The First Five Debbie takes up the case for #NeverHillary; it is compelling and is far more serious than anything the #NeverTrump crowd is talking about. “Congenital liar” Hillary is showing her character again, with her IT assistant Brian Pagiliano now denying the existence of any emails between the two during...
The First Five Debbie takes up the reality of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump. Person, party and principles: where will Americans turn now? This GOP campaign has been so disturbing…an analogy to Ty Cobb and the repetition of lies is instructive. Donald Trump is a dangerous ‘person’ to latch onto; principles...
The First Five Debbie takes a look at just how revealing John Boehner’s recent comments about Ted Cruz (referring to him as Lucifer) really are. Boehner has never worked with Cruz; he only knows that Cruz did as he promised his constituents he would do—he acted to stop Obama’s agenda. And...
The First Five Debbie takes a look at Earth Day—it’s origin, history, positives and negatives. When it started in 1970, the ‘scientific’ ‘experts’ made predictions that have proven to be not only wrong, but ridiculously wrong. There’s a mindset behind radical environmentalism that is truly not about preserving clean air...
The Opening Segment Debbie turns first to the Colorado delegate kerfuffle; these baseless accusations hurt the political process—and that’s true whether you support Donald Trump or Ted Cruz (or any other candidate). The ‘raddled’ state of delegate selection gets a little more attention. America is not and was never intended to be...

The recent play called “Ferguson” uses unedited grand jury transcripts to bring to light exactly what the witnesses to the Michael Brown shooting said to the grand...
The First Fifteen Debbie speaks up about the need to recognize the unappeasable nature of the left in America. Examples ought to make it clear for anyone paying attention. Yet another bed & breakfast (this time in Illinois) is ordered to pay damages and attorney’s fees to a same sex couple, and...
First Fifteen Today is Easter Sunday, an appropriate time to dig in to the substance of America’s challenge with Islam. Debbie reviews important commentary from former US Attorney Andy McCarthy and moderate Muslim activist Dr. Zuhdi Jasser about the critical distinction between the teachings of Islam and individual people who identify...
First Fifteen Debbie takes on the subjects of trade, tax policy, and job growth. Americans need to understand that manufacturing jobs can disappear without regard to government policy. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge was a tremendous advance for everyone in that area—except the steamboat industry. Steamboat jobs were lost forever once the...
First Fifteen Debbie reviews the three groups now opposing Donald Trump: the hard left (such as moveon.org’s “Black Lives Matter”), the Republican establishment and ‘movement’ conservatives. It is the movement conservatives who have the most principled concern about what Trump actually stands for. Congressman Jeb Hensarling calls in to talk about he...
