Thought Criminal Mychal Massie Calls Out ‘Present’ Obama

by Smitty Here is a rant that deserves wide dissemination: Leaders understand their job is to lead, and to instill in their team, if you will, the desire to follow. Not by constraint or out of fear but out of a knowingness by the players that if they follow they will be better individually and […]

Columbine Survivor Rhetorically Punches The Boot On The Throat Twice As Hard

by Smitty This is an excellent response, rooted in a tragic topic: Columbine survivor Evan Todd released an open letter to President Barack Obama on Wednesday in which he offers a point-by-point analysis of proposed firearms control initiatives, dismissing them as ineffective and dangerous to Americans’ rights.

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

That’s right, folks. Another corrupt Chicago Democrat — but I repeat myself — is on his way to federal prison: With moist eyes and soft voices, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife pleaded guilty to federal charges on Wednesday related to years of using campaign funds for personal expenses that included purchases […]
