Standard & Poor's took the unprecedented step of downgrading the U.S. 

government's AAA sovereign credit rating Friday in a move that could send shock…

B"H. 

I hope we can all understand that we are all frustrated with where we are. And Democrats are part of our numbers, as well as Republicans, Independents and Libertarians. So personal and party slams will only divide us and drain the energy we need to win next November!! The issues and only the issues need to be our focus and how to solve them from here. It is important, though, that the history of something or someone be examined. It's like in the medical field (of which I am…

I try to read a variety of things every day and some articles actually counter, to a point, other articles.........the things that seems to stay uniform is how badly Obama is doing in polls.  This was quite positive for the tea party though :)!  The suggestions made made me chuckle considering who they recommended it to and given the total inflexibility of Obama (and how well he handles advise that runs counter to how he thinks things…

The actual numbers for new jobs is now out and this came close as the real number is 117,000 which falls 8,000 short of the number of work visas we issued last month................we are losing and need to lower the number of work visas issued until such time as Americans are back to work.  This article offers some solutions and examples;

Guess the market wasn't so worried about the debt ceiling, but it was concerned about the economy............too bad our executive branch of government didn't get it right...........yet again!

By Matt Egan…

Has anyone noticed of late, the communists in our government are doing their level best to silence all who do not agree with them?  Obama is calling the tea party extremists..........not good, and this guy (loser that he is), doesn't think we should get any media coverage..........back like it was when we first took action and they totally ignored us?  I think, for what little I know, is that Obama is doing so badly, he hopes to gain more traction if he can silence those who do…

 

I knew the kids would not behave.  I just knew it.

Their past should have told me they would lie again.  I just wanted to believe they would change their ways.  They would make a promise and say they would be good and we…

B"H.  I don't know if it's such a good thing to jump on the "Hasner: I know Marco Rubio" bandwagon just yet. His rhetoric sounds conservative, but have you looked up some of the stuff he's supported or initiated? To most conservatives it isn't pretty!  I think there is a "body-snatcher" scenario going on here. It's like Rinos and Dems are going to night classes to learn how to articulate in "Conservo-Speak". Maybe it was when they saw the Reagan book in OB's hand and he actually tried to…

We have been redistributing the wealth since as far back as I can remember.  Many of us are church members and give regularly. After retiring from a 25-or  30 year position or job, many of us do volunteer work, some long enough to retire a second time with 5, 10, or 15 years of volunteer service.  We get requests every day, almost, from one of the city charities or soup kitchens and we send them  checks; Very often, it's to help with Thanksgiving, Christmas dinners, etc.  We buy name…

Spare Us the Sermons, Mr. President

Victor Davis Hanson;  8/4/2011

During the recent debt crisis, President Obama talked about the need for bipartisan compromise and, as in the past, urged civility. Giving ground and engaging in polite discourse, of course, can be noble aims. But, like most one-eyed-jack politicians, Obama has rarely embraced the admirable qualities he advocates -- a fact increasingly evident to a skeptical…

Well, I am sure getting rid of "tony the tiger" was as important to you as it was to me, so can we all say thank goodness the president borrowed a whopping 3.8 billion in borrowed money and another 5.7 billion in taxpayer money to take care of all those pesky critters on the cereal boxes.  I know, with the economy in the tank and the stock market tanking, it was high on my priority list..............and surely was on yours too since the president made it a priority!   Although…

And we all knew this, so it should not come as a surprise to anyone.  It is the reason we fought against the debt ceiling being raised.

The American Age of Austerity lasted approximately three minutes, give or take a nanosecond. Immediately after the Senate approved the bipartisan “Budget Control Act of 2011″ on Tuesday afternoon, President Obama hustled over to the Rose Garden — to crow about the…

This one will make your blood boil.  The unmitigated gaul of this monster is not to be believed.............if he can't get the donations, he will just use taxpayer money I guess.

City leaders continuously make decisions they claim that they know better than we, tax payers, what is best for us and are done in "The Peoples" best interest.

Twice a year the City is allowed to make changes to the CIP. The CIP if your unfamiliar is the CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) and likened to the Constitution of the City for capital improvements we are all accountable for paying for but have NO input unless its done just after introduction. This folks is great deal of money on…

This needs to be looked into deeply but the site WILL NOT open the attachment. Its been a week since introduced.

Our CIP is a Rule of Law and likened to the Constitution for our City for Capital projects. 

Everyone should be concerned this folks is a lot of money $$

Bill Summary: The bill adopts the 2012-16 Capital Improvement Program for the city and provides for the amendment of the Capital Improvements Element of the 2012 Comprehensive Plan to reflect…

The month of August is filled with many opportunities for you to connect with other members of the tea party.  There is something for everyone and this month we are holding a special showing of a world-class documentary, Agenda: The Grinding Down of America.

Ways to Balance the Budget

Dear Colleague,

Nearly everyone in Washington agrees we must reduce the deficit, but few offer any specifics as to how to do it. Last week, I…

As I listened to Neil Cavuto, I was moved to disbelief when he acquiesced into silence at the explanation of a congressman that a "Super Congess" was a good thing, to "free up" the legislators to tend to other business. Excuse me! That IS their business! Neil knows finances, but not so much in matters of republic. Ugh!!

It is a sad commentary when even the conservatives…
