The incoming House Intelligence chairman believes the National Security Agency reforms the House passed earlier this year were largely unnecessary.

Where’s the the outrage? Another govt. crony hired by the NSA/DHS to keep spying & lying to the public just like James Clapper did!
Devin Nunes was selected to lead the House Intelligence Committee in the next Congress with the retirement of current chairman Mike Rogers. His position on a number of issues, including NSA reform, wink, wink.

A museum in Lynden, Wash. has decided to return 11 World World II-era rifles to their owners because of a state law passed earlier this month that requires background checks on gun transfers.

The Lynden Pioneer Museum will comply with the law, Initiative 594, rather than fight it, The Bellingham Herald reports.

The museum’s exhibit, “Over the Beach: The WWII Pacific Theater,” had the 11 rifles on display along with photographs and journals from the era as well as military vehicles and radios.   Continue reading “Museum Will Remove World War II-Era Rifles Because Of New State Law”

Three students were shot and wounded when a gunman opened fire inside a Florida university library early on Thursday, and campus police shot the suspect dead, officials said.

Officers confronted the attacker outside Florida State University’s Strozier Library soon after midnight, ordered him to drop his weapon, then shot him when he fired on them, police said.

“This person for whatever reason produced a handgun and then began shooting students in the library,” Florida State University Police Chief David Perry told reporters at a morning news conference.   Continue reading “Three students shot in Florida university library, gunman killed”

So just who in THE hell IS Jonathan Gruber anyway?

I mean…other than the guy who has exposed liberals, democrats and socialists as being stupid American voters. At least in that respect, Uber Gruber is spot on in his assessment but who IS this guy?

Well…he has a degree in economics from MIT…we know that much and…I’m reasonably sure if you ask ensconced and elected liberals he has explosive diarrhea of the mouth as it seems, he has a penchant for telling the TRUTH…at THE most Inappropriate of times…an anathema for any liberal.   Continue reading “Obamacare – Uber Truths About Utter Lies”

Years ago, an elderly, frail Japanese martial arts master once boasted a 200-0 record against his opponents.

He claimed to have a unique power that allowed him to inflict serious injury on people without actually laying a finger on them.

Was it Chi? Magic? None of the above. It was a total scam. But that didn’t matter.   Continue reading “Nine of the biggest myths that people believe about the system”

Revised History – by Al Benson Jr.

In case anyone hasn’t figured it out by now, let me say it as politely as I can and still keep it printable. The American citizens are being played for suckers by both political parties. The Republicans won the mid-term elections. So what? The Council on Foreign Relations/Trilateral Commission/Bilderberger triad is still in full control of both parties and with their One World Government agenda why should we actually think a Republican victory will make any real difference? Do we have any bold new leadership being chosen by Republicans for either the House or Senate? Hardly. We’ve got John Boehner–again, and he is sided by Mitch McConnell in the Senate. These guys have been in the political arena so long you can’t even classify them as retreads, and for the record, let’s not kid ourselves, neither one will do a blessed thing to help regain liberty for the American people. They will both play political parlor games with Comrade Obama and it will all continue to be cutesy poo as usual.   Continue reading “Amnesty And Checks And Balances – We are being had by both parties”

GOLDMAN SACHSSent to us by a reader.

Huffington Post – by Marcy Gordon

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three big Wall Street banks that have owned commodities such as aluminum exposed themselves to risk and in some cases manipulated prices in a way that raised costs for consumers, a Senate investigation has found.

The heavy involvement of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley in the business of storing and moving commodities like oil, aluminum, uranium and copper also gives them unfair trading advantages in financial markets, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.   Continue reading “Wall Street Banks Manipulated Commodity Prices At Consumers’ Expense, Senate Report Finds”

Android Central – by Chuong H Nguyen

The U.S. government is fighting back against new encryption technologies on smartphones made by Apple and those using Google’s latest version of Android. With a strongly worded argument, an official at the U.S. Department of Justice plainly stated that without access to a suspect’s phone, a child could die in cases such as kidnapping.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the tech giants and the DOJ are at a standoff on smartphone encryption:   Continue reading “Smartphone encryption could lead to death of a child, government claims”

The deal, which Australia called the best ever between Beijing and a Western country, will open up Chinese markets to Australian farm exporters and the services sector while easing curbs on Chinese investment in resource-rich Australia.   Continue reading “Australia, China deepen ties with landmark free trade deal”

While some of his Democratic colleagues joined with Republicans in pushing the Keystone XL pipeline, Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz had something different in mind. Today they unveiled the American Opportunity Carbon Fee Act.

Whitehouse, chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety, has long been an advocate for climate action. His official website features a page called “Climate Change: Time to Wake Up” and he has made 80 speeches in the Senate on the topic, giving one per week. In late October, he announced that he would propose a carbon pollution fee, with details to be introduced in the next few weeks. Today he revealed those details.   Continue reading “Carbon Fee Bill Introduced in the Senate”

“Would a … moat … water, six feet around, be kind of attractive and effective?” Cohen asked Joseph Clancy, the acting director of the Secret Service.   Continue reading “Secret Service: Moat around White House ‘may be’ effective”
