A worker at the Dollar General Store in Wrightsville was arrested Thursday and charged with spanking a customer's child with a belt. Wrightsville Police Chief Paul Sterling said he had never encountered a case like this before. Sterling says he and an investigator went to the Dollar General Store after receiving a call from the child's father that his son had been spanked by a store worker with a belt. Apparently, the 8-year-old boy was running around the store and got into a confrontation with 39-year-old Emilia Graciela Bell. Bell told investigators the boy threw a cookie at her and that's when she removed her belt, chased the boy down and spanked him behind the counter. ...

Hey, gun owners: There’s “very little” about your life and even your very soul “worth protecting” if you bought an assault rifle after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, according to funnyman Jim Carrey. Because, you know, he values life and stuff. The emoticon at the end of his tweet just shows how much he cares. “Dumb and Dumber” doesn’t begin to cover this one. And Much like Musket Morgan, we’re guessing Carrey couldn’t define “assault rifle” if he tried.

Just months after returning from a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan, U.S. Army National Guard veteran Tyler Barge was embroiled in another fight defending the American flag. This time, it involves the management of his Salem, Va. apartment complex. A small American flag, displayed in a cup of dirt on his patio wall, is a violation of the building’s code, he was told. Barge received a notice informing him he must remove the flag, along with a few other items – a broom and table, for instance – deemed inappropriate. “We need your help to keep our community one of the best in Salem,” the notice read, giving Barge several days to remove the offending items.

Legislation that would move the ownership and management of U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands in New Mexico to the state has been introduced at the Roundhouse. The Transfer of Public Lands Act is sponsored by Rep. Yvette Herrell, R-Alamogordo, and Sen. Richard C. Martinez, D-Espanola. In a prepared statement, Herrell said New Mexico has a rich history of farming, ranching, hunting, fishing and oil drilling. "In our past we have also had a thriving timber industry that is unfortunately near nonexistent," Herrell said. "We have been fortunate to have vast expanses of land that can be utilized by New Mexicans to help feed their families and enrich their ...

No solid leads in "brazen" killing of Texas prosecutor: authorities By Sarah Mervosh KAUFMAN, Texas | Sat Feb 2, 2013 7:20pm EST (Reuters) - Authorities said on Saturday they had no solid leads on the identity of a masked, black-clad gunman who killed a Dallas-area prosecutor in an execution-style slaying in a courthouse parking lot. But law enforcement sources have acknowledged that Thursday's killing in Kaufman, a town of about 6,800 people on the southeastern outskirts of Dallas, may have been an act of retaliation by a drug cartel or other organized crime group, including the white supremacist Aryan Brotherhood. Mark Hasse, 57, a prosecutor in the Kaufman County ...

Barney, Former White House Scottie, Dies Thanks to a tiny video camera on his collar, Barney offered a dog-level holiday tour of the White House in 2002 while shuffling from room to room and menacing the Christmas tree. The video starring President George W. Bush's black Scottish terrier was a hit, drawing 24 million online tourists the first day. It also helped reopen the White House after it was closed to tourists the previous holiday season following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Bush and his wife, Laura, released a statement Friday saying their famous 12-year-old pooch had died after suffering from cancer. Bush said, "Barney was by my side during our eight years in the ...
Rand Paul: No fighter jets, tanks for Egypt

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul sought Thursday to block the transfer of F-16 fighter jets and Abrams tanks to Egypt.
“I think it particularly unwise to send tanks and our most sophisticated fighter planes to Egypt at a time when many are saying the country may be unraveling,” Paul said on the Senate floor.
Lockheed Martin shipped 20 F-16s to Egypt last year while General Dynamics signed a contract to deliver parts for 125 Abrams M1A1 tanks to be manufactured in Egypt the year before, the New York Times reported.
U.S. aid to Egypt has been controversial since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak and the ascendancy of the Muslim Brotherhood under new President Mohamed Morsi. But ...
Edward Koch, Former Mayor of New York, Dies

Edward I. Koch, the master showman of City Hall, who parlayed shrewd political instincts and plenty of chutzpah into three tumultuous terms as mayor of New York with all the tenacity, zest and combativeness that personified his city of golden dreams, died Friday morning at age 88. Mr. Koch’s spokesman, George Arzt, said the former mayor died at 2 a.m. from congestive heart failure. He was being treated at New York-Presbyterian Columbia Hospital. Mr. Koch had experienced coronary and other medical problems since leaving office in 1989. But he had been in relatively good health despite — or perhaps because of — his whirlwind life as a television judge, radio talk-show host, ...

President Ronald Reagan’s childhood home in Chicago is scheduled to be demolished. The University of Chicago recently purchased the property and announced that it intends to turn the property into a parking lot. According to a report in The Washington Times, that plot could soon be the parking lot for the future site of President Barack Obama’s presidential library. “Whatever you think of Reagan — once the building’s gone, it’s gone forever,” Hyde Park Historical society board member Jack Spicer told the U.K Daily Mail. Their report speculates that political motives may be behind the University of Chicago’s decision to raze the apartment building ...

Hysteria: Police with assault rifles, helicopters hunted for non-existent object as parents panickedA discussion between two children about a toy nerf gun caused a lockdown and a massive armed police response at two elementary schools in the Bronx today in yet another example of how hysteria is sweeping America’s education system in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shootings. Panicked parents rushed to the two schools on Fulton Avenue and East 174th Street today after heavily armed police were called to respond to reports of a gun on campus. The alarm was caused by a campus aide overhearing a student say “something about a gun.”The “gun” turned out to be a ...

Rand Paul: Obama Acting Like A 'King' With Push To Reduce Gun Violence

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Monday that he is opposed to potential executive action by President Barack Obama on the issue of gun violence, calling such a move monarchical. "I'm against having a king," Paul told CBN News. "I think having a monarch is what we fought the American Revolution over and someone who wants to bypass the Constitution, bypass Congress -- that's someone who wants to act like a king or a monarch." Vice President Joe Biden, the leader of Obama's task force on gun violence, suggested last week that the president would be willing to take executive action to address the matter. At a press conference Monday, Obama confirmed Biden's ...

Former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan says he supports "the principles" of an immigration reform proposal from Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a sign that the party may be coalescing around its own plan to overhaul the nation's laws. "Senator Rubio is exactly right on the need to fix our broken immigration system," the congressman wrote on his Facebook page on Monday, with a link to a Wall Street Journal article that includes Rubio's key immigration goals. "I support the principles he’s outlined: modernization of our immigration laws; stronger security to curb illegal immigration; and respect for the rule of law in addressing the complex ...
Judge won't block New York City circumcision law

(Reuters) - A Manhattan federal judge refused to block a New York City regulation requiring people who perform circumcisions and use their mouths to draw away blood from the wound on a baby's penis to first obtain written consent from the parents. U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald on Thursday refused to issue a preliminary injunction against the change to the city's health code, which some members of the city's Orthodox Jewish communities called an unwarranted government intrusion on religious freedom. In September, the New York City Board of Health voted to require mohels, who perform circumcisions, to obtain advance consent that tells parents about the risk of a ...

Piers Morgan isn’t the only CNN host pushing a ban on semi-automatic guns. Fareed Zakaria hammered “anomalous” U.S. gun laws on Thursday afternoon and pointed to other countries for the strict gun control that America should strive for. “And I think that Sandy Hook has been a huge turning point and there is a shift of consciousness. We are becoming more aware of just how anomalous the U.S. is,” said the host of CNN’s foreign affairs show Fareed Zakaria GPS. “So the real challenge here is going to be to take this shift in national consciousness and actually drive it through to make it a shift in policy.” What’s the “policy” Zakaria ...
Sandy Hook fundraising relief page created 3 days before shooting, Google search results confirm

(NaturalNews) As of the time of this writing, if you search on Google for the URL of the United Way Sandy Hook fundraising page (see instructions, below), you will get a Google search result saying the page was created on December 11, 2012. What's so odd about that? The Sandy Hook shooting took place three days later, on December 14, 2012. If your head is suddenly ringing with shouts of "conspiracy theory!" you're not alone. This kind of news immediately sets off red flags with most people, including myself. "Is this for REAL?" I found myself asking when I first saw this. So I grabbed a screen shot from Google search results, and you can see that below. Yep, ...

Sen. Rand Paul, heir to his father Rep. Ron Paul’s political establishment and following, said Friday that he is thinking about running for president, declaring that only a “libertarian-Republican” can unite the GOP. Speaking on “The Andrea Tantaros Show with Jason Mattera,” which debuted this week, the Kentucky Republican said that while he hasn’t ruled a presidential run in 2016 in or out, the GOP is going to have to turn to somebody like him to win enough voters to beat a Democrat. “We are going to have to have somebody a little bit different than we’ve had in the past,” he told Tantaros on the show that replaced the Laura Ingraham Show on ...

Do You Live in a “Death Spiral” State?

Three years ago, I put together a “Moocher Index” that measured the degree to which non-poor people in a state were benefiting from redistribution programs. As you can see if you click on the nearby table, Vermont was the worst state, followed by Mississippi, Maine, New York, and Massachusetts. I confessed that my Moocher Index was a crude and imprecise tool, but it was one of my most popular posts in the early days of this blog. Probably because it was a way of measuring the degree to which people were being lured to ride in the wagon of government dependency (a very disturbing trend put in visual form by these two cartoons). So I was very interested when I found that somebody ...
