 It happened in the 200 block of South Florida around 5:47 a.m. Police officials say the 28-year old female victim called 9-1-1 to report a man was standing in front of her car and was refusing to leave. 

Upon officers arrival, they found 29-year old Brandon Allen Stallings standing in the alley next to the victim's car.

As the officers approached Stallings, police say he then pointed a handgun at the victim's car and fired multiple times into the windshield. The victim was struck several times by the bullets. She was taken to Northwest Texas Hospital with what police say are life-threatening injuries.
 


Stallings dropped the gun and fled on foot. After a short foot pursuit officers were able to arrest Stallings. He's been booked into the Potter County Jail on charges of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and Evading Arrest. Police say it's suspected that Stallings is the victims ex-boyfriend. Their investigation into the incident continues.

The absurd idea that compromise was ever going to work was absurd. The left doesn't compromise, instead it uses each compromise as proof of insincerity. The only way to beat the left is to never compromise with the left. Once you try to find common ground, then you've given up the fight in a fight that never ends.

"Our form of compulsory schooling is an invention of the state of Massachusetts around 1850.  It was resisted—sometimes with guns—by an estimated eighty percent of the Massachusetts population, the last outpost in Barnstable on Cape Cod not surrendering its children until 1880's when the area was seized by militia and children marched to school under guard."   From that point forward, literacy rates dropped in the state, and have not since recovered.

 In case Race is the next god to fail, there is Climate waiting in the wings. Like "scientific socialism", its dogma is in fact anti-scientific, since when its predictions are shown false, it simply shifts the goalposts, so that it can never be falsified (in the scientific meaning of that term). Hence, falsified "man-made global warming" becomes "climate change". The Left really cannot beat a doctrine in which breathing is taxable and must be controlled by the state.

In issue No. 9 of al Qaeda's English language Inspire magazine, there's a section called Open Source Jihad. In it, the author uses pictures and diagrams to show readers how to start forest fires in America using what he calls "ember bombs" ... They talk about the correct wind patterns to set a forest fire in. The right season, the right time of year, the correct temperature—all designed to cause the maximum amount of carnage and death.

I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.

Our opponents, it is becoming clearer, wish us dead, or at least silenced. They cloak that essential truth with a bodyguard of lies. They believe, truly believe, that if they win the political argument in a rigged game in which both political parties participate that that will be the end of it—they will have won and we will have lost. They do not respect us because we do not respect ourselves.

Every sane person had better hope and pray against violence. This goes for you, Mike, and everyone like you. I understand your efforts and I know why you prepare. This thing could blow-out at any seam, at any moment, and it is only prudent to be ready if that happens. I, for one, would have far, far greater esteem for anyone ready—like me—to present themselves for imprisonment in order to demonstrate to the whole world just what this regime appears to be ready to destroy... the final and terrible resort to violence would yet be available.

There is a crash about to happen yet no one understands the noise nor will hear it. The United States of America is about to pay a $150+ trillion bill for decades of arrogance, waste, and spending on foolishness which will result in the collapse of Imperium yet the citizens as usual will never know it until the barbarians are inside the gates. The crash is not financial or economic. Sadly, it is the worst crash of them all: Our system of government.

Self-Igniting Fire Starter

Via Ol' Remus


 

I am always on the lookout for a new fire starter, and when I find a new idea, of course I have to try it out!

Well I have found a new interesting concept and I thought I might share my attempt with it.  It is a fire starter that has an ignition source, an accelerent, and fuel, all in one.  And an additional benefit is they are waterproof!  The idea here is to take a Strike Anywhere match, wrap it in toilet paper, and then dip it completely in paraffin.

I can’t take the credit for this idea as I saw it a few months ago on a YouTube video by the “intenseangler”.  I don’t recall how I happened upon the site, as much of it has to do with fishing,  but I was glad I did.

In the video, the small Strike Anywhere matches are used, which requires that the toilet paper you wrap around it be cut into thirds.  I don’t have any of the smaller Strike Anywhere matches, only the large kitchen type.  Therefore I was able to cut the toilet paper squares in half, making the Self-Igniting Fire Starter longer, and therefore larger.  It is recommended that you use a “soft” toilet paper and I used Charmin Ultra Soft, two ply, as this is all we use.

I will, as usual, use a photo format to explain what I did as it is easier to understand by seeing the process.  Of course, this isn’t brain surgery, and is a pretty easy process.  If you are interested in the video you can check it out at the channel indicated above.

Those who dismiss FEMA camps as paranoid ravings of tinfoil hat conspiracists would rather not dwell on the internment of 80,000 Japanese Americans and 30,000 Japanese non-citizens during the war years of the 1940s. Even the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover argued against mass imprisonment without due process, and dragged his feet in implementing it, but President Roosevelt thought it a splendid idea. FDR's intimates confided he took pleasure in the difficulties and subservience of common people. This order added pointless persecution to his guilty gratifications.

If we use occupied Europe as the measure, the internment itself was small scale and more disruptive than tragic—the Nazis could, and did, murder a larger number of inmates in one day art-link-symbol-tiny-grey-arrow-only-rev01.gif. Japanese citizens could voluntarily move inland rather than be forcibly relocated, but it wasn't an attractive alternative in 1942 America. Nor was evasion of either option realistic, Japanese Americans had registered with the Census Bureau and non-citizens with the Alien Registration Act. As is routine for blatant violations of the Constitution, or even simple justice, the Supreme Court upheld FDR's Executive Order in 1944 with the usual creative misinterpretations and artful omissions, even 'though for Japanese citizens it plainly and illegally suspended due process and the Fifth Amendment. The Court has consistently held Constitutional guarantees are "valid unless needed". 

The Santa Anita assembly area was emptied in October 1943 and became an Army facility. The exclusion order was rescinded in January 1945 and the last internment camp closed in 1946, the inhabitants having been free to stay while making their arrangements. The Supreme Court has not yet closed. An oversight, doubtless.

In our time, and perhaps not coincidentally, the DHS has planned a 100 mile exclusion zone along the US borders and coastlines in their entirety. It's an area approaching a million square miles, which would require a security force at least as large and as well funded as the armed forces. The DHS couldn't make their intentions any more obvious than by acquiring twenty-seven hundred armored assault vehicles art-link-symbol-tiny-grey-arrow-only-rev01.gif. In a crisis, anything within this zone can be requisitioned, including the inhabitants, or areas can be depopulated through forcible evacuation and "free fire zones" established. 

We're told a truly dire emergency is needed. Or an Executive Order. We're confident DC can arrange either one.

NC: Stop Release Of Permit Holder Info


 
Several NC Sheriffs refuse to give sensitive information...

According to a recent article in the “The Charlotte Observer,” several of North Carolina's 100 Sheriffs are standing up for your rights by not releasing sensitive information associated with Concealed Handgun Permits which they feel is a breach of privacy and beyond the scope of what is required by laws covered under the Freedom of Information Act.

Citing safety concerns, some have refused requests based on concerns over the identities of victims of domestic violence who still may be in danger, as well as dangers many gun owners would face if the information was made public. Sheriff Alan Cloninger of Gaston County has sent a letter to CHP holders within his jurisdiction explaining his reasoning for not releasing private information, again citing safety concerns. North Carolina Sheriffs, along with many other law enforcement agencies are realizing that the release of such information is not only dangerous but a serious breach of public safety and privacy.

Legislative attempts to stop the pressure

 
Currently, there are two bills in the North Carolina General Assembly that address this important issue that you need to be aware of: SB 28 and HB 17.

SB 28: "Gun Permit Information/No Publication"(Bingham). 

Removes concealed handgun permit and handgun purchase permit records from public record, preventing abuses of the information by media outlets such as those by the “Journal News,” WRAL-TV and “The New York Times.” GRNC supports the bill.

HB 17: "Gun Permits/Restaurants & Confidentiality" (Burr, Hager, Hollo, Bell). 

The restaurant carry language of the bill is identical to what GRNC drafted in HB 111, which failed to pass the Senate last year. The second section removes handgun purchase permit and concealed handgun permit information from public record. GRNC supports the bill.

Your voice must be heard

 
If left to their own discretion, politicians will cater to the loudest voices. These two Bills are important safeguards against the abuse of sensitive information. Your information should never be used as a way to sensationalize news organizations' efforts to gain ratings as they have so many times before. They don't care about your safety, they care about their own ratings. Your State Senators and Representatives need to know that you are watching these Bills closely, and that they have your support.


Thankful

I am so thankful that we own the best congress money can buy. Well, somebody owns it. But one alert Congress-thing, Maxine Waters of California, alerted the entire country with a devastating result of sequestration. She warned that 170 MILLION jobs could be lost to sequestration.

This is terrifying, especially when you learn that only 134 million people are working in the US. Sequester will be so catastrophic that they will have to hire 40 million people and then FIRE them to meet her projected job loss.

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

By the way, have y'all been having trouble understanding what sequestration is? Bernard Obama is threatening to lay of millions & maybe even open the prisons (I made that up. He hasn't said that yet, but give him 48 hours), but what's it really all about?

Reducing federal government spending by an across the board 2% (two percent). It doesn't actually reduce government spending. After adjusting for inflation and exempting defense & other spending, the CBO estimates that even with sequestration, spending will increase by $110 billion over the next 10 years that sequestration will supposedly cut $850 billion.

Meanwhile, Ben the Beneficent is PRINTING $85 billion a month, while these folks are arguing & threatening to shut down the Yankee government over cutting $85 billion A YEAR.

Y'all, we beat the Italians to it. We have nothing but comedians in office already.
