WILLIAMS, Ariz. –  In the northern Arizona city of Williams, restaurant patrons don’t automatically get a glass of water anymore. Residents caught watering lawns or washing cars with potable water can be fined. Businesses are hauling water from outside town to fill swimming pools, and building permits have been put on hold because there isn’t enough water to accommodate development.

Officials in the community about 60 miles from the Grand Canyon’s South Rim have clamped down on water use and declared a crisis amid a drought that is quickly drying up nearby reservoirs and forcing the city to pump its only two wells to capacity.   Continue reading “Arizona town near Grand Canyon imposes severe water restrictions amid drought”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Michigan officials want to repopulate Detroit with an aggressive immigration program — a move critics call misguided and unworkable.

“This ranks right up there with Ford’s expectation that the Edsel was going to be a big seller,” said Bob Dane, communications director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform.   Continue reading “Detroit visas won’t save sinking city, critics say”

Are you happy?

I mean right this second. How do you feel? I’m talking about something totally unrelated to the events in your life – I’m asking how you feel inside, irrespective to your job, your love life, and your finances. I’m asking about your overall way of walking through the world. I’m talking about the ability to seize upon those moments of unexpected beauty or joy, and better your day with them.   Continue reading “The Happiness Project”

“The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory.”

Befehl ist befehl means orders are orders which is the usual explanation given for barbaric behavior by Nazis on trial after WWII. The malefactors were hanged who attempted this defense yet this quaint notion is the bedrock of all US police behavior and explanation for its excess.   Continue reading “Befehl ist Befehl: Why Cops Are Morally Wrong”

The United States is being hypocritical in its response to the armed clashes between Kiev and pro-Russian groups in eastern Ukraine, former Congressman Ron Paul wrote in a new column.

In the column, published by the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, the former libertarian lawmaker questioned the American role in the conflict unfolding in Ukraine, criticizing the US for blaming recent outbreaks of violence on Russian sympathizers rather than the Ukrainian military.   Continue reading “Ron Paul: Why is US involved in Ukraine?”

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in GRASS VALLEY , CA. it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.

Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.

One nurse took her copy to Missouri ..   Continue reading “Old Man”

I’ve never been exceptionally good at one particular thing.  I have often considered myself a jack of all trades  and master of none.  I know enough about many different things and I apply that knowledge of what I do know in a combination that somehow allows me to succeed.  I don’t think I’m the best out there, in fact, I know there are people out there that are more capable, knowledgeable, stronger, and more skilled than myself.   People who can write better blogs, people who can plan better attacks, people who can ruck more pounds.   There are even those who can drink more beer than me.  Over the years though, comparable to my military peers, the one thing I have learned that I can actually do slightly better than most is be sneaky.   Continue reading “Sneaky”

Control of children from pre-kindergarten age is how President Barack Obama is making the Fundamental Transformation of America a fait accompli.

Depressing and demoralizing to know that today’s children are growing up under Marxist rule and that Marxism has been in the classroom for decades.

But it is not yesterday or the day before, but today where the tables can be turned, and being depressed, demoralized and giving up is never the answer.   Continue reading “Taking the Country Back starts with Taking the Children Back”

Who knows more about government corruption than Mexico? It has been battling the drug cartels for generations. The problem is bribery and fear. Cartels and local drug lords bribe cops to alert them when a raid is to take place. If the cops don’t take a bribe, the next step is to threaten their lives or those of the family. Subsequently, Mexico has failed to address their biggest issue: roving bands of murdering gangs. They have used the military to try and come to grips with it, but the government is incapable of moving quickly, silently.

The Obama administration, shortly after taking control of the federal bureaucracy, changed student privacy laws so that government can track their progress from “cradle to career,” monitoring everything from math and reading skills to values, opinions and attitudes.

More and more people don’t like that. And they are just saying “no” to the government.

It is the amount of student data being collected that ballooned under the new Common Core national education standards, fueled fears of abuse and sparked a growing backlash against the testing system used to scoop up highly personal information.   Continue reading “Education? No, It’s About Data-Mining”
