NEW YORK — Two dozen bug bombs may have been set off at once inside a Chinatown beauty salon, leading to an explosion and fire that injured a dozen people, fire officials said Friday.
Three people remained hospitalized in serious condition Friday. Nine others suffered burns and smoke inhalation in the Thursday blaze, including four firefighters. Continue reading “Chinatown Building Explosion That Left Dozen Injured Caused By Bug Bombs: FDNY”
Financial reform is stuck. There was sensible intent in the Dodd-Frank legislation of 2010, but the pressure from global megabanks has overwhelmed regulators.
The only way to remake the system is through renewed and focused impetus from Congress. Today may have marked that moment: Four senators — Republican John McCain, Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Maria Cantwell, and Independent Angus King — have unveiled their “21st century Glass-Steagall Act,” which has potential to protect us from the worst problems in the banking industry while making it a better engine of prosperity.

As Canada’s military continues its five-year investigation into charges that its officers told subordinates in Afghanistan to ignore cases of child abuse, Afghanistan’s former ambassador to Canada says both countries are guilty of ignoring the scandal.
Omar Samad, ambassador from 2004 to 2009, said he advised the Afghan foreign ministry in 2008 about media reports that some Canadian soldiers said they had been told not to get involved in cases of child sexual abuse involving Afghan soldiers, police and interpreters.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Families of the 26 children and educators killed in the Connecticut school shooting last year would receive $281,000 each under preliminary recommendations made by advisers to a committee tasked with dividing up $7.7 million in donations.
The families of 12 surviving children who witnessed the Dec. 14 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School would each get $20,000; two teachers who were injured would get $150,000 between them. Continue reading “Panel suggests $7.7M breakdown of Newtown payments”
I haven’t seen it myself, of course, but I’ve been hearing reports stating that the Zionist media has been serving up a steady diet of Martin & Zimmerman stew, complete with all the race baiting the Zionist media is famous for, so I thought I’d share my opinions on the matter because there seems to be a shortage of sanity and sense surrounding the issue, and apparently people are still dumb enough to fall for the same tricks year after year, and generation after generation.
The first aspect of this nonsense that needs to be addressed is its relevance, or lack of such, because when this is put into proper perspective, what we’re talking about is one shooting out of thousands that take place across a huge nation. Is there some reason this particular shooting was chosen to be so “important” that there’s some need for it to endlessly broadcast to three hundred million people?

This post is going to be deliberately simplistic and lacking in ballistic charts. The purpose is just to advocate to you the benefits, in my opinion, of the 100 meter (or yard if you insist, as it does not make a world of difference in practical terms) zero for a 5.56 AR style platform.
I am a great fan of the 100 meter zero. My reasons, in simple terms, are this: Continue reading “The 100 meter zero”

The following was written by California State Assemblymember Tim Donnelly, sponsor of Assembly Bill 351, legislation that addresses the “indefinite detention” powers of the 2012 NDAA and other federal “laws.”
I find it absolutely amazing how far our country has digressed politically since its founding in 1787. Take, for example, the latest Obama Administration scandals: Soylndra, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the IRS profiling various Conservative political organizations, domestic wiretapping probes on AP journalists, and the PRISM program run by the NSA.

According to this HUGE breaking story, Janet Napolitano is going to resign today. This comes straight from a Tweet from Reuter’s Insider. Does this have anything to do with the DHS spying upon peaceful protesters? Is is because the DHS was arming up for war against Americans? Should this be seen as a GREAT sign or does this portend forthcoming disaster? Continue reading “Janet Napolitano To Resign Today! Reuters Insider Tweet”
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court is scheduled to rule in the case of a man convicted of shooting and injuring two Milwaukee police officers in 2009.
Julius Burton was sentenced to 80 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges related to the shooting of the officers. Burton wanted to withdraw his pleas, arguing that his former attorney and the lower court didn’t properly advise him, but a state appeals court denied his request. Continue reading “Wis.

WEB Notes: This is an attempt to desensitize our children so they will be more accepting of intrusion into their lives. This is another reason to take your children out of public schools and home school or private school them. This is yet another reason, “California’s Transgender Bill Heads to Governor’s Desk Allowing Boys to Shower with Girls in Public Schools.”
