Young men who were apparently influenced by violent videos and games have perpetrated two of the most recent, murderous acts.  James Holmes and Adam Lanza, killed and wounded dozens in separate shooting sprees.  Their horrifying actions may have well been fueled by brutal visual images made available to them via various media outlets. Holmes dressed…

No to Navigators! Yes to “Congressional Constituent Workshops”!

What is all this nonsense about the government hiring over 100,000 “navigators” to guide people through the ObamaCare application process?  Why waste billions of taxpayer dollars having strangers take critical, personal information from confused callers, when there’s a much better way?  Simply have the senators and house members who voted for the new law hold…

Hey GOP-Try Big Ideas, Here Are Three

Republican politicians, and RNC leaders might want to take a moment and review their recent public chatter before plodding ahead with anymore press get togethers.  Constantly using terms such as rebranding, or referring to a GOP autopsy when talking about your own party is not inspiring.  Look at it this way. Rebranding a corpse after…

The Big Reason RINOs Are Riled

Obama & The Media….Irony & Hypocrisy

In the early 1970′s Nixon used “Ping Pong Diplomacy” to help thaw relations with China.  Will Obama use Dennis Rodman’s “Ding Dong Diplomacy” to make inroads with North Korea….before they nuke us? During the 2004 presidential election John Kerry infamously stated “I voted for the bill, before I voted against it.”   Along those lines, President…

Sequestration: Dumb and Dumber

Friday afternoon, President Obama took to the microphones and announced his very own brain child, Sequestration, “Was just dumb.” A short time later Congresswoman Maxine Waters managed to lower that sorry bar even further by proclaiming Sequestration would cost America “over 170 million jobs.” It should be noted that as per December 2012 data from…

Sequestration Strategy Suggestion For GOP Leaders

The Republicans appear to be losing the public relations war over Sequestration.  President Obama is everywhere, hosting media events, making speeches, appearing on local TV stations, and interviewing with fellow former community organizer, Al Sharpton.  As weak, fawning attempts at Q & A turn “softball questions” into “T-ball questions” the Chief Executive enjoys one glorious,…

Bush’s 420 Seconds, Nixon’s 18 ½ Minutes, Obama’s 7 ½ Hours

People can have many different perspectives when measuring time. If you’re watching a great ballgame, hours seem like minutes. If you’re holding your breath, seconds can seem like hours. If you’re a political figure even the briefest of moments can come under intense scrutiny. That is especially true of our presidents. It’s just that some…

Quote of the Week

“Tornadoes form below a class of severe thunderstorms known as supercells. Supercells feature intense upward moving columns of air that rotate, as the wind near the surface is drawn into those columns it begins to rotate and forms the tornado vortex. The damage attributed to tornadoes is caused by the strong winds in the vortex and flying debris.

“Oklahoma sits within an area of the United States commonly referred to as ‘tornado alley’ – this area is amongst the most frequent locations of tornado occurrence in the world. At this time of year, the warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool and dry air from above the Rocky Mountains come together to make tornado alley the perfect environment to spawn supercells and tornadoes.

“Preliminary reports of damage from the Oklahoma tornado suggest it was of EF-4 intensity, which is the second highest intensity rating. EF-4 tornadoes have wind gusts between about 265 and 320 kilometres per hour.”
