The South Carolina school district currently utilizing a U.S. history textbook with a disputed interpretation of the Second and Third Amendments responded to TheBlaze’s exclusive report in great detail on Wednesday.

In an emailed statement, a spokesman for Greenville County Schools confirmed that Hillcrest High School in Simpsonville, S.C., has received “several emails and phone calls” expressing concern over how the textbook, “The Americans,” defines the Second Amendment.   Continue reading “S.C. School District’s Detailed Response to TheBlaze’s Exclusive Report on ‘Widely Adopted’ Textbook With Flawed 2nd Amendment Definition”

Mayor Bloomberg says he’s not concerned about city’s income inequality because it means that super wealthy want to live in New York. ‘I we could get every billionaire around the world to move here, it would be a Godsend,’ he said.Daily News – by Mara Gay

If only there were more billionaires.

“They are the ones that pay a lot of the taxes, and we take the tax revenues from those people to help people throughout the entire rest of the spectrum.”

Bloomberg, whose $32 billion net worth puts him 10th on the Forbes list of the world’s wealthiest people, has talked up the value of billionaires before.   Continue reading “Mayor Bloomberg: Stark differences between the city’s rich and poor are largely because so many billionaires want to live in New York”

A secret document, published in declassified form for the first time by the Guardian today, reveals that the US Air Force came dramatically close to detonating an atom bomb over North Carolina that would have been 260 times more powerful than the device that devastated Hiroshima.  Continue reading “US nearly detonated atomic bomb over North Carolina – secret document”

Recent disclosures of tons of radioactive water from the damaged Fukushima reactors spilling into the ocean are just the latest evidence of the continuing incompetence of the Japanese utility, TEPCO. The announcement that the Japanese government will step in is also not reassuring since it was the Japanese government that failed to regulate the utility for decades. But, bad as it is, the current contamination of the ocean should be the least of our worries. The radioactive poisons are expected to form a plume that will be carried by currents to coast of North America. But the effects will be small, adding an unfortunate bit to our background radiation. Fish swimming through the plume will be affected, but we can avoid eating them.   Continue reading “Fukushima Forever”

Storing an ample supply of water is an often overlooked area of preparedness – even though we know it is the most important item for our survival. I will be the first to admit that I am guilty of this. Don’t get me wrong, we have at least a 3 day supply of water, and plenty of water filters and purifying tablets, but as far as having enough water stashed away for a family of 5 … I will admit that we don’t have as much as we should – and it’s time to change this.   Continue reading “5 Short Term Methods to Store Water”

PIERCE — The most valuable farm in Pierce County now has 24-hour security, possibly armed, camping where the soybeans used to be.

And a new cattle gate, installed late last month. And electronic surveillance, its details kept secret.  Continue reading “Collection of a lifetime: Chevy dealer to sell 500 old cars, dozens of them new”

“These people love to pull your hair, smack you in the face, assault you and your livelihood, and then have the audacity to cry victim.” – Bradlee Dean

This week I received some information that my ministry was being petitioned by change.org, which is funded by none other than the international criminal George Soros, in an attempt to prevent my participation at the Minnesota State Fair. We also became aware of the fact that he who is petitioning the ministry is representing himself under a feigned manner and has no affiliation with the Fair. Outside of the fact that I have nothing to hide, the truth and facts, which bear forth my fruit, will expose their lies and those advocating crimes toward our American republic.   Continue reading “The George Soros Campaign to Quash Freedom of Speech Against Homosexuality”

Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, despite protests from industry and Republicans that it would dim coal’s future.

The proposal, which would set the first national limits on heat-trapping pollution from future power plants, is intended to help reshape where Americans get electricity, moving from a coal-dependent past into a future fired by cleaner sources of energy. It’s also a key step in President Barack Obama’s global warming plans, because it would put in motion proposals to end what he called “the limitless dumping of carbon pollution” from all power plants.   Continue reading “Obama Moves to Limit Power-Plant Carbon Pollution”

The marriage ended soon thereafter, in a similar manner. “Cause I wanted to be me–do my own thing,” says Rahr. “Wake up in the morning, not have to be responsible, just go and be happy.”

At 9:15 on a Wednesday night Stewart Rahr struts into Catch, a thumping restaurant in New York’s Meatpacking District, with a lithe Taiwanese party promoter on one arm, an aspiring Brazilian actress on the other and his bodyguard, Big Tommy, trailing behind. Rahr wears his thinning hair greased back from his tangerine-tan forehead, a wide-open black button-down hanging untucked over his tight jeans. His custom, highlighter-yellow Swatch (with his face on the watch face) matches his “I Love Ibiza” phone case, both consistent with his bright trademark sunglasses. He’s promptly seated–for about 30 seconds.   Continue reading “Guns, Girls And Sex Tapes: The Unhinged, Hedonistic Saga Of Billionaire Stewart Rahr, ‘Number One King Of All Fun’”

Tony Rooke refused to pay a TV license fee because the BBC intentionally misrepresented facts about the 9/11 attacks, he alleged. It is widely known that the BBC reported the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 over 20 minutes before it occurred. WTC 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was not hit by a plane on 9/11 but collapsed at free-fall speed later that day.    Continue reading “UK Man Wins Court Case Against BBC For 9-11 WTC 7 Cover Up”

I received the following question by email:

In one of your previous articles on gear carriage, you mentioned that the Paras were expected to be able to survive with what they carried on their battle belts (for 48-72 hours, if I remember correctly). I simply don’t have room for foodstuffs as I have mine set up now. Just FYI (starting at the left front and moving anti-clockwise): I have two pistol mag pouches, two double rifle mag pouches, a dump pouch, med pouch, pistol, and a single pistol mag pouch at the right front. My vest has a Camelbak for fluids. Can you suggest a way to carry food without relying on a patrol pack?    Continue reading “Battle Belt Question Answered”

Digital Journal – by Ralph Lopez

The FBI is instructing local police departments and “communities against terrorism” to consider anyone who harbors “conspiracy theories” about 9/11 to be a potential terrorist, in a circular released to local police departments.

The memo thus adds 9/11-official-story skeptics to a growing list of targets described by federal law enforcement to be security threats, such as those who express “libertarian philosophies,” “Second Amendment-oriented views,” interest in “self-sufficiency,” “fears of Big Brother or big government,” and “Declarations of Constitutional rights and civil liberties.”   Continue reading “FBI calls half of populace with 9/11 doubts potential terrorists”

U.S. Military Secretly Seeks Tech to Take Control of Radio WavesThe New American – by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

It is axiomatic in the modern era that in order to conquer a country, before there are boots on the ground, there must be propaganda in the air. Citizens of the United States must be the latest enemy, as a recent article reveals the U.S. military’s plan to conduct just such a media manipulation operation here at home.   Continue reading “U.S. Military Secretly Seeks Tech to Take Control of Radio Waves”

Drones used by the US to spy on, hunt, and kill terror suspects are “useless” in just about every other combat-related scenario, a top Air Force general said.

The fleet of MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper drones are no match for aircraft that can fly higher and faster, like those employed by the most basic of air defenses around the world, Gen. Mike Hostage, chief of the air service’s Air Combat Command, said at an Air Force Association conference.   Continue reading “Predator drones ‘useless’ in combat scenarios – Air Force general”

Bolivian President Evo Morales will file a lawsuit against the US government for crimes against humanity. He has decried the US for its intimidation tactics and fear-mongering after the Venezuelan presidential jet was blocked from entering US airspace.

“I would like to announce that we are preparing a lawsuit against Barack Obama to condemn him for crimes against humanity,” said President Morales at a press conference in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz. He branded the US president as a “criminal” who violates international law.    Continue reading “Bolivian president to sue US govt for crimes against humanity”

Nonprofits take your donations and give them to a good cause, right?

To be fair, most do, while paying their employees competitive but modest salaries. But a handful of nonprofits pay their top executives shockingly high salaries that could make their for-profit corporate counterparts jealous.   Continue reading “10 Insanely Overpaid Nonprofit Execs”
