Infowars – by Paul Joseph Watson

de leon2The Daily Sheeple – by Kimberly Paxton

California State Senator Kevin de Leon made a dramatic presentation during a press conference the other day, displaying an AR-15 that was carefully zip-tied to highlight its “deadly nature”.

Judging from de Leon’s speech, it’s probably a good thing it was mercifully disabled, for the safety of both de Leon and his hapless audience. He would probably be well-advised not to handle any type of firearm more deadly than a Nerf gun.   Continue reading “Sh*t Liberals Say: Gun Advice from Someone Who Doesn’t Know the Difference Between a Magazine and a Clip”

Do you ever have one of those days when you’re reading the news, and you have an epiphany?

This morning I realized, looking over the day’s information, we don’t need to be depopulated. No dramatic measures need to be taken. People are dumb enough to do it all on their own. Darwin was right – they’ll just weed themselves out.   Continue reading “The Morning News: Proving Darwin Right, One Story at a Time”

Mason Proffit, 1969The First Gates

In the late sixties, Terry Talbot and his younger brother John began playing music in Chicago.  A friend and local record producer suggested they do what they were best at, an amplified country rock sound, as influenced by The Byrds.  The brothers formed a band, Mason Proffit, and released their first album in 1969.  Terry was 21 and John, who had dropped out of school to play music, was 15.

Over the next four years, Mason Proffit played as many as 300 shows a year and released five albums.  Once, while they jammed with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Earl Scruggs called John Talbot “the best banjo player I’ve ever heard.”  The Eagles credited Mason Proffit with some of the inspiration for “Hotel California.”   Continue reading “Mason Proffit”

Ideas, Inventions, and Innovations – by Alton Parrish

The alien world of aquatic micro-organisms just got new residents: synthetic self-propelled swimming bio-bots.

A team of engineers has developed a class of tiny bio-hybrid machines that swim like sperm, the first synthetic structures that can traverse the viscous fluids of biological environments on their own. Led by Taher Saif, the University of Illinois Gutgsell Professor of mechanical science and engineering, the team published its work in the journal Nature Communications.   Continue reading “Synthetic Self-Propelled Swimming Micro-Bio-Bots”
