Conservative imposters like Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, Mike Simpson in Idaho, and Thom Tillis in North Carolina are all pulling away from (or have already defeated) their Tea Party challengers.

Congressman Joe Garcia may have a tough go convincing voters he’s the man for the job during this year’s re-election campaign.
A live video of the Democratic Party’s distinguished gentleman from Florida’s 26th Congressional District happened to catch the freshman Representative picking the wax out of his ear.

Two days ago Russia retaliated against US sanctions by banning the US from using the International Space Station after 2020, and by barring the use of Russian rockets as launch vehicles for US military satellites.

Coincidence? Surely. Continue reading “Rocket Carrying Russia’s Most Advanced Communications Satellite Crashes During Take Off”
A federal judge Thursday upheld registration requirements that are part of the gun laws in the nation’s capital, approving of measures that make owners take a gun safety class, be photographed and fingerprinted and re-register their weapons every three years.
The city put the requirements in place after a landmark 2008 Supreme Court decision that ended a 32-year-old handgun ban in the District of Columbia. U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled that requirements the city put in place are constitutional. Continue reading “Judge upholds DC gun control law”

The Burger King national headquarters announced this month that they will be pulling their franchises from our military bases. Soon to follow will be Popeye’s Chicken, Pizza franchises and the chain of barber and beauty shops which operates inside the gates of our military facilities. Reason?

It has been several weeks since the BLM’s special forces came into the valley with guns raised, barricading our lands, stealing and destroying our property, and terrorizing the community. Their original plan was to occupy the land for seven weeks.
They would still be in the valley today if the people did not stand and demand departure. We can only imagine what would have happen if they were allowed to remain. Continue reading “Bundy Family: How we will proceed with Legal Action”
