Bold Nebraska is running a letter writing campaign to block the XL pipeline at the state level with letters to the Nebraska Public Service Commission. We can do the same by writing in support of the pipeline. Here is an excerpt from their campaign letter .. "Today, TransCanada submitted its application to build the Keystone XL pipeline to the Nebraska Public Service Commission. [1] With the shocking silencing of the massive public outcry against this pipeline by President Trump's State Dept. -- which said that the federal government is "not inviting further comment at this time" [2] -- Bold's efforts...

Freep this poll Should gun laws be More Restrictive Less Restrictive Left Alone

Received a mostly property inheritance. Had to sell off some to pay the inheritance tax. Inheritance is not taxable as income. Inheritance tax is not deductible as an expense. There were no capital gains on the sale. Does the sale count as income? Tax appointment in 3 weeks and it is just bothering me. I cannot stand the suspense. I think it would not count since it was part of the inheritance and the inheritance tax was paid.

So here's a story and you can tell me if I am bat s*** crazy or you can laugh or whatever. My wife and I walk along a rural paved road in the evening about a half mile and turn around and come back. We have corn and bean fields on each side and nice wide ditches. One evening about 2 weeks ago on a Monday we were walking back and noticed a dead deer in the ditch on the far side. At first we thought it must have been hut by a car. The strange thing was that it...

On April 30, 2014, we invited Adrian Smith, Tom Brewer and Mark Sullivan to attend a Townhall type meeting. Tyson Havranek was our moderator. Adrian Smith could not be present but sent his campaign manager to give a short statement at the beginning. This is the full 1 hour and 29 minute video. For your convenience this video is available in 6 parts also for those who wish to split up their viewing.

Nebraska has now joined states like Florida, Arizona, Idaho, Missouri, Kansas, and Alaska in standing up for the Second Amendment -- and telling Barack Obama what he can do with his unconstitutional gun bans and gun registration schemes. L.B. 1030 would prohibit any Nebraska state or local official from "restrict[ing] the carrying, possession, transfer, purchase, sale, or ownership of or otherwise regulat[ing] any firearm, ammunition, or component of any firearm or ammunition to a greater extent than state law." This is particularly important in view of the Obama administration's efforts to ban and register guns unlawfully, by executive fiat. Hence,...

"Take down the sign or go to jail. We do not approve of guns...or you." This is the unmistakable messages sent by progressives when they take over a city's government and freedom pays the price. Ares Armor is a small tactical store operating one of their stores in National City, CA, a suburb of San Diego. Nevermind that CEO Dimitri and his staff at Ares Armor are in complete compliance with all laws and ordinances. That does not matter. That's because guns are at the heart of this debate. The City Council has taken offense to their presence there and...

In pursuit of freedom and the free enterprise system we like the idea of a free digital currency that opens world commerce outside the corruption of central banks and fiat currencies. For these reasons Jihawg Ammo is proud to be the first Second Amendment supporting company in the firearm industry to offer purchasing of products and ammunition with Bitcoin for payment. Our anti-Jihadist motto pretty well sums it up, “Peace through pork!”– Brendon Hill, President Jihawg Ammo.

Some more pyromania after a little target practice. For those who enjoy watching things blow up, safely.

Trenton, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- In a dramatic upset in the timing of the “centerpiece” of the Democrats’ gun bill package, the New Jersey Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee today failed to muster enough votes to pass S2723/A4182 out of committee. In a stunning turn of events, it became apparent during a roll call vote that there were not a sufficient number of Democratic votes for the bill. Rather than complete the roll call as required by legislative rules, chaos and confusion ensued as the committee chairman and staffers halted the proceedings mid-roll- call and huddled in an adjacent room while...

Been waiting for a good day for this. After Easter dinner we decided the weather was just right. Range to target: 25 yards. Delivery device: Winchester Model 74 Ammunition: Remington .22 cal "Golden Bullet" hollow points. Ordnance: Star Targets.

Don't know if this has been posted here, got this in an email and had to share. It is so true... If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If the only school curriculum allowed to...

I know it's NBC but Todd really kicked some serious butt.

The appeals court also ruled that the lower court was wrong in dismissing Microsoft's claim that Eolas inventor and former UC researcher Mike Doyle misled the USPTO by withholding information about the Viola browser. The lower court dismissed the claim because of its determination that Viola didn't constitute prior art. The reversal gives Microsoft another route to get the patent ruled unenforceable.

For 16 months since Amie Huguenard and Timothy Treadwell died in the jaws of a bear at Kaflia Bay on the Katmai Coast, I have been waking up at night with thoughts of this 37-year-old Midwestern woman I never knew. I can't get free of the words in an e-mail from an old boyfriend, sent months after Huguenard's death. "Amie had a kind of naivete about her that added a real sweetness to her entire persona,'' Stephen Bunch wrote. "At times it was easy to convince her of things that were not entirely true. We would let her in on...

What were Buffalo Co. residents thinking? SAN FRANCISCO — Andy Sywak is 27 and lives near Gold Gate Park in San Francisco, a metropolitan area that voted 83 percent in favor of John Kerry on Nov. 2. Full Story -- http://www.kearneyhub.com/html/news/news_4.htm

If polar bears really are getting skinnier as the 1999 study suggested, it may actually be due to an increased population subsisting on the same level of available food. After all, the harvesting of Alaskan polar bears has been limited by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (search) and international agreements since 1972. The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report has spurred a new round of calls for a clamp-down on carbon dioxide emissions. Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., told the Associated Press that the “dire consequences” of warming in the Arctic underscore the need for their proposal to...
