news
News is packaged information about current events happening somewhere else; or, alternatively, news is that which the news industry sells. News moves through many different media, based on word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, and electronic communication.
Common topics for news reports include war, politics, and business, as well as athletic contests, quirky or unusual events, and the doings of celebrities. Government proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, and criminals, have been dubbed news since ancient times.
Humans exhibit a nearly universal desire to learn and share news from elsewhere, which they satisfy by traveling and talking to each other. Technological and social developments, often driven by government communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which news can spread, as well as influenced its content. The genre of news as we know it today is closely associated with the newspaper, which originated in China as a court bulletin and spread, with paper and printing press, to Europe.

Report is here. Good reminder that gun powder / fireworks in metal box = bomb...

The Crime Prevention Research Center just published its new annual report:
New Study: 17.25 million concealed handgun permits, biggest increases for women and minorities
Surprised Main Street Media hasn't told you?
In the past two years there has been a huge surge in “non-traditional” gun owners. There are a lot of new faces at the range and they don’t look like you anymore. If 2A rights are going to be preserved then gun culture has to expand beyond the ever shrinking demographic of conservative old white...

I have heard through the grape vine today that Washington's I-1639 sanctuary city of Republic is holding a 300 table gun show on Memorial Day weekend. I talked to the guy that is putting it on. It will be held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. No Monday. This needs major national attention. I...
