Condoleezza Rice doesn’t “understand why civilians need to have access to military weapons.” The former Secretary of State’s comments are seemingly at odds with her support for the 2nd Amendment.

Rice, George W Bush’s secretary of state, was speaking to radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday when she questioned the need for military weapons. “I think it is time to have a conversation about what the right to bear arms means in the modern world,” she said.  Continue reading “‘I don’t understand why civilians need military weapons’ – Condi Rice”

Saudi Arabia is undergoing a truly seismic shift in its economy, politics, and society, all thanks to the oil price crash of 2014.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, commonly referred to as MBS, would likely not have had the opportunity to initiate the sweeping changes envisaged in Vision 2030 had it not been for the price collapse. Now, Riyadh needs oil prices to rise as high as possible for the plan to succeed — and is even ready to tip the market into a deficit to that end.  Continue reading “Saudis ready to swing oil market into deficit”

SAN DIEGO (AP) — U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein failed to win the official endorsement of the California Democratic Party as she seeks her fifth term, another sign that the party is divided over how best to battle Republicans in Washington.

Democratic activists were more eager to back her primary challenger, state Senate leader Kevin de Leon, who is touting himself as a fresh face with stronger progressive credentials, particularly on immigration.   Continue reading “California Democratic Party won’t endorse Dianne Feinstein”

Thanks to the work of the Panda Idaho, an Idaho house committee passed the Restoring Constitutional Governance Act, H473, by a vote of 11-2 on February 20, 2018. This legislation, drafted by the Patriot Coalition, is the strongest in the nation as it explicitly prohibits the laws of war from being used on non-soldiers in Idaho, and Idaho citizens anywhere, and will punish any person, including Federal or international agents, who attempts to utilize those powers.   Continue reading “Idaho Passes Strongest Anti-NDAA Bill in America Out of Committee 11-2”

What happens when Robocop meets Knight Rider’s KITT? You get Ford’s latest brainchild, a plan for an automated police car that’s either an abuse of privacy and power or the future of unbiased law enforcement, reported The Daily Mail.

A recent patent filed by the automaker specifies the concept of an autonomous vehicle that lurks behind buildings or trees to surprise speeding drivers.

Law enforcement officials are not amused by the implied threat to their jobs. Neither are autonomous experts who worry about robots violating privacy.   Continue reading “Can Ford’s proposed autonomous “Robocop” car be trusted not to shoot innocent civilians?”

The documents are the result of Freedom of Information Act requests filed by the EFF as part of an effort to shine light on the inner workings of the secret court. The EFF writes:  Continue reading “Newly Released Documents Prove FISA Surveillance Court Spying on Innocent Americans”

As the media and the government continue to use the tragic shooting at a Parkland, Florida high school to push their various agendas, it is important to remember that psychopaths who want to kill a lot of people—will do so with or without a gun. In fact, the deadliest attack on a school to ever take place on US soil was done so without a single round being fired.

In Bath Township, Michigan, 44 people, mostly children, lost their lives when a man by the name of Andrew Kehoe blew up the town’s school. This attack is often disregarded by history as it paints a different narrative outside of the normal problem, reaction, solution of grabbing guns. As a result, it has largely been erased from the narrative.  Continue reading “The Deadliest School Attack in the US Was Erased from History Because It Wasn’t Done With a Gun”

Back in the mid-2000’s Jeri Lynn informed me that an A-turn-on-me by the name of Fred Kelly Grant was holding an Open Meeting at the Smith River Grange to speak on a concept known as ‘Coordination’ that I had never heard of; and so, just to get out of my Bear Cage I went to pick his brains or pick him apart and to my pleasant surprise I was actually impressed. After the meeting I explained to him that I had been diligently investigating Statutory Constructions and asked if he had ever heard of the cases on Brand X Internet or the Chevron Difference and when he said ‘no’ I gave him a short summary and advised him to look up Brand X Internet Services v. FCC which would take him to the Chevron case out of the Supremes and he thanked me, saying that was something he might be able to use … obviously he is using them now;~)))   Continue reading “Attorney Fred Kelly Grant explains the Administrative construct known as ‘Coordination’”

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland’s ban on 45 kinds of assault weapons and its 10-round limit on gun magazines were upheld Tuesday by a federal appeals court in a decision that met with a strongly worded dissent.

In a 10-4 ruling, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, said the guns banned under Maryland’s law aren’t protected by the Second Amendment.

“Put simply, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war,” Judge Robert King wrote for the court, adding that the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller explicitly excluded such coverage.   Continue reading “Assault Weapons Not Protected by Second Amendment, Federal Appeals Court Rules”
