A Christmas Remembered

By Rick Jones As we celebrate the Christmas season, I remember the days of my youth. Reminiscing about the good times and bad, the gift I always wanted and got, and those that I did receive and didn't like. Most everyone has those memories of Christmases gone by.

Divert tax money to pro-gun candidates for FREE!

By Jim Irvine This is the time of year when many make charitable contributions. Tax deductible is good, but I've got a much better deal for you. If you pay Ohio income tax this year, you are entitled to a $100 per couple ($50 per person) tax credit for donations to certain politicians. A credit is much different than a deduction.

For 10 minutes and 20 seconds, Oklahoma resident Donna Jackson remained calm as she stood in the dark pleading for help and repeatedly telling emergency dispatchers that she did not want to shoot the "crazy," "drunk sounding" man who was yelling and determined to get inside her house on a Friday morning earlier this month.

Gun control advocates seek to "tighten" gun laws

By Gerard Valentino Over the last few months, the anti-gun movement, with help from the establishment media, has started a new attack campaign with their usual flair for the dramatic and lack of concern for the facts.
