    1. Rush Limbaugh - Great Political Insight!

    2. Mark Levin - Great Constitutional Intellect and takes no nonsense from the morons on the left! I love that about Mark!

    3. Shaun Hannity - Good Guy, but is too nice to the left. A bit squishy.

    4. Glenn Beck - Don't listen to him much anymore after the Ranch thing and giving comfort to the Illegal's coming across our border. But he should be given a LOT of credit for education people on the evils of George Soros and for dissecting the web of leftist organizations to the general public (taught me a lot) and people like Sun Castine and Samantha Powers etc.

  • White House Faults G.O.P. Senators’ Letter to Iran’s Leaders

    "Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said the senators were trying to “essentially throw sand in the gears here” in a way that went beyond the role envisioned for Congress in foreign policy by the authors of the Constitution."

    I don't even want to hear this Regime talk about what was meant by the authors of the Constitution after the way they've shredded it thus far!

    Now, if This Regime wishes to Finally start Adhering to the Constitution, then we can talk!

    I'm also very surprised and happy that they (47 R - Senators) wrote this letter.

    What's the excuse for the 7 Senators that did not sign it? Bunch of RINOS!

    "Some are saying Walker and Cruz should just run on the same ticket.............that would probably make ‘em crap their collective panties. lol"

    LOL...I really think you're right. I would love to see them run as Cruz President / Walker VP ticket. We would have a good 16 years to take this Country back and reverse the damage done since Reagan left office.

    I think this scenario is very likely and can't wait to see the left having conniption fits...lol.

    "Collective funk understates how bleak things were. There’s been nothing like it until Obama’s disasterous regime."

    You're absolutely right! I was really young, but I cannot find the right words to describe the depths of bleakness felt.

    That Game was truly inspirational and uplifting for our nation.

    Something I will never forget.

    The Green Bay Packers winning Super Bowl FIFTY would do it! :)

    As a native of Wisconsin, I would love to see the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl next year (should have won this year...argh...find my happy place). It would be great, but in my humble opinion wouldn't even come close the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team's Miracle.

    On a side note, I really enjoyed the fact that the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team had a few of our WI Badgers on that Great team!

    I was 11 years old when this Miracle took place. I was very young but remember the overwhelming sense of angst hanging over our nation as the peanut farmer president Jimmy Carter had given us the “Misery Index”, “Stagflation”, close to 20% interest rates on loans, gasoline shortages with higher gas prices, and the Iranian Hostage Crisis. THE U.S was in a deep funk of misery at the time.

    Watching this game live (all commentators said the U.S team had no chance of winning) was amazing! Gives me goose bumps now just thinking about it. Love watching the Miracle on Ice movie with Kurt Russel.

    USA! USA! USA!

    I concur with most of the posts. Go to C/Net.com and download Malwarebytes, Spybot Search & Destroy, and either AVG or Avast (both are very good, only choose one though as you cannot have more than one Anti-Virus on your PC at a time or it will cause a lot of problems for you, so make sure your Kaspersky is removed also). All of these are free.

    Install and update them. (Make sure to Uncheck any “Tea Timer” update in Spybot Search & Destroy anytime you update that program as it often causes conflicts).

    1. Make sure you run Malwarebytes first as this will remove any issues from your RAM (in other words, if you don’t run this first, your virus, malware, or virus could reinstall itself after a reboot).

    2. Run Spybot Search & Destroy second.

    3. Run your Antivirus third (AVG or Avast, whichever you installed).

    Always run these when you are having issues (I run all of them once a week myself) in this order and you should always be free of malware, spyware, and virus’s on your PC.

    Hope this helps. Good Luck
