Thought the Soviet Union was anti-American? Try today’s Russia.
After a year in which furious rhetoric has been pumped across Russian airwaves, anger toward the United States is at its worst since opinion polls began tracking it. From ordinary street vendors all the way up to the Kremlin, a wave of anti-U.S. bile has swept the country, surpassing any time since the Stalin era, observers say.
The indignation peaked after the assassination of Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov, as conspiracy theories started to swirl — just a few hours after he was killed — that his death was a CIA plot to discredit Russia. (On Sunday, Russia charged two men from Chechnya, and detained three others, in connection with Nemtsov’s killing.)
There are drives to exchange Western-branded clothing for Russia’s red, blue and white. Efforts to replace Coke with Russian-made soft drinks. Fury over U.S. sanctions. And a passionate, conspiracy-laden fascination with the methods that Washington is supposedly using to foment unrest in Ukraine and Russia.
The anger is a challenge for U.S. policymakers seeking to reach out to a shrinking pool of friendly faces in Russia. And it is a marker of the limits of their ability to influence Russian decision-making after a year of sanctions. More than 80 percent of Russians now hold negative views of the United States, according to the independent Levada Center, a number that has more than doubled over the past year and that is by far the highest negative rating since the center started tracking those views in 1988.

Planet Fitness wants its customers to be comfortable and treated fairly. Unless, of course, they are uncomfortable with a transgender person in their locker room.
The Planet Fitness gym in Midland, Mich., cancelled the membership of a woman who complained about a transgender woman, who she said looked like a man, being in the women’s locker room, according to WNEM.
Yvette Cormier walked into the locker room and had trouble getting in.
“I was blocked, because a man was standing there,” she said. “It freaked me out because, why is a man in here?”
“I was stunned and shocked. He looked like a man. He did not look like a woman,” the banned customer told WNEM. (Read more about what the Planet Fitness gym did HERE)

By Daniel Greenfield. Obama is impervious to truth. It’s like he had Goebbels as his civics teacher. The only thing he knows is how to keep on lying.
His own corrupt Attorney General was forced to acknowledge that the whole Michael Brown “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” thing was a myth. It’s now as official as anything gets.
Does that stop Obama? Good luck. Instead he goes to Selma and Fergusons is up there.
“Of course, a more common mistake is to suggest that Ferguson is an isolated incident; that racism is banished; that the work that drew men and women to Selma is now complete, and that whatever racial tensions remain are a consequence of those seeking to play the “race card” for their own purposes. We don’t need the Ferguson report to know that’s not true. We just need to open our eyes, and our ears, and our hearts to know that this nation’s racial history still casts its long shadow upon us.”

By Press TV. A new opinion poll shows that race relations have deteriorated in the United States since President Barack Obama took office.
Four in ten Americans say relations between blacks and whites have gotten worse under the Obama administration, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.
Forty-five percent of respondents said race relations remain the same under Obama, while only 15 percent said they have improved.
On Saturday, President Obama made a speech at a commemorative ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the historic civil rights marches from Selma to Montgomery, known as the “Bloody Sunday.”
“We just need to open our eyes, and ears, and hearts, to know that this nation’s racial history still casts its long shadow upon us,” Obama told thousands of people from across the country who packed the town of Selma, Alabama, for commemorations of the march 50 years ago.

Lecturer and Author (“Sovereign Duty”), KrisAnne Hall says that activists should give up on Washington and focus on the states where they can really make a difference. Ms. Hall notes that the federal government is more like a “school yard bully” that, when confronted by states rights activists, will back down as it doesn’t have the manpower to enforce the unconstitutional laws its passed. She also talks about the problems of the judiciary and the blessing in disguise of Obama’s veto of the Keystone Pipeline.

KrisAnne Hall is an attorney and former prosecutor who travels the country teaching the Constitution and the history that gave us our founding documents. KrisAnne will connect the dots for you like no one else can! Host of The KrisAnne Hall Show, she pulls no punches, puts Liberty First and gives no quarter to those who hide behind party labels. Like no other host, KrisAnne will tell you what the founders had to say on today’s relevant issues .
KrisAnne is a disabled Army veteran, a Russian linguist, a mother, a pastor’s wife and a patriot. Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, she received her undergraduate degree in Bio-Chemistry from Blackburn College in 1991 and her J.D. from the University of Florida, Levin College of Law and is a former Russian Linguist for the US Army. KrisAnne worked as a state prosecutor and with a prominent law firm defending religious liberty and First Amendment rights. KrisAnne lives in North Florida with her husband JC (a pastor and former Russian instructor for the US Navy) and their adopted son Colton.
Here she is in her own words:
“Right up front there are some things that I need to tell you about myself. I want you to know where I came from and how I got to where I am today. I don’t want to ever be accused of deception or dishonesty. So, in full disclosure:
I was not born a Constitutionalist. I did not live my life with an inherent understanding of Liberty and what is necessary to defend it. I was not raised a Christian. For some, these things will be a stumbling block, so you need to know from me.
I was raised a Democrat. The only thing more evil than Satan was a Republican in my home. There were no choices to be made in voting…straight Democrat party line was the only choice.
I was an environmentalist. An ardent environmentalist. Some of my best friends were members of Green Peace and I supported the WWF and PETA. I was a vegetarian by ideology, not for health reasons, for almost 15 years.
I believed in the “good” of scientific manipulations of food and the necessity of vaccines. Not only believed this, but helped create them when I was a biochemist for Monsanto.
I believed in Global Warming and defended it vigorously. I believed in the Big Bang and openly criticized those who believed in creationism as ignorant and misled.
I believed Government’s duty and purpose was to be a provider for the people. I supported programs that would give the government more control over the people. I even believed a One World Government was the best way to go to ensure “global peace.” I supported the principles of socialism, although I cannot claim to have known at the time it was socialism, per se, that I supported.
I supported abortion and often openly condemned others for being pro-life. I have argued with abortion protesters on street corners and called them names that I am not proud of._BPP0228
I was not only not a Christian, but I practiced many other religions, including many occult versions. I was bitter against God and felt that only ignorant, weak people needed faith. I was too intelligent and too educated for such a feeble crutch.
I was not born with the knowledge that I have now. I did not wake up one morning with a divine epiphany. I traveled a long road. I learned some hard and painful lessons. My beliefs were challenged and I came to know the Truth.
I am able to stand firm on what I believe because I have discovered the difference between truth and lies. I am able to defend the truth because I walked the path. I can show you my path of discovery, and to be guaranteed it is not tied to any political motivation or personal gain…unless you call the liberation that comes from knowing the truth in the face of lies, a personal gain.
So when someone says to you…”Did you know that person used to be associated with this or that group or used to believe this… How can you possibly believe him now?” Remember this story.
It is good to question someone’s “transformation”. You SHOULD do that. If they cannot show you that path, step by step, you should question their motivations.
But do not discount someone’s current position just because of who they USED to be or who they USED to associate with or what they USED to believe. Sometimes it is NOT a selfish or deceptive motivation, but a path to enlightenment. We all had to wake up somehow.

They’re calling it “prom-munism.” Seniors at an Albuquerque school want their prom to have a Communism theme. Seniors at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School near I-25 and Paseo del Norte voted online this week for the theme of their prom this year.
“They wanted prom-munism, so that’s what got voted for the most,” said senior Sarah Zachary.
She voted for “A Night in the Reef,” because the prom is expected to take place at the Albuquerque Aquarium on April 25.
“We have a lot of jokesters in our grade, so they wanted it to be funny and a lot of them are really intense with politics,” Zachary said.
However, students who asked to remain anonymous don’t believe Communism is a joking matter. (Read more about the theme for prom HERE)

When soldiers come together and support one another, the result is beautiful. Three soldiers in the British Army collaborated with two U.S. Soldiers in order to beautifully perform a song dedicated to troops around the world. The song ‘Coming Home’ is a message of support to all service members who are representing their country with pride.

As Apple’s chief executive, Tim Cook, prepares to reveal the few details not yet known about the Apple Watch tomorrow – the price, the battery life, when it will hit the shops – some are already predicting a flop.
It will weigh the company down, they argue, and the solid gold version aimed at the very rich will tarnish a brand that promises “affordable luxury”, turning it into the preserve of rich fashionistas who wouldn’t be seen dead with last season’s $2,000 handbag – or $5,000 smartwatch.
“Apple needs a new product to reduce its reliance on one core product, the iPhone,” David Goldman, CNN’s technology editor, said in February. “It won’t find that with the Apple Watch.”
At a mooted starting price of $350, he argues, it’s pricey – but not truly beautiful, uncompelling and, in any event, likely to be updated in a year.
In fact, that $350 price tag makes it the cheapest new category Apple has ever introduced – the original iPod, in 2001, was $399. (There was the $299 Apple TV set-top box, but that was always something of an afterthought.) (Read more about the Apple watch turning the company into a 1 trillion dollar company HERE)

Photo credit: roger4336Please, this is Serious. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE FACES [below images]. These are the people that make decisions that affect our lives and our liberties. These people are also the ones who will either “destroy individual Alaskan’s financial liberty from state government” or “save it.” Right now, we are at a critical juncture and on the wrong track. ALL but the newly elected Governor and eight Representatives are responsible for past budgets with the greatest deficit spending in the history of Alaska. This excessive deficit spending has put Alaskans on the fast track to a statewide income/sales tax and an eroding PFD. If this happens, these are the names and faces to blame. You are witnessing with your own eyes the “Crime of the Century.”
They were all forewarned that their current spending was unsustainable and would lead to extreme financial consequences in the near future. They were all forewarned that delaying these difficult spending cuts would only exasperate the situation and increase the complexity in the future. THEY DID NOT LISTEN. Last year’s deficit was $1.67 billion, with oil prices down it’s now approximately $3.8 billion. We are bleeding $10 million a day from savings. They have done nothing to try and stop it.
The drop in oil prices is NOT the problem. They are using that as a scapegoat. The anomaly is NOT low oil prices; it is high oil prices, check history. The PROBLEM is their spending addiction. Low fuel prices should be a time of celebration because it keeps more money in ALL Alaskan’s pockets. Instead we are singing the blues because of our spend thrift leaders, who should have been saving the excess revenue during the unusually high oil prices and adhering to a Sustainable Budget Model were instead supporting their pet projects, growing the size of government, and raising the dependency baseline. That is clearly irresponsible and negligent. That is white-collar crime! Billions of dollars, GONE! Now we are supposed to be understanding and accommodating. I’m mad as hell and you should be too! My liberty and yours came at a great price and we should let no one chip away at it or destroy it. They failed our trust.
The sad fact is Alaska re-elected all but four who chose to run again. This CAN NOT happen again! Every Senator who is currently in office was part of the “28th legislature high rollers club.” They were gambling with billions worth of our liberty and all Alaskan’s financial future, not their own. Their gambling losses will force us to pay in far more ways than just dollars.
Once Alaskans start defending their liberties with the PASSION of our founders this type of behavior from our elected officials will cease at ALL levels of government. Shame on all of them! They all took an Oath to uphold and defend the U.S. and Alaska Constitution. That Oath is there for a reason. They are not free to do as they please. The time for applying extreme pressure to these folks is way over due. The photo chart was designed to help identify the ones who need it the most. By the time this session is over we will know who our champions are, who needs to leave office and who needs to be behind bars.
For now focus on the Main Drivers. Senator Kelly was a Senate Finance Co-Chair last legislature and again this legislature. Maximum fault will be on his shoulders if Alaska fails financially. In a recent Senate Finance Committee he stated that he had just had an “interesting revelation about the magnitude of the problem.” WHAT?
Where in the world has he been? Why is he Finance Co-Chair again? Next are Representative Neuman and Senator MacKinnon who were both Vice Chairs of finance last legislature. Now they are both in the driver’s seat along with Thompson who sat on finance last legislature also. These are the next guiltiest if this falls apart. Governor Walker is front and center. He ran his campaign on 16% cuts and beat Parnell. Where are they Governor or did you already forget? We didn’t.
The Crime of the Century!!!
The ones that are no longer in office are still just as guilty and we need to not forget who they are. That is why their photos are included. Also, this chart focuses on the budget because that is the main focus right now and they’ll be tracked all the way through both sessions. Other main topics to be concerned with are the unconstitutional programs of Common Core and Obamacare Medicaid Expansion. Stay tuned for the Hall of Blame (Common Core) and the Hall of the Lame (Medicaid Expansion). If you like and want these programs, they are in other states, please consider moving!
LEGEND: — First off, print and hang the chart of photos on a wall. Familiarize yourself with the names and the faces. Know who these people are. — Top Row: These are the Financial Drivers. They hold the power to make or break a budget and they are the Governor and the two financial co-chairs of the House and Senate. They are most responsible and liable. — Left and Right Columns: House members are on the left and Senate members are on the right. They are in order by their seniority from top to bottom. If you believe in term limits you will find this helpful. — Oval Mats: Identifies the Financial Drivers in the 28th and 29th legislature. — Oval Circles: Identifies those on the 28th and 29th finance committees; 2nd most guilty group! — Gray Frames: They are near the bottom and newly elected. That does not make any of them innocent; several ran on pork promises. — Slash or X across the Photo: At the bottom. “Slash” indicates they did not run again. The “X” indicates they ran but were not re-elected. In 2016 I’d like to see that number rise, dramatically. — Text: The year they came to office is before the name followed by the party affiliation. A slash separates their time in the House from their time in the Senate. After the name, identifiers indicate if they were in the House Finance (HFIN) or the Senate Finance (SFIN) preceded by the specific legislature (28th or 29th). Last is their Juneau phone number. Call Often!
Passionately start defending your liberties. Get involved! Educate yourself. Listen to the legislative committee meetings (live or archived): https://w3.legis.state.ak.us/index.php. There is a call-in number. Call and email the Governor and legislators. Make public testimonies. Write public testimonies (very important). If you need help getting started, contact me. Anything is better than nothing.
*** If you are a true fiscal conservative and constitutionalist (small government and greater individual liberty/personal responsibility) please consider running for office. Duty calls!
NOTE: If you are a Legislator that is taking this Fiscal Crisis serious, removing Common Core from the state, and not implementing ACA(obamacare) Medicaid Expansion, your actions will be reflected positively in future updates and charts.
The new Sustainable Budget Number is $4.5 Billion!!!

A baby was found alive but in critical condition inside a wrecked car in Utah Saturday, 13 hours after the car the child was in plunged into a river, police said. The child’s mother was found dead in the car when an fisherman discovered the crashed vehicle at around 12:20 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
Police believe the car hit a cement barrier on a bridge at around 10:30 p.m. Friday night and ended up in the Spanish Fork River in Spanish Fork, a city of around 37,000 people south of Provo.
The 4-door Dodge was upside down and resting on its roof and the 18-month-old girl was found locked in a car seat in the rear passenger seat, police said. The baby’s 25-year-old mother was dead in the driver’s seat when first responders arrived, Spanish Fork Police said in a statement. (Read more about the horrific car crash HERE)

On Friday February 13 at 4:00 pm, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms released a proposal to ban commonly used M855 “green tip” AR-15 ammunition under the guise of law enforcement safety. The same day the proposal was released, on a Friday of a three day holiday weekend, ATF opened up a shortened 30-day period for the public to submit comments about the new regulation.
But it turns out, ATF has been working on a ban of AR-15 “green-tip” ammunition for quite some time and has already issued the ban in its new, 2014 Regulation Guide. For reference, ATF Regulation Guides come out approximately every ten years.
When you take a look at the 2005 ATF Regulation Guide, you’ll see an exemption for AR-15 “green-tip” ammunition, which means it exempted from the definition of “armor piercing” and therefore is legal on the federal level . . .
“The 2014 edition of the Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide contains information that will help you comply with Federal laws and regulations governing the manufacture, importation and distribution of firearms and ammunition. This edition contains new and amended statutes enacted since publication of the 2005 edition, as well as updated regulations and rulings issued by ATF. In addition to these updated materials, in response to inquiries received from industry members, the public, and partner agencies, the 2014 edition contains additional and amended Questions and Answers to assist with compliance,” ATF Director B. Todd Jones states in the 2014 edition of the new Regulation Guide (emphasis mine). “Laws may change over time, as will information in this guide.”
The Office of Management and Budget must review and approve ATF Regulation Guides, which again, come out approximately every 10 years. This can take months and changes to Regulation Guides are not easily or often made. Because of the lengthy amount of time it takes for OMB to approve a new ATF Regulation Guide, ATF’s comment period is just for show. ATF officials and the White House have (and never did) no interest in actually listening to or considering comments that are currently being submitted. The exemption for the ammunition in question has already been stripped out of the regulation handbook moving forward and “green-tip” has been reclassified as “armor piercing.” The rules have been changed. Further, because of local rules and regulations in different states across the country having their own “armor piercing” standards based on ATF regulations, thousands of people in possession of AR-15 green tip ammunition have essentially been turned into felons overnight. (Read more about the AR-15 green tip ammo being banned HERE)
Yesterday I exclusively reported that common AR-15 “green tip” ammunition has already been banned in the new 2014 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Regulation Guide, which was published in January. After the story received wide public attention [above] ATF released a response Friday night at 9:12 p.m. blaming a publishing error for stripping out the “armor piercing” and ban exemption for AR-15 “green tip” ammunition.
Nothing to analyze here folks, just a publishing mistake. No AP ammo exemptions revoked @NRA @NSSF. See https://t.co/mEIKThYBAX
— ATF HQ (@ATFHQ) March 7, 2015
. . .Most importantly, if you’re in possession of AR-15 “green tip” ammunition, legally you’re good to go in most states and not in possession of “armor piercing” ammunition. Because of the “publishing error” in the 2014 Regulation Guide, ATF has advised FFL’s and others to reference the 2005 Regulation Guidebook, where the ammunition is still exempted.
Despite ATF saying there’s “nothing to analyze here folks,” this simple “publishing mistake” deserves scrutiny. Considering the Office of Management and Budget must approve new Regulation Guides, which come out approximately every 10 years, are difficult to change and take months to review, that’s quite the “publishing mistake.” (Read more from about the AR-15 green tip ammo now NOT banned HERE)
