More recently, he had been developing a therapeutic program for kids, involving the care of horses. Risky as it was to leave his profession; Searle’s heart drove him to develop this program, and to implement it in a ranch setting for young men. Several years ago,...

Here are some random thoughts on the passing scene from someone not nearly as smart as Dr. Thomas Sowell: The only reason Hillary Clinton is considered a viable presidential contender is because she is a womenses. The only two reasons Elizabeth Warren is considered a viable presidential contender are being a womenses and because some people have deluded themselves into thinking Hillary Clinton isn’t a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth Leftist. Democrats know that if Hillary Clinton doesn’t run for president in 2016, they are screwed. Considering my previous random thought, what does this tell you about the state of the Democrat...

Coronation for Hillary? Not So Fast!

Coronation for Hillary? Not So Fast!

Posted by | Dec 5, 2014 | , |

If you listen to the punditocracy both left and right, you would think Hillary Clinton as the next president was a forgone conclusion and elections a mere formality.   Now where have we heard that kind of talk before? If you answered “2008”, you win the $64,000 question.
