Adding further heartbreak to utter tragedy, the last mile of Monday’s Boston Marathon, which was rocked by at least two explosions resulting in an unknown number of injuries and casualties Monday afternoon, was dedicated to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting massacre. Boston Athletic Association president Joanne Flaminio said before the race that had a “special significance” because it was 26.2 miles long and there was 26 victims in the Newtown attack. There was also a group of Newtown parents running as part of a group called Team Newtown Strong who were raising money for local charities. A banner honoring the victims, hung at the end of the 26th mile, can be seen in the photo above.    Continue reading “The Boston Marathon’s Final Mile Was Dedicated to Newtown Victims”

If you want to see how firearm sales can be effectively banned, look no farther than the so-called “free state” of Maryland.  Although Maryland’s newly promulgated “assault gun” ban and licensing requirements will not go into effect until October, it is already nearly impossible to reasonably purchase a pistol or other “regulated” weapon in the state, and those who do face waiting periods of 50-60 days and increasing daily.    Continue reading “Maryland’s Second Amendment Nightmare: Coming Soon to a State Near You?”

There have been some recent very useful articles about packing rucks and living in the field from both Mountain Guerrilla HERE and American Mercenary HERE. They spurred me to write a post of my own on the subject, and I have also been asked for my own comments. So here you go:   Continue reading “Gear, Rucks & Living in the Field”

Alan Gottlieb is being given (and taking) credit for being instrumental in the Toomey-Manchin deal.

Gottlieb is a felon who managed to have his 2A restored via ATF years ago.

He has always been seen as an enemy of the Left.  They made sure his Wiki page always pointed out his past convictions.   Continue reading “Treason and 30 coins of silver”

Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.

Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.   Continue reading “Authorities ID suspect as Saudi national in marathon bombings, under guard at Boston hospital”

As of this print the price of gold is reaching fresh two year lows, down nearly 25% from its all time high just six months ago. Though uninformed onlookers and financial pundits may see this as the popping of the proverbial gold bubble, the velocity and scale of the take-down in precious metals suggests that there is a massive assault in the works. According to former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts, last Friday’s price drop was the result of some 500 tons of gold being dumped onto paper markets, an amount equal to about $25 Billion dollars worth of the metal. Likewise, silver saw a similar dump and price drop. Moreover, the very same thing is taking place this morning, suggesting that some very large and influential market makers are involved.   Continue reading “Flashback: Warning: “Watch The Metals, When They Dip.

Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.

Competitors and race organizers were crying as they fled the chaos. Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners.   Continue reading “2 Explosions at Boston Marathon Finish Line”

Last week we saw an all out propaganda push put forth by the communist insurgency to force new deep reaching infringements upon our 2^nd Article, with the end goal clearly being universal registration to be followed by universal confiscation.  The communists’ tag line is gun safety, which is about as open a term as the sleazy attorneys could come up with.

So what is gun safety?  Well if you listen to our enemies, it is every communist armed to the teeth with every American national disarmed absolute.  You see they support the 2^nd Article, or so they say and dare any to disagree, that the black uniformed thugs should be armed while their victims should be disarmed.  If there is something different being said here, I for one would like to know what it is.   Continue reading “American Nationals Must Stop Debating with the Communists”

Today would have been North Korean leader Kim Il-Sung’s 105th birthday and it is being speculated that his grandson, Kim Jong Un, may fire a missile as a part of a test to commemorate the day.  The event may have already occurred by the time this article is released as the 15^th was yesterday in North Korea.

This whole North Korean fiasco has to be described as one of the most blatant smokescreens to be thrown up within the 21^st century.  The powers that be know that this missile test is really so insignificant as to not even warrant mention, but are using their mainstream propaganda machine to create as much tension through confusion as possible.    Continue reading “Happy Birthday, Kim Il-Sung”

Tens of thousands of illegal aliens and their supporters gathered in Washington DC last week to demand that we American nationals surrender a portion of our country to them.  And of course, rather than mass arrests we have seen the sleazy assenting toward accommodating these foreigners in the form of the scam being pedaled as the Gang of 8.  Neither the false left Democrats nor the false right Republicans have the authority to give our country away to any foreign national, as there is no consent of the people.

If you have been out in public recently, you have seen the drastic change in attitude coming from the southern invaders.  They have indeed stepped out of the shadows and are now arrogantly strutting around like conquerors.   Continue reading “US-Mexican Border – Just another Line in the Sand”

ONE man here weighs just 77 pounds. Another, 98. Last thing I knew, I weighed 132, but that was a month ago.

I’ve been on a hunger strike since Feb. 10 and have lost well over 30 pounds. I will not eat until they restore my dignity.

I’ve been detained at Guantánamo for 11 years and three months. I have never been charged with any crime. I have never received a trial.   Continue reading “Gitmo Is Killing Me”

Staying out of the raging national debate over guns, the Supreme Court on Monday declined to weigh in on whether gun owners have a constitutional right to carry handguns outside the home.

The court decided not to hear a challenge to a New York state law that requires those who want to carry a concealed handgun to show they have a special reason before they can get a license.   Continue reading “Supreme Court declines to hear gun rights case”

GeoEngineering Watch – by Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.

The internet is littered with stories of “chemtrails” and geoengineering to combat “global warming”; and, until recently, I took these stories with a grain of salt. One of the main reasons for my skepticism was that I rarely saw what they were describing in the skies. But over the past several years I have noticed a great number of these trails and I have to admit they are not like the contrails I grew up seeing in the skies. They are extensive, quite broad, are laid in a definite pattern, and slowly evolve into artificial clouds. Of particular concern is that there are now so many – dozens every day are littering the skies.   Continue reading “Neurologist Warns Aluminum in Chemtrails Could Cause “Explosive Increase in Neurodegenerative Diseases””

An unusual surge of stranded dying and dead sea lions (seals) have littered Southern California beaches from Santa Barbara to San Diego since earlier this year. Most of the area newspapers and media outlets have been alarmingly reporting this unusual phenomenon.

It’s unusual because this is the season when sea lion pups flourish. Instead they’re struggling ashore in starved, emaciated conditions, if they’ve managed to stay alive. Scientists say almost half the sea lions born this past winter have died.   Continue reading “Dead sea lions washing on shore in California appear to have died from radiation poisoning”
