A coalition of Washington firearms community leaders is today launching a grassroots campaign to counter the well-financed gun control initiative backed by a Seattle-based gun control group, while also preventing firearms confiscation “by any government agency…without due process.”

Protect Our Gun Rights (POGR) includes leaders from the 17,000-member Washington Arms Collectors (WAC), Gun Owners Action League of Washington (GOAL) and the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA). In an emergency meeting Monday evening in Renton, the WAC Board of Directors voted unanimously to support the effort with up to $200,000 and CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb also committed his organization to an equal amount. WAC will encourage member contributions to support this effort.   Continue reading “Washington groups launch fight against gun control initiative”

My wife went out to a shower today. I’m still not even sure if it was a baby shower or a wedding shower. I don’t really ask a lot of questions. All I know is she got dressed up and left me home with the five kids.

It was raining so me, being Super Dad, picked out a large book of nursery rhymes from our bookshelf to read to the four-year-old. I asked my six-year-old son if he wanted to listen and he looked at me like I had three or maybe four heads that were each speaking Portuguese in Pig Latin.   Continue reading “The Horrible Meanings Behind Nursery Rhymes”

This story will probably make you sick to your stomach.  A complaint for civil damages was recently filed against the Live Oak County jail system in Texas, naming the county and three guards as having turned the jail into their own personal sexual torture dungeon.  The complaint alleges that three guards at the county jail ran a “rape camp” where they “repeatedly raped and humiliated female inmates,” and forced them to masturbate and sodomize male guards, and one another. The three guards named in the report are Vincent Aguilar, Israel Charles Jr. and Jaime E. Smith.   Continue reading “Jail Guards Turn Women’s Prison Into Their Personal Sex Dungeon”

Great news!  You no longer have to worry about excessive levels of glyphosate, the toxic chemical found in Monsanto’s Round-up pesticide, in your food or in the feed that livestock consumes.  Why not?  Well, the Environmental Deception Protection Agency has looked over the situation, and in their infinite wisdom, raised the safety threshold of glyphosate that is allowed to be in consumable goods.

The EPA’s change of heart means that the the allowed glyphosate level in animal feed will rise to 100 parts per million (ppm) and 40 ppm in oilseed crops.  Thankfully, there’s no need for us to worry because they’ve assured us that the new allowable levels are only “minimally toxic” to humans.   Continue reading “Despite Irrefutable Evidence of Toxicity and Death, Monsanto’s Friends at the EPA Raise Allowable Glysophate Levels”

A man was arrested and apparently stun-gunned by the Concord police outside the State House yesterday while demonstrating against a gun regulation rally.

Based on video and witness accounts, the man, Daniel Musso, 52, of Brentwood was restrained by the police after touching one of them on the shoulders, and apparently stun-gunned seconds later for resisting arrest. The police would not confirm last night whether a stun gun had been used to subdue Musso.   Continue reading “Man subdued, arrested at dual gun rallies in Concord”

Grassley says the bonuses should be canceled under an April directive from the White House budget office.   Continue reading “Senator: IRS to pay $70M in employee bonuses”

The Nebraska Information Analysis Center (NIAC) has recently equated picture taking with terrorist activity, something American’s have done and enjoyed for years.

In fact, I remember my Grandfather was fond of cameras, actually both of my Grandfathers were. They had the original type 35mm’s, the one’s with the interchangeable professional style lenses. My mom’s father even had a Cannon, which is the brand I use today. He was quite a photographer.   Continue reading “Nebraska: Picture Taking Now Considered a Terrorist Activity”

For several years during the Vietam Era, hijackings were astonishingly routine in American airspace. Desperate and deluded souls commandeered over 130 planes between 1968 and 1972, often at a pace of one or more per week. WIRED contributing editor Brendan I. Koerner tells the story of this forgotten criminal epidemic in his new book, The Skies Belong to Us: Love and Terror in the Golden Age of Hijacking, which comes out today. In this exclusive excerpt, Koerner recounts the early days of the “Golden Age,” when Cuba was the skyjackers’ destination of choice and the airlines thought they had everything under control.   Continue reading “How Hijackers Commandeered Over 130 American Planes — In 5 Years”

In a campaign fundraising email posted Tuesday at Weasel Zippers, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she’s “sick and tired” of “useless” House Republicans blocking Barack Obama’s progressive agenda, and claims the only way to fix the “problem” is to elect more liberal Democrats.

“I can’t do that alone,” she said in the DCCC email. “I need your people-power to back me up.”   Continue reading “Nancy Pelosi: ‘I’m sick and tired’ of ‘useless’ Republicans blocking Obama’s ultra-liberal agenda”

Three other Democrats were targeted for recall, but only one campaign met the signature threshold. Sen. Angela Giron is waiting for the Gessler’s office to finish counting and validating the signatures against her.

As senate president, Morse was one of the most high profile Democrats fighting for the passage of several strict gun control laws. He sponsored one of the most contentious bills, which would have made the owners, sellers and manufacturers of semiautomatic sporting rifles liable for damage the weapons may cause, but he ultimately spiked the bill when it became clear that even some Democrats wouldn’t vote for it.   Continue reading “Recall of Colorado gun controller gets enough signatures”
