Fighting Terrorism in Primetime

D.H.S. – The Series … “a multimillion-dollar episodic series, will explore the inner workings of the Department of Homeland Security, teaming the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and National Security Administration (NSA) together with “first responders” such as local police, fire and safety administrators.” The series is being pitched to prospective networks today and has the

Deer Meets Headlights

I post this with little or no comment. Just click and watch the video from last December. “There’s time for politics. And, you know — there’s time for politics. And I — it’s an absurd insinuation.”*

The Ban: Defined

If you’re going to argue a point, for or against, you’re always better off knowing exactly what you’re fighting … or championing. A little more than a day (or two) after I made a rather rambling post addressing the hot topic of marriage and its defense, the POTUS decided to ignite the first M-80 of
