The next place that is looking to ban the Confederate flag is…wait, NASCAR? At least, if Chairman Brian France has his way… “We want to go as far as we can to eliminate the presence of that flag,” France told The Associated Press. “I personally find it an offensive symbol, so there is no daylight […]

The Supreme Court made it’s decision on gay marriage.  Now, various Catholic institutions are speaking out… Catholic leaders, legal scholars and marriage experts reacted with dismay to the landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges and three related cases. But they also expressed resolve that the decision would not discourage their efforts to preach and teach […]

You know, I can’t help but think Hillary Clinton’s emails could clear her name in all this.  You know, if she still had them… The United States supported the secret supply of weapons to Libyan rebels while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State according to federal court documents obtained by Fox News. In a sworn […]

Is it January 2017 yet?  Call me old fashioned, but I always believed that when you negotiate, the point is to give and take until you meet somewhere in the middle.  According to this report, we don’t have anything left to give Iran… The P5+1 countries led by the United States under Barack Obama have […]

Liberals wasted no time in pivoting from “it’s a red herring for conservatives to say we’ll force churches to violate their faith” to “of course we’re going to force churches to violate their faith!” Enter Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin… “Certainly the first amendment says that in institutions of faith that there is absolute power to, […]

I’d like to think it’s possible to support gay marriage and/or be happy with the Supreme Court ruling, while also saying it is inappropriate to spit on anyone…let alone a priest. Two liberals in New York City apparently thought differently. Walking down Broadway and 22nd St just now, I ran into gay marriage parade. Two […]

Well this is…unexpected.  With all of the recent outrage concerning the Confederate flag, there is a former president of the NAACP who is…defending it? A former president of the North Carolina NAACP – and one of the few African–American members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans – stood in front of a monument in Asheville, […]

Just a reminder that while liberals call any believer who has a different political opinion than them “religious extremists,” there are actual religious extremists in the world. Here’s how ISIS celebrates #LoveWins… As the world reacted — many in celebration — to the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage in the United States, ISIS reportedly […]

Everyone was excited about the Supreme Court ruling about gay marriage, even in London…and even ISIS?  Well, according to a report on CNN… So why would the flag of a terrorist group notorious for murdering civilians, particularly gay civilians, be flying at a gay pride parade? Well, what was unnoticed by Pawle was that the […]

NYC cabbies, at least those who are Muslim, were shocked to find out that NY parking rules apply to them.  Yes, even when they are double parked outside of a mosque… Devout New York City Muslim cabbies got a rude awakening when they got tickets for double-parking outside a Manhattan mosque while they were inside […]

You know that crazy paranoia that says now that the Confederate flag is being taken down because people find it offensive, that the American flag is next?  Totally crazy and tinfoil hat-y, right?  Except that there are already complaints about flying the American flag… A high school in York County has spoken out after students protested […]

This is absolutely terrifying. A freak accident at a Taiwan water park caused a huge fire that engulfed hundreds of park goers… More than 200 people were set on fire after an explosion at a water park in Taiwan caused a fireball to tear through a huge crowd today. Coloured powder sprayed onto hundreds of […]

I’m going to love it when the IRS under President Chris Christie and Senate Majority Leader Ted Cruz starts targeting their political opponents.  The gross incompetence (at best) or flat our lying (at worst) that these people are getting away with should be marveled at and studied. Despite having a subpoena and preservation order in […]

The proposal in question doesn’t actually want to dig up the remains as the headline of this article suggests, so I’m not sure where the author got that from (at least it wasn’t linked to in the post). This article just mentions moving the monuments.   That said, seriously? We’re this deep into the political grandstanding that […]

There are any number of things that can make you anxious flying: turbulence, crying children, slow WiFi, etc.  But imagine that you were on a flight…and you saw the wing of the airplane get HIT BY LIGHTNING?!? A passenger on board a Korean Air Lines flight apparently captured on video the terrifying moment the plane’s […]

The recent Tunisian massacre was pretty shocking and despicable enough.  ISIS itself is pretty despicable enough.  Then you read that the killer was laughing as he was slaughtering people on holiday, and you can taste the bile in the back of your throat. This is the face of the man who laughed as slaughtered holidaymakers while […]

If you don’t think the flag should be flown above government buildings, I agree with you.  If a private company or a video game manufacturer want to not sell it, that’s their decision.  But National Parks on battleground sites from the Civil War? Seriously? Gettysburg, the site of the Civil War’s pivotal battle, said Thursday it […]

Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth, while people who use “selfie sticks” may very well be history’s greatest monsters. So it is no wonder that Disney has banned them, especially after this… Guests on a roller coaster at Disney California Adventure were stranded for up to an hour at the top […]

I sometimes think that there are people in the Obama administration who are secretly conservative bloggers. When they make decisions like this, it’s like they’re saying, “Here, your audience will LOVE this!” A top commander in southwest Asia reminded U.S military personnel stationed in Muslim countries in the Middle East of the restrictions placed on […]

Critics of the gay marriage ruling point to a “slippery slope” that opens the door to redefining anything for any reason, and question what’s next.  According to an article in Politico, it’s polygamy! Welcome to the exciting new world of the slippery slope. With the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling this Friday legalizing same sex marriage […]

When prominent Hillary Clinton donor Donald Trump decided to run for president, everyone assumed it would be interesting.  The Donald doesn’t disappoint.  Recently Univision, which is owned by another prominent Hillary Clinton donor, said they would not air the Miss Universe pageant after Trump made disparaging comments about Mexicans.  Trump responded… “Please be advised that […]

Usually when you hear of a Vortex open up, it’s in Marvel Comics and an alien army is about to come through and invade New York City. It’s not usually a) on the Texas/Oklahoma border, and b) a real thing… A powerful vortex has appeared in Lake Texoma – one of the largest reservoirs in […]

There’s been a lot of noise about King v. Burwell this week.  That’s understandable. It’s about ObamaCare. Everyone seems to hate ObamaCare…except for ironically enough the one poll that comes out right before a major decision.  Go figure. You want to know what was worse? Texas Housing v. Inclusive Communities… Like the opinion in King v. Burwell, […]

The only thing worse than getting knocked out in front of your friends? Getting knocked out in front of your friends…and some dude with a smart phone and a YouTube account. Ouchtown, bro. Population: YOU!  

Judging from the news, we’re a racist country that hasn’t changed or improved at all over the past few decades.  A point, that Bill O’Reilly is having none of.  Opine away… America has gone from being the land of the free and the home of the brave to a country dominated by white supremacy. No […]

After the Supreme Court decision, the debate over ObamaCare is over, right? Tell that to the Mercy Health workers who just lost their jobs… President and CEO of the Mercy system, Lynn Britton, said the Obamacare-induced layoffs are taking a toll on workers and their families. “Changes such as these are difficult and distressing for […]

Lots of major retailers are refusing to sell the Confederate flag after the Charleston shooting. However, there is still one store in California you can buy it at… Reneau said his business sells out of the flags every time a shipment comes in. “We just got 150 today and we’ll be getting another 400 tomorrow,” […]

One of the beautiful things about baseball is that sometimes, the most amazing plays come from someone sitting in the crowd.  Case in point this guy, who caught the ball one handed…while holding a baby! The play came in the second inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers took on the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. […]

I’m not a religious person, but I was raised Catholic and like to give The Pope the benefit of the doubt. And a lot of what this Pope says lately gets taken out of context and lost in translation.  That said, The Pope said what now? While speaking in Turin, Italy, he stated, “If you […]

I don’t care who the President is at this point – Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, Jeb Bush – it doesn’t matter.  Just as long as their first executive order is to rescind every unilateral decision President Obama has made.  Seriously, he has to be kidding about this… The White House is expected to announce Wednesday […]
