by Daveda Gruber: Do you have a dog? I have a sweet little three pound chocolate colored teacup poodle named Lady Godiva. Her name seems irregular to some but I had reasons to name her that. Lady is so there is no mistake that she is a female dog. Godiva […]

Firing with both fists
Courage is not assertion without fear. Courage is assertion in spite of fear and comes in many forms, shapes, and sizes. I was reminded of this a few days ago while having a conversation. The individual I was speaking with was making jokes after receiving yet another round of chemotherapy. […]
Protection or Politics
Neil Gorsuch had a real opportunity. Senator Orrin Hatch, interestingly enough, walked the Supreme Court Nominee right into Marbury versus Madison. Gorsuch could have spent a significant amount of time providing knowledge (assuming he had some) or at least both sides of the argument in the 1803 case. Instead he […]
Security starts at home
Decades ago I hired a friend of one of my employees. The corporation I worked for wanted growth and to grow more bodies were needed. The new hire was average at best but again the company wanted growth so I stuck with him. One morning it was brought to my […]
If you don’t know now you know.
One day in high school I was informed that someone I was already not a fan of made a derogatory comment about me and my family. The next day I found the individual in the hallway between classes and asked if they indeed did say this. Let’s just say it […]
Ninth Circuit Circus
With all the insanity and illegality happening in the courts these days I thought it pertinent to again cover how our system works and doesn’t work. The idea of Democracy is to serve the majority which eventually leads to Tyranny. This is the culmination of Socratic Theory. A Republic or in […]

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 […]
Hot sauce Clinton, Under attack Williams, and Felon Fattah
These days most of the headlines on the internet have no value. The actual columns are worse. Nothing quite like the press, who got everything wrong during the Presidential election, trying to explain how things “went down”. These jokesters all want “street cred” these days. Maybe a bottle of hot […]
Burning anything in public is against the law
Apathy is sadly rampant in America. If not for technology, incredible distribution systems, and the giving of money and food through the generosity of the United States taxpayer, millions of Americans and illegals would no doubt starve to death. In our last election almost half of the country couldn’t be […]
Time to remove Liberalism…Permanently.
A few years ago I sat quietly in a large room filled with Americans listening to a speaker. The topic was the state of our country and what was taking place under the Obama regime. The speaker wasn’t passionate but entertaining in his own right as he walked through his […]
