my 14-year old CHILD was on that river yesterday. with the levels being TWICE what it usually is, TVA or State Park folks should have shut it down or changed the levels for the day. Her boat was overturned as well and she and 3 friends washed downstream for 1/2 mile. Almost became 4 dead yesterday.

You can't be serious

Actually, terrifying...that there are people this ignorant out there.



If you want to see the illegal immigrant pipeline in action, check out the red-white-and-green older model Prevost coaches from Groupo Senda bus lines. It stops next to Shoney's, Kingston Pike & Walker Springs Road, T-R-Sa mornings between 0330 and 0500. Bus runs from Houston to Newark.

For a few minutes, the parking lot looks like a beehive, like the old Trailways terminal years ago. You could fill the jail with all of the ILLEGAL ALIENS who mill around during the "rest stop." They also wander over to the shopping center's stores to relieve themselves, smoke a little dope.

I have photos. Wondering why local media has ignored my news "tips?"

Because pictures of people of Latin descent, of whose citizenship you have no idea, taking a leak in the alley and smoking a joint isn't really news?

Just spitballing here

Written on Knoxville Police Department recovers evidence from Ijams park in sexual assault case:

in response to lennisw#557174:

According to crime tracker, this is the 7th rape in the park system in two weeks. Not hearing about that one, are you? This is because there is a conspiracy of silence in the media to not cover crimes in parks and on greenways. When the man was killed carrying a bag of groceries on the Malcolm/martin greenway, the media stood on their heads to keep from saying murder/shooting and greenway in the same sentence. This town is a scary place and not just when it comes to parks.

I'd like to hear more about this vast conspiracy to cover up greenway crime that you've uncovered.

It sounds fascinating, and not crazy at all.

in response to letsdebate:

It is an absolute shame that nice trails and walking paths are a very risky area. While beautiful and scenic,they are a predators'dream location. There are large gaps between users and many spots are very isolated. No woman or child should be using these. Broad daylight is no deterrant to these predators. As a grown man,I would be caught on them unless I'm carrying a gun. If I have to carry a gun,Im not being smart about where I am. Use the local school track or a wide open safe area. The fad of running on these paths is not worth the risk.This unfortunate woman is lucky her and her little girl weren't murdered. The paths are beautiful but monsters lurk because they are so isolated.

You require a gun to walk on public trail systems?


Written on Swiss apologize for encounter Oprah calls racist:

in response to rayt435:

"she was turned away from a Hermes boutique 15 minutes after closing time"

Sounds like sour grapes. The store was closed. Other than the owner wanting to make a little extra money Oprah is not entitled to special consideration.

If I had a store, Oprah is welcome to all the special treatment she desires, 24-7. That billionaire money spends easy.

Sour grapes indeed

Written on Citizens Voice: Mary L. Wilson: Specific steps must be taken to stop gun violence:

in response to thedrpete:

Progressives/liberals have a concept of the world which has never and never will square with reality, but which they doggedly deem correct. They are undissuadable no matter the overwhelming evidence contradicting their preconceptions, no matter the dearth of history supporting.

When people in small cars get more-seriously injured in collisions with people in large SUVs, these progressives/liberals feel that unfair, so blame the laws of physics. When high-skill-industrious people are paid more than low-skill-unmotivated people, these progressives/liberals feel that unfair, so blame the laws of economics. When black school students – who in the aggregate study half as much as whites and watch five times the tv as whites – get lower grades and have higher drop-out rates, progressives/liberals see that as proof of racial discrimination rather than the price of choices made and behaviors. When, on the other hand, blacks who are ten percent of the college-student population account for eighty percent of basketball players, progressives/liberals don’t raise an eyebrow, engage a brain cell, or so much as twitch a muscle.

Progressives/liberals have their preconceived gospel, which squares with no-nil-nada-zero-zip-zilch observable evidence or rational analyses or logic, but which they know with certitude must be true. It hurts them because it is a near-always-incurable mental disorder. It hurts those they champion and seek to help even more, however, and that’s the crime and crying shame.

In the long run, progressive policies win every single time. I'm sorry you don't understand history

Written on UT Foundation exec fired after child porn arrest:

in response to AreaPerson:

Why was he getting paid in the first place? They don't tell you that a part of your donation helps pay their salary. That is BS! Sick of "not-for-profits" getting away with paying executives, etc exhorbitant salaries (I'm assuming this guy did, because this is UT and Knoxville we are talking about).

No, "they" don't tell you that. Any intelligent person knows that a portion of donations go to pay employees.

Written on Man hospitalized after he's rescued from Ga. cave:

in response to southernbelle79:

How much did this rescue cost taxpayers? If the rescuers were all volunteers and paid for their own supplies, then OK. Otherwise, why should taxpayers have to pay to rescue a thrill seeker doing something stupid and highly dangerous?

The government wants folks who smoke or are overweight to pay higher insurance premiums, shouldn't thrill seekers have to pay higher rates also?

Don't be an idiot

Post like your post are always good for laugh.Awful sensitive about entitlements,u a taker or turned down?

I'm a first responder. I volunteer hundreds of hours annually to rescue folks in the Colorado back country, often with the help of helicopters.


It's not the job of the responders to decide if the injured party "deserves" treatment, but to provide the treatment they deem necessary. In this case, they called for a helicopter.
The entitlement you mouth breathers seem to feel as (((taxpayers))) is always good for a laugh....

in response to factor:

Salon is a "Left Wing Rag" and for that matter, so is KNS. They all work for the Socialist Party now. Propaganda for the "Low Information Voters". I have always called these people "Useful Idiots". Obummer and the Dems,(including the liberal press of course) will not rest until they have transformed this country into something so grotesque our forefathers would not recognise. Our Conservative values are under attack and if our elected politicians do not respond with equal push-back we will sink to a communist type society where only the elitist Democrats who run the machine will have money and power. The "Useful Idiots", as in all Communist countries will become poorer and never have a chance to thrive. One thing is certain absolutely cannot give a Liberal an inch because they will take a mile.

You did an excellent job of defining the term "useful idiot", thanks

You might want to check that. Phone subsidies originated with Reagan, after the breakup of AT&T, refined in 96 and 08, and is funded by telecommunications companies, not the government.

I think you are right on the money. Romney was far, far better than I ever dreamed he could be, wielding his rapier like wit with all the precision of a surgeon using a scalpel. Obama on the other hand was OK, but sure didn't live up to his reputation as a great speaker. Actually, kind of mediocre, I thought.

Oh give it a rest. They were both hilarious, as this event always is.

in response to VolCntry73:

Can't wait until foreign policy comes up tonight. Funny how the mainstream media and KNS is ignoring one of the biggest news stories in history. A story that shows the incompetence of Obama and his administration and how he continued to lie and cover up an attack on our embassy and death of a US Ambassador for political purposes, even after his people knew it was a terrorist attack (even had advanced warning it was likely to happen). If this had occurred under a Republican president, it would be the lead story for weeks. Amazing just how little coverage it's getting.

It's the details in your post that make your incoherent rambling so convincing

Please...reveal this story - one of the biggest in history - that the mainstream media is ignoring. The floor is yours brother..spill it! The revolution starts here!

Written on Ex-judge Richard Baumgartner allegedly lied to child support referee to free his mistress :

in response to White_____GeNOcide:

Lol! Though I don't have any trouble with that image, since I'm older than him.

It must be tempting to replace bodily and maybe psychic pain with a nice high and an attractive young woman. But I'm assuming he's married?

The presumed infidelity is the part that bothers me, though I understand the other stuff is much more important.

The Chipman perps were apparently under the influence of the often violence-triggering drug called "embalming fluid" (which is apparently the drug we called "angel dust" in the sixties), and the judge trying the case was under the influence of drugs. Screwed up.

But I guess the good old days had plenty of alcoholic judges judging crimes committed under the influence of alcohol.

Another senseless gun death


in response to GoodGriefTN:

Actually it's a senseless law that ruins lives. Putting someone that smokes a joint in the same catagory as thieves, murderers, rapists is wrong. And it costs taxpayers millions to try and jail them. Thousands of people die every year because of gangs and cartels trying to evade the "war on drugs." Needless senseless deaths that could be avoided if we could grow pot legally.

Colorado wins again! Ahhhhhhh

Written on Jimmy Carter grandson arranged Mitt Romney video's release:

in response to Debt:

I'd like to know how many gop on here fall into that 47%.

Working people who make 40-50k fall into this category, which is higher than the median average salary in knoxville. So I'm guessing A LOT of people in k-town voting romney fall into that 47%.

40-50 is not bad wages living here, not bad at all.

pot, kettle. kettle, pot.

Yep. And let's not forget that red states overwhelmingly take more from gov't assistance programs than blue ones.
