I would like to address this open letter to Senator’s Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell and Congresswoman Cathy McMorris-Rodgers. I just wanted you to know how very unhappy and disgusted I was to learn that you supported the “Murray-Ryan” budget bill. This bill takes way $6 Billion dollars over the next 10 years from retired military members. As a 30 year Veteran myself, I felt that this was a slap in our faces for the service that we provided to our country. You and the rest of the “Do Nothing Congress” needs to be reminded...
The New Year is traditionally a time for reflection and renewal. A shiny new year lies ahead, full of promise. The New Year is a time when people pledge to change their lives: lose weight, stop smoking, be a better parent, work harder, work less. Regardless of your situation, the New Year holds the opportunity for a fresh start. Our nation needs a fresh start. We are now entering the fifth year of the economic “recovery,” the slowest on record since the Great Depression. Whi...
Every year around this time my cable provider sends me a letter that’s tantamount to fraud. This letter I receive is, for all intents and purposes, an extortion letter wherein a faceless media titan threatens to hornswoggle me out of a few hard-earned bucks.

If it looks like a countrified hillbilly redneck and acts like a countrified hillbilly redneck, expect it to talk like a countrified hillbilly redneck. View the rube as a small part of this great country’s multicultural population. The unfathomably successful A&E show “Duck Dynasty” isn’t about ducks. It’s about a God-fearing, rural Christian family that doesn’t give a darn about modern sensitivity. Millions of TV viewers gawk at the rags-to-riches inventors of to-die-for duck calls. The show has generated billions (w...
Lt. Col. Dwight Peake said he remembers the Columbia disaster vividly. Ten years ago, the West Plains lost one of its own in a tragic incident. Lt. Col. Michael Anderson was one of the seven astronauts who perished in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster Feb. 3, 2003. An assembly last week at Michael Anderson Elementary on Fairchild Air Force Base celebrated Anderson’s contributions to the space program. Students at the school produced a special edition of Eagle News, the student news program, which included a brief b...
