Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

A little break from politics today… TV, movies, and literature used to be filled with Butlers, that manservant to the well to do. But the character device has fallen out of favor lately, so much so that if an actor was famous for playing a butler, he’s probably dead! Of course, one of the most […]
This: story is quite the turnaround from the usual nonsense on college campuses. A professor at Cameron University might lose his job for accusing colleagues of racism. The unsurprising part is that the tenured music professor, Alfred Duckett, is blaming all of his professional problems on “racism.” By all accounts, what little interaction Duckett had with […]
America has around 55,000 power plants–but terrorists would have to target only 9 to create nationwide havoc, such: a blackout that could last over a year. This finding by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission was recently published in the Wall Street Journal. Federal regulators are calling for tighter security. ‘Destroy nine interconnection substations and: a transformer […]
The headline provides all the information any reader needs about this story — with the exception of the fact that local government is actually listening to this guy’s complaints, and was ordered to give him a small amount of money — but I suppose John wants a blog post longer than one sentence. The […]
When I first read this article, I actually had sympathy for the government’s position. In short, they argue that the tree fort in question could collapse on a public sidewalk, endangering the public, and the city would be liable. At first glance, this is potentially very reasonable. However, if you follow the link above, […]
In the middle of last week, a gun store owner in California was standing up against ATF allegations he said had no basis in reality. He even got a judge to provide an injunction, protecting him and his business from the federal government’s claims. Allegedly, the ATF ignored the injunction, breaking into his business […]
Alternate headline: NY Times, Democrats whine like 4 year olds over Republican groups daring to spend money against them. This article, which appears on page A1 of the New York edition is highlights three things, namely that Democrats are concerned about Obama’s falling poll numbers, that Conservative groups are outspending Democrats (the nerve!!!!!), and that […]
I have a question. The word conservative can mean many things; there’s [sic] many definitions to it, but what does it say about about a group, CPAC, where the most popular speaker they had, the one who received the most rousing reception is a moron, Sarah Palin? I mean, she received a reception at that […]
Get this: Old-fashioned baby names are beginning to make a comeback. That was the finding of BabyCenter, a digital resource for parenting and pregnancy, which released the top 100 baby names for 2013. Some of the names at the top of the list are oldies but goodies, such as Sophia, Isabella and Olivia for girls. […]
While Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin have the attention of the vast majority of news writers, there is another Republican with even greater credentials for the 2016 Presidential race. His policies enabled school districts to save millions of dollars on health insurance and prevent massive teacher layoffs. He is now proposing […]
Billionaire David Green’s success story could come straight from Silicon Valley. He started his business in a garage in 1970. Through hard work and innovation, he built a business that employs more than 13,000 full-time workers. He determined to treat his employees well, providing health care and setting a higher in-house minimum wage for staff. […]
I disagree with some of Rand Paul’s more libertarian positions, especially on social issues. And I’m certainly not endorsing him or anyone else to be the Republican nominee for president at this time. But Sen. Paul of Kentucky did two things recently that won my favor. He showed the 2,500 conservative activists at the CPAC […]
This month the blog commenting system Disqus changed its system with neither a warning nor an explanation, eliminating the ability of page visitors to see the tallied number of down votes to any of the comments. Apparently the blog service felt that Americans were getting their feelings hurt so badly by a down vote that […]
Liberals–including Obama–often: openly admit: they want to “reshape” America into a completely different society, but never name any specific countries they’d use as a model. I find it most helpful to look at: Western and Northern: Europe for a glimpse at what they have in mind.: A core value? Censorship and speech policing. Belgium just passed a law banning “sexist” […]
The corrupt media, the conservative intellenginsia, and the GOP establishment haven’t come around to saying this but President Obama’s new “hardship” exemption is exactly what Sen. Ted Cruz wanted during the government shutdown back in October. Cruz wanted Obama to delay the individual mandate that forces all Americans to buy health insurance.: He knew […]
By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net Another Friday, another violation of American freedoms and rights. This one is personal. Today, ICANN and the US government announced their intention to relinquish control of the Internet to the UN by 2015. Where’s Congress? Where’s the outrage that should be thunderous over this travesty? From WaPo: U.S. officials announced plans […]
So there’s this guy. He build a pond on his property. And now the EPA is trying to nab him for $75,000 per day in fines. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims Johnson violated the Clean Water Act by “building a dam on a creek without a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers,” according […]
Seriously. He does: The earthquake that rocked L’Aquila Italy in 2009 provides an interesting case study of botched communication. This natural disaster left more than 300 people dead and nearly 66,000 people homeless. In a strange turn of events six Italian scientists and a local defence minister were subsequently sentenced to six years in prison. […]
It looks like Louisiana and the federal government need some food stamp reform: A south Louisiana lingerie store has posted on its front door to indicate it accepts most credit cards, including the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. Kiss My Lingerie, in Gonzales, sells adult specialty items. The store moved into the Magnolia Shopping Center […]
This goes to the proposed law I mentioned back in February, which would limit magazines to 10 rounds, among other things. She, figuratively, blew the room away (The Blaze) Speaking before the New Jersey Law and Public Safety Committee in Trenton, N.J., on Thursday, 9-year-old competition shooter Shyanne Roberts spoke in opposition to a proposed […]
He’s pretty casual in throwing out the supposed enrollment figure, though strangely unable to provide the risk pool mixes (Washington Post) President Obama said Friday he was confident enough Americans had enrolled under the Affordable Care Act to make the program “stable.” In an interview with WebMD (transcript here), Obama said the fact that 4.2 […]
The biggest fallacy in politics is that we need “another Reagan” or more “Tea Partiers” in Congress if we want to save the country. Granted, either would certainly help, but America’s structural problems are much bigger than any personnel issues we have in D.C. Even if you’re an extremely talented craftsman, you’re going to have […]
During the March 5, 2014 House Oversight Committee hearing, former IRS official Lois Lerner invoked the Fifth Amendment…again. If it were not for being a part of the most “transparent” administration, one might think she had something to hide. But then again, in a liberal’s lexicon, words are not required to match actions. According to […]
In 2003, I opposed the Medicare prescription drug bill, in large part because I expected that – like all other government entitlement programs – it would end up costing far more than initially projected. I was wrong. The program’s structure, based on competing private plans, made Part D unlike all entitlements that had come before. […]
Quite often, fellow African-Americans hear me criticize President Obama and ask me why I hate the President. I reject the premise of the question. I don’t hate President Obama, but I do strongly dislike his policies and the divisive tone he has set for his presidency and our nation. Unfortunately, in the Obama era, disagreement […]
I’ll let the experts churn out opinions on what should be done about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But it does appear that many of them refuse to accept a number of truths about the world. Take these, for instance: 1) Most people do not shares our values. 2) Most people don’t even understand our values. […]
