News and Information


The Patriot Ball is one of several official balls to celebrate the inauguration of the President of the United States of America.

In 2005, the ball was held in Hall E of the Convention Center in Washington, DC, and was filled with lots of political folk from Ohio. While many people from outside of the state can be found at the ball, first dibs go to the residents of the state, as handed out by federal representatives.

The event included entertainment from the Dennis Samsa Orchestra and the Fabulous Fantoms. While the attendees were waiting to catch a glimpse of the new president and first lady, they dined on a variety of appetizers and had an opportunity to snap a picture in front of the presidential seal.

As soon as the cymbals clanged and Hail to the Chief is played, revelers from all over the country will rush to see the newly-sworn in leader, and you can be part of the fun!

The Obama transition team is sending a seven-page, 63-item questionnaire to every candidate for Cabinet and other high-ranking positions in the incoming administration.

“If you have ever sent an electronic communication, including but, not limited to an email, text message or instant message that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the president-elect if it were made public, please describe.”



The questions cover everything from information on family members, Facebook pages, blogs and hired help to links to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, American International Group and troubled banks as well as lawsuits, gifts, resumes, loans and more.The transition team has about 7,000 positions to fill, according to the U.S. Government Printing Office's Plum Book, the quadrennial list of positions subject to presidential appointment.

Under the final, "Miscellaneous" category, the questionnaire asks for the names and phone numbers of past live-in lovers; whether anyone in the applicant's family owns a gun; the state of the applicant's health; and whether he or she has any enemies

White People Buying Guns At A Alarming Rates Since Last Week

White people, primarily in the south, are purchasing guns at an alarming rate. Some articles try to downplay the reality of racism as the reason for this arms buildup in the south by saying these people fear that Democrats will ban guns. Supposedly, this impending ban on guns is the reason they're going to buy them now, before Obama gets sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.
In One day a gun shop owner sold $100,000 in guns in the state of Texas.
