Here’s an idea for an awesome dogfighting aircraft. Make it small, light, and fast. Build it out of materials that are hard to detect on radar. Even give it a laser cannon.

Oh, and don’t put a human in the cockpit. In fact, don’t even closely tie the drone to human ground control. Because in an aerial knife fight, a computer-controlled machine will beat a human pilot.   Continue reading “This laser-armed drone could blow fighter jets out of the sky”

The federal government unsuccessfully tried to house at least 400 illegal immigrant juveniles at empty stores, hotels, and warehouses in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, like many governors across the nation, was not even notified of these potential plans in July.

Ultimately, the Fox Valley region was unable to provide sites that were “within 100 miles of an airport.”   Continue reading “Report: Feds Wanted to House Illegals in Empty Hotels, Stores in Wisconsin”

More than 600 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions were released by federal authorities in early 2013 in advance of the “sequester” budget cuts, according to a government watchdog report obtained by FoxNews.com.

The report by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General showed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released “criminal aliens” from jails all over the country as part of a wave of releases in February 2013. The agency came under fire at the time for the decision, which critics described as politically motivated and dangerous.    Continue reading “Watchdog: 600-plus ‘criminal’ illegal immigrants released amid 2013 budget cuts”

The U.S. Navy has instructed housekeepers to remove Gideon-placed Bibles from every hotel room on its military bases after it received a letter from the atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF).

“We were told today, June 23, 2014, that due to a new policy by the CEO of NEXCOM, Rear Admiral Robert J. Bianchi, we were to remove the Bibles from the rooms,” a housekeeper told AFA in an email. “They told us to put them in boxes, where they would be taken to a donation center somewhere.”   Continue reading “Navy orders Bibles removed from base hotels”

The message the Wisconsin Judicial Branch recently sent is that you have can not milk your own cow unless you have a license from the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP).  This is way over the top. You can not milk a cow without a license, seriously.

Wisconsin farms that do have a DATCP license can milk their GMO fed cows and send their product to a processor. Burn the milk till most nutrients are dead or altered and then it is considered safe for human consumption. You can cook the milk all you want but that does not guarantee the consumer a superior product.    Continue reading “Nanny State Wisconsin: Don’t Milk Your Cow Without a License”

In an effort to protect personal data from falling into the hands of thieves, a bill that requires mandatory technology on all smartphones sold in California is one step away from becoming law after a California Senate vote on Monday.

California legislators are attempting to deal a blow to thieves who have made smartphone theft almost an epidemic crime in America’s most populous state. Smartphone theft accounts for more than half of all crimes in some of the state’s biggest cities, including San Francisco and Oakland.    Continue reading “Smartphone ‘kill switch’ bill moves to California governor’s desk”

A Washington, DC news crew got more than it bargained for while working on a story about a new smartphone app that labels “sketchy” neighborhoods: they got robbed.

The incident took place on Saturday, as reporters from WUSA9 asked residents in a local neighborhood how they felt about living in an area labeled “sketchy” by a new app that went unnamed during the report. While residents told reporter Mola Lenghi that the neighborhood was not as unsafe as the app suggested, the news crew filming the interviews had their cargo lifted from their vehicle.   Continue reading “Reporters robbed while working on story about ‘sketchy’ neighborhood app”

Several months ago I reported that our wise President is closing down the last lead smelting plant inside the United States which will put yet another crimp on ammo for civilians and military alike.  You may want to begin securing supplies of lead now as prices will surely rise as many more preppers and sportsmen will likely step up making their own ammo supply.   Continue reading “Lead Shortages Coming – How to Make Your Own Ammo”

The word pandemic strikes fear into the heart of many, particularly those who fear disease more than any of the other issues that could quite easily change our way of life forever. A pandemic is simply a global epidemic of a given disease, the word pandemic in itself does not denote the severity of the disease, or the impacts it will have on our lives.

Ebola is a terrible disease, one as yet that has no cure…the same could be said of influenza but that does not seem to evoke nearly as much terror as the word Ebola, particularly when the word Zaire is tacked onto the end of it. Ebola Zaire is the most lethal of the five currently known strains of Ebola virus.   Continue reading “How Does An Ebola Pandemic Differ To Other Potential Pandemics?”
