    This coming Sunday at every house of religious worship and Sports Event and Sports Cafe/Bars across the entire USA, the American people should join together and sing out "God Bless America" in prayer, honor, respect, love, and remembrance of those innocent Americans, killed, slaughtered, wounded and injured, by an insane, nutcase, whose heart and soul where filled with hate of the American people and the American nation.

Forget the NFL, it is dead-on-arrival, no...

  • Vanity - TV, Media, LEOs miss the basics on Stephen Paddock, why?

    10/03/2017 3:11:11 AM PDT · by JLAGRAYFOX · 114 replies
    The media would have us all believe that mass murderer, Stephen Paddock was just an average "Joe or Jim" with no shady background, and that he just simply snapped and, in cold blood, murdered 59 innocent people and wounded more then 500 people, his fellow Americans. Really? I think not. I believe this evil, hateful, "SATAN" human being was highly motivated, focused, strategic, thinking and 100% percent determined to carry out his vile attack on his country and it's innocent citizens. You would think that the authorities and the media charged with determining his motive would have hit the basics...

  • Vanity - NFL, Ex-Raven, Ray Lewis rants & raves...aimlessly. Sad!!!

    10/01/2017 4:33:55 AM PDT · by JLAGRAYFOX · 17 replies
    Watched ex-Raven, Ray Lewis last evening, act out the role of the uninformed, blithering, idiot he is. I could go on but, as incoherent and lost at sea as this fellow is, he needs professional help, because he not coherently speak the English language in proper fashion. His "I am praying rant and raves are 100% meaningless", for he does not know what praying is, and what it is for. Shame on the NFL for letting this guy shoot off his mouth, trying to protect the America Haters, he loves so much in the NFL, the NBA and MLB!!!

    San Juan, Mayor makes a fool out of herself saying Trump wants to kill San Juan residents. Without further comment, this woman better come to terms with the fact that POTUS, Donald J. Trump is the best friend in the world that Puerto Ricans have. I simply state the following, "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THEN WORDS"!!! And POTUS, Trump is doing everything possible in conjunction with the Governor of PR, trying to get this devastating "act of nature attack" under control. Fact is: San Juan, who is led by this incompetent, political, Mayor had no firm or positive action plans in...

    NFL had better get its act together. There is nothing to discuss. The deadbeat NFL players, "Hate America" "Lock your arms, together" has failed miserably. Packers, Q/B, Aaron Rogers earns the title of "Failed Obama Girlie Boy, Pajama Boy" as the overwhelming majority of thousands of Greenbay Packer fans rejected his request that fans lock arms to show unity with the NFL America Haters on the Packers and Chicago Bear NFL teams.

    POTUS, Trump, the "tell like it is" POTUS, has caused both major political parties, the entire media and the entire sports world into a very uncomfortable place for all of them. Bottom line, Trump has the vast majority of Americans in his corner supporting him and his stance in defending the American flag, The American national anthem, The American culture, The American nation, and most of all the American people. The media is lost at babbling this or that, The NFL management and coaches, in total, are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, has zero leadership of any kind,...
