• UPDATE: Rutgers Fires Basketball Coach After Vid of Him Shoving, Hurling Gay Slurs at Players Emerges

  April 5, 2013 at 1:02am

  I recall plying organized sports with an angry head coach. That pushed and pulled on players, even used an electric cattle prod. But I also recall that playing was not mandatory. If you don’t Luke the way you get treated. Take a drama class. These guys are wanting to go pro and make the big bucks. It’s so competitive that if they have a losing season the coach is gone. He is just trying to motivate to win. Spewing a few words should not offend the entire U.S.Go to basic training for the military. Parents would try to pull the kids out for hurt feelings by the truck loads. Take a camera into every practice all over. There would be a lot of coaches without jobs then. What if a gay coach calls a player a heterosexual, should that be grounds for firing. By these standards it would appear so. Where does it end

• Sen. Feinstein Makes Wild Claim to Push Gun Control at Senate Committee Hearing

  And one add on, Feinstein should not be able to speak in public. Unless it is at NTC in Barstow, with no media or actually anyone. Just speak out close to the rail head. That’s all

• Bill O’Reilly Absolutely Explodes on Lib Radio Host in Epic Showdown Over Spending Cuts: ‘You’re Lying!’

  March 7, 2013 at 1:42am

  They do want to cut Medicare. I have spent 3&1/2 months trying to just talk to the only neurological surgery consultant at the VA hospital in Fayetteville, AR. After he sent me out for my 8th back surgery from an injury received in Iraq. And I am 80% worse than before. The consultant refused to see me or even answer any emails close to 4months. It took a call to Washington DC to get him to call me. And his notes were so poor that he wanted to send me back to the same surgeon that put me in a walker, got me where my leg and back just give out where I fall flat on my face daily from a standing position. I hit hard enough to fracture my shoulder and ribs. Bounce my head off the concrete, and I have seizures already from another injury in Iraq, so I am sure that is helping that minor problem. And all I am told is the wait will be at least a month and be sure I go with a positive attitude. Because physicians don’t like people with poor attitudes. But my Medicare is in the process of being cut by BO plan. So health care can improve. If it gets much better than this. Quality of life will be really something to look forward to by age 45. I might have gone from walking to actually a mechanical bed. What something to look forward to Thanks!

  Are you for real. I guess we get different stories dependent on our time zones.

  In reply to michaelmoron.

  I have to applaud you on your argument here. Not kissing your 4th point if contact. But refreshing to see educated thoughts with the witty responses to uneducated “cracks” at your comments. I couldn’t make a statement because you took them all. Not a complaint, just glad to see them said. Have a great American day!!!

  Back to the old saying, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. A laugh a minute when I try and watch the media circus. Or is it circus media, ahh what does it matter, Those of you that asked for it have until 2014, how’s it feeling?

• UPDATED: Handicapped Woman Refuses Smart Meter — Has Power Cut in the Dead of Winter

  February 10, 2013 at 9:07pm

  @Sanspeur- The woman lost a battle of having trees trimmed several years ago. And she could have opted to use wind or solid power at her expense. So options are out there for people that want them. It’s apparent that in some states residents are just going to lose. I don’t agree with having to bow down to the power company. But footing the bill for the other options is a hard pill to swallow at this point as well.

• Horrific Reports of People Cooking & Eating Their Children — and Digging Up Corpses — Come Amid NKorean Famine

  They also were eating tree bark when I was stationed there in 97. Or going to be flooding in during monsoon season in the flooded rivers and creeks, didn’t see one by the way. I was 3 kilometers from the DMZ and we had fake fire fights throughout the year, I believe to solidify our existence there. Truth be told a lot of the small towns around the US bases wouldn’t exist if the bases vanished. If the North have what they are suspected to have, then those bases are just speed bumps to Pusan at the tip of South Korea anyway.It’s disheartening to put in the effort and spend the year long tour at a minimum away from family. To have them openly make it known that they don’t want US troops there. So in my opinion, pack up and let the complainers join the ROK army. Which will treat them like forth class citizens, haze them, beat them into conforming into that army way of life. And put blinders on when they come asking for the same help they are trying to run out now. I hate that the few are speaking for the majority over there. I met and worked with some really outstanding S. Korean citizens, that had great families. But the protesting groups and few that cause Americans problems out in the communities make it difficult to reason our mission there anymore.

• Woman Arrested While Refusing Smart Meter Installation on Her Property Tells Us Her Story

  January 26, 2013 at 10:27am

  I haven’t read all the comments so this may be a repeat. But a friend of mine. Who has wireless camera’s around his property. ( Maybe a bit over the top ), But the new meter interrupted the signal of his camera’s. So his fix was non destructive and simple, he just place aluminium foil over the meter. Which blocked the signal of the meter and his cameras worked fine. But this is just something I have heard, you know how rumors are.

• U.S. Marine’s Scathing Response to Sen. Feinstein’s Gun Control Proposal: ‘I Am Not Your Subject. I Am the Man Who Keeps You Free’

  They want to take away the things we acquired under the constitution. But they have no issue sending 18 y/o with fully automatic, heavy artillery, and so on to other countries. After only having a few hours of training with it. Two thumbs up CPL,
