A Fresno, California, Salvation Army volunteer in need of his own turn of fortune found $125,000 that fell from a Brinks truck on Tuesday — and he gave it back.
Joe Cornell, who told outlets he’s in rehab and had just $1 for lunch that day, told the Fresno Bee he began to shake when he came upon the loot. Continue reading “So A Guy With Just $1 For Lunch Finds $125,000 That Fell From A Brinks Truck..”

Internet Class of 2014, I’m in awe of you! To this giant, darkened auditorium filled with sparkling screens of every sort, welcome!
It would, of course, be inaccurate to say, as speakers like me once did, that after four years of effort and experience you are now about to leave the hallowed halls of this campus and graduate into a new and adult world. The odds are that you aren’t. You were graduated into that world long ago. I’m not sure that it qualifies as adult at all, but a new world it surely is, and one I grasp so little that I feel I should be in the audience and you up here doing what graduation speakers normally do: offering an upbeat, even inspirational, explanation of our world and your place in it.

An independent board within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services today ruled that a Medicare policy from 1989 that categorically excluded transition-related medical procedures, regardless of medical need, is unreasonable and invalid based on today’s medical science.
In response to this development, National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) Executive Director Mara Keisling issued the following statement: Continue reading “Federal Board Overturns Medicare Exclusion of Transition-Related Care”

In a column she wrote for the Daily Beast, Erica Lafferty, who lost her mother in the Newtown, Connecticut, school shootings in 2012, ridicules as “disgusting” recent comments Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher made about the Santa Barbara shootings.
Wurzelbacher, who became something of a celebrity during the 2008 presidential campaign after a debate between President Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain, recently wrote an open letter to the parents of the University of California, Santa Barbara, college students who were killed earlier this month. Continue reading “‘Joe the Plumber’ an out-of-touch gun ‘extremist,’ says Sandy Hook principal’s daughter”
People never really recover from the death of a child. How much more difficult, then, is it to deal with the deaths of other children whom your child has killed? Most parents are not able to talk about it publicly. But the statement released by the parents of the young man who killed six other young people at the University of Santa Barbara over the weekend is illuminating.
Elliot Rodger’s mother and father, who were on their way to their son when they heard about the murders and all their worst fears came true, asked a family friend, Simon Astaire, to release a statement to the media. Continue reading “Elliot Rodger’s Parents Break Silence on Shooting”

What gives?
The Hill reported that, “Banks are breathing a sigh of relief after established GOP incumbents bested a handful of Tea Party challengers at the polls recently.” Continue reading “Socialism or Liberty? Which one, South Carolina?”

In his highly anticipated new book and movie “America,” conservative author Dinesh D’Souza is warning that Hillary Clinton won’t be a clone of her moderate husband, but will instead take the baton from President Obama to continue radicalizing the country and “undo the nation’s founding ideals.”
“America — Imagine a World Without Her,” published by Regnery and set for release Monday, charges that as students of radical organizer Saul Alinsky, Obama and Clinton could have enough time to “unmake and then remake America” into a nation the founding fathers wouldn’t recognize. Continue reading “Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘America’ warns Hillary Clinton will ‘finish off’ the country”
This is an old rant of mine, but I really think people need to wake up on this topic.
There is absolutely no excuse or reason to construct a home with wood. Yet when you look through the building codes in place all across America, wood is predominantly the only thing allowed even in tornado zones and I beg to question why. Actually, I have the answer but I will get to that later, and the answer came from a building contractor in Utah. The answer is cold hard proof of why you can’t construct a home in America out of solid concrete. Continue reading “American homes in fact very poor quality”
First Shinseki and now Carney. Everyone seems to be fleeing today.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama disclosed he’s losing his chief spokesman on the same day that the president came to the White House briefing room to personally announce the resignation of his Veterans Affairs secretary.
