People walk past a Best Buy store in New YorkYahoo News – by Shelly Banjo and Drew FitzGerald, Wall Street Journal

Best Buy Co. on Thursday became the latest retailer to chime in with weak holiday results. Like other chains, the electronics retailer blamed the race to offer the deepest discounts, a game of brinkmanship that hurt profit margins and held back revenue.

But there is a deeper malaise at work: A long-term change in shopper habits has reduced store traffic—perhaps permanently—and shifted pricing power away from malls and big-box retailers.   Continue reading “Stores Confront New World of Reduced Shopper Traffic”

Officials in West Virginia claim that the water in parts of the state is now safe after a chemical spill left 300,000 people without water, but local residents aren’t so sure.  A reader graciously provided his eyewitness assessment and opinion of the situation:

I have first hand knowledge this water is not safe. For one, it smells very strongly of licorice. It has an off color; a blue hue. I will never drink it again.   Continue reading “Are Water Filters Effective Against the Chemical in the West Virginia Water Supply?”

As Americans, we have learned to place a tremendous emphasis on our security, especially in the days subsequent to the September 11th attacks. Many of us, however, have very little knowledge of, or complete ignorance about the magnitude of destruction and annihilation that can be caused by Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). For those not in the know, it is sometimes called a transient disturbance, such as a short burst of electromagnetic energy. It may occur in the form of a radiated, electric or magnetic field or conducted electrical current depending on the source.   Continue reading “Is New York City Ready for a Dirty Bomb? – An Open Letter to All Utility Companies”

In a shocking move that makes counter-terrorism measures worthless, the Obama Administration is working to secure the “resettling” of some 30,000 Syrian Islamists within the United States. Syria’s civil war has displaced thousands of people. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that thousands of Syrians need new countries of residence, and the International Rescue Committee is making sure this happens. With this, the IRC made the audacious statement through Vice President for Public Policy Sharon Waxman, calling on the “US and other countries to open their doors to vulnerable Syrian refugees and notes that resettlement must be an integral part of the humanitarian response.” Forget all counter-terrorism measures that are put into place for the protection of this country. The Muslim Obama Administration will make sure that Syrian Islamists have a new home in America, that no jihadi will be turned away.   Continue reading “Obama To Pave Way For 30,000 Syrian Islamists To “Resettle” In America”

nullify-obamacareFreedom Outpost – by Joshua Cook

Republican lawmakers led a rally to gain support for a bill that would essentially kill Obamacare. State senator Tom Davis (R – District 46) believes that not only will the bill pass, it will become model legislation for other states to eliminate Obamacare.

Matt Kibbe, President of FreedomWorks, said, “I’m honored to be at the South Carolina state house where the front lines in the fight against Obamacare is happening right now. We can nullify Obamacare, we can defund it, we can stop it, but it has to happen from the bottom up. It has to be done in states like South Carolina that is leading the fight. Already 36 states have refused to implement Obamacare exchanges. 21 states have refused to accept the Medicaid money. I’m asking other states to take on this fight after South Carolina succeeds to stop Obamacare in its tracks.”   Continue reading “South Carolina Expects to Pass Model Legislation to Gut Obamacare – FreedomWorks Asks Other States to Follow”

Tennessee nullification legislation of Obamacare and all federal gun laws is being pushed by lawmakers in the Volunteer State. On one hand lawmakers are pushing new legislation, that if passed, would gut the implementation of Obamacare. On the other hand legislation that is an expansion of the 2009 Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act was introduced yesterday, which is designed to protect Tennessee citizens from Congress’ violations of the Second and Tenth Amendment.   Continue reading “Tennessee Nullification of Obamacare & All Federal Gun Laws Legislation Introduced”

Despite your best efforts at prevention, sometimes the flu just happens.  If you work with the public or have children in school, you and your family will be exposed, and sometimes those viruses are simply tougher than your immune system. Transmission rates are increasing to a worrisome point, according to the CDC.

When someone in your home is sick, one of your first goals is not to pass the illness on to other family members. The other priority is treating the sick people in the house with remedies that strengthen them rather than weaken them.   Continue reading “Flu Happens: Here’s What You Can Do About it Naturally”

The quick actions of an armed citizen stopped a gun-wielding man in his tracks at a Dollar General store.

The gunman walked into the store in Orrville, Alabama, and began waving his pistol around. He ordered a customer and a cashier towards the break room at gunpoint.

It was the gunman’s unlucky day: that customer happened to be armed. He pulled out his concealed handgun and fired one shot into the gunman’s chest.   Continue reading “Armed Citizen Shoots Gun-Wielding Man in Dollar General”

In a photo provided Ron Slater, the helmet of U.S. Olympic goaltender Jesse Vetter shows its former design, which features a portion of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, with the words "We the People", the Olympic rings and her last name. International Olympic Committee rules ban any "form of publicity or propaganda, commercial or otherwise" on the athlete's uniform. Slater said that he repainted the helmet, which now conforms to the rules. Photo: Ron Slater, AP / Ron SlaterFox News – by Allan Muir (Sports Illustrated)

Imagine for a moment, that you are at the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning, getting your veggies and minding your own business. Suddenly, a creepy guy with a comb-over approaches you. “Hey, there.  I bet you like long walks on the beach and strawberry margaritas, baby.”

WASHINGTON — President Obama, responding to a clamorous debate over the government’s broad surveillance practices, announced on Friday that he will require intelligence agencies to obtain permission from a secret court before tapping into a vast storehouse of telephone data, and will ultimately move that data out of the hands of the government.   Continue reading “Obama Calls for Overhaul of N.S.A.’s Phone Data Collection Program”

Writing for the Atlantic Council, a prominent think tank based in Washington DC, Harlan K. Ullman warns that an “extraordinary crisis” is needed to preserve the “new world order,” which is under threat of being derailed by non-state actors like Edward Snowden.

The Atlantic Council is considered to be a highly influential organization with close ties to major policy makers across the world. It’s headed up by Gen. Brent Scowcroft, former United States National Security Advisor under U.S. Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush. Snowcroft has also advised President Barack Obama.   Continue reading “Think Tank: “Extraordinary Crisis” Needed to Preserve “New World Order””

Psilocybe mushroomsPsyPost – by Eric W. Dolan

A study of more than 25,000 people under community corrections supervision suggests the use of psychedelic drugs like LSD can keep people out of prison.

The research is the first in 40 years to examine whether drugs like LSD and “magic” mushrooms can help reform criminals.

“Our results provide a notable exception to the robust positive link between substance use and criminal behavior,” the researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine wrote in their study, which was published in the January issue of the Journal of Psychopharmacology.   Continue reading “Take LSD, stay out of prison?

fema camp workersThe Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges

The ignorant and the uniformed want to argue that any belief that Russia poses a dire threat to the freedom and safety of American citizens is nonsense. Many of these people who refuse to recognize the gravity of the times that we live are indeed the products of a dumbed down education system, or, they are so emotionally timid that they hide behind the mask of cognitive dissonance as they continue to deny the truth that is confronting their lying eyes.

Where have all the American men gone? That is an irrelevant question as those who still have a backbone will be forced to stand against all threats, both foreign and domestic while the rest of the so-called men hide under the bed. However, the coming events will clearly demonstrate that what you don’t know can and will bring harm to you and your family.   Continue reading “Enemies, Both Foreign and Domestic, Prepare to Invade America”
