The skies are filled with the brooding thickness of a stormy morning. Rain is pounding the steel roof of my office, blurring the image of the world through the window’s glass pane. The vicious flooding on the streets brings with it a renewal of much needed life-nourishing water. The growth of indigenous weeds are rising alongside green blades of new grass through the soaked lawn out front that was browning from the thirst of a drought only days before. The Siberian Husky has retreated to the safety of her dog house, and the palm tree stands tall, dripping from the onslaught of a week’s worth of much needed moisture.

With the needed rain comes a destructive force, as well. Hillsides stripped of ground-cover from last season’s fires are sliding downward, pouring mud onto the neighborhoods below. Creeks are flooding over, and storm drains can’t seem to eliminate the water fast enough from major intersections flooded with impatient traffic carrying bodies that are desperately trying to get to work. Trees have fallen, and automobile accidents have dotted the highways. But perhaps the most destructive part of the storms is the least explored consequence of all.

The excuse used by the federal government for restrictions on gun ownership, the disallowance of health insurance being sold across state lines, or the restrictions placed by the feds on anything else that crosses state lines is in the U.S. Constitution. Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, also known as the [...]

Synopsis: In Vietnam a group of Marines accept a mission to enter into neighboring Cambodia to pick up a defecting Russian General. Once across the border, a Russian officer not willing to let the general go so easily complicates the rescue when he pursues the group with Soviet Commando troops, and gives the Marines a little more trouble than they bargained for.

After a barrage of Hollywood films that have portrayed the American Soldier in a negative light, Jack Marino decided it was time to make a film that reveals the true nature of the military. The troops in Vietnam consisted of fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons. Each one of them were brothers in arms in that foreign land, with all of the same real emotions that one would expect them to have.

Jack Marino’s theatrical thank you to our forgotten heroes begins with a meeting near the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. The pair of old friends reminisce, and send us back to a time when war in Vietnam was still a reality.

Political Pistachio Radio Revolution Addresses Income Tax Thievery by the State of California:
Last November the State of California began acting upon a new scam to suck more money out of the populace. The state is broke because the leftist progressive idiots of California’s government can’t seem to budget. The thievery is being accomplished by increasing [...]

The primary difference between liberals and conservatives is the size of government. The more someone moves to the left, the more government control over the people becomes a factor in their thinking. The more someone moves to the right, the less government is thought to be necessary in their lives. Tyranny versus liberty. Big Brother versus taking care of yourself.

Government, once it begins to grow, is a difficult monster to keep on a leash. Creeping incrementalism, I call it. The size of government will grow in an incremental manner over history until it comes to the point that the populace becomes enslaved by massive government, at which point revolution becomes the only means possible to change things back in the direction of liberty. When in the phase of growth, government exists for itself. Everything it does is for it’s survival, and growth.

In addressing the issue of Barack Obama’s birth certificate, and exactly where the president was born, I write a number of articles on the issue. Since some of them explore the possibility of a forgery having been created and aged under ultraviolet lamps, or because I have interviewed folks on my radio program like Orly Taitz (lawyer with numerous cases in the courts regarding Obama’s birth certificate) on the matter, it is automatically assumed by the leftists that I am a “birther” to the extreme. That is how they are. Give them something that may be construed a certain way, then their warped minds try to read into it, and a whole series of accusations rise to the surface.

Tim Geithner has a lot in common with his boss, Barack Obama. They are both liars, cheats, and need to be removed. In the case of Geithner, criticism is up, and his resignation is being called for by Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX), and Michael Burgess (R-TX).

Aside from the economy-killing policies of Geithner, there is a lot more to rate him as performing poor about.
