So How Does an Ebola Outbreak Benefit the Leftists Running the Country? What are the benefits of letting something like this run unchecked with no quarantines at border? Who wins if this becomes a factor in daily life in Western civ? Can we follow the money here? What good is this to leftist totalitarian fascists who run this oligarchy? Is this good for the super-rich? What about the Moslims? How does it benefit them? Trying to understand the bizarre public health choices here that seems to have been in place since Aids hit our shores. Are we trying not to...

So Hussein (Obama) Decides to Call ISIS ISIL and the Media is Unquestioningly Complicit? Ainsley Earhardt: “They changed the name in the middle of all this to ISIL. They don’t have the right to do that. We’re going to continue to call them ISIS.” Harris Faulkner: “So our president is tipping his hat to them.” Earhardt: “They changed the name…” Faulkner: “So, it’s the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Levant is a bigger territory. That’s why they want to embrace that name and it includes many, many more countries than just Syria.” Jesse Watters: “And I think the...

Was there a post about Tech companies eliminating the second beheading video from the web? Cannot find it. Help I thought I saw a post about how the second beheading of a journalist was eliminated from most American sites. As someone who strongly believes that Americans should see the atrocities that Islamics are perpertarating on others, I was stunned and wanted to follow that thread. Please if someone could provide the FR url?

After years and years of hosting Thanksgiving for friends and family, I am on my own this year. My friends are either overseas or have moved out of the area, or have moved to live near their children, and my children are scattered. I have no family. So I am on my own. I am looking for ideas for something to do on Thanksgiving, some place to go. I am considering Montreal, Asheville, etc. I live in the Northeast, and would have about 2K to spend. I am not fond of large cities, would love to do something fun, and...

http://www.wsbradio.com/news/news/we-can-stop-ebola-cdc-chief-vows/ngtDx/ So we know how to STOP Ebola. So it isn't a problem, right? Except for all the poor souls who get it before it is STOPPED. Interesting perspective, no prevention, just reacting. Same difference now between safety and security. No more safety, which is about prevention, only security which is about identifying the perp after the crime. No more safety anywhere.

What Exiting Is and Isn't Virno believes a radical disobedience is needed to challenge the state's ability to command. This cannot be expressed through resistance to a specific law on the grounds, for example, that it contradicts a constitution. Such resistance is actually a vote of confidence in the state qua state; that is, such activists fight to enable a purer vision of state authority rather than against the idea of a state itself. A wholesale rejection is required. And, yet, revolutionaries who violently confront the state usually suffer one of two fates: they are slaughtered or otherwise broken or...

Today I had a doctor's appointment. My doctor has always been on the leftist side of the tent. He was out there on how much he supports amnesty and what is happening on the border. He pointed out that this year there is a big different in the way the circus is being set up across from his offices. Many more “hardworking brown people” who are sending money home. No more of the toothless white meth-head addicts who try to break into his office every year. Better workers all round. He was smiling. So I asked him, why are you...

http://www.trunews.com/thursday-july-10-2014-ret-sgt-major-dan-page/ Interesting video about future of the United States Opinion?

I am for immigration reform because I am against allowing 12 million more illegal immigrants into our country. If we do nothing, 12 million more illegal immigrants will come. We must be in favor of reform—smart reform that starts with border security. Characterizing that position as "amnesty" is simply untrue. What we have now is a lawless border. Current policy is a beacon for more illegal immigrants. The Obama administration’s lawless executive orders legalizing people who came here illegally will only encourage more illegal immigration—unless we act now with real, strong, verifiable border security.

As many as 227 million Americans may be compelled to disclose intimate details of their families and financial lives -- including their Social Security numbers -- in a new national database being assembled by two federal agencies. The Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau posted an April 16 Federal Register notice of an expansion of their joint National Mortgage Database Program to include personally identifiable information that reveals actual users, a reversal of previously stated policy.

So Why is Mark Steyn No Longer at National Review? I didn't even find him in the contributing editors section. I do go to www.steynonline.com but reading Steyn was a good 40% of why I subscribe to NR.

Time for a new laptop. The Sony Vaio is getting tired. Am looking for a reasonably priced laptop with some power to it. It is a desktop replacement so it cannot be one of those sissy teenyweenies. Currently have a 4gb ram, 2.20ghrtz 64 bit system running my beloved Windows 7 with word and outlook 2003. Looking for something as big, perhaps a little lighter and certainly faster, that has a disc drive, and ports for my trackball. I refuse to consider Dell. Yes I know, Applehead, they are wonderful but no thanks. Any recommendations?

Need headphones for my Tv. Ones that I can adjust at my ears. I am fine with ones with wire and jack. Someone recommended AudioTechnica. I cannot see any volume control. I need them because sometimes words are garbled. And I don't want to make noise after 6 pm. There is no noise to block, so that wont be an issue. They will plug into my black box with dials on the front that runs the speakers, Receiver?? perhaps is what it is called. Onkyo. So does anyone here use headphones for television?

Leftists like to control the vocabulary and the discourse. Leftists have decided to amputate the word Clinton from the name of Hillary Clinton, wife of Bill Clinton, our former president. No self-respecting conservative should EVER use the name Hillary without the mandatory last name, Clinton. She carries all the baggage that the name Hillary Clinton provides. Do not be manipulated by leftists, use her whole name. If headline space is an issue I recommend: Mrs. Clinton.
