Once again, the Supreme Court failed to exercise “judicial restraint” and opted to actively legislate from the bench by deciding that homosexuals have a “right” to marry in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. Five unelected lawyers decided to do away with our democratic process and power of our legislatures and redefine the word “marriage” […]

The other day when I turned on my computer and loaded my Yahoo page, it read, in bold letters: “Bruce Jenner Gender Change Captures US Attention.” Capture (v.) 1. to take captive; seize or catch by force or craft. 2. to win possession or control of, as in a contest. 3. to succeed in preserving […]

Well, in my opinion, at George Washington University, not much. A few weeks ago, the Young America’s Foundation, interviewed some students there, and the video shows the results. Only 6 out of 30 students knew that we’d be commemorating 9/11 the following week. How could any 18-22 year old NOT know about 9/11? My 6-year […]

This is a perfect example of how political correctness has run amok in this country. One person is “offended” by something, so the rest of us – who are in the vast majority – have to cowtow to that one person. We see it everyday in other situations where a small minority of people, such […]

Some people are just pathetic. Some people will do just about anything to be noticed. Some wear provocative clothing. Some dye their hair blue. Some get lots of tattoos. Some sit in trees protesting the go ahead of an already-approved building project. Such is the case of Chiara D’Angelou, who decided she didn’t have anything […]

This is precisely why I’ll never run out of things to write about even if I don’t always have the time to do so. I woke up the other morning. Beautiful day. Sunny. Cool. We’re going to Seattle this afternoon to see a show. Perfect. I open my news page and what is the first […]

Over the past several years, I’ve thought about the kids I graduated with from 8th grade in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. We went to St. Stanislaus Kostka School together for nine years. We all lived in the same neighborhood. I don’t remember anyone whose mother wasn’t a housewife. Every father worked. Parents were not divorced. No one […]
Posted on December 21, 2013 by Leona in celebrities, culture, Kanye West, why do they have a job?
I agree with President Obama on just one thing – Kanye West. In 2009, when Mr. West stole Taylor Swift’s thunder at some award show, the President called him a jackass for doing so. Now, Mr. West continues his stupid and/or delusional behavior by saying the following: “I’m just giving of my body on […]

While this story comes from across the pond, there’s no doubt in my mind that we’ll be hearing more and more stories like this here at home. The ever-growing welfare state in the United States will make sure of that. Lisa and Carrie-Ann Beaney currently live in a taxpayer-paid “single B&B room” in England with […]
