I work 12 hours/day and 7 days a week. I don't have the time to watch these shenanigans, as entertaining or not, they may be. I was just wondering if what happened today can be summarized?

I received word from 2ndDivisionVet wife that he passed away. I am not using his real name here out of respect but, will ping his handle and his wife can if she would like. I didn't ask what he died from but, knowing him for better than 10 years, I knew of medical conditions and a few terrible Operations he had. He was a wonderful human being who cared deeply for his fellow Americans and the ideals that make this country so great that people the world over want to come here and be free, live in liberty and be...

Syria: Chinese Uyghurs Killing Russian Spies According to Turkey's Plan It's a Zionist conspiracy, of course Charles Paul Freund | October 3, 2015 So while enormous numbers of Syrian refugees are attempting to get out of the Middle East and into Europe, what is happening in the empty villages they have left behind? According to Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based satellite news service, at least some of the abandoned villages in northern Syria are filling up with the families of Muslim Chinese Uyghurs. These Uyghurs, claims the report, are entering the country along with their wives and children to fight alongside...

Rachel Dolezal, the race faker and former NAACP leader who was discovered to actually be white, has revealed that she is bisexual. Dolezal - who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016 - took to her social media to share that 'it still matters to stay visible' even though she was in 'no rush' to be in a relationship. 'My first kiss was with a girl when I was 18,' she said in the post. 'I am bisexual. Just because I have been married (briefly) to a man or have had children by male partners does not mean...

Meet Danyela D’Angelo a 93 pound 15-year-old girl who’s become a master shooter of all firearms. Seriously, she's shot everything from the massive 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum revolver to all sorts of submachine guns. You can catch her firing up the .50 cal Desert Eagle like a boss.

She also competes shooting with AR’s and race guns. You don't believe us take a look at this 15 yr...

So Wednesday a funny thing happened on the hill as leftist morons decided to "Mock President Trump" by inflating a giant inflatable Chicken with a Trump style hairdo on it. They did this to send a signal about Trump "Playing Chicken with North Korea". This would be akin to Chamberlain Supporters in England right before world war II putting a inflatable chicken with a hat on it's head and a cigar in it's mouth to mock Winston Churchill for "Playing chicken with the NAZIs" Immediately the internet meme patrols on 4chan and the Reddit The_Donald got to work subverting it...

"Eretz Asher Hashem Elokecha Doresh Osa; Tamid Einei Hashem Elokecha Bah, Mereishis Hashana v'Ad Acharis Shana" (Devarim 11,12) The soldiers in Gaza are switched out with other units in order to rest. This story was told by one of these soldiers. "I and my friends captured a number of Hamas terrorists. When they were interrogated, we asked them, if you have so many tunnels that come into Israel, and that are built 25 feet under the ground and reach to Beer Sheva, why until now have you never used any of them for terrorist attacks? To kidnap or kill Israelis?...

AS SEEN ON TV – THE “SO?” SHIRTPosted by Gavin • 03.05.12 11:50 pm Andrew Breitbart leaves behind a widow and four children. I wrote an obit for him here but the crux of it is… When I was on Greg’s show Red Eye with Breitbart we were asked what we thought of Trump sponsoring a GOP debate. Greg and I had the knee-jerk reaction of scoffing at the whole thing. When Breitbart asked us what was so funny we said, “Well, it’s obviously just some rich guy showboating.” Then he taught me a word I never really paid attention...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Demi Moore is ending her marriage to fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, she told The Associated Press Thursday. Moore, 49, and Kutcher, 33, were wed in September 2005. The couple's relationship became tabloid fodder in recent months as rumors swirled about Kutcher's alleged infidelity. "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton.

The economy is so bad that African television stations are showing 'Sponsor an American Child' commercials! The economy is so bad, a picture is now only worth 200 words. It's so bad, Snoop Dogg had to start eating regular brownies. The economy is so bad, I saw the CEO of Wal-Mart shopping at Wal-Mart. The economy is so bad, I went to my bank the other day and the teller handed me a note saying, "This is a robbery!" The economy is so bad, George W. Bush appeared in a flight suit and declared economic recovery was complete. The economy...

In the April issue of GQ, the always candid Shia LaBeouf lets it be known that he's still bitter about the way the media handled his widely-publicized car crash in 2008. Although he was initially arrested in Los Angeles on a misdemeanor drunk driving charge, a couple of days later it was announced that Shia was not at fault in the accident, which left him with a severely injured left hand. "I'd be watching the news, and they'd play my car crash, and every once in a while Kim Kardashian's sister [Khloe] would jump on TV and preach to me...

Fabulous analysis of Obummer's icon. Take some time to digest this information, then get it out there.

You're unlikely to find CDs by groups like Skrewdriver and Brutal Attack sold alongside the latest hits from Rihanna and the Jonas Brothers at your local retailer. But the white-power punk bands' ballads are just a click away online.

When Mike Huckabee asked a New York Times' reporter, "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers," he crossed a line he cannot uncross. Previous to this he had played a game of teasing the anti-Mormon vote, and had been called on it by Charles Krauthammer and others. But Huckabee had maintained deniability. No more. Huckabee's obvious attempt to salt the mine and get the reporter to carry antt-Mormon rhetoric into the paper without Huckabee's fingerprints on it backfired, and the transparent attempt to use the MSM to further the anti-Mormon message was repulsive. Until he crossed that...

In this land and season of plenty, low-income and rural Americans continue to have difficulty finding healthy foods that are affordable, a new study finds. One study shows that low-income Americans now would have to spend up to 70 percent of their food budget on fruits and vegetables to meet new national dietary guidelines for healthy eating. And a second study found that in rural areas, convenience stores far outnumber supermarkets and grocery stores -- even though the latter carry a much wider choice of affordable, healthy foods. "I think it's a matter of raising awareness among health professionals --...

Reid says U.S. strike on Iran would be destabilizing Mon Jun 11, 2007 6:27PM EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected on Monday another prominent senator's call for a military strike against Iran, saying a U.S. attack would destabilize the Middle East.

Iran has denied supplying Iraqis with armor-piercing munitions and...

The U.S. military said 20 insurgents, including two women, were killed in a raid and subsequent airstrike Friday on a predominantly Sunni village northwest of Baghdad, but local officials alleged the dead were civilians including eight children. In southern Iraq, British and Danish forces hunted rogue Shiite militiamen blamed for recent attacks, conducting a pre-dawn raid that was described by coalition officials as the largest offensive in the area since the war began.

AS Parisians crowd to the beaches in August, tourists are descending on the City of Light in droves, undeterred by a recent survey highlighting complaints that visitors get the cold shoulder from locals. The most visited country in the world, France received 76 million tourists last year, with Asians making up a growing proportion of those who came from non-European countries and 50,000 visitors jetting over every month from China alone. All this despite stereotyped images of rude waiters, bored shop assistants and impatient Parisians all too ready to give nervous tourists the brush off in rapid French. "French hospitality...

ALEXANDER OTTO; The News Tribune Published: April 15th, 2006 01:00 AM Federal health officials at a meeting Friday in Tacoma downplayed the risk bird flu poses to humans, contrasting earlier warnings from the federal government. “There is no evidence it will be the next pandemic,” Dr. Julie Gerberding, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said of avian flu. There is “no evidence it is evolving in a direction that is becoming more transmissible to people.” Gerberding spoke at the Greater Tacoma Convention & Trade Center...
