Lawmakers Trying To Pass Bill Exempting Politicians From Arrest And Prosecution For Corruption.
No politician should ever be exempted from prosecution for any crime committed while in or out of office.
All i can say is, this is another pathetic yet hilarious (in the sense of the utter stupidity and innateness of the situation) example of how politicians in general (I don't care what party they are in) become politicians for the power it gives them.....not any desire to be a representative of the people.

My Biggest Fear
We can all as individuals, prepare for that. We can take steps to avoid losing everything for which we worked our entire lives.
It is the loss of freedom that historically always comes in the wake of wars, market crashes, and other crises at the hands of our elected leaders.
Expect another huge loss of freedom to come after the next stock market crash. The video below mentions this along with pointing out that this crash is coming soon, it will be devastating, and the current stock market bubble was made possible by our government's policies.
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QqOtSokKRxs" width="480"></iframe>
Check out this video to see how wars that were supposed to "protect our freedom" ended up costing us our freedom in the end.

Government is a necessary evil. The only way you can control tyranny it is to limit the size of government. Our founding fathers understood this. Their descendants forgot it. We'll pay for it, with our freedom, fortune, and lives.
Freedom is the most valuable thing a human being can have, yet western societies have treated it the same way a person treats a poorly made luxury car - Pay dearly for it in the beginning, enjoy it for a few years, neglect it for a few more years, and end up just giving it away in the end.
California Considers Ban on All Gun Dealers.
On April 19, a bill that could literally ban all Federal Firearm License holders (FFLs) from doing business in the state of California goes before the State Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection.
Fucking liberals, they have (finally) learned that they can't kill the 2nd amendment, so they're doing the next best thing, making it impossible to be a gun dealer. After all if there are no dealers, no one can buy guns....
They don't care about how many business they close down, or how many jobs they'll be killing. They don't care about honest, law abiding, hard working Americans, all they care about is if they get their way..
Well if I had my way, I'd be investing in some rope, LOTS of it.....
"The Real Reason Hillary Clinton Refuses To Release Her Wall Street Transcripts"
The reason you and I will never see the transcripts of Hillary Clinton’s speeches to Wall Street fat-cats — and the reason she’s established a nonsensical condition for their release, that being an agreement by members of another party, involved in a separate primary, to do the same — is that if she were ever to release those transcripts, it could end her candidacy for president.
The reason you and I will never see the transcripts of Hillary Clinton’s speeches to Wall Street fat-cats — and the reason she’s established a nonsensical condition for their release, that being an agreement by members of another party, involved in a separate primary, to do the same — is that if she were ever to release those transcripts, it could end her candidacy for president.
Please don’t take my word for it, though.
Nor even that of the many neutral observers in the media who are deeply troubled by Clinton’s lack of transparency as to these well-compensated closed-door events — a lack of transparency that has actually been a hallmark of her career in politics.
Nor do we even need to take Clinton’s word for it — as we could certainly argue that her insistence that none of these transcripts ever be seen by the public is itself a confession that her words would cause significant trauma to her presidential bid.
In fact, it appears they’d cause enough trauma that Clinton would rather publicly stonewall — to the point of being conspicuously, uncomfortably evasive — in public debate after public debate, to endure damning editorial after damning editorial, and to leave thousands and thousands of voters further doubting her honesty and integrity, all to ensure that no one outside Goldman Sachs, and certainly no voter who wasn’t privy to those closed-door speeches, ever hears a word of what she said in them.
Seriously, what is it going to take to start putting these politicians in jail? And I'm not talking just the hildabeast, SO many have blatantly committed crimes that even Stevie Wonder can see that they are crooks..

Mike Vanderboegh update
He called me from the hospital. He’ll be coming home today.
We spoke for several minutes. He actually sounded good — it was one of those periods when he could reach out and engage. That’s why the choice to initiate contact should be his.
Our friend is a brave man. He knows that many are concerned and are asking about him. He knows a lot of us are grateful to benefit from his work and some of us are grateful to know him in person. He appreciates that and he appreciates knowing many of us give him special mention in our prayers.
As long as I had him on the phone, I brought up a couple points of “business”:
Those of you who wish to make — or continue making — gratitude offerings, please do. I’d hesitated bringing it up the last few times because I wasn’t sure if Rosey would be able to endorse a check made out to Mike or to access his Paypal account. She’ll be able to.

Sorority ditches Kentucky Derby party over "racial connotations"
There will not be a Kentucky Derby party at Dartmouth College this year because some students allege that one of the nation’s most prestigious horse races is racist.
Back in 2015, a group of Black Lives Matter protestors targeted an exclusive Kentucky Derby party hosted by the ladies of Kappa Delta Epsilon – calling the event overtly racist and “recreating an Antebellum South atmosphere on the Ivy League campus.”
The protestors accused the party of being a “bastion of racism, exclusion and oppression.” They chanted, “What is Derby? It’s the face of genocide” and “What is Derby? It’s the face of police brutality.”
A search of The New York Times archives found no evidence of police brutality at the Derby – nor is there any evidence of ethnic cleansings.
I can only imagine the angst and soul searching among the fragile Ivy League snowflakes as they contemplated the grave offense they had caused to the perpetually-offended, hashtag protesters.
To right the terrible injustice -- the sorority ladies met with members of the university’s Afro-American Society. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall in what was most certainly a confab on “privilege.”
Shortly thereafter, Kappa Delta Epsilon decided to change the Kentucky Derby theme “because of its racial connotations.”
“[It is] related to pre-war southern culture,” KDE vice president Nikol Oydanich told The Dartmouth newspaper. “[The] Derby was a party that had the power to upset a lot of our classmates.”
And by “pre-war southern culture,” I reckon the young lady was referring to the Civil War.
There’s just one minor flaw in Kappa Delta Epsilon’s reasoning – the first running of the Kentucky Derby was held in 1875 – during Reconstruction.
That’s right, racing fans. The Kentucky Derby did not commence until 10 years after the war had ended. And for what it’s worth, Kentucky was officially neutral during the War Between the States.
Go ahead and take another swig of that Mint Julep.
KDE president Allison Chou told The Dartmouth that the protests leading to the change were helpful – an “opportunity to reflect on what it stands for and the inconsistencies between Derby and the sorority’s values.”
No ma’am. It’s a horse race – with a bunch of ladies wearing fancy hats.
It would be akin to accusing Colonel Sanders of being a racist because he fries chicken. Or refusing to wear clothing made from cotton because of its significance in “pre-war southern culture.”
So instead of a Derby party – the ladies are hosting an alcohol-free Woodstock party – because nothing screams tolerance and diversity like commemorating a bunch of tie-dyed, hippy-dippy liberals, doing Lord knows what in a field of debauchery.
It sounds to me like somebody’s been smoking the Colonel’s eleven herbs and spices.
What a bunch of finger-lickin’ morons.

Best Chicken Breeds for Preppers
1. Rhode Island Red.
These guys are the jack of all trades. Originating from New England,
they are very cold hardy, but can handle heat as well. They are great
layers of large brown eggs, and very meaty birds for the table. Rhode
Island Reds are decent free-rangers but will still need some
supplemental feed, even in the summer and fall months. Roosters are
extremely strong and protective of the flock, but this also means that
they tend to be aggressive. Make sure children know to avoid the rooster
and what to do if it becomes aggressive toward them. Hens are mildly
broody, meaning they will hatch and raise chicks occasionally.
Heritage birds (from a breeder) are desired over hatchery stock for this
breed. Hatchery stock Rhode Island Reds (also called "production reds")
have been bred for excellent egg-laying, sacrificing broodiness and
size, so they are less desirable for dual-purpose uses. However,
hatchery stock will still be good enough for the average prepper. Mine
come from hatchery chicks! This would be an excellent breed to make up
the bulk of your flock.
2. American Game
American Games are the fighting fowl of the US. These beautiful birds
are probably the toughest common chicken you can get! They are extremely
flighty, and can evade most predators with relative ease. Their wings
and tails are very long in comparison to their body size, making them
perfectly equipped for flight! What they can't fly away from, they will
fight. Because females often grow spurs as the males do, they are a
force to be reckoned with to predators. Females are also excellent
mothers, going broody and raising chicks several times during the
hatching season. They protect these chicks with ferocity.
In addition to being very good at protecting themselves and their young,
this breed is very hardy and self-reliant. They can handle both heat
and cold very well, can eat almost exclusively through free-ranging.
Owners of this breed find that they often prefer to roost in trees
rather than in coops, no matter the weather! They are practically wild
birds, and can adapt to most any climate. They can have a pea comb or a
single comb. Pea is preferred in cold climates, while single may be
better in hot climates.
The hardiness of this breed comes at a cost. They are not bred for
production, so hens lay less than 100 eggs a year. Though they are
muscular, they weigh less than five pounds, not making them much of a
meat bird. In addition to that, these birds are born and bred for
fighting and are very aggressive. Males can not be kept in confined
environments with other males. Because of this, games should not make up
a big part of your flock. Due to their flightiness and aggression,
games are not ideal for beginners.
3. Plymouth Rock
Stocky and cold-hardy, Plymouth Rocks are my personal favorite
dual-purpose bird. They lay almost as well as the Rhode Island Red, but
lay slightly smaller eggs and may lay a little less per year, especially
comparing hatchery stock. They make up for it in their meat, however.
Plymouth rocks are heavy, meaty birds. Both male and female can dress
out at a decent size, and make for a tasty roast! Males are fairly
protective, and not very aggressive. Females are moderately broody, and
their size means that they can hatch a lot of eggs at a time.
While they will free range, their size requires that they have a lot of
feed to supplement what they find. This also means that they are poor
flyers.
Plymouth Rocks come in a lot of difference colors. Especially for free
ranging flocks, barred or partridge colored varieties are best. White is
the most easily spotted by predators, but the white pin feathers look
better for butchering than that of darker birds.
4. Orpington
Orpingtons, the pillow-pet of chickens. You can thank England for this
fluffy breed, where they were developed into the excellent dual-purpose
bird that they are today. They do fairly well in free-ranging, but will
still require some feed, all seasons. Some people prefer Orpingtons over
any other breed as a mother to chicks. They are very large, so a lot of
eggs can fit under a hen. This breed also has an extremely calm,
friendly temperament, making them a common pick for families with
children. Roosters are generally not extremely protective, however. This
breed is particularly cold hardy.
These birds have been bred for both eggs and meat, and lay medium to
large eggs. Because they are a heavy breed, so each bird will have a
hearty amount of meat for butchering. The most common color is buff, but
they come in many more solid colors as well as patterns!
5. Leghorn
Sometimes pronounced "leg-horn", sometimes pronounced "leggern,"
Leghorns lay most of the eggs you see in the grocery store. This is
because they are able to produce very large eggs, while their small
bodies require significantly less food. In addition to laying lots of
eggs on little food, they are great at free-ranging and excellent
flyers! The brown variety of leghorn will be less susceptible to
predators than the more common white. Males are known to be protective
and are prone to aggression. They are generally not a mothering breed,
however. They go broody very rarely.
Leghorns will do very well in hot environments, but may do poorly in
colder climates. Their large, floppy combs are prone to frostbite in the
extreme cold.
6. Easter Egger
The Easter Egger (often abbreviated 'EE') is not a true breed, but
rather a mix of a blue laying breed, usually an Ameraucana or Araucana,
with a brown or white layer. They generally lay blue or green eggs, but
can lay pink, brown or cream as well. Hatcheries often label Easter
Eggers as "Americana" to fool people in to thinking they are getting a
great deal on the rare and expensive "Ameraucana" when they are, in
fact, getting a mixed-breed bird.
Nonetheless, Easter Eggers are inexpensive and extremely hardy birds.
They are not very big chickens, but very resilient. They can handle heat
or cold, but can deal with extremely cold temperatures better than
most. An excellent choice for a northern prepper, EEs are great
free-rangers and generally come in camouflaging patterns. They are
mildly broody and make good mothers. They are a good layer of medium to
large eggs that can be any color, but are most often blue or green.
Easter Eggers are generally known to be quite friendly birds, but it can
depend on the breeds a specific hatchery or breeder used in their
birds' development.
Breeds to avoid
There are plenty of birds not mention in my list that will do just as
well as the above birds in a doomsday situation. However, there are a
few you should probably avoid.
Sebright
This breed is often in bantam bins at feed stores. They are striking in
appearance which makes them tempting, but your main flock is best
without them. They don't lay much, sometimes only laying a total of 4-6
weeks out of the whole year. They don't generally go broody, and they
aren't particularly weather-hardy. Males have "hen feathering" due to a
mutation that mutes the testosterone receptors in their skin that cause
most roosters to have long, pointed, shiny hackle and saddle feathers.
This mutation has led to reduced fertility among male Sebrights. They
can, however, fly better than most chickens and mine do very well in a
free ranging environment (guilty as charged, I have two.)
Silkie
Another I am guilty of owning. Silkies are an Asian breed of chicken
that lack 'hooks' on their feathers. This causes the feathers to appear
fluffy, as if the chicken has fur. Unfortunately, this mutation causes a
lot of problems for the Silkie. They are unable to fly because their
wings and tail cannot catch wind. They also cannot handle cool or windy
weather very well. Normal chickens stay warm by trapping air between
their feathers and their skin. That air is warmed by their body heat,
and insulated by their feathers. Silkies' feathers don't do this very
well. They also are not water resistant like a normal chicken's
feathers, so they get soaked to the skin any time they get wet.
Silkies do have a very calm demeanor, do well in confinement, and are good at raising young. They
may be a good option if you needed to keep a chicken indoors.
Anything "frizzled"
It may be tempting to buy these adorable chickens that look like their
feathers are permanently ruffled. However, they run into the same
problems as Silkies. Those up-turned feathers are unable to insulate
body temperature, making both excessively hot and cold weather difficult
for them to handle.
Polish
I personally do love the appearance of these goofy looking birds, but
they aren't the best for a prepper. They lay modestly, but generally
stop completely in the winter. They rarely, if ever, go broody. Polish
could be good free-rangers, if it weren't for their giant crests making
them predator bait. The crest blocks out most of their sight, making
them unable to see any aerial predators. They also run into problems
with other chickens who have not been raised with crested birds. They
will peck at the crest, thinking they're getting some funny thing off of
their flockmate's head, but they're actually scalping her.
Your own flock
The best flock for a prepper is a varied one. As generations go on, the
flock will combine their genes to produce well-rounded and diverse
offspring, allowing you to continue your food source for a very long
time. The chickens I specified are my personal top picks, but what you
like or need may depend on your unique situation. Always do research on a
breed before buying to see if it will fit in to your life!

It’s being called the “Panama Papers” — a trove of 11.5 million leaked internal documents from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, showing how hundreds of thousands of people with money to hide used anonymous shell corporations across the world. Fusion’s investigative unit was one of the more than 100 media organizations that dove into the files — and found drug dealers, arms traders, human traffickers, fraudsters. We also found no shortage of politicians or their family members.

I have to wonder, at the rate they're going, will there be ANY private land left in 50-100 years?
I can see tourist in 100 years driving (flying?) to out of the way places in Alaska or Wyoming to see the rare parcel of private property....
"Look dad, he's got a fireplace, yea Jimmy, he's one of 3 people left in North America allowed to burn wood"
Laugh now, but we'll see..

Meanwhile, over at Fukushima…….
“(Reuters)
– The robots sent in to find highly radioactive fuel at Fukushima’s
nuclear reactors have “died”; a subterranean “ice wall” around the
crippled plant meant to stop groundwater from becoming contaminated has
yet to be finished. And authorities still don’t how to dispose of highly
radioactive water stored in an ever mounting number of tanks around the
site.
Five
years ago, one of the worst earthquakes in history triggered a 10-metre
high tsunami that crashed into the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
station causing multiple meltdowns. Nearly 19,000 people were killed or
left missing and 160,000 lost their homes and livelihoods.
Today,
the radiation at the Fukushima plant is still so powerful it has proven
impossible to get into its bowels to find and remove the extremely
dangerous blobs of melted fuel rods.
The
plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) <9501.t>, has
made some progress, such as removing hundreds of spent fuel roads in one
damaged building. But the technology needed to establish the location
of the melted fuel rods in the other three reactors at the plant has not
been developed.”
This figure is 11 percent higher than the total amount of radioactive cesium released by Chernobyl on both land and water, illustrating the true severity of the Fukushima disaster that the mainstream media is concealing from the public.”
And not a peep out of ANY of our mainstream news channels...
