California votes to allow non-citizens as jurors!
California invites just one more blow against American justice! By Doc Vega Being a former Californian I must truly hang my head in shame when I look at the out of control leftist government that has gripped one of the most beautiful states in America. For some reason, the likes of Senators Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer are allowed to get away with influencing radical legislation that robs us of our Constitutional rights. In doing so we are seeing two things. We are seeing a state ravaged by high taxes, unrealistic environmental regulations, and disastrous immigration policy. An ominous future awaits the American judicial system Look to the state of California as the future of the rest of America of this insane type of legislation persists. In addition to the [...]

Do you Want the Answers? Just ask President Obama
We are being ruled by a President unconcerned with the damage he has unleashed upon American society. We need to throw him out! By Doc Vega In the 7 or more months since the Benghazi attack in which we lost our ambassador, 4 of his staff, and a former Navy Seal body guard, not to mention many more US federal diplomatic employees, we have yet to get a straight answer. When asked by a reporter at a press conference today about Benghazi, the President acted as if it was an unimportant matter that he knew nothing about and once again would have to get answers for from his advisers. Mister President! You were at the helm. You were at the White House when diplomatic alerts were being broadcast. You were in the situation room as Leon Panetta and David Patraeus met with you over a siege [...]

Gloves are off over the Boston Bombings time to face the music!
The White House will not stop until our Constitutional rights are gone! By Doc Vega For weeks now, we the American people have languished in abject horror over the events at the Boston Marathon where pressure cooker bombs were used to create a horrific scene that disrupted a celebrated event, killed and maimed several people, and has led many to the conclusion that the official story is intentionally deceptive. Some people will ask the wrong questions in this tragedy, some will ask the right ones. One thing, however, is for sure. Never in the history of our nation have we had the willful publicly expressed opinions by the media convey a hope that conservative Americans were behind this act of terrorism! A Salon magazine article wanted a right-wing White Supremacist to be the [...]
A Fresh Page for George W Bush
Former President George W. Bush has proved himself classy, and respectful of all Americans and each differing opinion. It is with his new library the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, that President Bush has proved he is truly a humble man by the features in his new library and museum. The library features exhibitions regarding key and controversial tumultuous times during his presidency such as focuses on 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq. What I found most appealing is that the exhibits verbally acknowledge both the pros and cons of the major historical decisions the President had to make during his eight years. I admire that a person that is not a supporter of George W. Bush can still find and read about things that resonate with them too. It was obvious that although [...]
