Public Podcast: AMAC CEO Rebecca Weber
by Tammy on May 9, 2022As you all know, my column moved this year from the Washington Times to AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens. I made this move because of the work AMAC is doing on all fronts for all Americans as a conservative advocacy for all of us. Recently, AMAC did great work regarding the increasingly woke agenda of Disney, as evidenced by their attempting to interfere with Florida legislation meant to secure parents rights in the classrooms of their children. I speak with Rebecca about AMAC, its work, and their AMAC Action hub which does a great job on the issues we care about. It has become very apparent it’s time we all stand up for our values and the principles...

Lake Superior State University’s 2016 List Of ‘Banished’ Words
by Shifra on January 3, 2016“So,” will TAMS find that the “secret sauce” of this post “gives them life” and will want to “join the conversation,” or will they find it “problematic,” so that I will just have to “walk it back?” Via WSJ: So (and we will get back to that word in a minute), 2015 became the year in which U.S. university campuses went mad with political correctness. Students accused professors of “microagressions,” slights so subtle only the victims could identify, or feel, them. At Christmas, Cornell issued a list of discouraged “holiday” objects, which somehow included mistletoe. Thus, we are pleased to associate ourselves with one university’s list of forbidden things. It is Lake Superior State University’s 41st annual list of “Banished...

Free Range Is For Turkeys
by Pat_S on November 15, 2014When your office seating plan is based on a science fiction story you are bound to wind up with something strange. If you aren’t familiar with Divergent it is a trilogy about a dystopian society in post-apocalyptic Chicago. Citizens there are divided into factions according to their predisposition for one of five “virtues”. After reading Divergent, which is intended for an adolescent audience, Citi’s Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of HR was inspired to develop a work space open floor plan based on “neighborhoods”. This plan is a pilot project for a larger initiative called CitiWorks which intends to optimize the company’s work spaces. Studies show that because of travel, vacations, absences, etc., work space is underutilized. Under this...

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...

Philadelphia Must Pay Nearly $900,000 After a Failed Effort To Evict the Boy Scouts
by Tammy on March 22, 2012Good. The Big Elbow of Karma strikes again. As we all know, the BSA is a terrific organization and develops some of the nation’s most remarkable leaders in virtually every field. The attacks on the organization by the Gay Gestapos are simply another attempt to strike at the values and structure that make our nation great. We should all be glad Philadelphia is feeling the sting of their failed effort to appease the left at the expense of the Scouts. Philly owes $877,000 for Boy Scouts’ eviction case The city must pay nearly $900,000 after a failed effort to evict the Boy Scouts of America because of the group’s ban on gays, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. The post-trial ruling...

Reflections From A Free Spirit in The Wild Southwest
by Artgal on April 5, 2011A free spirit. That is how my mother always describes me; therefore, it is only fitting I would live in a state that is the embodiment of the free spirit in every possible way. Apparently, I am in good company in The Old Pueblo and as news unfolds in Arizona (as expected), it will be my pleasure to introduce to you those I am honored to stand with on the frontlines in The New American Revolution. Arizona became a state on Valentine’s Day in 1912 after many tumultuous years surrounded by war and changing territorial claims. For three hundred years, Arizona was claimed by the Spanish who, in fact, named some of the earliest, most prominent regions – like Tucson. After Mexico declared its independence from Spain in...

Lou Dobbs Quitting CNN
by Tammy on November 11, 2009Looks like going rogue is becoming more popular than ever 🙂 His comments on today’s show infer a possible entrance into politics. He met with Roger Ailes of Fox in September. Anything is possible. I think this is good news and it’s about time Dobbs got the stink of CNN off him. I’m sure we’ll see him somewhere soon, continuing to make a difference. Lou Dobbs to Quit CNN Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have made him a TV lightning rod, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news channel effective immediately. Sitting before an image of an American flag on his television set, he said “some leaders in media, politics and business have been...

Child Protection Office Eyeing Balloon Boy Family
by Tammy on October 17, 2009Finally. When you’ve got a kid vomiting during a television interview because the situation is so stressful and you don’t remove him and keep doing the interview and schedule more, that’s a sign something need to be looked at. Balloon case referred to child-protection workers Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said today that his agency has talked with the county’s child-protection agency about the Fort Collins family who lost control of an experimental balloon Thursday. The Sheriff’s Office is now planning to re-interview Richard Heene, his wife and children, after a television appearance in which 6-year-old Falcon Heene said the balloon escape and belief he was aboard was part of “a show.” […] The Associated Press reported this afternoon that...

Shocked In Shockoe Bottom
by Pat_S on September 30, 2009A post by Pat Angry activists gathered outside a Richmond, Virginia strip club decrying abomination! and sounding alarm over the deteriorating standards in America. Prudish church ladies? No. It was the NAACP. The self-described libertarian owner of Club Velvet, Mr. Samuel J.T. Moore III, had unfurled an Obama as The Joker banner outside his building. “This country is going to hell in a handbag,“ Moore said, “and the current administration is making things irreversibly worse.“ Mr. Moore is not the ideal champion of liberty. Moore’s club is awaiting a state Alcoholic Beverage Control hearing on alleged violations. Earlier this year Moore was convicted of three misdemeanor charges related to having sex with a minor and another woman at his apartment...

Sally Quinn’s Peculiar Concern About Sarah Palin
by Pat_S on July 9, 2009A post by Pat Sarah Palin’s announcement opened up the spigots for liberal diatribes against her. They’re falling all over themselves to take a jab at this woman who exhibits too much gusto and independence for their stereotype of a female religious conservative. Sally Quinn chimed in with a column about Palin’s negligent mothering. How peculiar that liberal women who deem themselves feminists are suddenly enamored of stay-at-home child care. It is a superficial, insincere concern that applies only to Sarah Palin. Clearly they think it’s delightful to draw attention to some presumed hypocrisy on Palin’s part for being a religious woman who doesn’t want to stay home and look after the kids. It doesn’t come off because these harpies...

Happy Conservatives, Miserable Liberals
by Tammy on April 1, 2008This week's "Lexington" in "The Economist" was inspired by a new book entitled "Gross National Happiness". Mr Brooks [the author] proposes that whatever their respective merits, the conservative world view is more conducive to happiness than the liberal one (in...
