A man incited Chaos at a drunk driving checkpoint in Pennsylvania and is facing up to 7 years in prison for the felony.
Chaos, however, is a dog.
26 year old James Paul Andrews has been charged with “inciting chaos” at a checkpoint in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania by “barking, hissing and growling” at a K-9 named, well, Chaos. Continue reading “Woof: Man Faces Prison Time for Barking at Police Dog”
I just figured I would throw together a quick article giving you guys some links to build an affordable yet good quality AR-15. I’ve seen quite a few people lately buying off the shelf, commercial grade AR’s for $700-800. Quite a few other people have asked me for details on what I would build if I were wanting a great bang for the buck AR. With the links I have listed below, you’ll be able to put together a milspec AR-15 with quality parts for $630 plus shipping (price at time of posting). Obviously these parts are just suggestions from me and you can feel comfortable swapping out one product for another from any of these manufacturers. Continue reading “Links To Build a Quality AR for Just $630 Plus Shipping”

A sixth-grader has been suspended for drawing an inappropriate picture. The drawing did not include any gun, but showed a checkpoint backed up by a SWAT team carrying flower pots while an unarmed drone hovered above.
The suspended girl, whose name is kept secret at the request of her family, said she “just wanted to draw something about social justice, the environment, and the glory of government.” Continue reading “6th-Grader Suspended for Government Drawing (Satire)”
It’s All Politics – by Adam Wollner
In seven days, the federal government runs out of money.
While the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a resolution Friday that keeps the government funded through Dec. 15, the measure also defunded President Obama’s signature health care law — which means it has virtually no chance of passing the Democratic-controlled Senate.
If a budget resolution doesn’t hit President Obama’s desk before Oct. 1, that’s a big problem: The government will be forced to close its doors. Continue reading “8 Things To Know About A Government Shutdown”

Were they criminals, hobbyists, or just two people who wanted to live life like a video game? We don’t know yet, but police are still searching for the two finely dressed men who parachuted into lower Manhattan, landed near the Goldman Sachs building and then disappeared early on Monday morning.
The day’s most intriguing story not involving the government shutdown was first revealed on Twitter by a NBC New York reporter: Continue reading “Police Are Searching for Two Parachutists Who Disappeared Near Goldman Sachs”

To the people in control of the Executive Branch, violating our civil liberties is an essential government service. So — to ensure total fulfillment of Big Brother’s vast responsibilities — the National Security Agency is insulated from any fiscal disruption.
The NSA’s surveillance programs are exempt from a government shutdown. With typical understatement, an unnamed official told The Hill that “a shutdown would be unlikely to affect core NSA operations.” Continue reading “The NSA Deserves a Permanent Shutdown”

Even as President Obama and his administration are making a last minute push to encourage enrollment in Obamacare, a quiet change was made on the Healthcare.gov website regarding those who will still not be able to afford coverage after the program kicks in. From at least June 26, 2013 to as recently as September 15, under the topic, “Where can I get free or low-cost care in my community?” the following statement appeared: “If you can’t afford any health plan, you can get free or low-cost health and dental care at a nearby community health center.” Here is how the page in question appeared: Continue reading “Obamacare Website Quietly Deletes Reference to ‘Free Health Care’”

It’s official. Texas is leaving behind George W. Bush’s baby — the No Child Left Behind education law.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced Monday that he approved the application of Texas, Bush’s home state, for a waiver from the No Child Left Behind Act. This makes Texas the 42nd state to receive permission to ditch the notorious education law’s most onerous strictures. Continue reading “George W. Bush’s Education Law, No Child Left Behind, Abandoned By Texas”

Karen Hudes is a graduate of Yale Law School and she worked in the legal department of the World Bank for more than 20 years. In fact, when she was fired for blowing the whistle on corruption inside the World Bank, she held the position of Senior Counsel. She was in a unique position to see exactly how the global elite rule the world, and the information that she is now revealing to the public is absolutely stunning. According to Hudes, the elite use a very tight core of financial institutions and mega-corporations to dominate the planet. The goal is control. They want all of us enslaved to debt, they want all of our governments enslaved to debt, and they want all of our politicians addicted to the huge financial contributions that they funnel into their campaigns. Since the elite also own all of the big media companies, the mainstream media never lets us in on the secret that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way that our system works.

Like most members of the Congress that passed it and, undoubtedly, the president of the United States who signed it, I have not read the entirety of the ill-named Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Yet there is one aspect concerning that legislation of which I am certain: I will not comply.
I will not comply because I am a free citizen of the United States, not a subject of its government. I consider non-compliance with this monstrosity and the tens of thousands of pages of regulations that are to be enforced by an unelected bureaucracy, and that have left a gigantic carbon footprint on our environment and the United States Constitution, a duty. Continue reading “I Will Not Comply With Obamacare.”

In late 2012, CNN Films approached me about directing a documentary. We discussed a number of potential subjects, and eventually settled on Hillary Rodham Clinton. The film would be ambitious, controversial, and highly visible. But I felt that it was important, that I was qualified to do it, and that I could be fair. CNN gave me complete control (“final cut”) over the theatrical version, and a generous budget. Continue reading “Why I Am Cancelling My Documentary on Hillary Clinton”
In their never-say-die efforts to defeat Obamacare, Tea Party Republicans brought the federal government a giant step closer to shutdown last night. What they seem not to have considered is how America’s foreign creditors will react.
Although China, Japan, and other major creditor nations have no dog in the Obamacare fight, they have a strong interest in preserving America’s basic financial, economic, and social stability. From their point of view, the Tea Party contingent is not following the script and a corrective may be necessary. Continue reading “If Republicans Want To Shut Down Washington, They’ll Have To Ask China’s Permission First”

It turns out that the ominous “government shut down” isn’t so apocalyptic after all since it won’t actually shut down government because the vast majority of federal services and activity will continue as normal.
In addition, the same thing has happened – without dire consequences – no less than 17 times over the past three decades. Continue reading “‘Government Shut Down’ Won’t Actually Shut Down Government”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is at the White House today, meeting with President Obama to discuss security and intelligence matters in the Middle East, including Iran’s nuclear program.
The White House says the two will discuss “final status negotiations with the Palestinians, as well as developments in Iran, Syria, and elsewhere in the region.” Continue reading “Obama And Netanyahu Discuss Iran, Palestinians At White House”
For some people, the fact that mobile applications gather location data and use it to provide services is an intolerable violation of their privacy. For others, it doesn’t really matter as long as their mobile device can direct them to a nearby Starbucks. So what will change in regards to location data with Windows 8? Continue reading “Location Data Collection & Windows 8: Friend or Foe?”
Proof that Windows 7 and 8 both have one giant homing beacon/NSA backdoor in them.
Remember: Turning the feature off doesn’t necessarily mean it is off. It’s just like your webcam. NSA can easily turn it back on without you knowing.
The Windows Location Provider feature in Windows allows applications to find your geographical location. This feature can make use of GPS hardware in your computer directly or it can make use of IP address resolution, Wi-Fi or cellphone tower triangulation methods to locate you geographically. Continue reading “Turn off Windows Location Provider in Windows 8”

NBC News has announced that it will air a special series that will “help Americans get the most out of the Affordable Care Act.”
A press release reports that NBC News will “help” Americans get all they can out of Obamacare. Continue reading “NBC’s Effort to Help Sell ObamaCare to America”
When we already have dozens of satellites in space and Google Earth, why would the Navy be using a blimp to do mapping? This looks like surveillance to me.
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — You may have noticed an unusual sight over the Baltimore area in the last few days—a Navy balloon hovering in the sky. Continue reading “Eye In The Sky: Navy Research Blimp Hovering Over Maryland”
