Today I got up and went on my computer with my coffee, as I usually do. But today was a special day; the 2017 annual March For Life. To be truthful, even though I am pro-life, I havenÂ’t really paid much attention to it in previous years. Now that Trump is president, and I am a supporter, I have been very active on Twitter and Facebook. The fact that we have a pro-life president and vice president is totally inspiring. Women like myself who believe life begins at conception feel hope again. Naturally, I went on Twitter right away today...

Oh, the unfairness of it all! My candidate, Hillary Lying-piece-of-crap Clinton, was not voted into the highest office of presidency! What shall I do? Well, first, We’ll help contribute to a social media firestorm. We’ll organize a bunch of like-minded buttheads and it will be epic! Bonus: The teachers where I go to college are only too glad to help! They cancel classes, give us hot chocolate and tissues, and remind us there is therapy dogs every other Wednesday to help our bruised ego’s cope with the outcome we did not expect! We will then riot in the streets, break...

Congratulations! In the last 10 days, Five Dallas police officers and three officers from Baton Rouge, La, are dead. Another officer in Missouri was ambushed and is fighting for his life. Many others, police officers and civilians, have been wounded. Police fear for their lives. You, the liberal self- white-hating media, Black Lives Matter, and the racist/divider in chief Obama, have created pandemonium in this country. With the constant, biased reporting of black men being shot by white police officers, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the divider-in-chief, Obama, we are now headed toward and all-out race war in this...

Actor Jesse Williams of Grey’s Anatomy took the opportunity at the BET awards while receiving his humanitarian award to beat down white people, promote Black Lives Matter, and generally just condemn white America for everything wrong with black society. This is nothing new, of course. We see this kind of anti-white hatred all the time. And the self-hating white liberal media is practically orgasmic congratulating and tweeting Williams on what a great speech it was. But I thought it might be useful to decipher this speech, because frankly, it screams of anti-white racism. Peace peace. Thank you, Debra. Thank you,...

Why I Can’t Stand Author Piper Kerman of Orange is the New Black Piper Kerman’s Orange is the New Black was a best seller several years ago, which spawned a popular Netflix T.V. series of the same name. Less than 50 pages into the book I couldn’t stand her. Her behavior and attitude later in the book confirmed that feeling. The actual charge she does time for doesn’t bother me nearly as much as what kind of person Piper is – and isn’t. Among other things, Piper Kerman is a self-centered elitist snob, and I straight up do not like...

The Denial About Super Bowl 50 Having a Gay Agenda is Laughable! It all started with this simple statement. “How about this: God is Love. I believe we should have had a cross with the same words "Believe in Love" without the rainbow. Got a problem with that?” That’s what I wrote in response to an article written in the Huffington Post the day after the Super Bowl, entitled, “To Those Bothered By The 'Gay Agenda' At Super Bowl 50.” If you’re not in the know, a huge rainbow flag with the words, “Believe in Love” was prominently featured at...

Every year many of us do it. Make those same, predictable, boring resolutions. We keep making these same resolutions year after year...and don't stick with them, so I’ve come up with a more reasonable list of resolutions for 2015. 1. Eat more carbs. You’re going to anyway. Why suffer without bread, potatoes, and for God’s sake, even orange juice. We all like our carbs and you should be sure you include them in every meal. You’ve been eating them all along, and you probably don’t weigh 400 pounds, so who cares? 2.Forget exercising. You’ll waste your money joining a gym...

All right, before you get your freckles in an uproar by reading that title and making a quick, errant assumption about me, let me clarify a few things. I’m a bible believing, spirit filled Christian. I am not an atheist sympathizer. I do not doubt my faith, nor do I have any doubts about the deity of Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior, and I believe the world is lost without Him. For years I celebrated Christmas. But last year, I decided to stop celebrating it. Something awoke in me, and I just felt turned off by the...

Oprah is misleading a lot of people with her wacky views on Christianity. She claims to be a Christian, but her beliefs are indeed, very flawed. Recently I saw a clip of her talking about Jesus and she said Jesus did not come to die on the cross; that his meaning here was for the “Christ Consciousness,” whatever that means. I’m guessing she means he came here to teach us how to act, how to live and how to be Christ like. That’s all very nice and comforting and eliminates the need for a savior. Just act like Jesus would,...

How do people let themselves get to be 100 pounds overweight? I suppose for everyone the story is a little different; here’s mine. First, before delving into the years of weight gain, I realized recently I was in denial about my weight and just how heavy I was. At 270 pounds, it just wasn’t sinking in that I was a hundred pounds overweight. It was after seeing recent pictures of myself that I realized just how heavy I was. I’m fairly tall, at 5’9”. I’ve always carried my weight pretty well. I’m top heavy, so that accounts for some of...

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Thursday granting illegal immigrants driver’s licenses, in a decision immigrant rights groups hailed as a major step forward for their movement. The country’s largest state becomes the latest to reverse course and grant legal driving privileges to illegal immigrants.

I just knew something was going to go wrong. Even though I had my paperwork in hand, all 4,327 pieces of it – which I needed to prove that I was indeed an American, and did indeed have a driver’s license from Pennsylvania that was legit – I knew, somehow, when I got to the BMV – that being Bureau of Motor Vehicles as they call it here in Ohio – that it would not go smoothly. And I was correct. All I had to do was change my license over from PA to Ohio. That’s it. First, being the...

Chris Lane, 22, Duncan, Oklahoma. David Santucci, age 27, Memphis, Tennessee. Delbert Belton, 88, Spokane Washington. So, what do these men have in common? They were each white and each murdered in cold blood by black savages. But you have not heard – and will not hear – their names on a daily basis in the media. Unlike the Trayvon Martin case, these men were white. Unlike Trayvon Martin, they were not pounding the head of a so-called white Hispanic into the ground. The media was in a perpetual state of orgasm for months while covering the Zimmerman trial. Nothing...

After living in Ohio for almost nine months, I decided to finally get around to changing my PA driver’s license, registration and plates changed over to Ohio. I pretty much just thought I’d walk into the BMV – that’s what it’s called here – Bureau of Motor Vehicles – and get it all done on the spot. This was not to be. A friend who I was complaining to about this process said all of that changed after 9/11. This is why, when you move out of state, (and I strongly do not recommend it) you need to give up...

I’ve been living in Ohio for over eight months now, and it was about time I changed car insurance as I still had my Pennsylvania policy. So, I made a few calls to get some quotes. First, I called Travelers, and their price was about the same as what I’d been paying, maybe a few dollars less. Not worth all the hassle to change. Then I called my current company, Progressive, and found out I could save some money by dropping something called “Medical Expenses.” I learned it was costing me $82 a year, and while Pennsylvania requires you have...

It came on Good Friday, a gift from God and U.S District Judge Deborah Batts. The lawsuit by American Atheists seeking to ban the cross found at Ground Zero from being displayed in a museum has been tossed out, and the cross will be permitted to stay. The fact that this ruling came on the holiest week of the year for Christians is a delicious irony, one that I can bask in for months, possibly even years to come. I thank God for the sensibility of Judge Batts. Those fun-loving folks over at American Atheists – who despise any and...

There is perhaps no group besides American Atheists and the ACLU who consistently challenge Christian signs, symbols and Christian tradition more than the Freedom From Religion Foundation, FFRF. The group has been victorious in many lawsuits and is a thorn in the side to many Christians who find their tactics to be militant atheism, and indeed, they are right. This week, FFRF is proudly commemorating the 65-year Anniversary of McCollum vs. Board of Education on March 8th, a landmark Supreme Court decision which banned religious studies in public schools. The case was brought by atheist Vashti McCollum whose son attended...

As an Ohioan and a conservative, I am in favor of Governor John Kasich's move to expand Medicaid. Kasich had opposed President Obama's healthcare reform law and many conservatives are up in arms over his proposal.

There was a time when 10 Commandment displays sat untouched in government halls and schools, when Nativity scenes were placed in parks and in front of government buildings, and when children sang traditional Christmas songs at holiday concerts. I remember my elementary school calendar, which read, “Christmas Vacation” marking a week or so off for the Christmas season. Slowly and methodically, it’s all disappearing thanks primarily to two organizations that are on a mission to eradicate any vestige of God – particularly Jesus Christ – from the public square. The Madison, Wisconsin based Freedom From Religion Foundation, (FFRF) and American...

"We know that a large population of 'Christians' are actually atheists who feel trapped in their family's religion. If you know god is a myth, you do not have to lie and call yourself 'Christian' in order to have a festive holiday season. You can be merry without the myth, and indeed, you should," said David Silverman, President of American Atheists.
