While the hypocrites in Washington D.C and the Hollywood elites continue to rant and attempt to remove and make gun ownership illegal, here is another example on how to prevent a shooting massacre. This one was prevented in San Antonio, Texas on 17 December 2012. Fortunately for the innocent people at the Mayan 14 movie theater,…

In case you haven’t noticed, it would appear that the Russians are on the verge of developing the ability to take out our nuclear deterrent while, at the same time, giving themselves a first-strike capability they never had before. Here’s the story: Silent sub: Russian noiseless Borei class nuclear submarine immersed So, while Obama has…
Back in 2005: A&E doctors are calling for a ban on long pointed kitchen knives to reduce deaths from stabbing.

I grew up in what many would call a “poor” household. My mom and dad made sure that I never wanted for anything but there were things that we just didn’t have that others did have. I can remember getting five pairs of jeans and a set of nice clothes at the beginning of the school year…
While surveying our contemporary cultural, political and economic landscape, I’ve been thinking about how our actions and the actions of our culture will be remembered.
