Monday morning began with a jolt along the western coast of Mexico when a deadly 6.9-magnitude earthquake shook buildings as far away as Mexico City.

The large temblor occurred at 6:23 a.m. local time (7:23 a.m. Eastern time), five miles northeast of Puerto Madero, Mexico. The epicenter was near the Guatemalan border, where strong shaking was also felt, according to RT.com.

A Fourth of July parade float that depicted a figure standing outside an outhouse labeled the “Obama Presidential Library” has created a stir on social media and is also receiving criticism in Norfolk, Nebraska.

The float, in Norfolk’s annual Independence Day parade, was on a flatbed trailer being pulled by a blue pickup truck. The figure was dressed in overalls and standing next to a walker outside of the outhouse. The hands and head of the figure were greenish and appeared to be zombielike; the hands were pressed against the sides of the figure’s head. Miniature American flags were atop the float and on the truck.   Continue reading “July 4 parade float depicting Obama presidential library as outhouse draws cheers, controversy”

HOUSTON, Texas–A busload of illegal immigrants is expected to show up in Murrieta, California in spite of a furious group of residents who claim their town is no place for the migrants. On Sunday Breitbart Texas broke the news that federal agents accompanying the bus will have riot gear and shields, in order to push back the crowd. Despite this, the protesters have no intentions of backing down–rather, the group is preparing for a showdown that one resident told Breitbart Texas “might get ugly.”

Sources on the ground in Murrieta told Breitbart Texas that many protesters have already gathered in the town this morning in anticipation of the busload. Law enforcement is there, too.   Continue reading “Murrieta Residents Preparing for Riot Squads, Ready to ‘Be Detained’”

The Lone Star Watchdog

The reason why we are in a sad state is because we have held back while the Dictatorship does not hold back anything. He does not have anymore constitutional restraint. They are using all resources at the their disposal to wreck the country by breaking the law. We are told we are supposed to use restraint and do things peacefully while the other side is not afraid to incite violence if necessary to get their way.

If Governor Perry is serious about securing the border and protecting Texas from invasion. He has every legal and moral right to do so. He ought to not hold nothing back to protect the Lone Star State from an insurrection perpetrated by the Federal government to bring in the North American Union and the Bankrupt Texas under the Cloward and Pivon plan.   Continue reading “Governor Perry: Do you Have the Guts to Arrest Pres. Obama for Treason When He Visits Texas This Week?”

Bellevue, WA -(Ammoland.com)- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s veto of gun control legislation, blasting its proponents for offering a “simplistic solution” to a complex problem with violent crime is the kind of wake-up call too few executives are willing to make, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.

Gov. Christie vetoed Assembly Bill 2006, which would have decreased magazine capacity from 15 to ten rounds, telling gun control proponents, “We ignore the hard for the expedient, the controversial for the safely familiar, and the costly for those cheaply recycled answers that never really address the root causes.”   Continue reading “CCRKBA Congratulates Christie for Veto of Extremist Gun Measure”

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top Obama administration official says no one, not even children trying to escape violent countries, can illegally enter the United States without eventually facing deportation proceedings.

But Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson basically acknowledged Sunday that such proceedings might be long delayed, and he said that coping with floods of unaccompanied minors crossing the border is a legal and humanitarian dilemma for the United States.   Continue reading “Child migrant crisis has legal, political hurdles”

CAMBRIDGE, England (AP) — The papers spent years hidden in a milk churn beneath a Russian dacha and read like an encyclopedia of Cold War espionage.

Original documents from one of the biggest intelligence leaks in history — a who’s who of Soviet spying — were released Monday after being held in secret for two decades. The files smuggled out of Russia in 1992 by senior KGB official Vasili Mitrokhin describe sabotage plots, booby-trapped weapons caches and armies of agents under cover in the West — the real-life inspiration for the fictional Soviet moles in “The Americans” TV series.   Continue reading “Soviet defector’s trove of KGB secrets made public”
