Nebraska senator compares police to ISIS, says he’d shoot a cop
Via Joe
Mach noted Chambers also has challenged his opponents to hit him in the
mouth, has said we shouldn’t take care of military veterans and espoused
that all whites are racist.
A black Nebraska state senator compared American police to Islamic terrorists and suggested he’d shoot a cop if only he had a weapon.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers said during a legislative hearing on gun bills Friday that you don’t have to go halfway around the world to find an ISIS mentality. It can be found in America because police terrorize blacks every day.
He was referring to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which has beheaded journalists and brutally executed Westerners and others.
“My ISIS is the police,” Chambers said, adding police can get away with shooting people if they “think” they’re going to do something — like pull a weapon.
“The police are licensed to kill us — children, old people,” he said.
After his comments were reported by Nebraska Watchdog and picked up by national media outlets, several Nebraska officials called on him to apologize and a senator said lawmakers are considering censuring him.

During the National Vaccine Advisory Committee’s (NVAC) February meeting, American adults were put on notice by Big Brother that non-compliance with federal vaccine recommendations will not be tolerated. Public health officials have unveiled a new plan to launch a massive nationwide vaccination promotion campaign involving private business and non-profit organizations to pressure all adults to comply with the adult vaccination schedule approved by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).1

After watching the ATF tuck tail and reverse their decision to ban M855 ammunition, law makers in the U.S. have now decided to take big steps towards protecting ammo from future bans as well.
Out of the great state of NC, Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry has proposed legislation that would protect (and possibly help reinstate) all types of rifle ammunition.
The text of the proposed legislation reads.

THE EXPERIMENT
Via Safetalker
The frost in the air comes from the fool crown’s tether.
Those who would dare to bring up a scare
Will bring the disgusted together.
They march to the tune of a different songbird,
The crown didn’t listen and got the wrong words.
These souls understood there’s a much greater Good,
And that’s what the strong should prefer.
They gathered together to forge a new plan,
A country whose power was bestowed on man.
In the heat of the day and with so much to weigh,
One said, “I don’t know if we can.”

They say that writing is good for the soul, and my soul needs something good. So, I think it’s time I talked about being one of the Southern white babies raised by a black maid. Sometimes, I forget that I not only grew up during the Civil Rights struggle, I grew up in the middle of it. It wasn’t something that we watched on the news every evening that took place somewhere else in the country – we watched it out the windows of the car, or out the windows of the church, or out the door of our store.
Or even literally in our own front yard. It was right there.
I know from talking with soldiers that their recollections of a particular battle are quite different from historical accounts written afterward. Historical accounts have a tendency to trim the edges in order to make something a better narrative and more digestible, when in fact, the real thing is usually chaotic, fluid, completely indescribable, and very hard to articulate. Things that make perfect sense in your head no longer make any sense at all when they’re spoken or written down.
That’s exactly the way I would describe my experience with the Civil Rights struggle. People outside the South have so many preconceived notions based on their examination of old black-and-white footage and documentaries that they often correct me on my own personal memories.
Reminds me of mine, Bert Mudd.

Texas:Thieves Take $200,000 in money, jewelry, and 45 guns
Via Joe
When Joe Lohmeier returned last weekend from his trip to Mexico, he immediately knew something was amiss. There were leaves and dirt all throughout his Texas home.
“You could tell people had been tracking through,” Lohmeier told KVUE-TV in Austin.
His suspicions were confirmed after heading to a room where he stores his safe, valuables and gun collection.
“The safe was backed in,” Lohmeier told the station. “They had turned it, and I was just in shock to find its diamond blade cut open.”

Scot’s Product Review: Valley Food Storage Meals
The angst of buying the right storage foods made me feel as if I was stuck in a drama, so I turned to Shakespeare and found a suitable quote in The Comedy of Errors: “Unquiet meals make ill digestions.” Although it wasn’t his best play, by a long shot, and the character had more on her mind than food, the thought does have some application to my household.
I mentioned in another review that my wife is a pretty intense food person, who loves gourmet meals and is a serious cook. My ten-year-old son is surprising in liking a large variety of cuisines, but he stubbornly draws the line on things like onions and a number of vegetables. He also insists that each food stay in its place on his plate and not be mixed up. He also inherited my wife’s need for quality on the dinner table. I’m the low brow, and as long as it’s not kimchi, mushrooms, or raw tomatoes, (My goodness, his Momma must not have raised him right) I can probably manage to get it down. I may not enjoy it, but it’s just fuel, right? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good meal, but I can get by without one for a lot longer than anyone else in the house.

Once in danger of collapse, two historic barns are restored in King William
Via Sister Anne
One of my Grandfather James L. Townsend's Farms and the picture from my teen years.
A few hundred feet off Route 360 on the way to Manquin, a shock of fresh red paint marks the restoration of a county landmark that holds nearly a century of history and a smaller barn that's more than twice as old.
Dilapidated and in need of repair, both Prestley Barn and the Old Virginia Barn were falling into ruin until a December 2013 transaction offered the historic structures a second chance to shine. Emily Townsend, wife of William Guy Townsend, (My uncle) whose family owned the property for about 65 years, answered the call from local preservationist Carroll Lee Walker.
"He called up that day in December and said, 'Ms. Emily, I've got an option to buy Prestley Park,' " she said. "He made my day."
