A lot of ultra-rich people are quietly preparing to "bug out" when the time comes
Democratic members of Congress apparently aren't going to be satisfied until American citizens are completely and utterly defenseless.
Representative Mike Honda (D-CA) has introduced a bill for consideration of the new Congress which would prohibit the ownership of certain types of body armor for civilians.
H.R. 378 would make it a crime to own Type III body armor which would be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Yeah, 10 years in prison.
Mayor worries city will be left in debt
At a January 17 meeting of the Oath Keepers, Fulton County Sheriff Thomas J. Lorey told attendees to defy the state's new pistol permit recertification rule in an effort to gum up the law's enforcement by causing an overwhelming number of permit expirations on the same day.
Welcome to Nazi-America
An advisory commission conceived in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting put forth recommendations Friday to further restrict the Second Amendment in Connecticut, calling for an all-out ban on guns "that can fire more than 10 rounds without reloading," reports the Associated Press.
What would you do if you were minding your own business in the comfort of your own home and a machete-wielding maniac started kicking in your door?
If you don't have a firearm you'd likely panic, pick up the phone, and hope that 9-1-1 can get a police officer to your house in the next 15 seconds.
If you are an armed homeowner, however, you've not only given yourself a fighting chance, but you have the distinct advantage of being on your own turf and capable of dispatching the threat with near instantaneous results.
Meet Sha Dixon with 'Black Lives Matter L.A.,' who was arrested at LAPD Headquarters last week while trying to deliver a letter to LAPD Chief Charlie Beck. LibertyFight.com is proud to present our exclusive interview with Ms. Dixon, along with a copy of the letter she was trying to deliver.
Head of International Police Agency: Arming Citizens May Be the Best Way to Stop Terrorists
"There are a few things I hate more than the NRA. I mean truly," the "Real Sports" host told the magazine in an interview posted online Tuesday.
"I think they're pigs," Gumbel, 66, continued in a rant against the nation's top gun lobby.
"I think they don't care about human life. I think they are a curse upon the American landscape. So we got that on the record."
Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said today the U.S. and the rest of the democratic world is at a security crossroads in the wake of last month's deadly al-Shabab attack at a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya – and suggested an answer could be in arming civilians.
What would you do if you were entering a store and saw a person concealing a handgun under their coat in the parking lot?
Would you panic?
Would you confront that person?
Would you call 911, or contact that store's security guard?
Yesterday, Clarence Daniels, 62, went to Walmart to buy coffee creamer for his wife. Before he entered the store, he grabbed his gun from his car and placed it in his hip holster under his coat.
Michael Foster, being the apparent diligent citizen that he is, saw Daniels arm himself and decided to take action.
And by take action, I mean "go all vigilante".
Napster co-founder and former Facebook president Sean Parker ponied up $250,000 for the Bloomberg-backed gun control push on expanded background checks in Nevada.
Shepard Ambellas interviews the maker of "Camp FEMA"
My only question is, what will the government make of this?
His movie posters speak for themselves. Without guns, Neeson's resumé would be a whole lot shorter.
Maybe Americans are smarter than we thought. If recent gun law polls are any indication, the Jewish public relations blitz by Israeli-firsters in Congress and Zionist shills in the mainstream media has not convinced the American people that they need to be prevented from owning guns.
Add in the growing skepticism of all these suspicious violent episodes sprouting up all over the world — specifically Paris and Sydney — that are turning out to be false flag facsimiles of terror events, and you have a clear trend that people prefer having their own guns rather than relying on untrustworthy cops and being restricted by increasingly intrusive gun control laws.
People are beginning to remember that private gun ownership is the one thing that assures their government won't abuse them.
On January 13th, the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) telecast the FRONTLINE documentary, "Putin's Way," which purported to be a biography of Russia's President, Vladimir Putin.
The press release about this film states:
Drawing on firsthand accounts from exiled Russian business tycoons, writers and politicians, as well as the exhaustive research of scholar and best-selling Putin's Kleptocracy author Karen Dawisha, the film examines troubling episodes in Putin's past, from alleged money-laundering activities and ties to organized crime, to a secret personal fortune said to be in the billions. … These accounts portray a Russian leader who began by professing hope and democracy but now is stoking nationalism, conflict and authoritarianism.
On January 15, Second Amendment supporters gathered in Olympia, Washington, in a show of opposition to Bloomberg-funded I-594. State Representative Matt Shea (R-4th Dist.) said, "We will not comply.
What is even more alarming is that Indianapolis is not alone
On Friday, Jewish schools in the Belgian cities of Brussels and Antwerp decided to cancel classes over terror threats

One of Europe's most prominent Jewish organizations is petitioning the European Union to pass new legislation that would permit Jewish community members to carry guns "for the essential protection of their communities," according to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
In theory I agree with the idea of everyone carrying guns as a protection from terrorists (including the ones created by government). My opposition to this particular plan is that this Rabbi wants only Jews to be allowed to carry guns. That is inherently racist.
Let no one accuse the National Rifle Association of being slow on the draw: It is suing Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Lancaster, just days after a new state law allowed it to challenge local gun ordinances in court.
What do we need to do in order to prepare for the coming economic collapse?
Principle "dedicated" to keeping "children safe" suggests new approach for intruders, active shooters
I guess my overarching point is that there will always be evil in the world. There will be people who believe they are righteously killing in the name of their religion. There will be people who are crazy, there will be gangs, there will be drug addicts, and there will be rapists and pedophiles, serial killers and burglars. Let's deal with all of them first and maybe we can talk about guns then. If you can't get rid of evil, I don't want you getting rid of my right to defend myself from it.
Russia Tells United States Citizens Not To Give Up Your Guns: We Learned From Experience Fighting Rothschild's Banking Schemes!
"It contains a purely defensive stance, but if something suddenly happens, we're ready."
Colorado's 70th General Assembly convened Wednesday and saw Republicans launch efforts to repeal two measures passed by Democrats in 2013 requiring background checks for guns sold online and banning high-capacity magazines.
Barely a week after taking effect, a novel state law that makes it easier for gun-rights groups to challenge local firearms measures in court is already sparking change: Nearly two dozen Pennsylvania municipalities have agreed to get rid of their potentially problematic ordinances rather than face litigation.
In light of the attacks in Paris, it's hard to be a Muslim and be able to grieve for the victims of the Charlie Hebdo shooting before the global focus is shifted once again onto how you are to blame because the perpetrators who did this did it in the name of your religion.
Attorney General Eric Holder proposes drastic measures to track, trace and monitor all gun owners in America
Congressman Ron Paul has written an extensive and outstanding review of the root causes of the problems plaguing our society, as well as his proposed solutions. In my opinion it is one of the best columns he has ever written, rivaling his classic "We've been Neo-Conned.'
I asked, but they haven't a clue as to what he looks like, only that he had a pulled over-head hoodie. More pictures and interview with Deputy Sheriff Gates to follow.
No clue as to whether it was a handgun or a rifle. No notation as to the general size of the suspect, thin, fat, medium, tall, short.... No notation as to whether he had an accent or anything.....?
Note: The rifle pictured is reportedly NOT the suspect weapon. No injuries are reported, and some of the children at other area schools are on lockdown as they received notification of the event after students had arrived.
The total lockdown was a joint decision by the district and area law enforcement. Any other incidents in the future will be handed on a case-by-case basis.
Do some deep-diving on this one, folks.....
And when you're done with this you better check out the election theft in the banking capitol of the Country:
The company, which is here at CES Showstoppers, has just announced ShotView, an iOS and Google Play app that lets a hunter stream video from his or her gun to anyone in the world. And the press release is very clear about its place in the tech world:
FBI background checks, the most reliable measure of gun sales, surged in December, capping a year that experienced strong growth in the last three months.
King County deputies said an employee at the school came across a man with a gun who made threats against the school and then ran away.
That employee called 911, which brought a large police response and a lockdown at the school about 8 a.m. The Shoreline district eventually decided to shut down every school in the district.
I have read ATF Rul. 2015-1 which was intended to clarify your position on several issues. I would like to thank you for your indirect admission that a firearm receiver is not a "receiver", as defined by the GCA of 1968, until it can house all of the necessary parts that it is intended to house. I know this was not your intent. However, your words are very clear.
For Constitutionalists and 2nd Amendment advocates, 3-D Printing just got really interesting.
Next week, on January 13th, Come and Take it Texas (CATI), one of the biggest and most forward-thinking guns rights advocates in the US, will be conducting a 2nd Amendment public demonstration the footsteps of the Austin, Texas Capitol building, showcasing the Ghost Gunner CNC machine.
The Ghost Gunner machine is a non-profit open source hardware effort developed by Defense Distributed, the company behind the world's first 3D Printed Gun named, the 'Liberator Pistol' and brainchild of Texas-based entrepreneur, Cody Wilson.
The New Year has brought new action from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), who published ATF Rul. 2015-1 on January 2, 2015.
In this new ruling, ATF reverses its longstanding position that persons who machine unfinished receivers on behalf of a customer are not required to have manufacturer's licenses.
You need a license to make something for yourself?!?
For those who have always believed that it can't happen here, think again, because it IS happening, and things are only going to get worse as data surveillance becomes a way of life.
Gun confiscation at the hands of medical records sharing is now officially a reality, with serious consequences for the individuals involved.
Now, under ObamaCare, the United States is on pace to swiftly become a snitch society that would make East Germany and Soviet Russia blush.
Guns for me but not for thee: Rahm Emanuel doesn't want you to have guns, but he's got 'em. All over.
A year ago this New Year's Eve, John Filippidis of Florida was driving south with his family on Interstate 95 when the Maryland Transportation Authority Police pulled over his black Ford Expedition and proceeded to raid it while his twins, wife and daughter looked on — separated in the back seats of different police cruisers.
The officers were searching for Mr. Filippidis' Florida-licensed, palm-size Kel-Tec .38 semi-automatic handgun, which he left at home locked in his safe. (Maryland does not recognize handgun permits issued by other states.)
It is what was widely suspected by cynical critics of the Federal government such as the writers of this blog, but now we have official confirmation that the Obama administration was using Operation Fast and Furious as an excuse to advocate for stricter gun control measures, even as the program funneled thousands of rifles to Mexican drug cartels.
For once, gun control advocates and gun rights groups agree — they're fired up about a new video that urges kids to steal their parents' guns and hand them over to teachers at school.
The Nazis used to teach children to spy on their parents and report if they had something the Nazis preferred they not have, including guns.
Colorado was the first state to legalize recreational marijuana sales. Now the state's voters may consider a ballot measure to allow pot smokers to carry a concealed firearm.
Colorado is starting to look real good!
Dyke says he understands the ad may offend people who didn't grow up around guns, but stands firm in his decision.
"We've had some people that called in and basically demanded that we take it down, or highly suggested we take it down, but as far as we're concerned we'll take it down when we intended to take it down after the holiday season," Dyke said in a phone interview with Infowars.
Emblematic of Obama's entire second term, really. After the Sandy Hook shootings in December 2012, he made gun control his top policy priority to start his second term. Public support for action spiked in the emotional aftermath of the murders; the White House, mindful of Rahm Emanuel's advice to never let a crisis go to waste, demanded that Congress act quickly to address gun violence, knowing that public opinion would soon revert to the pre-Newtown status quo as that emotion faded.
The claim that gun deaths are on the increase is invalid once you stop including suicides in the count.
The hostage situation at a Sydney cafe proves that Australia has become a "nation of victims" because of its stiff restrictions on gun ownership, an Australian lawmaker said.
Sen. David Leyonhjelm of Australia's Liberal Democratic Party said the siege by the lone jihadi-inspired gunman this week would have been less likely if Australians were free to arm themselves.
New York state law prohibits retailers from selling guns in realistic colors unless it has one-inch-wide orange stripe running down both sides of the barrel and the front end of the barrel that cannot be removed.
Fed up with the passage of an 18½-page incoherent, rambling, unconstitutional gun control initiative that was bankrolled by billionaires, gun owners across Washington state held the largest felony civil disobedience rally in the nation's history, brazenly titled "I Will Not Comply." No one was hurt and no stores were looted. Between 1,000 and 3,000 lawful gun owners showed up openly armed at the state capitol in Olympia, Wash., on Saturday to defy the newly passed gun control law, I-594.
On the second anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting, a poll run by the government-funded Public Broadcasting Service found efforts led by gun control groups have ultimately failed to convince the American public to surrender their Second Amendment rights. After buttering up readers with statistics cited by Conn. Gov. Dan Malloy, which claim that "there were 32 percent fewer murders in 2013 than in 2011" in the state due to newly-imposed gun control laws, PBS gives a run down of several of the restrictions that went into effect almost immediately following the shooting, one of which is a blanket no-purchase regulation on people labeled "mentally ill" by health professionals.
The victims of a burglary captured their alleged intruders after spotting them in the street - on the way back from another break-in.
The Wyatt family's surveillance system filmed the moment a woman and two men took two TVs and numerous Christmas presents from their home in Warrior, Alabama, last Friday.
Just two days later, Chris Wyatt spotted the suspects' Ford Ranger pickup truck driving down a road and swerved to block them into a corner.
In an amendment to its tough gun control laws, the Russian government eases restrictions, allowing citizens to carry licensed weapons for the purposes of 'self-defense.'
Until now Russian gun enthusiasts were only permitted to carry firearms for hunting or target shooting after obtaining a license through the Interior Ministry. Russian gun licenses are to be renewed every five years, and applicants face strict background checks and are required to take gun safety courses.
The addendum to the law now lists self-defense as a legally acceptable reason for carrying a weapon.
We're not waiting for politicians, judges or lawyers. Our birthright is NOT to be touched. We call on our Sheriffs, local representatives and legislators to stand with us and uphold their oaths.
The Constitution is the supreme law and our God given rights are NOT open for negotiation. We choose to uphold the law as peacefully and principled as possible, but it will be upheld.
We will buy and sell guns from whom we please, we will not submit to background checks, we will not give up our rights, WE WILL NOT Comply.
We will rally at the capital, openly exchange guns, unveil and plan to break apart the legislation and violate i594 in every possible way. Because ALL law that violates the Constitution is not law, it is VOID!
This is being organized by the Gavin Seim for Liberty and Anthony Bosworth For Sheriff and many great volunteers from across the State. Please show up.
Gun-rights supporters are now a majority among Americans, according to a Pew Research Center survey released Wednesday that marks a stunning turnaround from two years ago, when the Newtown school shooting had appeared to give gun control advocates the upper hand in the public debate.
It's the highest approval rate in two decades, Pew said, and it's driven by changing attitudes across nearly all demographic lines, including among black Americans who are increasingly likely to view guns as good for protection, rather than as a public safety danger.
Legal gun owners in New York State deemed mentally unfit by health professionals are unknowingly being added to a state database for probable future gun confiscation.
As part of provisions listed in the state's draconian SAFE Act, New York's Division of Criminal Justice Services has found 278 gun owners whom physicians and other "mental health professionals" have identified as mentally unstable, according to a FOIA request submitted by the Syracuse Post-Standard.
Gun owners can be identified by physicians, psychologists, registered nurses or licensed clinical social workers as unfit without their knowledge, as the law does not require health professionals to inform a patient or ask their permission before reporting them to the state.
Some 200 lawmakers from 50 states have joined the alliance, American State Legislators for Gun Violence Prevention, said the group's founder, Democratic New York State Assembly member Brian Kavanagh.
Kavanagh told a news conference the group would focus on state-level gun control reforms, including the prevention of interstate gun trafficking and tightening background checks on buyers.
Shoppers participating in the post-Thanksgiving consumerist phenomenon known as Black Friday typically tend to purchase useless material possessions they don't really need.
This past holiday, however, many Americans demonstrated that they're more interested in their Second Amendment rights than flat screen TVs or cheap DVDs.
According to the FBI, last Friday saw a staggering 175,000 background checks processed via the agency's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, a number the agency says made Friday the second highest gun purchase day ever.
A museum in Washington state plans to remove about a dozen borrowed firearms from a World War II exhibit and return them to their owners to comply with a new gun law that requires background checks for all gun transfers, the institution said on Wednesday.
Israel is to ease controls on carrying weapons for self-defence after a deadly Palestinian attack on a Jerusalem synagogue, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said on Tuesday.
"In the coming hours, I will ease restrictions on carrying weapons," he said in remarks broadcast on public radio, indicating it would apply to anyone with a licence to carry a gun, such as private security guards and off-duty army officers.
Funny! In the US, every time there is an attack the government INCREASES restrictions on personal weapons!
As we continue to observe the sweeping gun control movement moving from state to state, Oregon's re-elected governor says one of his big bold moves will be to follow Washington State in an effort to increase gun-control measures.
This is the website of today's radio show guest where law-abiding Americans can purchase 80% kits for various weapons including the AR-15 and finish them in their own home, all perfectly legal under Federal Law (although check your state laws regarding kit guns first).
A Texas legislator has introduced a new bill to derail the enforcement of virtually all federal gun control measures within the state's borders.
We can expect a "crazed lone nut" (Reg trademark The White House) to shoot up a Texas school!
The news out of the United Kingdom almost reads like a satire piece from The Onion. But as strange as it may sound to people around the world, and especially in the United States, the British police push to ban knives is no joke.
The new "Save a Life – Surrender Your Knife" program is in full swing and police are telling us that they have joined forces with an already growing trend in the United Kingdom to ban "pointy" knives.
One of the things that Captain Bly did to the crew of the Bounty was to break off the tips of their work knives. Together with other oppressions this led to the mutiny. The UK government must really be getting scared of their own people to go over the top like this. Will they demand all cooking knives and tableware be plastic only? Keep in mind that the British government has already admitted that their ban on guns did not actually make the British subjects safer, but is maintained because the people "believe" they are safer. The same will be true of this knife ban. The law-abiding will be disarmed, knives (and guns) will be available to the criminals, and crime will increase. Whose side is the government on? From here it looks like they want to protect the criminals. Look at all the pointy bits on THAT one! Better ban it!

The National Rifle Association issued a stark warning that a U.N. Arms Trade treaty set to take effect on Christmas Eve could lead to a U.S. crackdown on Second Amendment rights — not via a Senate ratification, but rather an "end-run around Congress," a spokesperson said.
"We are worried about an end-run around Congress," NRA spokeswoman Catherine Mortensen told The Blaze. "Barack Obama or a future anti-gun president could use ATT and international norms compliance to rationalize enacting gun control politics through executive actions, especially in the import and export realms."
Under a "longstanding, but rarely enforced state law," police in New York are permitted to confiscate firearms of legal gun owners within days of their deaths, Fox News reports. Pro-gun advocates are fuming now that police in Buffalo plan to enforce the law.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued a 14-point clarification on what does and what does not make an 80 percent lower receiver, and reminds people that they're legal to buy.
The ATF's clarification re-states its position on 80 percent lowers, highlighting the fact that any blank must not be pre-drilled, cast or dimpled to aid in manufacturing.
The "Receiver Blanks Q&A's" maintains that it is legal to sell 80 percent lowers and machine them into firearms and explains "there are no federal restrictions on an individual making a firearm for personal use, as long as it does not violate the GCA or National Firearms Act."
On Monday's radio show, our third hour guest will be James Grey, the CFO of guns80.com, which sells 80% receivers and kits that allow anyone with machining experience to construct their own AR-15 for private use. We will go into detail the exact nature of the laws that allow you do do this.
As the city of Ferguson, Mo., awaits a decision on whether a grand jury will indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of an unarmed black man this summer — which could come in days — sales of guns int he area of flying off the shelves.
When Darren is not indicted, there will be riots, and the blood in the streets will be seized on by the gun grabbers to push to outlaw all guns.
After returning home from Cabela's and checking on Facebook and the blog, I could not believe what was happening. Within a short amount of time nearly 400,000 people viewed the post on the Saturdays events, 940 had commented (99.9% in support for my family), and over 6100 shares (who knows how many viewed it from there). The Feds must have got the message also.
On"Sunday" (within 24 hours) Cabela's called me and said that they were contacted by the FBI and that I was free to buy a gun. According to the FBI fact sheet, back ground checks with a Delay status are assigned to a agent and are not processed on weekends or holidays.
Though other attempts to restrict guns at the federal level have failed during the Obama Administration, several states – including Connecticut – have successfully passed them – notably with the help of some very deep pockets and headline-grabbing media events.
A SWAT officer serving an early morning "no-knock" search warrant was killed after being shot in the head during the raid.
Officer Shaun Diamond, 45, succumbed to his injuries Wednesday in a Pasadena hospital. David Martinez, of San Gabriel, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of an officer.
This is absurd. If it was a no-knock warrant, then David had no way of knowing the intruder he was defending his home from was an officer!
Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year—or about 6,850 times a day.(1) This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.(2)
Even anti-gun Clinton researchers concede that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self-defense. According to the Clinton Justice Department, there are as many as 1.5 million cases of self-defense with a firearm every year. The National Institute of Justice published this figure in 1997 as part of "Guns in America"—a study which was authored by noted anti-gun criminologists Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig.(3)
"But you don't NEED guns. You have the police to protect you!" -- Official White Horse Souse
Piers Morgan tries to downplay Ebola and get the focus back on his gun-grab!
The District's newly minted concealed carry laws require gun owners seeking permits to complete 18 hours of firearms training.
One problem: As of Wednesday, the day before a court-ordered deadline for the permitting process to begin, no instructors had been approved to teach the compulsory course.
Registered gun owners in the United Kingdom are now subject to unannounced visits to their homes under new guidance that allows police to inspect firearms storage without a warrant.
The new policy from the British Home Office went into effect Oct. 15, permitting police and constabularies to conduct surprise home visits to legitimate gun owners.
Because getting a warrant to search the home of known criminals is just too bloody hard, mate!
According to Senator Tom Coburn's 2014 Wastebook on wasteful federal spending, the Department of Defense is set to spend $1 billion destroying $16 billion worth of ammo that it no longer intends to use.
Missouri state Senator Jamilah Nasheed, a Democrat who has sponsored several "anti-gun" bills in her state, was arrested Monday night during a protest outside of the Ferguson Police Department. However, it's what police officers found on her that is raising eyebrows.
A grandfather shot back and is believed to have killed a suspect in a home-invasion and attempted rape of his teen granddaughter on Monday night, Robeson County Sheriff's officials said.
The grandfather was also shot – but he also managed to shoot the 2 other suspects in the home-invasion and attempted rape, said Maj. Anthony Thompson with the Robeson County Sheriff's Office.
The incident started around 10 pm at a house on Yedda Road in Lumberton on Monday night when someone knocked on the home of the grandfather, his wife and their 19-year-old granddaughter, according to the sheriff's office.
I guess the three crooks thought they could get away with this because the police are busy writing tickets, harassing protesters, shooting dogs, and raiding Ocra gardens!
A state lawmaker from Scranton pulled out a gun last night on the streets of Harrisburg and shot at a robber, according to police.
Gun-control liberals have chosen an odd time to be foisting their misguided agenda on the American public. Consider the following facts about life in America. Felonious incidents such as assault and battery, car-napping, murder, abductions, robberies, school shootings, workplace violence, road rage, and home invasions are occurring at unprecedented levels. In fact, crime is up in most categories, except, that is, in communities where law-abiding citizens have legally armed themselves. In an Oklahoma company one employee was beheaded by a discontented Muslim extremist, but the lives of other employees were saved because a manager in the company was armed and took quick action. Although the mainstream media does much to cover up incidents in which lives are saved by armed Americans, this kind of thing happens all the time, and Americans know it. Consequently, citizens of all stripes—men and women, Democrats and Republicans—are arming themselves.
The Dearborn Heights District 7 Board of Education chose a less severe punishment for the honor student who was initially expelled after a pocketknife was found in her purse at a football game.
On Monday, after two hours of deliberation, the board voted 6-0 to allow Atiya Haynes to take online classes. She then will be able to graduate with her class in 2015.
The decision still came as a blow to college-bound Haynes, who participated in numerous extracurricular activities including sports.
School officials discovered the knife as she was exiting a bathroom at the game when they searched her purse.
Haynes says the pocketknife was a gift from her grandfather who gave it to her for protection because her summer job required her to ride her bike from southwest Detroit to Dearborn.
So the "educators" are going to wreck this kid's life over a self-defense weapon? Was she a hardened criminal with a record of violent behavior? On what grounds did they presume to search her purse? I would like to remind everyone that the Second Amendment reads "The right to keep and bear arms." It does NOT say "The right to keep and bear firearms." The Second Amendment reserves the right to the American people to keep and bear not only guns, but knives, swords, spears, or anything else. The United States Supreme Court ruled in United States versus Miller that the Second Amendment specifically refers to arms as carried by the uniformed military, and the uniformed military do carry knives!

While the FBI study discusses "mass shootings or killings," its graphs were filled with cases that had nothing to do with mass killings. Of the 160 cases it counted, 32 involved a gun being fired without anyone being killed. Another 35 cases involved a single murder.
The US does allow for creating a firearm from parts or kits, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which states: "[An] unlicensed individual may make a 'firearm' as defined in the GCA for his own personal use, but not for sale or distribution."
As a way to get around that law, manufacturers can make a semi-finished lower receiver that "isn't technically a gun, but gets as close to the line as possible," Ars Technica reported. The metal piece is usually 80 percent finished, and can be purchased from a variety of companies. The Ghost Gunner machine will finish the lower receiver, and then customers can purchase the rest of the AR-15 parts online, without being subjected to waiting periods or background checks.
Exercising the state's open-carry laws on firearms, Ohio residents brought their guns to a Walmart store to protest the officer-involved fatal shooting of African-American shopper John Crawford.
About 40 people rallied on Saturday in front of the Beavercreek Walmart to demonstrate against the death of Crawford, 22, who was shot to death by police inside the store on August 5.
Members of the Ohio Open Carry group carried signs which read, "I am John Crawford" and "Serve and Protect, Not Serve and Kill." They came to show solidarity with the Crawford family, and to protest the policies of the police department.
With 'ruthless efficiency', Anxiang Du repeatedly stabbed university lecturer Jifeng 'Jeff' Ding, 46, and his wife Helen, 47, in their kitchen, before moving upstairs where daughters Nancy, 18, and Alice, 12, were cowering in a bedroom.
What a shame that family was not allowed to own a personal protection firearm!
Americans took this country by revolution. And we beat the Brits by becoming guerrilla fighters against ordered ranks of Redcoats. With congress coming down on gun control, spinning every shooting incident toward anti-gun legislation, the revolutionaries of today have become smarter with new 3-D printers making guns. You can buy a $1,200 computer controlled milling machine that can create untraceable gun parts. I'm just passing this information on in the light of the new Gutenberg / Internet Revolution that we MUST win!
The National Rifle Association has struck back at former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, dinging him as the "ultimate hypocrite" for lobbying against Second Amendment rights for average Americans while maintaining his own personal armed security force.
A non-profit organization operating out of Austin, Texas, has created a gun-lover's dream-come-true: a multipurpose crafting tool that can churn out AR-15 rifle bodies with no serial number.

Wow! I guess those Roundup-resistant superweeds are getting to be a real problem!!!
A homegrown Islamist's beheading of an Oklahoma woman and his stabbing of a second female victim on Thursday followed by his being shot down by the victims' boss with his concealed gun is prima facie evidence that Americans need and should have unfettered access to personal firearms in order to defend themselves and others from Muslim terrorists and common thugs who prey on the defenseless, a gun rights expert and advisor to major police organizations told the Examiner on Friday.
On Friday, police reported that two women were brutally attacked in Oklahoma City on Thursday at their workplace. One of those women died, her head severed from her body in the gruesome assault. The other woman survived, her attacker having been stopped by a citizen carrying a concealed handgun. Without the weapon, Traci Johnson might be laying in the morgue instead of recovering at the same hospital where her attacker is being treated today.
SOUTH Australia needs a blanket ban on gun ownership in metropolitan areas to save lives and improve public safety, a respected senior SA judge has declared.
In a move that will ignite debate on gun laws, Supreme Court Justice Michael David said the issue of "gun availability'' had been a recurring theme in a significant number of cases he had presided over during his 18 years on the District and Supreme Court benches.
He believes removing them from the community would prevent a significant number of domestic shootings.
"My view is I think our guns laws are pretty tight, they are not too bad. But my view on guns is not confined to that,'' he said.
"In my view, and it is a fairly utopian view, I can't see why anyone in this city should own a gun. I think a gun with a licence is just as dangerous as a gun without a licence.
Former New York Mayor MichaelR. Bloomberg's gun control group announced a round of candidate endorsements this week, but his plan to pour $50 million into gun control efforts appears to be struggling to find campaigns to back in nationally watched races.
A United Nations agency is proposing a ban on lead ammunition worldwide, which would serve as backdoor gun control by making ammo prohibitively expensive.
The United Nations Convention on Migratory Species, operating under the U.N. Environment Programme, is meeting in Quito, Ecuador on Nov. 4-9 to discuss and act on the lead ban recommended by a scientific council.
Reference material for the conference suggests that "voluntary approaches to restricting use of lead ammunition" do not work on a national level and for a proposed ban to work, a "range of societal issues" would need to be addressed, including "philosophical issues regarding gun rights and increased government oversight of shooting."
They must be REALLY scared of the people right now!
A reluctant District of Columbia Council voted unanimously Tuesday to allow people to carry concealed handguns in the nation's capital for the first time in nearly 40 years.
The bill was crafted to comply with a court ruling that struck down the District's ban on carrying handguns outside the home.
On September 8 NBC's Today show aired a segment on how to survive a home invasion. That advice included cooperating with the invaders -- "treat them like royalty" -- and telling them the location of everything they want in the house.
Attention thieves, murderers, and rapists. Feel free to enter the home of the executives over at NBC, as you will clearly have an easy time with them. Meanwhile, be aware that if you enter my house, you will be treated like royalty, such as Charles I, Louise XVI, Tsar Nicholas II, Ludwig III, just to name a few.
The Obama administration quietly has been forcing new gun buyers to declare their race and ethnicity, a policy change that critics say provides little law enforcement value while creating the risk of privacy intrusions and racial profiling.
A Bedford County man was charged with having a weapon on school property after police at Pitt-Johnstown said they found an ax in his truck.
Campus police charged Andrew Duncan Kinzer, 23, of the 500 block of Koontzville Road, Bedford, with weapon possession, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
Early last year, as Americans feared that the federal government would enact unconstitutional anti-gun measures via executive edict, support for the Constitution came from some unlikely places. Even in Oregon, a Democrat stronghold in elections, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller flat-out declared that he and his office would refuse to enforce any such unconstitutional federal laws or regulations.
Mueller wrote,
"We are Americans. We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws."
"We really don't know what happened," says Sam Scarbado, the man who purportedly runs the shooting range. That makes no sense. The man shows not emotion, 'acting' entirely matter of fact. Bibb Wearing a NYPD shirt in one interview, he is joined in the hoax by a girl from New York. It stinks like a Michael Bloomberg gun control hoax. Too, the UZI is an Israeli weapon. It cannot be a coincidence, since it is the Zionists who are behind the international gun control hoax.
A look at the scene raises great suspicion of the hoax. There is no crime scene. There is no evidence of the spillage of blood on site. There are no images of emergency care there. Instead, all that is seen is talking heads.
Whether you agree with the wars or not (and I do NOT), we owe a debt of honor for those who put on the uniform to take care of them if they return from duty with crippling injuries. We demand that the US government, which claims to represent We The People, fulfill that debt before sending a single penny of our tax dollars to any foreign government.
California's 10-day waiting period for gun purchases was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge this morning in a significant victory for Second Amendment civil rights. The laws were challenged by California gun owners Jeffrey Silvester and Brandon Combs, as well as two gun rights groups, The Calguns Foundation and Second Amendment Foundation.
City sees fewer homicides, robberies, burglaries, car thefts as Illinois residents take arms
Common sense has to tell you that at the very least, the Second Amendment reserves to the people the right to keep and bear arms equal if not superior to those used by the criminals.
H.R. 5344 is a bill currently going through Congress that would ban the purchase of body armor.
Violation would carry CRIMINAL penalties, including up to ten years in prison.
Many bullet-resistant items on the market now, such as bulletproof backpacks for school children, would be banned by this legislation.
This is incredible given that the legislation is all about banning something that is purely defensive.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel voiced support on Twitter for Michael Bloomberg after the National Rifle Association purchased ad time to attack the former New York mayor's gun control work.
"No leader has done more to help end gun violence than @MikeBloomberg. He deserves our praise, not the NRA's shameful attacks," according to a tweet this morning on Emanuel's official Twitter account.
This from the mayor of a city with very strict gun control and one of the highest murder rates in the country.
The crazies at Moms Demand Action, one of Bloomberg's many anti-gun groups, are trying to force the massive chain Kroger to ban guns in all 2500 of their stores. The group says they are targeting this specific grocery storebecause they say there have been 12 shootings on Kroger's property over the past 4 years.
Kroger basically told them to shove it. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best answer Kroger can give in a situation like this.
The value of private-sector weapons and related training delivered to Mexico during the first 10 months of President Enrique Peña Nieto's presidency tallied $78.4 million and was on par with similar defense-article shipments during two of the last three years of Felipe Calderón's presidency.
Monticello, New York, Democratic Mayor Gordon Jenkins—a member of Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns—was arrested Thursday on bribery charges, the latest in a long string of legal and ethical foibles by Jenkins.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr., a pro-gun lawmaker who won his Democratic primary despite the $150,000 that Michael Bloomberg tossed in the race to defeat him, said the former New York City mayor "made a huge miscalculation."
"He didn't understand the political climate on the ground here in Milwaukee County," Sheriff Clarke said, during a "Fox & Friends" interview about his victory in the face of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns co-creator who tried to unseat him. "I have a lot of support for my position on support for the Second Amendment, for people to be able to defend themselves and the pro-gun movement."
This week's death of former White House press secretary James Brady, who survived a gunshot wound to the head in a 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, has been ruled a homicide by a medical examiner, District of Columbia police said Friday.
The gun-grabbers have their latest bloody shirt.
President Obama and his cronies in Congress have been doing their best to force gun control measures into law, politicizing every shooting that comes along to help get public support for trampling the Constitution.
One of the most bizarre DEA stings to date and one which may have links to government protected overseas drug-running operations.
James Smith, Contributor Activist Post
There are two stories that have come to light recently, the first is the awarding of a contract to a munitions manufacturer for 450,000,000 hollow point rounds for the .40 caliber.
The second story which I wrote is how the Department of Homeland Security had already ordered 200,000,000 rounds of .40 caliber, but also ordered 15,000 gun cleaning kits for the .40 caliber weapons, and has put a request out for a virtual shooting gallery for the .40 caliber handguns.
650,000,000 round of ammunition is quite a bit of lead and brass. It will sure to drive the price of copper and brass way up. But Homeland Security is not alone in their requests.

First International Bedroom Poll Released
Posted: September 16, 2013
page 2 of 5
One-fourth of those in the U.K. (27%), the U.S. (25%) and Canada (23%) say they rarely or never get a good night's sleep during the work week. Notably, one-in-ten in the U.K. (11%) say they never get a good night's sleep on work nights, twice the percentage of the other countries surveyed.
Despite slightly higher reported sleep satisfaction, almost one-third of Japanese (31%, about twice the rate of all other countries surveyed,) say they rarely or never woke up when they needed to during the work week, suggesting more sleep is desired.
"It is important to look at cultural differences in sleep, and not always to assume a U.S. focus," says Jan Born, professor of Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of Tubingen, Germany and a member of the NSF 2013 International Bedroom Poll expert panel. "Sleep is deeply inter-connected with health and performance, but it is often overlooked by researchers. This poll shows intriguing cultural variations on how we tackle this nightly, biological ritual."
What makes a great bedroom? The answer may surprise you.
Roughly nine-out-of-ten in Mexico (92%), Germany (90%) and the U.K. (86%) and three-fourths in the U.S. (78%), and Canada (78%) agree they feel more relaxed if their bedroom has a fresh, pleasant scent. Moreover, the majority of nationalities surveyed (65%-79%) agree they take steps to make sure their bedrooms smell the way they want.
"Studies have shown that scent plays a powerful role in relaxation and memory-building," says David Cloud, National Sleep Foundation CEO. "Having a pleasant scent and a relaxing bedroom routine can contribute to a good night's sleep. No matter what your nationality, you will spend about a third of your life in bed. Fresh air and a pleasant scent are great ways to improve your sleep experience."

Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I know about the obvious choking hazards (grapes, candy, hot dogs) but are there others that I should be aware of to keep my baby safe? Kids under age five can choke on food and small objects. Believe it or not, a lot of the choking prevention advice for babies still holds for children up to 4 to 7 years old![ ] Your baby should sit up while eating, and be supervised at all times[ ] Don't hurry your child when eating -- allow plenty of time for meals[ ] Only put a small amount of food on the tray at a time[ ] Avoid peanut butter -- it's a choking hazard[ ] Avoid round, firm foods and chunks (hot dogs, nuts, meat/cheese chunks, whole grapes, hard or sticky candy, popcorn, raw carrots, other firm, raw fruit or vegetable chunks)[ ] Avoid foods that are sharp or angular (tortilla chips, potato chips, bagel chips)[ ] Avoid foods that are small enough to be accidentally inhaled instead of swallowed (seeds, shelled nuts, popcorn, raisins)[ ] Avoid stringy foods like string beans and celery.[ ] Do not offer your baby honey before one year of age due to risk of botulism[ ] The size of the pieces of food that you offer your baby depends on their oral motor skills. Start small, and when you think they are ready to progress, make the pieces a little bit larger. If it appears that your baby is not able to manage it in their mouth, go back to the smaller size, and try again with the larger size in a couple of weeks. Nicole Meadow, MPN, RD, nutritionist Q&A: Safe solids for baby? . honeydip730 | Q&A: Safe solids for baby? Know your baby. My daughter has issues when a grape is cut in 1/4 or 1/2 but is able to eat a whole grape without choking. Stay cailm if a situation does arrise. The child is less likely to choke if you stay claim & not scream take that out. Find key words that work with your child. Mine is "let go." When I use a stern voice, my daughter will drop what she has, open her mouth (if it is there) or will not touch the object. My friend uses the key phrase "leave it." luvah | Want to participate?

text: you asked... Could My Medication Affect My Fertility? What medications can affect my fertility? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: What medications can affect my fertility? Any time you visit your doctor -- especially if you're seeing your gynecologist, OB or a fertility expert -- you can expect to be asked what type of medications, if any, you're currently taking. That's because virtually every type of prescription medication is classified according to its potential pregnancy and fertility risks. Category B drugs (things like acetaminophen) are generally thought to be safe in pregnancy. Category C meds carry a higher risk ("risk cannot be ruled out"), meaning there aren't a lot of good studies on pregnant women with this medication, but usually the potential benefits may outweigh the potential risks. Category D drugs mean studies in humans or investigational data have demonstrated a risk to the fetus. And Category X drugs are just plain no-gos, with studies showing they can specifically cause harm.Although these classifications relate specifically to pregnancy, certain medications can also have a direct effect on your ability to get pregnant. For example, some antianxiety or antidepression medications can impact the same brain chemicals that control ovulation. If your partner is taking antihypertensive medications to control high blood pressure, he may have difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, which would obviously make it challenging for you to get pregnant. And if he's taking steroids or other androgen products (with or without your knowledge), his testosterone levels can ironically plummet, wiping out sperm production. Other steroids, like cortisone and prednisone (used to treat conditions like asthma or lupus), can also cause your ovaries to stop ovulating. You owe it to yourself to make sure you tell your doctor everything about what medications you are taking, even a vitamin or supplement.

Above and beyond: Arizona and the medal of honor
An exhibit telling Arizona's amazing history with the Medal of Honor
Presented by the Arizona Historical Society and Sharlot Hall Museum
Presented by the Arizona Historical Society and Sharlot Hall Museum
Above and Beyond features five actual Medals of Honor earned by a diverse mix of military service members, either in actions conducted in Arizona or by our state's native sons at war abroad.
One of these, incredibly, was buried under a layer of dirt and discovered by chance by Dwain Oliver, a modern day "history saver" with his metal detector. The story of its recipient remains almost completely unknown.

Book Review: Spatial Justice and the Irish Crisis, eds: Gerry Kearns, David Meredith, and John Morrissey, Royal Irish Academy (2014)
The new book Spatial Justice and the Irish Crisis, edited by Gerry Kearns, David Meredith, and John Morrissey and published by the Royal Irish Academy is extremely timely given its extensive analysis and detail on the causes of the Irish financial crisis, its socio-spatial impacts on inequality and suggestions for alternative, social-justice based, economic development. The Irish elite, government, big business and media are trumpeting that 'austerity' and 'neoliberalism' have worked. The Irish economy is now fully in 'recovery' it is claimed, 'austerity' will be eased with tax breaks again to be given out to the middle classes, employment is rising and we have a mini property boom in Dublin to celebrate. Even potential social partnership agreements are floating in the political air. However, it is now more than ever that critical political, economic, and socio-spatial justice analysis of the Irish economy is required. Rather than cheerleading blindly into another boom and bust cycle based on inequality and spatial injustice there is a need for academics and policy makers to engage in rigorous analysis and reflection on the crisis and the political economic trajectory for the coming decades.
Prof Gerry Kearns, of the Maynooth University Department of Geography, in the Introduction to the book, draws on President Higgins' reflection on the importance of 'critical thought' in the wake of 'failed orthodoxies' as 'the crisis is one of ideas as well as of policy'. Now more than ever, space and time must be given in the academic and public sphere in Ireland to identify the causes of the crisis, its impact on inequality, and alternative (non-capitalist) policies and approaches based on the common good and social justice rather than the interests of the minority elite – the 1%.
This book does this by placing social and spatial justice as an urgent consideration in all areas of social and economic policy. Interestingly, Kearns highlights how government responses to the current crisis go against Articles contained in the Irish Constitution including commitments of the state to 'promot[ing] the welfare of the whole people by securing and protecting as effectively as it may a social order in which justice and charity shall inform all institutions of the national life' (Article 45.1). Significantly, this also includes ensuring that 'the ownership and control of the material resources may be so distributed amongst private individuals and the various classes as best to subserve the common good' (Article 45.2.ii).
The book covers the origins of the financial crisis, its political and territorial implications such as the outsourcing of state power to international credit rating agencies, the links between crisis, housing and planning, the uneven impacts of the crisis in different parts of the country and unevenly within cities such as failed regeneration, impacts on equality of opportunity, marginalization of migrants, and sustainability. Within these areas it addresses the questions of spatial justice and where the pain of crisis and the opportunities of recovery are distributed, geographically and socially. It highlights the uneven development that was at the heart of the Celtic Tiger in the inequalities that persisted through that period, how they were worsened by the crash and the forms in which they continue today.
The chapter by Prof Danny Dorling, Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford, on Spatial Justice, Housing and the Financial crisis makes important links between rising inequality and housing crises internationally. This chapter is very interesting for an Irish audience as it highlights how the current housing crisis in Ireland has similar causes to other countries and there is much we can learn in regard to social justice based responses. Dorling argues that "we really need to think of housing again as a way in which we feel safe about where we are: not as a source of investment or a pension or something that can be used for profit, but instead as primarily a source of shelter". He offers suggestions to address this such as a mansions tax, rent control, and using second and third homes for housing for those who need it. He explains that "housing is fundamental. It is what lies at the bottom of this crisis. Housing is one of the basic things that everybody needs and that policies can work out a way to guarantee." He surmises that the reason this is not the case is because current policy appears to be "trying to protect the equity interest of a small proportion of people who happen to own quite a lot of very expensive housing".

As linked on the SSF this morning, there's a growing consensus that Kevin Payne and Toronto FC did alright at the MLS SuperMegaAmazingDraft yesterday by swapping their four hundred picks for Garber's Monopoly Money, and still walking out with Kyle Bekker, a player that Ben Rycroft believes is underrated only because he's Canadian.
I was struck though by Payne's remarks though at the draft:
"We really wanted [Emery Welshman]," Payne said. "We thought there was a chance we might lose him. But we were okay with other guys that we wanted. It's just trying to understand what the probabilities are." Bekker, the MVP of the MLS Combine, saw his stock rise dramatically, and Payne was thrilled to land the Canadian U-23 international.
"Technically he's very, very good," said Payne. "He's so sound technically, he can play quickly. But tactically, he's way ahead of anybody else in the draft, and his understanding of what's going on in the middle of the park."
Kevin Payne is the Toronto FC president. I'm not an insider MLS guy (no matter what I tell my mom) but it seemed to me yesterday that most of the guys doing the talking in the draft were head coaches. Columbus sent out Robert Warzycha to give some press quote fodder. Ditto with Revs coach Jay Heaps.
I'm thinking Payne may be more GM than president. Most MLS presidents either share the soccer side of the operation with the business side, or tend to front office business operations exclusively and leave the rest to the GM (as in LA with Bruce Arena). Nothing is really fixed. These are, after all, mere corporate titles.
Still, I and others had it on good information ahead of MLSE hiring Payne that Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment did not want a guy meddling with the business side of things, and so Kevin Payne seems to have been their Soccer Guy pick. This was, and now is…disappointing. The last thing Toronto FC needed was yet another self-styled football expert coming in and showing everyone how to make football pie. What they needed was to revamp TFC as an organization, one prone to cliques, politicking, and petty subterfuge (and in some cases, particularly with regard to agents, something a little more nefarious). Hiring a suitable soccer person and then demarcating a clear line between the soccer and business side of the operation would have been the next step in establishing a professional club ready to compete in Major League Soccer—not League Two, and not the Eredivisie.
Even more alarming was learning from Aaron Stollar this week that Payne's critics almost always point to his need to control all aspects of the soccer side of the operation.
What does this mean for Toronto FC? Essentially that TFC may be without a president. Instead, they have a GM and a head coach. Which is fine I guess, but not what the club really needed.

on March 21, 2013They say that March is madness for college basketball players. But heroes go to war every day on Twitter, fighting for followers, fending off trolls, and out-smarting the sharpest minds the Internet can offer up. Countless tweeters have been left behind. But the best of the best the wittiest, the most artful, the most inflammatory have made it to our tournament. And screw that meritocratic seeding crap from the NCAAs. We built this thing for the match-ups. God versus science. Donald versus philosophy. Bieber versus Bissinger.
It's on you to decide who survives each round. Before the billings of the battles is a survey. Fill it out and see if your favorites make it to the next round. And print out a bracket for your own foretelling.
Let's get to this.
Kanye was the world's most controversial rapper. Then Tyler came along. Both keep their followers on edge Kanye sporadically lists qualities he respects (his feed this year: "Truth." "Beauty." "Minimalism." "Emotion." "Soul." "Awesomeness." "Functionality." "Authenticity."), and there's occasional poetry in Tyler's rambles ("WHAT IF THE WAY I SEE BLUE IS THE WAY YOU SEE YELLOW?"). But only one brand of WTF can win out.
A pair of pasty stand-ups going head-to-head. Patton's got the follower edge, and, admittedly, an ESQ&A bump. But don't sleep on Birbiglia. He's got a social media outfit of his own that just campaigned for his film and he's given himself an Esquire attaboy before, too.
Twitters two most polarizing figures face off at last. Who will prevail? The masterful artist whose crude outbursts and Olympian temper threaten to undo him? Or Buzz Bissinger?
Did God create the universe, or did we create him to explain it? That and so much more will be decided as the hectoring, Old Testament-era @TheTweetOfGod faces off against the sublimely mind-expanding Hubble Telescope. Both will make you feel small; only one will do so in a good way.
We love Mia Farrow. We really do. But we also love Yoko Ono. What we love more is that both women have taken to Twitter so naturally to broadcast their urgent political pleas. We almost hate to pit them against each other. But it must be done.
The elegant English philosopher Alain de Botton squares off against Americas leading vulgarian on matters of great importance. Trump: Bombings all over Iraq today. That country is falling apart-such a horrible waste of lives and 1.5 trillion dollars (and I told you so!). De Botton: Definition of a failure: someone who needs others to fail.
How does a sports analyst explain the recent impenetrable Skip Bayless/Richard Sherman kerfuffle? By tamely saying "Nobody won" and getting suspended from Twitter for it like the actual Bill Simmons? Or declaring "#RichardSherman vivisected the charlatan known as Skip Bayless by ripping off his head, defecating down his throat & trampling on his soul!" like Not Bill Walton. Game on.
Two beloved nerds duking it out over Pi Day jokes. Who will throw their trademark science outfits to the ground first Neil and his celestial vest, or Nye with his light-blue white-coat and bow-tie?
If someone ten years ago told you that two of the original stars of Star Trek would become two of the most beloved and intensely followed personalities on the Internet, you would have probably laughed in their face. And yet now it all somehow makesperfect sense.
It's a question, obviously, of how you like your Seinfeld. As if the show never stopped and continued into our current pop-culture landscape ("Jerry makes a joke about Taylor Swift on the tonight show. Swift writes a song about him.")? Or just Seinfeld, rich dude with a lot of cars and a lot of time on his hands ("I love when my wife says things like 'surface area'")? Tough call.
Will true stories of the from the Sunshine State out-ridiculous the New York Times covering laughably self-evident stories? Is a man angrily shoveling a pile of mud at his neighbor more absurd than reporting on what's on people's nightstands?
There's no denying Ebert's staying power. After decades as a film critic and losing his lower jaw to cancer, he remains as wise and upright as ever. Possibly more so. But Nussbaum, a critic for the New Yorker, has the hook on anyone who's addicted to TV. Which is a lot of people on the Internet these days.
Twitter's golden boy is comedian Delaney, who happily spews typo-ridden grossness to the well-known, like, to Fox News and Paul Ryan, "Why do wealthies have to poo out of their own butts ,cant a poor or a wommen do it ." But can underdog and Chappelle Show co-creator Neal Brennan with his more traditionally offensive approach: "Guantanamo Bay prison is like an NYC electronics store: Full of Middle Eastern dudes + always about to go out of business."
Can a lanky ginger talk-show host put his Ed McMahon in his place? Depends on whether you prefer Conan's self-effacement ("Happy St. Patrick's Day. I'm celebrating my family's long history of depression and ineffectual rage.") or Andy's whimsy ("HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE WILDERNESS: Call someone and have them come pick you up.").
Two we'll say it beautiful women. Two blogs and columns. Two often opposing takes on the capitol. One who's had John McCain as a reporting subject. The other who has John McCain as her dad. Both with a puncher's chance of lasting a while in this thing.
Both are award-winning, self-deprecating female comedy auteurs. But let's get down to what really matters: Who's funnier in 140 characters? Lena: "Meanwhile, I really hate it when Cesar gets bitten on the Dog Whisperer. It makes me feel humiliated and lonely."? Or Mindy: "So my type is Joffrey Baratheon and Draco Malfoy."

From The Archive is a special Friday feature. It features posts from my earlier (now-deleted) blog: Stuff & Nonsense and a few items from previous versions of A Tangled Rope that I feel deserve reprinting here, mainly as a way of archiving them. The dates are only approximate, I'm afraid, and there is a possibility that some links may no longer work (although, I will try to remember to test the links before republishing the piece).
So, This is Real Life - 02/08/2005
Movies Just Don't Matter in the LA Times (Link through Arts Journal).
It is something I first thought about ages ago now. The way that 'celebrity' lives have taken over the entertainment landscape and become the dominant form of entertainment today, eclipsing film, TV entertainment programmes, pop music and… well, just about everything.
So much so, that even the 'arts' are defined in terms of 'celebrity' - think Tracey Emin, JK Rowling, Franz Ferdinand - well, anyone on the culture pages of the posh papers, really, and how - almost invariably - they are presented in a similar way to any other reality TV 'star', latest pop sensation, soap opera actor and so on.
It seems as though, if you are willing to play the 'celebrity' game - enter into this symbiotic relationship with the media where each of you feeds off the other - then you must accept that your life will become a form of soap-opera played out in the pages and on the screens of media land. It ceases to become a 'real' life, and more a sequence of images and scenes and fantasies played out in front of an audience. Forget street theatre, performance art and all those other shallow simulacrums - the 'celebrity life' is now the popular culture art-form of the age. As the LA Times article says:
Watching a movie used to tickle viewers to want to know more about its stars. Today, knowing about the stars is an end in itself.
I suppose the irony of it all, and what the article misses, is that these so-called real celebrity lives are as much a work of fiction as the latest Hollywood blockbuster. There are created through PR with the witting (more often than acknowledged), or unwitting, connivance of the media, in the creation of the narrative of the 'life'.
I suppose this also explains the rise of 'reality' TV (In itself, as much of a fiction as any other media construction). Where the viewers see the story unfold right in front of their eyes. It even gives the illusion that the viewers (voyeurs) have some influence in the unfolding of the narrative, and why its 'stars' later are often promoted into 'celebrities' themselves.
Of course, if you read J.G. Ballard (and if not, why not?), none of this will come as much of a surprise to you.

I received an e-mail a week or two ago about a sketchbook project in Brooklyn. The aim is to get 5,000 artists to submit sketchbooks and the art show is made up of 5,000 individual and unique sketchbooks. Not one will be like the other. Just like fingerprints. Artistic vision and execution is a singular approach and not one other soul will execute the artistic process the same way.
I was asked to join this sketchbook art show. The opening is in June at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. My sketchbook must be completed and stamped by April 30th. I have yet to receive the sketchbook, but I have ideas floating around. I know what my central theme will be. It's a theme I carry with my everyday. It's a theme others need to learn about and understand. I am dedicating my art work to two artists in particular. Auguste Renoir and Edith Piaf. Renoir a visual painter master and Piaf the songbird of Paris. They both suffered from severe, and I mean severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. I always admired them before my diagnosis, but to know I share artistic vision and RA with two greats, well that gives me inspiration. I am looking forward to this cathartic process. Just like my blog is a verbal expression, my sketchbook will be a visual expression. Once I get started, I will update once in a while to let my readers (if I have any) how the process is going.
Please take a minute to see what Renoir's Rheumatism did to him at the end of his life. His RA did not take away his ability to paint. Instead, they created a device for his mangled RA eaten hands to hold a paintbrush and he continued some of his masterpieces.
Renoir's hands...
Paintings by those great hands and mind...
Then the songbird, Edith Piaf
Here is a real clip of her singing
You can see how her Rheumatoid Arthritis severely mangled her hands, so much so they were just fists because they were so atrophied with disease.
Then, a couple years back, Marion Cotillard portrayed Edith Piaf and her struggles with the disease in the French movie, "La Vie En Rose". The movie showed how she was addicted to heavy duty narcotics just to deal with the pain and disability of Rheumatism (now aptly named Rheumatoid Arthritis). The movie was wonderful and moving. Marion won an Oscar for that role.
Here is the trailer of the movie: I might add that it chronicled her disease in a realistic fashion (even if they don't show that in the trailer).
The ending scene showing what the disease of RA did to a gifted woman.
I hope to make my sketchbook in the honor of these two greats.....well, something they would be proud of in modern times. Same disease, different era.
Here is my little box of sketching materials. Will it make an overall masterpiece? Only time will tell.
To look at the art project page, please go here.

You may not have considered adding pads to your chairs before, but there are some good reasons to do so. Kitchen chair pads have many advantages.
They're Comfortable
Many kitchen and dining room chairs are wood, which is beautiful but hard. When eating or socializing around the dining room or kitchen table, you want to be as comfortable as possible. Chair pads make your chairs more comfortable, inviting family and guests to linger for coffee and conversation more often.
They're Functional
Chair pads can not only increase the comfort of your chairs, they can offer other benefits as well. They can help children and the elderly sit higher, making it easier for them to eat, reach things on the table and to socialize with the rest of the group. A good chair pad can also help encourage your kids to sit up properly in their chairs, which may be better for their posture and for their table manners.
They Enhance Your Decor
Chair pads are a great way to spruce up your kitchen or dining set quickly and easily. You can add some color and pattern, which can liven up the entire room. Choose pads that pick up colors from the carpeting, curtains or your favorite table linens. If you're feeling creative, you can even mix and match colors and patterns for an eclectic look.
Take a look at your dining room or kitchen table. Does it need a little something? Imagine the difference a few chair pads could make.
