In terms of pure projectable power, there’s never been anything like it. Its military has divided the world — the whole planet — into six “commands.” Its fleet, with 11 aircraft carrier battle groups, rules the seas and has done so largely unchallenged for almost seven decades.

Its Air Force has ruled the global skies, and despite being almost continuously in action for years, hasn’t faced an enemy plane since 1991 or been seriously challenged anywhere since the early 1970s. Continue reading “Why Washington just can’t stop making war”

The New American – by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

Fifty senators are standing together to protect the right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

In a letter addressed to President Barack Obama, the senators enumerated six reasons the president should refuse to present the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) to the Senate for ratification. Among the objections raised by the senatorial signatories is the ambiguity of the treaty, as well as the grant to “foreign sources of authority” the power to “impose judgment or control on the U.S.”   Continue reading “50 Senators Warn Obama: We Will Not Ratify UN Arms Treaty”

More than 10 months after Adam Lanza massacred 26 students and faculty and committed suicide at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, questions still abound in the midst of conspiracy theories and prolonged speculation. The October 21 edition of The Hartford Courant, which has been following the story closely since the mass murder last December 14, ran an editorial complaining about State Attorney Stephen Sedensky’s delay in releasing the full investigative report, originally expected by the end of June. In the meantime, says the Courant, details continue to leak, feeding “the sick conspiracy mill and prolong[ing] the pain.”   Continue reading “What Do Sandy Hook Investigators Have to Hide?”

More than 700 websites have been created with names playing off of Obamacare or Healthcare.gov, making it likely that some Americans will mistakenly hand over private information to unknown third-parties.

For instance, there is a website — www.obama-care.us — that brands itself as part of the “Obamacare enrollment team,” directs people to an “Obamacare enrollment form” and asks users for their name, address, Social Security number and other contact information. According to a counter at the bottom of the page, more than 3,000 people have visited obama-care.us.   Continue reading “Obamacare launch spawns 700+ cyber-squatters capitalizing on Healthcare.gov, state exchanges”

Gun Owners of America

President Barack Hussein Obama is picking a fight with gun owners once again. As reported by The Blaze on Tuesday:

Right off the bat, I will credit Gary North for putting words together that crystalized this idea in my head.

The rollout of Obamacare is a bomb (O-bomb-a has a new meaning, it appears).

President Barack Obama sought on Monday to limit political damage from the problematic launch of the government website for his signature healthcare law…   Continue reading “Hooray for ObamaCare!”

Wisconsin –-(Ammoland.com)-  The Canadians do law enforcement very similarly to the US–understandable, considering both countries learned their basic law enforcement skills from Mother England.

The biggest difference in US and Canadian law enforcement is that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is a national police force. A Mountie has full police powers anywhere in Canada. If RCMP Constable Smith, who works in Vancouver, British Columbia on the far west coast of his country, is on holiday on Prince Edward Island on the far east coast of his country, he can enforce Canadian law.   Continue reading “When The Few Control All You Lose Everything”

Governments and private entities throughout the world spent $359 billion last year – or nearly $1 billion per day – to prevent global warming even though the Earth’s temperature has remained virtually flat for the past 17 years.

But even $1 billion a day is apparently not enough, according to the Climate Policy Initiative’s (CPI) “Global Landscape of Climate Finance 2013” report released Tuesday, exactly one month after NASA researchers recorded a new record for sea ice in the Antarctic.   Continue reading “$1Billion/Day To Prevent Global Warming As Antarctic Sea Ice Hits Record High”

We The People Of The United States – by Miri

Progressives love statistics.  That’s because progressives lie.  We know, as Mark Twain knew, that statistics lie; and progressives love nothing more than lies and propaganda.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.            Mark Twain

Examples of lying statistics that progressives embrace are those that “prove” that racial profiling exists in traffic stops, that minority groups suffer from voter suppression, and that blacks get inferior health care, all because of racism.   Continue reading “Eric Holder Says Mass Shootings Up 300% Since Obama Took Office”

China and India combined have more coal-burning energy plants than the rest of the world, and China has more than India. Japanese scientists are openly complaining that the almost 13,000 foot Mt. Fuji is coated with toxic mercury from China’s coal burning plants.

Some Chinese scientists have challenged that by explaining Mt. Fuji’s high mercury counts could be from other sources, but Japanese scientists have noted the mercury count is highest when the air currents are westerly from the Chinese mainland. They say they are lowest when Pacific air currents come through.   Continue reading “China’s industrial pollution is so bad that it’s dumping toxic mercury on Japan’s Mount Fuji”
