Phoenix, AZ–In this state where concealed carrying if firearms by law-abiding citizens requires no license or permits the choices of guns are unlimited. However I teach and preach that conflict avoidance is the best policy. Walk softly but carry a big stick is the right way. Continue reading “A Pretty Pair of Hideout Handguns”

Under New York’s SAFE Act, the state has now identified 278 licensed gun owners who may lose their guns due to the state deeming them “mentally unstable.”
Governor Andrew Cuomo pushed legislators to pass the SAFE Act in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. Many protested the pretended legislation by burning gun registration forms and one man in particular, Aaron Weiss, an American veteran who served in Iraq, declared, “My rights trump your dead. I earned it in blood!” Even sheriffs filed a lawsuit against the law. Continue reading “New York Claims 278 Gun Owners are “Mentally Unstable” – Could Lose Their Weapons”

House Speaker John Boehner has broken his pledge to give Americans “at least 72 hours” to read every bill taken up by the House before it is brought to a vote on the floor.
In his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference held in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 18, 2010, Boehner vowed that if he became speaker members of Congress and the American people would be given “at least 72 hours” to read all bills before they were brought to a vote.

Weatherwax died of a heart attack at his Box Canyon, California, home over the weekend, said Joey D. Vieira, his half brother. Weatherwax’s body was found on Sunday. Continue reading “‘Addams Family’ child star Ken Weatherwax dead at 59”
Once upon a time, in medieval universities, new students enrolled in the Trivium. It was the foundation curriculum. It was required. Its parts were: grammar, logic, and rhetoric.
Grammar: the interior construction of language.
Logic: the valid and invalid connections in the course of a formal argument; the method of proper reasoning; the deductive links in a chain, at the end of which appears a conclusion. Continue reading “Education programming 101: destroy logic”
Arkansas governor pardons own son for a pot offense. He should pardon a lot more people … Mike Beebe, the Arkansas Democrat whose term as governor is expiring early next year, has formally announced that he plans to pardon his own son for a 2003 marijuana conviction. The plan was first reported last month by local media. It’s perfectly reasonable to believe that dealing marijuana – which is now legal in multiple states – shouldn’t make someone a felon. But there were 5,876 people arrested for marijuana possession in 2003, the year Beebe’s son Kyle was charged. And thousands of Arkansans – every one of which was someone’s son or daughter – have been arrested for marijuana possession every year since then. If Kyle deserves mercy – and he does – then so do others convicted under the same laws. – Vox Continue reading “What Happens If People Decide the War on Drugs Was Not Only Dysfunctional but Also False?”

I begin with an insight offered by Professor Carroll Quigley (1910—1977), who taught history to Bill Clinton at Georgetown University. He had such a profound impact on Clinton that Clinton referred to him in his 1992 nomination acceptance speech. Quigley is famous among conservatives for his book, Tragedy and Hope (1966), in which he devoted 20 pages to the connections between Wall Street banking firms and American foreign policy, which has been dominated by the liberal left (pp. 950ff). But Quigley was also an expert in the history of weaponry. One of his books, Weapons Systems and Political Stability: A History, was printed directly from a typewritten manuscript and is known only to a handful of specialists, was a 1,000-page history of weaponry that ended with the Middle Ages. In Tragedy and Hope, he wrote about the relationship between amateur weapons and liberty. By amateur, he meant low cost. He meant, in the pejorative phrase of political statists, Saturday-night specials. Continue reading “Is it Time to Disarm the Police?”

I think at a certain point one has to understand that globalization amounts to treason. These greedy Vichy politicians we have in Washington need to be removed before they hand over everything in the country that isn’t nailed to the floor.
This is Tonto National Forest. It is yours. It is this country’s fifth largest forest and has on average 5.8 million visitors annually. It was set aside as a national forest back in 1905 in order to protect its watersheds around key reservoirs used by the people of the communities around it which include Phoenix, Flagstaff, Prescot, Snowflake, Winslow and the Fort Apache Reservation. “The forest produces an average of 350,000 acre-feet of water each year” feeding into Theodore Roosevelt Lake and the Salt River which bisects the national forest running east to west. In 1955 Eisenhower used Public Land Order 1229 to protect parts of Tonto National Forest from the mining industry that wanted to despoil it for profits. There’s copper in them there hills and therefore, there’s gold. Thanks to that and the work of conservationists over the decades, without a doubt, it is one of the most beautiful unspoiled areas this nation has left… and Sen. John McCain wants to give it to a British mining company by using the latest version of the NDAA to do it. Continue reading “John McCain Trying to Use NDAA to Give Tonto National Forest to a British Mining Company”
A purring feline in the Bulgarian seaside resort town of Varna has been making headlines because of its unusually emerald green fur. Although several theories have tried to explain the radioactive color of the stray animal, the true cause of its coloration remains a mystery.
The ‘green cat of Bulgaria’, as the brightly colored feline has come to be known online, was spotted prowling the streets of Varna a few days ago, and as soon as photos of it appeared on the internet, it became an international news topic. Truth be told, it’s not every day that you get to see a real-life emerald cat, and the inexplicable cause of its bizarre color simply made the topic even more intriguing.

As dangerous as a virus is to your computer, delete it by yourself can be even more dangerous. Removing a virus without the help of antivirus software is possible but risky. It should only be done by someone who is able to recognize which files are needed for the computer and that are part of the virus. You must delete all files and registry keys associated with the virus to get rid of it. You may not be able to delete some of them without changing them. Your computer’s command prompt can help you accomplish this task. Continue reading “How to Remove a Virus Manually without Using Antivirus Software”
U.S. Ron Wyden of Oregon wants to ban the practice of requiring tech companies to integrate back doors into their devices, allowing the federal government to snoop on Americans.
In a bill introduced Thursday, titled the Secure Data Act, Wyden, a Democrat, lays out the case for scrapping government requirements for companies who produce cell phones and computers to include capabilities for law enforcement and federal agencies to secretly access user data. Continue reading “Wyden: No more ‘back doors’ in Americans’ computers, phones”
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1” claimed the top spot at the box office for the third weekend in a row with an estimated $21.6 million.
The penultimate chapter in the massively successful franchise has now earned $257.7 million domestically. “Mockingjay – Part 1” is still about $78 million shy of where the previous installment, “Catching Fire,” was in its third weekend just last year.
Post-Thanksgiving is generally one of the year’s slowest box office weekends, with no new, wide releases. Continue reading “‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1’ tops slow weekend at the box office”

A judge in Alabama shows an example of both the deadly danger of a punch, disparity of force, and the changes that ubiquitous cameras are bringing to the justice system. It is also interesting how misleading the early reporting was. From video evidence later on, it was clear that there was no fight. One man was attacked, and responded to the attack. It is clear that some people tryed to fit this into the “progressive elite” model of murder. From the Original article: Continue reading “AL: One Punch, One Shot, One Killed, Charges Dismissed”
Just because you have a business doesn’t make it yours; at least not when there is a Gay Mafia!
There is an update in the case of the farmer who didn’t want his private home used for gay weddings, and that is: it’s not about GAYS, it’s about MONEY!
Liberty Ridge Farms is the residence of Robert and Cynthia Gifford, who host events on their property; occasionally they allow wedding ceremonies in the house they live in. Continue reading “Gay Mafia has NOTHING on THIS Mafia”
Fire starting is at or near the top of all survival checklists with redundancy of method also on the list. In reality, keeping the fire alive is arguably more important than starting one since the burning flame does the work, not the ignition. But of course the fire must begin somehow. Most kits have multiple ways of starting a fire, with usually about three to five different objects that can give birth to flame. In my kit I have more than a dozen things that can start a fire and knowledge of at least five more ways that have been known to start fires. But it makes little sense to carry around all of them since most have few or no advantages over other ways of igniting a flame. Continue reading “15 Ways To Start A Fire”
