HARTFORD, Conn. –  As state officials across the U.S. grapple with how to prevent mass killings like the ones at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and near the University of California, Santa Barbara, some are turning to a gun seizure law pioneered in Connecticut 15 years ago.

Connecticut’s law allows judges to order guns temporarily seized after police present evidence that a person is a danger to themselves or others. A court hearing must be held within 14 days to determine whether to return the guns or authorize the state to hold them for up to a year.   Continue reading “States look to gun seizure law after mass killings”

Ordinary Internet users, American and non-American alike, far outnumber legally targeted foreigners in the communications intercepted by the National Security Agency from U.S. digital networks, according to a four-month investigation by The Washington Post.

Nine of 10 account holders found in a large cache of intercepted conversations, which former NSA contractor Edward Snowden provided in full to The Post, were not the intended surveillance targets but were caught in a net the agency had cast for somebody else.   Continue reading “In NSA-intercepted data, those not targeted far outnumber the foreigners who are”

Ticks are blood-sucking arthropods that can act as vectors for various diseases in both animals and humans. A recent article published in Frontiers in Zoology summarizes findings that suggest ticks may also be considered venomous ectoparasites. For example, Ixodes holocyclus is a species of Australian tick whose saliva can induce paralysis in humans and animals. According to the new article, about 8% of known tick species can induce paralysis. Ornithodoros savignyi ticks even secrete a lethal salivary toxin (for mice at least). Several proteins from venomous families have been identified in tick saliva such as:   Continue reading “Venomous ticks??”

Up until now, one of the major barriers to the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem has been the lack of a red heifer.  A qualified red heifer has not been seen in the land of Israel for nearly two thousand years, and without one it would not be possible to resume Temple worship.  But now a candidate has been found that could change everything.  The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has released stunning video footage of a red heifer that they believe meets the Biblical requirements.  This red heifer was born in the United States, and the owners of the red heifer contacted the Temple Institute in order to receive instructions about how to care for it.  It is hoped that this red heifer will eventually be transported to the land of Israel and be used for the purification of the priests and the vessels that will be used in a rebuilt Jewish Temple.   Continue reading “Red Heifer Discovered! – Major Obstacle To The Rebuilding Of The Jewish Temple Removed”

ABC News host Martha Raddatz on Sunday cut off Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) after he spent four minutes defending a conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was plotting to fill up the United States with undocumented immigrants.

Speaking to Fox News last week, Perry had asserted that the president was responsible for the growing crisis of women and children immigrants coming across the border.   Continue reading “ABC cuts off Rick Perry’s conspiracy rant about Obama, immigrants, drones, and hurricanes”

Twenty minutes into the future Sam Jones gets into the Google Car he ordered online. It was a Driverless Car and was the cheapest way to get to where he was going. He was on a tight budget because his hours and his wages had been cut several times. But he had to say something. The government can’t just repeal the entire Bill of Rights. He had decided to go to a major protest at the State Capitol. He normally took the bus to work and to shop ever since the over priced car he bought 3 jobs ago had died. This was his very first trip by Google Car.   Continue reading “Google Car: You Have Arrived At Your Destination Camp FEMA.”

Gov. Rick Perry said Sunday that President Obama doesn’t care if the southern border is secure and that his failure to anticipate and stem the tide of Central American children entering the country indicates he is either “inept” or has an “ulterior motive.”

“What has to be addressed is the security of the border. You know that. I know that. The president of the United States knows that. I don’t believe he particularly cares whether or not the border of the United States is secure. And that’s the reason there’s been this lack of effort, this lack of focus, this lack of resources.” Perry said on ABC’s “This Week.”   Continue reading “Perry: Obama either ‘inept’ or has ‘ulterior motive’ for border failure”

A whole generation was silenced with the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Kent State served to warn college students what happens when you exercise your first amendment rights. And now another generation is being silenced with the “war on terror” and the ridiculous definition of what constitutes a terrorist.

A middle school principal in George has suspended a group of students for “terrorism” because they were planning a day of civil disobedience to protest the school dress code.   Continue reading “Disobedience Is The True Foundation of Liberty”

A few days ago, we asked a simple rhetorical question: “Are you targeted by the NSA?“

The answer, sadly for those reading this, is very likely yes, as it was revealed that as part of the NSA’s XKeyscore program “a computer network exploitation system, as described in an NSA presentation, devoted to gathering nearly everything a user does on the internet” all it takes for a user to be flagged by America’s superspooks is to go to a website the NSA finds less than “patriotic” and that user becomes a fixture for the NSA’s tracking algos.   Continue reading “What Your “Startlingly Intimate, Voyeristic” NSA File Looks Like”

Kelly Parker was thrilled when she landed her dream job in 2012 providing tech support for Harley-Davidson’s Tomahawk, Wisconsin, plants. The divorced mother of three hoped it was the beginning of a new career with the motorcycle company.

The dream didn’t last long. Parker claims she was laid off one year later after she trained her replacement, a newly arrived worker from India. Now she has joined a federal lawsuit alleging the global staffing firm that ran Harley-Davidson’s tech support discriminated against American workers — in part by replacing them with temporary workers from South Asia.   Continue reading “Backlash stirs in US against foreign worker visas”
