What I’m Watching: Ken Burns’ Vietnam

by John December 7, 2017

A warning here.  US Baby Boomers and older might find this documentary series difficult to watch. I mentioned Ken Burns Vietnam to a Vietnam vet. “Why do I want to relive that again?” Then I remembered my flashback while watching the doc. It was 1967. I was 12 serving as an altar boy at the […]

What Missing From Tax Reform: Smart-Rich Americans

by John October 23, 2017

The Trump tax reform proposal was not entirely crazy. But it failed in two big ways. It fails to realize what is coming. Artificial Intelligence and the block chain technology are going to change the way businesses work and how we will.  Business transactions will be a click and done.  Sounds great, right?  Sure, but […]

Liberty Health Share is in my DNA

by John October 16, 2017

I’m no joiner. You won’t find me in many clubs or groups. It’s just me. But when I do, I go all in. Take this website and blog.  It’s all about finding solutions when politics and the media can’t or won’t. I’m “all in” with my favorite jobs: news anchor at KTNV in Las Vegas; host of […]

Sorry, Football, I Think I Am Done

by John September 18, 2017

I have not seen one football game this season; only small portions; but with little or no interest. Baseball and golf seem to be my sports watching.  Will that change come November?  I don’t think so. Football holds no interest for me anymore. My head, heart, and gut say by watching I would be supporting […]

by John August 14, 2017

The day was March 28, 2012.  It’s the day Congress officially — with both parties in majority agreement — killed the Simpson-Bowles Plan. This was a well-researched plan that could have: Reduced our debt while growing the economy Encouraged all segments of American society to sacrifice and work together to make our country truly great again.

Perspectives on Charlottesville

by John August 14, 2017

Consider these points after Charlottesville. Alt-right white supremacist came to the rally armed. The alternate protests apparently did not. Virginia State Police were frightened about the white supremacists’ fire power. Sure, you can compare the driver/killer to the shooter at the GOP softball practice; both are mentally sick. The statue of Robert E Lee at […]

What We Fail To See

by John August 13, 2017

Here’s what they won’t enlighten or remind us about – that […]

A Warning Should Go Off When You Hear Stuff Like This on Cable News

by John August 7, 2017

Jim Enright from Planet Boomerville had me on for a podcast about media bias and how to spot it. It got me thinking that a lot of us might need warning signs. You know, like your smart phone goes off to alert you.  Too bad smart phones can’t detect media bias. So, instead, on occasion […]
