Citi Merchant services has frozen transactions of the popular accessories and firearms dealer CDNN due to their selling firearms in “non-face-to-face” transactions.

I know when I’ve had a hard day a bag of Doritos or a Klondike bar really makes things better. And now there is research as to why. I wonder how long before someone like Frito-Lay or Doritos adds “Relieves Stress” to their label….

The video speaks for itself. Reminiscent of a scene from the Exorcist….
The latest article from one of my all time favorite commentators, The Champs Elysees Republicans by Chris Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute and published on Human Events which is led by another of my all time favorites, Jeb Babbin. Now speaking of Jeb Babbin… if you’ve been watching the Republican primary season closely and [...]
