    Lauren Boebert, who burst on to the national stage earlier this year when she confronted Democratic presidential candidate Robert Francis O’Rourke in Colorado over his extremist anti-gun proposals, announced today that she is running for U.S. Congress as Republican in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.

    Al Qaeda calls in to make a terroristic threat to America. The line goes "Click!" and a recording says "American is not accepting these types of calls. Nothing is more terrorising than our current candidates. Please hang up and try again later.
  • It’s Time For Some “Gun Control”.

    07/14/2011 7:27:16 AM PDT · by Old Student · 23 replies
    Since its modern mutation in 1968 (via the “Gun Control Act of 1968), and with an infusion of power to it in 1972 by Treasury Department Order No. 120-1, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) has amassed a truly sordid record of “gun control.” Although it’s website somewhat outlandishly claims a history going back to 1789, BATFE’s modern roots go to its failed attempts at the enforcement of Prohibition (another stupid idea from the federal government). There’s hardly anything as pathetic as a bloated government agency, in search of a mission. So the “BAT” got their...

    This question was raised by a reporter during a news conference with the White House Press Secretary. I thought it was a damnded good one to ask. Afterall, AZ's law doesn't conflict with policy. JMHO. There are, however, several cities and states that have policies that do.

    Saif Abdallah says his inventions have helped kill or maim scores, possibly hundreds, of Americans. For more than four years, he has been developing remote-control devices that Sunni insurgents use to detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs), the roadside bombs that are the No. 1 killer of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. The only time he ever felt a pang of regret was in the spring of 2006, when he heard that the Pentagon, in a bid to fight the growing IED menace, had roped in a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Abdallah, an electronics engineer by training,...

    I'm Hot. That's what Kristen Maddox's tank top declares, in bold red letters. MOLLY CORFMAN / Knight Ridder News Service Madeleine Maddox (above) holds a T-shirt that promotes Helping Our Troops, a group founded by her daughter, Kristen. The group sends personalized care packages to U.S. soldiers stationed overseas. She's gotten marriage proposals from admiring visitors to her Web site. Maddox may be 21 and she may be attractive, but she isn't trolling for dates. Her heart belongs to U.S. troops. "I want them to understand that my generation cares," Maddox said. The "Hot" stands for "Helping Our Troops," a...

    "When I first saw that, I was taken aback," says Greene, 51, a long time volunteer with her son's former Boy Scout troop in San Leandro. "I remember thinking, 'Why?"' The image on the shirt shows a row of rocks hurtling through the air toward a stick-figure boy's head. Harmless humor or injurious insult? Opinions differ, but consumers have embraced anti-boy products, such as the "throw rocks" T-shirt created by Clearwater, Fla.-based David and Goliath, which also markets journals with the same slogan, pajamas that read "Boys are smelly" and T-shirts emblazoned with "Lobotomy: How to train boys." It's a...
