If you are one of the many people who have a home with a lawn, but know something wicked this way comes, you may have said to yourself, “I have plenty of room in the yard, so I can grow my own food if I need to.” I have heard this from a number of people lately.

Should this be your ‘Plan B’ for extreme food inflation or shortages, you might want to get a jump start on the work involved because it is not easy and involves a number of factors you may not have considered. I know because we are currently undertaking just such a task.   Continue reading “Is Plan B to Turn Your Lawn into a Garden?”

We can add Captain America: The Winter Soldier to the list of recent blockbuster films containing themes that are critical of America’s growing police state and war on terror. Other major films like Oblivion, Ender’s Game, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek: Into Darkness have all recently taken shots at these important issues, but none have packed quite the patriotic punch that Marvel’s symbolic fascism fighter has delivered in this new sequel.   Continue reading “New Captain America Film Takes On Obama’s Kill List and the New World Order”

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.

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. Then, moments ago, a Russian Proton rocket, carrying Russia’s most advanced and powerful satellite on board, crashed on take off, during the activation of the third rocket stage some 9 minutes into the launch. 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”
