 40 pounds since doing so. [...]
“Inside Washington” No More
My friends at DCRTV.com are reporting that the famed local show “Inside Washington” is a goner. DC legend Gordon Peterson hosts this political talk show.

The Continuing Issue of Unemployment

In the public sector, unemployment is under four percent! That’s amazing…not a great argument for big government…but amazing nonetheless. There is one problem…one big [...]
Canada’s PM Is Doing Good
It’s common for an American who is unhappy with the way things have gone in the U.S. to say that they are moving to Canada. Well, the current administration in Canada is making that sound like a very good idea! The Prime Minister of our neighbor to the north, Stephen Harper, has celebrated his 54th [...]
Syria and Chemical Weapons
Somewhere along the line we forgot to fear the use of chemical weapons. The truth is, it’s something we should fear. We should fear that they will be used in this country or with our allies. There are recent reports that chemical weapons have been used by the Syrian military. Apparently our President is concerned [...]
The Bush Library
I spent much of the 2000s covering the Bush administration. In fact, I had a front row seat for a lot of it. Yes, I too was a little disappointed with some of the decisions made during those years. I also learned something about Bush that it seems few people understand. You see, this image [...]
Chechnya and the U.S.
The Boston Marathon attacks were reportedly done by two guys who were linked to a nation that has been riddled with violence, Chechnya. There are now a number of questions as to how much of a link they actually had to Chechnya. Russia has dealt with Chechen attacks over the years. There is talk that [...]
