Several years ago, we had a burglary and guns were stolen from our house. About a year ago, one of them turned up on a thug, who was reaching for it in his waistband and subsequently was tasered by the police before he was able to use it one them. In the end, the gun helped to put him away, but even with priors (including a shooting about 10 years back) he only received a sentence of 3 ½ to 7 years from our pathetic “justice” system. Fast forward to the present. I was informed that I could get my...

I'm awaiting a flight in Phoenix to Baltimore. 11 teenage Hispanic boys and four non-Hispanic adults just sat down all in a row in the terminal. The boys have not said a word and oddly, none of them have shoelaces. This is weird and I'm not sure what to make of it or what to do. Being in a TSA zone, I sure don't want to start a protest.

This "Public Service Announcement" is being run heavily on one of our local TV stations. I think it is ridiculous. Kids at a playground wishing they were in school because of missing the school lunch(!).

I was given the gift of a new laptop- HP Pavilion Smartouch 17. not my first choice, but it was a nice gift and the giver knew my old Toshiba Satellite L505-a6946 is dying and that I'm too cheap to buy a new one. The Satellite uses Vista and the new HP is Windows 8.1 . I need to know what's the best(easiest) way to move all my data from one to the other including AVG,Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes,emails(Outlook)and other vital programs. While I'm at it, I assume it came with all sorts of unwanted 'bloatware' so I will need to...

I normally can't stand a sport where kicking a ball around results in a zero score and people cheer about that lame-oh Kurr-Rapp. However, Brazil sucks and is being trounced right now 7-1. I think Germany felt sorry and just allowed a score as a sign of sportsmanship. Normally (Hah!) I'd never watch woccer/soccer but, I just had a giant plate of ribs and I like seeing these chumps get trounced. Stoopit ball. Stoopit net. Stoopit country. Stoopit game.... stoopitest

We the People plead with the Federal Courts to stop the ongoing criminal conduct of the Obama Administration. The Federal Courts have acted in the past, when Congress could not act, or would not act, to protect the civil rights and safety of Americans.

Premieres Wednesday July 30 at 9 PM. Be there or be square!

How does everyone think the SCOTUS is going to rule on Hobby Lobby. Unfortunately, I predict they'll vote on behalf of ObamaCare against HL.

Although this issue most likely has been brought up time to time in the media over the week.Maybe the M.S.M. may want to inform us on how many toilets are available for the 60,000 to 100,000 refugee children.It's bad enough they are bringing their infectious diseases over the border,and now they may be sharing one toilet with 100 to 200 other children?Nice going Liberals!,did you forget to make sure there were enough food and facilities to service all of these kids who are most likely not even able to wash their hands after using those germ-filled "Rent-A-Potty's"??

Looking for one to power small items and that I can recharge via AC wall outlet and/or 20W solar panel.

After reading Jon Gabriel’s recent piece regarding funerals, it occurred to me that ever since I learned about mortality (at about age four), I’ve wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. I’ve kept in shape and have always enjoyed lots of butter (I knew it was good for me before Time announced it!). But I still know that, in the end, death is a place where we are all equal. Science and technology will eventually find a way for people to live a very long time, if not “forever.” The first to benefit will be the very wealthy, but the...

I believe in miracles (as in the Biblical sense), but I don't think I can say I've actually ever witnessed one. I'm curious if anyone here feels they've ever seen a real one before. If so, what is your miracle story?

As the intensity and ferocity of national and international events seems to accelerate towards chaos, it seems to me and many others that all this is unfolding by human design. Forces at work on national and international levels seem to have been coordinating just such a climax for many years. It often appears that opposing interests are merely battling it out, but then there is often the sense that the appearance of opposing interests is merely an illusion put forth to keep us off guard as to what is actually happening on a larger scale. Is there a grand conspiracy,...

Wanted: Applicants for Majority Leader in US House who have a record opposing amnesty. Come see me. https://twitter.com/SteveKingIA/status/476576416461766656 Earthshaking primary results in Virginia tonight. Resounding rejection of #Amnesty and support for Rule of Law. Personal regrets to Eric.

Returning POW, Bowe Bergdahl, has been lauded by ESPN and MSNBC, and several other media outlets, for his courageous coming out as a gay Muslim. Rachel Maddow devoted an entire episode of her show celebrating the “marriage” of the world’s most tolerant religion with the world’s most tolerant lifestyle. “I can’t tell you how happy I am,” said Maddow, “to see this day when gays and Muslims stand hand in hand. This is just more proof, not that we needed any, that right wing Christian Nazis are not only out of the mainstream, but fading away in our culture altogether....

DAMMIT South Carolina, CLOSE YOUR PRIMARIES!

Today my family and I had need of entering a federal building. In the process of doing so we encountered the following crazy federal hangups. 1) one family member had a pair of child's sissors they forgot about. these had to be removed and kept up front before we were allowed entrance to the building. now bear in mind thousands of kids take the very same kind of sissors to the gun free zones known as schools every day without a care. in fact, the schools often supply the "deadly" weapons. 2) another family member had left their driver's license...
