Facebook Inc. is testing technology that would greatly expand the scope of data that it collects about its users, the head of the company’s analytics group said Tuesday.

The social network may start collecting data on minute user interactions with its content, such as how long a user’s cursor hovers over a certain part of its website, or whether a user’s newsfeed is visible at…

Dear Friends,

After enjoying the world’s longest political honeymoon, President Barak Obama might finally be experiencing his first marital spat with what had been his love struck two-headed bride—the Washington Press corps and the late night comedians. What Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, snooping into reporters personal correspondence, the NSA disclosures, failed capital crony deals with Solyndra and Fisker Automotive couldn’t do, the laughingly bad roll-out of his only…

Hannity Dials Obamacare Call Center, Operator Says No One Likes It

At the top of his radio program today, Sean Hannity called in to an Obamacare call center. Hannity was able to get through to an operator after only several moments of waiting. He spoke to the operator for nearly 10 minutes about Obamacare, what her thoughts of it are and what kind of response she has received so far. The operator was very friendly and had no problem…

To keep everybody safe

After illustrating their enthusiasm for repealing the Bill of Rights, a video shows Americans happily signing a petition to support a “Nazi-style Orwellian police state,” in what easily represents the most shocking footage of its kind to date.…

For those that can enjoy a bit of military humor, here is my story.

There are there basic combat philosophies in the Military.

The Army and Marines share a combat philosophy.  That is where the Captain tells his men to go take that hill.

The Navy has it's own combat philosophy.  That is where the Captain of the ship gets on the 1MC (ship's intercom speaker system) and says, "Crew, we are going to fight that ship to Port."

The Air…

Consumer Reports, which publishes reviews of consumer products and services, advised its readers to avoid the federal healthcare exchange “for at least another month if you can.” “Hopefully that will be long enough for its software vendors to clean up the mess they’ve made,” the magazine said, having tested the site themselves over the course of the past three…

'We are coming whether they like it or not'

Bikers came to Washington, D.C., by the thousands only a few weeks ago to express their patriotism for their country and their frustration at those running it, and only days later truckers in a loosely defined group holding a conversation on Facebook said they would do something similar.

While our president still enjoys his essential employees and locations: the White House chefs, Camp David, and a military golf course, there doesn't seem to be any question that in mercenary pursuit of a political win, this White House is determined to unreasonably punish as many everyday people as possible. And this includes children sick with cancer. That might sound like hyperbole,…

(CNSNews.com) – Some Catholic priests under contract or GS (general  schedule) to the military are not allowed to offer Mass or perform  weddings, baptisms, and other religious functions on military property  during the government shutdown, and if they do, even on a volunteer  basis, they risk being arrested, according to the general counsel for the Archdiocese for the…
