In Pre-Primary Pivot to Right, Walker Shifts Tone on Abortion
It is nice to hear the candidates speak their minds on real issues and know how they actually dealt with that issue. Today Mr. Walker tells us he is pro life and then we find out in Wisconsin he signed a law that stated that abortion is a decision between a woman and her Doctor. Mr. Walker I am a supporter but this looks rather political to me. Could you straddle the line of political correctness anymore here? If you are pro life than take that side if not take the other but stop this political double speak before it destroys your campaign.

Remarks by the President to the National Governors Association
The implication the President has made here is that the problems that Congress is debating like the NSA spying on Americans, The IRS attacking conservative groups, his Unilateral immigration reform and Net Neutrality are manufactured issues by Congress. The only problem with that is that they are all real events that have taken place at his order or bequest and Congress should have been involved in all of them or they should not have taken place at all. So if anyone is manufacturing self inflicted wounds sir it would be the executive branch and to put a finer oint on it you. So I would argue here stop acting unilaterally and start allowing Congress to do its job and eliminate the issues by rescinding your orders and then business will go on as per the constitution.

Convicted
Eddie Ray Routh was convicted of killing Chris Kyle and Kyle's friend, Chad Littlefield. The jury deliberated for three hours and came back with a solid guilty verdict. The judge then gave Mr. Routh a life sentence without parole. Interestingly enough Mark Luttrell has spoken about his friend’s death at this time by giving Mr. Routh a reminder that the Texas Prison system inmates may be less receptive to his incarceration as he killed a Texas hero. I will say this Mr. Routh you have committed an atrocious act that holds judgment in both this world and the next by killing a patriot for no good reason and then besmirching all those veterans that do have PTSD by trying to use their misery as your defense. Tell the Devil hello for me when you get there and enjoy your stay in Texas.

- Former Gov. Rick Perry: Obama has made the world less safe
Although I agree with this statement I wonder where the action is with Congress, that is to say yes the President is a dirt bag but why isn’t one of the other branches doing anything to stop him? Can you say impeachment, apparently not. My point is this America yes Obama has taken away our safety but what are we doing about it? What is Congress doing besides disagreeing with each other? What is the Supreme Court doing besides deciding not to hear cases they might actually have to rule on? We are a product of our own bad decisions and it is time for us as a people to stand up and say no more. Only then will Congress and the Supreme Court do their jobs but as long as we act as sheep they will behave as Sheppard’s. I for one say enough.
These are the headlines for this week and my commentary for them. To me it sounds bad when you think about the US Government debt and the world at war at the moment. Add ISIS and it seems like 1938 again and for the record our government made the same mistakes then, couldn’t we just once learn from our past and act like responsible adults and do what is right for a change. I realize we all want a world where we all get along and war does not exist but we do not have that yet and until we do someone needs to stand up to the bullies in this world to make us all safer. The real question today is who will that be, us or someone else. I will say this, it will never be President Obama so folks what can we do about that?
