Al-Qaida in Iraq says it has united with a Syrian jihadist group fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad.

An audio message from al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, posted on Islamist websites Tuesday, says his group has been funding cells from Syria’s al-Nusra Front.  The combined groups, the message says, will be called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.   Continue reading “Al-Qaeda In Iraq Merges With Syrian Rebels”

According to a Northeast Middle School worksheet, “The courts have consistently determined that the Second Amendment does not ensure each individual the right to bear arms, and “The courts have never found a law regulating the private ownership of weapons unconstitutional.”

The worksheet, published by Instructional Fair, goes on to say that the Second Amendment is not incorporated against the states.   Continue reading “School in Connecticut Teaching Students ‘Americans Don’t Have Right to Bear Arms’”

A compound in cannabis plants, called CBDV, shows promise as a treatment for epilepsy, researchers say.LA Times- by Lee Romney

British researchers have determined that a little-studied chemical in the cannabis plant could lead to effective treatments for epilepsy, with few to no side effects.

The team at Britain’s University of Reading, working with GW Pharmaceuticals and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, tested cannabidivarin, or CBDV, in rats and mice afflicted with six types of epilepsy and found it “strongly suppressed seizures” without causing the uncontrollable shaking and other side effects of existing anti-epilepsy drugs.   Continue reading “Compound in cannabis may help treat epilepsy, researchers say”

284869-sirhan-sirhanWho What Why- by Russ Baker

Recent legal filings on behalf of Sirhan Sirhan, jailed 45 years ago in the death of Robert F. Kennedy, reveal new evidence suggestive of a larger conspiracy. The filings also enumerate examples of obstructive tactics by a government representative—contortions reminiscent of the Warren Commission’s incredible, acrobatic magic bullet that was essential in creating consensus for a lone wolf assassin in the death of RFK’s elder brother, John. (If you’d like to read those filings, we’ve posted them here and here.)   Continue reading “RFK Assassination Legal Case Update”

Wayne Klinkel has taken the old “my dog ate my homework” excuse to a new level.

Klinkel’s dog ate his $100 bills. Five of them.

“I thought ‘You dumb SOB,’” Klinkel recalled with a rueful laugh. “I couldn’t believe he did that.”  Continue reading “Owner retrieves cash after canine helps himself to $500 snack”

I haven’t fished much since I was a kid, mostly because I just don’t have the time.  I’m not going to cover the basics of fishing.  Instead, I want to go over some tactics for survival fishing.  Some of these ways to fish may or may not be legal in your area.  Check your local laws.  These are good things to have an understanding of.  If you find yourself in a survival situation, legal or not, you’ll do what you need to do survive.   Continue reading “Survival Fishing”

While politicians talk about expanding background checks for gun owners, I’m starting to think that what we really need are IQ tests for political officeholders. The only problem is, that might leave us with a lot of vacancies in Congress and America’s statehouses.

The debacle over New York’s rushed-through gun bill is one example of what happens when enthusiasm meets stupid. But another is to be found in Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), who supports a ban on full-capacity magazines without understanding what a magazine actually is.   Continue reading “We need an IQ test for politicians”

Colony Collapse Disorder has killed half of the honeybees in the United States this year alone. Catholic Online

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) – Scientists and beekeepers have been baffled by Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) which is characterized by the sudden disappearance of the hive’s worker population.

According to the USDA, Symptoms of CCD include few or no adult honeybees present, honey and immature bees (broods) remain present in the hive suggesting a sudden abandonment of the hive–a possible response to stress. However, the bees are never found elsewhere, they simply disappear and die. Usually, the queen bee is left behind but dies without establishing a new population.    Continue reading “Devastating honeybee loss reported across United States expected to impact food prices”

President  Obama recently gave a speech in Colorado regarding the new gun laws that have  just been passed. As always Mr. Obama tried to give the impression that he had  the support of everyone and their brother as he had the local police force set  up behind him.

That same day the county sheriff made a video ridiculing such a  stunt and supporting the second amendment. We need more like him to take a  stand.   Continue reading “The Constitution does constrain the President, for now?”

The First Basic Law of Human Stupidity asserts without ambiguity: always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation. At first, the statement sounds trivial. Closer scrutiny reveals its veracity. No matter how high are one’s estimates of human stupidity, one is repeatedly startled by the fact that: people whom one had once judged rational and intelligent turn out to be unashamedly stupid. Additionally, day after day, with unceasing monotony, one is harassed in one’s activities by stupid individuals who appear suddenly and unexpectedly in the most inconvenient places and at the most improbable moments.

RainThe Intel Hub – by JG Vibes

The Maryland government, under direct order of Obama and the EPA will now begin taxing the state’s 10 largest counties according to the rain that falls on their property and the “impervious surfaces” on their land.

Yesterday we reported that Wesley Snipes was finally released from prison after serving a 3 year sentence for refusing to pay the government extortion racket known as “taxation”.  If you had a difficult time seeing through the scam of taxation with that story, hopefully this one can show you how taxation is blatant theft and thuggery.   Continue reading “MD Residents to Pay New “Rain Tax” For Rain That Falls on Their Property”
