| A 21-year-old son shot dead an intruder to protect his immigrant parents when three men stormed their suburban home in Houston on Thursday night. The residents, who are from Eastern Europe, were enjoying some family time together and baking a cake when they heard a knock on the door at around 8pm. The father answered the door and a group of three men forced their way in. ´I see a young boy and I think it is a friend of my son so I open it a little bit,´ the father explained to KHOU-TV, he did not want

When are we going to hear from Biden that to avoid gun violence, that we are to comply with home invader demands?

I get my self defense advice from Double Barrel Biden. Maybe the kid should have taken his gun out on the back porch and shot it in the air. That would tech those crooks.

Forgive me for somewhat off topic ramblings. This morning on another thread I said amnesty may be the most dangerous obama domestic policy objective. I take that back. For a gun grab may be just as, perhaps even more dangerous. Yesterday on a gun control thread I took a personal snipe at a poster. I regret the indiscretion. I regret that frustration gets the better of me at times because of the realization that conservatIves are losing. A fatigued hand hold has replaced the tight rein on liberals. Soon we will chase a horse that can´t be caught.
Adios.

I like that thought, #12, but since the others ran, perhaps he DID have a high-capacity magazine. The anti-defense liberals tout low capacity magazines as giving the other guy a chance to disarm the gunman, and they are exactly right. These intruders may have seen that they had NO chance to disarm him.

The possibility of situations like this is one reason that most gun owners will not tolerate or comply with gun grabs or more restrictive gun laws. Had it not been for the gun under the bed, this family would likely have not had any surviving member left to call 911. If this had been the average family in say, New York City or Chicago, we would have been reading a different story and three perps would still be walking the streets looking for the next victims.

Don´t you worry, #13. We all understand your frustration. The liberals want us to feel as we do: depresed, discouraged, hopeless, and outnumbered. But, these are certainly not attributes fostered by decent people. This is what feeds hell. I believe we are where we are for a reason, and that something is coming. What, I cannot say, but what is happening in the country now is too significant to be just a passing moment in history. Have faith. We are a righteous people and we will not be defeated.

The thought of actual self defense is so foreign to them, as well as the fact that the son´s actions weren´t demonized at length in the article. And, most shocking of all, the dirtbag was not only shot dead but nowhere is he made out to be a victim of capitalism.

Search Doug Hagmann, investigator (along with his son) to read his information for the real reason this gun ban is being pushed so Fast and Furiously by Obama and his Dem cronies. Hagmann frequently has his articles posted on Canadian Free Press. Thank goodness for Castle Law in Texas. That law has saved many. And "NO" to any method to get names in a database so that the gov´t has it at the ´ready´ to know where to confiscate guns.

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

North Korea has loaded two intermediate-range missiles onto mobile launchers and hidden them in an unidentified facility near the east coast, South Korea´s Yonhap news agency has said.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
