US: Guns in Numbers

If I were at a party, left the adults and put a nerf ball in the familiy room where the children were playing, nobody'd think anything of it. If I put a loaded gun in there, every adult would rush to get it before the children did. THAT IS BECAUSE GUNS ARE INTRINSICALLY DANGEROUS. The only thing that changed was the presence of a gun, but no one would claim it was actually the children who were dangerous. Suicides by gun are much more likely to result in death than ANY of the other usual ...

Tired of hearing, "Worse than expected." Can't the pros do better than that? ...

(Reuters) - New U.S. claims for unemployment aid unexpectedly rose last week to touch their highest level in eight months, pushed up by factors ranging from spring break layoffs to the introduction of an emergency benefits program, a government report showed on Thursday. KEY POINTS: * Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 43,000 to a seasonally adjusted 474,000, the highest since mid-August * Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims dropping to 410,000. * The prior wee ...

Nearly 2 million companies that make new hires or increase wages would receive a tax credit under the small business hiring income tax credit President Obama is calling on Congress to pass. Sounds good to me. Come on Congress! ...

despite pessimism about the future, American voters do not appear to be holding it against Democratic President Obama. A Reuters monthly poll, conducted after Romney returned from his overseas disaster and following release of July jobs numbers, shows growth in President Obama’s lead among registered likely voters. The democratic-style “otherness” argument, that Romney Hood is out of touch with those voters residing outside the 0.1% privileged circles, seems to be t ...

[Interestingly, Pew Research points to Fox News as a big problem with the GOP. Note that Fox News was created to make money by selling a specific niche viewer group to advertisers -- those people who felt the mainstream media weren't conservative enough. Fox doesn't exist TO promote far-right views, that's just a byproduct of its process. (Of course, the various far-right websites and blogs are a whole different thing.) ] From the Washington Post: The numbers prove it: T ...

- is that Obama had these numbers when he stood up and made his speech last night. The POTUS is always advised of the numbers on the day before any significant labor (or other economic) numbers are released. So I think it's pretty fair, at this point, to call Obama an unmitigated, narcissistic liar to stand before the American people and beg for four more years when he had been given even more evidence than he already had that there is no justification on earth to give his failed pol ...

imported into the United States. If I recall correctly, the Obama administration’s stated goal is to bring in 100,000 this year. Refugee resettlement is a big business now in the USA, driven by lavish funding from the federal government with additional assistance from Soros-type NGOs. In particular, mainstream Protestant denominations are cashing in on the windfall by offering their services as charitable experts to help resettle the new arrivals. See Refugee Resettlement Watch for the bes ...

It's beginning to look pretty good! ...

Too bad this administration keeps reporting "feel good" numbers and his minions follow along and cheer. Pitiful. link ...

More than half the people who enrolled in Obamacare last year don’t plan to sign up again—and that’s bad news for the president’s healthcare law. A new Bankrate survey reveals that 53 percent of current Obamacare enrollees who signed up through the exchanges said they would not be enrolling for 2015. Their reason--“much higher prices for health plans.” Uh, oh. Did I hear that Obamacare was supposed to lower health insurance premiums? ...

Enlightening article. Here's an excerpt: "But, if Clinton's sinking poll numbers were to be expected as she re-entered the arena, the pace of their drop and the depths to which they have fallen are surprising. Looking at the national numbers, Clinton's favorable numbers have come close to collapsing over the past eight months or so; her unfavorable numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire are, without exaggeration, near Trump-ian levels -- and that's a very bad thing considering th ...

They're sending Chelsea out to attack Sanders, which is not being well received by Democrats whoever they support. It's very depressing to think that we have another generation of Clintons who will pollute the political environment for years to come. ...

This is from CNN. Don't know if it's true or not, but it does mention ABC and WaPo, so it must be true. ...

It was only 9.7% in May 2009, and in December, it was 10.9. This doesn't include those who ran out of benefits. I just can't imagine how many are really out of work here. They stated we have 8,300 people out of work. That doesn't sound like much, but I think our county only has a population of 30,000, and most of them have had to leave the county to find jobs. ...

"Eighty-four percent of people agree on almost nothing these days. But they do seem to agree that the economy stinks." Thought I'd excerpt a positive note this time.

Obama wants to turn this into gun control and I am sure Hilary will do the same. The guns just do not get up and shoot by themselves, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. You can have as much gun control as you want, there will always be a way to get a gun. We have to call it what it is, radical Islam etiology, and find solutions to that problem but I fear we are too late for that as it has gone on for far too long. I do not feel that it was all because of being homophobic and ...

Just another accident. Neighbors told WVLT that McKayla Dyer was shot and killed after arguing with the suspect about a puppy. Detectives said they found a 12-gauge shotgun and BB pistol at the scene where Dyer suffered a wound to the chest. So, who do we hold responsible? ...

yourselves and your loves ones... What do you have and where do you keep it so you'll have it whenever needed? How about places that don't allow them. Do you ever get challenged or have it confiscated. I'm thinking of getting some kind of Kimber (a friend of mine swears by them). The only way I can see having it if and when I need it is with some sort of holster so it is on my body at all times. My state allows concealed and nonconcealed carry permits, bu ...
