A small gun rights rally at the state Capitol Saturday ended in a big hubbub when two demonstrators were taken away by Texas Department of Public Safety officers.

Both men are part of Open Carry Texas and had black powder revolvers in holsters, said Victoria Montgomery, a spokeswoman for the advocacy group.

A DPS spokesman would not release the names of the men, but Travis County jail records confirmed that Justin Delosh, 30, was charged with criminal trespass with a deadly weapon. The name of the second man could not be confirmed with jail records Saturday evening.   Continue reading “Pair at Capitol charged with criminal trespass with a deadly weapon”

From time to time, we tend to release flatulence in public (aka fart), which can be embarrassing if people realize you’re the one who released the stink bomb. These bombs have many names such as the silent but deadly, and loud but calm. Anyway, what if you could free up your flatulence in public without the smell causing mass hysteria? That’s where Shreddies comes into play, a new type of underwear that has the power to neutralize odor released from your buttocks.   Continue reading “Meet Shreddies, the underwear that neutralizes your farts”

Well, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department isn’t using an oracle yet, but it is getting one step closer to Minority Report-style crime predicting. The department has become the latest agency to use big data analytics and data mining to prevent crime by staying one step ahead of criminals. According to IBM, the company has entered into a partnership with the Fort Lauderdale PD to integrate new data and analytics tools into everyday crime fighting. The new projects will use pattern recognition and anomaly detection tech on existing records like 911 calls, crime records, and building permit activity.   Continue reading “Some Florida Police are using Data to Predict Crime”

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 26 (UPI) — Students in San Jose, Calif., can no longer hold car washes to raise for money for school events because city officials say they endanger the environment.

Cheerleaders at Lincoln High School had to cancel a scheduled Oct. 20 car wash after a visit from the city’s Environmental Services Department, the San Jose Mercury News reported Friday.   Continue reading “Student Fundraising Car Wash Banned over Environmental Concerns”

Excerpted from Campus Reform: The Kansas University (KU) professor who was placed on administrative leave after calling for the death of NRA members’ children returned to work today — but not to teach.

KU announced Thursday that Peter Guth would return to work, but not to the classroom.”We do have a lot of work to do on assessment as we prepare for various levels of accreditation, and that’s some of the work he will be doing,” said William Allen White School of Journalism Dean Ann Brill, according to the University Daily Kansan, KU’s student newspaper.

Apache Revolver_001Guns and Ammo – by S.P. Fjestad

If you’re interested in older and unusual European revolver variations, this Apache centerfire revolver might be exactly what you’re looking for. This single action six-shot is chambered for 7.6 mm cal., and when the bullet leaves the chamber, it passes through a hole on the left side of the upper frame—eliminating the need for a barrel.

This gun’s ability to protect someone isn’t just measured in firepower, however. The retractable knuckle duster grip could come in handy if a hand-to-hand fight ensues, and if that isn’t enough, the folding triangular blade can also be used for cutting and stabbing an adversary.   Continue reading “Three Weapons in One: Apache Centerfire Revolver”

We unfortunately live in the age of surveillance, when agencies like the  NSA and FBI push and cross the boundaries of unconstitutional actions.

This means that everybody needs to take steps to protect their data and. Obviously, there is no such thing as total protection, and a determined individual or organization with a lot of time and money on their hands can break any security if they want.   Continue reading “3 Ways To Avoid NSA Detection On The Internet”

The Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges

Mike and Chantel Sacket, from  Priest Lake, Idaho, were preparing an 0.63 acre plot of land for the construction of their new home when an order by the EPA was issued to remove piles of fill material and replant the vegetation that they had removed from their property. The couple paid $23,000 for their property.

The order from the EPA was issued after the couple had gone through the process of acquiring all of the necessary permits to begin construction. Failure to comply with the EPA order would have resulted in a daily fine of up to $37,500.   Continue reading “The EPA Legally Controls All Water, Food Production and Private Property”

Protester at anti-NSA rally in Washington DCThe Guardian – by Jim Newell

Thousands gathered by the Capitol reflection pool in Washington on Saturday to march, chant, and listen to speakers and performers as part of Stop Watching Us, a gathering to protest “mass surveillance” under NSA programs first disclosed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Billed by organizers as “the largest rally yet to protest mass surveillance”, Stop Watching Us was sponsored by an unusually broad coalition of left- and right-wing groups, including everything from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Green Party, Color of Change and Daily Kos to the Libertarian Party, FreedomWorks and Young Americans for Liberty.   Continue reading “Thousands gather in Washington for anti-NSA ‘Stop Watching Us’ rally”

There is no doubt that President Obama’s health care system promises to fundamentally transform America. It’s been touted as the saving grace of the working class.

But how feasible is it really?

We know it’s essentially a wealth redistribution scheme that takes money from one group of people in the form of forced tax payments, only to shift that money into the pockets of those who didn’t earn it in the form of government subsidies to their health care premiums.   Continue reading “Prelude to Disaster: The Coming Instantaneous Collapse of Obamacare Services”

National Review – by Wesley J. Smith

My wife, the syndicated San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra J. Saunders, has learned that at least 500,000 Californians may lose their health insurance next year — and that’s a conservative estimate. From her Token Conservative blog:

According to this link as of December 2012, there were 491,977 covered lives in individual health care plans regulated by the state Department Insurance that are not grandfathered under the Affordable Care Act. (If they bought a plan after March 2010, their coverage is not grandfathered.) This is a 2012 number, but if the number of people with private coverage hasn’t changed much in the last ten months, that’s half a million Californians who will lose their coverage.   Continue reading “500,000 Californians Lose Health Policies”

“Fasten your seatbacks and tray tables in their full upright and locked position. We’ll be on the ground shortly.” That is the final warning aboard the aircraft known as America, which will be using runway 39A to taxi to the terminal of tyranny. Most of the passengers aboard the luxury aircraft have no clue to what awaits them, as the captain and crew have lulled the majority into a false trance of tranquility. The few aboard the aircraft who were aware of their final destination tried to warn the other unsuspecting passengers, who have been immersed in their personal electronic devices, sleeping or watching the airline version of the corporate media, the mouthpieces for their fascist facilitators.   Continue reading “Silencing dissent by SWATing messengers of truth”
