    After two years of watching how‭ ‬one man‭ ‬presides over the‭ ‬Arizona State Senate,‭ ‬I can no longer withhold my opinion:‭ ‬Andy Biggs lacks the courage of his convictions.‭ ‬I refer specifically to his obstruction of Article V legislation that would add Arizona to the growing list of states applying to Congress for a‭ ‬convention to propose amendments to the Constitution.‭ ‬He‭ ‬claims to‭ ‬fear that state legislators‭ ‬– such as himself and‭ ‬89‭ ‬of his closest colleagues‭ ‬-‭ ‬would lose control of the agenda,‭ ‬risking a re-write of‭ ‬the‭ ‬entire Constitution,‭ ‬despite copious‭ ‬and credible‭ ‬evidence‭ ‬dispelling‭ ‬such concerns...

  • WHAT CHIEF JUSTICE ROY MOORE DID IN ALABAMA

    The elected Chief Justice of Alabama's Supreme Court, Roy Moore, is set to be a guest on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. I don't know what the spin from Wallace will be or from any discussion that will follow, but I did receive emails this week from a Roy Moore supporter. Considering the way the media spins things in a negative way towards those who take a stand against gay marriage, I think it appropriate to share what was being said by Justice Moore supporters. I frankly don't take a position on gay marriage other than it is part...

    The statists are in power and their opposition is limp, half-hearted, nearly impotent. They play chess and high-stakes poker while we play Old Maid. These establishment reprobates have long-term goals coupled with long-term strategy. They are patient, unafraid, undaunted, relentless, always on offense, and on multiple fronts. Witness how many fronts they have opened against the hapless, ordinary, law-abiding, politically ignorant, house-trained citizen--trillion-dollar corporate bailouts, a national debt now estimated at over $100 trillion dollars and growing, Obamacare, Common Core, climate change, huge government land grabs, internet control, unprecedented invasions of privacy by numerous government agencies, millions of the uninvited...

  • Former Archbishop of Canterbury: Christianity on Verge of Becoming Extinct

    A couple of years ago, a former archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, warned Christians that the faith is in danger. Here is the article: http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Christianity-Anglican-Extinct-Carey/2013/11/25/id/538425/ According to the article, only 800,000 people are church-goers in Britain. Britain had a total population of 64 million in 2013. This means that only 1.25 percent of the British population are church-going Christians. The future of America seems to be going in Britain's direction. I wanted to add an update to Lord Carey's observations. A lot of people think the Third World is the future of Christianity. But Brazil, the largest Latin American country,...

  • Gay Marriage Being Forced Down Throats via Alabama Newspapers

    The Alabama newspapers have been slamming their gay agenda down the throats Alabama readers for several weeks. As you can see, it's one story after another. The newspapers are putting those in support of same sex marriage as being on the morally correct side. It is absolutely repulsive how they're pushing this agenda. I'll add that I am shocked how frequently and hard they've been pushing it down reader's throats. It's a war of moral values.

    Troy Vincent is the Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the NFL... According to news reports such as this one from ESPN he claims that Ryan Grigson, the General Manager of the Colts alerted the NFL to deflated footballs during the AFC Championship, and that it was his decision to follow through with an inspection of the balls, without informing his boss Roger Goodell. Keep in mind, the PSI of an NFL football has NEVER been inspected at the half-time of any NFL game in history... EVER! And here is the rub... Troy Vincent has strong ties to the...

    Rights and responsibilities EDITOR: I’m so tired of people who don’t have their children vaccinated because they claim they have the right not to have their children vaccinated. I suggest they read the preamble to the Constitution, from which our rights are derived. The preamble clearly states that one of the purposes of the Constitution is “to promote the general welfare.” It seems to me that means that the general welfare is more important than individuals. I believe it was the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes who said, “The right to swing my fist ends where the other...

    Only a Muslim, like Obama, would blame American Christians for the Crusades at a prayer breakfast for all faiths. “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.” Think about it, who would blame Christians at a peaceful American prayer breakfast for the Inquisition done in Spain? Who would denigrate Americans for the European Crusades into the...

    Has anyone noticed that the nation’s leftist socialists are using the very same tactic with Islamic Terrorists [ISIS] as they incessantly use with the Nazis and other Socialists? Talk to any of the Leftists on the national socialist scene and they will go incandescent if you accurately attribute that the Nazi were socialists. It’s part of their freaking name for Pete’s sake: German Nationalsozialistische [deutsche Arbeiter-Partei] (National SOCIALIST [German Workers' Party])But that doesn’t deter leftists from denying reality. They will also deny that the USSR was Socialist… Even though THAT is also in their very name: Union of Soviet SOCIALIST...

What makes it a topic is that in many cases these people don’t care to know why. Discussing the topic often reveals that they don’t believe the Constitution. limits the government’s legislative powers Are you wondering what that topic has to do with packet switching and the many layers of Internet related protocols?

    Skynews is reporting on demonstrations in Madrid, Spain saying they are in response to austerity measures. The State Department has a travel warning to American's suggesting the demonstrations are regarding economic issues. BUT, a search shows that the demonstrations are in response to a 'security law' that limits demonstrations in Spain and an 'Anti-Islam' demonstration law. So I ask, which is it or is it both?
  • Investigator: AirAsia plane wobbled, climbed and triggered stall warning

    01/29/2015 2:30:21 PM PST · by Java4Jay · 17 replies
    Cruising at 32,000 feet amid stormy weather, about 11:12 p.m. UTC the pilot asked control whether it could ascend to 38,000 feet. They then ascended to 37,400 feet in about 30 seconds in a steep climb. Commercial planes are not designed to ascend so quickly, it may have been climbing at a rate twice as fast as it could and should. The stall warnings -- which blare the words "Stall, Stall" -- went on as the plane started the steep climb and continued until it crashed, according to information on the flight data recorder.
