Freedom Outpost – by The Common Constitutionalist

Anyone who has ever played a sport, or even attended a game, understands how important having a home field advantage is. For example, my New England Patriots are virtually unbeatable at home. In fact, most teams fare better at home. The players don’t have to interrupt their normal routines and can sleep in their own beds, etc.

But it is the fans which really seem to make the biggest difference. There is nothing more energizing to a player than to have tens of thousands of screaming fans on your side – and against the visitors. Just ask the Seattle Seahawks, who fare virtually as well as the Patriots in their home stadium. Seattle has even coined the phrase, “The Twelve Man,” to pay homage to their fan-base.   Continue reading “Mexican Team Gets Home Field Advantage in America”

The last thing Hillary Clinton needs a day before the California primary is a stark reminer of the “clan’s” tendency for mischief outside of the White House. Which is why the latest news that Roger Clinton, Bill’s brother, has been arrested – and in Southern California at that – for drunk driving, may have come at the worst possible moment for the Democratic presidential candidate, for whom winning the Golden State is a matter of urgency.

According to The Hill, Clinton, former President Bill Clinton’s brother and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton’s brother-in-law, was arrested late Sunday for a DUI, according to TMZ, two days before California’s critical primary.   Continue reading “Bill Clinton’s Brother Arrested For Drunk Driving In California”

Few Americans who pay attention will forget Barack Obama’s 2009 address to a joint session of Congress as he vowed Obamacare would not be extended to illegal aliens. U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) was not taken in by the slick promises, and shouted “You lie!” to which Obama replied, “That’s not true.”

It turns out Rep. Joe Wilson’s impulsive interruption carried more integrity and truth than Obama’s hollow words.   Continue reading “Calif. poised to extend Obamacare to illegals”

It really seems as though issues with municipal water supplies are occurring more frequently. More than 100,000 residents have been told that they can’t drink or cook with the contaminated tap water in Alabama by the West Morgan-East Lawrence Water Authority…but this isn’t just a week-long clean-up.  The restriction is expected to last until September.

The issue is synthetic chemicals that have the potential to cause cancer, birth defects, and developmental delays in children.  Traces of PFOS (Perfluorooctane sulfonate) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) were found in the blood of nearly every single person tested, according to the EPA.   Continue reading “More than 100,000 People Can’t Drink the Contaminated Tap Water in Alabama…Until September!”

Be careful what kind of equality you wish for proggies.

Via KTVA: Haines (Alaska) runner Nattaphon Wangyot qualified for the girls 1-2-3A 100-meter and 200-meter finals last Friday afternoon at the high school state track and field meet, but unlike her competitors, she was born with male anatomy.   Continue reading “Transgender Equality: Boy qualifies for girls state competition in high school track races”

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order on Sunday that will penalize people and businesses who support the non-violent boycott of Israel.

In a speech to The Harvard Club, Cuomo said New York would “lead by example.”

“We are also a place of action,” he continued. “We want to take immediate action because we want Israel to know that we’re on their side. If you boycott against Israel, New York will boycott you.”   Continue reading “NY governor signs pro-Israel executive order to ‘blacklist’ BDS supporters”

Daily Targets Delayed

This is Jill in Alabama and I am emailing to let you know that Koyote was admitted to the hospital late last night after suffering numerous seizures, the cause of which is unknown at this time. He also has pneumonia so they will be keeping him a few days. Soon I will try to bring him his laptop so he may resume daily targets. Please let the Trenchers know their prayers are appreciated.

Thank you,
Jill in AL

Three separate scandals involving American servicemen and contractors in a highly-controversial Navy base in Japan’s Okinawa have finally resulted in an all-out alcohol ban on all the 18,600 sailors. The measure is the latest and comes after a Marine’s drunk-driving stunt.

Adding to the two cases involving murder and rape of two young Japanese women, a third incident saw a US sailor with six times the legal alcohol limit go on a joyride, hitting two cars in the wrong lane. The officer, Aimee Mejia, who was assigned to Kadena Air base, is now being held by Japanese police.   Continue reading “All 18,600 US sailors in Japan slapped with full drinking ban, confined to base”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is running out of time and options to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, so officials are scrambling to release as many prisoners as possible and considering novel legal strategies that include allowing some men to strike plea deals by video-teleconference.

Another option would be to send others to foreign countries to be prosecuted. But it still looks to be too late to close the prison before President Barack Obama leaves office in January, denying him the chance to fulfill a campaign pledge.   Continue reading “Obama administration rushing to shrink ranks at Guantanamo”

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio juvenile court judge is set to sentence a 15-year-old boy who pleaded guilty to charges after police say he opened fire on fellow students in a school cafeteria. Butler County Juvenile Court Judge Ronald Craft has scheduled a Monday afternoon hearing in the case of James Austin Hancock. The teenager pleaded guilty in April to four counts of attempted murder and one count of inducing panic. Craft ordered a pre-sentencing investigation and agreed to a defense request for a psychological evaluation.   Continue reading “Ohio judge to sentence teen in school cafeteria shooting”

BAGHDAD (AP) — The Islamic State group has been shooting at civilians as they try to flee the nearly two-week battle between Iraqi government forces and IS militants in the city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, an international aid organization and Iraqi military say.

On Sunday, the militants shot and killed seven civilians and seven IS defectors inside Fallujah as they attempted to flee, Iraqi Maj. Ali Hanoon said. Hanoon, who is with the elite Iraqi counterterrorism forces, on Monday put the number of civilians killed by IS since the operation started at “dozens” but declined to be more specific, saying the information coming out of Fallujah is sporadic and often incomplete. Iraqi officials say the total is likely higher.   Continue reading “Aid group says IS shooting civilians fleeing Fallujah battle”

Arabic is the fastest-growing language in American households — and that’s leading the US Census Bureau to explore the tricky task of adjusting its questionnaires to ­accommodate the language’s right-to-left script.

The bureau is using focus groups to explore possible changes to the 2020 census questionnaires for Arabic speakers who are not English-proficient, the Pew Research Center reported Friday.   Continue reading “This is the fastest growing language in American homes”

Hillary Clinton posted and shared the names of concealed U.S. intelligence officials on her unprotected email system.

Federal records reveal that Clinton swapped these highly classified names on an email account that was vulnerable to attack and was breached repeatedly by Russia-linked hacker attempts. These new revelations — reminiscent of the Valerie Plame scandal during George W. Bush’s tenure — could give FBI investigators the evidence they need to make a case that Clinton violated the Espionage Act by mishandling national defense information through “gross negligence.”   Continue reading “Hillary Clinton Posted Names of Hidden Intelligence Officials On Her Email”

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (June 2, 2016) – Two local New York law enforcement agencies spent over $550,000 purchasing and maintaining stingray devices to track the location of phones and sweep up electronic communications. Documents obtained by the ACLU reveal the departments went to great lengths to hide the existence of the devices and rarely obtain court orders for their use.   Continue reading “New York Police Departments Spend $550K On Stingrays; Rarely Obtain Court Orders for Use”

The New American – by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

Anti-gun globalists will meet in New York City this week discuss ways to confiscate small arms and ammunition from civilians and to consolidate monopoly control over those weapons in the hands of the governments of United Nations (UN) member states. The convention is part of a UN-controlled process of disarmament called the Programme of Action (PoA).

From June 6-10 delegates from around the world will attend the Sixth Biennial Meeting of States (BMS6) of the PoA. This latest planning meeting will give delegates an opportunity to move the ball closer to the goal of ridding the world’s civilian population of the small arms and ammunition that could challenge the ability of UN-approved governments to carry out the will of the world body.   Continue reading “Global Gun Control Advocates to Meet in NYC to Set UN Disarmament Agenda”
