Pawn Stars slot machine at Hollywood Casino in Columbus

"Love their show. Hate the casino that Ohioans voted down several times. When Penn National moved it out of the Arena district to the depressed Hilltop, it passed. Construction workers got jobs, prostitution increased, but usually these places bring in their own people for the best paying jobs. This is just glamorized organized crime regardless of whom they bring in for entertainment. Columbus will pay in social costs down the road. I think the excuse was we could keep all that money in the state.

When was the last time you checked your shut off valves?

Check your shut off valves. We're remodeling 2 bathrooms; toilets and shut off valves will be replaced. And while we're at it, we'll have our other shut off values also replaced. A neighbor with an identical unit the same age (1977), had one break a few days ago at night, and the damage wasn't found until morning. It will be some extra cost we hadn't planned on, but will be worth it.

Choose your weapon—cell phone or rifle

Distracted driving, aka talking texting on a cell phone, is estimated to cause 333,000 total injuries, and 2600 fatalities annually. (JAMA, vol. 309, no. 9. p. 877)  In 2010 there were 358 murders involving rifles. (Wikipedia)  Gun violence has been dropping for 20 years (DOJ, Bureau of Statistics), while cell phone deaths have been increasing. The President is proposing new federal restrictions on gun ownership, which won't affect criminals at all, only law abiding citizens. And he is giving away cell phones.

So the government is actually killing people with free cell phones! The federal government gives away "Obama phones," a misnomer since the program was begun under Reagan in 1984 (Lifeline) with land lines so the poor would have a phone, and Bush expanded it to cell phones in 2008. Mean old nasty Republicans who didn't care about the poor.

Who remembers

I remember eating at the Woolworth's in Dixon, Illinois when shopping with my mother. I checked on line and it opened in 1914 and closed in 1988.  Which means she may have eaten there when shopping with her mother.  This photo is not that store—it wasn’t that large, but I think they all looked similar.  The Dixon store had a bad fire (according to Lee Co. history) in 1943, and was rebuilt.  As I recall, there was also a Woolworth’s in Champaign, Illinois.

How long?

Why I don’t contribute to the University of Illinois—Bill Ayers

Terrorist Kathy Boudin who killed 2 policemen and a Brinks guard teaches at Columbia University and terrorist and Obama buddy Bill Ayers has retired from teaching education at the University of Illinois (Ayers raised her son). When the U. of I. sends me an appeal for money, I return it with a note about Ayers and why I'm not giving them money. I hope Columbia graduates do the same.

The same progressives who want Americans who haven't hurt anyone to disarm, welcome these gun toting educators who actually killed people into the classroom to teach young Americans.

How to create a new housing crisis

The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) evolved to the mess that gave us lower standards for mortgages and the meltdown of 2007. Now Obama wants one of his own and is pushing loosened standards for credit and home ownership again. Now all we need is packaging the loans and selling them. What a concept.

The education of poor and minority children hijacked again

It's no wonder McDonald's is asking for a Bachelor degree for their cashiers if the schools are teaching that we have a racist, sexist, homophobic society instead of teaching kids math, science, reading, grammar, and speaking in complete sentences. This is a travesty for poor and minority children to have their education hijacked by social change agents. http://www.examiner.com/article/teacher-training-program-focusing-on-white-privilege-exposed-wisconsin

Maybe they are looking for management material to hire from within?

I watched Wendy’s train a young man in a jobs program about 20 years ago. He started with wiping tables and sweeping floors, and his trainers sat in a booth and checked his work. Then he moved to the kitchen where he prepared orders then eventually got to cashier. I thought he was developmentally disabled when he started, but in a year’s time, they’d brought him up to bachelor degree level.

Maryland Teen testifies about her gun rights

Obama is out campaigning on the graves of the Sandy Hook children again.  He ignored all the dead children killed in Chicago in 2012.  "You owe it to the children who died at Sandy Hook, . . ." President Obama on the campaign trail. What about the 107 black children who died in Chicago in 2012, the city with very strict gun laws, a city with no civilian gun ranges and bans on both assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, Mr. President.

Our handsome president has a slight deformity

Sequestration did not cause a rise in poverty!

Poverty at highest levels since the 60s and the sequestration that Obama agreed to is to blame? That's ridiculous. The standard for poverty has widened, and deepened, so now with a low income, the redistribution scheme called the war on poverty that gave them food stamps, housing, WIC, EITC, Medicaid, college support, TANF, bringing the income of a single mom with 2 children to about $60,000 can hardly be called poverty.

More income inequality under Obama?  That’s a no brainer.  The more wealth you transfer to the lower income from the middle class, the less likely they will be to move themselves up the income and career ladder.  Then more in the middle class slip into the low income group.  It’s almost as if it was done by design!

Better check your math. . .

If marriage doesn’t matter. . .

One of the reasons gay marriage has such strong support among the young is they don't believe marriage matters anyway, so why not let it not matter to everyone? When was the last time you attended a wedding where the couple hadn't either been living together, or had 1 or 2 children accompany them? The wedding isn't a commitment; it's just another party. Fewer and fewer weddings are held in churches--check any bride's magazine.

Conservative values; yet they vote for politicians who will kill brown babies and bless gay marriage

Interesting to watch and listen to the black Republicans/Conservatives on the Beck show tonight tell about their growing up years on the plantation--they thought George Wallace was a Republican; they thought the KKK was a Republican organization; they thought if you were born black you must be a Democrat. Hosted by Dana Loesch, a conservative talk radio host, CNN contributor, and guest host at TheBlaze TV .

Our falling fertility rate

"Chinese women have a fertility rate of 1.54. Here in America, white, college-educated women—a good proxy for the middle class—have a fertility rate of 1.6. America has its very own one-child policy. And we have chosen it for ourselves." Replacement rate is 2.1.
