“Scientists reported Wednesday that 2015 was the hottest year in recorded history by far, breaking a record set only the year before — a burst of heat that has continued into the new year and is roiling weather patterns all over the world,” today’s scarefest in The New York Times began.
You know, because the global warming “science” is so settled and all. Now they have just up and proclaimed that, hands down, 2015 wasn’t just hotter than usual because of anthropogenic climate change or the hottest year so far in the 2000s… Continue reading “Most Global Warming Ever?

Boise, ID – A mistrial was called in the case of police accountability activist Matthew Townsend, who faces a potential five-year prison sentence for writing a Facebook post critical of a Meridian, Idaho police officer who arrested him without justification. His new trial, which is scheduled for three days, will begin on February 29.
Trial Judge Lynn Norton prompted Assistant Ada County Prosecutor James Vogt to move for a mistrial during the opening argument of defense counsel Aaron Tribble after Townsend’s attorney mentioned that the original arrest involved an alleged jaywalking violation, and that Townsend is now charged with a felony for complaining about the arrest on Facebook.

“It is mind-boggling that a person – no matter their intentions – could purchase as many rifles or shotguns that they want at any given time,” Democratic Assemblyman Miguel Santiago (Los Angeles) said in a statement about his bill. “This is a common-sense solution to gun violence in California.” Continue reading “‘Equal powers of destruction’: California bill would limit firearm sales to 1 a month”

During a townhall meeting on guns, which I wrote about here, Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah said, “I believe in the Second Amendment. It is there, written on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around — I taught constitutional law, I know a little bit about this — I get it.” However, one writer has sought to clarify that Obama was not actually a professor, which means he never taught constitutional law.

South Carolina has long been known for the ridiculous and off-world bills its State House regularly submits to a vote.

Enter another freedom-shredding bill submitted by the Constitutional non-scholar Mike Pitts, a Republican State House member from Laurens, S.C. Continue reading “SC Bill To Register, Determine Competency Of Journalists”

The business of religion for some can be a very profitable profession to enter. Most people think of that sentence in the spiritual sense, but this article is about the physical worldly dollar.
It might be argued that the reason why ministers are more likely to make money today is because they utilize more money making opportunities such as writing books, producing movies and speaking engagements. Continue reading “Top 15 Richest Pastors In America”
