Glenn Beck

I think it can safely be said, the event that has now concluded at the National Mall, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial is a significant event. It was called the 8/28 or Restoring Honor rally and it aimed to do just that. I was able to catch about an hour or so...

By LD Jackson
Money is tight

I want to make a prediction about what Wall Street is going to do today. Watch closely and I bet you will see it decline at least a little, if not rather sharply. On what do I base this prediction? It is the economic news the government will be releasing today. From all indications,...

Republican Party

As I was browsing through some of my normal morning reading, I came across two articles that piqued my interest.
