Why are we not looking to our military for strategies on how to defend our schools? They are the ones who have the training - no one else does. Shouldn't our focus be on the defense of our schools? How many military personnel have been on TV to be interviewed? None. Some areas to be assessed: 1) location 2) building lay-out 3) who has access (list of problem individuals) 3) personnel available to look, listen, report 4) response to an invasion Every school community has a large pool of willing individual volunteers who could give some hours to patrol each...

With the focus on political talk shows in the wake of the BOR episode, it's a good time to consider another format, one that Buckley kept alive 33 years.

A Dana Kamide 4 minute video using It's A Wonderful Life to launch a very polished, heartwarming, yet hardhitting look at the election.

First time for me at a family gathering where the host (Liberal), as we were standing ready to eat, at the time when always somebody would suggest someone lead a prayer, said: "Each person please say your own thanks or prayer if you choose to yourself." Anybody else? Is this Trump backlash?

But when the Justice Department does pursue a case, it often relies on a statute that bars the unlawful removal and retention of classified documents. That low-level charge, meant for cases in which defendants improperly hold onto information that they know to be classified, carries a fine and maximum yearlong prison sentence and is reserved for people who have "really, really screwed up," Vladeck said. Other, more serious laws make it a crime to knowingly disclose classified information to someone not authorized to receive it, and threaten punishment for anyone who through "gross negligence" allows national defense information to be...

Here are the GOP governors. Donald Trump has stated that he wants someone who knows government, and could step in if need be. Can we give some observations of our own governor to help us determine if that person might make a good VP pick?

I learned of this site today at the irreplaceable One Peter Five by Steve Skojec [ http://www.onepeterfive.com/ ]. The site follows the Drudge format, with a page of links to stories and websites. This will be of most interest to Catholic Conservatives faithful to the Magisterium.

Palin endorses Trump: No-one will be more visibly filled with elitist too-cute-by-half smarm than FOX's Megyn Kelly, or Nicole Wallace, or Kathleen Parker. And no-one will be more visibly filled with rabid hatred than the same Wall Street cocktail class GOPe crew... The same professional political class (GOPe) voices who accused Donald Trump of sexism, misogyny and vitriol, will now be baited to the surface to expose their sexism, misogyny, vitriol and elitism. Watch... There are trillions at stake, and the endorsement of Sarah Palin identifies a very specific strategy. Donald Trump will campaign for office, Sarah Palin will campaign...

Taharrush gamea or collective sexual harassment is a type of sexual harassment in crowds. Reports by the North Rhine-Westphalia interior ministry and the German Federal Criminal Police Office attributed the New Year's Eve sexual assaults in Germany to the practice. Taharrush gamea is noted in Egypt as a kind of lighter sexual abuse or gang rape and occurred during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 in the unrest at Tahrir Square, where Egyptian women and in some cases foreign journalists were surrounded by groups of young men, often having been touched with sexual intent and partly undressed, stripped naked and gang...

You might be noting the corporate media selling a "surging Cruz" nipping on the heels of Donald Trump narrative. Be thankful... You might also be noting the corporate media selling a "more palatable Chris Christie" narrative as an option to the vulgarian uprising represented in Donald Trump. Again, be thankful... One goal is to make Chris Christie a palatable alternative to Trump. Target the Republican voter who will never support Jeb but is vulnerable to the media influence creating fear of Trump. Hence today, 12/22/15, their push is: The vulgarian Trump "is an embarrassment"... One goal is to elevate Ted...

We have recently noted exactly why Donald Trump asks the media to pan the crowd, and the ideological reasoning the MSM production staff refuse to comply... Any average hard-working American could crush every one of the GOPe candidates, yes all of them. And if the GOPe want to go down the intellectual superiority path… well, you reach a point where that stuff becomes useless... We are 21 Trillion steps down that path, right at THAT POINT... Yet for the better part of the past decade a group of intellectual something-or-others have been teaching an insufferable storyline that it’s better to...

Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, John Kasich and Mike Huckabee can all be counted on to give their small delegate counts to Jeb Bush later in the race. However, the non-GOPe candidates Trump, Cruz and possibly Ben Carson are currently polling beyond the GOPe group. Fox Poll Example: GOPe Collective = 27% (Rubio 11, + Bush 3, + Christie 3, + Fiorina 3, + Paul 3, + Kasich 2, + Huckabee 1, + Santorum 1 = 27) Non-GOPe Collective = 66% (Trump 39, + Cruz 18, + Carson 9 = 66) So what we are now seeing is two...

May I propose that Freepers pledge a daily prayer for Donald Trump for his protection? Think of his enemies: El Chapo and his henchmen and La Raza, ISIS and their legions, Soros and the Globalists, Wall Street, the Democratic Party, etal. So much hinges on this one man, and everybody is increasingly aware of this. May we simply ask Almighty God to protect Donald Trump from harm each day?

Three months before the historic announcement in December that the U.S. would re-establish full diplomatic relations with Cuba, Havana’s Cardinal Jaime Ortega made a trip to the White House and hand delivered a letter from Pope Francis to President Barack Obama. The meeting was sensitive enough to be kept under the radar - the Cuban cardinal’s name did not appear in the White House visitors’ log. The pope’s letter, addressed to Obama, offered to “help in any way possible” in negotiations with Cuba.... A key player, according to the authors: The Trimpa Group, a lobbying business with offices in Denver...

Many people who have not followed the construct of the RNC/GOP plan as it originated (November/December 2013 – through the construction in May/June 2014 and end result in April ’15) are fundamentally misunderstanding the origin of the GOPe Roadmap to elect Jeb Bush.... The road map was originally contingent upon Graham, Fiorina, Perry, Rubio, Christie, Huckabee, Gilmore, Pataki and Kasich staying in the race through at least March 2nd 2016. Hence Super-PACs were established to keep them funded through the point of their usefulness. Obviously things so far have not gone quite as planned/preferred. Specific issues messing up the plan:...

Washington (AP) - There is a growing trend in the arena of psychological pathology called Conflation Disorder (CD) in which a person conflates one object, or incident, or person, with another. An NBC anchorman, Brian Williams, recently confessed to conflating being on a helicopter in Iraq which was forced down by enemy fire, with riding a helicopter into that same area under perfectly safe conditions, sipping an Old Fashion and reading Voltaire. A Stanford University Professor, caught in a seedy motel with a coed, had actually conflated the voluptuous 19 year old blond with his 60 year old girthy wife,...

Jobim's Guide to Imbibe: Rule 1: imbibe only and always with endorphins Rule 2: imbibe only while walking Rule 3: imibe only 2 pints of decent brew I run, or walk fast with Nordic poles for 4 miles, working up a good sweat and percolating the endorphins. Then I pick up 2 pints at the store, and drink them on the 2 mile walk home, finishing under the stars. I defy anyone to improve on my routine, finally discovered at this ripe old age of 62 & retirement.
