As most of you know, my time is generally not my own these days -- I am a web producer for the NBC station in Atlanta, plus at this time of year, I'm also a tax preparer for H&R Block. Plus I always keep a side-hustle of some sort or another (I've been doing a lot of mystery shopping the past year or so)... In any event, sometimes God reaches out and rattles the cage to remind me who's truly in charge. I received a phone call yesterday that truly rocked my core. My 42-year-old younger brother had suffered a...

Last year, it was the runaway bride that put the town of Duluth on the media map. This year, the town is back in the spotlight. But this time, it's all because of a patriotic little girl and her great big American flag. Duluth is as patriotic a town as you will find. On the Fourth of July and Memorial Day, the city puts out hundreds of flags. But right now, just one has captivated the city of Duluth and the nation. The one on Whitney Place, in the middle of the street -- as big as American pride, but...

Live on Fox: Well, at least I held my ownLast night, I appeared on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes in a "debate" (and I use the term loosely, it was more like an ambush than anything else) with New York City Councilman Charles "I Wanna Slap The Nearest White Person For My Mental Health" Barron.Project 21 put out a press release Monday, which strongly criticized a Jesse Jackson's earlier this month in Boston. In the speech, Jackson accused the US Military of "murder," called for the impeachment of the President, and called for both UN sanctions and military action...

Michael King of Ramblings' Journal is pulling the plug on his MuNu blog, which I've linked to often. He recommends you check out the rest of the Conservative Brotherhood, as well as The Dead Pool and Blogcritics. Farewell, Michael and best of luck in your new endeavors.

"Goodbye, farewell and amen" Life's changes are always such that you never expect them, and they take a minute or three to get used to when they occur. My life is taking a turn now that is forcing me to give up writing Ramblings' Journal. I've accepted a new position that will preclude me from continuing my writings here. So I'm pulling the plug on R/J in order to focus on the new opportunity that has been placed before me. Contrary to the opinions of others, I'm not running for office (I don't have the patience), nor am I joining...

I'm set to go on Bill O'Reilly's talkfest tonight on Fox News Channel. Tonight's subject has to do with a local Atlanta case where a mother killed her own five-week old baby by shaking her to death in December of 1998.34 year-old Carissa Ashe pleaded guilty to a charge of voluntary manslaughter last week in Fulton County Superior Court, bringing to an end her murder trial.Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes sentenced Ashe to five years probation and to have a sterilization procedure performed in order to prevent her from having any more children. Ashe has had two more children since...

February 01, 2005 US GI hostage story and photo faked; MSM falls for it--again Looks like this was a fake, now that we've seen the photo, and kudos are due to A Small Victory, Wizbang and Free Republic for calling it. It looks like this was a GI Joe-type doll on sale on the internet. Note the face, plus the gun and the fact that you don't see anyone's hands in the photo. In addition, the Pentagon has verified that no soldiers are missing presently. Score another one for the new media, as the MSM gets scammed again. Posted by...

Well, let's do it again.I'm set to be on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes tonight in the 9:15 segment. The subject this time around is Ketchup Boy's "lack of diversity."Darryl Fears has a piece in this morning's Washington Post where he discusses "concerns" among black America with John Kerry's lack of outreach among blacks in America."You pick up the paper . . . and you see a picture where he's surrounded by all whites," Ronald Walters, a University of Maryland political scientist who helped run two presidential campaigns, said of Kerry. "That's sensitive to black Democrats. It raises questions...
