It takes a special kind of person to become a nurse, a profession that requires a propensity for compassion and selflessness that not many people possess. But even still, the lengths this nurse went to so that she could be there for her patients will surely touch your heart. Talk about dedication. This weekend’s blizzard […]
The Zika virus has people around the world terrified, as news reports of babies born with birth defects flood televisions. Now, the World Health Organization is calling the outbreak >a href=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3425846/World-Health-Organization-deeply-concerned-explosive-spread-Zika-virus-El-Nino-increases-fears-expansion.html>a global public health emergency. The World Health Organisation said the outbreak should be considered a ‘public health emergency of international concern’, putting the mosquito-borne […]
Just in case you needed something to remind you not to take your good health for granted…here’s a video that really drives that home for you. This was a last minute kind of “pop”. This is the courier/driver for our dermatopathology slide service. We see him a few minutes on a daily basis at work. […]
They’re the kind of wounds that people can’t see, and never get talked about — and yet injuries to the groin are sadly all too common among service members. One soldier had given up on the chance of having children with his wife, until he underwent a radical treatment that gave him the chance to […]
Oooo! Ted Cruz, has jokes! After last night’s big win, Cruz had something to say about Michelle Obama’s “healthy”, but really, not so healthy, school lunches…and it’s catching fire! Cruz targeting Michelle’s healthy lunch intervention, where she required schools to use wheat instead of flour, among other rather extreme food mandates. The Texas senator send […]
Those who steal cars are scumbags. However, evidently, at least one scumbag out there can appreciate the value of a well-written note and bit of on-the-level humor. Tired of getting his car stolen and the hassle that goes along with it, one man wrote a note to his car thief and was rewarded for his […]
As Americans, we are free to be critical of U.S. foreign policy. We can criticize the use of military intervention. Heck, we can even dislike individual soldiers. However, we reside in a country protected by those who pick up guns so that the rest of us have the freedom to not have to- and that […]
In a handful of Democratic caucus precincts Monday, a delegate was awarded with a coin toss.Yep, that’s really how it happens, folks. Nothing to fancy, just good, old fashioned playground rules for these guys: It happened in precinct 2-4 in Ames, where supporters of candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton disputed the results after 60 […]
It’s getting harder and harder to be enthusiastic about supporting charities. Though there are many good and reputable ones, there are also many dishonest charities and scammers looking for money, attention or both. One despicable woman even claimed to have cancer three times in order to solicit attention. A Seattle woman who said she had […]
Cruz may have ‘won’ Iowa, but the fact of the matter is he wasn’t winning over many in the focus group at one point during his acceptance speech. Just where might surprise you: A CNN focus group in New Hampshire did not respond well to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s invocation of scripture in his Iowa […]
Ann Coulter was no joke with a series of insulting Tweets she shot off yesterday after the results of the Iowa Caucus were released…or rather, she was ALL jokes, at least they sounded like jokes on the outside but I’m pretty sure on the inside they were pure Ann Coulter TRUTH DAGGERS! Despite results showing […]
Wow. That takes cojones to sit there and tell a whopper like that. If you bust out laughing after you hear Hillary Clinton tell the world: “Well, look, anybody who knows me knows I’m not in the pocket of anyone, and anyone who thinks they can influence me certainly doesn’t know me,” you are not […]
And so the very public trial of Bill Cosby begins with this pre-trial. Somewhere, the devil is smiling. This hearing will center on whether, as Mr. Cosby’s lawyers contend, the Montgomery County district attorney at the time, Bruce L. Castor Jr., agreed more than ten years ago that Mr. Cosby would not be prosecuted in […]
Political correctness has invaded our culture so thoroughly there are essentially two tiers of justice in this country. If you are a white, progressive, privileged hippy Millennial, or a Black Lives Matter activist, law enforcement and the legal system will bend over backward to accommodate your protests and acts of civil disobedience. The media will […]
There are no words… this is just gross. A woman went to Dr. Sandra Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper, to have a cyst removed on her back. What came out of it was stomach churning to say the least. You have to watch it to get the full effect. I wouldn’t eat first though. From […]
ROTFLOL! This is absolutely priceless!! As Hillary Clinton tried to give a somber victory speech last night in Iowa, she had her thunder stolen from her by… Sticker Boy. A university student was strategically placed behind the Hildabeast and he was a hoot. He found out a candidate was coming to Drake and decided to […]
Dear God… the national debt is now above $19 Trillion and with the debt limit ceiling suspended until March of 2017, it will grow to more than $20 Trillion by the time Obama leaves office. I guess Obama hoped no one would notice as we were all riveted on Iowa. This makes me queasy. There […]
I’m actually surprised by this, but I guess I shouldn’t be. Huckabee was never my candidate and I don’t care for how he has treated Ted Cruz. Having said that, I think he is a good guy and I don’t think he was treated very fairly in this race. Mike Huckabee officially suspended his campaign […]
I could not be happier this morning! Ted Cruz resoundingly won the Iowa Caucus last night!! He beat Donald Trump 28% to 24%, with Rubio coming in at 23%. I find the Rubio ranking disturbing, but we’ll see how it plays out. Last night was a first in several ways… Cruz is Hispanic and won, […]
Over the past few years, there has been an unprecedented number of “unaccompanied” children illegally crossing the southern border, along with quite a few others. So, what does DHS have planned? (Texas Tribune) Gov. Greg Abbott and U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Laredo Democrat, pressed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday to explain […]
Here we go (Fox News) Iowa’s Democratic Party said early Tuesday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had gained an insurmountable lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the state’s caucuses, but stopped short of officially declaring her the winner — while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz scored a decisive win over Donald Trump in […]
My latest Townhall column is called, Dear American Muslims, Can We Have An Honest Talk? Here’s an excerpt from the column. On 9/11, one of my roommates was a Turkish pilot. Not only was he sent home that day, he didn’t work again for weeks. In one moment he was just a guy with a religion […]
Random thoughts on the passing scene: Will this November’s presidential election come down to a choice between a felon and a pied piper? People who call Barack Obama a lame duck president seem not to have noticed that he is exercising more power than ever, and has turned the Republican Congress into a lame duck […]
For me, the big question isn’t which team wins in that football thing this weekend. The real big question is whether local anarchists and malcontents will try to shut down any big-name bridges, freeways or otherwise jam up the Bay Area’s Super Bowl festivities. Social media and news organizations report chatter of a big protest […]
“As far as single payer, it works in Canada, it works incredibly well in Scotland.” “I would press for universal health care. … I would put forward a comprehensive health care program and fund it with an increase in corporate taxes.” “We must have universal healthcare.” “I hate the concept of it, but on a […]
“You wonder how these things begin.” — (The Fantasticks) In the beginning there was a combative media. Dating back to Colonial America, as Eric Burns has chronicled in his book, “Infamous Scribblers,” politicians and journalists have mostly had a love (for Democrats)-hate (for Republicans) relationship. It is television and the advent of the celebrity culture […]
