  • South Bend Firearms Restrictions

    It seems Berkeley of the North is trying to pass an ordinance banning firearms from all city owned property within the city.

  • Perry Constable and Deputy Constable Charged.

    It's in the MSM - you can read about it there. Voters shouldn't associate ALL Republicans with the alleged* indiscretions of a few. Perry Township is one of the strong areas of support for the GOP in Marion County and this doesn't help. Whether they will or not remains to [...]

  • The Mayor and Indy Pride

  • Of "Brown Noise" and just plain screeching

    Fox News is describing plans to counter any potential protesters outside their convention in Denver with something described as "Brown Noise" - a noise of a certain pitch and amplitude that would make people defecate.

    This is the headline for the article announcing the schedule for the Indianapolis Colts pre-season training camp:

  • Once Again, No Good Thing Goes Unpunished....

    The Alliance of Communists and Liberals United [aka the "Anti-Christian Litigation Unit"] has once again stood up in support of things that are wrong with the urban setting.
