COLUMBUS, Ohio –A local woman says she was kicked off of welfare for not reporting that she was in a coma.

Kimberly Thompson was laid off earlier this year from her job at a warehouse in Central Ohio. She applied and was approved for food assistance and cash assistance. But then her life was turned upside down by a medical emergency.

Thompson spent two and a half months in the hospital last summer after an infection ravaged her body. During nearly half of her hospital stay, she was in a coma.    Continue reading “Columbus Woman Removed From Welfare For Not Reporting While In Coma”

Do you want to inspire your kids to be free and self-sufficient?  There’s nothing better than a good book to point them in the right direction.

My kids are total bookworms, so I enlisted their help to compile this list of favorites. Some folks may pooh-pooh the idea of fiction as  a teaching tool, but reading about a character who is smart, adaptable, self-reliant, and skilled can influence the way your child or teenager thinks.  These books are not all specific to kids in prepper families – many of them are just tales of kids who are put into situations in which they must rely on their wits and courage to survive, while others outline the dangers of too much government.   Continue reading “Our Top 20 Works of Fabulous Fiction to Inspire Self-Reliant, Liberty-Loving Children and Teens”

On the eastern edge of St. Joseph, Missouri, lies the small city’s only hospital, a landmark of brick and glass. Music from a player piano greets visitors at the main entrance, and inside, the bright hallways seem endless. Long known as Heartland Regional Medical Center, the nonprofit hospital and its system of clinics recently rebranded. Now they’re called Mosaic Life Care, because, their promotional materials say: “We offer much more than health care. We offer life care.”

Two miles away, at the rear of a low-slung building is a key piece of Mosaic—Heartland’s very own for-profit debt collection agency.   Continue reading “How Nonprofit Hospitals Are Seizing Patients’ Wages”

An estimated 500 million containers accounting for 90 per cent  of the world’s cargo are shipped around the world every year virtually uninspected, allowing consignments of narcotics, weapons and other illegal goods to enter countries undetected, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).*

UNODC has also informed that most containers carry licit goods, but some are being used to smuggle drugs, weapons, even people.   Continue reading “90% of World’s Cargo Shipped Every Year Uninspected, Allowing Narcotics, Weapons to Enter Countries Undetected.”

There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. 

Garet Garrett, “The Revolution Was”

“We are extremely concerned about recent developments in this country which have imposed new and dangerous burdens on our local police,”frets the “Statement of Principles” of the Support Your Local Police Committee (SYLP). “Harassment and outright attacks against the police, in many instances organized and controlled by subversives, criminals, and illegal aliens, have increased alarmingly. Court decisions have placed unreasonable restrictions on the forces of law and order, while freeing many criminals from prison and imposing only the mildest of sentences on others. And far too many politicians have bowed to the disruptive tactics and outright threats of organized pressure groups.”   Continue reading “Why “Support Your Local Police” is a Formula for Despotism”

Quite often i find uninformed bloggers, well-meaning patriotic Americans, and even the mainstream media drawing parallels between the political climate of Hitler’s Germany and that of the United States at present. ^{1 2 3} While there are similarities, the context in which those policies are rooted could not be more at odds; while Nazi Germany was a fascist, police-state dictatorship, similar to what the U.S. is descending toward today ^{4 5 6}, it is quite clear that the ideology driving the politics in Germany was intended to avoid the same sort of tyranny, corruption and moral erosion which the people of the U.S. and elsewhere find themselves battling today.   Continue reading “Gun Control and the Nazis – Setting the Record Straight”

NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Bill de Blasio was elected last year after making promises to keep crime low while improving relations between police and the community. As the tensions between those promises continue to mount, Friday showed just how tricky threading that needle has been.

In the morning, de Blasio met with leaders of the protests that have swept through New York City in the weeks after a grand jury declined to indict the police officer who placed Eric Garner in a fatal chokehold while trying to arrest him.   Continue reading “New York mayor caught between protests, police”

MIAMI (AP) — Hours before President Barack Obama announced an end to a half-century of U.S. efforts to isolate Cuba’s communist government, the Cuban American National Foundation opened the doors to its inviting new headquarters, with a modern glass and concrete lobby in the heart of Miami’s Cuban exile community.

The symbolism is hard to ignore: The lobbying group was founded in 1981 by veterans of covert U.S.-supported missions to overthrow Fidel and Raul Castro, and for many years it worked to undermine the communist government from offices in an unmarked Miami building outside Little Havana. A guard kept out unwelcome visitors, and its leader Jorge Mas Canosa tended to leave little room for differing opinions.   Continue reading “Obama’s Cuba switch forces exile groups to adapt”

BAGHDAD (AP) — Abu Murtada al-Moussawi answered the call last summer from Iraq’s top Shiite cleric to help save the country from the Islamic State group, but after less than three months on the front lines he and several friends returned home because they had run out of food.

“Sometimes, we didn’t have enough money to buy mobile scratch cards to call our families,” al-Moussawi, a Shiite from the southern city of Basra, said. “Everybody felt like we were being forgotten by the government.”   Continue reading “Iraq’s Shiite fighters desert over shortages”
