C-Span proved a point about some people today


Posted: Oct 1, 2013

They were taking comments on the shutdown through Facebook, tweets, on their site, and from phone calls.

Believe it or not, so many were complaining about C-Span not being shut down because they didn't consider cameras in Congress or in committee meetins essential government employees! Hello?

Just about every site you go to has a link "About Us" or something like that. Don't people read about the sites they visit?  If those people would have read about C-Span, they would have found out that it is not, and never has been, a government site. It's not funded by the government, nor has it ever been. They get their donations from people, advertisers, and cable companies.

C-Span: The House Is In Recess Right Now Because Oct 03, 2013
SHOTS WERE FIRED OUTSIDE THE CAPITAL. They are on lockdown. That's what vicious rhetoric gets you.

Words like Terrorist, anarchist, hostage takers, bombs strapped to their chests, jihadists (used yesterday), extortionists, blah, blah, blah.

What Is The Life Span Of A CrockpotNov 22, 2014

Watching Healthcare Law Implementation On C-SpanAug 01, 2013
Why do the Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee insist on wasting time by making speeches? They are on that committee to ask questions of anything that comes before them (not just the new healthcare laws), not make political speeches.  The same thing happens all the time. The Republicans are asking questions, while the Democrats make speeches on how mean the Republicans are. I don't find the questions mean or trying to "undo" the law. In fact, I think these are questions mo ...

Just Turned C-Span On And They Are Debating The 2012 BudgetApr 15, 2011
There are a bunch of people in the gallery that have been causing a commotion. The Chair is getting furious since this is dragging out longer than it's supposed to and has now stated and told the Capitol Police that prosecution may take place. What the heck is wrong with people nowadays? Disrupting a democratic process like this was never the American way. Respect for the process (not talking about the politicians) has to take place in an orderly way. Just because some don't like what ...

How Much Is Your Gas Today?Jan 07, 2011
A while back I posted a message that the oil commodity prices were going up and the last time oil was about $90, gas went to over $4.00.  Do you think there is less oil out there? The last time gas prices increased that much, oil companies reported record profits and Bush was president.  Hmmm.  Republicans have the House.  I think I will go buy some oil stock. ...

Wow, I Can See TodayJul 26, 2016
I cannot believe it. I had hardly any pain yesterday except after the drops were put in and today I can see to read quite a lot, not fine print, but can read this board and some other things. The colors are so bright and the white is so white and bright. I feel like I have new eyes. Thanks so much for praying all of you. BTW, they had to delay surgery for me and the first patient because something was wrong on the light. They finally got that fixed and I was only 20 minutes late going ...

DHS Did Something Right Today.Mar 03, 2015
Supposedly, DHS shut down 20 of these birth tourist homes, all in California. It costs up to $50K for the Chinese mothers-to-be to come and stay here, having their babies in a regular hospital, and then go home. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution grants automatic citizenship to everyone born in the United States. It was intended to ensure that freed slaves would be able to claim citizenship they rightly deserved. Today, however, some creative "birth tourists" are ta ...

I Got A Cat TodayJan 21, 2016
Believe it or not, I got a wonderful cat at a shelter today! He is a gorgeous black cat, looks like a little panther, and is incredibly affectionate and good natured. He had been there quite a while because the shelter people said they have such a hard time placing black cats! He is a love (and my third black cat), and I am so glad that a friend of mine suggested I take a black cat! So, no Savannah cat, no pit, no Rottie, just a wonderful and loving black cat! He is a very peaceful creature ...

Wow! What A Speech By O TodayJan 07, 2010
I'm surprised no one on this board commented on it yet. I watched it and he seems pretty pi$$ed. I just hope he really means what he said this time. As he said, it is his responsibility. Maybe now he will stop blaming the former administration and focus on being a president instead of a puppet. The only problem I see is that talk is cheap. Implementation of what his plans are for the terrorist problem has yet to be seen. I did miss the press conference between Homeland Security ...
