Prior to 1968, most adults in the United States could purchase a firearm without state interference. Guns were available in local retail stores, as well as mail-order catalogs, and as long as you hadn’t been convicted of a felony and you had the funds, there weren’t any questions asked.

Things are different now. Depending on where in America you are and what type of gun you want to buy, there’s a good chance you’ll need to pass a NICS-mandated background check to complete your purchase.   Continue reading “Gun Background Checks: How the State Came To Decide Who Can and Cannot Buy a Firearm”

An illegal immigrant from Mexico allegedly yelled “f*ck you” shortly before assaulting an El Centro Sector Border Patrol agent with a broken lawnmower blade. The agent was seated in her patrol vehicle near the border fence when the attack began and sustained minor injuries.

As the man came closer, he allegedly shouted “f*ck you!” and produced a broken lawnmower blade. He then threw it through the closed window of her patrol car striking the agent, according to a criminal complaint obtained from the FBI by Breitbart News.   Continue reading “Migrant Gang Member Allegedly Yells ‘F-You’ Before Assaulting Border Patrol Agent with Lawnmower Blade”

A Pennsylvania billboard has sparked an outcry and accusations of racism — but the man who put it up insists that he’s simply trying to strike up a “conversation” about race.

As Pittsburgh’s WPXI reports, the controversial digital billboard stands on Route 422 outside Worthington, Pa. Its changing screen features multiple messages. One reads “whites have rights,” while another features a photo of actor Jussie Smollett, who is being investigated for an alleged hate crime hoax.   Continue reading “‘Whites have rights’: Outrage over billboard attacking Jussie Smollett and Rep.

Times of Israel

WASHINGTON —  Support for Israel in the American public is at its lowest point in a decade, according new Gallup poll released Wednesday, with a whopping decline among self-identified Republicans who said they sympathized more with Israelis than Palestinians.

Whereas 65 percent of Americans said they were “more sympathetic” to Israel over the Palestinians in 2018, 59% said the same in 2019, marking a six point drop. That decline is the biggest over a one-year period in the history of the poll, which began in 2001. The number of Americans who said they sympathized more with the Palestinians, however, went unchanged over the last year, remaining at 21 percent.   Continue reading “New poll: Americans’ support for Israel falls to lowest point in a decade”

Two decades ago, the US intelligence community worked closely with Silicon Valley in an effort to track citizens in cyberspace. And Google is at the heart of that origin story. Some of the research that led to Google’s ambitious creation was funded and coordinated by a research group established by the intelligence community to find ways to track individuals and groups online.   Continue reading “Flashback: Google’s true origin partly lies in CIA and NSA research grants for mass surveillance”

For 20 years, Harris Poll has been measuring the reputations of the most high-profile American companies. This year, for the first time, people mentioned the U.S. government as a “company” that they think about — and they hate it.

Why it matters: The fact that people would bring it up unprompted — and then give it the lowest score of the 100 companies on the list — suggests that Americans aren’t just unimpressed with their government. They think it’s a toxic waste dump.

Achille, OK — A video of the Achille police department raiding the home of an innocent family, threatening a husband and wife, and ripping a baby from a mother’s arms was apparently so disturbing that the entire department has been suspended. The actions of the officers may now lead to their termination, according to Achille mayor, David Northcutt.

“There were several issues which some felt arose in which the warrant was delivered, as well as other actions that occurred at the residence,” said Northcutt. Continue reading “Video of Raid on Innocent Family So Disturbing, Entire Police Dept Suspended”
