Did John McCain say he was retiring?



Since earning my degree in medicine in 1996, I’ve spent my life healing the sick in private practice and in the ER. While serving as a State Senator, I continue to practice medicine in emergency departments in Lake Havasu City and Kingman.

It has been my life’s honor to represent the people of Arizona’s Fifth Legislative District as their senator.

I understand and truly appreciate the trust and support they have given me to do what is right. But when I look at what’s happening in our federal government, I know Arizonans need new representation in the U.S. Senate and that’s why I’m running.
“Arizonans are looking for a change after thirty years, and they are looking for someone who will represent them and their interests. They are looking for someone to be their voice, and I believe I can be that person.” – Kelli
Failures of leadership have led to the problems we face in our state and our country: open borders, over 90 million Americans out of work, lost insurance and skyrocketing costs under ObamaCare, and a federal budget that only goes up.

It’s time to change that.

GOP presidential race - the more the merrier

From the files of Jeff Crouere at Ringside Politics on WLAE-TV 32 in New Orleans


This was a busy week in the GOP presidential sweepstakes as two candidates jumped into the race ~ U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and former Texas Governor Rick Perry. Currently, there are ten announced candidates running for the Republican presidential nomination and the number will surely grow.

In the coming days, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush will officially announce his presidential bid. Soon thereafter, a host of others including Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will enter the fray.

In the end, there could be 16 or more Republican presidential candidates. The candidates can be grouped in many different ways. For example, some like former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will emphasize social issues. Others like Perry and Graham will emphasize national security and U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky will focus on protecting liberties guaranteed by our Bill of Rights. 

However, there is another way to group the candidates: conservative or RINO (Republican in Name Only). Clearly, Bush will be the leading RINO, but it is unclear who assume the mantle as the top conservative contender.

Due to the plethora of conservative candidates, some commentators are lamenting our embarrassment of riches. They are calling for conservatives to unite behind one candidate who can defeat Bush. However, it is far too early for any consolidation among the candidates.

Voters need to see the candidates in action, witness them in a debate setting and learn where they stand on the major issues. In essence, the Republican race is an example of a political free market as voters will be given a wide variety of choices and allowed to choose the best candidate.

The decision should rest with the voters, not a kingmaker or a news network. It is critical for all of the news networks to expand their televised debates to include all of the major candidates, not just the “top ten.” This is not college football, it is the future of the nation which is being determined and limiting the field of candidates is not only premature, but it can adversely impact the decision making ability of voters.

The networks are supposedly going to decide the “top ten” based on an average of early polls, but these flawed surveys are too influenced by name recognition. Giving voters exposure to a larger field of candidates is an essential public service, especially at this critical time when the nation is clearly in jeopardy.

This election will be the most important one in our lifetime as the next President must repair the damage done by Barack Obama to our nation’s economy, our national security and our social fabric, namely race relations.

With such important stakes, it is worth the time and effort for the networks to expand their format. If given accurate information about the candidates, Republican voters can make a positive change by nominating a true conservative in 2016.

The debates will be the best way to gauge the candidates, so the news networks should not artificially limit the debates to just ten candidates. Voters need accurate and detailed information about all the major candidates to make the best selection.

At such a critical time for our nation, Republicans are fortunate to have such a varied selection of candidates, the largest field in the party’s history. Obviously, GOP voters need to select the right candidate, so it is desirable to have many options to consider, in fact, the more the merrier.

Unfortunately, a conservative agenda will be impossible if GOP voters nominate another RINO who will lose in the General Election.

Only a conservative can defeat Hillary Clinton, spare the nation a de-facto third Obama term and begin to reverse the damage of the Obama years.

Right and left hysteria over Ted Cruz

From the web files of Lloyd Marcus - the Unhyphenated American Patriot

Meet Senator Ted Cruz - Candidate for U.S. President
Wow! Can you believe how Ted Cruz is catching it from both sides in response to his powerful speech announcing his quest to win the White House in 2016? As expected, the Left is doing their typical thing calling Cruz extreme, stupid and crazy. Conservatives are taking shots at Cruz because he has not mastered walking on water.

Folks, this is what you get when you have the cojones to take a bold stand for liberty and conservatism. The hysteria, outrage, slings and arrows coming from both sides of the political aisle targeted at Cruz is what a true conservative must be willing to endure.

For crying out loud, Cruz simply trumpeted traditional principles and values that Americans have celebrated since the Republic's founding; American Exceptionalism, liberty, freedom, hard work, God and country.

The problem is without even realizing it, many have succumb to the Left successfully tainting their thinking, lowering the nation's behavioral bar and forcing political correctness down our throats. So when a Ted Cruz comes along, his message sounds edgy to those hearing it for the first time. And yet, I believe many will be instinctively drawn to it.

Why? Because conservatism connects with our higher self/spirit. It inspires people to be the best they can be. That is what attracted me to conservatism.

Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice....and follow me.” Without a miracle, conservatism will not resonate with lazy deadbeats filled with class envy and hatred for achievers. It is a foreign language to them. All they care about is handouts and a free ride. Let the Democrats continue pandering to them; the chickens and turtles.

Let's take the higher ground, striving to attract eagles which I believe are a majority of the American people. This is why the Left is so terrified of Cruz, he knows how to spread the good news of conservatism.

Folks, we must stop Obama's quest to diminish who we are, reducing us to a nation of part-time workers, dependent and subservient to big government. In the name of our founding fathers, we are Americans! Let's act like it!

Both sides going nuts over Cruz's bold, upbeat and inspiring articulation of conservatism illustrates what we are up against. Even conservatives are saying Cruz is too this or not enough that.

Some conservatives feel Cruz so boldly preaching conservatism on the big stage is a little embarrassing and scary, careful not to be seen standing too close to him by the MSM. When asked, “Didn't we see you with Ted Cruz?” They reply, “Hell no, I never knew him!”

It has stuck in my craw for quite a while the way the Left has gotten away with pushing us around, bullying us into silence and tolerating every abhorrent behavior and religion under the sun. Meanwhile, when Ted Cruz dares to stand up for righteousness, Christianity, God and country the Left goes shock and awe ballistic on him.

Wimp-i-fied conservatives and political know-it-alls suggest that Cruz dial it back a bit; make himself more palatable to “mainstream” voters. Others say Cruz does not have a snowball's chance of becoming the GOP nominee let alone winning the White House. I believe they are wrong. As I stated, like the gospel, conservatism is good news. My advice to Cruz is preach it brother, preach it!

I do not know about you guys, but I am done with moderate Republican clone presidential nominees like McCain, Romney, Jeb Bush and Christie.

If I go down in defeat, I want to go down inspiring my fellow Americans to come up higher; fighting my butt off for liberty and freedom behind the likes of a Ted Cruz.

Passionate About Conservatism

Passionate About Conservatism from Warning Signs by Alan Caruba at Facts-not-Fantasy

The Chicks Book is Also Available on Amazon

We conservatives tend to be rather low key when it comes to expressing our commitment to conservative values. We are all about the Constitution, small government, a strong military, and fiscal prudence, but these are not things that are easy to talk about in a passionate way, no matter how strongly we feel about them.

As a longtime—try fifty-plus years—book reviewer, I get lots of them and recently “Right for a Reason: Life, Liberty, and a Crapload of Common Sense” by “the Chicks on the Right”, Miriam Waver and Amy Jo Clark arrived ($26.95, Penguin Group).

The “Chicks” started a website in 2009 that quickly gained a large audience of people who love their approach to conservatism and their interpretation of the events of the day, issues, and personalities. Need it be said it also attracted all manner of rude, nasty responses from liberals?

“If you’re reading this right now”, they say in the introduction, “chances are you’re a frustrated conservative. And you’ve got good reason to be frustrated. If you’re like us, you’re practically dizzy from how often you’ve shaken your head at the stupidity of low-information voters who couldn’t pick Nancy Pelosi out of a photo lineup, but can rattle off the names of every single member of the Kardashion clan.”

“Maybe you’re frustrated that conservatives haven’t been able to effectively communicate their ideas in a way that resonates with the public. Maybe you’re frustrated that the mainstream media has been complicit in glamorizing the liberal narrative.” Well, yes, I have felt this way, but I am also aware that the Internet has provided those with the nation’s political life with scads of information on many excellent websites.

Then, too, Rush Limbaugh has been a major voice on radio with a huge audience as is Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and others. By far the most popular shows devoted to the issues are conservative while liberals attract so few listeners and viewers you wonder why there are still so many liberals.

One need only compare the Fox News Channel with MSNBC to know the appeal of conservatism and, yes, a conservative interpretation of the news--accurate facts!

In the lead up to the November 4 midterm elections, something remarkable is happening. There are stories noting that Obama has lost the support of a significant number of women and among black Americans. Even the mainstream press has taken note of this and it suggests that, despite our frustrations, maybe our message is having an impact.

Or, maybe, these two groups, after six years of Mr. Hope and Change, have decided independently that his policies have not helped them in any way other than turn them into people dependent on the government instead of being able to support themselves and their families.

As the “Chicks” point out, “Despite what the mainstream media wants you to believe, there are thousands and thousands of people out there who are just like us.” Yes! That is the answer. I recall when Ronald Reagan so encouraged and inspired them that a large segment became known as Reagan Democrats. But that was then and this is now.

“Right for a Reason” will, I believe, appeal a tad more to women readers, though men will enjoy their straight-forward analysis and the humor with which they infuse a book that is passionate about conservatism.

I think, too, that this book will appeal to younger readers, the Millennials, because it addresses the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives. “While liberals cling like tree sloths to promise of everything being provided to them by the government, conservatives cling to the notion of self-sufficiency.” And conservatives don’t think you’re greedy if you want to make a good living and more money than someone who is not willing to work as hard as you.

That’s why conservatives were so annoyed when President Obama said, regarding anyone who is successful, “If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” 

There isn’t a single man or woman who has put hours into their business that did not instantly take offense, but Obama was also revealing his deeply socialistic point of view that it is the “collective” that gets things done, not individuals. Wrong! In the earliest days of the nation, roads, bridges, and canals were built to facilitate business.

A huge railroad system was built both to make money and to make it easier for people to travel to the west coast to create businesses or sell to those who were already there, and vice versa.

America is all about capitalism and that explains why it became the world’s superpower in the wake of World War II. In the process it saved Europe from communism and entered into 46 years of a Cold War with the then-Soviet Union. Even so, Europe has long since embraced socialism.

To a great degree, so has America with is vast plethora of “entitlement” programs that were introduced as “a safety net”, but are now so integrated into the life of the nation that millions use them to avoid work because one can often receive more from the government than a job would provide!

As the “Chicks” put it, “There is a time and a place for welfare. We believe in safety nets. We believe in helping people. We believe that the weakest among us and the people down on their luck should get assistance."

It’s refreshing to read a book that is passionate about conservatism. We all need to be.

Join Stand Up America - Major General Vallely


Join Stand Up America and Help Major General Vallely from the files of Major General Paul E. Vallely (Retired U.S. Army)

Click Here to Visit/Join Stand Up America U.S.


Meet Major General Paul E. Vallely
To all my friends, supporters and all who are Americans First,

We truly stand in dark times. As our way of life has been ‘fundamentally changed’ for the worse by the forces of the Progressives, the Socialists, the elites, the entrenched power brokers, the main stream media, and the supporters of our enemies. I cannot stand by idly nor should you.

November’s Vote is critical to reverse national suicide under Obama. Encourage strongly to all your friends, young and old, to Vote.

We must take back our nation; re-establish the Republic and our way of life. We must re-double our efforts now in 2014 and 2015, to ensure success on the long road back to the ideals our forefathers laid before us.

We must peer into our souls and find the strength to be Americans first once again, to shun the mechanisms of power and party, and to choose leaders who act first as Americans, as Statesmen.

We must cast aside those who lead only for personal gain, power, and party.

Please join me today and support our efforts at Stand Up America (founded in 2005 because we were witnessing the accelerating decline of America; the dismantling of our Constitution, and the destruction of the very fabric of our society).

Our mission has been to educate and inform Americans and others to uncover and expose wrong doing and focus on the ‘Realities of the world and help right our ship of state based upon constitutional conservatism. To do this, I need your help. We have been out-gunned, out-spent, out-organized, overwhelmed, and over-run. We have been told who are candidates are to be – no more. Here in 2014, we can begin to stem the tide.

We must make them pay for their actions at the ballot box starting in the many primaries and soon in November. We must focus on all levels, in our neighborhoods, in our town halls, in our county and statehouses, in the halls of Congress, and beyond.

We must win at home and then come to the aid of our neighbors in other states and localities across the nation, as one great tide, as America first!

Since Obama was first elected, our diplomatic and military influence, power, reputation, and morale has been in steep decline and evil minds are taking advantage at home, and across the globe. Vladimir Putin is pushing Obama around like a school yard bully. North Korea threatens to launch more missiles and test more bombs.

China is challenging everyone in the Pacific over islands, international shipping lanes, and its economy will pass our own as the world’s greatest this year. And yes, Al Qaeda and ISIS are alive and well as they and the Muslim Brotherhood march across the world in their global Caliphate efforts.

In the Middle East, Syria is a continuous blood bath, Palestinian/Israeli peace efforts have flat-lined, and Iran grows bolder by the hour. In Africa, Ebola and al Qaeda grow. Our National Security team continues to show its ineptness and amateurism across the spectrum of our government. Our Federal government is broken and unable to correct itself. Congress and the Courts are negligent as well in the decline of American prestige and respect.

We know you stole America’s heart through your subterfuge, cover-ups, weaponization of our agencies, and lies, lies, and more lies in previous elections, now we must expose them for the enemies of the state that they are. At home, confidence and trust in our government are now at an all-time low, further undermining our system to the core.

With so many scandals now under investigation, the people cannot rely on equal treatment under the law and the specter of tyranny is now more evident than ever. Obama has ‘weaponized’ our Federal Government, and his minions escape without accountability.

No one will ever trust the IRS, the NSA, the VA, or HHS again to name but a few. ObamaCare is now in force for some, but others enjoy a respite due to favoritism. Few are pleased or have better, less-expensive health care insurance, and for most, the health care itself is no longer available at levels once taken for granted. Winners and losers are being chosen daily, and those without money, power, and influence are left by the wayside.

The “Liar of the Year” in 2013 is proving that he will easily achieve the same dubious distinction in 2014 and beyond. This year it’s the infamous line when being interviewed by Bill O’Reilly: “Not even mass corruption — not even a smidgen of corruption.” Of course, recent emails from the IRS have proven that as another lie, and he knew it.

With your help, SUA can continue to help expose this tragic and blatant undermining of our military, our governmental system, our world standing and reputation, and our nation’s fabric and ethics. We have much in store for the rest of 2014, and we will cast a laser beam on their anti-American practices. Our military families need for your help, all of America needs your help!

Additionally SUA has added significant resources to ensure we stay at the cutting edge of intelligence gathering and analysis, both at home and abroad, and we plan to add further quality components to our web site to help keep you informed. This has been financially taxing but it has added great value as SUA continues to influence lawmakers and policy makers.

We are thankful for the support we have received from so many generous sources over the years, both in funding and volunteerism, but sadly, our job is far from over and we have much more to do. Please join me today.

PLEASE HELP Stand Up America US expose and stop these insidious deeds and our precipitous decline as a nation. Thank you again for your support – please make a donation today at www.standupamericaus.org.

All my best We will not let you down!
