In China, I noticed no 4th floors in most multi-story buildings, just as American high rises often omit a 13th floor as unlucky. In Hong Kong, floor numbers will skip from “3” to “5,” from “13” to “15,” from “23” to “25” and so on. It was explained that the number “4” is considered extremely unlucky, and numbers ending in “4” are generally shunned. License plate numbers in China rarely end in “4.” Cell phone numbers ending in “4” are avoided. The reason is the Chinese characters for “4” and “death,” ... continue reading »

As you are probably aware, radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham was recently interviewed by “Fox and Friends” regarding the coming midterm elections and the 2016 presidential election. Ms. Ingraham stated that polls indicate Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush were the top contenders, and when asked if she has a pick for the 2016 presidential candidate, Ms. Ingraham replied she does not and added, “The establishment always wins.”

First of all, I am highly suspicious of the source of any polling data that would support conspicuous RINOs such as Romney and/or Bush. For those of us who are even somewhat informed about our p ... continue reading »

Talk about a non-issue [“Brand new call: No marriage licenses for anyone”]. The Knapps can simply change their status from a for-profit organization to a religious one, and they will not have to perform any odious gay marriages. Just as a lunch counter has to serve blacks, if you are providing public accommodation, you cannot discriminate. That is as American as apple pie. The law allows a religious exemption. Why would they not use it?

The Knapps have not been charged with anything. This is victimhood to the extreme. Again, just cha ... continue reading »

Licenses? Religious freedoms? Whatever happened plain old property rights, which included the inherent right to refuse service to anyone for any reason? That concept seems to have been lost over the years as we have focused on “religious” refusals. Why can’t a business owner just determine his own rules of engagement? If the marketplace determines he is not serving the public properly, then he will go out of business.

Our Constitution provides that a person’s property cannot be taken from them without a payment of fair va ... continue reading »

Is this still America? Recently, Houston’s mayor, Her Highness Annise Parker, “ordered” legitimate Christian pastors of local churches to submit their sermons for city government “review” so she could make sure no “inappropriate” LGBT comments were contained therein.

Where is the liberal outcry for separation of church and state? This is also clearly an infringement of the First Amendment. Where is the ACLU outcry?

This is going on in Texas? In the 1830s, the Mexican government “ordered” some Texans to give up a small swivel cannon mounted on a block house in Gonzales, Te ... continue reading »

Legion demons are laughing. The greatest prize on earth is America, and Satan has taken possession of the White House. It’s quite the cosmic joke in the bowels of Hell. The impostor used by the minions is not legally qualified to sit as president. Dante would have had a field day with this one.
