The biggest thing to come out of Texas may turn out to be a blow to Internet freedoms: legislators there are considering a bill that would compromise privacy on the Web for all residents of the Lone Star State.
Lawmakers in the State Senate are expected to vote Monday on a bill that, if passed, would compel Internet Service Providers (ISPs) anywhere in the world to fork over private Web records if that information could aid in a criminal investigation.

A few days when reporting that the Russian Pacific fleet had crossed the Suez canal for the first time in decades in order to form a Mediterranean task force parked in Cyprus for obvious symbolic reasons (in close proximity to Syria and the Israel-parked Kearsarge), some observed that while the submarine support was adequate, the actual warship fleet designated to support any potential escalation in Syria would be largely insufficient.

It seems as if every day now there is a new story of someone catching extreme police brutality on camera. The sad truth of the matter is that this happens a lot more than everyday, it probobly happens many times each hour all throughout the country. Many times it takes months, possibly even years for the evidence to finally see the light of day. In this case in Canada, it took about 2 years.

Mr. Conservative – by Warner Todd Huston
The left in America today has ginned up hatred for our Second Amendment so badly that even a gun salesman being dropped off at a major gun show is assumed to be a terrorist by authorities–and treated as such despite the facts.
Italian Daniele Perazzi, the grandson of the owner of the company that makes some of the most expensive shotguns in the world, was on his way to a major gun show in Denver, Colorado, when his taxi driver turned him in claiming he was a “terrorist.” Continue reading “Shotgun Manufacturer Accused Of Terrorism For Transporting Firearms To Gun Show”

As if the medical marijuana industry wasn’t controversial enough—with opponents arguing it encourages drug addiction and crime and supporters citing years of research to the contrary—there are now children benefiting from it. While there are several cases across the country of children being given various forms of cannabis to treat disease and illness, the case of 6-year old Jayden David is getting a particularly heavy dose of attention, where marijuana helped the boy beat severe epileptic seizures.

US Department of Energy study projected that African oil production would rise 91 percent between 2002 and 2025.
The United States is the largest consumer of oil in the world, China the second largest – is there going to be a fight over African oil?

Vernon Hershberger is Wisconsin’s best-known accused criminal. Like Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, Pancho Villa, Billy the Kid, and plenty of others, Hershberger has developed an “outlaw mystique.” People are flocking to Baraboo, Wisconsin to witness his trial, which begins today.
But Hershberger hasn’t killed anyone. He hasn’t even robbed anyone. His alleged crime: Milking cows and selling the milk – without cooking it first. Continue reading “Vernon Hershberger trial puts food freedom “on the table”!”

“Honor was never taking the easy way when it was also the wrong one. Never telling a falsehood unless the truth was painful and unnecessary, or a lie was necessary to save others. Never manipulating the truth to serve only yourself. Protecting the weak and helpless; standing fast even when fear made you weak. Keeping your word.”

Have you ever wondered who controls the mainstream media? In America today, we are more “connected” than ever. The average American watches 153 hours of television a month, and we also spend countless hours watching movies, playing video games, listening to music, reading books and surfing the Internet. If someone could control the production of all of that media, that would make them immensely powerful. They would literally be in a position to tell people what to think.

I have written on the armed march that is supposedly scheduled for July 4, 2013 in Washington, D.C. as well as its organizer Adam Kokesh. In the article on Kokesh, I presented many reasons why one should be wary of him because of his political ties. In the first article I presented why one should not even think of attending his event. However, yesterday, I think it’s quite clear why one should not attend an event that Kokesh is involved in. He was arrested at a marijuana rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a crowd of people gathered to smoke pot out in the open to protest the laws in place against marijuana. While his Facebook page is claiming he is in Federal custody, no one actually knows where Kokesh is. Continue reading “Armed March Leader Kokesh Arrested At Marijuana Rally – Real Or Staged?”

Under President Obama, “justice” is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word. Still, if you happen to be a federal employee, now it’s even listening for your silence.
The only thing this Obama White House seems to generate is scandal. Well, here’s yet another to add to the growing list. In addition to the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political dissenters and the illegal seizure of media phone records, whistleblowers within DOJ have contacted Liberty Counsel to express grave concerns over this administration’s latest attack on freedom.

The US government’s green car program has been under scrutiny with the recent failure of two of the companies that received the loan, including coverage of a $US675 million lawsuit by an inventor claiming he was denied funding for his inflatable electric car company because of politics. What hasn’t gotten much scrutiny is the unsuccessful serial inventor behind the lawsuit. Continue reading “Meet The ‘Inflatable Car’ Inventor Suing The US For $675 Million”
