Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent-Equal rights advocates do spend entirely too much time and money helping micro-minorities achieve full equality at the expense of larger minorities. One has to keep in mind that micro-minorities are usually in the country illegally or have gained full assistance through various charitable organizations as well as refugee assistance programs. They have been given top priority as well as a full range of benefits while other larger minorities stand by with little to nothing in comparison to those who have come into the country recently, and under less than lawful conditions.

The NFL recently warned the state of Texas that a proposal to limit transgender access to bathrooms could impact future decisions about the location of major sporting events. Is this nothing more than political blackmail? Should organizations/big businesses be allowed to pursue public policy agendas at the expense of fans/consumers?
Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent-It is nothing more than political blackmail, and organizations like the NFL should not be allowed to pursue public policy agendas at the expense of fans, consumers and state laws that make policies on behalf of citizen majorities.
The idea that the NFL and other organizations and businesses should make or greatly influence policy is ludicrous. As NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy recently stated, “If a proposal that is discriminatory or inconsistent with our values were to become law there (Texas) that would certainly be a factor considered when thinking about awarding future events.”
Texas Governor Abbott responded to McCarthy’s remark by saying, “For some low-level NFL adviser to come out and say that they are going to micromanage and try to dictate to the state of Texas what types of policies we’re going to pass in our state, that’s unacceptable,” and he is right, it is unacceptable.

Should the Monday after the Super bowl be named a national holiday?
Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent- The Monday after the Super Bowl should not be named a national holiday because Americans have enough holidays to keep them out of work for an extra day or two as it is, but that won’t stop food companies like Kraft /Heinz from attempting through an advertising ploy for their food products . They have planned on letting their salaried employees off the day after Super Bowl LI, February 6, 2017. Continue reading

With automakers stepping up production of self-driving cars, will these cars replace traditional cars in the distant future?
Owatonna, MN Correspondent– Considering that it took mankind thousands of years to replace the horse and carriage with the automobile, it’s reasonable to assume that it won’t take nearly as long to develop fully functioning driverless cars that are used by every driver on the planet. Exactly how far into the future this may happen is the question. Continue reading
Donald Trumps First month as President
From our Gastonia, NC Correspondent
We’re not even a month into the Trump administration, and already the fur is flying. The hinted-at ties to Russia that didn’t quite gain traction in the press or the public consciousness before the election are becoming more and more troublesome, and the orange-haired one simply can’t wean himself from his Twitter habit, providing endless fodder for late-night pundits and Sunday morning commentators. If you solely look at Twitter, we appear to have left our country in the hands of a thin-skinned adolescent who’s obsessed with how unfairly he’s being treated. Continue reading
The Federal Reserve finally ended their zero-interest-rate stance after about seven years. Will rising interest rates cause a recession in the next year or two?
Owatonna, MN Correspondent– The U.S. economy has been chugging along at a slow-to-moderate pace since the current recovery began back in 2009 after the Great Recession ended. Part of the reason for that steady growth and lack of volatility in the stock market must be chalked up to historically low interest rates. Rising interest rates may precipitate a recession, but that’s not a certainty. Continue reading
With recent comments made by Madonna, should the Feds hold Hollywood figures to the same standards as everyone else and seek potentially criminal charges?
Owatonna, MN Correspondent– After listening and watching Madonna’s entire speech at the recent Women’s March on Washington, I came away from it thinking the speech was lackluster and devoid of real passion or intensity. Yes, she did drop a few F-bombs and said she’d thought about “blowing up the White House.” Other than that, it could have been a generic speech from almost any member of any minority that has been oppressed in one way or another.

Does Jared Kushner’s appointment by President Trump present a conflict of interest?
Gastonia, NC Correspondent-Back in the ‘70s, my father took a job as the assistant superintendent of education for the state of Louisiana. Shortly after he was hired, his boss went to prison for various corruption schemes. That man’s successor was an absolute study in Louisiana politics at its finest. Within seven months of his having taking office, every single one of his immediate family members, along with a goodly number of cousins, aunts and uncles, had been given jobs with the state.
