By: Jeff Katz – April 2013 I have heard the phrase, “words have meaning” for the better part of my life. As a small boy when I called my brother something nasty and then tried to explain that I did not really mean anything by it, my mom or dad would come along and […]
By: Christine Morabito – April 2013 Please join the Tea Party and other liberty-minded groups as we gather on the Boston Common April 13. The Parkman Bandstand will be rocking with live music from starting at noon from People’s Blowback, and then a variety of speakers from 1-3 p.m. The theme is “Unburdening the […]
By: Jeff Katz – March 2013 We all spend so much time thinking about the outside forces which are keeping us from reaching our full potential; we usually forget that we may be held down by our very own thinking. I am reminded about the manner in which some large animals, especially elephants, have been […]

By: Jeff Katz It has been nothing short of fascinating to read, watch and listen to the histrionics currently being visited upon the American people by the current occupier of the Oval Office. The end is near, the oceans will once again rise, teachers will be kicked in the shins, people will be turned into […]
By: Motivational Speaker Jeff Katz – February 2013 As a child, my Dad once shared with me that there are things you do simply because they are the right thing to do. You’re not looking for a trophy or certificate. Your soul, he said, will be made richer for having taken the right path. You’ll […]
By: Jeff Katz – January 2013 I gave up on the so-called mainstream media long ago. That’s what happens when you work inside the business. I distinctly remember one of my first exposures to the “non-existent” media bias came as the news director of a radio station I was working at announced to the newsroom […]
By: Jeff Katz – January 2013 I remember distinctly where I was as I heard about the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. I was trying to assemble some material to discuss that afternoon on WIOD Radio in Miami, Florida. I was going to talk about an outrageous rate increase for Florida […]
By: Jeff Katz 0 December, 2012 In the 1800’s French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr proclaimed “plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.” The phrase means “the more things change, the more things stay the same.” It was true when he wrote it and it is true today, as well. Anti-Semitism is once again […]
By: Jeff Katz – November, 2012 The election where the worst president in history should have been shown the door is over and the Dear Leader has actually been re-elected. By every reasonable measure Barack Obama has been an abject failure as President of the United States. Unemployment continues to rage out of control, […]
By: Jeff Katz – September 7, 2012 The initial 2012 presidential debate was the first time in his 51 years that Barack Obama was actually held accountable and he melted under the pressure. Al Gore may feel comfortable claiming that the air in Denver was too thin, but anyone watching understood that Obama was […]
By: Jeff Katz – September, 2012 Every four years our political parties hold conventions for the purpose of writing a platform and nominating a couple of folks to lead the free world. In between those functions, we get to see a bunch of balloons and really silly hats and we are entertained with any number […]
By: Jeff Katz – August, 2012 “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. For me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union, you know? God is in the mix.” With those words, Dan Cathy the Chief Operating Officer of Chick-Fil-A started a firestorm. The press declared those […]
By: Jeff Katz As I sit down to write this, it is a little more than one week since the Supreme Court of the United States handed down their decision on President Barack Obama’s “health care” law. It really is essential to place the words health care in quotes, since Obamacare has precious little to […]
