Marco’s Summer Recess

Marco Rubio has spent the week traveling about Florida meeting with Floridians and “discussing” the issues that will be taken up by Congress when they reconvene in September this year.  Now the “main-stream” press has been out looking far and wide for any kind of controversy while Congressional Representatives and Senators conduct meetings during the…

Obama Signs Executive Order Effectively Banning Ammonium Nitrate

A site called InvestmentWach (I don’t know them, so I can’t vouch for them) reports: Obama issued an Executive order on August 1, 2013 that will effectively ban Ammonium Nitrate in the USA. It will become too expensive and create too much possible civil and criminal liability to manufacture, store, or transport it. Clinton did…

The Caspian Sea Monster

Gotta give it to the Russians – conventional thinking didn’t hold them back: The Lun ekranoplan weighs 380 tons, has a 148-foot wingspan and can launch six anti-ship missiles from flight. Or rather, it could, before it was retired to a forlorn pier in southern Russia. The dilapidated plane is the offspring of an even…

Racism and Hate Crimes: One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other

This is a different country, with a different culture and heritage, so the specifics…

Cult Of Personality III

Now it is a hate crime to wear an Obama mask: The President of the Missouri Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) says a rodeo clown act depicting President Barack Obama at the Missouri State Fair Saturday night was a hate crime. “I think that a hate crime occurred,” Mary Ratliff told KXNT…

Snopes Got Snoped

I love this story.  Not only does it explain why I do not place much credibility in Snopes, the fact that it is done by someone with the exact same credentials drives homw the point.  The only thing that separates the two is that the “MSM” has ‘blessed’ Snopes, thereby giving it the appearance of…

Go Get Them

I defended the NSA strictly legal grounds because at the time, I did not think there was objective evidence that they had crossed the line into illegality. Now we have it: The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad…
