Author and former CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson recently told senators considering confirmation of President Obama’s next attorney general pick, Loretta Lynch, that the nominee would need to “chart a new path” from the White House’s abysmal record of essentially treating some reporters like “enemies of the state.”

Attkisson’s accusations before the Senate Judiciary Committee were akin to those made in her 2014 book Stonewalled, in which she detailed how the Obama Administration — and officials in her own network — worked to prevent the public from learning more about several scandals, including Operation Fast and Furious, Benghazi and the green energy debacle.   Continue reading “Obama Administration considers independent journalists to be ‘enemies of the state,’ warn reporters”

I, an incurable Ax Junkie, hereby nominate the man or woman responsible for hafting a stone to the end of a stick as the first inductee in the Tool-User Hall of Fame. Second only to clubs, axes are possibly the oldest tool known to man. This wooden lever attached to a stone, a simple machine, was in use over 30,000 years ago revolutionizing not only our “survival kits”, but our destiny as tool-users!

anachronisim [uh–nak-ruh-niz-uh m] – a thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists, especially a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned.

WASHINGTON — The Department of Defense only has about 250 civilian contractors in Iraq supporting the 2,700 US troops deployed there; but a handful of new solicitations and potential contracts may soon add to that number, according to items posted to a federal contracting Web site.

For the past two decades, the resource-heavy American way of war has dictated that where US troops go, civilian contractors follow. It’s a way of doing business that has become ingrained in the Pentagon’s culture as end strength has slowly been whittled away while global commitments show no sign of slackening.   Continue reading “US Looking for Contractors to Help in Iraq”

The history of medical marijuana and its use for epilepsy is a curious one. The marijuana plant, cannabis sativa, has been a part of folk medicine since antiquity and it has been used in Western medicine since the 19th century. One of its early uses was to control epileptic seizures. An obvious drawback, however, was that it was psychoactive — it made its users “high.” It was these psychoactive effects of cannabis that led to its being banned in most countries in the early 20th century. In the 1930s and 1940s, research chemists began to extract various pure compounds — called “cannabinoids” — from the cannabis plant and discovered that some extracts made you high while others didn’t.    Continue reading “Cannabinoids Stop Seizures In Humans”

After the ATF attempted to add the popular M855 green tip ammo to its list of restricted armor piercing munitions, there was widespread backlash against the move by the public. But barely a week after the ban was proposed, the ATF has already pulled back from its controversial decision. They’ve decided to postpone any action against the M855 round, after receiving 80,000 comments from the public, most of which were “critical” of their proposal.

Yesterday morning, the agency announced on twitter “You spoke, we listened. @ATFHQ plans more study on the proposed AP Ammo exemption framework.” However, the White House, which most gun enthusiasts suspected of being behind the ammo ban, has remained defiant.   Continue reading “The Real Reason ATF Is Backing down from Green Tip Ammo Ban”

Last Friday in Santa Ana, Ca, Jacob Emory Swigger was arrested and charged with felony excessive force and assault with a firearm. Swigger, 39, of Lake Forest, was an active police officer with the Signal Hill Police Dept. at the time of the incident last November. He has since been dismissed from the force and is awaiting trial on charges stemming from the incident.

Swigger was on his way to work when his car was cut off by an unnamed male driver in his fifties in the passing line. Swigger then became aggressive, honking at the other driver and following him. Eventually Swigger passed the older man, pulled in front of him and then forced him to stop on the side of the road.   Continue reading “California Officer Fired and Charged for Road Rage Incident”

U.S. Navy sailors exposed to radioactive fallout from the Fukushima nuclear disaster have been falling ill, even as the Defense Department insists that they were not exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. Many of the sailors have now joined in a class action lawsuit against Fukushima operators and builders Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), Toshiba, Hitachi, Ebasco and General Electric.

Even if they wanted to — which many do not — the sailors would be unable to sue the Navy. According to a Supreme Court ruling from the 1950s known as the Feres Doctrine, soldiers cannot sue the government for injuries resulting directly from their military service.   Continue reading “US Navy sailors disappear as government, doctors bury truth about Fukushima radiation”
