Find The Most Important Journalist While Shoveling $#!+

by John November 4, 2016

Yes, my new book, called appropriately Informed Not Inflamed, on the media and media bias is in the works. However, writing it I felt like the zoo keeper stuck behind an elephant with incurable diarrhea.  It’s not easy cleaning up a shit storm. The message, like the first book, is how to find the most important […]

Healthcare Campaign BS While Sticker Shock Hits

by John November 3, 2016

(For the record, I am a spokesperson and a member of Liberty HealthShare. You can also listen to this radio excerpt with Dale Bellis, the Executive Director of Liberty HealthShare.)

Is US Politics Showing Symptoms of Cancer?

by John October 31, 2016

Watching and reading the news on Hillary and Trump makes me think of a man dying of cancer. Tell me if this makes sense. The man is terminal.  But he can’t understand why.  He was the healthiest person he knew. In fact, he was so healthy he never went to the doctor. He ignored symptoms. “Just […]

by John October 6, 2016

This is also a podcast that you can listen to here. So why aren’t Trump and/or Hillary resonating?  Many of you won’t like my answer because you are the problem.

Melania Trump Controversy Perspective and #It’sTheSolutionsStupid

by John July 19, 2016

(Here’s my take on the Melania Trump speech flap. And I introduce a new hashtag you can use for both conventions: #It’sTheSolutionsStupid.) Melania Trump’s speech is the new shiny object for political dogs.  We are now spending – no, make that wasting — our time debating whether somebody lifted words from someone else’s speech eight […]

My speech to the GOP and eventually the Democratic Convention

by John July 18, 2016

(No, I have not been asked.  Really, would you ask me?  But if I was, this is what I would say along with the side remarks in parenthesis.) To my fellow conservatives (I am a fiscal conservative), let me say congratulations on being a part of the political process.  Thank you for doing something.  Thank […]

US Solutions and Problems Simply Explained

by John July 11, 2016

Our American institutions continue to astound. Elected officials in Washington — both parties — and most of the media — print, broadcast, and social — fail to look at the real problems and solutions. Instead, we get brawls, bombast, and bravado. And We The People allow it. Would you run your company this way?  Would […]
