JOPLIN, MISSOURI — An attempted burglary of a residence happened early Monday morning, but the four burglars got more than they bargained for when a house guest staying at the home was armed — and not afraid to defend themselves.

“It was an invited guest who acted in self-defense,” police Capt. Bob Higginbotham told The Joplin Globe Tuesday. “I still can’t relinquish that person’s name. But they are considered a victim (in the home invasion).”

NEW YORK –  The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approved redefining marriage in the church constitution Tuesday to include a “commitment between two people,” becoming the largest Protestant group to formally recognize gay marriage as Christian and allow same-sex weddings in every congregation.

The new definition was endorsed last year by the church General Assembly, or top legislative body, but required approval from a majority of the denomination’s 171 regional districts, or presbyteries. The critical 86th “yes” vote came Tuesday night from the Presbytery of the Palisades in New Jersey.   Continue reading “Shock As Presbyterian Church Formally Approves Gay Marriage In Church Constitution”

“This gap between the 1% and the rest of America, and between the US and the rest of the world, cannot and will not persist,” warns renowned trader Paul Tudor Jones during his recent TED Talks speech, as he addressed the question – can capital be just? Hoping to expand the “narrow definitions of capitalism,” that threaten the underpinnings of society, Tudor Jones exclaims, “we’re in the middle of a disastrous market mania,” adding “one of worst of my life.” Perhaps most ominously, he concludes, historically this ends “by revolution, higher taxes or wars. None are on my bucket list.”   Continue reading “Paul Tudor Jones Warns This “Disastrous Market Mania” Will End “By Revolution, Taxes, Or War””

Yes, the Glock G43 subcompact single-stack pistol is real.

… a Glock. It handled well, the controls were familiar and it went bang every time we pulled the trigger.

There has been considerable demand for this gun, given Glock’s loyal customer base and the arrival of several competing brands into the market niche for flat subcompacts in 9mm. This is primarily due to both the burgeoning concealed-carry market and the re-ascendancy of the 9mm, thanks to high-performance bullet designs from major ammunition manufacturers. Despite the presence of numerous other makes in the market segment, the Smyrna, GA-made G43 has consumers eagerly waiting for it.   Continue reading “It’s real – Glock Model G43 Single-Stack 9mm”

We had been noting, in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in France, how the country that then held a giant “free speech” rally appeared to be, instead, focusing on cracking down on free speech at every opportunity. And target number one: the internet. Earlier this week, the Interior Minister of France — with no court review or adversarial process — ordered five websites to not only be blocked in France, but that anyone who visits any of the sites get redirected to a scary looking government website, saying:   Continue reading “French Government Starts Blocking Websites With Views The Gov’t Doesn’t Like”

Some rice farmers in Northern California are skipping planting their crop this year and choosing instead to sell their water rights to Southern California. The Metropolitan Water District is desperately searching for water to add to its low supply.

The price is double what the Metropolitan Water District, which provides water from Los Angeles to San Diego County, paid five years ago as the state goes through its fourth year of serious drought.   Continue reading “North California farmers ditching crops to sell water to south”

PHOENIX, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- The lamestream media told you:

WASHINGTON – The Food and Drug Administration announced sweeping rules on Tuesday that will require chain restaurants, movie theaters and pizza parlors across the country to post calorie counts on their menus. Health experts said the new requirements would help combat the country’s obesity epidemic by showing Americans just how many calories lurk in their favorite foods.

Hardly. If it is, it is NOT for US.

This place is out in the middle of nowhere on the Nevada test range. It appears to be somewhat new and has four tennis courts, a football field with track and two baseball diamonds. It looks to hold about 1000 to 1500 people maybe more. It has a perimeter fence around it and is about 30 miles from any highway to the north or west.

I’m sure we could come up with a lot of ideas of what it will be used for but being on the northern edge of the Tonopah test range there could be a bunch of reasons.

Thought I would share this as WE paid for it and have no idea why.
