The story of two brothers who exposed grotesque union thuggery and intimidation in Philadelphia, and in so doing "set in motion the most dramatic power shift the city has seen in generations."

Read the whole thing, and watch the videos. Highly recommended.

Achtung!:

"A German company used a futuristic laser weapon to cut through a half-inch thick steel girder from 2/3 of a mile away…[...]...The laser was also challenged to detect, pursue, and engage a tiny ballistic garget. The Skyguard fire control unit immediately detected the 82 mm steel ball, the 30kW laser weapon station mechanically tracked it, and then (the) laser weapon optically tracked the tiny target and destroyed it…"

Highly respected Queens Counsel Tony Merchant slapped down in the BC Supreme Court.

Order against him personally for costs. Look at the list of defendants. Imagine what the legal bills add up to.

Are We Being Fooled? Who Is This Woman?

What are the odds that James Holmes's supposed lawyer is also a supposed mother of a supposed victim in another supposed mass shooting?

What's going on here?

The richly experienced Sonia Sotomayor, a palpably slow and stupid woman (watch any recording of her at all and come to a different conclusion), admits (boasts?) that she's an "affirmative action baby", doesn't seem to realize that this fact doesn't reflect well on her.

Jeeze, she's only on the Supreme Court. Where's the harm?

Canadian Sentinel - a bit weird, but it's mostly the haircut.

This segment of the O'Reilly Factor should be placed in a time vault!

Judge Pirro ain't happy with the hypocritical "journalists" who published the names & addresses of legal gun owners in NY state.

"Hansen concedes the age of flatness"

"Dr. James Hansen and Reto Ruedy of NASA GISS have written a paper (non peer reviewed) with a remarkable admission in it. It is titled Global Temperature Update Through 2012.

Here is the money quote, which pretty much ends the caterwauling from naysayers about global temperature being stalled for the last decade.

The five-year mean global temperature has been flat for the last decade, which we interpret as a combination of natural variability and a slow down in the growth rate of net climate forcing."

More disruption by First Nation Activists to "make Canadians and the Prime Minister" aware.
Is there any way of blockading their government cheques so that they could become aware of how I feel? I also notice that this is being done on a Wednesday. I guess none of them have a job to work at.

The new gun control laws in NY state that make the maximum number of bullets allowed in a magazine 7 rounds does not exlude police officers.
