    What does Trump need to do so as to raise his approval rating?

    He could admit he’s living his life with himself with himself solidly on the throne. Repent of that. Ask forgiveness from God and everyone he’s harmed, cheated, lied to, or insulted. Begin loving others more than his own life. Dedicate his life to serving God through serving others, especially...

    Driverless Cars Made Me Nervous. Then I Tried One.

    I’m looking forward to driverless cars becoming a common means of transportation. I just retired this year, and while I’m still a few years away from Medicare age, I know there will a time ahead of me when I’ll need to start cutting back on driving, and eventually stop. No one wants to lose...

    An uneasy Florida braces for white supremacist speech and protests

    I'm rather fond of this idea from Alligator Brewing Co. for dealing with Spencer and his ilk.

    Criticized for not commenting on soldiers killed in action, Trump falsely says Obama did even less

    Personally, for me, I try to keep in mind that the One I want to follow with all my heart told us that He is the Truth. I know there are volumes that could be written and spoken about that, and that it is wisdom deeper and richer than my small mind can comprehend. But somewhere in there, I have...

    Criticized for not commenting on soldiers killed in action, Trump falsely says Obama did even less

    This makes me so very sad because Trump's absence when our troops arrive home in caskets is disrespectful to the people we have lost, and downright thoughtless and cold toward their families. And his slowness in contacting the families is inexcusable. He's all about the military when he's...

    Video: Pastor Trump addresses the nation on the LV atrocity

    Democratic President, tulc. Adjectives, you know. I heard this poor, suffering grammar calling out to me and returned from the Real World to set things right again.

    Who would be a worse President?

    I think Trump would be the worst of the choices because he is the most self-absorbed. I think he has a brittle character. He takes all comments personally. He is unable to rise above anything he perceives as a insult. He cannot abide anything that he views as a personal insult without...

    Will You Pay to Watch the Sarah Palin Channel?

    Nah, I don't need to. John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver will be watching it and I'll hear all the good stuff from them. :)

    Orphan Black

    I love this show!! It's gripping, gritty, and has a strong vein of dark humor. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you can look past the adults-only aspects of it, this is brilliant for its complexity and intensity. I'm a TV snob, and most of what's on these days I consider not worth...

    What's the saying? Beauty is only skin deep, but stupid goes all the way to the bone.

    Tea Party wants to take America back -- to the 18th century

    My husband has been assuring me for a few years that as people see the Tea Party's true colors, they will reject it. Now I'm watching the TP's approval rating drop like a rock and am thrilled that people are wising up. I love it when he's right!

    The Problem is Not Guns

    I understand that someone determined to kill will find a way to do that. However, if someone comes after you with a knife or a bat, they have to catch you to hurt you. But a person with an automatic weapon can mow down a dozen innocent people from across a room - or theater or whatever venue...

    Pew: No, really, MSNBC is worse than Fox.

    Exactly. I watch MSNBC sometimes. I like Rachel Maddow. But I know she's not objective. I don't expect her to be. I expect her to articulate a liberal position on issues of the day. The FOX viewers among my friends and family actually think FOX is fair and objective. I should give them...

    How Conservative Media Failed the Rank and File

    "If you're a rank-and-file conservative, you're probably ready to acknowledge that ideologically friendly media didn't accurately inform you about Election 2012... On the biggest political story of the year, the conservative media just got its <backside> handed to it by the mainstream media. And...
