My fellow Americans: It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. Times that try men’s souls; therefore, ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country, because I have a dream! I’m not sure what magic words President Obama could use to turn [...]

It’s a great day for conservatives! I’ll tell you why. Now this is something you won’t see every day, but on Thursday, July 16, 2009, 22 freshman Democratic members of the House of Representatives signed a letter opposing their leadership’s proposal to raise taxes to finance the health care makeover.  They actually agreed that this [...]

Let’s pretend you have nothing to do (which is often the case when you are on the computer). Why not watch a movie? Now you may not want to go out to see some movie at the theater, and thinking up a classic might be too taxing and/or time-consuming. Well, since we here at Rhombus [...]

As you’ve most likely heard, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has confessed his extramarital affair to the world, thus ruining both his public image and his hopes for the 2012 presidential race. On top of that, Republicans are still recovering from Nevada [...]

Before you look to see if I have abdicated my column to a more liberal author, hold on. It’s still me, Jess Jones, that conservative nut job. During the years of President George W. Bush’s presidency, Republicans whined, wailed and gnashed their teeth over all the negative press that he received from the “left wing [...]

With the Fourth of July approaching this weekend, I would be shirking my sacred duty as a conservative if I didn’t take the time to make my own personal Pledge of Allegiance to the United States. In spite of all the conflicts, scandals, controversies and debates that have haunted our nightly news programs and literally [...]

We here at Rhombus would like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest contributor, Jess Jones.
