Identical Twin Studies Prove Homosexuality is Not GeneticOrthodox Net – by Mark Ellis

Eight major studies of identical twins in Australia, the U.S., and Scandinavia during the last two decades all arrive at the same conclusion: gays were not born that way.

“At best genetics is a minor factor,” says Dr. Neil Whitehead, PhD. Whitehead worked for the New Zealand government as a scientific researcher for 24 years, then spent four years working for the United Nations and International Atomic Energy Agency. Most recently, he serves as a consultant to Japanese universities about the effects of radiation exposure. His PhD is in biochemistry and statistics.   Continue reading “Identical Twin Studies Prove Homosexuality is Not Genetic”

Let me begin by saying that the deal the U.S. struck with Iran on November 24 is so criminally stupid that mobs with torches and pitchforks should be surrounding the White House and Department of State demanding that the President and Secretary of State resign.

How many times does the United States have to make really bad deals with really bad nations? And then call it progress!   Continue reading “The Prospect of World War Three”

3d printed gun test fire house vote 1.jpgFox News

WASHINGTON –  The House is expected to vote late Monday on renewing a 25-year-old law that bans the production of undetectable guns, in an age when new technology could open the door to at-home production of plastic weapons.

The law itself is set to expire on Dec. 9, and lawmakers are divided on whether to renew it.   Continue reading “House set to vote on bill banning plastic guns amid 3D printing worries”

BANGKOK –  Thailand’s prime minister said Monday she is willing to do anything it takes to end violent protests against her government and restore peace, but cannot accept the opposition’s “unconstitutional” demand to hand power to an unelected council.

A National Rifle Association affiliate says Massachusetts is “abusing” law-abiding citizens by delaying the issuance of firearm licenses beyond the time frame outlined by state law.

The Gun Owners Action League (GOAL), which represents 16,000 members in Massachusetts and is the official state affiliate of the NRA, reports that many people applying for licenses have been experiencing long delays.    Continue reading “NRA: Massachusetts ‘abusing’ citizens by slow-walking gun license approval”

Ever since Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis, his “common man” approach to the world has impressed observers and made many Catholics feel closer to their church. For just about as long, activists in and outside of the Catholic Church have tried to claim him as a voice for the Left.

Despite some early confusion introduced by an interviewer with an agenda, the pope’s words and actions relating to abortion, gay marriage, contraception, the ordination of women, and more clearly have taken him out of that camp as far as social doctrine is concerned. Economic policy, however, seems still up for grabs.   Continue reading “Rush Limbaugh and the Pope”

Mayor Michael Bloomberg was in Bermuda on Sunday when a train derailed in the Bronx, the most recent time that the mayor has been out of town when a major incident in New York City occurred, a person familiar with the matter said.

Hollywood, Fla.  Standing here on the streets of Hollywood with two comely Obamacare cheerleaders by my side, I’m feeling fired up and ready to go. I’m feeling like the change I’ve been waiting for. I’m feeling like whatever Obama cliché you can think of. And all I want to say, like the late Todd Beamer before me, is, “Let’s roll.” Or more like, “Let’s enroll.” Because much as Beamer, God rest his soul, took on the terrorists who tried to take down America, we are now in a similar cataclysmic fight: the fight to guarantee that every American has the right to buy overpriced health insurance on a glitchy website, under threat of punitive tax penalties.    Continue reading “Hard Sell: Going door-to-door for Obamacare”

Yesterday, while the rest of the world was captivated by a twerking turkey, Ashton Kutcher faced off with Wal-Mart over the retail giant’s low wages. On Twitter. Because of course it was on Twitter.

The Twitter showdown started when Kutcher tweeted criticism of an Ohio Wal-Mart’s holiday drive for its own employees who are facing “unforeseen hardships.”   Continue reading “Ashton Kutcher Stands Up for Wal-Mart Workers Rights… What?”

Amid all the privacy concerns about cellphone tracking, one important group is arguing that location data isn’t precise enough: emergency responders.

Police and others say 911 dispatchers are having trouble sending help to callers who use cellphones. The reason: unlike a landline, cellphones provide just a rough estimate—with a possible radius of a few hundred yards—of the caller’s location.   Continue reading “Cellphones Leave Gaps for Emergency Services”

In the 2012 highest-grossing documentary, “2016: Obama’s America,” political commentator Dinesh D’Souza made some startling predictions about the second term of Barack Obama – and now he has released a fresh, eight-minute addition to the film revealing how the president plans to “take America down a notch.”

D’Souza explains, “One of the predictions is that Obama would spend money promiscuously to raise the debt in virtual indifference to the impact of the debt on American citizens. In fact, Obama has been racking up the debt at the rate of $1 trillion a year. The debt has doubled in Obama’s term in office.”   Continue reading “‘2016’: Obama plans to ‘take America down’”

WEB Notes: You really want to take note when the big boys make moves like this. We would like to add the official unemployment rate is a joke and it has not stabilized. There are currently a “record high 91.5 million people not included in the labor force.” There are only 320 million men, woman and children in the United States. The unemployment rate is far higher than what we are being told.
