The Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges

In times of crises, the government has proven, time and time again, that it cannot be counted on to adequately protect the American people. As the American people have not prepared for the coming dark days, they will be vulnerable to starvation, dehydration, cholera, pandemics and attacks from resource-deficient  looters. Will the government be there to save them? History has already answered this question in the negative. Events such as Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, L.A. riots and the Ferguson riots have repeatedly demonstrated that when trouble comes, the American people will be on their own.   Continue reading “How the UN Is Confiscating American Homes and Controlling All Food and Energy”

Apple Valley, MN- Police have released limited details regarding the deaths of filmmaker David Crowley, his wife Komel, and their 5-year-old daughter, but have acknowledged that the deaths are being treated as “suspicious” while an investigation is underway.

The bodies of David, Komel and their daughter were discovered on Saturday by the Crowley’s next-door neighbor, Collin Prochnow. It was reported that the bodies had been inside the home for several weeks. Prochnow said that he had not seen any activity in the Crowley’s home since around Christmas, and he had initially assumed the family was traveling during the holidays. Prochnow said that packages were accumulating on the home’s doorstep and noticed that the lights inside the house were on day and night, so he decided to check on the family’s wellbeing over the past weekend.   Continue reading “Deaths Of “Gray State” Director And Family Under Investigation”

Remember back when seat belt and cell phones-in-car laws were up for debate? And people acknowledged it was safer to use the seat belt; ditch the phone, but didn’t want legislation to lead to invasive police tactics and swarms of tickets? Back when people would say things about some kind of slippery slope and say things like, what’s next, will I get a ticket for eating a french fry? Will the State say, you can’t just go down the road eating a hamburger? 

Matt Turner of Alabama conscientiously drove through Marietta, Georgia last week when an officer told him, “you can’t just go down the road eating a hamburger.”   Continue reading “First Ticket for Eating Fast Food While Driving?”

jury nullifcationFree Thought Project – by John Vibes

New York City, New York – According to multiple reports, Judge Katherine Forrest has threatened to impose a secret jury in the case of accused Silk Road operator Ross Ulbricht, in response to jury nullification outreach that has been taking place outside the courtroom all week.

For those who don’t know, jury nullification is basically the right for any juror to not only judge the facts of the case, but to also actually judge the validity of the law itself. This means that if a jury feels that a defendant is facing an unjust charge, they actually have the right to rule in the defendant’s favor, even if they are technically guilty under the court’s standards.   Continue reading “Judge Threatens To Impose A “Secret Jury” After Activists Try to Inform Jurors of Legal Rights”
