Here’s the New Pistol U.S. Marine Spec Ops Will Be Using in Combat

I remember feeling a little bewildered when 10 years ago I saw a H&K P7 M13 on the hip of a ranger on the beach near Monterey, CA. I bought one in 1988 for $1100.00. AND, it wasn’t really all that great.
Atheists to Distribute ‘An X-Rated Book’ to Public School Kids to Combat Christians’ Bible Give Away

@ANTONW
I get from your comments that you fully support the FFRF and the CFF. You justify it by agreeing with who and what they are opposing. So I must assume you are also supportive of the image on the front of the book this article is reporting on. A barefoot, lustful, salivating, seemingly naked and hairy man wearing only a book costume reaching under a helpless girl’s dress and groping her genitalia. Since this is a book intended to battle the distribution of Bibles in school is that a picture of a school girl as well? Whatever it is it is disgusting and if you support distribution of a book like that in schools you are disgusting as well and there is no validity in any of your comments rational or not. Come to Fresno and try to hand out that violent porn literature at a school and you won’t be too successful.
Video Captures Palestinians Kicking, Pushing & Attacking Jews With Ice and Snow Outside Jerusalem’s Old City

@ techengineer11 …I’ve seen thousands of movie reels and still shots showing exactly this type of persecution of a people based entirely on them being Jewish. All the way from the 40s to this current video. But in the older ones no Jews got to walk away.
Oregon Men Openly Carry Rifles Around Portland Neighborhood to Make Point — Good Idea? (Poll)

In reply to The-Monk.

I know. I was 11 in the 70s and we used to take our .22s to school once a month to participate in a safety/shooting program after school. We would leave our rifles in the Principle’s office and retrieve them after the last period. This was in Reedley, CA and I have owned MANY firearms since and guess what????….I have never shot anyone. Go figure.

You know what would be much more constructive? If the paper could publish where all the illegal guns are that criminals possess.
New York and New Jersey Sandy Victims Find Support on Thanksgiving

November 22, 2012 at 9:38pm

Superstorm Sandy cut a swath of destruction along the New Jersey coastline it left tens of thousands of people homeless or without power and heat. Within 72 hours, Southern Baptist Disaster Relief was serving 170,000 meals a day—the beginning of a huge effort that would eventually mobilize all of the group’s large capacity mobile kitchens east of the Rocky Mountains. To date they have served over 1.5 million meals. Did you get that part above, we were cooking and serving 170,000 hot meals everyday from multiple cooking sites within 72 hours of when the storm passed. And all that food was paid for, transported, distributed. and supplied with logistic support by The Red Cross and that’s JUST the food. And, we feed victims, utility workers, emergency personnel, government employees, volunteers and many other essential disaster relief personnel. I have personally cooked over 1 million meals while volunteering for disaster relief all paid for by the Red Cross. In our area if an apartment building burns down at 3am and 100 people are put on the street and have no place to go The Red Cross puts a roof over those people’s heads within an hour and if they need to be fed they call us at that time and we feed them with supplies provided by The Red Cross. It’s not as easy as it looks and if more people would get trained to help at disaster sites instead of badmouthing the largest disaster relief organization in the world you would really appreciate them more.
Red Cross Bill at One ‘Upscale’ NYC Hotel to Hit $181,000 Post-Sandy

November 14, 2012 at 4:37pm

I find myself posting comments to stories like this every time there is a disaster. I don’t work or volunteer for the Red Cross but have been active since 1994 for the 3rd largest disaster relief organization. When there is a disaster motels and hotels fill up very fast. Most people won’t pick a higher end place and they are usually the hotels with vacancies still available. Also, there are 3 to 5 people in each of these rooms on a regular and rotating basis. And yes, the Red Cross CEO makes around $600k a year controlling a $3billion+ budget, more than 650 chapters and 36 blood services regions, a million volunteers and 30,000 employees, relief to people affected by more than 67,000 disasters, train almost 12 million people in medical skills and exchange more than a million emergency messages for U.S. military personnel. The Red Cross is the largest supplier of blood and blood products. Now try to imagine how VERY little our U.S. government agencies do with $3.5 billion a year. The Red Cross provides aid 24 hours every day of the 365 in a year including during catastrophic events. Haiti is still in shambles to this day and the largest donations for Haiti aid did not go to the Red Cross. I was in Haiti in the month of February of 2010. And with true love in my heart I encourage you to get trained to respond with a disaster organization and see for yourself the incredible service(s) The Red Cross, Salvation Army, and The Southern Baptist Disaster Relief offer to victims.
Tennessee Volunteers Reportedly Turned Away From Sandy Recovery Efforts

In reply to PurrrpleMtnMajesty.

I am not an official spokesman for the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief
Just sharing my knowledge, I joined up with these people in 1994 and have had the great fortune to have been active in many relief efforts. My statements are only conjecture based on past experiences. This Tenn. team did not go there without requests of deployment by the teams that were already operating in the area and the move was approved by the Red Cross. As far as “ground zero” areas, we always go to them. We were on site by Sept 12, 2001 in New York despite the congestion and I have passed through several mandatory evacuation areas controlled by the military with no restrictions. The “Blue Cap” person, Dave Acres, is so wonderfully humble that he would never express the incompetence of government officials as being the cause of his team being turned away. I have never in 18 years seen the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief in the news so much as I have in the past 2 weeks. PLEASE, I encourage you to watch for their training seminars held close to where you live and take the certification courses so you can aid disaster relief efforts in the future.
Tennessee Volunteers Reportedly Turned Away From Sandy Recovery Efforts

Speaking directly to the tsunami of 2004, when the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief teams arrived overseas they had an idea of what role they would be playing but that quickly changed upon arrival. Because of a lack of desire and ability of local efforts the U.S. Baptist Relief teams became the main body recovery units in the devastated areas. Not pleasant but as always they fill any and every void presented to them in disaster areas as God would have them do.
