I smell another ‘ Ahmed the Clock Kid’ in the making. You know the teen that ‘built’ a clock n a brief case purposefully to look like a ‘bomb,’ and the media and President Obama loved him up and turned him into a ‘misunderstood’ sensation? Same things happening as the web history of the Umpqua…

I never thought I’d be writing about a certain hairstyle, but then again I never thought I’d live to be as old as I am today. For the past several years I HAD to shave my head because I eventually developed a rash that wouldn’t go away. However for the last few months I’ve been…

The first time I heard myself in headphones I froze. It didn’t sound like me, though I knew it was me who was talking. Fortunately, I progressed from that to eventually being called upon to train a few disc jockeys over the years. I say training – but that is to include those who already…

Three Questions that have yet to be answered to my satisfaction: If gun control works so well and Chicago is the most heavily firearms regulated city in the U.S., why did they have 250 shootings resulted in 55 people getting killed and another 288 being wounded in September 2015? And why, if regulating ownership of…

Here’s a school-shooting story you may not have heard about from our national media: A school shooting in South Dakota was stopped after a 16-year-old student opened fire with a handgun, wounding Principal Kevin Lein in the arm following an argument.

As far as I’m concerned, mass shootings anywhere ain’t got nothing to do with the shooter, the law’s response time, politicians, schools or other public places — it instead has to do with an armed citizenry and the fact that we are not allowed to carry weapons, either concealed or openly in public areas. I…

Forget the nameless ass-wipe who murdered several innocent people at Umpqua Community College and instead, remember the military veteran hero who helped save countless lives. Chris Mintz was shot seven times while charging the gunman and saving others. Originally from Randleman, North Carolina, Mintz served 10 years in the U.S. Army. After leaving the service,…

The details concerning the mass shooting in which a lone gunman opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon are still being pieced together. The latest count puts the number of casualties at 10, a tally that includes the shooter. Officials have not yet disclosed the names of his victims, but numerous Facebook posts…

My next door neighbor, like me enjoys collecting different looking knives. The other day he came over and gave me one of the more unusual knives I’d ever seen. It’s called the “Iain Sinclair CardSharp,” and was originally designed as a lightweight surgical blade that could be used and disposed of by paramedics and aid…

Here’s what I’ve learned so far: On his Myspace page, the Umpqua Community College murderer posted a photograph of himself holding a rifle, alongside images of masked IRA gunmen and an IRA terrorist video. The IRA and Palestinian terrorism have a long history. He had jus’ two friends — one a man by the name…
