The Conundrum of CalExit

jason kraus

I was twenty-one and talking in the kitchen with a married couple from whom I’d just rented a room. This was necessary as I had  transferred to a California State University to finish my baseball career and graduate.  As it’d been a long day I decided to call it a […]

Dear President Trump

Dear President Trump, Finally the day has arrived. The United States will remove a community organizer and replace him with you. A Billionaire. A man who once boasted of drug and alcohol usage while telling children marijuana is the same as drinking beer is being replaced by you. A man […]

Variety and Spice?

In high school I crushed baseballs with a 34 inch 31 ounce Easton Black Magic.  She was a beauty.  That bat hit baseballs, golf balls, Wiffle balls, Wiffle golf balls thousands if not tens of thousands of times.  Batting cages, batting practice, tee time on the field and hours at […]

A new year is upon us. Once again America will experience “change”.  Let us “hope” this proposition will be a positive one.  At a bare minimum the addition by subtraction model will reward these United States as the removal of Obama will immediately pay dividends to the spirit and the […]

Yes the Klan still exists

jason kraus

A question was posed to me a while ago when the media was running around making a big case about “racism, Trump, and the Klan.” “Jason, do you think the Klan still exists?” “Of course they do.  They even come out and make statements quite often,” I answered. In 2010 […]

We need a bigger basket

jason kraus

Sadly we keep hearing the same two things over and over from the politicians, radio talk show squawkers, television talking heads and of course the incredible intelligentsia known as the American Media. (1) America is a Democracy. (2) Taking a knee or saying something stupid is a Constitutional Right. No […]
