Introduction: The exposure of the Obama regime’s use of the National Security Agency to secretly spy on the communications of hundreds of millions of US and overseas citizens has provoked world-wide denunciations.

In the United States, despite widespread mass media coverage and the opposition of civil liberties organizations, there has not been any mass protest. Congressional leaders from both the Republican and Democratic Parties, as well as top judges, approved of the unprecedented domestic spy program.   Continue reading “The Deeper Meaning of Mass Spying in America”

Sen. Barbara Boxer is planning an amendment to the Senate’s immigration bill which would redirect funds committed to border security to reimburse state and local governments providing health care to newly legalized immigrants. Boxer plans to take $250 million, and likely much more, out of border security and use it to underwrite uninsured immigrants health care costs.    Continue reading “Boxer: Redirect Border Funds for Immigrant Health Care”

Even as reports break about the size and scope of the National Security Agency’s vast data storage center in Utah, new details are emerging about a second massive NSA center in San Antonio, Texas. According to the Houston Chronicle, “Satellite and aerial imagery show that massive air conditioning units and backup generators have been added to the facility, which is now ringed by barbed-wire fencing. City permits and property tax records show that the complex has been dramatically expanded.” According to sources, the plant will supposedly translate intercepted communications from the NSA; the communications are then forwarded to Maryland for processing.   Continue reading “Massive San Antonio NSA Data Center Raises Eyebrows”

Russia, a veto-wielding member of the U.N. Security Council, will not permit no-fly zones to be imposed over Syria, Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said on Monday.

“I think we fundamentally will not allow this scenario,” Lukashevich told a news briefing, adding that calls for a no-fly zone showed disrespect for international law.   Continue reading “Russia says it will not allow Syria no-fly zones”

Take guns away from law abiding citizens and criminals are the ones that benefit. That is how gun control works and it worked exactly like that last weekend in Chicago, Illinois, a state and city with some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation. Those gun control laws work so well that Chicago saw 47 people shot last weekend with eight killed.   Continue reading “Gun Control Works In Chicago, Leaves 47 Shot , Eight Dead, Over Weekend”

What becomes of the limitations of the constitution, if the will of the people, thus inofficially promulgated, forms, for the time being, the supreme law, and the supreme exposition of the law? –  Joseph Story (Commentaries on the Constitution (1822)

Currently, between the state Senate and Assembly, California has forty-seven pieces of pending legislation which will somehow affect California gun owners…FORTY SEVEN! For instance, AB 180 would establish an ammunition tax on top of the sales tax already applied; and then there is AB 760, another law which would impose a $.05 per round tax upon all ammo sales; AB 231 would require that gun owners obtain firearm liability insurance; AB 500 would extend the firearm purchase waiting period; and SB 108 would establish MANDATORY storage requirements for guns in the home. These are just a few of the laws currently making their way through the system in Sacramento, all of which are designed to further restrict our right to keep and bear arms.   Continue reading “Ross: Audacity”

Around this time two years ago, Barack Obama delivered a prime time speech in which he told viewers waiting for him to shut up and make way for American Idol, “We have spent a trillion dollars on war, at a time of rising debt and hard economic times… America, it is time to focus on nation-building here at home.”

Even while he was delivering a speech promising to begin nation-building at home, the warplanes he had dispatched to Libya were bombing government targets in support of the Islamist uprising.   Continue reading “Obama Lies America Into Another War”

Doctors all over the country are opting out of accepting insurance and government subsidies as payment for healthcare and taking cash paying customers. It seems that Obamacare is forcing them to reevaluate how they provide the best healthcare to their patients. Not only does it cut out the middle man (government and insurance companies), but it also drastically reduces prices for patients; some by as much as half!   Continue reading “US Doctors Drop Private & Govt Insurance – Provide Better Healthcare & Lower Prices”

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court says prosecutors can use a person’s silence against them if it comes before he’s told of his right to remain silent.

The 5-4 ruling comes in the case of Genovevo Salinas, who was convicted of a 1992 murder. During police questioning, and before he was arrested or read his Miranda rights, Salinas answered some questions but did not answer when asked if a shotgun he had access to would match up with the murder weapon.   Continue reading “Supreme Court Rules That Pre-Miranda Silence Can Be Used In Court”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A woman who was sentenced to death at age 16 for taking part in the torture and murder of a 78-year-old bible studies teacher was released from an Indiana prison Monday after growing to middle age behind bars.

Paula Cooper, whose 1986 death sentence enraged human rights activists and drew a plea for clemency from Pope John Paul II, left the state prison quietly in a state-owned van and wearing donated clothing, Department of Correction spokesman Doug Garrison said.   Continue reading “Indiana woman condemned for killing at 15 is freed”

Though Dan Langley had a heart attack while driving in Spring Lake Heights, that did not stop a police officer from giving him three traffic tickets.

A little more than a week after the April 1 heart attack, which led to a minor traffic accident, Langley, a 20-year-old Wall resident, received the tickets in the mail. When he went to the Spring Lake Heights Municipal Court to fight them, he and his family figured a doctor’s note would help convince the local prosecutor or judge to dismiss the summonses.   Continue reading “NJ man had a heart attack behind the wheel – and got 3 tickets from Spring Lake Heights police”

Has anyone noticed that the primary spokesperson for this wildfire is one of the Sheriffs who adamantly refuses to enforce the new Gun Control laws and El Paso county is one of the counties that wants to succeed and form a new state? Makes me wonder exactly which counties have been destroyed by this fire.   Continue reading “Colorado wildfire now considered a crime scene”
