Washington Republicans on Sunday restated their argument that President Obama has violated the Constitution by using executive orders to alter the Affordable Care Act but acknowledged they likely have no recourse or ability to stop another incident.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, told “Fox News Sunday” that congressional Republicans think the president abused the government’s separation of powers by using the executive orders to sidestep Congress and delay the law’s employer mandate.   Continue reading “Republicans: Obama violating Constitution, but little can be done about it”

On Friday, the Department of Justice sent a letter to the Missoula County Attorney’s Office in Montana, alleging that it has found “substantial evidence” that prosecutors there systematically discriminate against female sexual-assault victims. According to the DOJ, the office considers sexual-assault cases involving adult women a low priority, often treats these victims with disrespect—quoting religious passages to one woman who reported assault, in a way that made her feel judged—and declines to prosecute some cases in which it has confessions or eyewitnesses, including a case in which Missoula police obtained incriminating statements from a man who admitted to having sexual intercourse with a mentally ill woman, who had asked him to stop.   Continue reading “Montana Prosecutor Allegedly Told Mother of 5-Year-Old Sexual-Assault Victim That “Boys Will Be Boys””

Uncle Ben’s rice has been a staple in many American households for years, but now their ‘fortified’ rice variety has been proven to be full of toxic constituents that cause headaches, nausea, and skin rashes, among other undesirable symptoms. The FDA is issuing a recall, just days after the product was reported to be loaded with heavy metals. Uncle Ben isn’t so family friendly, it turns out.  

The rice is also full of MSG, toxic arsenic, and synthetic B vitamins. Within the FDA’s recall notice, the public school illnesses associated with rice consumption were mentioned:   Continue reading “One of America’s Most Popular Rice Brands is Full of Toxic Chemicals: FDA Recall”

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — They’re hidden in babies’ diapers, ramen noodle soup packages, footballs, soda cans and even body cavities.

Not drugs or weapons, but cellphones. They’re becoming a growing problem in prisons across the country as they are used to make threats, plan escapes and for inmates to continue to make money from illegal activity even while behind bars.   Continue reading “Prisoners’ use of smuggled cellphones on the rise”

Can you identify a “gay” hooker in New York City and try to understand his way of life?

If so, the federal government may have a half-million-dollar grant for you – if the federal payouts to a left-leaning government contractor are any indication.   Continue reading “IRS ‘trusted partner’ on hunt for sex workers”

This will be written from the first person plural… and I am it!

I’ll do the writing in somewhat of a hurry, in that, to do otherwise might cause a delay of the finished..number 2

The preferable manner is to do the delay. That manner allows the hot chocolate to cool a bit……..and also, I can order my dog to cast off my lap and I don’t like lap dogs…Christ, he is rather large. and only believes its his place, when the nonverbal communicai is in his favor……….Now:  Where have i put myself in that scene?  You Know Where.  Continue reading “From a Mason Jar, 2”

Randomly finding out there’s a warrant out for your arrest that you weren’t aware of has to suck, but finding out it’s for not returning a crappy Jennifer Lopez movie you rented almost a decade ago has to suck ten times more.

That’s reportedly what happened to South Carolina resident Kayla Finley, who spent a night in Pickens County Jail after going there to report a crime herself. Her charge? Petite larceny for failing to return a copy of Monster-in-Law she had forgotten she rented back in 2005:   Continue reading “Woman Jailed for Forgetting to Return J-Lo VHS She Rented 9 Years Ago”

A son of a Scottish Farmer (an immigrant), named, Landis Mason, (that’s the son) patented his jar in 1858 in the United States.

And  so it began, the Mason Jar!

It had a threaded neck and a screw on lid, as hot liquids cooled, a seal was formed first time ever!

I want to talk about the United Nations Small Arms Treaty. I have written a couple of articles about it before, but in light of some recent developments, like the European Union calling for the ratification of the treaty among European Union states, it may be time to discuss it again. Also, let’s not forget the UN just issued resolution 2117, which calls for member states to collect civilian arms and destroy them. My friends, you only need to look at Australia, Canada and Britain to see that civilian disarmament is their goal.   Continue reading “UN Small Arms Treaty: Eighty Million Determined Gun Owners Should be Quite an Obstacle To Its Enforcement”
