American special operations units permanently deployed in Eastern Europe are no longer just on the Pentagon’s wish list. About 100 instructors are set to train spec ops teams in former Soviet bloc states to ‘message’ Moscow over the conflict in Ukraine.

The latest statements from the US European Command (EUCOM) once again prove that Washington is using the crisis in Ukraine to revitalize the NATO alliance and bolster its military presence in Europe in order to tie it to the US.   Continue reading “US commandos get permanent Eastern European foothold”

Christian Mercenary – by T.L. Davis

Jared and Amanda Miller finally gave the feds the excuse they were looking for to put all of us “domestic terrorists” on notice. It was bound to happen wasn’t it? And now the post I made only yesterday asks the question of today. Do we have the ability, as a movement, to stomach the sort of thing the Millers did and still stand by our previous statements? Who knows if they were white supremacists, how can anyone know for sure? They draped the cops body with a Swastika, does that say something about them, or the cops? Who are the Nazis in this scenario? Continue reading “The Miller Dilemma”

Now the End Begins

Whether you are a fan of the motivational speaker from Texas or not, one thing is absolutely for certain. Joel and Victoria Osteen are, without a doubt, living their best life now.

In the days before Christianity became the Church of Laodicea prophesied in the 3rd chapter of the book of Revelation, there were mighty men of God, great, Holy Spirit filled preachers who traveled the world setting up tents and seeing souls get saved. Men like DL Moody and Billy Sunday who pounded the sawdust trail looking for lost sinners.   Continue reading “Joel Osteen Prosperity Gospel Revival Show Hits $850 For Top Ticket Price”

An interesting — and possibly harmful — ruling on public records requests has just been issued by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. Although the ruling has a very limited jurisdiction, it could be used to push for similar legal activity elsewhere. Journalism student David Schick (who was last seen drawing the ire of Georgia State Attorney General Sam Olens over the release of public documents) has the story.

In a ruling earlier this month, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals set a precedent of allowing state officials to consider the purpose of a citizens’ public records request before handing over documents… Continue reading “Wisconsin Court Broadens FOI Exception, Allowing Government Agencies To Deny Requests Based On Perceived Motive”

Not this again. We’ve noted many times in the past that the two popular “print on demand” t-shirt/merchandise operations online, CafePress and Zazzle, too frequently seem to quickly take down content based on bogus legal threats. Last year, after Zazzle caved in to threats from Homeland Security and the NSA over parody logos, a lawsuit was filed by Dan McCall, whose designs were taken down. The geniuses in the US government realized they were in trouble and admitted that there is no violation in parody logos.

Jerad and Amanda Miller had lived in Nevada for only five months, but the couple quickly established political ties in their new state before gunning down two police officers and a bystander in Las Vegas.

The couple each claimed in social media that they moved from Indiana to support the gubernatorial campaign of David Lory VanDerBeek, who said he had spoken to them five times at campaign events and communicated with them through social media and text messages, although not for at least two months.   Continue reading “The Millers and the Bundy Ranch”

Alasdair Macleod the other day compared the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to the empire of Genghis Khan whose name in English is just Great Leader. The Mongol Empire reached its height under his grandson Kublai Khan. The Mongol Empire combined economic and military power into the hands of one man. The modern SCO works cooperatively as a competitor to NATO and the European Union. Ankara, the capitol of Turkey, is 4,806 miles (7,734.5 kilometers)  from Shanghai. Yet the Turkish government is exploring membership in the SCO because their EU acceptance is stalled and the EU looks a lot less attractive. Who wants to wind up like Greece anyway? Doctors and nurses work for months without paychecks. They’ve had riots just about every week for 150 weeks.   Continue reading “Comparing The Shanghai Cooperation Organization To The Mongol Empire”

Ellie Kinnaird’s interpretation of the Second Amendment (“2nd Amendment never said right to bear arms was absolute,” DN, May 27) is an interesting work of fiction, but its basis in historical precedent and established jurisprudence couldn’t be more mistaken.

Ms. Kinnaird’s fantasy vaguely refers to an 1875 Supreme Court case wherein she alleges “that the Second Amendment applies to the government, not an individual gun owner.” A closer reading of the 1875 Supreme Court case United States v Cruikshank affirms what Americans have long known: that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right neither granted nor revocable by the government. To wit: “The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.”   Continue reading “Militia means you and me”

A Tennessee police chief gets caught misbehaving, so does a strung out Pennsylvania deputy, and a San Diego husband and wife cop team go down for dealing. Let’s get to it:

In Graysville, Tennessee, the Graysville police chief was arrested last Monday on charges he was improperly disposing of seized vehicles and dipping into seized cash. Police Chief Jason Erik Redden is accused of either taking for himself or returning to the original owner three of the vehicles, and is also being held responsible for $4,128 in missing seized cash and fees paid to the department. He is charged with seven counts of misconduct in office, two counts of theft over $1,000, and one count of theft under $500.   Continue reading “This Week’s Corrupt Cops Stories”
