JOHANNESBURG (AP) — They bound his hands to the rear of a van, and then sped off, dragging the slender taxi driver along the pavement as a crowd of onlookers shouted in dismay. The man was later found dead.

A gut-wrenching video of the scene is all the more disturbing because the men who abused the Mozambican immigrant were uniformed South African police officers and the van was a marked police vehicle. The graphic scenes of the victim struggling for his life shocked a nation long accustomed to reports of police violence. Continue reading “SAfrican police drag man, who later dies”

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York sought to combat violence by rushing the nation’s toughest gun control measure into law after the Connecticut school shootings that killed 26 people, but the state is now carving out an exemption to make sure movie and TV producers can stage running gun battles on Manhattan streets.

Movie and TV productions have long been courted by New York and other states with tax breaks in exchange for the jobs and glamour of the industry. Hollywood is also a major campaign fundraising stop for New York politicians. Continue reading “New York Gun Law Exemption Will Allow TV, Movies To Stage Gun Battles”

Fake voters, fake email accounts, fake Twitter supporters, and propaganda: it’s just all in a day’s work for our President, Barack Obama. And now rabid gun control advocate Senator Dianne Feinstein has decided she can stage rigged gun control hearings to buoy her agenda and eliminate our Second Amendment rights.

The Washington Times reported that Feinstein was not happy with the witnesses who testified at the last gun control hearing, and “she plans to hold a separate hearing with witnesses more inclined to back gun control.” Continue reading “Feinstein Attempting To Rig Gun Debate As Fake Supporters Bolster Control Agenda”

The recent Waco-style killing of former Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer Christopher Dorner by a band of bloodthirsty LAPD officers serves as a grim reminder of how completely out of control the police state system can become when faced with outside threats to its own continuity. But Dorner’s premeditated execution without a trial is not the only recent example of this new brand of lawless “justice,” as reports continue to emerge showing that police departments all across the country routinely break protocol, abandon the law when convenient, and put the lives of countless civilians at needless risk.

Gun-control laws don’t reduce crime, but they do reduce employment. Some governors don’t care and are pushing for more pointless statutes that put their citizens’ jobs on the line. Smarter governors sense the opportunity to poach a few manufacturers from their colleagues. Continue reading “Gun Grabbers Kill Jobs”

It’s Looney Toons on Capitol Hill.

Everyone’s heard about the “red herring” Feinstein Gun Ban, which “red state Democrats” will vote down in order to pretend they’re “pro-gun.”

But the bigger danger is that Obama will sign “non-controversial” gun control which is just as dangerous, but no one but us is talking about. Continue reading “Smoke a Joint, Get an ObamaPass – Sell a gun to someone who smokes a joint, get 20 years in jail”

Sarah Palin says America will eventually default on its debt and claims that the federal government is “stockpiling bullets in case of civil unrest” to prepare.

“If we are going to wet our proverbial pants over 0.3% in annual spending cuts when we’re running up trillion dollar annual deficits, then we’re done. Put a fork in us. We’re finished. We’re going to default eventually and that’s why the feds are stockpiling bullets in case of civil unrest,” Palin wrote in a Facebook message Tuesday.

Hillary Clinton, the most traveled Secretary of State in US history, began her term as Secretary appointed by a person she had opposed in the Democratic Presidential primary in 2008. She and that person had many differences. One difference came up when one of her supporters, Philip Berg, a prominent attorney, and a former Democrat Party chairman in Montgomery County, PA, insisted her opponent, Barack Obama, was born in Kenya and Berg tried to get the matter dealt with in a Federal Court. That did not work out and Hillary became Secretary of State.

She immediately got to work meeting with her counterparts all over the world. Everywhere she went, she and her friends would have a night out on the town. In 2012 camera crews caught some of the action in Columbia where she was attending a Summit of the Americas. There she was referred to as the ‘Secretary of Partying’. One of the crew noted her trip to Estonia, when she was a US Senator, where she participated in a vodka-drinking contest. One of the newspapers covering her misspelled her first name in a headline “SWILLERY” Continue reading “The Legacy of Hillary Clinton: The World’s on Fire – Party On”

Above is the most popular version of this quote by ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.  But I’ve always kind of liked the more literal translation, which is, “A journey of a thousand miles must begin where you stand.”  I find it so inspiring that wherever I want to go in life, I can start working towards that goal, right here, right now.  I just have to make the decision to do so.
