The Atlantic – by JAMES HAMBLIN

In 1950, there were 2.5 billion humans. Today there are just over 7 billion. In another 30 years, according to U.S. Census Bureau projections, there will be more than 9 billion.

Brad Lyon has a doctoral degree in mathematics and does software development. He wanted to make those numbers visual. Last year he and designer Bill Snebold made a hugely popular interactive simulation map of births and deaths in the U.S. alone—the population of which is on pace to increase 44 percent by 2050. Now, Lyon takes on the world.   Continue reading “A Real-Time Map of Births and Deaths”

New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s move to stymie smoking among young New Yorkers moved one step closer to realization Wednesday when the City Council voted overwhelmingly to bump the tobacco-purchasing age from 18 to 21.

“We know that tobacco dependence can begin very soon after a young person first tries smoking, so it’s critical that we stop young people from smoking before they ever start,” Bloomberg said in a statement.   Continue reading “Young Smokers Top NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s List of Dislikes”

Mark Levin played a segment from Jake Tapper’s show on how the Obama administration is putting intense pressure on the health care insurance CEO’s to keep quiet about the problems with Obamacare. Levin said this report should be everywhere because this is the kind of thing that happens in banana republics and communist and fascist regimes.   Continue reading ““Mobsters in the White House!” – Mark Levin SLAMS Obama admin as acting like a communist, fascist regime”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

If you believe that there is high inflation in the United States, you are just imagining things.  That is the message that the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve would have us to believe.  You might have noticed that the government announced on Wednesday that the cost of living increase for Social Security beneficiaries will only be 1.5 percent next year.  This is one of the smallest cost of living increases that we have ever seen.  The federal government is able to get away with this because the official numbers say that there is hardly any inflation in the U.S. right now.    Continue reading “Don’t Worry – The Government Says That The Inflation You See Is Just Your Imagination”

GREENWOOD, S.C. (AP) — Facing problems with the law and in his personal life, 27-year-old Bryan Sweatt called a police dispatcher to vent. When she asked him what was wrong, he replied he was “stressed out” and about to kill himself.

With a woman’s voice crying in the background, the dispatcher asked if he had a gun. His reply: “a 44.” Then the phone line went dead. The chilling call was the first clue that something had gone terribly wrong inside a one-story rural home in this tight-knit community of 23,000 people where six people, including Sweatt, were found shot to death.   Continue reading “911 recording captures minutes before 6 shot dead”

There are numerous alarming reasons why the US government and the military have been buying up all the ammo. Here’s one of them. Obama and the EPA just shut down the last lead smelting plant in the US. They raised the EPA regulations by 10 fold and it would have cost the plant $100 million to comply. You can own all the guns you want, but if you can’t get ammo, you are out of luck.   Continue reading “Have we had an endrun around the 2nd amendment?”

LAS VEGAS —-(Ammoland.com)- Hutchison & Steffen, one of the largest law firms in the State of Nevada, has expanded its trust and probate litigation department to include a range of firearms trusts services.

Firearms trusts allow for certain protections under the law to ensure that, upon death, one’s firearms remain accessible to future generations. With a growing climate of anti-gun sentiment and a flurry of legislative activity underway in states across the country, a firearms trust is a layer of protection for one’s Second Amendment rights.   Continue reading “Nevada’s Hutchison & Steffen Law Firm Expands ‘Gun Trust’ Department”

The feds have threatened to criminally prosecute a novelty store owner who sells products—such as “Department of Homeland Stupidity” coffee mugs—making fun of the U.S. government. Could this be a matter of national security, or that Uncle Sam simply lacks a sense of humor?

To poke fun at the National Security Administration (NSA) the merchant, Dan McCall, sells T-shirts with the agency’s official seal that read: “The NSA: The only part of government that actually listens.” Other parodies say “spying on you since 1952” and “peeping while you’re sleeping.” The designs may seem funny—and possibly represent reality—but to the government it’s no laughing matter. In fact, it’s a serious issue worthy of an investigation and legal action.   Continue reading “U.S. Bullies Man over “Department of Homeland Stupidity” Mugs”
