Seems to me Steven Paddock had a long ways to go to even amount to what the police are capable in just 1 year. But yet our government wants to give the police military arms and equipment. All the while they are calling for our guns.

The year isn’t over yet, and police have already killed at least 1,023 people — many of whom were unarmed and mentally ill.

This number comes from The Guardian’s police killings database, but the Killed by Police database counts 1,096 people who have died at the hands of police so far this year. The Washington Post reports that 908 people have been shot and killed by cops.  Continue reading “This is how many people police have killed so far in 2016”

The family of a California man who was killed Sunday night during the mass shooting in Las Vegas is petitioning a court to freeze the gunman’s assets.

The gunman, identified by police as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, opened fire on a musical festival crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, killing 58 people and injuring 489 others before taking his own life. More than 22,000 people were attending the final night of the Route 91 Harvest Festival when gunfire erupted.   Continue reading “Las Vegas shooting victim’s family files petition to freeze gunman’s assets”

The one thing that we can all agree on at this point is that the climate is changing. Mother Nature certainly has awoken with a vengeance with massive storms across the globe, earthquakes, floods, early snows and weakening and even collapsing ecosystems.

The climate is changing (it always does) but that does not mean climate change has anything to do with the fraud of manmade global warming. Climate change does not mean warming it means what it says though the great manipulators of public information decided for us a few years ago that climate change means manmade warming when it does not.   Continue reading “One Thing We Can All Agree On with Climate Change”

Epsilon Theory – by W. Ben Hunt, Ph.D.

These are baby-doll Southdowns, and yes, they’re exactly as cute as they look in this picture. We only have four today on our “farm”, as sheep have a knack for killing themselves in what would almost be comical fashion if it weren’t so sad. We keep them for their so-so wool, which we clean and card and spin and knit. It’s so-so wool because the Southdowns were bred for their meat, not their fleece, and I can’t bring myself to raise an animal for its meat. Well, I could definitely raise birds for meat. Or fish. But not a charismatic mammal like a baby-doll Southdown.   Continue reading “Sheep Logic – This Is The Age Of The High-Functioning Sociopath”

The Intercept – by Glenn Greenwald

FBI AGENTS ARE devoting substantial resources to a multistate hunt for two baby piglets that the bureau believes are named Lucy and Ethel. The two piglets were removed over the summer from the Circle Four Farm in Utah by animal rights activists who had entered the Smithfield Foods-owned factory farm to film the brutal, torturous conditions in which the pigs are bred in order to be slaughtered.

While filming the conditions at the Smithfield facility, activists saw the two ailing baby piglets laying on the ground, visibly ill and near death, surrounded by the rotting corpses of dead piglets. “One was swollen and barely able to stand; the other had been trampled and was covered in blood,” said Wayne Hsiung of Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), which filmed the facility and performed the rescue. Due to various illnesses, he said, the piglets were unable to eat or digest food and were thus a fraction of the normal weight for piglets their age.  Continue reading “The FBI’s Hunt for Two Missing Piglets Reveals the Federal Cover-Up of Barbaric Factory Farms”

I was going to post this in the comments section but I wasn’t sure where, because I would really like some other folk’s opinions about what I am seeing.

Please bear in mind that I have only been on the net since Thursday and I’m backtracking through video of the Vegas shooting that took place a few days before.

The video I am referring to is the video posted on From The Trenches World Report on October 4th 2017 by Wade.   Continue reading “Muzzle flash or weird light reflections?”

Right now, Earth is passing through the tail of debris left behind by the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, which sounds scary, but is actually awesome, because it brings us the spectacular Draconid meteor shower, peaking on October 7 and 8.

Most years the Draconids are quite mild, but every few years the meteor shower unexpectedly bursts into storm. During the 2011 Draconid shower, more than 600 meteors per hour were visible in the sky, despite a bright Moon at the time.   Continue reading “Don’t Miss The Draconid Meteor Shower Peaking This Weekend”

The Daily Sheeple – by Alex Thomas

In a Thursday op-ed for the establishment New York Times, supposed conservative Bret Stephens called for the full on repeal of the Second Amendment in the wake of the largest mass shooting in American history.

Stephens, who is also paid by MSNBC to appear on television to discredit actual conservatives, started out his piece by claiming that he “never understood the conservative fetish for the Second Amendment,” a clue that perhaps he never really was a conservative in the first place.   Continue reading “Conservative New York Times Columnist Calls For Repealing The Second Amendment”

Background

My name is Mike. I live in southwest Florida on the Everglades just a few miles from
Everglades City. I am a Florida native so hurricanes are not new to me, we just learn to live with them. We don’t have hurricane parties or things like that, we take the storms very seriously. But hurricanes are just a price we must pay for the privilege to live in a tropical paradise.

Prepping

I have been a prepper long before it was fashionable. I know how to prepare for the worst be it a major storm or an economic collapse. Long go my wife and I stocked up on freeze-dried MREs, dried fruits, vegetables, coffee, olive oil and other staple items. We were never going to be hungry.   Continue reading “Lessons Learned from Hurricane Irma”

A Miami Beach man is facing criminal charges after he created a parody account purporting to be Ernesto Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Miami Beach Police Department. The defendant, Ernesto Orsetti, is charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer, a third-degree felony, according to a press release posted by the Miami New Times.

“Defendant falsely created and assumed the identity of the victim (active police officer/police information officer) via Twitter,” the police report says. “The Twitter account, @ernierodmb, had a marked Miami Beach police vehicle and a photo of the victim in uniform.”   Continue reading “Miami Beach cops arrest man for Twitter parody of police spokesman”

Phoenix, Arizona, resident Jonathan Pring called police and surrendered all of his guns in hopes of making a statement following the heinous attack on concertgoers in Las Vegas.

According to 12 News, Pring said the Vegas attack made him “think about what was important in life,” and he listed family as number one. He then said, “I would hate for that to happen to my family and it suddenly made me think how ridiculous this whole gun debate is in America. So, one immediate thing that I could do was hand over my guns,” he said. “I’m one less civilian that has guns.”   Continue reading “Man Surrenders All His Guns to Make a Statement After Vegas Attack”
