A showdown is brewing in the State of Oregon following gun control advocates’ proposed assault weapons ban called Initiative Proposition 43 (IP43). Under the guise of “gun control” and “safety of our children,” proponents of the measure aim to effectively ban all weapons produced since the Civil War. But several counties are pushing back with their own Second Amendment Preservation Ordinances.

Klamath and Deschutes Counties are attempting to push back against the ordinance by passing their own county-wide ordinances to disallow the county sheriff from enforcing any state or federal law which would infringe on county residents’ rights to keep and bear arms. It’s effectively a ban on gun bans.   Continue reading “Multiple Cities Come Together to Pass Ordinances Making it Illegal to Ban Guns”

OAK CITY, N.C. — For the sake of a greener Europe, thousands of American trees are falling each month in the forests outside this cotton-country town.

Every morning, logging crews go to work in densely wooded bottomlands along the Roanoke River, clearing out every tree and shrub down to the bare dirt. Each day, dozens of trucks haul freshly cut oaks and poplars to a nearby factory where the wood is converted into small pellets, to be used as fuel in European power plants.   Continue reading “How Europe’s climate policies have led to more trees being cut down in the U.S.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen sent a message to members of the “migrant caravan” who are now in Tijuana. The migrants announced they plan to enter the U.S. in massive numbers to declare asylum. Neilsen also addressed her warning to the organizers who may be coaching migrants on how to falsely make a “credible fear” claim.

“If you enter our country illegally, you have broken the law and will be referred for prosecution,” Nielsen stated on Wednesday. “If you make a false immigration claim, you have broken the law and will be referred for prosecution. If you assist or coach an individual in making a false immigration claim, you have broken the law and will be referred for prosecution.”   Continue reading “DHS to ‘Caravan’ Migrants: False Asylum Claims Will Be Prosecuted”

As a resident of Oklahoma I have to say that I fully support this bill!

The process to attain a permit at the moment is a tad silly. I suspect that it is more about the money made than being sure that those carrying are qualified. There is very little on gun safety during class or range testing which is what most new shooters really needed. There is some information on legalities but most should be common sense.

American warplanes are being jammed as they fly missions over Syria, preventing them from telling friend from foe on the battlefield.

General Raymond Thomas, head of U.S. Special Operations Command, said unspecified ‘adversaries’ were ramping up cyber attacks in the region.

He said the Air Force AC-130 gunship was ‘aggressively’ targeted, which could force it to abort missions and leave ground forces exposed.   Continue reading “Air Force gunships in Syria are being jammed by ‘adversaries’ rendering blind and unable to help under-siege troops, special ops general says”

So is it really the end of the American car on its home turf?

From the way Detroit’s major executives are talking, it would seem so.

Ford said Wednesday it will only offer two new cars in North America over the coming years — its iconic Mustang and the Focus Active, a rugged-looking hatchback that has already debuted in Europe, and somewhat resembles the Subaru Crosstrek or the Buick Regal TourX.   Continue reading “Ford is basically giving up on US car business, and GM is not far behind”

San Francisco’s Tenderloin was bustling with tents, sleeping bags, the meager possessions of the city’s homeless on Tuesday – now it is empty.

About 50 tent-dwellers were evicted in a sweep of problem streets, either moved on or having their tends and possessions taken away.

The raid came days after Mayor Mark Farrell vowed to clean up the streets after dozens of homeless resisted efforts to move them into shelters.   Continue reading “San Francisco police trumpets its removal of homeless camps after the mayor promised a crackdown but Twitter users demand to know what happened to the people in the tents”

On April 9, 2018, I re-blogged Dr. James Tracy’s post on the sudden and untimely death, at age 42, of Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Fitzsimons, who had questioned the Parkland school shooting’s gun control agenda.

Now comes an announcement of another Broward County deputy death — that of 53-year-old Marshall Peterson. Yesterday, the Broward Sheriff tweeted this:   Continue reading “Second Broward County Sheriff’s deputy dead, at 53”

The World Bank is allowing Kabul to use the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF), financed by American taxpayer money estimated in the billions, to pay for “dysfunctional” projects and possibly even “ghost workers,” a U.S. watchdog agency announced Wednesday.

In an audit published Wednesday, the U.S. Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) identifies the United States as the largest contributor to World Bank-administered ARTF.   Continue reading “Watchdog: U.S. Spending Billions on ‘Dysfunctional Projects,’ ‘Ghost Workers’ in Afghanistan”
