Its Tactical – by Kevin Reeve

I’ve been asked several times since the Boston Marathon Bombing about how to manage risk in a large crowd environment. One answer is simple: Unless you are absolutely required to be in attendance, AVOID large crowded environments. Of course, when there are times when you have limited choice and must venture into that environment, then use good habits of situational awareness and adopt a “bias towards action.”   Continue reading “How To Be Safe in Crowds: Adopting a Bias Towards Action”

Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- In 2008, Brian L. Frye published the seminal paper on the history of United States v. Miller, the single most important second amendment case before U.S. V. Heller.

While Miller no longer holds as much significance in second amendment cases as it used to, the way in which the government manipulated the case in order to deprive American citizens of their second amendment rights deserves detailed study.   Continue reading “UNITED STATES V. MILLER: How the Second Amendment Was Subverted”

Please tell me why we still allow this to take place. Our government just murdered 15 civilians in another country. If someone did that to us, it would be considered an act of war.

(Reuters) – Fifteen people on their way to a wedding in Yemen were killed in an air strike after their party was mistaken for an al Qaeda convoy, local security officials said on Thursday.   Continue reading “Air strike kills 15 civilians in Yemen by mistake: officials”

President John Kennedy, his brother Robert and Martin Luther King Jr. all said No to Israel and her wars but they did not live long. I would like to celebrate three men as heroes of the 21st century who resoundingly  said No to Israel and her wars and lived to tell about it. These men literally saved us from World War III.

The first of these men defeated the Israeli army in 2006 when Israel invaded Lebanon. Hassan Nasrallah became the leader of Hezbollah in 1991 after his predecessor was killed by an Israeli airstrike. He lost one son to an Israeli military operation in southern Lebanon in 1997. Nasrallah is noted for his fiery speeches and ability to organize political support. This latter fact helped him enormously in the 2006 Lebanon war against Israel. He had fewer than 3,000 regular fighters and some volunteers and 200 or so Iranian advisers. The President of Iran had a PhD in civil engineering and must have been of some support in the construction of those underground fortifications.   Continue reading “Three Men Who Said No To Israel And Lived”

If this photo does not speak volumes about the calamitous  effects related to reckless ‘nuclear testing’, then mere words are impotent in describing what really happens in the wake of such atomic explosions.

“When Prometheus stole fire from heaven, Zeus took vengeance by presenting Pandora to Epimetheus, Prometheus’ brother. With her, Pandora was given a beautiful jar – with instructions not to open it under any circumstance. Impelled by her curiosity (given to her by the gods), Pandora opened it, and all evil contained therein escaped and spread over the earth. She hastened to close the container, but the whole contents had escaped, except for one thing that lay at the bottom – the Spirit of Hope named Elpis.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The fired chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander was expected Thursday in federal court after the aide’s arrest on probable cause for possession and distribution of child pornography, authorities said.

Ryan Loskarn was a rising star who had spent the past decade working his way up to increasingly important posts in the U.S. House and then the Senate.

According to a filing with the U.S. District Court in Washington Thursday, police used a ram to enter Loskarn’s home the day before, and noticed that Loskarn put something on the ledge outside his window. It turned out to a portable hard drive with videos depicting child pornography, according to the filing.   Continue reading “Fired US Sen. Alexander staffer expected in court”

Fig Trees and Vineyards – by Richard Edmondson

It’s kind of one of those pictures that are “worth a thousand words,” don’t you think? What you’re looking at is Obama onstage with media mogul and Israeli dual national Haim Saban, who has stated previously, “I’m a one issue guy, and my issue is Israel.” The photo was taken last weekend at the Saban Forum, held in Washington. During the event Saban and Obama appeared together for what was billed as a “conversation” on the Middle East, but basically it was a one-on-one press conference—with Saban doing the grilling and Obama doing the answering. Do the facial expressions in the photo, the body language, suggest anything to you—like for instance which of the two figures is dominant and which is submissive?   Continue reading “Who is the Boss and Who is the Servant in this Photo?”

Excerpted from KVOA: The News 4 Tucson Investigators have uncovered exclusive information about an illegal immigrant on the job, with a badge and gun, working as a law enforcement officer in southern Arizona.

The investigation in this case began when a man applied for a visa to stay here in the United States.   Continue reading “Illegal Alien Found Working As Cop”

He implies yours were too. Therefore, we should all be more sympathetic. Here is Joe:

Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that some of his ancestors came to the United States illegally and said it’s fruitless to compare the immigration system of the 1800s to today’s.   Continue reading “Smilin’ Joe Biden says his ancestors were illegal immigrants”

Last week, we posted an article about a 1912 book
of Jewish Genealogy written in German. A Slovakian reader
kindly translated the entry on the Rothschilds who spearheaded the
NWO and were considered “the king of the Jews.”
Alas, no smoking guns but it does describe their progenitors,
their wealth and how they were perceived 100-years-ago.   Continue reading “Meyer Amschel Rothschild was an Orphan”

Town Hall – by Katie Pavlich

In a letter sent late Wednesday, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa reminded Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that obstructing a congressional investigation is a crime.

Issa’s Committee has been looking into the details of how Obamacare was implemented, along with the major problems with Healthcare.gov and has requested a number of documents from HHS, none of which he’s received. The documents requested pertain to companies hired by HHS to build and operate Healthcare.gov.   Continue reading “Issa to Sebelius on Healthcare.gov Probe: Failing to Turn Over Info is Criminal Obstruction of Justice”
