    I'm contracting for a "high-tech" company who is now mandating all employees and contractors get the jab. Not sure how I'm going to fight this, but it's interesting that the military has issued a similar statement today. This is where my rubber meets the road. Advice from you all is welcome except for the "just get another job".

    The company I currently work for uses Symantec Cyber Security. After giving up the Drudge Report, I started using Liberty Net Daily. This Friday (LND) was blocked (Drudge is not). When asked why, they gave some BS activism response. To their biasing credit, they also banned DU. For the last several years I don't log into FreeRepublic from work computers but lurk all day long. Just wondering how long it will be until we come up on the list and does anyone have a plan for if it does?

    Hello All,This weekend my band is playing a benefit for Military/Veteran Car Show. A very patriotic event. I'll be singing the National Anthem and have the opportunity to say something, hopefully inspiring. That's where I need you all. Anyone have advice on what would be appropriate? Being 9/10 I would like to say something strong without mentioning the 500lb gorilla in the room (Islam) directly, and Lord help me if I see a Kaepernick jersey.

    We picked up a Sony DSC RX100 and I was wondering what the techies on this board are using for video editing software. I do a solo musician thing and wanted to splice live clips together to create a montage of songs. I was thinking of the fade in, fade out thing. Also hoping for something free off the internet. Any help would be appreciated.

    MSNBC
    Listening to MSNBC (through Ameritrade) pump up Facebook's opening. From a female interviewer; "Why are the execs selling their shares?" The answer "Blah blah blah blah" Then she says; "Well I'll be buying their shares". Another pundit equates Facebook with Elvis of the 50's and the Beatles of the 60's. Also all the blather of wealth creation and how the taxes will be good for California.

    I don't know if anyone else caught this, but it seems like Flo TV still can't get over the 2000 election. From their commercial at around 38 seconds they flash Bush, then no war for oil protesters, and then Algore shown winning Florida.

    Consider the Beretta .32 cal Tomcat as a carry piece. Small size being it's greatest benefit. Does anyone know the effective stopping power? Ads claim that with hollow points it is as effective as a .380. How effective is that? I wonder if this gun could wind up being a lawsuit maker rather than a lifesaver. Any opinions?

    On July 13, 2006, the City of Hazleton made history. City Council passed an ordinance that intends to make Hazleton one of the toughest places in the country for illegal aliens by fining landlords who rent to and companies who knowingly hire illegal aliens. After suffering through several high-profile crimes involving illegal aliens, we've sent a clear message that we've had enough. Hazleton is working to take back our streets, our neighborhood, and our community. But there are those who are trying to stop us. Several groups have come forward to say Hazleton doesn't have the right to protect itself....

    Man has range in yard. Bushkill Twp. officials to revisit creating ordinance regulating recreational shooting. The arrival of police officers at the Bushkill Township house was hardly a surprise. Nearly every time Alan Birtchet or his sons have fired guns in their backyard practice range since moving in a year ago, neighbors have called police, and Saturday was no exception.
