	June 16, 2013- Scandals are rocking the Obama Administration so he's doing what all president's do when they're under siege: He's traveling. The G8 Summit is taking place this week and it was disclosed by the NSA traitor, Edward Snowden, that during the events in 2009 the USA and Britain spied on the phone calls and emails of foreign leaders. Then there is the fallout from the IRS scandal - everybody is still on the payroll (and the one person that left is likely on administrative leave) so nobody is facing consequences for their decision to target conservative people. The immigration debate is happening and Marco Rubio and the Gang of Eight are all pushing for a bill that is terrible for the country, but people like Lindsay Graham say it's good for the Republican party - WHO CARES?! It's about principles and morality - not the next election. The NSA scandal is getting overblown and where are the drones? We can use a drone for everything, but we can get a drone to make Snowden disappear? $100 MILLION - that's the approximate cost of the president and first lady going on yet another vacation - this time to Africa. Michelle Obama is spending $3,300 a night for a suite of rooms at a hotel in Ireland so she can get a feel for their culture as Irishmen. Huh? We can't keep the White House tours going (they cost $18,000 a week - roughly), but we can spend $100 MILLION to send Obama and his family to Africa? It gets worse than that - the Obama's are also going to rent a mansion on Martha's Vineyard for another vacation after doing Europe and Africa. These people cost more than a monarch.
	June 2, 2013- Few in the West will come out and say there is a problem with Islam, but former British prime minister Tony Blair says the beheading of a British soldier proves there is a problem with Islam. British Muslims are incensed by his opinion, but if groups were killing in the name of Tom Cruise, wouldn’t we blame Scientology? Of course we would. Speaking of scandals: IRS underlings are seemingly unwilling to take the blame for their political bosses and tell the House oversight committee that orders were sent from Washington, D.C. to scrutinize conservative and religious groups. Rep. Darrell Issa says that IRS agents that were deposed last week all agree: Instructions to target came from Washington and falling on the sword is not what federal employees do. Oklahoma had another round of tornados late last week and severe weather continued into the weekend. Three storm chasers – who chased tornados the way some chase wild animals – were killed running after tornados. The big question for onlookers is should these careless people be counted among the dead that include people swept from their cars or homes in the wrong place at the wrong time? The Governor of Oklahoma says they will rebuild – in the same place as the storm hit. How much more money can the American people send to places destine to be destroyed again? Jean Stapleton died in her home at the age of 90 – surrounded by friends and family. She was a woman that brought a lot of enjoyment to people around the world for her roles as Edith Bunker – Archie’s wife – and on Broadway. Another first for President Obama: For the first time since the end of the Cold War and the Soviet Union, Russia plans to resume nuclear submarine patrols in the southern seas after a hiatus of more than 20 years.
	April 26, 2013- Memorial Day is the day that we remember the fallen – not the injured, not the people that served – the fallen. Why has Memorial Day turned into a second Veterans Day? Don’t thank people like me for their service – thank the mother, father, sister, brother, sons, daughters, husbands, or wives of the DEAD – we’re thanked enough. As opposed as I am to talk about living veterans on Memorial Day, I’ll make an exception because agreeing with the Socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders is so uncommon. He says we don’t need a presidential commission to study the backlog of veterans claims at the V.A. I couldn’t agree more – we know what the problem is – how about processing the claims instead of paying a commission (solved – can I be chairman?). Last week a British soldier was beheaded in the streets of London (and some on the left, including NPR journalists) want to wait to see why the terrorists did what they did before they are comfortable labeling it a terror attack. What else could it be? Three more people were arrested over the weekend in that killing – a beheading in the streets of a major Western city – this isn’t Pakistan. I thought the British, the same people who faced down Hitler under tremendous odds, would face down this threat with a typical stiff-upper-lip, but they aren’t: The Ministry of Defense is telling BRITISH SOLDIERS not to wear their uniforms in public. What? Instead of killing the bad guys and cleaning the mosques funded by terrorists and savages that praise the attack who used to live in England, they want soldiers to pretend not to be soldiers? Insane. Not to be outdone by having only British soldiers being beheaded – a radical in Paris stabbed a French soldier in the neck over the weekend while he was on patrol. What will it take for the people of Europe to understand that their system of welcoming in every person and throwing everybody on the dole will not work? The Oklahoma tornado destroyed an area that was already hit by two previous damaging tornados in the last 20 years. At what point do we ask when is it time NOT to rebuild? The American people are generous and it is hard to tell people that they should not rebuild their homes, schools or businesses, but at some point we have to stop spending federal tax dollars to rebuild private property simply because people were not insured. Let the states handle that and if they can’t, rely on private charity, but this kind of money wasting has got to stop (as N.J. keeps asking for more – and getting it).
	April 21, 2013- The Obama Administration is having a banner year when it comes to dead Americans: Major Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood killed Soldiers in the name of allah (or whomever) and the military KNEW he was in contact with al Qaeda in Yemen's spiritual advisor, but because of political correctness they didn't want to say anything. There is blood on the hands of the president overseas too: Benghazi was a terror attack on an American embassy - the first in a generation that killed an ambassador and three others - we still don't know what happened there. Add in a few other attacks and foiled plots and you get to the Boston Marathon bombing. The perpetrators in that bombing were KNOWN to the FBI and one was even questioned, but the FBI did nothing - that's Obama's Justice Department. Disclosed when we went on air were talking points that came to light showing that Marco Rubio, Grover Norquist, and the Cato Institute are all trying to put lipstick on the pig of terror to show that the attack in Boston is the reason we need immigration reform. That would be logical if an ILLEGAL immigrant did the deed, but they didn't - these were legal U.S. residents and one was a U.S. citizen - both came to the USA from Chechnya. The surviving brother is communicating with the FBI in writing because he was shot in the throat and will not likely be able to speak anytime soon. Also, President Obama called to thank President Putin of Russia - for what? Nobody is sure and the White House isn't telling. What a mess our president is huh? The only good thing out of this whole event in Boston is the fact that terrorists now know how to close a major American city - set off a couple of bombs and scare people into being indoors for days at a time. Imagine this happening in a few major cities at the same time on the same day. We have to be more resilient than this or we will live in fear forever.
	April 14, 2013- Democrats are putting on a show with their new budget that doesn’t count over $1.2 TRILLION in spending (and they have a more than $1 trillion tax increase on top of the largest tax increase in U.S. history that took effect on January 1, 2013). Some of the spending is just amazing, but nothing is more damaging than the continued borrowing. It’s just money? Federal spending was up $30.5 billion in the first five months of fiscal 2013 compared to the first five months of fiscal 2012, according to newly released data from the U.S. Treasury. We found out this week that there is yet another study to find out why lesbians are chubby compared to straight women and gay men. It sounded familiar and it turns out the government did a similar study in the past – just a few years ago. The study showed that body image was more important to men and the $1.5 million sounds small, but imagine how many other things government is doing over and over and over again. Ever wonder what it would be like to be on a train when the nuclear monitors went off? Now you don’t have to – here is video from Chicago of what happens during a false alarm. For the first time, two Academic Decathlon teams from California will proceed to the national competition, setting the stage for a showdown between former national title winners from Los Angeles Unified. The problem with cash in a combat zone is people will steal it: An Army staff sergeant was sentenced to five years in prison for stealing $1 million from the government in a scam while she was serving in Afghanistan. Tonya Long, a 13-year Army veteran, pleaded guilty to stealing at least $1 million in cash payments meant for Afghan drivers of trucks delivering supplies to U.S. military bases in Afghanistan. America has a very low incidence of tuberculosis, but illegals are bringing in something more dangerous than sheer numbers – they’re bringing in a strain of TB that is dangerous because it is drug resistant. This, of for no other reason, is a reason to reconsider our ridiculous effort to throw open the jails of all illegals under the guise of funding. Sarah Palin made the base cheer when she took to the stage at CPAC and took a giant sip from a Big Gulp – Nanny Bloomberg wouldn’t have liked it, but the people of NYC seem not to mind that he’s doing all he can to intrude on their lives. A court struck down the large soda ban, but they might not be so lucky in the future. Cyprus woke on Saturday to an announcement by the government: everybody would be losing 10% of their private accounts in banks across the island. ATMs ran dry when there was a run on banks with people trying to take the money they saved out of institutions that would be stealing it because the Eurozone (not even their own government) said so. Could this be what we face in the future? The United Kingdom said this type of intervention raised serious issues and set a dangerous precedent.

	April 7, 2013- The second diplomat in a generation was killed in Afghanistan on Saturday in Afghanistan (the first was the U.S. Ambassador to Libya on September 11th last year – an event that has still not seen a single person brought to justice). 25-year-old Anne Smedinghoff was killed along with five other Americans when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was visiting Afghanistan. The purpose of his visit was to talk about the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2014. The biggest question is whether or not that departure should come sooner rather than later. How about we load all of our troops and weapons on planes and fly them out – followed by carpet bombing raids until Afghanistan and Pakistan’s tribal regions are reduced to dust? Our first golfer (AKA: President Obama) is said to be ‘outraged’ and ‘condemned’ the attack (oddly he issued no statement – but he did when movie critic Roger Ebert died) (what does that even mean), but John Kerry, the Secretary of State, made a statement. The death toll over the weekend in Afghanistan hit six and there is no question that violence will only escalate as the departure of United States troops grows closer – how about to save lives we stop the field trips of high ranking Americans to the ‘country’? President Obama was busy over the weekend – making the absurd case in his weekly radio address that he’s already started decreasing the deficit. Not kidding (don’t let these $1.3 trillion annual deficits fool you – Obama says he cut it by some $4 trillion. It’s not true, of course, but he said it. Obama saying that he cut the deficit (despite the fact that his budget was due in February and will only be released this week) is like his college habit of using crack (or coke or whatever it was) was a 16 nickel bag a week habit that went down to 12 and he argued to Michelle that he was clean. He’s still using crack (increasing the deficit and debt), but he’s using less so it’s not as destructive (but it’s still horrible). If this statement is not Socialism, I don’t know what is: wealthy taxpayers can currently “accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving.” What incentive to save? Should we all be wards of the State? North Korea is still in the news – first they cut the phone line connecting the North to the South, then they declared that they were back at war with the South (of course nobody fired anything, but they like to be loud) THEN they got the attention of our esteemed Secretary of Defense who decided to send a litany of assets to the Sea of Japan and surrounding areas (I thought we couldn’t afford war because of sequestration? Remember when the actual war couldn’t get a ship because of the sequester – that hadn’t kicked in yet?). Anyway – it gets worse as the North decided to announce that they might launch a missile (something they do whenever the potbellied dictator is hungry).
	March 31, 2013- Easter is being celebrated everywhere around the world (unless you consider that though Google marks Muslim holidays it failed to mark Easter and opted instead for Cesar Chavez). During Pope Francis’ first Easter Urbi et Orbi message he told the world to ‘change hatred to love’ and had other lofty goals. This followed the pontiff’s break with tradition by washing the feet of prisoners, including women and Muslims, in the days leading up to the holiest day on the Christian calendar. The Obama’s attended Easter Services at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington. Looks like Obama found his new racist, leftist preacher to replace Rev. Jeremiah Wright as the preacher from St. John’s railed against what he called ‘captains of the religious right’ – even saying that the religious right want ‘blacks in the back of the bus’ and women in the kitchen. You’ve got to wonder about the judgment of our president’s religious picks (they’re almost as bad as his Cabinet picks). Since today is all about theChristian belief that Jesus rose from the dead after being executed, it’s important to point out the story of a professor in Florida who asked students to write the name Jesus on a piece of paper and stomp on it. The professor is on administrative leave after national media picked up the story. Why is he teaching and what would have happened if Allah was on the paper instead of Jesus? Watching the first family head to church today brings up the question of travel expenses: just yesterday there were reports being filed about Obama’s kids being on a ski vacation in Colorado (Spring Break II?); this came right after returning from the Bahamas. Now we see they flew back to D.C. to spend Easter with their parents and they’re heading out on another vacation this week. How much of our tax dollars do we owe these kids and their family? And let’s not forget about the Biden family (who could never afford the myriad of vacations he’s been on the last few years if he had to pay for them), but he’s on his third since the beginning of the year! How about we force public servants to pay for their own vacations? Biden’s third vacation comes right after we learned the obscene costs of sending him to Paris and London. You may not remember the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, but he’s still on trial for killing and wounding troops in the name of Allah. Legislation making its way through Congress would give the Purple Heart to those killed or wounded that day – DoD says not to do it. Why? You won’t believe it. As we head into April a lot of people are thinking about what they are going to owe Uncle Sam (and Jerry Brown) – I know I am – and turns out Mark Zuckerberg is going to think about it too – much more than me, but to the tune of $1 BILLION! Being in the bracket where government takes HALF of what you earn is insane – sadly, too many of us find ourselves there and there are millions getting ‘refunds’ that earned nothing. The United States is sending billions of dollars in aid money to Egypt and now we’re learning more what that regime is capable of. Bassem Youssef (Egypt’s Jon Stewart) was arrested after he insulted Egypts Muslim Brotherhood president and ‘insulted Islam’ – he can get the death penalty. So much for the Arab Spring that Obama talked about. He is out on bail.

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. by: Ann Coulter
	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. by: George W. Bush
	The Greatest U.S. Marine Corps Stories Ever Told: Unforgettable Stories of Courage, Honor, and Sacrifice On Friday, November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress approved a resolution for the organization of the Corps, creating what would become the hallowed few, the proud--the Marines. Since then, the men and women of the United States Marine Corps have created the finest traditions of service and honor, and supplied a pantheon of heroes who have upheld them. by: Iain Martin
	The Obama Diaries The envelope contained copies of what appeared to be diary entries written by President Barack Obama, his family, and high-ranking administration officials.

	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. by: Ed Klein
	The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream Want to know about Barack Obama in his own words? This is a re-print in paperback of his first book (not to be confused with the moderate looking read you get from his most recent literary endeavor). Ignore the stuff about him as a teenager, but really find out about the guy who has a radical preacher and poor judgment who happens to also want to be President of the United States. by Barack Obama
	Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies Fully documented responses to no fewer than 241 of the most common claims made by the Left on all the most important political, social, and cultural issues of our day by Gregg Jackson
	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. by: Bernard Goldberg

You certainly can't take a tour of it). Scandals and NSA matter, but the immigration debate matters more than anything else and any Republican that votes for this issue should do two things: FUND the MA GOP Senate candidate (Gabriel Gomez, former Navy SEAL and candidate for the U.S. Senate) - if he WINS then it could scare people into voting against amnesty.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

VETERANS: If you are in the San Diego region and would like information about veterans issues - check out the SDVC HERE
Veterans are more likely than almost any group to commit suicide. While friends are one of the best places to go for help in a crisis, if you need to talk to somebody about getting help there are people willing to listen, help, and intervene if you know a veteran in crisis. Better to call and be wrong than not to call and realize somebody you care about is lost. The Veterans Crisis line is available online and by calling 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, chat online, or send a text message to 838255 to receive confidential support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
We get a lot of calls and emails about military benefits. One of the best places to go is Military OneSource, if you need information it is a great place to start. Consider this a place to start, but never be afraid to write to ask - if we don't know the answer, we know the people who do! HERE
Veterans have a new GI Bill, it is called the Post 9-11 GI Bill, but whatever it is called it means more money to you and money faster. Hopefully the slow processing times are a thing of the past. We shall see, but give them a try and see what you EARNED and never consider a veteran's benefit a handout. I did that once and it was not the smartest thing I ever did! Post 9-11 GI Bill

Pass the Clinton Prosperity Act
By: Steve Yuhas

Republican leaders in the House are on their way to ‘compromise’ with President Obama (by giving him everything he wants) to avoid hitting the so-called fiscal cliff. Losing the presidency is not the same as losing the argument, but you would not know that based on the behavior of House Republicans.

Since Election Day, House leaders have been acting contrite when they should be acting courageous and they have been deferential to the president’s scare tactics and public blame instead of defiant. I understand House leaders are tore up about losing the presidency, but Mitt Romney losing to Barack Obama does not mean you have to give the president what he wants when you were returned to office to fight against high taxes and decreased spending.
