It seems the NAACP is up to its old tricks again making victims of blacks in the United States again. Now they want the government to spend taxpayer money to research what companies still exist that held slaves 150 years ago.

Little did he know that one day his invention would evolve into cell pho...

Today is Veterans day, today is but one day when we pay homage to our veterans, I pay homage to those that came before me and those that came after me. I pay respect to those that did not come home, those that came home part way, those that came home with pieces of them not there anymore.

America should be ashamed of herself for su...
