A deep arctic freeze has locked parts of the Midwest to the Northeast in their fourth day of glacial temperatures felt as low as -36F degrees – freezing fountains, faces, and as breathtakingly seen in Chicago, entire buildings.

In the Windy City firemen battled a five-alarm warehouse fire in single-digit temperatures last night, with the extreme cold hindering the process. Water froze on firefighters’ gloves almost as soon as it left their hoses, Continue reading “Oh My God: Global Warming Nightmare in Chicago – Where’s Al Gore When You Need Him?”

Before It’s News – by Live Free or Die

What can I say, we appear to have another amazing coincidence about the Sandy Hook school shooting. The man who Wikipedia credits as coining the term “assault rifle” also grew up in Newtown, Connecticut. It also just so happens that he’s been at war against the NRA and the 2nd Amendment for many, many years now. An introduction from Liberty Belles:

The gun-ban elitists want you to believe that America’s streets will be flooded with killer machine guns if the “Assault Weapons” ban sunsets this September. They predict blood, mayhem, and societal chaos if law-abiding citizens are “allowed” to purchase these rifles, despite the fact that rifles of this sort have been commercially available since 1896.

Against Crony Capitalism – by Nick Sorrentino

“A sick joke on all of us.”

This is where the true progressives and the libertarians and conservatives who care about crony capitalism can come together. The nomination of Mary Jo White for SEC chairwoman.

This is complete contempt for the American people. If there is any doubt, at all, about who’s side when it comes down to it this administration is on, look no further than this prospective appointment. Continue reading “This is insane.

For many people it is just a famous, comical quote, but some passengers on a New Zealand-bound flight did not see the funny side in Wynand Mullins’ T-shirt, which read “Prepare to die”.

In hindsight, Mr Mullins says his T-shirt, with a popular quote from the fantasy film The Princess Bride, may not have been the best clothing choice for a flight, but he believes the reaction of Qantas was over the top.

Mr Mullins, a Kiwi living in Sydney, was one of the first to board his Auckland-bound flight on Sunday evening. While other passengers took their seats, Mr Mullins was approached by a flight attendant who said some people on board were intimidated by the words on his shirt. Continue reading “‘Prepare to die’ t-shirt causes stir on flight”

While Democrats attempt to ban “military-style assault weapons” like the AR-15, a Rochester Institute of Technology student used that very gun to thwart home invaders and save his roommate’s life.

Christopher Boise heard noises in the basement of his apartment; when he went to investigate, he found two intruders. One of the men trained a gun on him. Boise screamed, which woke his roommate, Raymond, who grabbed his gun bag and took out his AR-15. Continue reading “Student Uses AR-15 To Stop Home Invasion”

Thank you for contacting me about gun safety, the President’s policy proposals, and potential Congressional action on this issue. I appreciate hearing from you on this important concern.

Last fall, we reported footage released of NYPD officers brutalizing a shirtless, shoeless homeless ban who was sleeping (with permission) in a Brooklyn synagogue youth outreach center.

21-year-old Ehud Halevi was beaten and pepper sprayed, as security camera recordings show, spent four days in prison and faced a string of charges including felony assault on a police officer — charges which were later dropped when the district attorney reviewed the disturbing video. This week, Gothamist reports, Halevi filed a federal lawsuit against the NYPD with the help of famed civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel. Siegel, the former director of the NYCLU told the Gothamist that he is confident Ehud will be awarded compensatory damages. He told the site: Continue reading “Homeless man brutalized by NYPD files federal suit”

NYPD boss Ray Kelly was his version of giddy yesterday while describing new technology that will allow police to just see straight through people’s clothing. As detailed by The Wall Street Journal, “The so-called T-Ray machine detects terahertz radiation, a high-frequency electromagnetic natural energy that is emitted by people and can penetrate many materials.” Kelly, in a speech at the Waldorf-Astoria, explained, “If something is obstructing the flow of that radiation, for example a weapon, the device will highlight that object.” After a demonstration, he added, “You get a sense of why we’re so hopeful about this tool.” And the government is footing the bill.

Yakima Herald – by Chris Bristol

Citing his desire to protect constitutional rights, Yakima County Sheriff Ken Irwin announced Tuesday he is against a ban on assault weapons, but favors background checks on all firearms transactions.

In an interview with the Yakima Herald-Republic, Irwin said he decided to announce his position on two of President Barack Obama’s most controversial gun control proposals ahead of a clear-the-air meeting Friday with supporters of gun rights.

He acknowledged his position would probably fully satisfy neither supporters of gun rights nor supporters of increased gun control after the shootings in Newtown, Conn., last month that claimed the lives of 20 grade-school children and seven adults.
