Ha! House Burglar Shot After Locking Homeowner Inside His Own GUN CLOSET
by Tammy on May 16, 2013A special Good News story for a week that’s already been bad for Bad Guys of all sorts Via the Daily Mail. The victim of an armed home invasion in Houston has turned the tables on the brazen intruders after they stuffed him into a closet that turned out to be the place where he stores his gun. Police say it all started at around 2pm Tuesday when three men broke into a home in the 8200 block of Braeburn Valley Drive and assaulted the resident. After a brief scuffle, the hapless perpetrators shoved the man into a closet, not knowing that there was a gun in there. When the homeowner thought the burglars had left, he went downstairs, carrying...

Top Spire For The New WTC Freedom Tower Lifted Into Place
by Tammy on May 2, 2013Finally, after almost 11 1/2 years we’re putting the top on the Freedom Tower in New York. I’ve seen the new building up close and it is beautiful. It will be nice to have this finished. Thanks to everyone involved in making this building happen, and God bless the souls of those taken from us on September 11, 2001, and the families forever missing their loved ones. For all of the American family, God bless us, everyone!

Koch Bros Consider Purchase of Tribune Co., Includes L.A. Times & Chicago Tribune
by Tammy on April 22, 2013This could be good. I mentioned quite some time ago that conservatives should unite and buy the newspapers and magazines used by the left to push their craven agenda. Hopefully, this is part of that very necessary move if we’re going to save this nation. Via Breitbart. As you read this New York Times story about the Koch Brothers apparent interest in making a serious bid for the Tribune Company (publishers of eight local newspapers including the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune,) ask yourself how outlets like Politico would deal with such a thing. Ever since the Supreme Court returned free speech rights to everyone with Citizens United vs. FEC, the leftist media — led mostly by Politico —...

Great Piece By Liz Cheney: “Those Who Counsel That the GOP Should Move Left Are Wrongheaded or Democrats, Or Both”
by Tammy on March 29, 2013A terrific op/ed in the Wall Street Journal from Liz Cheney. Every day I hope she’s considering public office, and with a piece like this, I become more inspired. A snippet is below but do read the whole thing. Liz Cheney: Republicans, Get Over the 2012 Loss—and Start Fighting Back …Al Qaeda is resurgent across the Middle East. President Obama stood by and did nothing when its affiliates in Libya killed the U.S. ambassador and three other brave Americans in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11. Then he and his administration misled the American people about the attack. Today, more than six months later, no one has been held to account. The clear message of this episode to America’s enemies...

Pope Francis Shuns Grand Palace Apartment for Two Room Guesthouse
by Tammy on March 27, 2013Wow. I was wondering how he’d handle living in the palace. It looks like he’s decided to live in a guest house instead. Every day there’s something impressive about this guy. Via the BBC. Pope Francis has decided to shun a grand papal apartment on the top floor of the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace in favour of a modest two-room residence. His spokesman said he was “trying out this type of simple living” in a communal building with other priests. In doing so he has broken a tradition which is more than a century old. The decision reinforces the newly-elected Pope’s austere reputation. As archbishop of Buenos Aires he refused to move into the Bishop’s Palace. Preferring more modest accommodation, he...

Yay Humans! Celebrate ‘Human Achievement Hour’ Saturday at 830pm Your Time
by Tammy on March 23, 2013** In honor of saving the planet by recycling, I’m bumping up this post from last year and updating certain links ** Competitive Enterprise Institute: “Supporting the freedom needed for humans to innovate so that our lives on earth are longer, healthier, and more enjoyable” Sure, a combination of hippies and leftists want everyone to embrace the Stone Age with “Earth Hour” on Saturday at 830pm your local time, but we here in the normal world celebrate Human Achievement! I especially like enjoying what planet Earth has given us in the form of coal by worshipping electricity and all the products it powers. All at once. Won’t you join me in turning on everything in your house/apartment/shack all at once?...

Terror Suspect Abu Hamza Set To Have Hand Hook Replaced With Spork
by Tammy on March 14, 2013Bwahahahahahahaha! Via The Sun. Hate cleric Abu Hamza is set to be fitted with a SPOON to replace his famous hook, it was revealed last night. Hamza may be given a “spork” — a cross between a spoon and fork, normally favoured by campers. The radical preacher, 54, is facing 11 terror charges in the US after finally being extradited from the UK last year. Hamza, who lost his hand and an eye in an explosion in Afghanistan, has been fuming since he was stripped of his metal hook by US jail staff because it was a security risk. His lawyers say he is unable to use toilets properly and can’t turn taps on or off. Now they want him...

Good Riddance: Hugo Chavez Is Dead
by Tammy on March 5, 2013Nice that both Chavez and his buddy Gaddafi have been kicked off the planet. Next? Hopefully both Castro brothers. The planet is at least on its way to smelling a lot better. I do hope the door hit him on the way out. God bless Venezuela, and pray they have an opportunity to can recover from the mess this freak imposed on them. Via Reuters. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has died after a two-year battle with cancer, ending the socialist leader’s 14-year rule of the South American country, Vice President Nicolas Maduro said in a televised speech. Hardest hit? Sean Penn. Here’s an update from AP. Madura is a likely replacement for Chavez, which means the madness in Venezuela could...
