Accidental deaths caused by doctors and hospitals in America reached 120,000 per year. Meanwhile, gun deaths have dropped 35 percent. In fact, accidental gun deaths dropped to 1,500 last year. Think about it. We have got hospitals slicing…

The Tax Code must go. Our labor, our savings, our investments all taxed. Our boat, our goat, our vote all taxed. Our sweat, our thrift, our future all taxed. Beam me up. Tax this. It is time to replace the socialist Income Tax Code in…
In America we have rewarded dependency, subsidized illegitimacy, and bragged about being family-friendly, but basically, we tax the institution of marriage. I think this is ridiculous. This bill has been moderated some after it has come…
A study finally admits, and I quote, ``America's borders are so wide open, terrorists could easily smuggle a nuclear bomb across both our borders.'' Think about it, 3 million illegal immigrants, heroin and cocaine by the tons, and now a…
America's borders are so wide open, terrorists could easily smuggle a nuclear bomb across both our borders.
Yesterday it was $40 billion, today they are talking $150 billion at Camp David. Unbelievable. While the White House continues to oppose a tax cut for married couples in America, the White House is literally throwing money around at Camp…
Leaders Barak and Arafat and President Clinton have been discussing peace in the Middle East for days. But something does not add up to me. Are they discussing peace, or dollars? Reports now say that American taxpayers may be asked to…
Drug Czar McCaffrey has $1 billion to spend on media campaigns, but he settled for subliminal hits. First, the czar allowed TV networks to avoid the 50/50 match by incorporating antidrug messages in their programs. Now the czar wants to…
The courts have struck again. First, it is now perfectly legal to jab scissors into the brain of a full-term baby being delivered until the baby dies; second, Internet pornography is now perfectly legal, even for kids. Think about it. The…
I have heard it all. The State Department is doing away with the term ``rogue states'' for Libya and Iran. They are now called ``states of concern''. Now if that is not enough to confuse Henny Youngman, a State Department spokesman said…
The world's first canine travel agency opened in Austria. No joke. A company advertises health spas for Rottweilers, massage parlors for Dobermans, beauty parlors for poodles. If that is not enough to throw up one's Alpo, they offer a…
For months, big oil companies have been averaging 350 percent profits. Averaging 350 percent. And after all that, finally the EPA says, and I quote: We suspect gouging by the big oil companies. No kidding, Sherlock. The truth is these…
The Supreme Court says pornography is okay and it is okay to burn the flag, that Communists can work in our defense plants, that it is okay to teach witchcraft in our schools and that it is okay for our students to write papers about the…
The Lord's prayer is 66 words; the 10 Commandments, 179 words; the Gettysburg Address, 286 words; the Declaration of Independence, 1,322 words; the United States Tax Code, 2 million 8 hundred thousand plus words. It is out of control. In…
The Department of Labor is bragging about all the new high-tech jobs they created. Let us check a few of them out. Dust collector, potato peeler, pretzel twisting, mattress testing, pillow stuffer, brassiere cup molder cutter, and panty…
Gasoline is $2.20 a gallon. That is right, $2.20. Now, if that is not enough to bust your bunions, Congress gives billions of dollars to OPEC countries, and they rip us off. To boot, the domestic oil companies are gouging us so bad, we are…
Elian Gonzalez watched his mother drown, he then clinged to a tire at sea to save his life, and after all of that, commandos seized him at gunpoint. If that is not enough to portray a gulag, Americans later gathered right here in the…
I have heard arguments that protecting workers is shoving jobs overseas. I would like to make issue with that. I think our tax and trade policies are chasing American companies overseas. And here is how we are trying now to save a few…
Secretary of Labor Elizabeth Dole announced a major initiative to reduce repetitive motion trauma. She said she intended to begin the rule-making process immediately. She said Assistant Secretary of Labor Scanell shall begin an inspection…
It is a buy-American amendment. It is the sense of the Congress that any money expended be used where possible to buy American-made goods, there be a notice made to the people who get this money, and after it's all over and they do the…
The World Trade Organization ruled that an 84-year-old American law duly passed by Congress, designed to stop illegal dumping was, in fact, no longer legal. The WTO sided with Japanese steel imports saying that the American law is a…
An Iranian defector said Iran was responsible for the bombing of Pan Am 103, not Libya. No kidding, Sherlock. The whole world was told that years ago, but the Justice Department turned their back. Reports said that Iran hired the Syrians…
A memo now proves that the FBI urged Janet Reno to stop investigating illegal Chinese campaign contributions to the Democratic Party. Janet Reno was told she would lose her job. Janet Reno did not lose her job. Until this day, the Justice…
This amendment calls for an update from our intelligence community on the effects of foreign espionage on United States trade secrets, on, in fact, our patents, our technology development, our industrial complex, our military industrial…
Military experts say that China just bought 24 cruise missiles from Russia. They now say American ships are now, quote/unquote, dead meat, dead meat. Think about it. We give Russia foreign aid. Russia builds missiles. Russia sells the…
