WEB Notes: I have noticed a disturbing trend by those on the right side of the fence since Trump became the President. For the most part, he can do no wrong. You will notice the media is touting these employment numbers as well, a media who many say is completely against Trump. You should know those who control the mainstream media control both sides of the argument, this is by design. On the softer side of the matter Obama was certainly not a good President, though I never read about those on the “right” praising him for the economy, yet the “official” numbers say the economy improved…

Instead, people all said the numbers were fake, but now the numbers for Trump are real. Sounds like a double standard.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A judge’s decision not to let federal prosecutors reopen the criminal case against Cliven Bundy, his sons and supporters in a 2014 armed standoff with government agents could amount to the final act in the case, a lawyer for the Nevada rancher and states’ rights activist said Friday.

“It’s the final nail in the coffin, and completely expected,” attorney Bret Whipple said of the ruling in the criminal case that was filed in 2016 against 19 defendants and collapsed last December in a mistrial due to “flagrant misconduct” by prosecutors.   Continue reading “Judge Rejects Government Bid to Reopen Activist Rancher Case”

I’d like to tell you a story…

This year as every new one, on a hot and balmy evening in July, a man sat with his young son upon the balcony of his mansion in the hills overlooking the city. As the darkness of night began to encroach upon the day, the little boy began to get restless, for his yearly experience each 4th of July was quite different from most children, even anti-climatic in a way. From this distance and vantage point way above even the farthest of rockets launched, as the sun was just beginning to set, it appeared that the whole county was ablaze in tiny explosions, a ballet of distant flashes and bangs without the accompanying decibels. One might compare this scene to a war zone, if one had any such experience as that. But alas, as with all elite, such wars and battles are watched from afar.  Continue reading “A Parable For In Dependence Day”

We all think we can defend ourselves with a handgun of choice, as though we won’t panic. It’s as if we will have a cool head, muscle memory, clear thinking, and a steady hand.  But when it comes to possibly taking another’s life, there usually isn’t time for deliberation. The most important decision you will make is how you prepare, practice, and train yourself prior to an event ever happening. Listed below are some interesting and helpful drills meant to aid you in staying battle ready in the case such an event occurs.  Continue reading “Staying Battle Ready With Your Handgun”

Note: A reader of  this article on another website commented that I had the timeline incorrect regarding the release of the Federalist Papers. When I checked (yet again), I found out h/she was correct. The first one was released one month AFTER the Philadelphia constitutional convention on October 27, 1787 and not before it began. The Federalist goal at that point was to hasten the ratification of their newly signed, second constitution, which was accomplished. Despite this correction, the big picture as represented in the article remains the same. My apologies to the readers for this error.  Continue reading “Constitution Con? 11 Hidden Facts”

The Huck Finn on Morris Avenue in Union is an unremarkable, typical Jersey diner, where the usual three-egg omelets and burgers share the menu with Greek salads, tuna sandwiches and, of course, meatloaf.

But it has a more notorious claim to fame. In November 2005, authorities made a gruesome discovery in the trunk of a silver Acura that had sat undisturbed for weeks in the back of the diner’s big parking lot.

Three days before the presidential election, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump visited the Queens gravesite of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson and, according to The Times of Israel, they prayed for Donald Trump’s victory.

Schneerson, who died in 1994, is an interesting character. Although he never claimed it himself, some of his followers consider him the Messiah, and others believe he is still alive.  Continue reading “The Odd Chabad Connection Between Putin and Trump”

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A joint statement by the prime ministers of Poland and Israel was meant to lay to rest a months-long dispute over how to remember Polish behavior during the Holocaust. Instead, the document has re-opened wounds that go back decades.

Prime ministers Benjamin Netanyahu and Mateusz Morawiecki signed and recited the statement in their respective capitals last week after Poland scrapped potential prison terms for anyone claiming the country bore some responsibility for the Holocaust.   Continue reading “Joint Statement On Holocaust Fuels Anger It Was Meant To End”

President Donald Trump recently suggested that illegal aliens should be sent back to their countries of origin without hearings and the years of litigation that often follow.

He branded the current process, which permits illegal aliens to repeatedly contest orders of removal, as “a mockery to good immigration policy and law and order.” Continue reading “Supreme Court Says Foreign Nationals Have No Due Process Rights Here”

“I need somebody to come through here please, ASAP. Now. There’s about eight people in a van, and they’ve been in the store for about an hour. They keep going back and forth to the bathrooms by my back door.” That’s the 911 call—obtained by WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News—from a Subway employee on a family of 6, Felicia and Othniel Dobson and their four children, ages 8, 12, 13, and 19. The family had stopped at the Subway in Coweta County, Georgia, on their trip back from South Georgia to their home state of North Carolina. They had been attending a grandparent’s birthday party for the weekend.  Continue reading “Subway employee calls police on two parents and their four kids eating dinner”

Just after she turned 70, Leslie Botts became a lifeguard.

While the headline prints in today’s jobs report were solid with the exception of hourly earnings, which disappointed consensus expectations on both a monthly and annual basis, however not too dramatically earning the report a “goldilocks” name, a look below the surface reveals at least one ugly side to today’s jobs report: all the job gains were for part-time workers, while full-time employment dipped modestly.

In June, the number of part-time workers rose by 145K to 27.028MM, while the full-time workers declined by a modest 89K to 128.658MM.   Continue reading “June Jobs Increase: All Part-Time Workers As Full-Time Jobs Drop”
