The maker of Oreo is looking to take its snacks to a new level by cashing in on the CBD trend. Mondelez International, which owns Chips Ahoy, Oreo, Nutter Butter and other brand name snacks may be adding CBD-infused snacks to its product line, CNBC reported. “Yes, we’re getting ready, but we obviously want to stay within what is legal and play it the right way,” CEO Dirk Van de Put told the business network on Wednesday. The chemical, which is derived from hemp and marijuana doesn't make you high, unlike THC, but it does provide some of the same...

Gun control is one of the most divisive subjects in America, a “cause celeb,” a political football, a challenge to the Second Amendment and a thumb perpetually being stuck in the eye of law abiding citizens by President Obama. Counter to the careless claims coming from those furthest to the left, responsible gun owners in America don't use their firearms for offensive purposes. They keep them out of the reach of children, and they want to see the guns taken out of the hands of those who do use firearms for offensive purposes just as fervently as the shrillest voices...

We all know that one of the prime motivating factors that leads to the early immigration to the United States of America was freedom – freedom from a monarchy and freedom from a societal class system that placed the working people at the bottom of the food chain.

Flood of Blood Anybody with a brain in their head has been able to see that the situation on our Southern Border was bound to turn into chaos, with the potential for terrorists and violent criminals to walk across unimpeded and go into whatever part of the U.S. they wanted to.

Why did you write "Simple Man?" I'm disgusted with what's going on in our country about violent crime. We take the criminal's side in a lot of cases rather than the victim's and it's just a shame. It's time we do something about it. That's what prompted "Simple Man." How do you feel about violence in schools? I think it's horrible. I honestly believe violence in schools started in the '60s when we took any semblance of morality and prayer out of the schools. People talk about the separation of church and state; if you read the Constitution, the law...

Charlie Daniels is a great American Conservative, Christian, and Southern Gentleman.I just got back from the Charlie Daniels Band concert and my what a show!As the lights dimmed, the crowd of mostly faded blue-jeans and t-shirt clad Americans chanted, "Charlie, Charlie....." Charlie Daniels took the stage, fiddle in hand. His larger than life presence stood above the crowd: tall cowboy hat, silverly grey beard, and giant shiny belt buckle reflecting the stage lights. He leaned forward and struck that bow across the strings and the show got underway!After playing "Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye", Charlie stopped to thank everyone to...
