“The evidence available thus far from the Valentine’s day massacre has been mounting against the Hogg family as undercover accomplices and beneficiaries in the clandestine operation that killed 17 students and teachers. David Hogg has zero right to talk about “gun control” when his father works for the most murderous part of the assault-rifle industry, the killer-training program known as Cubic Simulation Systems, a nice name for Murder Inc. Version 2.”
Hogg works for a company that simulates terror attacks among other kinds of firefights. Continue reading “Kevin Hogg is Prime Suspect in Parkland Shooting”
HORN LAKE, Miss. – – A device used to fire a semi-automatic rifle faster is flying off store shelves. It’s called a bump stock, and it’s something President Trump is trying to ban.
We went to check on sales in our area, and found that there seems to be another item that’s selling even faster.
At Bullfrog Corner Pawn and Gun, AR-15’s are selling like hot cakes. The shop is averaging ten sales a day, and sold more than $30,000 worth this past Saturday alone. Continue reading “Bump stock, AR-15 sales up”

I have received a number of tips from my readers revealing additional so-called “Mass Casualty Events” are now also planned for the cities of Dallas, Houston and Anchorage, Louisville and elsewhere.

Presidential son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner has had his security clearance downgraded — a move that will prevent him from viewing many of the sensitive documents to which he once had unfettered access.
Kushner is not alone. All White House aides working on the highest-level interim clearances — at the Top Secret/SCI-level — were informed in a memo sent Friday that their clearances would be downgraded to the Secret level, according to three people with knowledge of the situation. Continue reading “Kushner loses access to top-secret intelligence”
Rhode Island established a new “red flag” policy on guns with an executive order that will help keep guns away from people who “could pose significant threats to public safety.”
“The executive order I signed today is an immediate step we can take to make residents safer. It sets the table for a complementary legislative effort,” Gov. Gina Raimondo, a Democrat, said in a statement Monday. “We cannot wait a minute longer for Washington to take action to prevent gun violence.” Continue reading “Rhode Island executive order encourages taking guns from ‘red flag’ individuals”

State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on February 20 that Washington supported united Syria with current borders. “We’re not changing it, we’re not supporting the changing or the addition of any kind of autonomous region”, she added.
The statement, however, runs counter to the DoD actions for its officials must have their own plans for Northern Syria. As early as late last year Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon confirmed the U.S. Air Force was going to stay in Syria as long as it would have to support the local Kurds and Syrian opposition partners as well as to prevent an ISIS recovery.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear the Trump administration’s challenge to a lower court ruling temporarily blocking it from winding down the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
The decision delivers a blow to the Trump administration, which argues that DACA is unconstitutional. It also could ease some pressure on Congress to quickly come up with a legislative solution, however, since it means the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will continue to review the case. Continue reading “Supreme Court refuses to hear Trump challenge on DACA”
Two weeks after President Donald Trump blocked its full release, the House Intelligence Committee published a blacked out version of a classified Democratic memo aiming to counter a GOP narrative that the FBI and Justice Department conspired against Trump as they investigated his ties to Russia.
The document’s release Saturday was the latest development in an extraordinary back and forth between Republicans and Democrats about the credibility of multiple inquiries into links between the Trump campaign and Russia, and the integrity of the top U.S. law enforcement agencies.

Under the doctrine of Parens Patriae, “Government As Parent”, as a result of the manipulated bankruptcy of the United States of America in 1930, ALL the assets of the American people, their person, and of our country itself are held by the Depository Trust Corporation at 55 Water Street, NY, NY, secured by UCC Commercial Liens, which are then monetized as “debt money” by the Federal Reserve. It may interest you to know that under the umbrella of the Depository Trust Corporation lies the CEDE Corporation, the Federal Reserve Corporation, the American Bar Association, the legal arm of the banking interests, and the Internal Revenue Service, the system’s collection agency.
