The measure got a majority of yes votes in the unofficial count — 1,645 to 1,494, according tribal spokeswoman Tony Red Cloud, who texted a photo of the handwritten results Tuesday night to The Associated Press.   Continue reading “SD reservation alcohol vote too close to call”

After the public release of a document in which he suggested that Occupiers and libertarians pose a domestic terror threat to Concord, New Hampshire, the city’s police chief has backed away from the claim.

In an application to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeking more than $250,000 to purchase an armored police vehicle, the capital city of New Hampshire specified the local branch of the Occupy movement and the Free State Project, an effort to recruit “liberty-loving people” to relocate to the Granite State, as potential sources of terrorist action.   Continue reading “N.H.

Political CorrectnessEnd of the American Dream- by Michael Snyder

If you say the “wrong thing” in America today, you could be penalized, fired or even taken to court.  Political correctness is running rampant, and it is absolutely destroying this nation.  In his novel1984, George Orwell imagined a future world where speech was greatly restricted.  He called that the language that the totalitarian state in his novel created “Newspeak”, and it bears a striking resemblance to the political correctness that we see in America right now.    Continue reading “19 Shocking Examples Of How Political Correctness Is Destroying America”

Bashar al Assad is a devil and needs to die; he has water, which Netanyahu’s Israeli’s are getting thirsty for.  Or you can go to any card-carrying member of the Jewish Press and hear how Natanyahu and armed incursions and bombs are the answer to negotiating shared water rights with Assad’s thirsty people. Or hear a pin drop. Assad’s country has the water, making Assad the villain we must hate and hang like Saddam. America and Israel’s vilifying, 96%-Jewish-owned press makes any Arabs with water American-Israeli cannon fodder. Oil does not water crops, water GMO’s and animals or drink down too well.   Continue reading “Syria’s Bashar al Assad Dead or Alive, Your Water’s Comin’ With Me”

Arlington, Texas — A family with a passion for gardening and conscious living was raided by the Arlington SWAT team early Friday morning. All 8 adults present in the house were initially handcuffed at the gunpoint of heavily armed SWAT officers, including the mother of a 22 month old and a two week old baby who was separated from her children during the raid. I had a chance to interview Quinn who gave me his first hand account of the raid and the background behind it all.   Continue reading “Family Raided by SWAT Team for “Weeds””

What an army of rabble-rousers, economists (those banished from the mainstream media), and bloggers, including your humble servant, have been hammering on for years, a study by the San Francisco Fed now finally confessed: Quantitative Easing didn’t do a heck of a lot of good for the real economy.

Whatever it did for Wall Street, and however it shifted wealth to the upper echelon of society, and however it destroyed what little remained of the free markets, and whatever distortions, misallocations, and bubbles it created, QE had “at best,” – emphasis mine – “moderate effects on economic growth,” the study said.   Continue reading “The Fed’s Confession: We Can Avoid A Crash At The End Of QE If Everybody Believes That Everybody Believes In A Mirage….”

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel released 26 Palestinian inmates, including many convicted in grisly killings, on the eve of long-stalled Mideast peace talks, angering families of those slain by the prisoners, who were welcomed as heroes in the West Bank and Gaza.

Buses carrying the inmates departed the Ayalon prison in central Israel late Tuesday, a nighttime release that was aimed at preventing the spectacle of prisoners flashing victory signs as has happened in the past. Relatives of the victims, many with their hands painted red to symbolize what they say is the blood on the hands of the inmates, held protests throughout the day, and some protesters tried briefly to block the buses from leaving.   Continue reading “Israel frees 26 Palestinian prisoners before talks”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio warned Tuesday that if Congress doesn’t pass immigration overhaul legislation, President Barack Obama may act on his own to legalize the 11 million immigrants already in the U.S. illegally.

Rubio, a potential presidential candidate and an author of the sweeping immigration bill that passed the Senate in June but stalled in the House, noted that the Obama administration took action a year ago to give legal status to many immigrants brought here illegally as children. He said without congressional action, the president might well be tempted to do the same for everyone else here illegally, too.   Continue reading “Rubio warns Obama could act to legalize immigrants”

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Air Force unit that operates one-third of the nation’s land-based nuclear missiles has failed a safety and security inspection, marking the second major setback this year for a force charged with the military’s most sensitive mission, the general in charge of the nuclear air force told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Lt. Gen. James M. Kowalski, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, said a team of “relatively low-ranking” airmen failed one exercise as part of a broader inspection, which began last week and ended Tuesday. He said that for security reasons he could not be specific about the team or the exercise.   Continue reading “Air Force nuclear unit fails key security test”

After trying to apply for a customer service job at eBay in my area and reading their privacy policy, I have to wonder, which part is private? Needless to say, I didn’t apply to them after reading this and even though I have never done business with them, I will most certainly never do business with them in the future as well.

I urge others to read eBay’s privacy policy and tell me exactly which part is private? My thoughts on each of the subject headings are highlighted in bold underneath the paragraphs.   Continue reading “eBay’s Privacy Policy is actually Public Policy”
