We received the following from Misty’s husband:

Dear friends and acquaintances,

I am reaching out to you all for prayers and thoughts for my wife, Misty. She is a warrior for life, love and our family. We just found out she has to have her left kidney removed due to a genetic defect that has caused massive swelling. The Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) blockage is caused by a genetic defect that makes the muscle at the junction of the ureter and kidney to contract and not let go. This has destroyed the kidney and the swelling started to effect her health otherwise. Her right kidney has a genetic defect known as “sponge kidney” but it can be lived with okay as long as we take simple measures for it’s health.   Continue reading “Prayers for Misty”

Job creation boomed in February by 295,000 despite the brutal winter conditions, and the unemployment rate dropped to 5.5 percent, the Labor Department said Friday.

Despite the strong month, the picture was essentially the same for the American worker: Pay rose just 3 cents an hour, representing a 2.0 percent annualized gain as wage inflation remained elusive after a big jump in January. The average work week was unchanged at 34.6 hours.   Continue reading “Surge! Job creation jumps despite tough winter”

ONWARD! The  incremental march to expand the Peoples’ freedoms by taking the rights away from the people continues everyday!  Rejoice Komrad and thank the Peoples’ great leaders!  Lol  

They have taken your “automatic” weapons. They have taken your right to own “military equipment”. They license and control virtually every type of weapon. Now they are going after the ammo. Obviously without ammo, a gun doesn’t do much good. Specifically they are thinking about banning the public from purchasing what are supposedly “dangerous” military “armor piercing” rounds of 223. Of course the government itself will still be able to buy it to use AGAINST the people if it “needs to”.   Continue reading “The Second Amendment has nothing to do with why the ATF cannot ban armor piercing 223 ammo. Nothing.”

After about 25 Patriots engaged the Curry County Board of Commissioners, in a sometimes contentious discussion, the 2nd Amendment Preservation Resolution was passed 3-0 making Curry County the 19th of 36 counties to have passed similar motions.

Chair Susan Brown was obviously not in favor of the Resolution and irrationally argued that because she had sworn an oath to the WHOLE Constitution, she didn’t need to support any single Amendment.  Huh ????  (Must be some kind of Naturalized Canadian/American Logic.)  She had from the beginning of this effort kept insisting on knowing what legislation this was aimed at and would not accept that it was a preemptive Resolution intended to put the State Legislature on notice that the County would not support ANY current or future State efforts, restricting our rights, especially the 2nd Amendment via anti-firearms legislation.   Continue reading “Big Win for 2nd Amendment Patriots in Curry County”
