"Resisting Arrest Without Violence" is what cops charge you with when you haven't committed a crime, but they want you in jail anyway. It is a powerful intimidation tool.

Have you ever watched that silly show?

It almost happened to me, and now I know why.

As the anniversary approaches, The Left is going to remind us. Count on it.

Illegal Immigration: Jimmy Carter Did This To Us, Too.

You can still buy a Daisy BB Rifle for your kid. I didn't know that.

I'm looking for the song "Baby, What's Wrong With You?" by this dude who plays a banjo.

"The image that comes to mind is Obama dressed as a pied piper: playing a seductive tune, leading black Americans to their deaths, drowned in a river. Blacks are suffering big-time under Obama."

The Cambridge Christian School in Tampa is closing their high school for the rest of the week due to a high number of students sick. One-third of the school's 240 high school class students have come down with flu-like symptoms. Cleaning crews will spend the next two days cleaning and disinfecting the school.

Last year I took an Ethics class at school. Our professor gave us a lecture about the pros and cons of Capitalism. And at the end of the lecture, he asked us if we could define "crony capitalism". We all drew a blank. We'd all heard the phrase, but we didn't quite understand it. So he broke it down to us in very simplistic terms: "Let's sat that you own a cow. And your neighbor owns one hundred cows. But he's so greedy that he wants your cow, too. So he bribes corrupt politicians to pass laws that will take...

911 has come and gone, and the terrorists didn't strike us. Thank God. Admit it, we were all anticipating the Worst Case Scenario. Especially with our wide-open borders and the empowerment of Al Qiada's frontmen, "Isis". Not to mention the worthless, impotent leadership at the head of our government. On the day the Towers fell, I was 10 years old. I went to school that day, just like every other day. But it just happened to be THAT school. Emma E. Booker Elementary in Sarasota, Florida. For two weeks before 911 we had been told that the President of the...

Has this ever happened to you? You go to a clean, modern American supermarket and buy some boxes of pasta. You store some of them in you cupboard. And when you cook it, little black bugs are floating in the water. They look like fleas, except that they have snouts. Very gross. And by putting boxes of them in your cupboard, you have now infested your kitchen with them. I was so mad that I e-mailed the company, a popular national brand, and gave them a piece of my mind. I even e-mailed them a close-up photo of the bug...

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. I walked out of a WalMart in St. Petersburg, Florida, and I was confronted by a pandhandler. An elderly white gentleman in his mid-60's, neatly dressed and clean-shaven. And he had this cute little doggie on a leash. His spiel was that he only got 500 dollars a month in Social Security, and most of it went for the rent of his kitchenette apartment. He could just barely afford to feed himself. He couldn't afford dog food, so he was panhandling just to get some change to feed his dog. And that little doggie...

Violation of both our Second Amendment rights and our Civil Rights!

I am searching all over the web trying to find a song. I don't know if it's old or new, and I don't even know who sings it. I don't even know the title. It goes like this: "While you were sleeping, they came and took it all. It was an inside job, the way it always is..." It's full of heavy metal, and the singer has a high tenor voice. If anybody out there knows the song I'm talking about, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Confidential reports from state regulators show how Florida bankers made risky bets, broke the law, enriched themselves and their friends, and hurt their own institutions....and got away with it.

Does anybody know why The Blaze is offline? Has it been hacked, or are they just having "technical difficulties?"
