Free Thought Project – by Rachel Blevins Independence, KS – The man who should be celebrated as a hero for saving his wife, daughter, and at least 30 strangers from an armed gunman during an attempted robbery, is now recovering from a gunshot wound after police arrived at the scene and shot him. Mike Becker, 31, told the Kansas City Star that he grabbed his handgun and rushed to the local Dollar General after he received a call from his wife saying that she, their 4-year-old daughter, and several other customers in the store were being threatened by a man with a gun. While the customers huddled together in the back of the store, Becker’s wife hid their ...

"Gun control is not dead, gun control is undead," explains Cody Wilson, the director of Defense Distributed. "We just keep killing it but it keeps coming back." Wilson, a crypto-anarchist and serial "troublemaker," helped launch the age of the digital gun when he published files showing how to make the Liberator, a 3D-printed pistol, in 2013. It set off a panic in the media and in anti-gun political circles, and the State Department demanded Defense Distributed remove the files from their website. But five years after the Liberator debut, the technological limitations of homemade firearms have started disappearing. The materials are cheaper and better, the ...
No, President Trump, It’s Not ‘Treasonous’ to Be Chill During the State of Union

During a speech at a factory in Ohio on Monday, President Trump called Democratic Congressmen "un-American" for failing to cheer enthusiastically during the State of the Union address last week. He even suggested that their behavior was "treasonous." "You're up there, you've got half the room going totally crazy, wild, they love everything, they want to do something great for our country," said Trump, referring to his Republican supporters in Congress. "And you have the other side, even on positive news, really positive news… they were like death, and un-American." Someone in the factory audience apparently called out ...

MSNBC’s Katy Tur And Her Twitter Followers Mock Americans Excited Over Tax Cuts Derek Hunter 02/05/2018 To House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi and former Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee Debbie Wasserman Schultz, $1,000 are “crumbs.” But to most Americans, $1,000 is significant and, coupled with lower tax rates, can be the difference-maker between being able to afford important things in life. So when speakers at President Donald Trump’s rally in Ohio talked about what they planned to do with their new windfall, some liberals saw it as an opportunity to mock them for not understanding they were only getting a pittance. MSNBC personality Katy Tur led ...

"Selective Surveillance Outrage" and "Situational Libertarianism" Isn't Good Enough, Congress!

Over at The Washington Examiner, Jim Antle has a sharp column up about the disturbing "situational libertarianism" and "selective surveillance outrage" that grips Congress every so often like Pazuzu took over Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist. When it comes to "the memo" released by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) that accuses the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) of relying on partisan research to get a warrant to surveil a Trump campaign adviser, there's plenty of head-twisting, bed-bumping, and vomit-spewing, that's for sure. Somehow, Republicans who typically worship at the cult of the surveillance state are now accusing the FBI of being nothing more than ...
Prince Wasn't Cool With the Idea of Hologram Performances

But despite all that petty drama, the main issue many people have with a Prince hologram is that the artist opposed this kind of stunt well before it became a trend. In a 1998 interview with Guitar World, Prince was asked if he would ever consider using digital editing to perform with an artist from the past. “Certainly not. That's the most demonic thing imaginable. Everything is as it is, and it should be. If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age,” he said. “That whole virtual reality thing... it really is demonic. And I am not a demon. Also, what they did with that Beatles song [‘Free As a Bird’], manipulating John ...

Stephen Bannon brought quite the varied résumé to his new gig as CEO of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. At various points, Bannon has worked as an investment banker, earned money off Seinfeld royalties, overseen a biosphere, directed films, and run an alt-right news site. But one of the stranger blips on his career path came in the mid-aughts, when Bannon joined and eventually ran a company that made its name and fortune as an online marketplace to sell virtual gold to World of Warcraft players and other online gamers.

Democrats, media, and the aggregate DOJ/FBI intelligence community are finally seeing accountability. With the HPSCI memo now in the rear-view mirror, and the content in the bloodstream of the U.S. electorate, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is next. Toward the end of December, the FBI provided the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, with FBI investigative documents (likely FD-302’s) from their contacts with Christopher Steele. According to most reasonable timing we can discover Steele met with FBI officials sometime around October 1st, 2016. From the U.K. lawsuit against Christopher Steele (pdf here), Steele admits to having shopped the Clinton-Steele dossier to ...
The US legal marijuana industry is booming

It's 2018 and marijuana remains illegal in the United States. But continued federal prohibition hasn't stopped the marijuana industry from growing like a very profitable weed. Despite what could be considered an unfriendly administration in Washington D.C., nine states and the District of Columbia now allow for recreational marijuana use and 30 allow for medical use. And more states are lining up to join the legalization wave. Pot has become big business in the U.S. The emerging industry took in nearly $9 billion in sales in 2017, according to Tom Adams, managing director of BDS Analytics, which tracks the cannabis industry. Sales are equivalent to the entire snack bar industry, ...

More than a year has gone by now, and Hillary still can’t come to terms with the fact that she has lost the election to Donald Trump. So ever since Trump became president, she has been trying to come up with the perfect plan to take him down. It looks like that plan needed some powerful Republicans to get involved. According to WikiLeaks here are the names of those Republicans: Paul Ryan, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain. As reported by the Conservative Daily Post, Hillary bribed them during her campaign days, to make sure that Donald Trump looses the elections. And if he was to win by some chance, they were suppose to sabotage him and his ...

In her powerful new book, “Nomadland,” award-winning journalist Jessica Bruder reveals the dark, depressing and sometimes physically painful life of a tribe of men and women in their 50s and 60s who are — as the subtitle says — “surviving America in the twenty-first century.” Not quite homeless, they are “houseless,” living in secondhand RVs, trailers and vans and driving from one location to another to pick up seasonal low-wage jobs, if they can get them, with little or no benefits. The “workamper” jobs range from helping harvest sugar beets to flipping burgers at baseball spring training games to Amazon’s AMZN, +2.87% ...

In August ex-FBI/CIA Officer and Mueller protoge Phil Mudd observed President's Trump's failure to defend the CIA in the face of election meddling by Vladimir Putin, predicting: "The US government will kill [Donald Trump]'". More recently, Phil Mudd expressed his outrage over President Trump's reported use of a slur to describe countries accounting for an outsized share of post 1963 immigration: "A white honky from Norway can come here, but a black dude from Haiti can't. What does that tell you about America that one generation can call you a n*gger, Don Lemon..?" Apparently Mr. Mudd and CNN do not shrink from controversy.

This is a sad, but important story, and there’s no better time to bring it up since the big game is tomorrow. A consumer interest group named the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) has bought some Super Bowl advertising time to run an ad asking people not to donate money to the Humane Society of the United States. Instead, they are urging people who care about animal welfare and rescuing lost and abused pets to donate directly to their local animal shelters, not the national organization.

The greatest little band that’s never gone platinum.I have failed several times to pigeonhole the Avett Brothers for people I think might like them. It's hard. To begin with, there's no ignoring the fact that this is a band with a banjo player, and who wants to deal with that? Is this some kind of country act? If so, what's with the cello? The Avetts aren't country, exactly (in Grammy world they've been consigned to the vague Americana category). But there's no use in trying to describe them precisely. The Avetts (whose surname would rhyme with HAY-vet if that were a word) have to be heard and seen in order to absorb the full experience of their music. ...

Bitcoin plunged below $8,000 in intraday trading, extending its sharp rout since the start of the year in a selloff triggered by a widening regulatory crackdown on cryptocurrencies. Late Friday in New York, bitcoin had recovered to $8,524, down 6.8% on the day after slipping below $7,700. That was the lowest level since November. At its low point, the digital currency had fallen about 60% from an intraday record of $19,783 in December, according to research site CoinDesk Inc. That marks bitcoin’s third biggest drop over the past five years. It fell 76% in the spring of 2013 and 85% from November 2013 to January 2015. Bitcoin’s sharp swings illustrate just how much the digital ...
70,000 New York Permit Holders Are Now Felons for Failing to Register Handguns

Guns America – by S H Blannelberry On Thursday of this week, more than 70,000 New York pistol permit holders woke up as felons. Law-breakers. What was their crime? They didn’t register their handguns with the state. Now, why on God’s green earth would they have to do that? Emperor Gov. Andrew Cuomo rammed through the NY Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act in 2013. This insidious law requires pistol permit holders to register their handguns and recertify their licenses every five years. Failure to do so is a Class E felony. The objective was clear. Build a massive central database of every ...

Deputies in a Texas county have settled a lawsuit brought against them for injuring a man who refused them permission for a warrantless search of his home after he told the officers the person they sought wasn’t there. The deputies didn’t believe the homeowner, Huntly Dantzler, but it turned out he was right. Before they discovered Dantzler was telling the truth, however, they handcuffed him, threw him to the ground and arrested for him refusing to give consent. The officers then coerced his wife, Susan Dantzler, to allow one of them to conduct the warrantless search. After a judge ruled that at least some of the couple’s claims were valid ...

By Brian Saady In a bipartisan manner, Congress recently passed the FISA Reauthorization Act of 2017. On January 19th, President Trump signed this bill into law. That bill extended the controversial Section 702 program that allows the NSA to conduct warrantless surveillance of non-U.S. citizens or residents. This program clearly benefits our intelligence agencies in matters of national security. However, millions of Americans’ private information is also collected in this program. The private information of anyone in the U.S. who communicates with someone outside of the country could potentially be stored in this massive database. How expansive is this program?

Sturgill Simpson is one of the most under-appreciated, under-aired, unknown, and immensely talented musical artists around. Up until last month, in fact, most Americans have never heard of him — because he’s entirely too truthful to be on the radio. To his devoted fans, this author included, Sturgill Simpson is a pioneer in the realm of music — and activism. For years, Simpson has been enlightening his listeners, not only through his band’s amazing sounds but also through his activism. Sturgill Simpson is unafraid of being unpopular for telling the truth, and it has reflected in his music for more than a decade since the days of Sunday Valley. For Simpson, ...

Khemuel “Chef” Sanders had his business shut down, all of his equipment stolen by the state, and his life ruined because he made food in his home to give to the homeless.
