Beaver Countian – by John Henry

A vending machine operated by a candidate for Beaver County Sheriff that distributes firearms ammunition is raising some eyebrows. The machine is installed inside of the Beaver Valley Rifle & Pistol Club, offering both rifle and handgun ammunition and operating in the same fashion as vending machines commonly used to sell snack foods.

The Beaver Countian received several tips from members of the Beaver Valley Rifle & Pistol Club (BVRPC), located next to Brady’s Run Park in Brighton Township, who said they have concerns about the appropriateness of using a vending machine to sell firearms ammunition. This publication was provided with several photos taken of the machine by the members.   Continue reading “Handgun Ammunition Vending Machine Owned By A Candidate For County Sheriff Is Raising Eyebrows”

A three day pass for The Grateful Dead’s “Fare Thee Well” sold out reunion show in Chicago are being offered for as much as $116,000 on online ticket site, StubHub.

That price gets fans a spot on the general admission floor in front of the stage. But just to walk in the door will still cost upwards of $1,435— and that’s an obstructed view seat!   Continue reading “Grateful Dead tickets going for $116,000 on StubHub”

You may be a bad worker, bully colleagues and even watch porn at work, but if you have a job with the US federal government you won’t be fired. The civil service protection program helps errant employees keep their jobs at taxpayers’ expense.

According to a CBS report, while sloppy workers in the private sector would likely be fired for poor performance, bureaucracy in federal government is so powerful, employers are simply unable to sack staff who are lacking.    Continue reading “Fireproof! Report says US govt can’t sack bad employees, including porn-watchers”

Israel and the Zionist lobby in the United States have “raised the bar so high” in Iran nuclear negotiations to prevent a final deal from materializing and to ignite another war in the Middle East, an American professor says.

“Their strategy here is to raise the bar in the negotiations so high that Iran will not go for the deal,” said Kevin MacDonald, a professor of psychology at California State University in Long Beach.   Continue reading “Pro-Israel lobby in US ‘wants war with Iran, not nuclear deal’”

The Truth About the Law – by Legalman

ONWARD! The  incremental march to expand the Peoples’ freedoms by taking the rights away from the people continues everyday!  Rejoice Komrad and thank the Peoples’ great leaders!  Lol  

They have taken your “automatic” weapons. They have taken your right to own “military equipment”. They license and control virtually every type of weapon. Now they are going after the ammo. Obviously without ammo, a gun doesn’t do much good. Specifically they are thinking about banning the public from purchasing what are supposedly “dangerous” military “armor piercing” rounds of 223. Of course the government itself will still be able to buy it to use AGAINST the people if it “needs to”.   Continue reading “The Second Amendment has nothing to do with why the ATF cannot ban armor piercing 223 ammo. Nothing.”

The French and Indian War ended in 1763 with the French losing Canada and all their land east of the Mississippi River.

King George III decided to leave troops in the American colonies in case of future French incursions or native uprisings.

DENVER — Sheriffs from Colorado and neighboring states Kansas and Nebraska say in a lawsuit to be filed Thursday that Colorado’s marijuana law creates a “crisis of conscience” by pitting the state law against the Constitution and puts an economic burden on other states.

The lawsuit asks a federal court in Denver to strike down Colorado’s Amendment 64 that legalized the sale of recreational marijuana and to close the state’s more than 330 licensed marijuana stores.   Continue reading “Sheriffs sue Colorado over legal marijuana”

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s brother, Tony Rodham, sat on the board of a self-described mining company that in 2012 received one of only two “gold exploitation permits” from the Haitian government—the first issued in over 50 years.

The tiny North Carolina company, VCS Mining, also included on its board Bill Clinton’s co-chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC), former Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.   Continue reading “Gold Mine: Hillary Clinton’s Brother Granted Super-Rare Mining Permit From Haiti After State Dept.

Unearthed articles from the 1960s detail how nuclear waste was buried beneath the Earth’s surface by Halliburton & Co. for decades as a means of disposing the by-products of post-World War II atomic energy production.

Fracking is already a controversial practice on its face; allowing U.S. industries to inject slurries of toxic, potentially carcinogenic compounds deep beneath the planet’s surface — as a means of “see no evil” waste disposal — already sounds ridiculous, dangerous, and stupid anyway without even going into further detail.   Continue reading “Shock: Fracking Used to Inject Nuclear Waste Underground for Decades”

Land Destroyer Report – by Tony Cartalucci

March 2, 2015 (Tony Cartalucci – LD) – In a 2009 US policy paper published by the corporate-financier funded Brookings Institution, it was made clear that the US was determined to provoke Iran into a conflict and effect regime change at any cost – up to and including an outright military invasion and occupation of Iran with US troops.

However, before it came to that, the Brookings Institution’s policymakers explored other options including fomenting US-backed political unrest coupled with covert, violent force, the use of US State Department listed foreign terrorist organizations to carry out assassinations and attacks within Iran, and limited airstrikes carried out by either the US or Israel, or both.   Continue reading “Obama-Netanyahu “Fallout” is Theater – Planned in 2009″
