Tried calling Sen Cornyn's office, both the local office and the DC office. The offices are not answering the phones and the voice mail boxes are responding that they are full. Sen Cornyn has joined the McLame/Gramnesty wing of the party, and for all his protestations, with his actions today to stand against efforts to fund Obamacare, he has lost my vote next election.

I apologize if I'm not posting this correctly, but I kindly request any prayers that you might offer for my Dad. About six weeks ago, my Dad went to the Cardiologist (after months of feeling increasingly sluggish). It turned that a previous lingering cold gave him a heart infection that (although gone at the time) reduced his heart function dramatically. ..to about 15%. They gave him a vest that acted as a defib and compression to strengthen the heart. He was feeling much better but last night he exhibited heart attack symptoms and was rushed via ambulance to the hospital....

"Obamacare is awful, Obamacare is evil, Obamacare is an abomination etc. etc. etc."....... The loud voices of Republican criticism are ringing out loud and clear as the RINO congressional leadership has set up two opportunities for business as usual GOP politicians to look good by casting NO votes on Obamacare even as they will allow it to go ahead in the end by funding it. The House got their turn by voting last week and the Senate gets their turn this week. That's because the Republican establishment will not stand up and support Senator Ted Cruz and his effort to...

Who is vulnerable in 2014?

The following are photos taken on Friday, September 20, 2013 at the Ronald Reagan Sports Park in Temecula, California. The Reagan statue and monument was likely vandalized either the night before or in the early morning hours of Friday September 20. The cause of the damage appears to be vandalism by arson. Local police were called to the scene and an investigation is ongoing. - Photo of the Reagan Monument with missing damaged tiles. - The missing/vandalized tiles were removed by city staff ... notice the burn marks at the base of the structure. - Burned/damaged tiles on both side...

Great first step today by the House! Now the bill goes to the Senate and there's no doubt they'll change it to fund ObamaCare. And then the House must hold the line! Reject the Senate's changes! Defund/kill ObamaCommieCare before it kills us!! If Obama/Reid follow through with their threats to shutdown the government, then the adults in the House, with the full backing of the people, will have an opportunity to pass appropriation bills to fund the essential departments of government department by department. The first appropriations bill to pass should be social security and medicare. This will set the...

I was witness, as a Texas to Mississippi morning radio broadcast received a call from an undisclosed educator weithin the Orleans Parish, Louisiana, school system, around 0630 this morning, announce to the world, that the school system starts the school day, NOT ONLY with The Pledge of Allegiance, but with "The World Pledge"!!! Here are the words of "The World Pledge", and I quote: " I pledge allegiance to Humanity, and to the World that gives us life, one People, united in diversity, and one World, united in peace, with freedom and dignity for all." What kind of un-American nonsense...

Check it out....

Oh yeah??? Well so is arresting those who have broken our immigration laws, a NON-POLITICAL IRS, protecting Americans doing Government jobs overseas, etc, etc, etc.

Scientists at a British university say they are confident they found evidence of life that originated in space. Researchers at the University of Sheffield sent a scientific balloon into the stratosphere — often described as the edge of space — during a Perseid meteor shower, which collected small organisms they believe are not from Earth. “Most people will assume that these biological particles must have just drifted up to the stratosphere from Earth, but it is generally accepted that a particle of the size found cannot be lifted from Earth to heights of, for example, 27km. The only known exception...

US Study Finds Link Between Gun Ownership and Homicide: Factual or Faulty?

JMHO - it would be nice if someone on the Hill brought this up ...

We keep hearing this strategy trumpeted, without really knowing what implications are at stake. What does defunding Obamacare really imply? What does it accomplish. Will ALL the requirements then be gone or delayed? Will the contraception mandate be made null? Will employers' reporting requirements be non-effective? It angers me when soundbytes are made the policy push without knowing the substance of what is being debated.

Why don't you just STHU regarding your pathetic attacks on conservatives, Barry? You are a maggot, a bottom feeding scum, who has not one ounce of true patriotism running through whatever those are masquerading as blood veins in your body. You are an effeminate metro-sexual wimp and wuss, who can only scheme of ways to stick daggers in the backs of real Americans who are your betters or try to find other weasily, mealy mouthed ways to bring them down. You’re neither black nor white and you certainly are not American. You stand for and support everything that is the...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama used the power of her bully pulpit Wednesday to push food companies and television broadcasters to do more to promote healthier foods to children — and to do it faster. Research shows food marketing is a leading cause of childhood obesity because the ads and promotions lead impressionable kids to then pester their parents to eat what they saw on TV, consumer advocates say. The first lady cited a "cultural shift" taking place in America's eating habits, and highlighted as examples salad bars that are now in many school lunchrooms and kids' restaurant menus that...

More pain at the pump for the middle class, but according to Wall Street this is a good thing.

A meat inspection program that the Agriculture Department plans to roll out in pork plants nationwide has repeatedly failed to stop the production of contaminated meat at American and foreign plants that have already adopted the approach, documents and interviews show. The program allows meat producers to increase the speed of processing lines by as much as 20 percent and cuts the number of USDA safety inspectors at each plant in half, replacing them with private inspectors EMPLOYED BY MEAT COMPANIES. The approach has been used for more than a decade by five American hog plants under a pilot program....

orget about Singapore and New York City — the world's best new skyscraper is located in Canada. Emporis, a database of construction projects, has named the Absolute World Towers in Mississauga, Canada, the best new skyscraper of 2012. The two twisting towers were built by MAD Ltd and Burka Architects, and selected by an international jury of experts from over 300 skyscrapers at least 100 meters tall completed last year. The Absolute World Towers were chosen for their aesthetic beauty. Nicknamed "Marilyn Monroe" for their curving shape, no two floors in the towers are exactly the same. Also making the...
