A Buffalo Wild Wings waitress refused to serve eight Virginia police officers because their guns were in full view in what the apologetic restaurant manager now says was a “misunderstanding.”

The plainclothes Prince William County police officers stopped in at the Manassas restaurant on March 20, presumably to dig in to the popular chain’s specialty, but never got the chance. An unidentified server told them they would have to put their service guns out of sight before being served. Scott Lupton, general manager of the store, said he heard about the incident from Daryl LaClair, a local man who contacted restaurant representatives afterward. Lupton denied reports that the county’s Finest were asked to leave.   Continue reading “Buffalo Wild Wings sorry after gun-fearing waitress refuses to serve cops”

If your daily routine took you from one homegrown organic garden to another, bypassing vast fields choked with pesticides, you might feel pretty good about the current state of agriculture.

If your daily routine takes you from one noncommercial progressive website to another, you might feel pretty good about the current state of the Internet.

But while mass media have supplied endless raptures about a digital revolution, corporate power has seized the Internet — and the anti-democratic grip is tightening every day.   Continue reading “Digital Grab: Corporate Power Has Seized the Internet”

SD has been alerted to an alarming provision that has been buried deep inside the official 2013 Canadian Budget that will result in depositor haircut bail-ins jumping to this side of the pond during the next bank crisis!   Continue reading “Canada Includes Depositor Haircut Bail-In Provision for Systemically Important Banks in 2013 Budget”

Everyone knew Magpul was going to take its jobs and nearly $90 million in taxeselsewhere  as a result of the state’s recent gun control laws. That was just the beginning of the rebellion. The blowback that has begun against Michael Bloomberg’s Colorado gun control bills is so massive that even the Washington Post is noticing it.

Don’t be surprised when the global elite confiscate money from your bank account one day.  They are already very clearly telling you that they are going to do it.  Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem is the president of the Eurogroup – an organization of eurozone finance ministers that was instrumental in putting together the Cyprus “deal” – and he has said publicly that what has just happened in Cyprus will serve as a blueprint for future bank bailouts.    Continue reading “The Global Elite Are Very Clearly Telling Us That They Plan To Raid Our Bank Accounts”

The measure in Arizona follows similar efforts in other states and comes amid increasing nationwide outrage about the international so-called “sustainability” plot, which according to UN documents aims to radically restructure human civilization under the guise of environmentalism and fighting poverty.   Continue reading “State Ban on UN Agenda 21 Clears Arizona Senate”

Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown

I must admit that it seems silly to me that the law of the land, and I’m specifically referencing the Second Amendment, has to have another law in place to preserve it. However, in the days we live I’m glad to see that states are stepping up and taking the Tenth Amendment to heart against an overreaching, tyrannical government. One such state is Kansas. Their Second Amendment Preservation Act, also known as HB2199, has moved one step closer to the desk of Governor Sam Brownback (R-KS).   Continue reading “Kansas Second Amendment Preservation Act Moves Closer To Becoming Law”

A large number of nations—mainly the Middle East but also Bangladesh, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and others—are not going to get much of what they want from this treaty. That is a good thing. These nations want the treaty to:    Continue reading “The Arms Trade Treaty, Week Two: The Ways It Might Fail”

According to a new Harris Poll survey, conducted on behalf of the management consulting firm Accenture, less than one-third of U.S. doctors think patients should have full access to their own electronic health records.

As a patient, you may literally trust your doctor with your life, and the doctor-patient relationship relies on this level of trust. The  relationship should be one of give and take, even if the exchange is sometimes dominated by the professional.   Continue reading “Electronic Health Records: Doctors Want to Keep Patients Out”
