We were on the air on Saturday when news broke that Joe Paterno died in Pennsylvania. Dead by cancer, but killed by the scandal that rocked the world of college sports when it was learned that Paterno was fired after Sandusky, another coach at Penn State, was arrested for molesting boys. Then came news that Gingrich won the South Carolina primary - and then there were two - as it looks like there is a debate going on in the GOP about electability (with those that want to win going to Romney) and those that want to harken back to the 1990s with Gingrich. The problem with Gingrich is that he can do well when he tears into the media and how evil they treat him, but that same opportunity is offered once and there is but one bite at that apple. Now the contest moves to Florida where the GOP in the Sunshine State, versus the open caucus where anybody could participate in South Carolina, should yield a result that favors the former governor and hopefully somebody will ask the former Congressman and House speaker who was forced out by his own party - what have you done lately? He's been a lobbyist for some of the most hated groups in Washington - he never left and became wealthy in the process - making more than $3 million in 2010 and giving less than 3% to charity. This is the same man that wants little black kids to be janitors to learn a work ethic when he hasn't worked a day in his adult life.

There is a scandal about Marines urinating on the bodies of dead Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Many hosts and talking heads keep talking about what should happen to them and many, including hosts I respect, say that these men (all enlisted) should be charged with very little and get a slap on the wrist. They're wrong. First, they cannot be charged with "conduct unbecoming..." that's a charge for officers, not enlisted men. They should be charged with a whole list of things and I lay out the charge sheet. Honor, Courage and Commitment are the United States Marine Corps values - is that what it means? We have men in the brig for committing adultery, these men should be there, if they admit it for 30 days and if they don't and demand trial, ninety. Nuclear scientists are dying all over Iran, don't get your degree in that, and Iran is blaming Israel and the USA (duh). I'd admit to doing it if I could, but I didn't go to Tehran lately. And a cruise ship is sinking on the Italian coast. Not the best days of your life (cruise ship song we think).

The primary is coming in NH and the news in California is breaking so it was a big night for state and local news. We touched on the national, but there is always so much going on locally that it seems a sin not to start there!

Just as we are about to sign off the air news breaks out of North Korea that the dictator, Kim Jong-Il, is dead. Details were just beginning to emerge from that dark country, but the death of the dictator certainly makes the region less stable. True to form, North Korea fired missiles the morning and evening after Il's death as a show of force. The program started out normal enough - talks about the budget battle on Capitol Hill and the absurd notion put forward by Newt Gingrich that he would have the authority as President to send federal Marshals to pick up sitting federal judges who make "controversial" decisions. There is a separation of powers in this country that creates three co-equal branches of government. The Legislative Branch, in the form of Congress, makes the law, the Executive, the President of the United States, executes the law, and the courts, all of them, interpret the law to see if it is constitutional. There is no question that courts have been making crazy decisions, but they made bad ones in the past too - slavery was constitutional in this country for a time. And Bradley Manning is making a gay defense: he had to betray his country by giving classified documents to WikiLeaks because he was gay and serving under Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT). He was also suffering from a "sexual identity crisis" - meanwhile in the real world, he's trying to get out of trouble by playing the "I'm gay and was stressed out" card. It won't work, but it sets gays back for certain because it helps solidify the notion that we can't be trusted in the military or around classified material.

Herman Cain had a press conference on Saturday to announce the suspension of his campaign. With just weeks left until the first caucus is held in Iowa all eyes are on Cain and who he will endorse. Early predictions say he'll endorse Gingrich, but we shall see. Odd thing was in Mother Jones, a liberal magazine to be sure, and it had to do with the fact that adultery is illegal in Georgia (and it just so happens that Cain and Gingrich are both from Georgia and were said to have had affairs - none proven mind you), but isn't it odd that when a conservative is just accused of adultery the left decides to take a look into the whole mess, but not so when it happens on the left with somebody like Gov. Spitzer (well, former governor) - the top law enforcement officer in the state of New York that was not only involved in adultery, but also engaged in criminal behavior of hiring hookers. Meanwhile, a surreal scene in West Hollywood this weekend as marches in Occupy West Hollywood decided to march not for equality or anything like that, but against wars that are ending and for the freedom of a traitor - Bradley Manning (the private in the brig for turning over secret documents to WikiLeaks). Amazing the energy people have to support evil. Speaking of evil, Iran claims to have shot down a stealth drone. NATO says it is a drone lost in western Afghanistan, but we'll never really know. Finally, President Obama, before leaving for yet another tax payer junket to Hawaii (his and hers planes?) called the president of Pakistan to APOLOGIZE that we fired on Pakistani soldiers FIRING on us. Will Obama EVER tire of apologizing for America?

Regular people in the GOP are sitting around stunned that the Union Leader in New Hampshire would endorse Newt Gingrich for the GOP nomination for President. The endorsement might be the right one and Gingrich might be the right guy to be President, but the GOP MUST nominate somebody that can beat Obama - Gingrich is not that guy. When I see him, when my friends see him and when my family sees him all we see is the impeachment of Bill Clinton and thoughts like "is this the best we've got to offer?" Newt cannot be the nominee or we might as well not bother to vote. He'll have no coattails. Didn't talk about the jumper on the bridge that caused a traffic nightmare to commuters for almost an entire day, but somebody should have taken him off the bridge with a stun gun. It is insane to ruin the commute for hundreds of thousands of people so that you can talk down somebody that is not going to kill himself. Lot's of polling data on the Euro and the idea of bailing out the European Union, Italy, Spain and other places that the USA rebuilt after WWII. They ruined their economies, let them fix it. And then there is the discussion of the rules and regulations in the UT that talk about the death of local business because of regulations. I surmised that if elected leaders were picked up by aliens tomorrow government would still be as intrusive as ever because of the everlasting and never ending intrusion of un-elected bureaucrats in every part of our lives.

Steve Yuhas, called a "rising star" in radio, hosts his unique take on current events and politics during The Steve Yuhas Show - dubbed Uniquely Conservative Talk Radio™. Heard live from San Diego to Santa Barbara; Mexico to Arizona and all over the world on AM 600 KOGO - San Diego's News & Talk Station.
From one entertainment reporter, "At first listen, Steve Yuhas sounds like just about any other right-wing talk-show host on the dial... His guests include the usual array of newsmakers and gadflies, and his running commentary is sprinkled with nasty zingers about liberals and Democrats. He buddies around with like-minded colleagues. And his arch-conservative opinions are reliably predictable." It is not exactly that simple for this Jewish disabled former military man who happens also to be gay.
Honorably discharged from the Marine Corps and Army, Yuhas served from Texas to Germany; California to the Middle East. He believes that service to his country made him able to overcome the adversity that came after he sustained a spinal cord injury. Now a Lifetime Member of the Disabled American Veterans as well as a member of Paralyzed Veterans of America - he works hard for military folks and veterans alike.
In a time when being a veteran is uncommon in public office, not to mention on radio and television, Yuhas brings a unique perspective to the field. Guests have included everyone from the high ranking military men in our and other countries, secretaries of government agencies, local and national politicians and international leaders including former Prime Ministers and ambassadors from the world over. Callers & Yuhas' unique biography make the Steve Yuhas Show unlike any other radio show. |

Demonic
The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.

Decision Points
Whatever you think about his presidency and whatever your thoughts are on 9-11 (unless you are a 9-11 "truther" nut), this is a good read that comes from the heart. You get to take a detailed look into what Bush was thinking when he made the choices he did not only when he was POTUS, but when he was climbing the ladder ot the White House. It is not snarky or pompous - in fact - it is a very humble look by someone who appears to be at peace by what he did as President of the United States.

The Truth About Hillary
Everyone knows that Bill Clinton wanted to be President of the United States ever since he was a boy. What almost no one knows is that his wife Hillary harbored the same ambition since she was a girl -- and that her plan from the very start of their marriage was to succeed him in the Oval Office.

A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media
"Never in my memory," says veteran journalist Bernard Goldberg, "were so many journalists so intent on effecting change as they were during the campaign of 2008." Sure, mainstream journalists always root for the Democrat -- Richard Nixon complained of media bias as long ago as his presidential campaign against John F. Kennedy in 1960. But in 2008 it went beyond that. In A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media, Goldberg shows that this time journalists were not satisfied merely being partisan witnesses to history.

On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting for
Texas governor Rick Perry, through the legacy of the Boy Scouts of America, takes dead aim at the moral relativism of the secular humanist movement, indicting its corrosive impact on the culture. Examining the left's legal assaults on the Boy Scouts of America - which span more than 30 years - Perry offers prescient insight into the multi-faceted war, which pits the proponents of traditional American values against the radical leftist movement that seeks to tear down our social foundations.

Repeal of DADT: time for ousted servicemen to return
By: Steve Yuhas
On Saturday the Senate voted 65 to 31 to end the policy known as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The outcome of the vote was known for days since Republican Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) indicated that he would vote for cloture and in favor of the bill if it came to the Senate in a stand-alone piece of legislation. It did and it passed, but the back-story is interesting since this could have been accomplished almost two years ago, but an even bigger story is what will happen to those people ‘wrongly fired’ since DADT became law? I say they should go back and finish their contract.

With the military’s ban on openly gay troops expected to end this fall, advocates for gay and lesbian service members are already looking ahead to the next battle: winning equal benefits for same-sex married couples. The NYT is running story after story about the inequality that gays say are involved in not being permitted base housing for live-in lovers and in the few states that allow it - spouses. But, there is a law that guides the military and that is federal law - DOMA. Don't like it? Change it, but the endless parade of stories is becoming quite boring.

A group of U.S. service members marched in a San Diego gay pride parade on Saturday, in a demonstration organizers touted as an unprecedented step for gay and lesbian military personnel under the Pentagon's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. The military contingent in the parade numbered about 250 people, and the former Navy operations specialist who brought the group together said many are currently in the military, while the rest are veterans. They dressed in civilian clothes. Some news outlets and gay blogs called gays "heroes" for marching down the street. What? Heroic for taking part in a parade that you were allowed to take part in under DADT? Really.

Michele Bachmann continues to be a favorite target of the left. On the one hand they WANT Bachmann to be the nominee because they think it will be an easy race (or easier) for Barack Hussein Obama. On the other hand they can't be too easy on her for fear of showing the country that she is really quite a success story - so what do they do? NYT hit pieces on her of course. This one has to do with how much she dislikes gay people (forget that she presided over a gay marriage in NY state and couldn't care less if people are gay or straight)

Enter the newest protected class: gays use vowels differently than their straight counterparts. Good Lord. Where do we go from here? Now anyone can prove a hate crime by saying "I lisp therefore I am..." A new study has suggested that the vowel sounds in an unfamiliar voice help identify a speaker's sexual orientation. "This is a phenomenon that occurs every day," said study leader Erik C Tracy, a cognitive psychologist at Ohio State University.

A MILLION tax payer dollars if your supervisor calls you a name? True story if you're in the LAPD (probably the most openly gay police force in the nation next to San Francisco): An openly gay police sergeant who said he was subjected to derogatory remarks by his supervisor was awarded $1.1 million by a jury Thursday. Sgt. Ronald Crump worked for the Los Angeles Police Department's media relations section in 2008 and 2009. While there, he said his supervisor, Lt. John Romero, made remarks about his sexuality, including that Crump was "the new Ruby minus the heels," a reference to a woman he succeeded in the unit. I might actually have a case too - not kidding...
