On Breitbart News Radio this morning with Alex Marlow, John Nolte commented that this is like To Kill a Mockingbird. This is so true!!! Atticus Finch had the gall to question a woman about her accusation, which turned out to all be lies...It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. We all need to be like Atticus and look to protect the falsely accused. These women have zero evidence, and their biases say much. If they are not even willing to come before the Senate committee, then I would hope it’s obvious to rational people what this is about. No man...

They thought it was Armageddon and wanted to save their neighbours. They believed police were monsters. They showed super strength after being pepper sprayed and Tasered. And all but one of them were naked because, with the end of the world, they didn’t have time to get dressed.

Two women and one man, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban, each pleaded guilty in Leduc provincial court last week to a charge of unlawful...

A tenet of modern medicine tells us that Aspirin prevents heart attack and stroke. An Aspirin a day keeps the doctor away, the saying goes – a belief so deeply ingrained that about half of older adults take low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) daily. But a flurry of new research is throwing cold water on Aspirin’s reputation as a panacea. Like all challenging of established dogma, however, the shift in scientific thinking requires some explanation, provisos and cautions. People who have had a heart attack (a clot that stops blood flow to the heart) or an ischemic stroke (a clot that...

Like most everyone else here in Jim's living room, I have been very supportive of Judge Kavenaugh and critical of the attacks and attackers attempting to stop his nomination and election to the Supreme court.

I was thinking that it would be great if Trump held fireside chats with cabinet members and talk about what they have accomplished hope to accomplish in the near and long term. A really good way to tell the media to screw off.
