CRIME

TEXAS MAN TAKES ON 3 HOME INTRUDERS WITH A RIFLE — FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED

Feb. 28, 2013 6:58pm Jason Howerton

When Randy Magdeleno arrived home Wednesday morning, he found three burglary suspects running around his Houston home. It was a terrifying situation, he said, but thankfully he had his gun to protect him.

The problem was, the .22LR bolt-action rifle was unloaded. But the burglars didn’t know that.

The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Magdeleno said he heard voices as soon as he entered his home after dropping his wife off at work.

*****

The only problem was that his gun was left unloaded.

It’s like a fire extinguisher that’s uncharged!

Argh!

SURVIVAL: One risk that you can’t plan for

Friday, March 8, 2013

http://lewrockwell.com/rep4/sinkhole-map.html

Do You Live in Sinkhole Territory?

U.S. Geological Survey

Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone, carbonate rock, salt beds, or rocks that can naturally be dissolved by ground water circulating through them. As the rock dissolves, spaces and caverns develop underground. Sinkholes are dramatic because the land usually stays intact for a while until the underground spaces just get too big. If there is not enough support for the land above the spaces then a sudden collapse of the land surface can occur. These collapses can be small, as this picture shows, or they can be huge and can occur where a house or road is on top.

This is scary stuff!

QUOTE: Restraining great power?

Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity; for if man’s power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened.”

RANT: The illusion of “free speech” about the Gooferment!

Thursday, March 7, 2013

Conservatives, liberals, media advocates rally behind man jailed for criticizing Indiana judge

Published March 03, 2013

FoxNews.com

A group of free-speech advocates is rallying behind an Indiana inmate serving two years for his online rants against a judge who took away his child-custody rights during a divorce case.

There’s no disputing that Daniel Brewington’s words were strong and angry — found in hundreds of emails over the course of the related, two-year divorce case.

But the group is asking the state’s highest court to decide whether they indeed amounted to criminal behavior.

Brewington was convicted in 2011 of perjury, intimidating a judge and attempting to obstruct justice — with the attorney general’s office successfully arguing that his threat was to expose the judge to “hatred, contempt, disgrace or ridicule.”

However, the group recently filed an amicus brief with the state Supreme Court arguing an appeals court decision in January upholding the felony intimidation charge threatens constitutionally protected speech about public officials.

*****

Don’t think we have “free speech” in this country?

Sorry, but the “courts” are merely there to provide an illusion of legitimacy!

Argh!!!

INSPIRATIONAL: Overcoming

The Stax Records Guide To Overcoming Setbacks

by John Caddell

In 1968, Al Bell, president of Stax Records, the pioneering R&B music label, learned that the expiration of his company’s distribution arrangement with larger Atlantic Records would deprive Stax ownership of its own back catalog of music – the songs and albums the label had released since its founding in 1959.

Since much of the worth of a record label came from its back catalog, Stax Records was, in effect, starting over as a business without the steady residuals a large catalog could provide. Confronted with this reality, Al Bell decided to create a brand-new catalog.

Wow, how many people can “reboot” themselves?

Hard to imagine. But if you have no choice, then choices are easy?

POLITICAL: Obamacare and the fiscal implications

The Early Stages of ObamaCare

Posted by Karen De Coster on March 3, 2013 04:06 PM

Here is a great talk given at The 21 Convention in 2012, by Doug McGuff, MD, a prominent member of the ancestral health (paleo-primal) community: “Fitness, Health, and Liberty.” Doug, an emergency room physician, is well known for his ‘Body By Science’ program, a high-intensity interval training program.

This is an important presentation because Doug presents the historical picture on how the physician-patient relationship went from a fiduciary relationship between provider and consumer to a 3rd party morass of collectivized medicine that sacrificed individual services to the needs of the masses in general in order to conform to the rules outlined by the medical establishment-insurance industry alliance.

*****

Yes, if the “golden rule” is the driver — he who has the gold makes the rules — then the patient can no longer trust the objectivity of the doctor or the medical establishment.

Popular Standard Shotgun Could Be Banned Under Proposed Bill
March 1, 2013 8:48 PM

*** begin quote ***

Greg Brophy, Gun Control, John Hickenlooper, Pump Shotguns, Semi-Automatic Shotguns, Senate Bill 1224, Shaun Boyd, Trending

DENVER (CBS4) – A popular hunting shotgun could be banned under one of the bills moving through the state Capitol.

A pump or semi-automatic shotgun is the gun most hunters in Colorado use. It’s a gun state Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, says could be banned under a bill that’s already passed the House and Gov. John Hickenlooper says he’ll sign.

*** end quote ***

Argh!

New York, Colorado, California …

Resistance and secession!

Molon Labe

from my cold dead hands … …

… now or later in the camps, the result is the same!

INTERESTING: Bonnie Franklin passed

Friday, March 1, 2013

Does anyone feel sad that Bonnie Franklin died?

Maybe I’m being sappy. But I like the show, I liked her. And, find that she was a tireless worker and interested in “her girls”.

Reminds my of “Our Girl”.

But then almost everything does.

p.s., found the watch she gave me. on the day of “final goodbyes” two years ago.
