American FlagAmmoLand – by Chuck Norris

Dallas, TX – -(Ammoland.com)- It’s the very symbol of patriotism — Old Glory, as William Driver, a 19th-century American sea captain, nicknamed it.

But even as we close in on Independence Day, more and more people across the country are calling the American flag a threat and inappropriate home garnishing.

A week ago, the landlord of a Texas man called the American flag “a threat to the Muslim community” and ordered him to remove it from his home, according to KHOU-TV.   Continue reading “The American Flag: ‘A Threat’?”

The latest drilling techniques for obtaining gas, which drill horizontally as opposed to the more traditional vertical drilling, shows a higher rate of leaking methane, according to a study that could spell problems for fracking across the nation.

After poring over data from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection involving more than 41,000 wells, it was determined that more than 6 percent of the active gas wells drilled in the Marcellus region of Pennsylvania “show compromised cement and/or casing integrity,” according to an academic paper published on Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.    Continue reading “Fracking industry fumes as researchers reveal high levels of leaking methane”

The answer is a conditional yes, but it will be very, very difficult, given the scope of the current situation, and most Americans will have to pull together to accomplish this.

The problem “We the People” now face is essentially the same that was faced by our Founding Fathers when they were oppressed and tyrannized by King George and England.

One major difference now however is that our leadership has been compromised, bought, blackmailed or murdered, leaving us without any George Washington, Ben Franklin, or John Adams type individuals.   Continue reading “Can “We the People” Save America from Destruction by World Zionists ?”

An important, though risky, move.New York Daily News

Republican House Speaker John Boehner’s decision to sue the President for failing to execute the laws of our country isn’t as crazy (gasp!) as some think. And it isn’t, as Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called it, “subterfuge.”

It is, after six long years of presidential overreach and run-around, in fact the only logical and responsible next step – and perhaps the kindest both to the country and the President.   Continue reading “Boehner’s lawsuit: A double-edged sword”

HOUSTON (AP) — Rushing into a Houston home, police officer Austin Huckabee encountered a drunken, combative man bleeding profusely on the kitchen floor. He quickly realized the blood was spurting in rhythm with the man’s heart and cardiac arrest was just moments away.

Pulling a tourniquet from his belt, the former Army captain and his partner restrained the man, wrapped the band around his arm and twisted an attached rod to tighten it until the bleeding stopped. Then Huckabee waited for paramedics, knowing a life had been saved.   Continue reading “Tourniquets make comeback with American police”

NEW YORK (AP) — A former New York Police Department officer was set to leave jail on Tuesday after a judge overturned his conviction in a bizarre case accusing him of plotting to kidnap, kill and eat young women.

Judge Paul Gardephe ruled late Monday that there was insufficient evidence to support a jury’s guilty verdict in the kidnapping conspiracy conviction of Gilberto Valle. His lawyers had argued that the alleged plots were really fantasy online role play that never put anyone in harm’s way.   Continue reading “Conviction of NYC cop cannibalism case overturned”

On June 30, 2014, I interviewed Dr. Jane Orient, an internal medicine specialist and the Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). Dr. Orient stated that by admitting these huge groups of children who come from countries where medical screenings are minimal and hygiene is poor, the United States is at risk for epidemics of serious diseases and viruses that the nation has not seen in years and for which we have no immunity.
