Unions oppose bipartisan effort to keep criminals out of public schools

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Federal lawmakers want to prevent schools from employing convicted sex offenders, kidnappers, murderers, pornographers, spouse beaters and rapists.

Polyamory Rights

The first, “Why I’m Still In The Polyamory Closet,” by the pseudonymous “Michael Carey,” elicited angry letters because Carey compared polyamorists with homosexuals.

In Shutdown Fight, the Dog That Didn’t Bark: Taxes

Sherlock Holmes famously solved a mystery by noticing the dog that did not bark. In the recent government shutdown/debt ceiling fight, there was a five-letter dog that didn’t bark: T-A-X-E-S.

Health Care and Shutdown Debacles are Mere Symptoms

Many reporters caught up in the bizarre world of official Washington have written extensively on political tactics and implications of the so-called government shutdown and disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov.

Second-Graders Taught Collectivist Propaganda Under Common Core

Obama’s Demonization of Christians and the Tea Party

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton NoisyRoom.net Flipping America the bird, Obama arrogantly instructs his newly ‘cleansed’ military and the Department of Defense to instruct the rank and file who the real terrorists are — Christians and the Tea Party.

Report: Congressman Darrell Issa Has A Plan For Illegal Immigration

Things that make you go “hmmmmmm”.
