"Everything came to a halt." Those were the words of Juan Borges from Buenos Aires. He told the BBC, "Elevators, water pumps, everything. We were left adrift." Borges was referring to the effect of a massive, two-country-wide power outage that knocked out electricity to 48 million people in Argentina and Uruguay. The worst part about the outage? No one knows yet what caused it. Cyber-attack? Maybe. Infrastructure issues? Possibly. No one knows. Perhaps most terrifying for Argentinians was the lack of backup power generation for the country's water distribution systems. BBC … [Read more...]

Recently former President Barack Obama was in Brazil spouting lies about America's gun laws. Brazilians though have been excited to get their gun rights back after electing Jair Bolsonaro as president. The country is plagued with violent crime, lynchings and murders. Now Bolsonaro's promises on easing gun control measures are coming through, and Brazilians are taking their own self-defense seriously. America's 1st Freedom reports: Following President Jair Bolsonaro’s legislation this year to ease restrictive firearm laws, Brazilians from many walks of life now will be allowed to have … [Read more...]

I thought Sarah Huckabee Sanders was an incredible press secretary for President Trump—a difficult job on a good day never mind dealing with a deaf press corps in the Swamp. And the way she’s being treated by the liberal media on her way out the door is terrible. The fake news never recognizes a successful conservative woman. Here Heather Higgins, the CEO of Independent Women's Voice, gives her eye-opening take as to why: … [Read more...]

Sen. Kamala Harris, who would very much like to be America's next president, told union members recently that she would issue an executive order banning Right to Work laws. It is unlikely the Supreme Court would ever find such an executive order constitutional, but even the idea of changing the law in 27 states to force employees into paying unions they don't support is wrong. I have written many times about the success of Right to Work laws in providing Americans with the jobs they need. If you are unfamiliar with Right to Work, you can get a sense of it here: Right to Work States … [Read more...]

I recently told you the story of a client of mine who had to drive into what he called "gun hell," aka Massachusetts, without his favorite handgun. Because the trip's final destination was Massachusetts, and he couldn't concealed carry in that state, my client had to forgo his personal security throughout the entire trip from Arizona. If you are a firearm owner and you want to find the best resource for the rules of carrying your gun in each state, I advise picking up a copy of the 2019 Traveler's Guide to the Firearm Laws of the Fifty States. Here are some sample pages I use regularly. … [Read more...]

Yesterday I detailed the lies former President Barack Obama told Brazilians about American gun laws recently. As you may have already known, this isn't Obama's first use of untruths to push his radical anti-Second Amendment agenda. Here's a clip from the Daily Signal in which the then-president Obama spouts a number of lies about guns in America, including some of the same ones he made in Brazil recently. Watch the clip below. Read Barack’s Brazil Baloney. … [Read more...]

In 1947 Winston Churchill told the House of Commons that “…when I am abroad I always make it a rule never to criticise or attack the Government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home. But when I am abroad and speaking to foreigners I have even defended our present Socialist rulers, and always I have spoken with confidence of the future destiny of our country. Here at home we must do our duty, point out the dangers, and endeavour so to guide the nation as to avoid an overwhelming collapse. But I have no patience with Englishmen who use the hospitality of a friendly nation … [Read more...]
