Our sincere thanks to reader Jeanne of Ormond Beach, Florida for bringing the following news item  to our attention.

The bold progressives over at the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) are celebrating and promoting a boost/shoutout they recently received from teevee commentator Rachel Maddow.

Last night on her highly viewed and extremely popular cable teevee program Rachel Maddow mentioned a petition begun by and being circulated by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee demanding an “up or down vote” on the strongly debated healthcare legislation. (more…)

“Allah have mercy on this rich boy who has never done anything in his frickin’ life except drugs and bad deeds. May he spend a long time in jail and have 10 poor families of Holly Hill, Florida and Daytona Beach, Florida inherit his fortune. He does not deserve a penny!

Lesson to all rich parents: Don’t give your kids a penny. Give your fortunes to institutions and poor people and let your children make their own fortunes.”
~ Mahmoud – Ormond Beach, Fl, reader reaction to news of arrest of NASCAR heir.

In the early morning hours of Thursday, October 8, 2009, in Daytona Beach, Volusia County Florida,  reliable sources report the grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France, the son of Grand-Am founder Jim France; and cousin of Brian France chairman and CEO of NASCAR; 44 year-old Jamie C. (J.C.) France,  was arrested and charged with speeding, DUI and possession of illegal narcotics.

When the story appeared online at the web site of the local newspaper this is the advertisement that briefly accompanied the local news story: (more…)

We’ve heard all the talk about the decision by the International Olympic Commission (IOC) to choose Rio de Janiero, Brazil over Chicago, Illinois for the 2016 Olympic Games and Para-Olympic games. Here’s our take on the decision. It’s an easy call to make.

We are glad our new president had the boldness, the confidence, to go to Denmark to pitch his and the First Lady’s hometown to the IOC,  we were especially moved by Michelle Obama’s impassioned talk including her own personal family experience with sports. (more…)

The international controversy stirred up by the United States government’s sinister attack and subsequent kidnapping of film director Roman Polanski by the justice authorities of Switzerland, a formerly neutral nation, brings to mind all the myriad possible cases to be tried.

We’ve been told by American legal experts of a particular political bent, it is useless to go after, say, Dick Cheney, or former President George Bush for crimes committed against humanity in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. (more…)

Tiger Woods, by winning the $10 million bonus at last week’s PGA Tour Championship at Atlanta, is now the first BILLIONAIRE ATHLETE. Congratulations! (more…)

We’ve noticed how the optimistic promises made about a year ago by, then, candidate Barack Obama, during the contentious presidential campaign, have not been kept by, now, President Barack Obama.

The staff at YouThinkWhat has patiently waited to see if our guy in DeeCee would stop his foolish attempts to be loved by all, and simply show some backbone, aka strength of courage, to do what needs doing for the good of the nation. This has not yet happened. (more…)

You may not have heard but the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (FDIC) is facing financial ruin. This is the corporation that insures your money, up to $250,000 at whatever banking company you have an account with that much money.

We are delighted to hear the news  internationally renowned film director Roman Polanski is reportedly, “in a fighting mood”.

Some may wonder why we are so outraged by the actions of prosecutors in California, members of the federal justice department and the department of state. These authorities are upholding a thoroughly abhorrent American tradition in law enforcement. The long arm of the law has a very long memory. It was not so long ago in the United States where a slave was a slave forever. Operating under the rule, “Once a slave, always a slave”, despite emancipation by an owner in one state, one could always be arrested and enslaved again in another jurisdiction. America has a tradition of turning likely productive citizens into fugitives.

The timing of this arrest of Polanski and the ensuing attempts to have him returned to the U.S. could not have come at a worse time. President Obama is trotting all over the globe attempting to improve our image among the world community, when some bonehead judge, assisted by an equally incompetent prosecutor, in flaky California, (more…)

We are delighted to hear the news internationally renowned American film director Roman Polanski is reportedly, “in a fighting mood”. Reports from Zurich indicate Polanski will not surrender to U.S. authorities’ demands to have him extradited from Switzerland to face California to prosecutors on a matter involving sex with an under aged girl in 1977.

Recently we published an article about a Volusia County, Florida community service organization,  Family Renew , celebrating its 20th anniversary of providing help to homeless families with children.

We said the economic policy that has brought us to having a need, all around the nation, for  charitable agencies, like Family Renew of Volusia County, is the result of decisions made by the Republican Reagan administration. It was during the presidency of the 41st POTUS, Ronald Reagan, that policies based on supply-side economics were implemented thus laying the foundation for today’s economic debacle as predicted by economic experts more than twenty years ago.
