  • Executive Orders, how to be used after next election? - (vanity)

    12/11/2015 10:46:11 AM PST · by Terry L Smith · 28 replies
    The American people have seven years worth of examples in the usage of 'executive orders', both within and without of USC Title Code. As each President has built upon the foundation of the usage of these orders from the preceding Presidents, to include the innumerable workings of the sitting President, how do you, the reader, foresee the executive order workings of a future President Trump?
  • Labor Day Weekend Hot Dog Thread

    09/06/2015 9:18:01 AM PDT · by Terry L Smith · 60 replies
    It is Labor Day Weekend, the last gasp for some before the soup/stew/casserole season comes. So, I am interested in knowing how many of you are going to, or already have, enjoyed a 'good hot dog', made the way that 'is the norm' in your region, (and believe I know there are particulars, as per region)? Or have you just 'winged it', and created a new way to enjoy your hot dog? Whether it is grilled, boiled, fried, or steamed, with a flat-cut bun, or a New England style bun, or even just plain slices of white bread, with anything...
  • Sheila jackson Lee does it again!

    MSNBC: And let’s talk a little about that, congresswoman, because the fact is, as you said on this hearing you attended just last week there are very real threats, terrorist threats against Americans, and even right here in the homeland. How concerned are you about that reality in our future? SJL: Jose, I have — I call it a privilege. It certainly was a tragic privilege of serving on the homeland security committee since the heinous acts of 9/11. Many of us were there on the first opening day gavel of this committee. I had the onerous responsibility of visiting...
  • VAMC Alexandria, LA. Drops Services 10/06/2014

    09/30/2014 7:16:57 AM PDT · by Terry L Smith · 8 replies
    According to the Louisiana regional news website, The Town Talk, the Alexandria V.A.M.C., the only Louisiana V.A. hospital between the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Shreveport, has reported that it's Urgent Care Clinic will be changing it's hours of operation, from a 24-hour operation, to the hours of 8 A.M. to 8 P.M., Monday through Friday, and 8A.M. to 6P.M., on weekends and holidays. The line given, now, is: "The Urgent Care Clinic offers care for cold and flu symptons, high and low blood pressure/blood sugar, and stitches." A few weeks ago, I had a low blood sugar...
  • Orleans Parish Schools begin school day with World Pledge

    09/20/2013 6:27:42 AM PDT · by Terry L Smith · 40 replies
    I was witness, as a Texas to Mississippi morning radio broadcast received a call from an undisclosed educator weithin the Orleans Parish, Louisiana, school system, around 0630 this morning, announce to the world, that the school system starts the school day, NOT ONLY with The Pledge of Allegiance, but with "The World Pledge"!!! Here are the words of "The World Pledge", and I quote: " I pledge allegiance to Humanity, and to the World that gives us life, one People, united in diversity, and one World, united in peace, with freedom and dignity for all." What kind of un-American nonsense...
  • Hi Folks! I'm back!

    07/14/2013 10:39:20 AM PDT · by Terry L Smith · 21 replies
    Well, it's been 96 hours of no news, (which for a news junkie is quite an astounding feat)! Let's see .... The thug Martin, through a useless and unnecessary waste of broadcast resources, was found to be legally shot by a law-abiding American. So what! The person named Sharpton, again, has proved to be an unendung insult of the title 'reverend', ever since the Tawana Brawley fiasco in NYC, in which he was found to be lying and deceitful, and made up the whole thing. The American citizen named Zimmerman has now been thrust into the very role played by...
  • I'm going on a 96-hour hiatus!

    Folks, I'm taking a hiatus, to celebrate my status, fer sure, as any sexagenarian should on or about that day. I'll be around, and if not, it's been fun! Don't foret: 07/18 is National Tapioca Pudding Day, (I can remember the smell from the tapioca processing plants, between U-Tapao and Bang Chiang) 07/21 National Junk Food Day 07/22 National Hot Dog Day 07/29 National Lasagna Day 07/30 National Cheesecake Day Raise a mug of java. Long Live The Republic! Long Live The Republic!
  • The President is AWOL, again!

    06/06/2013 2:34:30 PM PDT · by Terry L Smith · 39 replies
    Our Commander in Chief is AWOL, again! It is now, June 6, 2013, 16:13 CDT, well after the close of the business day in Washington, D.C. Across the ocean, it is 23:12, in Normandy, France. All the commemorations of this hallowed day, in 1944, have come and ceased, closing out the 69th anniversary of the Allied D-Day invasion of Fortress Europe, to make free, again, those who have become oppressed and made slaves to the Occupied Europe of the German Nazi Third Reich. Our sitting President, without fail, has now, for a third time, since his re-election, failed to appear,...
  • Memorial Day 2013

    05/23/2013 7:38:36 AM PDT · by Terry L Smith · 20 replies
    Memorial Day, 2013. The year is 2013. 337 years after we declared our independence from the reigning monarchy of Great Britain. What are we memorializing this government-sanctioned three day weekend, which was precisely at one time, May 30th, the actual date? Are we memorializing our war dead, specifically those Unknown Soldiers, who died defending what today might be looked upon by many, as our 'lost rights'? Are we memorializing those that died, who believed that America, in their time on Earth, was 'the land of the free, and the home of the brave'? Or, are we, now, memorializing car purchase...
  • It Happens In Pairs

    05/19/2013 1:21:23 PM PDT · by Terry L Smith · 9 replies
    A lot of folks believe that a lot of things, both great and small, in the history of their recorded lives, or the recorded history of a nation, happens "in threes". I beg to differ, and to explain.
  • Where is the "Great" Bobby Jindal?

    01/20/2013 8:25:06 AM PST · by Terry L Smith · 32 replies
    Since the uproar from the Sandy hook school shootings, to the "Edicts Ex Cathedra" from the purported self-crowned ala Napoleon king, President Obama, we here in Louisiana have not heard one word from our supposed Governor, Piyush "Bobby" Jindal! If you were to search the media accolades, they have endeared themselves to this fine outstanding anchor baby example of Americana. From the same man that extolled the virtues of change within the Republican Party, after the 2012 election, where is he standing now, when other States are standing up for the Second Amendment rights of their citizens? Why is he...
