The Tulsa, Oklahoma, sheriff’s deputy who shot and killed a suspected black market gun dealer reportedly did it unintentionally.

In a statement released by the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office on Friday, the reserve sheriff’s deputy “inadvertently” fired his weapon instead of grabbing his taser.

The shooting of ex-convict Eric Harris, 44, took place Friday outside a Dollar General Store during an undercover sting by sheriff deputies in a controlled buy of weapons and ammunition.   Continue reading “Deputy Accidentally Grabs Gun Instead Of Taser, Shoots Suspect”

The Pentagon has upgraded and tested the largest bunker-buster bomb in the US, powerful enough to disable Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear facilities in case of failure to reach a nuclear deal, a senior US official told the Wall Street Journal.

“The Pentagon continues to be focused on being able to provide military options for Iran if needed,” an unnamed senior US official has been quoted as saying. “We have not taken our eyes off the ball.”    Continue reading “Pentagon upgrades biggest ‘bunker buster’ bomb in case Iran talks fail – report”

BAGHDAD (AP) — Islamic State extremists at Iraq’s ancient city of Hatra destroyed the archaeological site by smashing sledgehammers into its walls and shooting Kalashnikov assault rifles at priceless statues, a new militant video purportedly from the group shows.

Militants attacked Hatra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, last month, officials and local residents said, though the extent of the damage remains unclear as it is in territory still controlled by the Islamic State group.   Continue reading “Islamic State group shot, hammered away Iraq’s Hatra”

NEW YORK (AP) — Two women accused in New York City’s latest homegrown terrorism case may be part of what some experts say is an evolving threat — a greater willingness by women to shed blood in the name of militant Islamic jihad.

The pair allegedly wanted to “make history” on their own by building a bomb and attacking a domestic target. Just a day after the New York pair was arrested, a Philadelphia woman was accused of expressing her willingness to die as a martyr for the Islamic State group.   Continue reading “Terror cases allege women wanted to fight, not wed fighters”

Christians are not the only ones looking for meaning in the plethora of signs aligning in the heavens.

A rare alignment of four blood moons and a total solar eclipse unfolding during a Shemitah year and on biblical feast days, has a Jewish rabbi in Israel asking for special prayer.

And issuing an ominous warning.   Continue reading “‘Mystic’ rabbi issues ominous warning on eve of blood moon”

The visual feast of a well-rounded garden is truly a remarkable sight.

Nurturing a garden until it bursts with tantalizing juicy vegetables is one of life’s greatest pleasures. It’s your reward for a great deal of hard work.

To reach that point, though, requires some planning. Once you choose the right location for your garden, the next step is to decide what you want to plant.   Continue reading “How to Create a Delightful, Magnificent Garden”

The Department of Homeland Security is seeking bids from companies able to provide law enforcement officials with access to a national license-plate tracking system — a year after canceling a similar solicitation over privacy issues.

The reversal comes after officials said they had determined they could address concerns raised by civil liberties advocates and lawmakers about the prospect of the department’s gaining widespread access, without warrants, to a system that holds billions of records that reveal drivers’ whereabouts. Continue reading “A year after firestorm, DHS wants access to license-plate tracking system”

The evolution of “non-lethal” weapons has been disturbing enough (and actually lethal in many cases), but speculation that this developing arsenal would be attached to drones has generally been met with accusations of fear-mongering.

However, the recent announcement that India (a constitutional republic) has now green-lighted drones for controlling “unruly crowds” in its northern capital Lucknow should get any skeptic’s attention. Incidentally, even among highly populated India, the Uttar Pradesh region is a populous area of 204 million people, putting it into the range of most of the United States.      Continue reading “India Becomes First Country to Approve Weaponized Drones For Crowd Control”

Our modern society is highly dependent upon the “system.” Not only do we rely upon utility services to bring us electricity, water and natural gas, but also on an incredibly complex supply chain which provides us with everything from food to computers. Without that supply chain, most of us wouldn’t know what to do.

This situation is actually becoming worse, rather than better. When I compare my generation (I’m in my 50s) to that of my children, I see some striking differences. In my generation it was normal for a boy to grow up learning how to do a wide variety of trade skills from his father, and seemingly everyone knew how to do basic carpentry and mechanic work. But that’s no longer normal.   Continue reading “8 Survival Skills Your Great-Grandparents Knew (That Most Of Us Have Forgotten)”

Many remember Harry Reid‘s “so called” major accident with exercise equipment on 01/01/2015 at his home in Nevada which sent him to the hospital with substantial injuries to his eye, face, and ribs. The official story is Reid was using a rubber exercise band, which snapped, hitting him hard and causing him to fall into cabinets before hitting the floor.

I happened to be the first to question Reid’s accident with exercise equipment in the beginning of March 2015, citing that his injuries were not consistent with this type of equipment failure and that he appeared to have been beaten up.   Continue reading “Harry Reid Accident with Exercise Equipment a Cover for Corruption Involving Mafia and Robert Menendez Indictment”

Shocking new revelations demonstrate once again that, if you think your money is safe in the bank, you need to think again.  Coming on the heels of a recent New York Times report that the nation’s biggest banks have willingly turned bank accounts over to the IRS for total confiscation, the Wall Street Journal now reports that banks are working with the Department of Justice to turn customer bank accounts over to the police for seizure!  It’s all done in secrecy, often initiated by the bankers. Tragically, bank account holders don’t even know they’re being targeted until after the money is seized from their accounts.  Continue reading “Banks Turning Accounts over to Police for Seizure”

Two days ago, an ad appeared on Austin, TexasCraigslist soliciting crisis actors (“role players”) at $10.10/hr. for a National Guard Training Exercise for Emergency Preparedness taking place in Govalle, Texas on April 22, 2015.

The ad was placed by an outfit called IIF Data Solutions.

Here’s a screenshot I took of the ad on austin.craigslist.org in case it gets scrubbed. The screenshot shows the date and time (bottom right) when I took the screen shot: 4/2/2015 at 2:25 PM.   Continue reading “Austin Craigslist solicits crisis actors for emergency training exercise”

Judge Andrew Hanen is the Texas judge who has stood in the way of Barack Obama’s illegal executive amnesty, even going so far as to threaten Obama’s Justice Department with perjury, which would have provided many of his donors with cheap labor and was an obvious violation of the law. As a result of his actions, Americans have benefited from increased wages. However, the attorney that first filed an amnesty challenge before Judge Hanen has now submitted 150 pages of documented evidence concerning Obama’s fraudulent Social Security number before the judge.   Continue reading “Obama’s Social Security Number Fraud Evidence Goes to Judge Who Blocked Illegal Amnesty”
