V.A. administrator Eric Shinseki resigned this weekend under severe pressure from everyone who wants a broken Veterans Affairs department to get fixed. The problem is this–changing the cast of characters won’t repair a systemically flawed system. The V.A. works on

Our Veterans. We ask them to put on the uniform. We ask them to take up arms. And we ask them to protect us–and sacrifice their time, their safety and in so many cases, their lives–to keep us safe. Is

I won’t defend Los Angeles Clippers’ owner, Donald Sterling, for his racial attitudes and beliefs. But I will defend his right to hold them. One’s thoughts are his own private property. And until a jack-booted squad of Thought Police kick in your door

NOTE: This article was written a day before the horrific shooting attack on the D.C. Naval base. My heart and prayers go out to the families of the fallen. That said, lawmakers need to rethink this whole “Gun-Free Zone” business.

With the sweet, reverent chords of Memorial Day still lingering I was shocked by the recent revelations that the Veterans Administration, under the leadership of President Barack Obama is so backlogged, that over 600,000 veterans, many wounded and disabled, are

A few months ago I received news that a friend of mine, a former Navy SEAL and war veteran, had lost his battle with depression and killed himself. I felt shocked, then devastated. Which gave way to guilt–the “why didn’t

Count me as one of the millions of ardent fans of “Downton Abbey.” Light years beyond a drawing room soap opera, this finely lensed and brilliantly written and acted drama fashions such a rich tapestry of human interaction as to

On Dec. 21, it was announced that former Marine Sgt. Jon Hammar was going to be released by Mexican authorities who had been holding the Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran on trumped up ‘gun-running’ charges for nearly 2 months, chained

Below is the third part of an interview series with “Wiseguy” actor Ken Wahl … Gary Graham: I’ve heard said that the Liberals have taken over the Media, the Hollywood community, and Academia. Ken Wahl: Absolutely. What’s left …? Graham: Talk

Note: With the recent spate of shootings with young people, it is timely that Ken Wahl and I happened to be talking about youth, self-respect and parental discipline. These conversations were conducted a week prior to the Connecticut school shooting.

NOTE — In the horrid aftermath of the Connecticut elementary school shooting, my talk with actor Ken Wahl (“Wiseguy,” “The Wanderers”) seems all the more poignant to me. We discuss Ken’s upbringing, how he learned his work ethic and how

Diversion, distraction, smoke-screen obfuscation … one thing you can say about our newly re-elected President, he has more moves than an NFL open-field running back. Some scandal rears its ugly head, and bada-boom they launch flack and flares to divert

The dazzling, urbanite Barack Obama experiment is back in the saddle for four more. Four more what? Four more years of the dismantling of America. Faith in my country is at an all-time low because I see Obama’s re-election as

For as long as I can remember Liberals in Hollywood had their run of the place. On any set, at any awards show, inside any casting office, at any industry mixer … the loud voices always leaned left. But things

Recently the entire Muslim world exploded in rage and riot, supposedly inflamed by a low-budget spoof of Islam called “The Innocence of Muslims.” In a coordinated attack, a large group of terrorists killed four American personnel including the U.S. Anbassador,

Say goodbye now, before it gets too obvious. But don’t let them know you’re saying goodbye. Just invite them out to lunch or over for a barbecue. Or meet for coffee … just casual … no big deal. Nobody need

A comedy about an inept Vice President. I thought, wow – that could be funny. I’ll bet it’s about Joe Biden, as much time as his foot has been in his mouth these past three years. But then I tuned

An old TV show called “Perry Mason” set the tone. A taut three-act play which culminated each week with justice prevailing as the real guilty party to a crime (invariably murder), confessed tearfully on the stand during an incisive cross-exam

Nothing is free. You pay a price for everything. Anything of value is worth working for. These are the values my father tried to beat into my thick skull…with varying degrees of success. Once, still in high school, I approached

Ed. Note: This post was supposed to include a new Gray Graham song but unfortunately editorial (that would be me) screwed up and it didn’t. Good news? We will have more Graham-goodness later in week WITH the tune. My apologies

The Left is so fond of exhorting their opponents to ‘compromise’. The trouble is, the Left each year moves further and further to the left – pulling that center-point of compromise further and further left. Compromise with totalitarian ideals smacks
