Almost 11 million people couldn’t find a job in November, and for those who don’t earn a paycheck, unemployment benefits work for the economy, too, a leading Democrat says.
“Economists agree that unemployment benefits remain one of the best ways to grow the economy in a very immediate way,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (R-Calif.) said at a news conference on Thursday. Continue reading “Pelosi: Extending Unemployment ‘One of Best Ways to Grow the Economy’”
sage: Do I see some shenanigans going on here? Saudi Arabia rejects their seat on the UN Security Council and Jordan is elected to step into it (Story 1). Meanwhile in Story 2, the US is sending missiles to Saudi Arabia in an effort to bring resolution to the Middle East because “…This region is dangerous, it’s combustible, it’s unstable…” So, is this telling me that bringing in more weapons and having the US big brother influence is going to help bring peace? Sorry, I don’t buy it. It’s that kind of thinking that got us into our predicament in the first place.

In 2011, a 13-year-old student in Albuquerque, New Mexico burped audibly in class (perhaps the school lunch didn’t agree with him). His instructor summoned the school resource officer, one of a new generation ofpolice officers and specially trained go-betweens stationed in school environments, and the student found himself booked into a juvenile detention facility. He had fallen victim to his school’s zero-tolerance policy, a framework used across the nation to crack down fast and hard on unwanted behaviors, but one that has resulted in what critics are calling a school-to-prison pipeline, as students are fast-tracked to juvenile courts for offenses like writing their names on desks. Continue reading “Zero-Tolerance Policies in Schools are Often Destructive, Fueling a School to Prison Pipeline”
I of all people am for independent thinking and action on the part of people, but we have been sooo brainwashed by the government and U.S. press most people don’t have a clue as to what is happening.
You should certainly do what you want, but I HIGHLY suggest you DO NOT sign up for Obamacare until you read this CAREFULLY. Chief Justice Roberts carefully worded his ruling and left out any requirement to participate for 95% of Americans. Continue reading “How Chief Justice Roberts Saved America in His Obamacare Ruling”

Google may have been, until now, the Obama of hip internet monopolies. No matter how many nations the President bombs, people still put Obama peace-sign stickers on their cars. No matter how many radical rightwing initiatives Google funds, people still think it’s a “progressive corporation” — How could it not be? It’s making progress!
Google is funding Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, the Federalist Society, the American Conservative Union, and the political arm of the Heritage Foundation. Continue reading “I Googled “Evil” and it Took Me to Google”
One evening this past August, an employee at a Staples office supply store in a Wake Forest, N.C., strip mall heard a bang, and then a woman’s cry for help.
The worker and another shopper rounded a corner to discover Danielle Hayes, 29, bleeding from her hand. The pistol she kept in her purse had accidentally discharged as she was trying to keep it away from her 2-year-old son, Hayes said.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Saturday deported an elderly U.S. tourist, apparently ending the saga of Merrill Newman’s return to the North six decades after he advised South Korean guerrillas still loathed by Pyongyang.
North Korea made the decision because the 85-year-old Newman, who was detained since late October, apologized for his alleged crimes during the Korean War and because of his age and medical condition, according to the North’s official Korean Central News Agency. Continue reading “Merrill E. Newman, American Vet Detained In North Korea, Reportedly Deported”
Royal Bank of Scotland said its websites were the victim of a cyber attack that left some customers unable to access their accounts in the group’s second computer crash in less than a week.
The group’s sites went down for about an hour today and yesterday evening after a “deliberate” surge in internet traffic aimed at its NatWest website, according to the lender.
It said sites were now back up and running and there was no risk to customers. Continue reading “Cyber attack on RBS websites”
David,
I read your article and the Esquire piece on Batemen and got furious. I wrote him and the banter is below.
I am waiting to reply to his arrogant response. I am thinking that waging war on law abiding US citizens is not treason? Did we not fight the Revolutionary war on the basic principles we are being subjected to today? Does he really think this Congress would declare a war given the track record of their reluctance to do so ever since Korea? Continue reading “Lt. Col. Robert Bateman’s Response to A Patriot”

As South Africa’s 95-year-old Nelson Mandela lies in the hospital, the worldwide media portrays him as a larger-than-life heroic figure and the liberator of his people. But is that truth or fiction? And how will honest historians judge him?
The official story goes something like this: Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in 1918 into the Thembu tribe’s royal family. He studied law at two prestigious universities and became involved in “anti-colonial politics,” joining the African National Congress (ANC). He was committed to non-violent protest in gaining sovereignty for blacks. In 1962 he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the government and was sentenced to life in prison. Continue reading “The Real Mandela”
CIA Central In Mandela’s Arrest … Kept Him On Terrorist List Until 2008
Everyone from President Obama to the mainstream news is lionizing Nelson Mandela.
But the New York Times reported in 1990: Continue reading “U.S. Lionizes Mandela In Death … But Labeled Him a Terrorist While He Was Alive”
A firestorm has been started on Esquire’s The Politics Blog with a Tuesday opinion piece by Lt. Col. Robert Bateman titled “It’s time to talk about guns and the Supreme Court.” He not only takes SCOTUS and Justice Antonin Scalia to task for their Heller decision interpretation of the Second Amendment, but goes on to propose citizen disarmament edicts that dispense with false assurances given by some in the gun ban camp that nobody wants to take our guns away.
Bateman does, big time, and makes no bones about it. In a way, he’s done us a service by giving a glimpse of the end game less candid incrementalists are inching toward. Continue reading “Military officer calls for nationwide gun-grab”
A biting Winter storm has blasted the South and Midwest with ice and snow – leaving more than a quarter of a million people without power, grounding hundreds of flights and causing treacherous conditions for travelers.
Two people have died in traffic accidents on roads in Texas, where temperatures plunged below freezing on what residents dubbed ‘Ice Friday’. Continue reading “South and Midwest blasted by bitter Winter storm as snow and ice grounds hundreds of flights and leaves nearly 300,000 without power”
Gilbert, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- The first detailed scholarly analysis of knives and the Second Amendment has been published in the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform (vol. 47, pages 167-215).
Authored by noted Second Amendment scholars David Kopel, Clayton Cramer and Joe Olson, the paper makes the case for knives as “arms” protected by the Second Amendment, supporting one of Knife Rights’ foundational tenets. Continue reading “‘Knives and the Second Amendment’ Legal Article Published”
Manassas, VA –-(Ammoland.com)- Rights advocates around the country need to be on the lookout for an insidious new tactic being launched by Mike Bloomberg and his mercenary minions.
Their latest line of attack is mental health. This actually isn’t so much a new approach as a refocusing and turbo charging of an older plan. Continue reading “Mental Health – The Next Gun Rights Assault”
Now I use one of these and the statement that these could cause people to get hooked on nicotine is false. You can get 0% nicotine liquid to put in them. Although I’m not 100% convinced that vapor is that good for you eather I do feel better when using that rather than smoking cigarettes.
New Yorkers who say electronic cigarettes helped them quit smoking asked city lawmakers at a hearing this week not to ban the nicotine inhalers from restaurants, workplaces and other indoor spaces, saying there isn’t enough evidence they pose a health risk to justify their exclusion. Continue reading “New York City proposal seeks ban on electronic cigarette use in public”
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. School days school days dear old golden rules day don’t have to study don’t have to go look out the window it’s starting to snow Continue reading ““It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas””
Here is the difference between a terrorist and a freedom/resistance fighter, in my opinion:
A terrorist engages in indiscriminate killing in order create fear and further his agenda, which will include the killing of innocents, children, with tactics such as bombs/attacks in crowded public places.
A Freedom/Resistance fighter will engage legitimate targets, whether military or enemy facilitators. They will not target innocents or children. Continue reading “Terrorist Vs. Freedom Fighter”
This in via email, from SP:
“I posed a question in the SWAT Threat thread concerning if/how/when/should someone that has just escaped a no-knock raid thus taking to the hills, and whether at some point the person is going to have to put their position forward to the media justifying their actions (MSM or alternative media), and if so how important would it be.
Chuck replied to the question and posed the concept of the Information Operations will be just as important as Kinetic Operations. Continue reading “Fugitive Media Management!”
