Hello FRiends, I am researching some information for another book (this one dealing w/D-Day and the Homefront) Try as I might, I have not been able to find any information regarding civilian wages during war time. I can find all the charts and pretty graphs taking about a as a percentage of this, that, and the but I will be darned if I can find listed in terms of dollars per hour/day, etc for various occupations. I am particularly interested in ship building in the SF Bay Area. Wages differences between male/female and black/white. This is not a sociological book,...

It's a video, there is no transcript beyond unintelligible grunts. As for the state of things, whatever. But doing my part to celebrate Western Civilization. This sSene from Black Friday 2014 in New Pakistan (formerly "Great Britain" is therefore accompanied by Frédéric Chopin - Prelude in E-Minor (Opus 28 Number 4). And for humblegunner types, Chopin actually passed away quite a while ago, and this music is in the public domain ; )

Attorney General Eric Holder plans to to continue a federal investigation into the shooting of robbery suspect Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson after a grand jury found that there was not enough evidence to even indict him. The grand jury after many months, days and hours of seeing and hearing evidence, studying the evidence and hearing testimony found no fault with Officer Wilson regarding the incident. He was doing what police officers are supposed to do, protect the community from crime. Mr. Holder needs to answer to the American People why he thinks it is imperative to pursue this...

Elections no longer serve their intended purpose, to temporarily empower others to make law on our behalf, subject to constitutional limitations. Obama plainly said last week that the outcome of the midterms meant the exact opposite of its results. He will issue diktats on behalf of those who didn’t vote! His first act was to lead a barbarian invasion across our southern border. A last ditch defense of our republic demands two actions. First, the virus that afflicts our governing body, Barack Obama, must be excised. If not, he will continue his scorched earth demonic march through our God given...

OK the logic Obama used to ram home shAmnesty went along these lines - paraphrasing, "Congress needs to send me a bill fixing this broken immigration system. Since they didn't I was forced to act on my own. It is their fault not mine".It has been bothering since I heard that edict, where had I seen that type "logic" used before. Well in 1939 Hitler used that same logic when justifying the Polish invasion. "We tried to negotiate a peace with Poland, we wanted to occupy Poland without bloodshed. We could not negotiate with them so I was forced to...

Ok this is a vanity, but what EO's would you like to see from a Conservative "Friendly" President. Turn about is fair play. "Stroke of the pen - law of the land. Pretty cool."

Today, playing at home against Kansas, OU TRUE FRESHMAN running back Samaje Perine broke the NCAA FBS series record, set just last week by Wisconsin RB Melvin Gordon. Gordon's record, set last week against Nebraska, was 426 yards. Perine ran for 427 today, breaking not only the FBS single-game record, but passing the freshman season total for former Sooner player, including Joe Washington, Billy Sims, Marcus Dupree, Mike Gaddis and Spencer Tillman. Oh yeah some guy named Adrian... whatshisname...

"... Bassem Masri had told officers, while pointing at each one, 'I`m praying for your death and you death and your death and your death.' ..." "... Police are perhaps, Eric Holder be damned, going to go Frank Rizzo on the Stalinist scum exploiting the situation. ..."

How can a pardon be granted to illegal aliens who have stolen Social Security numbers and other personal identities, and not to other citizens who may have done the same things for other reasons? I thought the laws applied equally to everyone. Is this legal? I guess it is if our Emperor says it is.

Wondering if anyone has noticed the Florida State...

Happy Birthday!

I always thought that most of what goes on in govt today equates to racketeering. I believe the public is routinely defrauded by public officials. By deception, obamacare was enacted and now the public must pony up under the program or pay fines. Here's a FindLaw definition of racketeering: "1 : the extortion of money or advantage by threat or force 2 : a pattern of illegal activity (as extortion and murder) that is carried out in furtherance of an enterprise (as a criminal syndicate) which is owned or controlled by those engaged in such activity " And here's one...

He may not have said those words, but as I heard BHO speaking just now, that's what I was "hearing between the lines".

I got a part time job in a Des office as a receptionist, but I may be able to use my phlebotomy skills to. Thanks for all your prayers. :)

After about 10 years with gmail.com, I've decides to migrate to a new email address. I figure it will take few months, and will insert a forward rule in my current gmail account. I'd like to find another free provider if possible. I don't mind using a service that wraps advertising around received message, but I don't want to use a provide that wraps around sent messages. I know about reagan.com but they charge. I know they advertise explicitly that they do not browse messages for social engineering, advertising ... etc. That attracts me and if I do choose a...

Leftists are ruled by their emotions and cannot control them. The hatred, vitriol and apoplectic rage they will display in the coming weeks and months will shock even us hardened, long-time conservatives. Gird your loins, folks. The mutants will seek to strike back.

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...

So Doug Ose beats Ami Bera in California's CD7 last night. Good, right?

This new Congress MUST represent the people of the country now. With Common Core, our grade school students are being asked to repeat the tenets of Islam. I thought religion wasn't allowed in the schools? Common Core Head, Arne Duncan, withholds education monies, required to be sent to the Federal Gov't from ALL states, from states that don't go with Common Core. With Obamacare, the Fed Gov't is already sucking up Health dollars for other purposes, not having anything to do with Healthcare. We want our freedom to choose our Doctors again! Make Health Insurance competitive, allow Health Insurance to...
