Bill Sekeres of Bakersfield is in a bit of trouble with the U.S. Secret Service.
The 73-year-old retired executive may or may not have threatened to "take out" the president of the United States during idle dinner conversation recently at a Bakersfield restaurant.
Sekeres says he...

When word started circulating that President Barack Obama would deliver a national address directly to the nation's students on Tuesday, it didn't take long for the decision to become politicized.
Some conservative bloggers and reportedly one local talk radio host have already called for parents...

Today, Feb 12, is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, America's 16th president. As I wrote a story yesterday about Lincoln and a Tehachapi man's family connection to Lincoln's campaign for the Senate in 1858, I started thinking about how Lincoln has become an icon -- even a...

The American people sure were dooped this year. You see, we got exactly what they wanted. We were given two main choices for President, both of which would (and will) ruin our country. McCain was the lesser of two evils, if you're going to play that game. But, mark my...

President George W. Bush is one of the greatest presidents we've ever had, but everybody, (including many pathetically weak, disloyal Republicans that have fallen for the "Bush-is-Hitler-lite-left-wing propaganda BS), have been trashing him ever since we went into Iraq.
When Moses led God's...

There is a third party candidate running for President who could get our country back on track. His name is CHUCK BALDWIN.
I know that most of you probably have never heard of CHUCK BALDWIN before, so I encourage you to look him up online and learn more.
He's the most American candidate...

Obama left this prayer at the Wall in Israel. He's an amazing man.
Lord — Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will.
When I can figure out how to upload...

After speaking in front of 200,000 cheering fans in Berlin, presidential hopeful Barack Obama is meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy this morning. Then he's off to London to meet with PM Gordon Brown and his predecessor Tony Blair.
There's no denying his rock-star billing and the love...

It has become so obvious to me that our country's leaders are trying to put our country on a different path. A path that is totally at odds with the path our foundng fathers tried to create. The war, whether we are winning or not, is absolutely unconstitutional and immoral. Both...

For all you Republicans and Democrats, it's time to leave your parties. That's right. Register as a decline to state, or register as Constitution Party or American Independent Party.
You can only take so much of this nonsense. The Republicans are blind on the war and blind on...

OK so Bill "Mr. Go-tee" Richardson endorse Obama and stated that super delegates should follow the peoples will (aww he says he want it to be democratic) and that everyone should vote that way presumably not just to vote for Clinton.
Well correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the...

Barack Obama had Rev. Jeremiah Wright marry him and been his spiritual advisor for years. He consulted him before his Presidential run and also relied on him for his state runs.
All I know him saying that he's like an uncle i dont agree with sometimes is nuts.

I think McCain did what he needed to do today. Reach out to Conservatives and be honest. He came out and stated what everyone would think he would dodge. He came out with honesty, admitted mistakes and came to the conclusion that he needed to make amends. He made his case and I for one do...

They're trickling in; I'll update this post as they rumble past.
Obama pulls Georgia, predictions say.
(Huckabee, as we learned this a.m., took West Virginia).
The big one to watch (until CALIFORNIA arrives) is Missouri, a winner-takes-all harbinger. At least, so the pundits say.

Some press releases we get are worth sharing for entertainment, rather than news, value.
One just rolled in with the subject line:
"Story Idea: How 'Acting Like a Lady' Can Help Hillary's Campaign."
OK. Thank you, Roxanne from North Carolina, for this "story" idea....

The winner takes all delegates there. Lots of 'em.

• If the R ticket becomes a McCain/Romney battle, which candidate will local Giuliani supporters turn to?

So we've all heard Kerry's rant. "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." But what many progressives will say to defend Kerry was that he was talking...

Many extreme liberals love to equate the war in Iraq to the war in Vietnam. When they do ask them if they support the troops. Most of them (unless they have a death wish by the rest of America) will say they do. A common mistake among conservatives is to ask how they support...
