Remembering Steve Jobs (Apple)

There are a few days in history when you will never forget where you were. For all of those people out there with an IPAD, IPHONE, or any other Apple product, today is one of those days. It is even more so for those who looked at and to Steve Jobs as not only a pioneer in the field of technology but in the field of capitalism. He took what he knew, with his partner Steve Wozniak, and in the basement of his parents home he started what would become one of the largest companies that this world has ever seen.  read more »

Wall Street Protests Turn Larger, Threats Made to NYSE

It seems what I hoped, and many others hoped, would not happen is actually happening. I hoped to see an end to these protests before they got larger and, sooner or later, violent, but I am not sure that is going to happen. What we have seen in London and Greece is on our doorstep, and we must now deal with the reality that America, once and for all, is a nation of individuals who will look to their government to save them before they look at themselves for help.  read more »

Obama Campaign Complains GOP Blocking Jobs Bill After Reid Blocks Jobs Bill

After almost three years of hearing the same old insane comments from this White House and this President, the President’s campaign decides to jump on board and try to catch up to the stupid train.  read more »

What I am about to post for you here is real. This comes from an Occupy Wall Street Website, posted by an individual by the name of Lloyd J. Hart. While I am ready to get into what is being said on this website, a little background information is needed so all of you know about what is being said here. While searching through the website and entering the “About” section, the author of the website is very clear to state that this is NOT an official Occupy Wall Street website and members are not connected with other groups in the movement, although all in the movement are welcome to come to the website and form up in the fight against…well…we will get to that in just a moment.  read more »

Chevy Volt A Flop

To be fair, and to not make this seem as if I was sitting here since the beginning saying this car would flop, there was a time when I thought it would do very well for GM. However, that was during a different time, and as gas prices go up and down, the people are just not ready to spend the money on a vehicle that may nor may not save them money in the end. We have learned from sales reports that GM sold 723 Volts in the past month, much less then their goals and only totaling about 3,895 shipped off the lot total for the car this year.  read more »

TSA Strikes Again, Pats Down Breast Cancer Survivor

This is more than I can handle sometimes, and at this early hour when many are sleeping I am awake and alert to the stupidity that is ruling the day here in America.  read more »

What do you get when you put together a man with a microphone who supports Ron Paul and protesters who really do not know what they are protesting against: You get this video, which by the way either will make you laugh, cry, or vomit. While I would agree that Ron Paul may be better than what we have now, that is not the argument for this blog. The video, done by a gentlemen named Adam Kokesh, went around D.C. asking those who were sitting in for the “Occupy Washington” rally what they thought about the economy, the wars, and government control of certain aspects of our lives. What I find the most amusing, even if it does give me pause about the future of this nation, is that most of these individuals are college kids just wanting a free ride.

All they want the government to do is give them something for free, in the name of social justice.

We have heard this phrase before and it is one we must not forget, because it is one that will be used in the ideological battle for the future of this nation. No matter if these young college kids realize it or not, they are advocating the government taking an even bigger role in our lives. They have a lot to complain about but never seem to mention the role government plays in all areas that they complain about. is it not funny, then, when the gentlemen asking the questions points out the government control inside these programs, the students stop on a dime and try to make their statements sound more, may I say, socialistic?

The point that all of these individuals are trying to make, and it is one we have heard many times, is that the government should take a bigger role in our lives and help us when we are down and out. Also, they should help us when we feel like doing nothing, when we do not feel like paying out bills, and when we feel like wasting our lives protesting for an ideal that, realistically, will never make the country better. Those who do well for themselves do it because they have big ideas of their own. Did Bill Gates become rich because he went around to poor people and stole out of their Christmas fund? No, he did not! He got rich because he an idea and he put that idea to work for him. Others in this world wanted the product that he offered, so he raised the price on the products and the people still bought them. If you told these kids that they were supporting these individuals with a lot of money when they bough their smart phones and their computers, they would find a way to beat around the bush, but the fact of the matter is a protest is no good unless you understand the idea you are fighting for. These kids (and I use the terms “kids” for a reason, mind you) want things a certain way, and unless they get it they believe sitting in the rain will help them get it. Unfortunately for them, the majority of people in this country do not agree with their insane view of the world.  read more »

Researches Hack Voting Machine for $26 in Parts

This is something I have written about a lot in the past five years, yet I rarely get anyone’s attention when I talk about the ability for people to take control of these machines that many of us use to vote with. These machines in question, used in 22 states, are very vulnerable to attack and those who run them and made them systems know of this vulnerability.  read more »

New E-Mails Released By White House on “Fast and Furious”

According to CBS News, new e-mails released by the White House on Friday (and very quietly done, I should add) beg more questions from this White House and other departments that new about this operation. What did the White House REALLY know about this operation, and who in the White House did anything to try to stop in from happening? In a case like this, you would have a hard time trying to convince me that no high level Administration officials knew anything about this, and that it never came up in conversation with the President of the United States.   read more »

Fight Heats Up For Primary Positioning Between The States

The fight has begun between the states as it deals with when each state will hold their primaries next year. Florida is expected to announce they will hold their primary at the end of January, going against the rules of the RNC and possibly losing half of its delegates in the process. What does this mean in a race that could be much closer than in other years? This could mean a candidate losing out because a state wants to run all over the rules set out for the states. The question remains, however, why does the RNC put itself through this when there is an easy answer to all of this.   read more »
