Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown

The irony of someone like Attorney General Eric Holder taking the first steps on Friday to begin implementing some of Barack Obama’s 23 executive orders is quite telling, especially since he is still embroiled in the midst of a bloody gun running scandal known as Fast and Furious. Holder released three proposals that are “intended to promote public safety, to enhance the efficiency of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) operations, and to resolve difficulties created by unforeseen processing conflicts within the system.” Continue reading “AG Holder Begins Implementing Obama’s Executive Orders On Gun Control”

Smokers, beware: tobacco penalties under President Obama’s Affordable Care Act could subject millions of smokers to fees costing thousands of dollars, making healthcare more expensive for them than Americans with other unhealthy habits.

The Affordable Care Act, which critics have also called “Obamacare”, could subject smokers to premiums that are 50 percent higher than usual, starting next Jan 1. Health insurers will be allowed to charge smokers penalties that overweight Americans or those with other health conditions would not be subjected to.

A little over five years ago, Alison and Doug Kirk held their 9-year-old daughter’s hand as she lay on a futon in their Nashville living room, told her they loved her, and watched her take her last breath.

The Kirks had known for a long time that their little girl, Caroline, would die. In her last weeks, she was under hospice care, lived off an oxygen machine, was fed through a tube, and spoke only in small murmurs. It was the normal course for a child born with Niemann-Pick, a terminal disease that gradually leads to the breakdown of the nervous system, brain and lungs.

OAKLAND, CALIF. — EDITOR’S NOTE: The writer is addressing the question, “Is putting armed guards in the nation’s schools a good idea?”

When he heard police arrive at Sandy Hook Elementary School, a “gun free zone,” Adam Lanza ended his murder spree by killing himself. Continue reading “Pro: Armed school guards are our best bet to stop future Newtowns”

Bloomberg – by Heidi Przybyla & Jonathan Salant

A proposed ban on sales of assault weapons would be defeated in the U.S. Senate today unless some members changed their current views, based on a Bloomberg review of recent lawmaker statements and interviews.

At least six of the 55 senators who caucus with Democrats have recently expressed skepticism or outright opposition to a ban, the review found. That means Democrats wouldn’t have a simple 51-vote majority to pass the measure, let alone the 60 votes needed to break a Republican filibuster to bring it to a floor vote.

Fresh from persuading a $5 billion pension fund in Chicago to divest from companies that make firearms, the city’s mayor, Rahm Emanuel, on Thursday urged the chief executives of two major banks to stop financing companies ‘‘that profit from gun violence.’’

Emanuel sent letters to TD Bank, which provides a $60 million credit line to Smith & Wesson, and to Bank of America, which provides a $25 million line to Sturm, Ruger & Co., asking the CEOs to push the companies to ‘‘find common ground with the vast majority of Americans who support a military weapons and ammunition ban.’’ Continue reading “Chicago’s mayor tries to enlist banks in anti-gun campaign”

New York Daily Sun – by Lawrence Sellin

The US federal government has strayed so far from the Constitution and the rule of law that it can now be considered rogue and illegitimate.

The thoroughly irresponsible rate of government spending projected over the next twenty-five years will drive federal debt to unsustainable levels. The country is heading for a financial meltdown and economic ruin. Continue reading “Only rebellion can save America”

California communist Diane Feinstein proposed 150 new infringements upon the absolute, inalienable, cannot be infringed upon 2^nd Amendment right of we the American nationals.  Then, to add insult to injury, she proposed more tax money to the ATF goons for the enforcement of the 150 infringements.

It is good to see the people somewhat awake in that they have begun to identify the infringements, not as reasonable law and/or policy, not as gun control or gun safety, but as what they are – infringements.

The Bill of Rights is the people’s law, not to be confused with the Uniform Commercial Code which is the government’s law.  The inalienable rights described in our Bill of Rights are the people’s rights, not the government’s.  And government employees cannot so much as discuss our rights/law in any coalition with their law.   Their law and our law can in no way be adjoined as they are opposed in subject matter.  Continue reading “The Common Law Cause for the Revolution”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned on Thursday that a major cyber attack is a looming threat and could have the same sort of impact as last year’s Superstorm Sandy, which knocked out electricity in a large swathe of the Northeast.

Napolitano said a “cyber 9/11” could happen “imminently” and that critical infrastructure – including water, electricity and gas – was very vulnerable to such a strike. Continue reading “False Flag Alert: U.S. homeland chief: cyber 9/11 could happen “imminently””

The New American – by William F. Jasper

It should come as no surprise that the Communist Party USA is on board with President Obama’s plan to attack Americans’ right to keep and bear arms as a means to “end gun violence.” A cardinal feature of communist regimes, like all dictatorships, is the prohibition of private ownership of arms, creating a monopoly of force in the hands of the State.

In a January 18 article, People’s World, an official publication of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), declared that “the ability to live free from the fear or threat of gun violence is a fundamental democratic right — one that far supercedes any so-called personal gun rights allegedly contained in the Second Amendment.” Continue reading “Communists Cheer On Obama’s Gun Grab”

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?”

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”
