As everyone knows, ammunition is in short supply these days and what little that makes it’s way to store shelves is becoming somewhat cost prohibitive. This is consequently putting a damper on many folks training time. Here are some ways to take advantage of the situation and explore some new training options….

Work on your movement skills.   Continue reading “Running Low on Training Ammo? Here’s the fix…”

Thousands of gallons of oil have spilled from a pipeline in Texas, the third accident of its kind in only a week.

Shell Pipeline, a unit of Royal Dutch Shell Plc, shut down their West Columbia, Texas, pipeline last Friday after electronic calculations conducted by the US National Response Center showed that upwards of 700 barrels had been lost, amounting to almost 30,000 gallons of crude oil.   Continue reading “Third major oil spill in a week: Shell pipeline breaks in Texas”

A new ACLU report accuses Ohio courts of imprisoning people who are unable to pay court fees. The group, which claims to have found evidence in seven counties, likened the practice to a resurgence of debtor’s prisons – which were outlawed by the 1830s.

Entitled “The Outskirts of Hope,” the report also accuses Ohio judges of consistently denying those locked up in such circumstances court hearings to prove their financial status.   Continue reading “ACLU catches Ohio jailing those too poor to pay fines”

What does spring taste like?

Fresh asparagus dripping with butter.  Small, sweet early strawberries.  Tender, delicate baby lettuce.  Sweet cobbler offset by tart, tangy rhubarb.  Fresh  dainty peas blanched for just a few seconds so that they burst in your mouth.   Continue reading “The Reasons for (Eating by) the Seasons”

It was reported in the mainstream about this time last year that we were seeing an exodus of illegal aliens leaving the United States because of our bad jobs market.  We called this fraud a fraud and countered that as amnesty was being pushed at every level and as the US safety net is open to any and every illegal, quite the opposite would have to be the reality.  And now we are finding out that we were absolutely correct in our deduction.

It was recently reported that only 3% of those attempting to invade across our southern border are even being acknowledged as the multitudes continue to swarm in.  The fact is the numbers coming in from the south are escalating as new guarantees for amnesty are being put forth by the traitors in both the false left and false right of the false paradigm.   Continue reading “How many illegal foreigners are there actually in the United States?”

The sleazy little communist parasite, Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy, was talking with Candy Crowley yesterday on CNN.  All one needs to do is watch this guy for about 5 minutes to be put on communist overload.  The sleazy little twit actually had the nerve to put forth the bald faced lie that incidents of gun violence are more predominant in the states with the most lax gun laws.  This pathetic little bastard has zero scruples and no problem with telling a lie, especially when he knows it is a lie.

The sleazy little spineless worm put forth the question, “Tell me why I can’t get on a plane without someone doing a background check, but I can walk into stores or to gun shows in the United States and no background check is done.  It doesn’t make any sense.”   Continue reading “Dan Malloy tells Connecticut Gun Manufacturers to go to Hell”

Contraction: The ultra-Orthodox practice of metzitzah b'peh requires a practitioner to orally suck the baby's penis to 'cleanse' the open wound following its circumcision, making them susceptible to the virus (file photo)Daily Mail – by NINA GOLGOWSKI

Two more infants have been infected with a deadly herpes virus in the last three months after undergoing a controversial religious oral circumcision in New York City.

The latest cases bring the count to 13 infants since 2000, two of which suffered brain damage and two died from the virus which can rapidly spread throughout its body.   Continue reading “Two more babies stricken with herpes after ritual ultra-orthodox Jewish oral blood sucking circumcision in New York City”

Do you hate paying taxes? Are you fighting foreclosure? Do you feel like no one should be allowed to commit violence against you and don’t always blindly follow the commands of the authorities? Do you film encounters with police or believe gold makes better currency than Federal Reserve Notes? Well you might be part of a domestic terrorism movement and not even know it.

On Friday, the Los Angeles Times posted an article attempting to define a domestic terrorist movement consisting of as many as 300,000 Americans. Some are even labeled as non-violent “paper terrorists”.    Continue reading “Feds Identify 300,000 Americans as Terrorists”

A common feature of authoritarian regimes is the criminalization of alternatives to government-controlled education. Dictators recognize the danger that free thought poses to their rule, and few things promote the thinking of “unapproved” thoughts like an education controlled by parents instead of the state. That is why the National Socialist (Nazi) government of Germany outlawed homeschooling in 1938.

Sadly, these Nazi-era restrictions on parental rights remain the law in Germany, leaving parents who wish greater control over their children’s education without options. That is why in 2006 Uwe and Hannalore Romeike, a German couple who wanted to homeschool their three children for religious reasons, sought asylum in the United States. Immigration judge Lawrence Burman upheld their application for asylum, recognizing that the freedom of parents to homeschool was a “basic human right.”   Continue reading “Homeschooling: The Future of Liberty”

All Over America Evangelical Christians Are Being Labeled As Extremists And Hate GroupsEnd of the American Dream – by Michael

Are evangelical Christians rapidly becoming one of the most hated minorities in America?  Once upon a time such a notion would have been unthinkable, but these days things are changing dramatically.  All over the United States, evangelical Christians are being called “extremists” and evangelical Christian organizations are being labeled as “hate groups”.

In fact, as I will detail later on in this article, a U.S. Army Reserve training presentation recently specifically identified evangelical Christians as “religious extremists”.  This should be extremely chilling for all evangelical Christians out there, because as history has shown us over and over again, when you want to persecute a particular group of people the first step is always to demonize them.  And that is exactly what is being done to evangelical Christians today.    Continue reading “All Over America Evangelical Christians Are Being Labeled As “Extremists” And “Hate Groups””

Last month, Boston Dynamics posted a video update of its AlphaDog robot, developed to carry heavy military equipment for soldiers. The company had already released video showing AlphaDog traversing rough terrain and gaining significant speed.

But the March video shows something different: The robot now has a mechanical arm attached to the front. This arm picks up a cinder block, which likely weighs about 30 pounds, and begins to move its feet rapidly up and down. It perches low, swings the arm to its left and then hurls the cinder block some 20 feet over its right shoulder, just as a decathlete would throw a hammer.   Continue reading “Rise of the Killer Robots: Hint–This is Not a Movie”

Nek Muhammad knew he was being followed.

On a hot day in June 2004, the Pashtun tribesman was lounging inside a mud compound in South Waziristan, speaking by satellite phone to one of the many reporters who regularly interviewed him on how he had fought and humbled Pakistan’s army in the country’s western mountains. He asked one of his followers about the strange, metallic bird hovering above him.   Continue reading “A Secret Deal on Drones, Sealed in Blood”

At a time when the Obama administration and the petroleum industry are advocating for expanding domestic oil production, it is worth pointing out that the nation’s largest refinery is not American owned.

The Motiva oil refinery, located in Port Arthur, Texas, is controlled by Royal Dutch Shell and Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in Saudi Arabia and in the world.   Continue reading “Largest Oil Refinery in U.S. is Owned by Saudi Royal Family and Anglo-Dutch”

ONTARIO — Ammunition was the hot item Saturday as gun enthusiasts from around Southern California converged on the Ontario Convention Center for the first day of the two-day Crossroads of the West Gun Show.

The Ontario Convention Center was busy with some people arriving and others leaving with such purchases as walking sticks to firearms cases. But of all the items available, ammo was at the top of many shopping lists.   Continue reading “Lines for ammo long at Crossroads of the West Gun Show in Ontario”

As politicians exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote new laws to restrict firearms and implement universal background checks that could lead to gun registration and confiscation, another parallel trend– namely, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal involvement or authorization – is heightening concerns that America is moving toward a police state.   Continue reading “The Growing Militarization of U.S. Police”

North Korea has just released a bizarre new military propaganda video, including a sequence of military dogs where it appears that the dogs are attacking an effigy of George W. Bush. However, it turns out that the effigy attacked was one of South Korean Defence Minister Kim Kwan-Jin.   Continue reading “N.

Kim Jong-Un is eagerly awaiting a phone call from Barack Obama, hoping that a one on one chat will ease the brewing tensions between the two nations and, quite possibly, to arrange a one on one game of hoops? I’d put my money on Kim after watching Obama’s latest shoot around. If you haven’t seen that yet, check out the videos down below for your ‘comedic relief’. We also learn that Kim has 8 nuclear warheads; hopefully they’re not all mounted on a satellite in space and aimed at America. According to Russian news agency Itar-Tass,    Continue reading “N.
