You want to go to war with ISIS? I have some questions for you

What, exactly, are we afraid of?

Bruce St. James | September 2, 2014 5:09 pm

ISIS is reprehensible, but the militants will not be invading New Jersey, so let’s not call for storming the castle.
Not voting? Then you can only blame yourself

Bruce St. James | August 26, 2014 1:08 pm

The problem, as I see it, is with so many “safe” seats and races, the primary is the only competitive election.
‘For-profit policing’ and how it contributed to Ferguson nightmare

Bruce St. James | August 22, 2014 4:08 pm

Much has been made about the divide between law enforcement and citizens recently in the wake of Ferguson, Missouri. I think it’s understandable that many of us have difficulty making sense of the violent reaction to police and the deep-seated mistrust in some communities. Research from a nonprofit group of public defenders in Missouri may […]
2 confrontations highlight very different police responses

Bruce St. James | August 14, 2014 4:08 pm

You tell ME the difference: Two protests. Two groups of protesters. Two completely different responses. What is happening in Ferguson, Missouri is disgusting on a variety of levels. The shooting of an unarmed citizen and the rioting and looting in response to it have become a sad chapter in American history. But we have a […]
Death of race car driver a tragic but possibly avoidable accident

Bruce St. James | August 11, 2014 4:08 pm

In light of the tragedy Saturday night that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr., and changed the life of NASCAR star Tony Stewart, I wanted to share some pictures and video to better illustrate some of the specific challenges drivers face inside (and out) the car. The wing (or airfoil) comes down low on […]
If I were king: Welcome, campaign restrictions!

Bruce St. James | July 23, 2014 4:07 pm

Prior to my election/coronation as your king, I think it’s important to state some of my positions, which I shall decree on Day . We will still hold elections, but with some changes. Nobody will be allowed to identify with a political party and must run on his or her own ideas and character. Also, […]
Talk loudly and carry a small stick

Bruce St. James | July 21, 2014 5:07 pm

Americans are frustrated with the attitude, tone and words President Barack Obama is using in his foreign policy talks, the latest being the loss of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 and the Russian involvement. But according to a new Politico poll, nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want to actually DO anything about these bad guys, […]
NFL player’s kind gesture turns into big gaffe

Bruce St. James | July 8, 2014 3:07 pm

DeAngelo Williams is a running back for the Carolina Panthers. He’s pretty good (I had him on my fantasy team a few years ago) and apparently a nice guy. Monday he tweeted a picture of a Marine sitting in the boarding area before a flight, coupled with DeAngelo’s first-class ticket. His way of showing respect […]
Disrespecting Office of President isn’t funny

Bruce St. James | July 7, 2014 5:07 pm

You can’t even avoid partisan political bickering at a Fourth of July parade. A float depicting the Obama Presidential Library as an outhouse was part of the parade in Norfolk, Neb. Some think it’s the funniest thing they’ve ever seen. EVER. Others deride this as a racist stab at the president. Both are wrong. Update: […]
Yarnell Hill, one year later: Gone, but not forgotten

Bruce St. James | June 30, 2014 3:06 pm

Has it been a year already?
Memorial candle for Green Acre dogs too reminiscent of human tragedy

Bruce St. James | June 27, 2014 3:06 pm

A Facebook page called The Tragedy at Green Acre Dog Boarding Gilbert, AZ has nearly 14,000 likes. Besides promoting Saturday’s candlelight vigil for the dogs that died a week ago, the page recently posted this picture for supporters to share on social media. While I am truly saddened by the tragedy at Green Acre, why […]
Government pulling ‘Redskins’ trademark is idiotic

Bruce St. James | June 20, 2014 6:06 pm

Full disclosure: I was raised and grew up outside of Washington, D.C. and have been a lifelong fan of the Washington Redskins. I own many jerseys, t-shirts and hats and, like all Redskins fans, live in the past, reminiscing on the days when we were a good football team. I think the argument over the […]
The second-largest religion in Maricopa County surprised me

Bruce St. James | June 5, 2014 5:06 pm

If I asked you what the No. 1 religion in America was, you’d probably get the answer right away. (Hint: It’s Christianity) But if I asked you what No. 2 was, what do you think? Better yet, what is unique about Arizona that makes us different from New Mexico, California, Utah and Nevada and 44 […]
Tool shows effect Brown v. Board had on your school

Bruce St. James | May 28, 2014 6:05 pm

Sixty years after the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in schools was unconstitutional (Brown v Board of Education), new data shows we may just be RE-segregating ourselves. Plug in your high school and graduating year and let us know how much YOUR school has changed.
