TWW does not own an AR

Believe it or not time?

"Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies in 2014 than during the same period last year, 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes, and 30 percent fewer carjackings. Craig attributed the drop to better police work and criminals being reluctant to prey on citizens who may be carrying guns.

“Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon,” said Craig, who has repeatedly said he believes armed citizens deter crime. “I don’t want to take away from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular, is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed."

This is a bit old but interesting

People wonder why TWW has a sign in his bathroom declaring it to be a gun free zone. Here is why:

Biggest loser of the day award goes to ...

TWW will never shop at Hobby Lobby again

That is because he does not know where one is.


According to USA Today this is what the company wants to do and now the courts say they can: 

              "It (the ruling - editor) doesn't affect:

• Most birth control pills

• Condoms

• Sponges

• Sterilization

It does affect:

• Plan B "morning-after pill"

• Ella "morning-after pill"

• Hormonal and copper intrauterine devices (IUDs)

The companies in the case and their supporters object to IUDs and morning-after pills, saying they cause abortions by blocking a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus."

source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/30/morning-after-iuds/11768653/

To a simple country bumpkin like TWW it appears Hobby Lobby is against paying for something they equate with abortion but not many common methods of birth control.     

Best PSA of the year so far but...

will the people who made this PSA be charged with sexual exploitation of minors??

The key to preventing the next terrorist attack?

Finally a fresh idea on the subject:

"Here’s what doesn’t get the headlines: Empathy. Listening to those around you. Even if you don’t like them very much.

Despite being relevant and important discussions, the glamorous headlines are ultimately distractions — they just feed into the carnage and the attention and the fame the killer desired. They are distractions from what is right in front of you and me and the victims of tomorrow’s shooting: people who need help. And while we’re all fighting over whose pet cause is more right and more true and more noble, there’s likely another young man out there, maybe suicidally depressed, maybe paranoid and delusional, maybe a psychopath, and he’s researching guns and bombs and mapping out schools and recording videos and thinking every day about the anger and hate he feels for this world.

And no one is paying attention to him."

This sign is sure to prevent more tragedies

At least the scenery is nice

More how gullible are you (or how have you been hoodwinked?)

"You hear it all the time. Why, 97 percent of all climate scientists agree that global warming is dangerous and man is causing it.The debate is over and it's time to act! (With the very kinds of tax and regulatory policies liberals would advocate anyway.)

Did you ever think to question, though, what the basis of this 97 percent figure might be? "

The first senile women president?

Ronald Reagan was born in 1911 and sworn in in 1977 at 66 year of age. Hillary Clinton was born in 1947 and will be sworn in in 2017 at 70 years of age -- 4 years older than Reagan was.

How can the Democrats link the Republicans to this??

"On April 14, the terrorist group Boko Haram abducted more than 230 Nigerian girls at gunpoint from their Chibok boarding school.  Their heavily-armed kidnappers shot two armed guards, herded the terrified girls into buses, vans and trucks and drove them off into the night. Only a few escaped."

TWW wants to know how the Democrats plan on using the fundamentalist Moslem war on women becoming educated as part of the Dem's war on women claims against the Republicans. 

Another success story for the signs saying "no guns"

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?

"LITTLE FALLS, Minn. –  A Minnesota homeowner who shot and killed two teenagers during a break-in was convicted Tuesday of premeditated murder....

Before retiring from the U.S. State Department, Smith worked on technical security issues for American embassies, such as building layout and alarms."

You would think it would be hard to break into a house owned by someone who worked on preventing break-ins for a living.

The screen around the base of the trees made a living area where the critters could live and eat instead of keeping them out

They ate the white paint and all

quote of the day

And to top that from a 'leftist':

"MAHER: What do you think about the Mozilla CEO having to step down over his donation to a pro-Proposition 8 group. 

The Mozilla -- which I'm wearing right now, by the way. I didn't know what Mozilla was. I saw it on my computer, but -- it's Firefix, right? It's the browser. 

So this guy apparently does not want gay people to get married and he had to step down. What do you think of that, the question asks.

FMR. REP. TOM DAVIS (R-VA): Because he gave $1,000 eight years ago and it's come back to haunt him.

CARRIE SHEFFIELD, FORBES: Well, and he gave it when President Obama was still against gay marriage. So, I don't think it's very fair.

MAHER: Good point. Also, I think there is a gay mafia. I think if you cross them, you do get whacked."
