The “Emperor” has no Clothes! Dr. Jim Gschwind The Despondent Correspondent A wild and crazy night? Who would’ve guessed the Master manipulator and our “ruler” (according to Valerie Jared) would fold at such a crucial time to hold on to power? Finally we see “fearless leader” without his royal attire stumbling like a high school debater on his first competition. Part of | Read More »
FEARLESS LEADER? The Despondent Correspondent Dr. Jim Gschwind Remember “Fearless Leader” from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon? (Yes I know I just dated myself or I could say I couldn’t avoid watching it because my kids were watching it like most of you would argue). We have “fearless Leader” today of course and we could substitute “Boris” as our Vice President and | Read More »
Global Warming News? To Whom? The Despondent Correspondent Dr. Jim Gschwind I’ll make this short and sweet. The same quasi-scientists who warned us of an ice age in the 70s keep trying to make things “fit” their scheme of things. Only because political correctness, grants and offers of big money dictate that they do so. I’ve been saying for at least two years | Read More »
What Have we done!!! WAKE UP! Dr Jim Gschwind The Despondent Correspondent I’m not going to try to politicize a tragedy. The ambassador was a good man with good intentions and his loss is a great one as well as his aids that were gunned down. But we should take note that here was a good and well intentioned man who gave all for not | Read More »
DNC Almost Godless in Charlotte?……TV off anyone? Dr. Jim Gschwind The Despondent Correspondent Like many good decent individuals I came away from the TV experience called the Democratic National Convention with turning the TV off so hard it almost broke, before I went outside and wanted to scream to vent. Historians tell us that our first constitutional convention contained the most extraordinary | Read More »
Too Bad we weren’t GREEN in the Fifties! Yes we ruined it for You…? Dr. Jim Gschwind The Despondent Correspondent Not going anywhere….took me 15 minutes to prepare, tied the garbage cans to the telephone pole tied the deck umbrella down and collected small deck table items into a box and put it in storage. Got so much done today, but had to | Read More »
GENTLEMEN!!!! Shut your traps!! Jim Gschwind PHD The Despondent Correspondent Thank you Todd Aiken!! Thanks for giving the Democrats a chance to keep Harry Reid as Senate Majority leader so we can have four more years of grid-lock and no budget even if the Romney/Ryan change ticket takes the White House and conservatives looking to return to our basic roots take the majority | Read More »
THE TICKET!…A Win for Tea-Party and America! Dr. Jim Gschwind The Despondent Correspondent Well the news is settling in and at least Mitt picked someone who actually thinks and is pragmatic about problem solving….not to mention being “brave” just because he tells people “the way it really is”. And being from Wisconsin I’m sure the mentor of the “progressive” movement the late Senator | Read More »
GROUP-THINK and POLITICS Dr. Jim Gschwind The Despondent Correspondent We conservatives (actually I consider myself more of a tea-party libertarian) get called a lot of names, but whooo unto us if we should actually call our political opposites anything other than “brother”. I am exaggerating here of course to make my point. I have many friends who are liberal and in fact I’m at | Read More »
DISCLAIMER on previous posting. Dr. Jim Gschwind The Despondent Corresponde For those of you who were offended by my what libs think post: Understand what your parents told you many years ago…”you are known by those you hang around with”……so if you believe in God, understand that while it is a “broad” generalization (which means there is a MINORITY that don’t think that way…..you are | Read More »
What and Why Libs Think? Dr. Jim Gschwind The Despondent Correspondent It is very frustrating for conservatives to talk or reason with liberals and I hear this all the time from fellow conservatives. What is this and what makes liberals so frustrating for conservatives? There is an easy answer. Liberals ignore facts when those facts dispute things they “emotionally” feel. Liberals first | Read More »
Tragedy and Sadness. Then…Start Your Engines!! Jim Gschwind PHD The Despondent Correspondent I must admit both sides (except the usual anti 2nd Amendment crowd diatribes), comported themselves gentlemanly both announcing suspension of their campaigns respecting the Colorado tragic shooting victims and their families. I too am shocked. According to scientists who have been studying the human brain however, 3% of us have the brain | Read More »
Lies, Apathy and More Lies! But does anyone care? Jim Gschwind, PHD The Despondent Correspondent On this anniversary of my best friend and love’s passing it is only fitting that I continue my pledge to bring back the America her and I knew as children. She was as distressed as I was and for good reason. For that purpose I shall push the | Read More »
Breaks over……The Final Round? The Despondent Correspondent Jim Gschwind, PHD Sorry for the “break”, but I knew things would work themselves out with my dear readers and the political scene and I was right. Plus, I deserved the time to take care of my failing frail ex-airborne body and enjoy time with my family prior to what I perceive as our conservative “final round”. | Read More »
What’s life and Politics? Jim Gschwind PHD The Despondent Correspondent Now that the battle has been enjoined between our Republican Candidate Mitt Romney and fearless Leader Barack Hussein Obama, perhaps we should take time to reflect on what this election means to you and I and our grandchildren and those we love. Sometimes we have to take a step backward and try to | Read More »
This Is OUR MOMENT in History Don’t let it Pass us by Jim Gschwind PHD The Despondent Correspondent What a roller coaster! One minute you are on top of the world and the next you are down and depressed. We forget that ALL organizations or collections of people for common goals have had problems. Take the actual beginnings of the Catholic Church for | Read More »
Not so Fast Folks!! It was only a “battle”! The FIGHT has only begun!! Jim Gschwind PHD The Despondent Correspondent Alright, now that all the “whooping” and “cheering” dies down on the Wisconsin vote against the recall of their bold governor, keep in mind that with all that exuberance you are showing right now, it can soon morph into malaise and apathy just before | Read More »

Back OFF of Ted Nugent Fed Bullies!!! Jim Gschwind PHD The Despondent Correspondent It is really hard to believe that with all the scandal involving the Secret Service that they actually have the gaul to waste their time harassing a real American hero like Ted Nugent. My guess is they thought they needed some decent headlines and it backfired on them. Perhaps Ted’s “Kill it | Read More »
Cut the BS….B.O. Jim Gschwind PHD The Despondent Correspondent This IS NOT one of my “tamer” pieces so cover your tender ears, libs, progressives and yes…Marxists and fellow travelers. Yes, I know this sounds a little disrespectful….but in my defense I’ve said many times a person must first “earn” my respect….and I don’t…. and in fact think the incumbent in the White House | Read More »
What now Tea party? And Republicans? Jim Gschwind PHD The Despondent Correspondent This week I’m going to seem a little “tame” for some people’s tastes. But enough ranting and raving about His Highness Barack Hussein Obama and his lack of leadership. I know that behavior traits and especially leadership was my doctoral major and he just gives me soooo much material to work with, | Read More »
Bureaucracy, Politics and a Campaign Year The Despondent Correspondent Jim Gschwind, PHD Yes, unfortunately, campaign time which means more spending by our bureaucracy with the earmarks given to it by various politicians in order to “buy votes” and bring home that bacon. Why would we wonder why GSA of all agencies has misused its power? Why the VA is such a popular | Read More »
Divide and Conquer….the “NEW” USSR Jim Gschwind, PHD “The Despondent Correspondent” Now you are asking yourself immediately; “what does he mean by the NEW USSR”? It stands for the “United States Socialist Republic”. That’s where we are heading unfortunately and it has all the earmarks of a non-violent (at least for now) Marxist coup d’état right here at home. We don’t notice it as much | Read More »
Yes, it is a “global problem” and yes even though Russia can and has in the past been “energy independent” they still would rather buy off the “spot” market (which is higher priced oil) rather than futures, just as Japan, China, India and Indonesia do right now. The Arab oil embargo worked back in our day ONLY because OPEC was more united and fewer states | Read More »
Reply to Global Warming Crazies….. Jim Gschwind, PHD The Despondent Correspondent I’m sick and tired of this, as a scientist I continually say “we are a carbon based species on a carbon based planet and we NEED it to survive”. CO2 is needed in soil to start plant growth. The dinosaurs flourished with 15% CO2 in atmosphere and so did the plants they ate. Dead | Read More »
