Women of America – particularly female "Star Trek" fans – co-writer/producer Damon Lindelof has something to say to you: There was no practical reason for Alice Eve to appear in her lingerie in "Star Trek Into Darkness," and he's sorry for that.

I took down the post about Charles Ramsey's past. The extension of the man's fifteen minutes is irritating to me, but I suppose I'm more irritated with the people who have tried to turn him into the next Antoine Dodson. One of the reasons that the Dodson bit and Bed Intruder is funny and entertaining is that nothing all that bad happened. There was a break-in, a failed rape attempt and a clumsy escape which left the Dodsons traumatized for a short time. The interview—which was with the actual victims, not a bystander—was the perfect example of what Nipsey Washington...

Kristen Stewart: Um, sweetie? You don’t need to screw the director once you’ve already gotten the part. Also, the perma-stoned look is so 2004.

Oh…this is not a good rumor for Obama. But the word on the street is that the US Gov. attempted to get at Jigga Man to get to Pac’s step auntie! Remember, last month, the cops in NJ were foaming at the mouth over Assata, labeling her a terrorist like she was the female Bin Laden. Meanwhile, we still neglect that George Bush killed innocents on the premise that…nahhhhh…y’all don’t want me to get to preaching, do you!?! Anyway, America has a hard-on for Assata as she lives peacefully in Cuba. Check out this intel from FTP Movement: Increasingly it...

Good morning! I'm sorry to post a vanity here, but I have to share this music video with you, in case you haven't seen it. Madison Rising is the name of the young ROCK band - named after James Madison, believe it or not. The lead singer is a Navy Vet. This is their version of The Star Bangled Banner, and it's gorgeous, for any generation. I hope you like it. It's been on the facebook, but facebook has been removing it. I've been sharing it on all my accoutns and on the Tea Party Community page.

Lots of good street musicians around, and lots of videos of them, but this guy is something special.

With the United States Senate rushing headlong into its rendezvous with destiny, i.e. deconstructing what remains of this nation’s anemic and beleaguered economy, and the U.S. House following suit, it seems appropriate to examine cui bono from these developments. Obviously not American citizens, beyond Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and the politicians who’ll be handsomely rewarded by his corporation as a result of yet another mass amnesty. Undoubtedly the thousands of immigration attorneys who’ll be enriched through the passage of the Gang of Eight proposal-whose case was pleaded by Laura Lichter, the president of the AILA, in laughably skewed immigration hearings-will...

Not Safe For Work (some foul language) - Full title - "Jason Collins Isn't A Hero, Hes A Liar & A Fraud! Here's Why! Pt 1 (1st Openly Gay NBA Player)" The woman who was once engaged to NBA star Jason Collins says she had NO CLUE he was gay at the time of their relationship ... in fact, she only found out last weekend ... and she was floored. Carolyn Moos (who played a few seasons in the WNBA) dated Collins for seven years and was engaged to him until they broke up in 2009 ... after Collins pulled...

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard has charged Russian-mobster-turned-federal-informant Mani Chulpayev with ordering the June 2012 hit against Lil Phat in Atlanta, GA in order to silence the hip-hop artist from cooperating with an investigation into Chulpayev's car business which was suspected of selling stolen vehicles as reported by Jim Strickland for WSB-TV. A SWAT team with machine guns arrested Chulpayev earlier this month in Broward County, FL. Ten years ago Chulpayev flipped for the feds to become "one of the most important witnesses in the battle against Russian organized crime" as then reported by Bill Berkely for The New...

As I write this, my television screen is full of violent and disturbing images from last week's Boston Marathon bombing. These images of heartbreak, fear, and panic have become way too common and so have the cases of individuals committing senseless acts of violence and parents losing their innocent children. Right now feels like the right time for us all to come together to stop the violence, which is why I started the "No Guns Allowed" movement. Growing up in the streets of Long Beach, I've seen the devastation that comes from gun violence firsthand... Homies dead or put in...

The popular singer Jesus "Chuy" Quintanilla who documented the exploits of the Mexican cartels through narco corridos or "drug ballads" was gunned down with two bullets to the head outside his car on a rural road in McCallen, Texas as reported by Ildefonso Ortiz for The Monitor. Apparently, singing about the narcos can be risky. No doubt, Barack Obama blindly will step over Chuy's corpse to continue insisting that there is no evidence of any cartel violence on U.S. soil because the President really doesn't care about Mexican-Americans, and would rather let their innocent communities fall to the drug cartels...

Business Watch the Stunning Hyundai ‘Suicide Ad’ That Has Resulted in Tears and a Big Apology Apr. 25, 2013 8:30pm Jason Howerton Though it is unclear how anyone at the company could have possibly though it was a good idea, Hyundai Europe recently released an advertisement depicting a man attempting to commit suicide via carbon monoxide poisoning by leaving his car running in the garage. The man in the ad fails to kill himself because the vehicle’s emissions are 100 percent water emissions.

Paul McCartney lent his voice to the gun control proponents this week. The former Beatle joined singer Tony Bennett's "Voices Against Violence" campaign which allows Americans supporter tougher new regulations on the gun control issue to text a number to receive contact information for their local legislator. McCartney, a British citizen, is the latest celebrity to join Bennett's push for harsher gun control regulations. Gloria Estefan, Alec Baldwin, Rosie O'Donnell and Josh Groban are some of the other voices callers will hear in addition to Paul McCartney's plea that nobody has to "Live and Let Die" in his view. "Tell...

Less than four months since 20 children and six educators were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the television show "Glee" depicted a school shooting in Thursday night's episode. The episode, titled "Shooting Star," began with a disclaimer reading, "This episode of 'Glee' addresses the topic of school violence. Viewer discretion is advised." Halfway through the episode, Will Schuester, the glee club coach played by Matthew Morrison, gathered his students in the choir room to begin their practice. "Let's get started," he said, clapping his hands together as a gunshot was heard in the background. A second shot rang...

Cleveland's own Eric Carmen (and friends)... Allmusic Magazine had described them as featuring 'exquisitely crafted melodies and achingly gorgeous harmonies...' The Raspberries drew influence from the British Invasion era -especially The Beatles, other Merseybeat acts, The Who, The Hollies, and The Small Faces... along their 'mod' fashion sense. Of course later Eric Carmen went on to massive success as a solo balladeer, but the original band has reunited for gigs as recently as 2005- some material from the tour was realeased as Live from the Sunset Strip in 2007. Below you'll find an amusing appearance on The Mike Douglas...

Here’s part of the synopsis: In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine manmade space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth… A hardline government official will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. Anti-immigration politicians, environmental devastation, One Percenters… all this movie needs is a futuristic racist Tea Party congregating in a homophobic chicken restaurant and it will have addressed all the left’s current favorite targets.

Keep refreshing…Beginning at 6:55pm, watch the PBS taping of a salute to Memphis Soul live from the White House right here. The actual edited show airs on Aprul 16th. The show will use Justin Timberlake as bait for the contemporary audience. But the real reasons to watch are the Stax Records stars who made it onto the lineup including Mavis Staples, Sam Moore, Booker T. Jones– who will sing, which is rare–William Bell, as well as Cyndi Lauper and Queen Latifah. Al Green was supposed to be on the show, but no one could find him. Or they found him...

ALBANY, N.Y. - A formal complaint filed with New York's lobbying board asks it to investigate whether Artists Against Fracking, a group that includes Yoko Ono and other A-List celebrities, is violating the state's lobbying law, according to the document obtained by The Associated Press. The Independent Oil & Gas Association, an industry group that supports gas drilling, filed the complaint Tuesday with the state's Joint Commission on Public Ethics. The complaint is based on an AP story that found that Artists Against Fracking and its members, including Ono, her son Sean Lennon, actors Mark Ruffalo and Robert De Niro...

In response to several of Fox News’ opinion commentators having harsh words for his anti-gun Funny or Die video, actor Jim Carrey has lashed out at the network, claiming he was slandered for his views by the network’s “bullies,” and that the successful cable network is nothing more than a “giant culture fart.” In a statement issued Friday afternoon, Carrey repeatedly referred to the network as “Fux News” and suggested that the criticism from commentators like Greg Gutfeld was tantamount to slander. “If I felt they were worth my time or that anyone with a brain in their head could...

I know this musical is cheesy, but I really feel like it captures, at least here, that terrible, sinking feeling that the Founders must have had at times. (Go back and read some of Washington's letters sometime... Poor man). No matter the odds, no matter the obstacles, commitment is the key. Don't give up and don't give in. We have to realize that even the greats in history were once questioning if their actions meant anything in the whole of the world. Without ideas there is no vision. Without vision there is no call to action. Without call to action,...

New York's 92nd Street Y may be the premiere Jewish cultural institution in the country. So what's it doing offering the prestige of its stage to a rock star Jew-hater? Lori Lowenthal Marcus of the Jewish Press reports: "According to the Facebook Page of the 92nd Street Y, on March 22, 1874, the Young Men's Hebrew Association was formed. But a quick look at its current website shows that Roger Waters, former front man for the rock group Pink Floyd, and currently one of the biggest haters of Israel outside of the Middle East, will be appearing at the 92nd...

Good day, Freepers. My family and I have decided to move to Nashville, Tennessee. We have worked in the music industry for decades, but stopped playing professionally for a few years in order to raise our children. We've also considered Austin, Texas. We are searching for information concerning housing, environment, climate, the music scene, and any other helpful advice/comments you can provide. My family and I have never visited Austin or Nashville. We are currently researching these topics via the net, but your assistance is deeply appreciated. Thank You, TJI

Just days after NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on large sugary drinks was struck down by a judge, the feisty Mayor is at it again. Holding a press conference in a back office of J&R Music World, Bloomberg is now trying to pass a law banning all boxed sets containing more than 4 CDs. "This is just one more example of things going too far." Bloomberg was armed and ready, citing both the Complete Blue Oyster Cult collection and the Beatles remasters, as "prime examples of excess." The NYC Mayor was determined. He went on to explain. "The public is...

This week the Enquiring Hitchhiker is proud to bring you the New York Times bestselling author of the Monster Hunter series Larry Correia… Question 1. You broke into writing by self publishing your first book. How did you market the novel and what experiences positive and negative did you have with that first book? ------- After getting rejected everywhere I decided to self publish. Since I was already well known in the internet gun community, I concentrated my efforts there. Specifically on a couple of gun forums, including one that I’d been a moderator on for a really long time....

Gilbert O'Sullivan (dob Dec 1, 1946) is an Irish singer/songwriter best known in the United States for his eternal hit 'Alone Again (Naturally)' (1972 US, #1 hit) as well as 'Clair' (1972, US #2). His voice has become instantly recognizable to many due to the widespread fame brought by these two timeless ballads, both of which were written by O'Sullivan himself... He also enjoyed a hot chart-topper in the UK with 'Get Down' (1973, video below), although this wonderful little ditty never did make it on our side of the pond. Another one you'll recall in all likelihood would...

Gov. Gavin Newsom as racist.</p>

Billy J. Kramer (born William Howard Ashton 1943) in Liverpool, England came to fame as yet another Merseybeat act that went on to join the 'British Invasion' of the US market in the early 1960s. Like the Beatles, he was managed by Brian Epstein, and in fact Kramer went on to record a number of Lennon/McCartney compositions over time. I myself am a big fan of the band, as I've become interested in Merseybeat bands in general over the last few years. But somehow this particular song catches my imagination, even though I only first heard it a couple years...

Being the outdated and unnecessary entities that they are, unions continue to fortify the establishments and institutions that have kept us in shackles. Unions were designed to protect the rights of workers from the predatory practices of corporations and industrialists. Today, unions are nothing more than the stitches that keep the fabric of the status quo together. In this case, the status quo consists of incompetence, grossly inflated salaries, recycled myths, and the endless expansion of government and bureaucracy. The status quo feeds off of attitudes, trends, and values. The place that controls these things, and ensures the status quo...

Doesn't the president get enough attention? The president is always the star of the show. When just about any major event occurs — whether it's a downturn in the unemployment rate, a natural disaster or some crisis overseas — much of the news media ask how it's going to play out for the president, the central actor in our national drama. But then there are additional moments when the president injects himself into non-news contexts. President Obama, in particular, seems to be fond of appearing in as many pop culture venues as possible, whether it's The Daily Show or The...

Jimmy Kimmel Live last night was supposed to feature the British singer Morrissey and the Robertson family from the A&E Show Duck Dynasty. However, when Morrissey, a vegetarian and "animal rights activist", found out the Robertsons were sharing the limelight with him, he issued an ultimatum - them or me. "As far as my reputation is concerned, I can't take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers," Morrissey said in a statement. "If Jimmy cannot dump 'Duck Dynasty' then we must step away." Oh, the horror of having to appear...

In spite of a concerted campaign by 'anti-Zionists', the Rolling Stones have announced they have no intention of cancelling their planned concert in Jerusalem on Israel’s Independence Day, Monday, April 15. “We’ve been slammed and smacked and twittered a lot by the anti-Israeli side,” said Mick Jagger, the band’s leader and most recognizable member since 1963. “All I can say is: anything worth doing is worth overdoing. So we decided to add a concert on Tuesday.” Needless to say, tickets to both concerts, Monday night in Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem and Tuesday night in Bloomfield Stadium, Tel Aviv, have been...

What Adkins does correctly point out is that the ongoing interpretation of the 10th amendment, a.k.a. "states' rights" issue has not been resolved. The federal courts quite frequently decide cases surrounding 10th amendment issues and interpretations. For those of us who are familiar with this topic, including very recent history, Adkins could not be more correct . . .

First lady Michelle Obama, surrounded by servicemen and women, made a surprise appearance at Sunday night's Oscar ceremony when she appeared via live video from Washington to present the award for Best Picture. Jack Nicholson was present on stage to hand off the award to Ben Affleck for Argo.

She said she was excited to pay...

My 10-year old son is in his second year of wrestling here in NY. He just won the Sectional Championship, and he's headed to the State Tournament next week. He's excited and I'm awfully proud of him, and pleased that he's learned a bunch of important life lessons this year. Maybe the biggest one is that hard work and commitment lead to good things. Anyway, I put together this highlight video and thought I'd share it with you all.

The Rifleman - The Anvil Chorus (1962) Gun-banning Deputy Nils Swenson takes control of Northfork when the Marshall is out of town. Hijinks ensues. After Swenson stops a man from shooting off his revolver in celebration, he gets an idea. A very bad idea. Deputy Swenson: "People carryin' around guns, causin' trouble. Take away the guns, no trouble." Lucas: "Have you had any trouble since [Marshall] Micah left? Swenson: "Well, no..." Lucas: "Nils, this territory has a lot of growin' up to do. And until that's done, we can't take away a man's right to protect himself." I would argue...
