The Real Revo – by R.D. Walker

Nine people were killed and dozens wounded in Chicago shootings over the weekend. Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the nation. The Governor, of course, insists his sick horse needs more turpentine.

Gov. Pat Quinn said Sunday that such continued violence underscores why he dramatically altered a gun bill that will end Illinois’ last-in-the nation ban on carrying concealed firearms — a prohibition that’s been declared unconstitutional by a federal appeals court.  Continue reading “The Chicago Bloodbath Continues”

III Percent – by Kerodin

We all know that the III represents the men who picked up rifles and actively fought in the Revolutionary War against the British.  I just did a bit of quick arithmetic and found that the British were aided by about 2% of Loyalists, who mostly fought in the mid-Atlantic and southern Colonies.  That’s 2% of neighbors and family members, in addition to the 56,000 British Army Regulars and 170,000+ sailors, 13,000 “Native” American Indians, and of course, the Hessians (about 30,000).

With a population estimated at 2.5 millions in 1776, about III Percent of Patriots fought against what equaled a hair under 400,000 under British arms, or about 16% of the population.  Both sides had roughly equal support from the population in the Colonies that did not actively fight, according to most Historians.  (Please let’s not pick nits over the numbers, these are all ballpark numbers put together by many Historians who may differ here or there.)   Continue reading “They had almost III percent, too…”

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

Governor Jay Nixon (shown) declared his independence from the Missouri state legislature on July 5 by vetoing a bill passed overwhelmingly by that body.

With the issuing of a terse, constitutionally confused letter,Nixon notified the secretary of state of Missouri that he refused his assent to HB 436 and why he made that decision. HB 436 was titled the “Second Amendment Preservation Act” and would have denied to the federal government the authority to enact any statutes, rules, regulations, or executive orders “which restrict or prohibit the manufacture, ownership, and use of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition exclusively within the borders of Missouri.”   Continue reading “Missouri Governor Vetoes Bill Nullifying Federal Gun Grab”

We’ll never know how many veterans exposed to the chemical TCE (trichloroethylene) have died from cancer, but we know the number is very high, and also that many have battled cancer and survived.

The US government, the Dept. of the Navy in particular, has avoided admitting that TCE is a direct threat to the health of those who served on TCE-laden bases, except when forced.    Continue reading “Google employees exposed to TCE”
