Huge Fertilizer Explosion in Texas last night

Sen. Wendy Davis in 10-hour filibuster stops passage of Texas bill that would have shut down all but five abortion clinics in the state of Texas. ...

Double the cost of 16 years under Bush and Clinton. By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON As Adam White discusses in detail, thereâ��s nothing moderate or incremental about the increase in federal regulations â�� and hence in centralized executive power â�� under President Obama. To the contrary (as White notes), according to figures published by the Obama White House (see table 2-1), the costs of regulations issued by this administration have dwarfed the costs of regulations issued by prior admini ...

Holy cow!!!! Had my first discussion w/ a lawyer today and I'm flabbergasted at the things I didn't take into consideration. The soon-to-be-ex most definitely isn't going to love, but he'd better be grateful that I'm not asking for spousal support (he makes 3x more than I do now- gotta love being an MT). Y'all rocked w/ the advice to at least talk to a lawyer. I like this guy. He's no BS, shoots from the hip, and says I can decline anyth ...

I've never been big on social networking. I keep in touch with friends by phone and meeting for lunch, dinner, parties, et cetera. DH has myspace, four square and of course Facebook. He has HUNDREDS of "friends", a lot are friends from high school and friends of friends from HS and of couse co-workers and friends of co-workers. He shows me the pics, the posts and the arguments and debates when he finds them funny or interesting. Last night he and I were looking at ...

As few as 41 senators, which could represent as little as 12.3% of the U.S. population, can make a filibuster happen. The Republicans have been using the filibuster continually, even filibustering bills they previously were FOR, just because they believe it makes Dems look bad. The Republicans currently have 41 senators and block everything. The Democrats have 57 senators, so by the rules they cannot override the Republican obstructionism. ...

A friend of my daughter has a kitten. The friend can't have pets where he's currently staying, so I agreed to give the kitten a home, temporarily. I love cats, and he's a really nice kitty. My DH is infuriated at my decision. He said if it's not gone by next weekend, he's going to kill it. We have 6 pets (3 dogs, 3 cats) of our own. It had been 8, but two died of old age recently. So it's not like we're anti-pet. But he wants to keep the dimi ...

I've been talking about it, and today I did it. I took my money out of the big national bank I'd been with for over 20 years, Greed-of-America. The bank that had hidden fees up the wazoo. The bank that charged me overdraft fees, even when I never overdrew my account. The bank that continually raised its minimum balance to a point where I was getting more money siphoned out of my account, even though I couldn't afford to put any more in, which is why I fell below the mi ...

1. We must not believe that the Orlando shooter represents all Muslims, but we must believe that he represents all gun owners. 2. We must not allow people who have not been vetted to buy guns, but we must allow immigrants from terrorist hotbeds who have not been vetted (indeed, whose very IDENTITY is uncertain) to enter the country. There are many other liberal inconsistencies - for instance, regarding human life and abortion - that they cannot explain away, but these two are parti ...

Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me, someone who has experience in this. I have very shiny white tile floors, I guess they're porcelain. I wanted to clean my kitchen grout, so I used a very highly-recommended grout cleaner on the grout, then went over the entire floor with a mild detergent with my wet/dry vac. When it was all dried, I noticed a horrible film, almost like a million little water spots over the entire floor. Some are actually swirls. I troubleshooted this over the ph ...

Since my last question didn't fly well with a few (perhaps because it hit to close to home in our chosen career field), here's a new one I'd like to try to understand. The same career politicians responsible for the recent revival of "communism" fears are the exact same names who pushed for us to outsource overseas from 2004-2008, mostly to communist China, though we were already in tremendous debt to them. And this doesn't this seem odd to you? To me, that goes stri ...

The vote was 302-126. The House killed a worker aid bill that was tied to the president's main agenda item -- legislation that would give Obama "fast-track" authority to negotiate trade deals. Without it, the trade push withers for now. The vote marked a stunning blow for the president at the hands of his own party, with Nancy Pelosi and labor unions helping drive the stake into the legislation in the end. The biggest defection for Obama came when Pelosi joined the rebellion in opposi ...

The GOP's campaign for strict voter ID laws is affecting another voting bloc. —By Dana Liebelson | Tue Oct. 29, 2013 3:00 AM PDT 3 Kheel Center/Flickr Women have been allowed to vote in the United States since 1920, after the passage of the 19th Amendment. But fast-forward to 2013, and plenty of states' laws have a provision that makes it harder for women who are married or divorced to cast a ballot. When Americans all over the country ...

It's nice to see at least one politician in this country has a spine. Thank God for Governor Perry for putting the National Guard on the border!! He has to do what the Feds won't do. Go figure. I guess upholding the country's laws is not of importance any longer to some. Meanwhile, the Pied Piper is off fundraising again, including in my state. Oh, joy, stay off the roads!! ...

(Reuters) - A judge in Texas has temporarily blocked President Barack Obama's orders to shield millions of people who are in the United States illegally, backing 26 states that argued Obama had overstepped his legal authority. The White House said on Tuesday that the Department of Justice would appeal the action by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, a city along the Texas border with Mexico. Hanen has previously issued opinions critical of the Obama administration’s en ...

Top officials with 14 anti-poverty nonprofits were paid as much as $869,900 as their organizations were enriched with $900 million of taxpayer money, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s (TheDCNF) Investigative Group has found. The activist groups received as much as 85 percent of their revenue from federal, state and local governments and collectively spent millions on lobbying, TheDCNF’s analysis found. Also, half of the charities’ CEOs made political contributions – nearly all of wh ...

I'm on the east coast, and the majority of us use natural gas or propane for heat, so we've never experienced rolling blackouts in the winter. This may sound like a stupid question, but why are Texans experiencing the blackouts? Do the majority of businesses use electric heat? Why would they be using more electricy now than when it's 120 degrees in the summer? (hence, my stupid question) I heard they had to buy some power from Mexico. ...

I believe this is all over GAS, OIL, and other energy sources like solar, geothermal, etc. since I read the BLM's own admission that Nevada is one of the "most favorable" states for all of the above. Then they also admitted how some land they will sell to oil and gas producers and other land they will lease to the same.So, will they use strong arm tactics like they did in the Bundy Bungle with semi-automatic weapons, dogs and tasers to seize the land from the land owners? This is absolutely ...
