MAJ XXX’s Top 10 Road Marching Tips Plus 1

1. Powder your piggies. Your feet will sweat profusely during a road march. Damp feet blister easily. The best way to keep your feet comfortable and avoid excess blistering is to powder your feet before you start. Use Gold Bond, talc, corn starch, or any brand of commercial baby powder. Sprinkle powder on your bare feet, then put your socks on. Put a light coat of powder on the outside of your socks, and then dust the inside of your boots with a little more powder. Remember, lightly coat everything with powder – don’t dump the powder in big globs. If you do, those big globs will become big wet globs when your feet sweat and you’ll be road marching with a boot full of biscuit dough.    Continue reading “The Weapons Platform: Major XXX’s Ruck Marching Tips”

NOTE: This is the fourth in a series of articles covering basic constitutional principles

So far in the Constitution 101 series, we’ve established that the Constitution created a limited federal government meant to exercise only specific, enumerated powers. All other authority remains with the states and the people. We also discussed the fact that the people stand as the sovereign in the system, and the Constitution was ratified by the people, through preexisting political societies – the states.   Continue reading “Introduction to Nullification”

A seven hour standoff between a SWAT team in Hayward, California–and what was eventually determined to be an empty residence–ended, when authorities realized the individual they thought may have sent a series of “suspicious notes” was not actually home.

The bomb squad, including snipers and their bomb-sniffing K9s, were called out after deputies from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office discovered a series of incendiary notes which indicated there were explosives inside of the home they were attempting to deliver eviction notices to, according to a report by KTVU. The events began around 10 am and ended at 5:30 pm on Tuesday evening.   Continue reading “SWAT Team Ends 7-Hour Standoff after Realizing Nobody was Home”

The Daily Sheeple – by Joshua Krause

During the 1990′s the growth of the militia movement surged at the heels of several national events. The Cold War had finally ended, but suspiciously, the United States’ global military apparatus did not shrink away. Domestically, the police state we know and love today began to assert itself. It could be argued that this new force in American affairs manifested in the events that transpired at Waco and Ruby Ridge. Suddenly the American public came face to face with the true nature of their government in a very publicized and horrifying way. Most people talked about it, and promptly went on with their daily lives as usual. As for the rest, that tiny vocal minority…they joined militias.   Continue reading “America’s Militia Movement is Back From the Dead”

Wendy’s Co., the third-biggest U.S. fast-food hamburger chain, is leaving the Russian market after three years, after a change in the local franchisee’s management.

The country’s eight Wendy’s outlets are being shut down, Bob Bertini, a spokesman for Dublin, Ohio-based Wendy’s said by e-mail. Wenrus Restaurant Group, a former unit of Moscow-based Food Service Capital, agreed in 2010 to open 180 restaurants under the format across Russia within a decade. There was a change in Wenrus’s ownership and management in the past year, and the decision to leave the country had nothing to do with politics, Bertini said.   Continue reading “Wendy’s Pulls Out of Russia After Franchisee Change”

MEXICO CITY (AP) — California Gov. Jerry Brown said Tuesday his state is willing to shelter more migrant children from Central America if needed but reiterated that the United States needs to find a long-term solution to the immigration crisis.

“I would do everything I could to make sure California will do its part to shelter any young children that are in need of protection,” Brown said after meeting with more than a dozen Central American religious leaders and Los Angeles Catholic Archbishop Jose Horacio Gomez in Mexico to discuss the surge of unaccompanied Central American youth and families illegally crossing into the United States.   Continue reading “Brown: California willing to shelter more migrants”

The United States issued a firm condemnation of the shelling of a United Nations school in Gaza that killed at least 16 Palestinians on Wednesday, but also confirmed it restocked Israel’s dwindling supplies of ammunition.

The White House expressed concern that thousands of civilians who had sought protection from the UN were at risk after the shelling of the girls’ elementary school. Some 3,300 civilians were taking shelter there, after being told by Israel to leave their homes.   Continue reading “US condemns shelling of UN school in Gaza but restocks Israeli ammunition”

President Obama has always had a fondness for illegal immigrants. He is seemingly oblivious to the negative effects they have on our economy and our workforce, not to mention the drug cartels and gangs that illegal immigration brings into our country. He would rather spend millions on amnesty programs than defend our border.

While Americans in border states cry out for federal assistance, it looks like individual state militias are going to have to handle the problem on their own. All the federal government is interested in is shipping thousands of these immigrants to towns in the rest of the country and housing and feeding them on the American taxpayer’s dime.   Continue reading “State Officials: Obama is Hiding Locations of Illegal Immigrants”

A game warden hit in the head with a rock while trying to seize a raft. Police officers wounded in an hours-long standoff with a gang member wanted for murder. Criminals spewing obscenities and death threats at local cops before asking for – and receiving – medical treatment.

And that was just last week.

A weekly report distributed by a Texas state agency to senior law enforcement officials paints a grim picture of the Mexican border, where authorities regularly confront illegal immigrant gang members and draw automatic gunfire from across the Rio Grande, and where local, state and federal authorities fight a never-ending battle against drug smugglers.   Continue reading “Report reveals ‘disturbing trend’ of brazen attacks against border security by gangs, drug and human traffickers”

Guns Save Lives – by Dan Cannon

Anti-gunners and Democrats in general seem pretty obsessed with this whole war on women thing. Now Giffords is bringing guns into the “War on Women”.

In a recent editorial on CNN.com, Giffords, along with co-writer Katie Ray-Jones, wrote the following,

In our country, it’s a sadly common story: An abuser or stalker gains access to guns and destroys the lives of women and families in our communities. Continue reading “Gabby Giffords Blames Guns for Domestic Violence on Women”

Monrovia – Following the government of Liberia’s declaration of a national health emergency in the face of the deadly Ebola outbreak that has killed close to 130 Liberians and an entire government ministry at risk because of an employee that died of the deadly disease in Nigeria, there have been reports of dead bodies lying around with no effort by the ministry of health to remove them.

Over the lake that divides the police academy road from the rest of the SKD Boulevard community two objects in the shape of body bags white in color were afloat. Residents and motorists were concerned about the floating object, but all efforts made to contact the health ministry to confirm what the object actually is proved futile as no health response team showed up to remove the object that looked like the body bag in which Ebola victims are buried.   Continue reading “Health Ministry Failing to Pick up Abandoned Dead Bodies”

Bolivia has declared Israel to be a “terrorist state” and renounced a visa exemption agreement with the country in protest over the ongoing Israeli military offense in Gaza which already killed more than 1,300 dead and left over 7,000 wounded.

LIVE UPDATES: Israel launches ground incursion in Gaza Strip

Canceling the 1972 agreement which allowed Israelis to travel freely to Bolivia “means, in other words, we are declaring (Israel) a terrorist state,” the country’s President Evo Morales announced.   Continue reading “Bolivia declares Israel ‘terrorist state’, scraps visa exemption agreement”

Prevent Disease – by Marco Torres

Do you ever question what doctors, nutritionists, institutions and even science tells you about your health, food, environment and lifestyle? You should, because we live in an era of deception and duplicity where the most trusted and valued sources of information are hijacked by much bigger interests than you can imagine. The internet is one of the last frontiers for truth, informing and educating billions on why our systems of health, agriculture, medicine and many other areas we depend on are failing us. The reason they’re failing us is because corrupt governments, corporations and the media are constantly feeding us lies on a daily basis, which through repetition, the public eventually accepts as truth.    Continue reading “The Top 15 Lies You’re Being Told About Health and Mainstream Medicine”

Let’s face facts. The Obama administration is the most lawless President in our lifetime. Barrack Obama has broken the contract with the state by refusing to protect the states from invasion under Article 4 section 4 of the US Constitution. Congress refuses to act to reign in this President over stepping his constitutional authority. There is no help coming from Washington DC.

Here is what state governors can do to protect their states from this invasion or possibly stop it:   Continue reading “9 Ways State Governors can Push Back Against Obama’s invasion and Federal Overreach”

There’s worrisome news here in the southeastern U.S., buried in a journal that is favorite reading only for superbug geeks like me. The rate at which hospitals are recognizing cases of CRE — the form of antibiotic resistance that is so serious the CDC dubbed it a “nightmare” — rose five times over between 2008 and 2012.   Continue reading “Resistant ‘Nightmare Bacteria’ Increase Fivefold in Southeastern U.S.”
