WASHINGTON (AP) — Agricultural business giant Monsanto Co. reported worse-than-expected losses for its fiscal fourth quarter on Wednesday, due to lower sales of its genetically engineered seeds.

The company forecast for fiscal 2014 also came in below Wall Street expectations, and it revealed plans to buy farming software and data firm The Climate Corporation. The combination sent shares lower in morning trading.   Continue reading “Monsanto loss widens, announces $930M acquisition”

The Obama Administration has decided to block access to public memorials on the National Mall as a result of the government shutdown. Like its decision to end White House tours when the sequester cuts took effect, there is no rational reason for this. The Park Police, nominally in charge of monitoring these spaces, isn’t even effected by the shutdown. Shutting off access to these sites is gratuitous and petulant.   Continue reading “Obama Administration Decided to Block Access to Memorials”

Sometimes timing is everything. Yesterday was day one of the federal government shutdown, and one of the biggest stories of the day was the barricading of the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C., nearly preventing a group of 92 veterans from Mississippi who had been flown in on an Honor Flight from visiting the site. But it was also the day that the U.S. Army chose to award a $2,163 contract for a “massage chair”:   Continue reading “Despite Gov’t Shutdown, Army Awards $2,163 Contract for ‘Massage Chair’”

UPDATE: Hobby Lobby has informed us they will not be closing any stores. In fact, they plan on adding an additional 36-60 stores this year. They also advised us the Becket Fund is handling their legal issues with the government at this time. You may contact the Becket Fund with any questions or donations you may wish to contribute to this cause.

Make note this issue is not settled. Hobby Lobby has only won a “temporary” exemption from the new healthcare requirement. This fight is not over for Hobby Lobby or the other businesses being effected by overreaching government. The government cannot make laws restricting you from your right to exercise your religion.   Continue reading “Update: Hobby Lobby Will Not Be Closing Any Stores”

From September 28-30, the ReThink 9/11 billboard campaign raised an incredible $25,000 dollars to keep it’s 54 foot Billboard active in New York City’s Time Square through October. This comes following a giant month-long effort that raised $225,000 for a 12 city, international billboard campaign that came to fruition on the 12th anniversary of 9/11.

The Billboard campaign focuses to spread awareness about the elephant in the room regarding the 9/11 story, the collapse of building 7. Many polls and on the street interviews by several journalists show that many people were completely unaware that 3 towers fell on that day, which is mind-blowing considering this was the most horrific attack inside America in recent history.   Continue reading “Voting With Dollars – $25,000 Raised in 3 days for ReThink 9/11 Billboard”

Freedom Outpost – by Dean Garrison

The United States federal government is so big that it can shut down and somehow no one really notices. That’s the truth. What difference did you notice yesterday? I am sure there are subtle things that we could pick out but when vital services keep running there isn’t a lot to shut down. Because our government sees everything as vital.

The message of Tim Brown’s article the other day is something that a lot of people have been waiting to hear. I can’t tell you how many times I have had conversations in which someone interjected the inevitable…   Continue reading “Multiple Patriot Groups Set to Converge on Washington DC”

HWA2aMany, if not most, are aware of my feelings about the way things are going for I post articles here, and elsewhere, along with what some would call, inflammatory comments. I don’t apologize for speaking out on what I see and believe. I never will. That’s just who I am. Will I shirk away from my Sacred Duty to our Republic, NEVER! That’s what this article is about, those who Never shirked away.

The greatest generation, who defeated the axis powers of WWII, is in battle once again and they shouldn’t have to be. They’ve earned their place in the sun, and now it’s being denied them in more ways than one and they’re not taking it any more…nor should they. What we’re witnessing is just this….MEN and WOMEN of that era are taking charge AGAIN by leading the charge against Tyranny and Oppression, not in some distant land, but right here at home.   Continue reading “Warriors Leading The Way ONCE AGAIN”

WASHINGTON – Banks “too big to fail,” or TBTFs, already have authority in the United States to impose an unlimited Cyprus-style “bail-in” that confiscates the savings of depositors, stockholders and shareholders in lieu of a federal taxpayer bailout.

The Cyprus-style bail-in for banks occurred last year when the Cypriot government decided to take all uninsured deposits above 100,000 euros to apply to recapitalizing the island’s failing banks. WND recently detailed the initial impact that such action caused depositors on that island country.   Continue reading “U.S. banks already can take your money”

All across America yesterday, people were running into frustrating technical problems because the online Obamacare exchanges are full of glitches. Over fifty percent of the exchanges demonstrated critical failures, CNN reported. This is astonishing because CNN has long taken a pro-Obamacare stance.

“The CNN medical team branched out. We tried in about 20 different state states. In 12 of them we hit glitches,” CNN reported. “Sometimes it made it impossible to sign up. There were error messages or that little annoying kind of twirly thing.” (SOURCE)   Continue reading “Obamacare exchanges hit with over 50 percent fail rate; feds claim the worse the glitches, the bigger the success!”

The sanctity of medical privacy and doctor-patient privilege is a thing of the past with Obamacare.

The insurance exchange database hasn’t even gone live yet, and there has been a security breach that left the personal information of 2400 people exposed.

An employee of Minnesota’s Obamacare exchange, MNsure, sent an unencrypted file to the wrong person and left 2,400 people’s private information at the mercy of a nearby insurance agent.   Continue reading “Hello Obamacare, Goodbye Privacy: First Data Leak Reported and the System Isn’t Even Live Yet”

Happy holidays?

Hobby Lobby, the Oklahoma-based arts and crafts company founded by Christian evangelical David Green, stands accused of anti-Semitism because its stores do not carry Jewish holiday decorations.

The controversy erupted Friday after blogger Ken Berwitz posted an article on political website Hopelessly Partisan after receiving word that Hobby Lobby stores in Marlboro Township, N.J., refused to sell menorahs and other Jewish holiday items.   Continue reading “Hobby Lobby accused of anti-Semitism over lack of menorahs, Chanukah decorations”

Petitions 24

To: The President & Congress

This petition of course will not motivate Congress to take any real action, as they are controlled by special interests and not accountable to the people. Rather lets begin the discussion about shutting down large segments of the federal government and the transfer of these powers and programs back to the individual states and localities where they can benefit the unique needs of the people and at a far lower cost.   Continue reading “A Petition To Permanently Shutdown Washington”

Phoenix, AZ- It was, as Sal DiCiccio tells it, the end of the world as we know it.

The Phoenix District 6 Councilman said he was enjoying the ASU-USC game Saturday in Tempe when, on the north side of Sun Devil Stadium, he encountered a white flatbed truck from the Phoenix Police Department. He and a group of friends noticed a camera mounted in the back videotaping tailgaters at the game.   Continue reading “Police are now recording tailgaters at football games under the DHS sponsored “Urban Areas Security Initiative””
