BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – The state social services department is going to strip food stamp benefits from people who are found to have deliberately overspent their balance when the electronic food stamp service was down last month.
The Department of Children and Family Services announced Wednesday that it would seek to disqualify food stamp recipients through the state’s administrative hearing process. Continue reading “State to cut food stamp benefits for overspending”

DENVER — The biggest loser in this year’s Colorado election cycle may have been New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Colorado voters kicked the mayor to the curb again at the ballot box Tuesday, rejecting a proposed statewide income-tax hike heavily financed by Mr. Bloomberg just two months after ushering out two Democratic state senators who backed his gun-control agenda.

Sunnyvale voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a strict gun control measure that has received the attention of supporter outgoing New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and critics from the National Rifle Association.
With all 54 precincts reporting, 66 percent of voters supported Measure C, according to results from the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. Continue reading “Sunnyvale Passes Strict Gun Control Measure C, NRA Vows to Challenge”
When the New York Times revealed that New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio had been an enthusiastic supporter of Nicaragua’s communist Sandinista regime, old arguments from the 1980s were suddenly rekindled, with renewed debate over the nature of that regime. The left once again emerged from the woodwork to insist that the Sandinistas were never bad guys (or even communists) — quite the contrary. The Times quickly published letters-to-the-editor whitewashing the Sandinistas’ tyranny, and one Times’ blogger went so far as to publish a post declaring: “Whatever their failings, the Sandinistas did not impose a repressive regime on their impoverished Central American nation. There was no mass jailing of opponents nor mass execution of opposing soldiers.” Continue reading “Bill de Blasio’s Communist Pals”
Today’s election coverage in the Seattle Times and Seattle P-I.com is more revealing about local and national politics than one might suspect, unless one happens to be in the firearms community where “grand delusions” give way to matter-of-fact reality.
Both news organs report anti-gun Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn trailing anti-gun Sen. Ed Murray by aconsiderable margin, yet declining to concede. Delusion has been part of McGinn’s problem for the past four years, particularly when it comes to firearms and their owners. He pursued a reckless–at-best attempt to dance around state preemption and lost big time to the Second Amendment Foundation, National Rifle Association and their allies. In the process, he did exactly the opposite of what he intended: He set the legal stage for state preemption to be strengthened. Continue reading “Does ‘grand delusion’ define the 2013 election, aftermath?”

A pair of University of Cincinnati researchers has seen the light — a bright, powerful light — and it just might change the future of how building interiors are brightened.
In fact, that light comes directly from the sun. And with the help of tiny, electrofluidic cells and a series of open-air “ducts,” sunlight can naturally illuminate windowless work spaces deep inside office buildings and excess energy can be harnessed, stored and directed to other applications. Continue reading “Bringing Sun’s Light and Energy to Interior Rooms: Innovative Solar Technology May Lead to Interior Lighting Revolution”
Morrisville, NC Mayor Jackie Holcomb attempted to try to find a way to circumvent North Carolina gun laws that went into effect October 1, which expanded the list of places concealed carriers could legally be armed, including parks and greenways. She’d also joined Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) even though gun crime is almost nonexistent in Morrisville, and tried to force a local store to give up selling semi-automatic sporting rifles. Continue reading “MAIG Mayor who tried to circumvent gun laws defeated in NC”
Secession or the talk of secession is getting the attention of some politicians; not only are they nervous, but are showing concern. Of late the movement has gathered some steam. In fact the Texas Nationalist Movement has thousand upon thousands of members. Colorado too has joined the band wagon.
We are seeing intra-state divisions and straight-out calls for independence as is the case in Texas. Will this amount to anything is anybody’s guess. The dividing a state into two is a lengthy process. However, the rise of activists is not only a sign of suspicion with the liberal agenda but it is the another shot at the do-gooder politicians. Those seeking independence are not some right wing vigilantes; they are common folks whose desire is to live their life as they sit fit, distanced from big government and its invisible hand.

The slogan of the New Century Global Center, the recently completed largest building in the world by floor space, sounds at first like a Chinglish-y misfire: “The One of Everything.” But as I spent a day wandering around the structure, located in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, the catchphrase started to take on a kind of brilliance. It captures the building’s comprehensiveness: It really does have one of everything, from a shopping mall to an Intercontinental Hotel to a 14-screen IMAX theater to a water park to a fake church to a McDoniqloGAPbucks to an ice skating rink—everything, that is, except restraint.

An Excellent Comment by Cal.
By voting for either Democrat or Republican you are voting for the destruction of the USA and the American people. There is NO difference. They continue on with the polices of the previous administration and add to them more unconstitutional policies. They are both destroying our legitimate government, willingly and treasonously.
You are supposed to vote your conscience, for the person who would uphold the US Constitution, not follow and vote the party line. Continue reading “A Democrat or Republican Vote is a Vote for the Destruction of the USA”

WASHINGTON – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted Wednesday that it was possible convicted felons could be hired as ObamaCare ‘navigators,’ giving them access to personal information like Social Security numbers and addresses of anyone signing up for the program.
Sebelius made the admission in an exchange with Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas., during a Senate Finance Committee hearing. It was the second time in a week Sebelius was on Capitol Hill, forced to defend the problem-plagued ObamaCare website.

After 3 months of careful budgeting, shopping, food preservation, repackaging, and stockpiling, we now have a one year food supply. This doesn’t mean that we don’t have to shop for a year, but it does mean that we have a cushion against disaster, whether it be personal, regional, financial, or natural. It gives us the freedom to wait out price spikes and purchase items on sale or in bulk. It means fewer trips to the store (and less temptation to go off-budget). It means that when scanning new recipes I nearly always have the ingredients on hand to make the delicious goodies that I find.

In 2010 the U.S. gave away some 55 Billion dollars to countries all over the world.
In addition to all the homeless – many of them veterans – there is always the subject of the abject poverty in hundreds of U.S. inner cities.
Not that I believe in government welfare at all, but since we do it anyway, I ask a simple question; HOW can our government justify giving away one PENNY to ANY foreign nation while our own citizens live this way? Continue reading “Tent Cities in U.S. While We Give Billions Away In Foreign Aid”
Turkish border guards seized three vehicles loaded with over 1,000 kg of chemicals as they tried to illegally cross the border into Syria. One of the smugglers was arrested, while others managed to escape.
The Turkish General Staff reported that the chemicals were seized after a convoy of three vehicles refused to stop and attempted to illegally cross the border near the southeastern Turkish town of Reyhanli on Saturday.
