Some Fun Facts
Flamingoes aren’t born pink. They actually come into the world with grey/white feathers and only develop a pinkish hue after starting a diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae.
Using radiometric dating, scientists have discovered that the Earth is 4.54 billion years old (give or take 50 million years). This makes our planet half the age of the Milky Way Galaxy (11-13 billion years old) and around a third of the age of the Universe (10-15 billion years old).
Your brain burns 400-500 calories a day. That’s about a fifth of your total energy requirements. Most of this is concerned with the largely automatic process of controlling your muscles and processing sensory input, although some studies show solving tricky problems increases your brain’s metabolic requirements too.


GOD BLESS CHARLES KIRK, GOD BLESS THE FAMILY HE LEFT BEHIND AND GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF GODS CHILDREN IN THIS WORLD
I PRAY WE ALL CONTINUE THAT FAITH THAT CHARLES KIRK BELIEVED IN EVERY SINGLE DAY OF HIS BEUTIFUL LIFE.

Elections 101: What to know about poll watchers, and what they can and can’t do in Pennsylvania

HB 837
HB 837 will limit law-abiding citizens to purchase only one handgun every 30 days. They say PA supplies 13% of the trafficked guns found in NEW York. They list no percentage for Delaware and New Jersey, yet they say we are the top suppliers.
Rep Melissa Shusterman, what does NY, DE and NJ all have in common? Let me tell you, they have very strict handgun laws, still have higher crime rates and violate the 2nd amendment of our U.S. Constitution.
Rep Melissa Shusterman, why then is PA responsible for their restricted firearm laws that results in their criminals buying handguns against their laws? Don’t they know that New York and other states can purchase handguns and that their law is like to the one you are proposing? Did it help them? NO!
Maybe New York and those other states should emulate what we do here in Pennsylvania instead of RESTRICTING law-abiding citizens here in Pennsylvania we abide by the U.S. Constitution.
REMEBER FOLKS, are only saving grace in this matter is our 2-seat lead in the senate!
PRIME SPONSOR OF THIS BILL HB837 VOTE NO

HB 1593
OUR DEMOCRAT REPRESENATIVES DO NOT DO THEIR HOMWORK
Each year, approximately 1,600 Pennsylvanians die from gun violence and approximately 3,000 Pennsylvanians Yet Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency reports are showing drops in both gun violence and deaths by firearms, did you know that Mr. Rep Perry Warren?
If Long guns account for 4% of gun violence, such as the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, what about Pennsylvania? Pennsylvania statistics are by far lower.
While Pennsylvania State Police processed more than 1.2 million background checks, the law does not require background checks for long guns. This is a fact. And this shows that the law is working.
Very few are murdered with a long gun.
“FBI data shows more people die from hands, fists, feet, than rifles.” Rifles are nothing compared with human brawn.
Facebook flagged this information as false information from our government. Rep Warren says we must take action to remove these loopholes.
Mr. Rep Perry Warren this is NOT a loophole; it is a law written many years ago.
Do your homework sir.
Warren’s legislation would require background checks for all guns, regardless of the length of the barrel.
This will cost taxpayers more and will take police officers away from fighting crime. Thus, causing more crime. Do your homework, please Rep Warren,
Another Democrat that refuses to do their homework.

The right to bear arms?
Does the 2nd Amendment actually say,…”shall not be infringed,” or does that word “INFRINGED” mean something else?

Freedom of Religion
Is it really a Right?
Why does the U.S. government put so many restrictions on what a Pastor, Preacher, Minister or Rabbi can or cannot say about politics during a Sunday or Saturday service? Does the 1st Amendment say ” MAY NOT impose nor place undue restrictions on religious practices,”
I think the government does not know the meaning of undue restrictions. What do you think?
