“There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.” Those of you capable of remembering clear

First, social justice warriors grab another scalp!   This time it’s Cinnabon’s, whose advertisement was cute and clever: ….or an absolute outrage, of course. Sadly, Cinnabon caved within hours and not only took down the tweet, but apologized – http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2016/12/27/cinnabon-tweets-deletes-carrie-fisher-tweet-after-backlash/95893594/ (Sorry, but I cannot [so far] figure out how to make

Strandbeest is simultaneously the strangest and most compelling thing I’ve seen in a while. “Since 1990 I have been occupied creating new forms of life. “Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature.  I make skeletons that are able to

I never really thought much about disability until I moved to Chico in 2011. As we met our neighbors, we found that next door, in a house originally purchased for more than $400,000.00 (we bought ours from the bank for a lot less than that, thankfully) lived two people, BOTH

Giggles, a two-week old whitetail deer fawn in Wisconsin was executed by minions of the state, who were only following orders. Giggles’ problem was that The Society of St. Francis rescued her, and the law prohibits rescue agencies (even no-kill ones like the Society of St. Francis) from holding state

Leftism expressed in (less than) a sentence!  This is “our guy”, Keith Ellison.  He’s got the “Truth” down pat — they own all the money, and while they’ll let you keep some of what you earn for the time being, just remember that if the Feds get short….you’ll be expected

Apparently, his mother dropped him down the drain (watch the video at the link) in the squat toilet of a shared bathroom in her apartment building.  He was heard crying, and when rescuers couldn’t pull him back out, they went downstairs and cut a section of (plastic) pipe away with

I heard Lars Larson this afternoon, reporting that in NY a couple’s house was visited by law enforcement because she had been Googling pressure cookers and her husband had been looking for a backpack online. It sounded terrible on a number of levels — NSA-based paranoia can lead us to

Obama Signs Executive Order, Sends $500 million to Terrorists Here’s a copy of the President’s order, addressed to the omniincompetent John Kerry (who, by the way, served in Vietnam), that somehow evades the congressional ban on any funds being sent to the PA on the West Bank. There will at

WHAT A deal!! The President gets higher corporate taxes……but only if he gets to spend the extra money on his own priorities!! Who could turn down such a deal? Not the GOP, I suspect. Please surprise me, Mr. Boehner!

….on Twitter. My daughter sent me this, bless her….if you’d told me yesterday that Twitter could be beautiful, I’d have scoffed (to put it politely). I’m still not going to be doing social media any time soon (if ever), but my attitude has been adjusted by reading this. Twitter is

I give you Jaime Herrera Beutler and her husband, Daniel.   She represents a district in Washington state, and on June 3 announced that their baby had been diagnosed with a bad disease, Potter Sequence….a disorder of the kidneys that leads to insufficient amniotic fluid and damages the lungs.  The disease

“AS THE COACH AT A HIGH SCHOOL NEAR CHICAGO, MIKE POWELL HAS DONE MORE THAN CREATE STATE WRESTLING CHAMPIONS. HE’S TAUGHT BOYS HOW TO BE MEN AND PROVIDED AN EXAMPLE OF COURAGE UNDER THE MOST TRYING PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES” I’m warning you to get a hankie before reading this story…and understand

Kidding…..kidding. But Michael Pollan MAY have a stroke, when he reads this NY Post article by Kyle Smith: The greatest food in human history Forgive me the headline – but it *is* the New York Post!!  🙂 Anyhow, here’s the greatest food in human history, and to see why, go

….and that should NOT evoke the thought “tastes like chicken”. Shame on you! NBC is planning a four-hour miniseries featuring the former first lady, former Senator and former Secretary of State. That’s Diane Lane, who’ll be playing the WoB….she’s 48 this year (46 in the photo), and will play Hillary
