On top of tracking all the websites you visit and sending it to Google’s servers, Chrome web browser is now scanning all your private files in the interest of “safety.”
From Vice:
The browser you likely use to read this article scans practically all files on your Windows computer. And you probably had no idea until you read this. Don’t worry, you’re not the only one.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wants to track the vast networks of journalists, bloggers and other “media influencers” through a massive, searchable database that will allow them to monitor “any and all” trends in real time, according to a publicly posted job listing.
Apparently the NSA doesn’t share their toys with DHS… Continue reading “DHS Creates Database To Track Journalists, Bloggers, “Media Influencers”, Calls Critics “Conspiracy Theorists””
WASHINGTON (AP) — Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt’s concern with his safety came at a steep cost to taxpayers as his swollen security detail blew through overtime budgets and at times diverted officers away from investigating environmental crimes.
Altogether, the agency spent millions of dollars for a 20-member full-time detail that is more than three times the size of his predecessor’s part-time security contingent. Continue reading “AP sources: EPA chief spent millions on security and travel”
The Texas National Guard has begun deploying troops to help secure the state’s southern border with Mexico as President Donald Trump has been unable to get the U.S. Congress or Mexico to fully fund his proposed wall along the border.
The deployment, announced on Friday by Texas officials, comes after Trump directed Defense Secretary James Mattis to request the use of National Guard personnel to help the Department of Homeland Security secure the border in four southwestern U.S. states, including Texas.

Seven years ago almost to the day during a Good Friday church service, my cell phone rang. I promptly turned the ringer off – It was the middle of the service. A few moments later, It rang again. I turned the phone’s ringer off again, and this time I sat on it. Yeah, I know. You see, my phone made a loud noise when it was turned completely off, so I didn’t want to do that. Fortunately, the service was just about over. So as soon as it was finished, I pulled my phone out and looked to see who had called. It was my mother. Yeah, not good turning the phone off on your mom! So I called her back only to hear her panicked voice, “Karen, are you okay? Is everyone unhurt?” Continue reading “The Aftermath: What It’s Really Like After Your Home Is Hit by a Tornado”

By now, unless you have been living in a Wifi-free deadzone, you’ve heard about the hundreds of billions in tariffs that the United States and China are flinging at one another like ninja throwing stars. When you’re hearing numbers like “100 billion dollars” it may seem like this is in an entirely different universe than the one in which you exist.
Unfortunately, that’s incorrect. Continue reading “The Tariff War Will Affect the Prices and Availability of THESE Items”
Cute little Missouri pig …That was killed in the town of Potosi , Mo.
We call them Piney Wood Rooter’s. There was a documentary on about a month ago about these PIGS growing up rapidly in the US. They’re all over Georgia , Alabama , Arkansas , Missouri , Florida and other states. Continue reading “Pork-Chops – Anyone?”

America, it’s time to talk about ex post facto laws. Why has the time come to talk about such things and understand it? States, municipalities, and Congress are moving toward passing laws and ordinances against gun ownership that could move into ex post facto laws. For example; in the town of Deerfield, Illinois, the Board of Trustees passed an ordinance that banned certain “assault-type” weapons, large magazines that hold over 10 rounds, and semi-automatic pistols capable of holding over 10 rounds, requiring residents to turn in those firearms to government or face a fine of $250 to $1,000 per day per gun.

A South Carolina Republican congressman is not backing down from critics after he pulled out his own personal — and loaded — .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun during a meeting with constituents Friday.
U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman, R-Rock Hill, told The Post and Courier he pulled out the weapon and placed it on a table for several minutes in attempt to make a point that guns are only dangerous in the hands of criminals. Continue reading “U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman pulls out loaded gun in constituent meeting to make point about safety”
SACRAMENTO, CA (April 6, 2018) — Firearms Policy Coalition today announced that it had acquired new “mock-up” language for California Assembly Bill 2382 (AB 2382), currently a bill authored by Asm. Mike Gipson (D – Carson) to expand the definition of “firearm” and “receiver,” that would enact a radical and far-reaching new regulatory scheme by treating non-firearm parts, components, and even some raw materials in a virtually-identical manner as Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 63 and Senator Kevin de Leon’s SB 1235 (2016) did with ammunition. FPC called the broad reach and implications of the disturbing amendments “staggering.” Continue reading “Amendments to Calif. “Ghost Gun” Bill Would Enact “Staggering” New Firearms Parts Regulations”
At a recent rally in New Hampshire, Donald Trump called for the death penalty for drug traffickers as part of a plan to combat the opioid epidemic in the United States. At a Pennsylvania rally a few weeks earlier, he called for the same.
Now his administration is taking steps toward making this proposal a reality. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memo on March 21 asking prosecutors to pursue capital punishment for drug traffickers — a power he has thanks to legislation passed under President Bill Clinton.

If you’ve read any sort of science fiction, it’s likely you’ve heard about subvocalization, the practice of silently saying words in your head. It’s common when we read (though it does slow you down), but it’s only recently begun to be used as a way to interact with our computers and mobile devices. To that end, MIT researchers have created a device you wear on your face that can measure neuromuscular signals that get triggered when you subvocalize. Continue reading “MIT’s wearable device can ‘hear’ the words you say in your head”
There has been a 203 percent increase in the number of nonwhite invaders trying to smash their way into the United States over the Mexico border in the past year, new figures from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have revealed.
A statement from the DHS’s Press Secretary Tyler Q. Houlton said that the “crisis at our Southwest border is real. The number of illegal border crossings during the month of March shows an urgent need to address the ongoing situation at the border.

Eighteen more Palestinians were unapologetically murdered this past “Good Friday” by the Israeli military. They were unarmed. They were on their own land. They were desperate. They screamed their desperation as they marched. Then, they shouted their daily reality of personal horrors too close to Israel’s attention. So, they were killed. Continue reading “The Good Friday Massacre: World…We Are All Palestinians, Now!”

A judge in Massachusetts on Friday ruled against a lawsuit that questioned the state’s ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, declaring that the weapons were not protected by the Second Amendment.
Assault weapons are considered to be military firearms, U.S. District Judge William Young said in his ruling, therefore disqualifying them from being included in a citizen’s right to “bear arms.” Continue reading “Massachusetts’ ban on assault weapons doesn’t violate 2nd Amendment, judge rules”
Who are we and what do we believe?
We, the members of the International Criminals Union, declare our position that all free and sovereign nations unite to ban the possession of firearms by law-abiding citizens.
It is our belief that our profession becomes more dangerous without strong and strict laws to regulate and prevent law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms. When only criminals and police can own a firearm our union’s potential for growth will be unsurpassed. Continue reading “Criminals for Gun Control”
A Georgia sheriff, whose politically incorrect welcome sign went viral in 2015, has a new, bold message for visitors to his county.
“Our citizens have concealed weapons,” the welcome sign reads in part. “If you kill someone, we might kill you back.” Continue reading “Georgia sheriff’s concealed-carry sign goes viral”
