The media demand that Trump correct an audience member who said, “We know Obama’s a Muslim.” They contrast his behavior with that of John McCain in the 2008 campaign when he corrected a questioner who said that. McCain lost. I have a question for the media who are doing that. Why would it need to be “corrected?”   Is there something wrong with being a Muslim? Would Trump need to correct an audience member who said Obama was gay? Or who said Obama was Italian?   Gotcha

The following are words and phrases you will hear from opposing coaches if you apply the principle of contrarianism to your offense.“Base! Base!” That’s what opposing defensive coordinators and field captains will yell when you align in a formation they do not expect or use a contrarian tempo like my warp-speed, no-huddle.“Timeout!

In the game I mentioned elsewhere on this page, the team that won the overtime toss,...

I think the following are also essentially non-believers whose only interest in Christianity is to get votes or avoid losing them: Hillary Clinton Bill Clinton George W. Bush Jeb Bush John McCain Donald Trump I don’t know enough...

I used to respect Europe. What a bunch of politically-correct morons! Have they never heard of the Mariel boatlift? You could caption all the photos from this crisis “Islam,” especially the one of the drowned 3-year old lying dead on the beach. These refugees are running away from Islamic countries. Why? Apparently because Islamic countries suck.  Actions speak louder than words. These people who are “migrating” don’t want to live in countries run by Islamists. They remind me of the Lations coming across the Mexican border with the the U.S. They don’t want to live in countries run by native-born...
