Kurds want ISIL defeated, but Assad as our top ally

Kurds want ISIL defeated, but Assad as our top ally

The Kurds are our friends. They protect American journalists and are the bastion of sanity left in the war-torn portion of Syria. It was an interesting and telling moment during the second debate when Hillary Clinton communicated some apprehension in “some circles” about increasing arms to the Kurds. The Kurds do not have a political […]

Second debate turns ugly and policy made an appearance

Second debate turns ugly and policy made an appearance

The second debate is over, and it was like staring at the sun. That debate was ugly. There’s too much to say. I’m not sure where to begin. Overall, it was entertaining. The opening speeches were OK, not great, almost eerily tame. They both knew this was going to turn into a geriatric boxing match. […]

Second Debate: What to expect for the Presidential Debate tonight

Second Debate: What to expect for the Presidential Debate tonight

It’s been a whirlwind week. I’ve never heard the word ‘pussy’ used so liberally on television before. Will that dominate the debate this evening? It is, after all, a town hall style debate. Will Anderson Cooper allow the public knowledge of Trump’s hot mic to go unanswered in their debate medium? I don’t know – […]

Hillary’s destructive leadership, a Navy SEAL turned media CEO’s perspective

Hillary’s destructive leadership, a Navy SEAL turned media CEO’s perspective

Hillary Clinton represents everything that is bad and needs to be changed about politics in America. She has made a career out of manipulation, character assassination (on the women who slept with her husband), and an orchestrated schizophrenic foreign policy (at best) that has contributed to chaos in the Middle East, which has resulted in […]

VP Debate wasn’t as good as I had hoped but, not that bad

VP Debate wasn’t as good as I had hoped but, not that bad

The VP Debate aired this week. The world watched as these two older white men duked it out on national television. Tempers rose high and voices were raised, a few times. It was tough to stream this morning on YouTube to review the event. Maybe because so many realized it happened after reading it in […]

What can we expect from the VP debate no one is waiting for

What can we expect from the VP debate no one is waiting for

I’m hoping there are some policy details this go-around. This is the least anticipated debate I can remember. The debate “no one is waiting for.” In this discussion, unfortunately, they’ll likely focus on the presidential candidates. The Vice Presidential debate could end up sounding like a more official punditry session. But, they might bring up […]
