Nj.com is running a poll.   As with most polls concerning Second Amendment supporters, it is running strongly in favor of the right to be armed.   What is a little unusual about this poll is that it directly connects the recent Supreme Court decision not to hear the Drake case from New Jersey, that was all about being able to carry a weapon outside of the home, to the poll.  What is nasty about the New Jersey decision is  U.S. District Judge William Walls simply claiming that:

White House Dossier – by Keith Koffler

Because what difference at this point does it make, dammit!

During a question and answer session at the Ford Foundation in New York today, ABC’s Robin Roberts – who serves as the go-to gal for President Obama when he needs a nice, relaxing interview – practiced pitching softballs to the batter on deck, Hillary Clinton, offering her a chance to diss the GOP Benghazi investigation.   Continue reading “Hillary: Enough Benghazi Investigations”

In a surprise disclosure today that is sure to impact the scope and direction of the upcoming select committee’s investigation into the Benghazi massacre, investigators say that U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. has emerged as a key player in the scandal. So far after a year and a half since the massacre took place, Schumer’s name has never been connected to any of the events on the night a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were slaughtered by Islamist terrorists at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.   Continue reading “Sen.

Thirty years after Denison University student Laura Carter became an unintended casualty of a Columbus gang war, one of the men convicted in her death learned he soon will be a free man.

The Ohio Parole Board decided yesterday that Gordon Newlin, 60, will be released from state prison on June 18 after serving 25 years of a possible life sentence for his role in the killing of Carter on the Near East Side on April 17, 1982.   Continue reading “Student’s convicted killer wins parole”

You seriously don’t want to mess with Paris Ainsworth.

There’s a reason the Detroit woman’s siblings now call the grandmother of four “Rambo,” and you don’t want to question the validity of the moniker.

You just don’t.

Here’s how it all went down:   Continue reading “Granny ‘Rambo’ Fires When Ready. And, Boy, Was She Ready”

WASHINGTON — In the name of protecting Americans’ rights against government abuses, the House of Representatives voted Wednesday to hold a former IRS official in contempt of Congress for asserting her constitutional right against self-incrimination.

Lois Lerner, who led the IRS division in charge of approving applications from political social welfare groups for tax-exempt status, twice invoked the Fifth Amendment in refusing to testify to the House Oversight Committee beyond asserting her innocence.   Continue reading “Congress Holds Lois Lerner In Contempt In IRS Targeting Probe”

With the situation in the Ukraine escalating and the US continuing to call for sanctions against Russia’s financial and political elite, Vladimir Putin is now not only mobilizing tens of thousands of troops on his Western front, but sending intercontinental strategic bombers across the Pacific Ocean. According to the US military, it’s the first time since the cold war that Russia’s incursions have come this close to America.   Continue reading “Russian Strategic Bombers On West Coast: Did They Take Down Los Angeles Air Traffic Control Systems?”

Bangor, Maine- It was only weeks ago when with the news of Cliven Bundy and his ranch being surrounded by federal agents, specifically the Bureau of Land Management, I found my way from Bangor, Maine to Cliven Bundy’s ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada.

I had several preconceived ideas of what the ranch in Bunkerville would be like.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Over the next month, two of President Barack Obama’s closest first-term advisers will spill insider details on the administration’s handling of the early days of the recession, the White House’s cautious response to Syria and the genesis of clandestine talks with Iran.

The memoirs are from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and ex-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and the latest examples of confidants signed to big book contracts to examine a presidency not yet over and policy decisions still being implemented.   Continue reading “Obama’s top advisers set to spill insider details”

Raising Competent Kids in an Incompetent WorldOrganic Prepper 

It’s probably no surprise that the young people of today aren’t particularly independent.  Not only does the “education” system take great pains to mold them into follow-the-herd, terrified automatons, society in general doesn’t force them to do much for themselves either.

My oldest daughter recently came home for summer vacation and we discussed her first year of college.  She told me that her younger sister, age 13, was much more mature and competent than many of the kids in her student apartment building.  ”I had to show a bunch of them how to do laundry and they didn’t even know how to make a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese,” she said.  Apparently they were in awe of her ability to cook actual food that did not originate in a pouch or box, her skills at changing a tire, her knack for making coffee using a French press instead of a coffee maker, and her ease at operating a washing machine and clothes dryer.  She says that even though she thought I was being mean at the time I began making her do things for herself, she’s now glad that she possesses those skills.  Hers was also the apartment that had everything needed to solve everyday problems: basic tools, first aid supplies, OTC medicine, and home remedies.   Continue reading “Raising Competent Kids in an Incompetent World”

Virtually every country on Earth will be able to build or acquire drones capable of firing missiles within the next ten years. Armed aerial drones will be used for targeted killings, terrorism and the government suppression of civil unrest. What’s worse, say experts, it’s too late for the United States to do anything about it.   Continue reading “Every Country Will Have Armed Drones Within Ten Years”
