I haven't posted in a long time, so I ask for some slack in this case if I am not correct. What I'm looking for is a straight-forward database application for employee photos that someone could access from a phone or computer. Type in a name or even a part of one and get corresponding employee photos is all that needs to happen. The current system is really old and none of us at my office are SQL people. A few times when updating photos and names, the application would generate errors a DB type would understand. Following the instructions...

On Monday’s CNN This Morning, the “Group Chat” sounded less like analysis and more like a Democratic messaging session. Discussing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s claim that the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0,” CNN senior reporter Zach Wolf wasn’t troubled by the incendiary historical comparison. Instead, he fretted that Democratic Senator John Fetterman had gone “off message” by refusing to echo it. Is the CNN motto still "Facts First"? Or is it "Keeping the Democrats On Message"? Fetterman said: “I would never refer to the SAVE Act as Jim Crow 2.0 I don't call people names or imply that...

“But let’s not miss the fact that we have coordinated, well-funded, and I think insurgencies or terrorist organizations, however you want to call it, literally trying to prevent legal laws from being enforced in the United States.”U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott testifying before Congress on February 10, 2026. The man speaks truth.The mainstream media continues to push the narrative that all we are seeing are “peaceful protests”.

"The South Carolina GOP senator is using golf, good humor and frequent White House visits to try to influence foreign policy and keep Trump close as he faces a primary challenge.I’m his north star,” Graham told NBC News in an interview this week, a bold remark few in his party would dare make. “We disagree, but he knows where I am coming from. He sees me helping him as much as anybody in the Senate.” ADVERTISING Late last month, Graham temporarily blocked a $1.2 trillion deal to avert a government shutdown. Asked by reporters why he would block something that...

President Trump sent Tom Homan to Minneapolis to declare victory and go home, and so he has. Trump’s border czar announced the end of the ICE surge that had roiled the city and our national politics. Homan says ICE is getting more cooperation from county jails in handing over incarcerated illegal aliens, and immigration authorities have detained many of the illegal immigrants they had been targeting. It’s not clear how extensive the supposed new cooperation is, but Homan certainly forged a better relationship with state and city officials. The big story here is that semiorganized resistance on the streets, with...

Desperate to avoid possible prosecution for her role in the corruption that has stolen billions of taxpayer's dollars from federal welfare programs, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) called President Trump "the leader of the Pedophile Protection Party who is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them." Reminded that Trump has sued others for defamatory statements, Omar pointed out that "the US Constitution says in Article I, Section 6 that members of Congress are immune--they may not be questioned in any other place for what they...

Classic movies resonate because they reflect what we understand in our guts to be true. Silence of the Lambs featured Buffalo Bill, a transgender serial killer who skinned women so he could wear their skin. Driven by the liberal establishment’s promotion of LGBTism, the rapidly expanding Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors has confirmed the movie’s underlying insight. Yet now Hollyweird apologizes for it. Via Hollywood Reporter: Silence of the Lambs surprised the industry as an Oscar-winning, generation-defining smash. But over the years, the characterization of Buffalo Bill (whose sexual orientation is not explicitly stated) has been viewed as gender nonconforming...

A sassy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent was seen putting a female protester in her place as she tried to interject during the arrest of an alleged child rapist in Minnesota. The incident, posted to TikTok on Friday by Olivia Jensen, showed her recording federal officers from inside her car as she called them 'race traitors'. She filmed herself driving behind the federal vehicle before the officers approached her driver's-side door and addressed her by her first name. Jensen then said she would continue to follow the officers, before asking them: 'How's it feel to be a race traitor?'...

WOW! On Sunday I had perhaps the BEST BBQ wings of my life. You can see them above in a big circle around my new BBQ accessory. I dry brined the wings on Saturday with a mix of kosher salt and baking powder to keep the salinity level low. I kept them on raised two wire racks in the fridge overnight. The next day I put the wings in a big bowl and added a few table spoons of olive oil. Then I thoroughly coated the wings with about a 50/50 mix of Polynesian Pineapple rub and smoked paprika. I...

For very many years now, prominent American liberals have delighted in playing footsie with Eurotrash globalists. Democrats hate America, and increasingly irrelevant European leaders love hearing them bash their own country when visiting. It's been a safe place for demented lefties like Hillary Clinton ever since she's been soiling American politics. Not all European leaders are besties with the seditious Dems, of course, it's just the loudest ones. Or it was just the loudest ones. As once glorious nations like England and France casually invite their invaders in and assist in the takeover, other members of the European Union have...

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez incorrectly stated on Sunday that Venezuela is “below the equator” while she criticized President Donald Trump’s administration for capturing former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. Ocasio-Cortez argued at Technical University of Berlin’s TEDx event that the administration could not engage in a so-called “act of war” simply because Venezuela is south of the Equator, though Venezuela is located north of the equator. The U.S. captured Maduro in a special operations mission called Operation Absolute Resolve on Jan. 3 and charged him in Manhattan with narco-terrorism and cocaine importation conspiracy, weapon offenses and corruption. “We look...

Deni Avdija is the first Israeli basketball star to play in the NBA's All-Star Game, as a starter for Team World. Avdija is proud to be there, telling the media, "It's a dream come true," to represent Israel on the court. But because sports cannot be free of politics, this is how filmmaker Spike Lee showed up at the game, decked out in "Free Palestine" garb. Simply incredible.

After the first contest of the 2026 NBA All-Star Game -- which featured a brand new format with two USA teams and one World team -- ended, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was asked by the NBC broadcast about wanting the ball on the first possession of overtime. Edwards didn't directly answer the question, but his response was telling. Edwards admitted that Victor Wembanyama "set the tone," and it was hard not to match his energy. It was a stark contrast to Edwards' comments on the eve of the NBA All-Star Game, when he directly said "no" when asked if the...

Lesson: Always take out the commies when they are about to collapse under the sheer weight of their malignant incompetence. They must be held to account. They have infiltrated our society through their Dirección de Inteligencia (DI), the Intelligence Directorate.
