What Is The Answer To Handling ISIS?Sep 16, 2014
I've read a lot of bickering about this topic and yet I have yet to see someone give an answer or at least a good suggestion of what to do.   We never should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein.  Yes...he was a dictator and treated his people poorly but he also kept extremists like ISIS out of Iraq.  We went in and got rid of Hussein and the extremists have taken over that country.  We got rid of Bin Laden and that hasn't stopped the craziness.  We got rid of Mu ...

Yemen's Handling Of Ex-Gitmo PrisonersNov 29, 2009
ADEN, YEMEN -- Two years ago, Mohsin al-Askari was released from his prison cell at Guantanamo Bay, but he has found neither freedom nor a new life in his homeland. Potential employers are afraid to hire him. At 28, he depends on his father for financial support, charities for medical care. With each rejection, his frustration grows, as does the temptation to return to his old life of jihad. "The government hasn't done anything to help me," said Askari, his voice filled with bitterness. ...

Handling A Disrespectful, Unappreciative Adult SonMay 03, 2014
I am hoping to make this a short post, but I am at my wits ends here.  My son, from the age of 15 has been such a rebel.  He ran away from home, etc, caused great heartache to our family (his father, sister, and myself).  When he was about 18 he came back into our lives, and we accepted and moved on.  He continued to drink, do drugs (including meth), continued to be very disrespectful towards his father who has bent over backwards for him. He was on his own and not in our hom ...

Handling Of Iran Versus Israel In ISIS ThreatSep 30, 2014
Netanyahu did his best yesterday to equate Iran with Hamas with ISIS--now will the administration buy it and go back to protect Israel at any cost or are we going to negotiate with Muslim countries to defeat ISIS?  If we don't negotiate with Muslim countries for this objective, I think it will definitely take a land invasion to get this done (otherwise labelled World War III).  I don't think the rest of the "coalition" is up for that--just don't think they will show up. ...

Silencing All Opposition Voices: Inside The Media Matters Aug 08, 2017
Even to casual observers, it has been obvious for months that the left is orchestrating a tightly-coordinated campaign to undermine and delegitimize the current presidential administration. As an extension of the decades-long campaign to wrestle the narrative away from conservatives, independents and centrists, they’re smearing right-leaning commentators with anything they can find. In the take-down of Bill O’Reilly and Monica Crowley and attempted hit on Sean Hannity, for example, it’ ...

Conservatives Make Their Voices Heard After Poll Shows Romney SupportAug 23, 2012
Among African-Americans at Zero Percent. by Jason Howerton. "A new poll conducted by NBC and the Wall Street Journal shows that support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney among black people stands at an incredible zero percent. Nada. Zilch. Zero. But in order for the poll to be accurate, one would have to assume that there are indeed “zero” African-Americans that stand with Mitt Romney. And while the folks at NBC or WSJ certainly aren’t obligated to justify their find ...

"Cities Weigh Taking Over From Private Utilities" To SwitchMar 15, 2013
Gist is private utility companies (70% of us buy from private) tend to charge too much, to shave services to enhance profits (among other things, tending to be slower to restore power after outages and to be unwilling to bury power lines), to pay their executives too much, and to be unwilling to advance to new energy sources.  Publicly owned power tends to be cheaper and more responsive in all ways, and overall far more interested in investing in change to meet future needs now. But, altho ...

Uncomfortable With DebtAug 09, 2011
Does Debt Make You Uncomfortable? After years of being in debt where 90% was not even yours, you feel so much better being debt free. Then something comes up where you have to be in debt again with 80% having nothing to do with you with worry of where that could end up. Really not a fan of debt, I rather use funds that exist, however when something medical comes up there is only so much that can be done, even being needed ones does not have to be comfortable with it. ...

Get Rid Of The Debt Ceiling!Jul 18, 2011
This is ridiculous.  Debt Ceiling:  Should the United States of America pay its debts as it agreed to or should they default?  Are you kidding me?  Should the USA become a deadbeat country?  Really?  Each month when I receive my credit card statement, my utility bills, my car loan statement, I don't ask my husband:  Should we pay these?  We incurred the debt.  We are OBLIGATED.  We are already driving the car.  We have alread ...

Anybody See The Article On The National Debt?Jan 17, 2011
$14T and growing at a rate of $4 billion a day! Isn't that just ducky! The government borrows 41 cents for every dollar it spends and we, the people,  every man, woman, and child, equals $45,300. I'm so glad my 3-yo grandson will have a good life. Has the TARP money been applied to this debt? I didn't see anything in any article on that. What to do? Raising the debt ceiling will keep us "solvent" for a little while, but what happens when that limit is reached? Will they rais ...
