Sent to us by a reader who said, “Will the 21st century echo the 19th?”
If we think of them at all, we tend to think fondly of our Arizona Territory pioneers. In the shallow backwaters of our imagination, we apply common descriptive terms to their exploits as they settled the West. They were rugged, determined, courageous. But what does that mean in reality?
Most of what we know about their ruggedness, determination, and courage comes from Hollywood movies. We are so often exposed only to general, sanitized, sensationalized, or romanticized versions of pioneering. Think of the 1940 Western, Arizona, starring Jean Arthur and William Holden. Old Tucson was created to make this popular movie and the set played the part of the real Tucson ca. 1860. Continue reading “A Fate Worse Than Death: How Pennington Street Got Its Name”

Some people have all the luck. People in Connecticut, for example. The state cops say they’re coming for the guns. The matronly new chief says no, but the odious Lt. Paul Vance, the front man for the Sandy Hook lie factory, says it’s true and moreover, it’s un-American to oppose them in any way. Not only that: he said that he’s the master. What the hell did that mean?
Let’s say Chief Grandma thinks she’s not lying. If eighty percent of the people refuse to obey “the law,” what’s a gun cop to do? They know you’ve got an “illegal” rifle or magazine, they know where you live. Are they going to let it slide? Continue reading “What is their plan for us?”
MICHIGAN — Hundreds of thousands of parents have been flagged as “child abusers” in a huge database maintained in secret by Michigan’s Child Protective Services (CPS) agency. The names are entered into the database without due process, without a judicial hearing, without an opportunity for defense, without a conviction, and without even letting the individuals know they have been targeted.
The list is called the Michigan Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry. It reportedly contains the names of 275,000 “abusive” parents currently in that state alone, as WXYZ reported. Continue reading “Michigan CPS has gigantic secret list of parents labeled “child abusers” without due process”

To the legislators of the states of New Jersey and Rhode Island, upon the approach of your votes for firearm confiscation:
The firearm owners of your respective states tell me that you are busy men and women with short attention spans so I will try to make this brief, beginning with an instructive story from the history of my adopted state, Alabama. Some still tell it with pride in the hills of north Alabama. Like all the best stories, it has the advantage of being true.

In typical jackboot fashion, this “public servant” oozes tyrannical saliva as he flexes his mythical authority over an unsuspecting German tourist. This must have been an informed driver as he knew to pull out his camera and film this tyrant.

The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) and National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) both wrote to the Interior Department requesting an extension of the comment period, which the agency granted Tuesday, so these groups will have more time to review and respond to the rule.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – About half of American adults believe in at least one medical conspiracy theory, according to new survey results.
Some conspiracy theories have much more traction than others, however.
For example, three times as many people believe U.S. regulators prevent people from getting natural cures as believe that a U.S. spy agency infected a large number of African Americans with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
