Today’s election coverage in the Seattle Times and Seattle P-I.com is more revealing about local and national politics than one might suspect, unless one happens to be in the firearms community where “grand delusions” give way to matter-of-fact reality.

Both news organs report anti-gun Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn trailing anti-gun Sen. Ed Murray by aconsiderable margin, yet declining to concede. Delusion has been part of McGinn’s problem for the past four years, particularly when it comes to firearms and their owners. He pursued a reckless–at-best attempt to dance around state preemption and lost big time to the Second Amendment Foundation, National Rifle Association and their allies. In the process, he did exactly the opposite of what he intended: He set the legal stage for state preemption to be strengthened.   Continue reading “Does ‘grand delusion’ define the 2013 election, aftermath?”

Morrisville, NC Mayor Jackie Holcomb attempted to try to find a way to circumvent North Carolina gun laws that went into effect October 1, which expanded the list of places concealed carriers could legally be armed, including parks and greenways. She’d also joined Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) even though gun crime is almost nonexistent in Morrisville, and tried to force a local store to give up selling semi-automatic sporting rifles.   Continue reading “MAIG Mayor who tried to circumvent gun laws defeated in NC”

The New Boston Tea Party

Secession or the talk of secession is getting the attention of some politicians; not only are they nervous, but are showing concern. Of late the movement has gathered some steam. In fact the Texas Nationalist Movement has thousand upon thousands of members. Colorado too has joined the band wagon.

We are seeing intra-state divisions and straight-out calls for independence as is the case in Texas. Will this amount to anything is anybody’s guess. The dividing a state into two is a lengthy process. However, the rise of activists is not only a sign of suspicion with the liberal agenda but it is the another shot at the do-gooder politicians. Those seeking independence are not some right wing vigilantes; they are common folks whose desire is to live their life as they sit fit, distanced from big government and its invisible hand.    Continue reading “The Whispers are Getting Louder”

The slogan of the New Century Global Center, the recently completed largest building in the world by floor space, sounds at first like a Chinglish-y misfire: “The One of Everything.” But as I spent a day wandering around the structure, located in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, the catchphrase started to take on a kind of brilliance. It captures the building’s comprehensiveness: It really does have one of everything, from a shopping mall to an Intercontinental Hotel to a 14-screen IMAX theater to a water park to a fake church to a McDoniqloGAPbucks to an ice skating rink—everything, that is, except restraint.

An Excellent Comment by Cal.

By voting for either Democrat or Republican you are voting for the destruction of the USA and the American people. There is NO difference. They continue on with the polices of the previous administration and add to them more unconstitutional policies. They are both destroying our legitimate government, willingly and treasonously.

You are supposed to vote your conscience, for the person who would uphold the US Constitution, not follow and vote the party line.   Continue reading “A Democrat or Republican Vote is a Vote for the Destruction of the USA”

WASHINGTON –  Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted Wednesday that it was possible convicted felons could be hired as ObamaCare ‘navigators,’ giving them access to personal information like Social Security numbers and addresses of anyone signing up for the program.

Sebelius made the admission in an exchange with Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas., during a Senate Finance Committee hearing. It was the second time in a week Sebelius was on Capitol Hill, forced to defend the problem-plagued ObamaCare website.   Continue reading “Felons could have been hired as ObamaCare ‘navigators,’ Sebelius tells Senate panel”

After 3 months of careful budgeting, shopping, food preservation, repackaging, and stockpiling, we now have a one year food supply. This doesn’t mean that we don’t have to shop for a year, but it does mean that we have a cushion against disaster, whether it be personal, regional, financial, or natural. It gives us the freedom to wait out price spikes and purchase items on sale or in bulk. It means fewer trips to the store (and less temptation to go off-budget). It means that when scanning new recipes I nearly always have the ingredients on hand to make the delicious goodies that I find.   Continue reading “The Pantry Primer: Maintaining the One Year Stockpile”

WEB Notes: Who with any dignity would take a job feeling up innocent Americans traveling about the country? TSA agents, who look at men and woman as they pass through naked body scanners. The same agents who stick their hands down little boys pants. Disgusted Mr and Mrs America? You should be, you let this happen. Vote with your pocket, stop flying. To top it off they want to consider giving these goons guns? I don’t think so.   Continue reading “Arming TSA officers hits resistance on the Hill”

American Tactical Imports is the third gun company to announce it would be leaving the state and will be investing $2.7 million in its new facility and creating 117 new jobs in South Carolina.   Continue reading “Three Gun Companies Leave NY Following Gun Law”

The killing of a TSA officer at the Los Angeles International Airport last week has reignited the debate over whether the agency’s staff should be given the ability to make arrests, as well as carry firearms.

On Friday a gunman opened fire at LAX’s Terminal 3, fatally shooting 39-year-old TSA officer Gerardo Hernandez, marking the first such incident for the TSA where one of its screeners was killed on the job.   Continue reading “Los Angeles airport shooting reignites calls to arm the TSA”
