Non Profit???

    Bunkered down here in my OP just outside the death tax ray of the Death Star called Manhattan… I read this morning in the NY Post that the head of a local Non Profit AIDS charity (Long Island Association for AIDS Care or LIAAC) was complaining about a loss of public funding when she rakes in over $360,000 a year. You probably think that she’s | Read More »

    DADT: a recruiter’s perspective

    I was a military recruiter for 5 years.  Repealing DADT is the beginning not the end of a misguided (my opinion) effort for equality. Each service is slightly different, but currently the system works something like this. Each area of the country has detailed demographics containing the eligible (age, education, etc) population group of recruits for that region.  Each service determines its market share.  The | Read More »

    The CIA is being set up like a bowling pin.

    It’s no secret that the democrats have never liked those “rough men who stand ready to do violence” on our behalf.  So it logically follows that the White House terrorism advisor, John Brennan’s old company (the analysis corp) gets the task of investigating the recent administration failure.  Of interest, his company also manages some of the NCTC data bases – so guess where the blame | Read More »

    Gay marriage voted down in NY

    The State Senate needed 32 votes for passage and only received 24 in a vote held about 15 min ago. The bill had previously been passed by the State Assembly and Gov.

    Chrysler warranties now backed by taxpayers…

    Somehow this doesn’t give me confidence run out and buy one of these UAW made machines. I mean, where will I take my Chrysler minivan when it when it breaks down again, some gov’ment garage.. Perhaps where they repair Amtrack trains or Post Office jeeps… Next thing I know, someone else with a broken down Chrysler will drive their car into my driveway and demand | Read More »

    A Water dog from Ted…

    So Ted Kennedy presents the Obama family with a Portuguese WATER dog.. Is this a headline in the Onion? or perhaps the Weekly World News? Nope, its the truth. Now, I wouldn’t be accepting anything that was remotely connected to bridges, water, automobiles or drunk driving from Ted, but that’s just me. Barak, not that I’m on your side, but here’s some honest and free | Read More »

    Obama stiffs military credit unions

    Military credit unions are being forced to cough up nearly $5 billion to bail out a small group of corporate credit unions that lost their shirts chasing risky loans. This would put almost half of military credit unions into the red and cause reduced loan opportunities, reduced savings returns, and higher loan rates for millions of military families. I’ve been a member of Navy Federal | Read More »
