There are a number of distinctly American symbols that evoke feelings of pride, nationalism, and patriotism. There is the Constitution. There are monuments like Mount Rushmore, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Jefferson Memorial. There are structures like the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell. There are buildings like the White House and the Capitol. There are also things that there are many of: American flags, bald eagles, dollar bills, and images of Uncle Sam and the Great Seal of the United States.   Continue reading “The Cult of the Uniform”

Connecticut state police plan to release a trove of documents on Friday tied to their investigation of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School last year that killed 20 children and six adults, the agency said on its website.

The release comes about a month after the state Division of Criminal Justice released a report on the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre concluding that the gunman, Adam Lanza, 20, had acted alone, and that his motive may never be known.     Continue reading “Connecticut police to release Newtown massacre documents Friday”

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. – The way Donna Bennett sees it, the United States of America is in need of a little tender loving care these days.

Bennett, a former middle school math teacher, senses that too many Americans don’t have a proper understanding or appreciation of the people, ideas and founding documents that made this nation the envy of the world. She sees evidence of that by the way our elected leaders are behaving in Washington, D.C.   Continue reading “Former teachers’ ‘Freedom Camp’ helps kids appreciate America, since many modern educators are hostile to U.S.”

A short, slender man speaking in a hoarse voice pleaded not guilty Thursday to 11 federal charges, including the murder of a Transportation Security Administration screener and the wounding of three other people during a rampage at Los Angeles International Airport last month.

The charges could bring him the death penalty. The decision on whether the government will seek the ultimate penalty will take a long time and will ultimately rest with U.S. Attorney General Erik Holder.   Continue reading “Suspect in LA Airport Shooting Pleads Not Guilty”

WASHINGTON — Here comes the ObamaCare tax bill.

The cost of President Obama’s massive health-care law will hit Americans in 2014 as new taxes pile up on their insurance premiums and on their income-tax bills.

Most insurers aren’t advertising the ObamaCare taxes that are added on to premiums, opting instead to discretely pass them on to customers while quietly lobbying lawmakers for a break.   Continue reading “New ObamaCare fees coming in 2014”

Last Resistance – by Philip Hodges

In what universe would anyone describe Obamacare as anything other than a colossal failure? Failure always abounds when the government sees fit to involve itself in the formerly-free market. The government drags along with it an exorbitant increase in prices and a significant drop in quality of product. That’s what’s been happening with the healthcare industry for decades now. And healthcare.gov is the embodiment of everything that’s wrong with the government’s penchant for central economic planning.   Continue reading “Pelosi: Obamacare is “a Glorious Thing””

I’ve had it…

I’ve had it, I’ve had enough. Through a “long chain of abuses”, I now recognize that my government has turned from a democratic republic, into a fascist socialist nightmare verging on tyranny. They tell me that I’m wrong because I don’t wish to pay a tax on my behavior, that I cannot allow my money to be used for the murder of the unborn and the free birth control of the hedonists. I see the future, and the future is now, I will have a choice between spending money on food, or health insurance? What kind of a choice is that? Who Benefits? The choice to ‘redistribute’ my wealth, into the hands of those who vote for a living, instead of those who work for a living. This is not a choice, this is the Tyranny of the Majority, this is coercion, this is blackmail, this is the end of the Republic and the fundamental transformation through the animal passion of COVETING, a sin. Furthermore, this is destruction of my America. I will not stand for it.   Continue reading “Had enough?”

A top financial advisor, worried that Obamacare, the NSA spying scandal and spiraling national debt is increasing the chances for a fiscal and social disaster, is recommending that Americans prepare a “bug-out bag” that includes food, a gun and ammo to help them stay alive.

David John Marotta, a Wall Street expert and financial advisor and Forbes contributor, said in a note to investors, “Firearms are the last item on the list, but they are on the list. There are some terrible people in this world. And you are safer when your trusted neighbors have firearms.”   Continue reading “Be prepared: Wall Street advisor recommends guns, ammo for protection in collapse”
