  • An Ultra-new unmarked mega-bus full of Hispanic Males-Florence,SC Truck stop

    Mrs. Mosby and I were traveling through SC Southbound I-95 on 3 Nov, and encountered a huge VanHool brand new white charter tour bus- unmarked. It pulled into the Flying J truckstop in Florence,SC and disgorged about a 100 hispanics (from business experience and listening to them in the store-these were Mexican indios, and all were males). They all went into the store, purchased snacks, then got back aboard and it left, having fueled at the diesel truck pumps. While it was fueling, we went around and took down the GA license plate- tried to locate the driver and make...

    Open Letter to Mitch McConnell Congratulations on your win. It is commendable that you were able to keep another liberal Democrat from gaining a foothold in the US Senate. For that, you deserve thanks and credit.  Now, though, after the huge Republican win, it's time for you to recuse yourself from consideration for the Majority Leader position.  Unfortunately you have been too divisive and polarizing over the past year.  Your extreme comments against fellow Republicans make it such that you've spent too much goodwill among the whole Big Tent.  Your comments in fact amount to a conflict of interest in...

    I thoroughly enjoyed Election Night 2014. It was the first time I have smiled, albeit wanly, in four long years. I savored every second of it. Watching Nunn and Carter fall in my home state of Georgia, was particularly delightful. I had bad feelings about both those races. I followed the entire night as the ratio of Perdue to Nunn voters -- hovering around 55% to 43% -- refused to budge, no matter how liberal the county that released its results. Then to watch the gratifying or surprising wins: Cotton beat Pryor in Arkansas despite Clinton's best efforts. This gives...

  • Juan Williams."This Is Not A Republican Wave". Huh?

    He can't be serious! Did any of you see him try to defend the rats again on FOX? The others hosts there looked at him as if he had to be joking. GOP picks up at least 10 House Seats, and cleaning house all over the map. And a little while ago Juan denies it's a Republican wave. He should be fired for acting like Debbie Wasserman and Joe Biden!

  • Which World Leader Deserves To Be Called "Leader of the Free World"

    11/04/2014 9:30:31 AM PST · by ComtedeMaistre · 41 replies
    The title of leader of the free world has traditionally been held by an American President. But since America does not have a suitable candidate for such a title at the moment, which world leaders qualify to be leaders of the free world? These are possible candidates - Stephen Harper (Canada), Angela Merkel (Germany), Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel), Vladimir Putin (Russia), and David Cameron (Britain). Non-Western leaders can include 1. The new right-wing Hindu Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who passionately opposes Islamic extremism. His party, the BJP, is very pro-Israel. As Chief Minister of Gujarat State, he implemented small...

    Go out and vote today, I will. There are good folks to vote for in some cases. One in my case and I will write-in names for others. I hope Scott Walker wins today in Wisconsin because he should not be punished for demanding concessions from government employee unions and getting his state's fiscal house in order. I'm not endorsing Walker's back down regarding same sex marriage. I'm also not endorsing Walker for president in 2016 either. I wish my governor would have done the same in Pennsylvania, but it hasn't happened. Governor Tom Corbett raised gasoline taxes, agreed to...

    Don't sit home pouting how your candidate is not a perfect conservative Don't sit home rationalizing that R cannot win in your blue state Don't believe the left-stream media telling us that R have it in the pocket. The truth is, the election is a close one. Every Senate seat is hugely important. We need a cushion for liberal voter fraud. We need a cushion for RINOs and traitors We need a cushion for the 2016 election when Republicans are expected to lose seats. 53 vs 52 majority tomorrow can mean a difference between republican controlling the Senate versus the...

    Wisconsinites go to the polls Tuesday to make a very important decision — choosing our next chief executive for the next four years. Before we review the credentials of incumbent Republican Gov. Scott Walker and his main challenger, Democrat Mary Burke, it’s vital to realize that your vote Tuesday is not about the past but indeed about the future. It’s about selecting a leader you think will do the best job helping make Wisconsin a better place to live and work.

    So, I've been working on a little booklet to present/illustrate the reasons why the amendments are needed in addition to the amendment-text itself — I'm not entirely pleased with the justifications I've written up, and I'm not sure that these are enough for presenting to an Article V Amendment-convention, but nonetheless here they are.

    ""Such protections would be temporary since the president lacks authority to give people permanent legal status." This title from a quote in the WSJ article on "Executive Amnesty".I contend the first potential GOP candidate for POTUS that announces they will immediate, upon taking office, rescind this illegal act, and use all information gathered to enforce existing immigration law, will be elected in a LANDSLIDE. It's an opportunity as big as Alaska.

    Robo-Call | N/A | N/A
    Apologize in advance for not having a better source. The topic is about a robocall I received last night. The jist of the call was that I need to vote next Tuesday or else.. "Voting records are public and we will check to ensure you voted after the election." There was no CallerID and the call did not say who was calling. The implication seemed clear to me. Go vote or there will be a consequence. Might be effective for the gizmedats. Not sure why they called my zipcode. Jesse Jackson could probably win in my precinct if he ran...
  • The Wendy Davis "miracle"

    10/28/2014 7:45:46 AM PDT · by wrhssaxensemble · 22 replies
    I get the power of hype (and demographic changes broadly) but why is it that so many people seem to be cedeing to the "fact" that Wendy Davis' campaign is somehow changing the face of Texas? I mean right now RCP averages have her down by 14.2% which is including the Lyceum poll which has been discredited by other pollsters. It also does not show the fact that the more recent polls have her falling even further behind (one pull currently has her 20% behind Abbott). But let's be conservative and say she is currently 15% behind Abbott. I've already...
