Several Armed Robberies After Restaurant Says NO Guns Allowed

Issues: 

When Jack in the Box decided to ban guns on their property, law abiding citizens with permits to carry guns, STOPPED eating there and criminals with guns discover it is property filled with defenseless people waiting to be victims of crime.

There has now been another armed robbery at a Jack in the Box restaurant in Texas just weeks after the chain asked legal gun owners to leave their firearms at home. Read more about Several Armed Robberies After Restaurant Says NO Guns Allowed

Guess What? Women Are Safer Being Married!

Does family structure matter? I have answered this question before, and certainly from an economic point there is no doubt that two parent households produce better economic security for the children and even the women involved in the marriage. In the Washington Post, a piece showed yet another reason for encouraging two parent households; women are safer in marriage from

How I Spent My Summer Vacation! Floor Fight at the Convention in Ft. Worth over Immigration Policy--What Just Happened?

[Editor’s Note: Mark Ramsey is a member of the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC), was a member of the 2014 State Platform and Resolutions Committee in Ft. Worth, and wrote the amendment that passed overwhelmingly, but was ultimately replaced by an amendment by substitution plank similar to the Minority Report.]

What a wild week at the largest GOP gathering on our planet! When I arrived Monday the Temporary Platform and Resolutions Committee – (TPARC) of the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) had about 3000 platform planks that

Braveheart And The Republican Party

Issues: 

At or near the top of my favorite movies is “Braveheart.” Never mind Mel Gibson’s subsequent occasional rants in his private life, including some drunken anti-Semitic remarks to a police officer, the genesis of which I don’t understand. So he’s human. That’s not exactly shocking. But the movie dramatizes the Scottish Wars Of Independence, almost 700 years prior to the film’s production in 1995. The actual history of William Wallace’s life is obviously sketchy, with only a few battles,

Issues:

My colleagues and I covered a host of issues, but focused upon the DHS’s responsibilities at the border, and the Obama Administration’s failure to enforce the law.

TEXAS SOLUTION knocked down by TEA PARTY RADICALS

Tags: 

Truthfully this was the most chaotic and contumacious convention in respect to the platform I can remember. A ‘mob’ mentality rushed through the audience as we were voting on the Amendment to replace the Immigration Plank. Hysteria and confusion do not partner well when making a sound decision.

Bowe Bergdahl and Military Prisoner Exchange

Like most Americans, I’m proud of our commitment to return every American service member home from wars overseas. However, I do have serious concerns about how we negotiated the release of Sgt Bowe Bergdahl. The Obama Administration struck a deal with the Taliban – we freed five high-level Taliban leaders from Guantanamo in exchange for his release.

America has not negotiated with terrorists in the past, and we should not start now. Making these kinds of deals on terrorists’ terms empowers extremist groups,

According to the report, schedulers at 76% of VA facilities had engaged in the practice of misreporting appointment requests to hide long waitlists for veterans seeking care.
