The Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Colorado (www.centenoschultz.com) has come up with a procedure wherein they treat patients’ severe joint pain with a non-surgical injection of the patients’ own stem cells into the affected area. The process, simply put, involves drawing the patient’s own blood, centrifuging it and extracting the stem cells that we all produce, and [...]

One of the news stories this week was President Obama’s decision on whether to have his administration grant a permit for a private company to proceed with building the Keystone XL pipeline, a pipe that would run from the Canadian border to US refineries on the Gulf Coast. Obama denied the permit. That’s a quick [...]

Back in the 2004 elections the Rathergate episode definitively demonstrated that the mainstream media, Fox News excluded, had turned into little more than the propaganda arm of the Democrats and the Left in general. In what remains quite clear to many Americans as a deliberate action, CBS News and specifically Dan Rather accepted at face [...]

I’ve been expecting this since the failure by the Huntsman campaign to even attempt to get on the ballot in Virginia: Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is expected to withdraw his bid for the Republican presidential nomination and throw his support to Mitt Romney, Fox News learned Sunday. Huntsman is set to announce his withdrawal [...]

I mentioned on Friday that the current Chairman of the GOP’s VA 10th District Committee, Howie Lind, would not seek re-election this year. In his announcement, he reported that he had asked John Whitbeck to run for the seat and that Whitbeck had agreed to do so. Today I got an e-mail from the Whitbeck [...]

That’s uanimous, folks: The Supreme Court has rejected the Obama administration’s argument that it can dictate who churches hire as ministers or clergy in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Obama administration unsuccessfully argued that the government can dictate who churches hire, as long as it also subjects secular [...]

The 9/11 attacks happened just over a decade ago. While no one was proposing building towers again before the dust settled, there was absolutely no argument that the building should be done. After making sure to recover the fallen and clearing the site to prepare it for building, the building should commence. Ten years later, [...]

Yes, I know, it’s become de rigueur since the 2000 elections to nearly immediately question the results of close elections, particularly when you don’t like who won. However, there might be something to the story, picking up steam, that Mitt Romney might not have taken Iowa like it 1st appeared. As Virginia Virtucon tells us, [...]

Yesterday, President Barak Obama undertook an action that several of his predecessors have taken: he appointed someone to public office – in this case a “czar” and 3 members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – using the “recess appointment” power explicitly granted him in the US Constitution which allows him to fill vacancies [...]
