Senator Ron Johnson, of our state of Wisconsin, has blood on his hands, along with other Republican Senators. He seemed that doing the bidding of the gun makers (the major benefactors of the NRA) by voting against universal background checks on all gun sales in America, was...
Issues in the NewsI. To those who state that we shouldn't have registration of guns or even background checks because Hitler took away all the guns of Germans, that is a myth. The average German continued to enjoy gun ownership throughout the world. Indeed, it was...
Issues in the News: I. Global warming is the worst that has been seen since 11,000 years ago. That's a darn long time. It took 4000 years for the earth to warm 1.25 degrees C (which is over 2 degrees F) from 11,000 years ago to 7000 years ago. Tiny marine organisms were used...
There was a talk show host six years ago who was upset that Keith Ellison, a Congressman from Minnesota, was going to put his hand on the Quran when taking the oath of office. Obviously Ellison is a Muslim. It, like all religions, are mythologies, but Ellison has a right to...

Republican Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler believes that same sex marriage is like an uncle marrying his niece and a 50 year old marrying a 12 year old girl. Yes, she said that. She also believes that it is comparable to a 3 year old driving a car. At least, she didn't compare...
