A sell-off in stocks accelerated Monday afternoon following the news of explosions at the Boston Marathon.

The Dow Jones industrial average, which had been in the red all day, fell 266 points, or 1.8%. About 120 points of that drop took place following the reports of the explosions in Boston.   Continue reading “Dow falls more than 200 points after Boston explosions”

I have highlighted these polls in the past due to the fact that when support for the Federal government plunges to these sorts of levels you have a recipe for serious social problems. The worst part is that the current low approval rating for this collective of parasites and thieves in Washington D.C. is completely justified in every way imaginable.     Continue reading ““Favorable” Opinion of the Federal Government Plunges to a Record Low of 28%”

Well…Apparently I am an “extreme fringe conservative” and I suspect I am not alone. In fact, I KNOW I’m not alone.

I’m in good company.

Our founders and framers started the club so I am far from being a charter Member.

James Madison, “extremist” that HE was penned the Bill of Rights but, what was WRITTEN by Madison, presented to the 1^st United States Congress and adopted by the House in 1789 and then ratified by a vote of 2/3 of the states in 1791 was actually endowed us by the Creator.   Continue reading “NY Starts Burning the Constitution TODAY!!”

Despite the massive lack of information – and a great deal of misinformation – about the Boston Marathon bombings (over a dozen updates at that link), baseless accusations have been made by media talking heads about the people or group behind the attack.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has said that the individuals or entity behind the bombings “will feel the full weight of justice.”   Continue reading “Boston Marathon bombing roundup: Obama vows ‘will feel the full weight of justice’ as accusations fly”

A potential suspect in the Boston marathon attacks is being guarded by police in a local hospital, according to reports.

CBS News senior correspondent John Miller and the New York Post have reported that there is a Saudi national in custody who was near the scene of the blasts, which were detonated near the finish line of the Boston marathon, injuring more than 100 people and killing at least two.    Continue reading “Suspect being ‘held in Boston hospital’ with severe injuries while another man is pictured in handcuffs”

The Federal Aviation Administration is warning pilots that it has created a no-fly zone over the site of two explosions at the annual Boston marathon.

The agency said in a notice issued Monday about an hour after the explosions that a no-fly zone with a 3.5-mile radius has been created over 811 Boylston St.   Continue reading “Boston a No-Fly Zone and Cellphone Service Shut Down”

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”

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. It Will Be A Good Indication That Things Are About To Happen.””

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”
