If you are like many a shooter you have thought about the hobby of reloading or handloading your own ammunition. Reloading or handloading is the hobby of recycling/manufacturing your own ammo for your firearms. The process basically starts with an empty brass case and involves depriming it/repriming it, adding powder and then a bullet by the use of specialized tools. What tools, you may ask? Is it safe? Why should I do it? These questions have probably crossed your mind if you have been thinking about getting started in this great hobby. In this article I will attempt to provide simple answers to these questions. This article is not intended to be a how to on reloading, or tell you what is the best equipment for reloading, it is just to mainly inform you of what you will need and some possible safety tips.

If you have been around shooting long enough you have probably seen a blown up gun sitting in the gun shop display case with the label "Caused by a Handload". This is an example of the worst that can go wrong in handloading. You are probably thinking to yourself "How can this hobby be safe when that can happen?" Well I won’t lie to you, handloading can be a potentially unsafe hobby. How can you make it a safe hobby? With proper loading practices and taking your time. A majority if not all handloading accidents are caused by not paying attention or not following instructions. Handloading requires patience, 100 percent of your attention, and the ability to follow instructions to the letter. Following those simple tips will insure you a lifetime of safe reloading.

So why should you start reloading? The most obvious reason is cost savings. Take for example shooting a .44 magnum. The cheapest factory plinking ammo I can find in my area starts at around .40 cents a shot. With reloading you can get that down to around .11 cents a shot if you saved all of your brass for reuse. The savings can be even greater if you are buying premium ammo. The second reason is you will have the ability to create custom ammo for each gun or low recoil ammo to condition yourself to the recoil of the magnums. Handloading also gives you the option of making ammo that is not available from the factory. The third reason is that it is just plain fun and will lead to you being able to shoot more.

By this time you may be ready to take the plunge, but you are wondering what equipment you need. You may be confused by the large amount of available equipment. Well, I am going to attempt to make it easy for you and break the equipment down into 3 categories: Absolutely required, nice to have items, and specialty items. Some of the items on the lists are going to be borderline to which category they go into, meaning that they may or may not be required depending on your setup.

As the name says, these items are ones that you cannot reload without. The first and most important item on this list is the press. The press is the backbone of your setup. Presses come in many different styles but basically can be broken down into two categories: progressive and single stage. Single stage presses are ones that only do one operation with each pull of the handle. Their main advantages are:

• They are capable of reloading nearly every cartridge on the market depending on the size of the press.
• They are inexpensive to start out with.
• They have the capability of accepting add on attachments that enable the press to do other reloading tasks besides reload ammo.
• They are very easy to learn the operation of.
• They need little to no maintenance.

The main disadvantage a Single Stage press has is that it is slow. The best you may be capable of producing is around 50 rounds of loaded ammo in about an hour.

Where the single stage presses main disadvantage is speed, the progressive presses main advantage is speed. Most progressive presses are easily capable of 150+ rounds an hour. They accomplish this by doing multiple operations on different cartridge cases with each pull of the handle, often creating a finished cartridge with each pull. The main disadvantages of a progressive type press are:

• Cost: they average 2-3 times the price of a single stage press and sometimes more.
• Parts can and will wear out requiring replacement on most models.
• Most if not all models require some type of routine maintenance to operate at peak efficiency.
• They have a slower learning curve and may seem "finicky" until you learn its operation.

So which type should you choose? That depends on your needs. First off you need to choose a press that is large enough. Larger cartridges will require a larger press of either type to accommodate them. Check with the manufacturer if in doubt about a presses ability to handle the cartridges you want to reload. Second you should consider if the press will see more rifle or pistol reloading. Most people prefer to do rifle cartridges on a single stage press because of the extra care needed with bottle neck rifle cases. The next thing you need to consider is how much you shoot. If you only shoot around 200 rounds a month then a single stage would suit you just fine. More then 200 rounds a month and a progressive press may be the ticket for you. As far as my personal recommendation for starting out I would invest in a single stage due to the fact that they are inexpensive to start with and easy to learn on. Progressive presses are nice, but for learning the process of reloading they have too much going on at any one time. Now there are progressive presses out there that can be used as a single stage for learning on, if you decide you need a progressive press that may be the way to go for you. Keep in mind that most reloaders that own a progressive press also have a single stage press around for one reason or another.

The next piece of required equipment you will need is a set of dies. The dies go into the press and do the actual work on the cartridge case. Dies come as sets that are cartridge specific, but there are sets that may load 2 or more similar cartridges. A .38 special/.357 magnum die set is an example of this. The number of dies that come in a set will usually be 2 for bottleneck cartridges and 3 for straight walled cartridges. In a 2 die set the first die is used to remove the spent primer, resize the case, and expand the throat area for a new bullet. The second die in the set is used for seating a new bullet in the case and crimping it in place. In a two die set you will have to use lube when resizing the case to prevent it from seizing in the die. In a 3 die set the first die is used to resize the case and remove the spent primer. The second die in the set is used to expand the case mouth for a new bullet. The third die in the set is used to seat and crimp a new bullet into place. Three die sets are usually available in steel, carbide and or titanium nitride. The carbide and titanium nitride sets are a little more expensive but have the advantage that they can be used without lube; a steel die set will require lube to be used. It is worth the extra cost to buy a carbide or titanium nitride set when available. Most brands of dies will work in any press, but sometimes you will run into a press that is die-brand specific. This is something to check when purchasing your press

The third required item you will need is a shellholder or shellplate. This is the piece that goes in your press to hold the cartridge case in place. Single stage presses most often use universal shellholders that work in any brand of press. Most progressive presses utilize a shellplate that is unique to the brand and type of press. Shellplates are more expensive then shellholders. Shellplates and shellholders are cartridge specific, but most can be used with multiple different cartridges.

The fourth required item is some type of powder measuring/dispensing device. This can be as simple as a calibrated set of scoops that are used by looking up how much powder each scoop holds on a table to a hopper filled rotary type that is adjustable to throw any charge weight you desire. Depending on the type of measuring/dispensing type you go with you may need to get some more equipment that is described later. If you are using a progressive press it will most likely come with a hopper-type powder measure that is either adjustable for any charge weight or uses removable rotors that throw a fixed charge weight. The hopper-type measures that use removable rotors are used by looking up the charge weight you want to throw and selecting the proper rotor for the measure. The best setup for either press type is a powder measure that is adjustable for any charge weight, but it does require extra equipment that will be mentioned later.

The last item you will need to reload is data. Reloading data is the recipe for the cartridge. It tells what type and how much of each ingredient that you will be using. The best sources are reloading manuals put out by the various bullet manufacturers. Most will contain data for a number of different cartridges, history of the cartridges, and any special tips for the cartridges. The better ones also have sections on how to reload with many good tips. It is a good idea to own multiple reloading manuals if possible. The second best source of data is from the powder manufacturers themselves. Most will provide you with the data for free on their website or through pamphlets available at your local gun shop. The last source of data is from the internet in general. This data may be safe to use in most cases but should always be verified with a reputable source before use. A reputable source is one of the previously mentioned suppliers of data. This is where multiple reload manuals come in handy. As far as using the data some general safety tips are:

• Follow the data to the letter; do not substitute components at first.
• Start low and work up, don’t ever start with the max charge listed or exceed the max charge.
• Some data sources only shows the maximum charge, in this case reduce by 10-15% and work up from there.

That is the list of everything that is absolutely required for you to start reloading equipment wise. The next list is the stuff that is nice to have. Keep in mind though that some of the items listed next may be required items based on your above choices. If this is the case I will state that with the item description.

These items are items while not necessary to reload with are nice to have around. As stated earlier some of them may be required based on your press type or what you reload. I am going to try and list them in order of importance.

The first item on this list is a scale. A scale is used to check the weight of your powder charge, weight of bullets, and to calibrate your powder measure if it is adjustable. As far as reloading goes you will need a scale intended just for that. The scale you use should be calibrated in grains, which is the standard unit of weight used in the United States for reloading. The scale should be accurate to .1 grain. Keep in mind there are 7000 grains in 1 pound. There are two types of scales in common use today, the balance beam type, and the digital type. Both types are very accurate. The balance beam is far more common and is usually less expensive. Depending on your press type and or powder measure setup a scale may be a required item. If you do not have a scale in your startup kit because it was not required I urge you to pick one up as your next reloading purchase.

The second good to have item is a dial caliper. A dial caliper is used to measure length of such things as case over all length, and bullet sizes. The caliper you use for reloading needs to be accurate to .001 inches. This item is more important to a person that loads for semi-auto handgun rounds due to the fact that the cartridge needs to be kept to an overall length specified in your reloading manual for proper feeding and to insure that the bullet is not seated to deeply. It is also used with other tools later on in this list. Once again every reloader should have a dial caliper as one of their tools.

The third item on the list is a case trimmer. A case trimmer is used to trim your cartridge cases all to the same length as specified by your reloading manual. While not as important to the handgun reloader, trimming your cases becomes a necessary task with most rifle cartridges due to the fact that they can lengthen over repeated reloading and firings. The largest benefit a case trimmer provides to the handgun reloader is that it will uniform up all your cartridge cases to the same length, thus giving you a more consistent crimp and possibly more accurate loads. You will need a dial caliper to use a case trimmer and a deburring tool to smooth up the trimmed area.

A case tumbler/vibrator makes the number 4 position on this list. This piece of equipment takes your brass cases and by means of tumbling or vibrating with some type of media and cleaner polishes and cleans them back up to a like new shine. The main benefit this has for the handloader is that your cases will be clean and free of all contaminants before you reload them. This will help prolong the life of your dies, and prevent them from getting scratched up by dirt. As an added benefit you get nice shiny brass and we all know shiny brass is more accurate than dull brass. Just joking there.

The next item on the list is one that some people may consider not necessary or one that you can live without: a chronograph. What a chronograph does is measure the velocity of the fired bullet. Most models will also keep track of the velocities from a number of rounds fired and then tell you the average velocity, high and low velocity, extreme spread, average deviation and standard deviation. This data is a treasure trove to the reloader because it tells you how consistent your loads are and it gives you a measured number that can be used when working up a load. Most people that own a chronograph say they would not live without one. Price wise they are a fairly inexpensive investment with most models starting at less than $100. This is one investment that I encourage all shooters to own even if they do not reload.

The last item, which is not really an item at all but is nice to have, is a place to reload. Ideally you will have a dedicated space for reloading. In the beginning if you are just using a small single stage press you can bolt it to a sturdy piece of wood and then clamp it to any stable surface and reload. This will give you a very portable unit that will not be in the way when it is not being used. As you progress in your reloading hobby though and acquire larger presses or a progressive press you will need a dedicated area and sturdy bench to mount everything on permanently.

Are these all the nice to have items, short answer no. A few other inexpensive items that are nice to have depending on if you need them or not are:

• Primer flip tray. Used to position primers all up or down for ease of loading into primer feed tubes.
• Loading blocks. These blocks hold your cartridge cases in an upright position in a nice organized manner. They can be purchased for fewer than $5 at most gun shops or can be made from a block of wood. This item is not as important to someone that only uses a progressive press, but if you use a single stage I recommend you have one on hand.
• Bullet puller. This item is used to disassemble loaded rounds back to the component state. This item is handy to have around for any mistakes you may make or anything you are not sure about.

This section I am going to dedicate to specialty tools used in reloading. Specialty tools are often tools that do a job that one of the tools listed above already does but does it better or more accurately. Most likely you will not need any of these tools, but some of them can be handy to have around. Below is a short list of some of the more commonly available specialty tools:

• Specialty Dies. These are extra dies you can add onto your existing die sets. Some of the more common ones used are:
  1. Universal decapper die. This die is pretty much a universal one that works with just about any caliber. Its main use is to deprime a cartridge case without sizing it or touching it in any way. Most people use it for removing the primer prior to polishing the cases in a case tumbler or vibrator.
  2. Lube die. This die is available for a number of different cartridges, but one die usually fits a family of cartridges. This die is most often used in a progressive press to lube rifle cases for resizing, eliminating the step of you having to do it by hand each time. If you only use a single stage press there is no added benefit to owning this die.
  3. Factory Crimp die. This item is available from Lee. It is cartridge specific die that is used to provide a factory type crimp and a second sizing of the finished case to make sure it is returned to factory specs. If you are having feeding problems or chambering problems with your reloads this die can be helpful to own.
  4. Small base dies. These dies are usually cartridge specific dies used on semi-auto rifle rounds to size the area of the case just ahead of the rim down to aid in feeding and chambering in semi-auto rifles. If you reload for a semi-auto rifle and are having chambering difficulties with your reloads this die may help you out.
• Hand priming tool. You do not need this item due to the fact that your press is capable of seating primers, but it can be handy to have. This tool does allow greater control and feel during primer seating. If you use a progressive press this tool will likely be of little use to you. For the single stage reloader this tool can speed up the process of reloading a little depending on your presses priming setup.
• Powder trickler. This item is for the reloader that likes to weigh every charge for every case for maximum accuracy. It is used to trickle very small amounts of powder onto your scale to achieve the desired weight. This item is not easily used with a progressive press setup.
• Digital scale/powder dispensing system combo. This combo utilizes a digital scale that is linked to an electronic powder dispenser. It fulfills the same purpose as a scale and powder trickler listed above but automates the process. Most units allow you to punch in the desired powder charge weight and the machine will dispense exactly that amount. These units are expensive and are only really useful to someone looking to achieve maximum accuracy from their reloads. Once again this item is not easily used with a progressive press setup.
• Primer pocket cleaning tool. This tool is used to clean any buildup out of the primer pocket in your cases after the primer is removed. Most people do not take the time to do this extra step. Of the people that do take the time to do this step most are trying to achieve maximum accuracy from their reloads. The only real need you may have of this tool is if you are consistently getting high primers (a condition where the primer sticks up higher than the head of the cartridge after seating. Primers should be seated flush with the case head for maximum sensitivity and safety. Seating the primer slightly below the case head is ideal). One cause of this is a buildup of junk in the pocket that will need to be removed. This tool is fairly inexpensive if you need it.

Well that should about do it for what you need in reloading tools. Now this is in no way a complete list of tools available to the reloader, but it does include the more commonly encountered items. If you have everything on the required items list you are set to start reloading. The ideal setup for you will most likely be a combination of the above items, but if you stay with the hobby long enough you will most likely get all the items on the nice to have list and maybe a few of the specialty items.

What is the best way to get the above items. Well it depends on your budget. There are a few companies that offer starter kits that will get you a majority of the items on the required list (most kits do not include the dies or a shellholder) and some items on the nice to have list. Most of the starter kits come with a single stage press, but there are a few progressive press starter kits out there. A starter kit is a cost efficient way of starting out. If your budget does not permit the purchase of a starter kit, or the press that is included in the kit will not fit your needs you can easily make your own kit by just purchasing the items on the required list and any that may be needed from the nice to have list. Once you have everything you need you are ready to learn the reloading process.

Unfortunately this article is not about how to reload. Ideally to learn the reloading process it would be best to have someone who reloads guide you in the steps of reloading. Since that is not always possible the next best thing is to have a couple of good reloading manuals around. They will explain in detail the process of reloading and how to set up your dies. Another great source on how to reload is your local gun shop. Some of them run reloading clinics or can tell you when reloading equipment manufacturers may be sponsoring a clinic near you.

I hope this article was of some help to you if you are thinking about becoming a handloader. If you do decide to take the plunge let me be the first to welcome you to a great new hobby.

House Republicans approved a stopgap spending bill that delays ObamaCare in an early-morning Sunday vote that increases the chances of a government shutdown.

The high-stakes GOP move intensifies a game of chicken with Senate Democrats with just 48 hours to go before the lights could go out on the federal government.

The White House threatened to veto the measure, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) proclaimed it dead in the upper chamber.

The imminent deadline, combined with the prolonged impasse, has led some lawmakers to predict a shutdown is all but inevitable.

"In candor … when the clock strikes midnight on Monday, the place is shutting down," Rep. Robert Andrews (N.J.), head of the Democrats' Steering and Policy Committee, said Saturday night.

The House added language delaying implementation of the healthcare law by a year in a 231-192 vote, with Democratic Reps. Jim Matheson (Utah) and Mike McIntyre (N.C.)  joining Republicans. Two Republicans voted against the delay, Reps. Chris Gibson (N.Y.) and Richard Hanna (N.Y.). 

The House also voted to eliminate a tax on medical devices in a 248-174 vote, with 17 Democrats joining the GOP. The tax is intended to pay for some of the law’s costs. Gibson switched his vote from no to yes toward the end of the vote. 

Under the rule adopted earlier in the day, the underlying spending bill was deemed passed with the approval of the two amendments.

Unveiled by GOP leaders just hours earlier, the continuing resolution (CR) would fund the government through Dec. 15. It would delay the individual coverage mandate and the insurance exchanges which are set to launch on Tuesday – and eliminate a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices.

Republican supporters said the ObamaCare delay is necessary to prepare a wary public for sweeping changes that lack the underlying infrastructure to make them work. They framed their postponement proposal as a compromise, relative to the defunding measure they had pushed earlier in the month.

“This bill is not about whether ObamaCare is going to come in or not,” said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.). “What we're voting on is whether or not you'll accept the compromise which we have reached out to offer.”

The argument didn't sit well with Democrats, who were quick to note that the sequester-level spending contained in the Senate-passed bill – a level anathema to many Democrats – is the same as that of the initial House CR.

“You've won,” said Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md), “but you can't take yes for an answer.”

A separate bill, designed to ensure that military personnel are paid even if a shutdown is not averted, was also approved in a unanimous vote.

Republicans characterized the bill as a safety net in the event Congress can't reach a deal. Democrats countered with charges that the proposal is evidence that the GOP's CR strategy is designed to shutter the government.

The CR package was designed to cater to conservative Republicans, who have insisted that any spending package must scale back ObamaCare. Those conservatives had revolted earlier in the month when Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) tried to move a funding bill without that direct link.

The resistance forced GOP leaders to approve a CR last week that would have defunded the healthcare law – language that was stripped by Senate Democrats Friday, putting the ball back in Boehner's court.

At a closely watched meeting of the GOP conference Saturday afternoon in the Capitol basement, Boehner outlined his hard-line strategy, leading to cheers from a conference that's often been wary of his conservative credentials.

“This is exactly what we hoped for so we're all getting behind leadership,” said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), a Tea Party favorite. “We're excited [and] we're united.”

The bill now moves back to the Senate, where Reid is expected to scrap the two healthcare amendments with a single vote on Monday, when the Senate returns, and return the "clean" CR, yet again, to Boehner and House Republicans.

“To be absolutely clear, the Senate will reject both the one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act and the repeal of the medical device tax,” Reid said in a statement. “After weeks of futile political games from Republicans, we are still at square one: Republicans must decide whether to pass the Senate’s clean CR, or force a Republican government shutdown.”

That move could potentially come just hours before the Tuesday shutdown.

"ObamaCare is based on limitless government, bureaucratic arrogance, and a disregard of the will of the people," said Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.).

The 17 Democrats who voted to eliminate the medical device tax were McIntyre, Matheson, Ron Barber (Ariz.), Tammy Duckworth (Ill.), John Barrow (Ga.), Dan Maffei (N.Y.), Patrick Murphy (Fla.), Cheri Bustos (Ill.), John Delaney (Md.), William Enyart (Ill.), Sean Maloney (N.Y.), Jerry McNerney (Calif.), Bill Owens (N.Y.), Scott Peters (Calif.), Nick Rahall (W.Va.), Bradley Schneider (Ill.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.). 

Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement early Sunday that Republicans "failed the American people."

"They voted to shut down the government, all because of their obsession with taking away health insurance for millions of people and giving back to insurance companies the power to decide who gets what care. In their blind pursuit of ideology over our nation’s best interests, Republicans are hurting our economy, threatening job creation, and leaving families with less security and stability," Cummings said.

A Yale professor is cautioning the world to wake up from its nuclear slumber and face the severity of the Fukushima radiation crisis, warning that ’all of humanity will be threatened for thousands of years’ if the Fukushima unit 4 pool is not kept cool. The disturbing statements act as a voice of reality when it comes to the depth of the Fukushima disaster, an event that world governments have relentlessly attempted to downplay while silently shutting down radiation counters and raising ‘acceptable’ levels of radiation in the food supply.

The Fukushima explosion that officials now admit led to the emission of more than double the radiation levels originally stated.

And now, along with other nuclear physicists and scientists, Professor Charles Perrow of Yale is sounding the alarm on the disaster that myself and others have been warning against since day one. And another prominent intellectual now speaking out on the subject does not surprise me. After all, we are seeing more and more high level academics speaking out due to the overall understanding that even job loss is nothing compared to the fatal consequences of allowing Fukushima to meltdown indefinitely.

In his article posted on the Huffington Post website, Professor Charles Perrow cautions:

“Conditions in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground, are perilous, and if any two of the rods touch it could cause a nuclear reaction that would be uncontrollable. The radiation emitted from all these rods, if they are not continually cool and kept separate, would require the evacuation of surrounding areas including Tokyo. Because of the radiation at the site the 6,375 rods in the common storage pool could not be continuously cooled; they would fission and all of humanity will be threatened, for thousands of years.”

The Professor’s statements coincide with the warnings of previous experts who have said that Fukushima trumps even Chernobyl and other nuclear disasters. Even the mainstream media has covered these declarations as Japanese studies expose the fact that radiation levels emitted from Fukushima were much higher than plant officials ever admitted (and it was predominantly dumped into the Pacific Ocean). The Independent reports:

“Some scientists say Fukushima is worse than the 1986 Chernobyl accident, with which it shares a maximum level-7 rating on the sliding scale of nuclear disasters.”

But the true problem lies with the aforementioned spent fuel rods. All the boron between the spent fuel rods has disintegrated, and plant officials are gearing up to remove them within the next couple of months. What the Yale Professor and others are warning about really comes down to the fact that a chain nuclear reaction could begin in the event that the rods get too close together. This, they say, would create nuclear mayhem. And given the record of the plant operators, who at one point were using duct tape and trash to fill in the destructing plant, this task is truly concerning.

By spreading the word on the issue, we can ignite worldwide awakening on the severity of Fukushima’s radioactive nightmare and demand immediate action. For now, it is essential to prepare yourself and your family. Recently, radiation expert Dr. Edward F. Group discussed the power of nascent ‘nuclear’ iodine and his ideas to better prepare your family:

—————————

Nuclear Iodine: Doctor Reveals Fukushima Radiation Nightmare Solution

As the Fukushima radiation nightmare continues, top experts and analysts are continuing to warn against the devastating radiological effects that are already hammering citizens of the Northern Hemisphere and around the globe at record levels.

And while Fukushima is considered to be ‘even worse’ by nuclear scientists and researchers thanChernobyl in terms of the radioactive contamination, what’s even more concerning is the fact that Fukushima is only one factor in the spiking levels of radiation within the United States and abroad.

Over the past several decades we have seen the emergence of excessive nuclear testing, the voluminous creation of nuclear power facilities, medical applications with radiation, the pollution of the air with radioactive elements, and even the absolute contamination of the food supply with health-crushing radiation — all contributing to a spike in background radiation levels that have been steadily climbing since just 60 years ago.

Meanwhile, even the Fukushima plant operators were forced to admit that the radiation levels released from the plant explosion were at the very least 2 1/2 times greater than they admitted. But the real question is what happened to the majority of the radioactive contamination? According to one revealing study examining the true crippling effects of Fukushima on the globe, 20% of the caesium-137 fell on Japanese land, and about 2% ended up on land outside the country. The remainder came down in the Pacific Ocean, which means around 68% of the highly dangerous radioactive waste was released directly into the Pacific Ocean.

Is it any wonder now that the EPA is actually going ahead and raising the ‘acceptable levels’ of radiation in the food supply as other nations just blatantly shut off their radiation tracking systems? Radioactive isotopes have already been discovered in California, and even as far away as Boston. There’s a reason that even the Huffington Post now says that we are facing ‘Fukushima Forever’ as radiation continues to drain into the ocean.

The Solution According to Top Doctors and Researchers

Ultimately, all of the top experts say that the real ‘solution’ is to move to the Southern Hemisphere, which in reality is not really a viable solution for the vast majority of us. When speaking with the experts on this exact subject searching for a more viable answer, however, the response is always to begin taking a super strength form of what’s known as nascent iodine on a daily basis because it is the only form your body can truly utilize in a way that supports the thyroid like nothing else.

The problem with this has always been the fact that I know numerous nascent iodine supplements, and more so the harmful chemical versions of iodine, often contain toxic fillers and GMO derivatives. We’re talking glycerin taken from USDA slaughterhouses where the livestock are fed GMO ingredients, absorption-blocking filler ingredients, GMO-derived corn ingredients, and a host of toxic substances.

So after years of looking for something I could actually take and recommend to my readers who actually count on me to steer them away from any form of concerning substance within their supplements, I ended up teaming up with internationally renowned radiation expert and supplement formulator Dr. Edward Group to develop what is now known as Survival Shield for Alex Jones’ Infowars Life product line – a super high quality double strength form of nascent iodine that is absolutely free of these problematic substances that can actually damage your health.

According to top medical professionals, nutritionists, and radiation experts, nascent iodine is really the alternative to migrating to the Southern Hemisphere, and it’s essential to ensure you are receiving a form of nascent iodine that can both be utilized by your body and is free of dangerous additives. To ensure this, we made sure that Survival Shield was:

- Completely non-GMO certified
- The nascent iodine in Survival Shield is not subjected to direct heat, harsh chemicals, or alcohol
- Contains raw, certified-USP grade iodine
- Vegan-friendly and completely non-toxic

As you are aware, there is currently a run on nascent iodine amid the radioactive chaos we face on a daily basis. As an alternative to moving to South America, my choice based on the advice of top doctors and researchers who I have spoken to over the years, is to utilize nascent iodine on a daily basis and also maintain a stockpile in my medicine cabinet for my family.

One thing that truly amazes me nearly on a daily basis is the amount of immaturity that our political leaders have. In particular, a single man has stood out recently with a level of immaturity rivaled by only my 5 month old son, except my son has the decency to not know any better as of yet. The man I am referring to is the infamous Harry Reid who just recently threw a temper tantrum calling the Tea Party "Anarchists."

When I first heard this, I was upset because like most people, I take great pride in my country and to be called an Anarchist is incredibly disrespectful. Especially being someone who honorably served and fought for his First Amendment right to insult me. Then a realization occurred to me...

The liberal agenda has shown time and again that when they risk losing anything, they will utilize every resource and means to fight themselves out of their corner. Even if it means destroying the very nation they are supposed to be a part of. They do not care about the Constitution, to them it is cheap paper. They do not care about your family, they will rip it apart to pass their propaganda. They believe in one entity, the Democrat party. If you are not in their party, you are an enemy. Sound familiar? Look up some world history on the Communist party or even the Nazi Party, the list goes on.

What Harry Reid has proven today is that the Democrat Party is actually frightened by the Tea Party and has been so. They are hitting us with everything they can, yet we are still here. The reason why they are doing this is that Democrats are losing power. The majority of Americans are sick of them.

At the same time, I have to say that the Republican Party needs to stand up to the Liberalist challenge head on instead of kneeling before every onslaught with "We will just let it pass and worry about the next problem." Grow a spine and stand your ground. I elected you to represent two things, myself and the Constitution. If you cannot do that then get out of office, because someone else needs to do your job for you. I managed to see a bit of that spine today, but America needs you more than anything so don't fail Lady Liberty in her hours of need. Just some food for thought...

I call John McCain, Jeff Flake twice a week to let them know I am watching them and will hold them accountable for any vote they make and any lobbyist that they hold hands with.  

McCains office thinks they are right and try to tell me how to vote, sometimes they say okay but McCain rarely pays attention to the base (voters). he is more interested in the GOP rank and file that tell how to vote and they help him get reelected.  McCain is totally against the Tea Party like so many other congressmen.  we need to remove them ASAP.  Flakes office always says okay but do not listen to the voters either.

The only way to deal with these congressman is to recall them. the only way to deal with the democrats is to boycott their sponsors.  they do it to us all of the time but we act like we are to good to go to their level.  ask yourself the question.  DO YOU WANT TO WIN?  or are you in this play fair while our opponents hit us, curse us, push us, vote against us. divide us while they laugh all the way to the bank with our tax money.  we have sat on our ass long enough. it is time. STAND UP OR SHUT UP.  and yes everyone is either part of the solution or part of the problem. no in the middle anymore.

When people used to think of the American Dream, they thought of a loving family, pet, home with that white picket fence, and a stable job. This was the standard stereotype that everybody wanted. It is what I grew up wanting. Yet, something happened... Somewhere, someone changed our dream and corrupted it. Twisting our words into propaganda, and using the deaths of children to push an unconstitutional agenda down our throats. Suddenly, the American Dream changed from what we may achieve if we try hard enough to "the government owes me."

I have worked hard my entire life and still do to this day. I have been a lowly janitor at an animal hospital cleaning animal feces, to serving my country in the Middle East twice, and now to a job as an instructor where a 50 hour week is considered normal. I manage to bring home enough after taxes to pay my debts and get gas for the month. My wife manages to buy groceries and the other essentials before we are waiting for the next pay check. Before taxes, I would make what many would consider a substantial sum, but after taxes I make about half of my paycheck, which is enough to literally drag along each day. So where is our money going? I certainly do not get a say where my money goes any more. I can barely afford to pay the personal property tax on my car. This is just my story, but many people in the middle class are feeling the same way, so what happens when capitalism collapses to the Liberal agenda?

"Liberal's" believe that the government should coddle anyone who falls through Food Stamps, Unemployment, Welfare, and other such means. They also believe in the share the wealth concept, where if I make more than you, you are entitled to a portion of my money and/or income. They would also have in power a system where if I work hard to run a business my entire life and it becomes successful, I should not reap the benefits, but have to share them with everyone who makes less than me and be taxed substantially higher because I worked hard my life and I am successful, where as, others should not have to work hard to achieve. These "Liberals" would also have your weapons removed so criminals are free to commit robbery, rape, and even murder your family without fear of armed defenders. After all, you'll get over it with and through government programs. The reason I quote "Liberals" is that not all Liberals are bad or evil, many are normal people that have a slightly different perspective which is needed to reach a consensus of millions of Americans. The "Liberals" I refer to are the Regime in power who are set on the complete destruction of our glorious capitalism and Constitution in exchange for their Socialism and Feudalistic rule.

I normally keep my composure, but it becomes more difficult with every day. I did not vote for the people in power, they do not respect me as a taxpayer, and they walk all over my beliefs. I fought and served for my country, losing some very great patriotic friends in the process protecting freedom. On that note, I know we found chemical weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so why do you lie openly saying we did not? Obama and the Democrats in power have pissed on our income, threatened our jobs, and threaten daily to take away our Constitutional Rights. Well, to the government that serves me (yes me, I pay taxes, I vote, you serve me, a citizen of the United States and every other citizen of our country) I have one word for you, NO. NO to Obamacare, NO to Marijuana, NO to Gun Control, NO to your Regimes' Bullshit...

My rights may be an illusion, but it is an illusion that I live for. In the words of Patrick Henry, "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death."

The liberal Dallas Morning News.com  ran a story (below) trying to slam Ted Cruz.  In a nutshell, at a speech in Austin, someone asked if he was willing to give up his salary during a government shut down. He basically said no. This sounded hypocritical to me.... at 1st. Then, I said to myself, self  he and all his other conservative buddies had the guts to stand up for their constituents and, should be paid. The rest, some of whom I voted for, I don't care. Then, further down, the article pointed out that- guess what? During a government shut down, all them big government morons get paid anyway. Wish private industry worked like that....."Hey Mike, ObamaCare and  our huge deficit has forced a company shut down.  We can't pay our bills but, by God, we are gonna still pay you, even though your spending cuts don't amount to a drop in a bucket.

On another media bias note: here in Texas a while back, Wendy Davis held a filibuster at the state capital, protesting for her right to kill babies-Texas thinks every life is precious. I know, we are assholes.  She was lauded as a hero on the left. Ted tries to save us from the Explosive Diarrhea  a.k.a. ObamaCare and, he is "just wasting everyone's time".

According to a new report released by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), $67 million is “missing” from an Obamacare slush fund.

The money was initially allocated for Obamacare implementation.

Obama’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not know where the $67 million went. All that is known for sure is that “the slush fund has already been spent.”

The TIGTA report stated that the IRS made no attempt to “account for” or “attempt to quantify” the $67 million, which was spent from FY 2010 through FY 2012.

Americans for Tax Reform (ATF) also pointed out several other examples of arguably reckless IRS spending, as revealed in the TIGTA report:

Wow, Obama will not speak to the republicans and will shut down the government before budging on the terrible train wreck called Obama care, but he praises Muslims and bends over backwards to speak with the Iranian President/Mullah.

That just does not seem right, much less Presidential for an American, but then Obama has contempt for the Constitution, 1st and 2nd Amendments, our judicial and legislative branches and selective US laws. On second thought, Obama reaching out to others while stiff arming fellow Americans does not surprise me.  

Sad times for America and I think the most divisive we have been since 1859. The President that promised to be transparent and bring everyone together has done just the opposite in every aspect of our country.

IF THE GOP DONT HAVE THE SPINE,,,DEFUND THE W2 WAY.....EXEMPT OURSELVES..

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says President Barack Obama would veto House Republican legislation that would delay much of the president's health care overhaul for a year and cancel a tax on medical devices.

The White House statement comes as the GOP-run House prepares to debate a bill averting a government shutdown Tuesday morning, but delaying the health care law and repealing the tax as the price for doing so. The medical device tax helps finance the health care law.

The Democratic-run Senate has approved legislation preventing the shutdown and leaving the health care overhaul alone. That 2010 law has been Obama's proudest domestic achievement.

The White House says the House bill would advance a narrow ideological agenda and threaten the economy. It says the bill pushes the government toward a shutdown.

President or should I say King,  Obama has declared November Muslim Appreciation Month. After the horrible tortures and murders of Christians in Kenya and over 83 churches torched in Egypt by the Brotherhood. His offer to shake the Chief Murderer in Iran is rejected, so he calls him. The country that finances world wide terrorists, actively develops a nuclear bomb, calls for the elimination of Israel and the US to bring the end of the world , continued  world wide continued Islamic  terrorism, the recent trail of a Islamic doctor in the Us military that murdered 13 plus people. Add the fact that virtually no US or foreign Muslims openly protest and contest world wout the Muslims the US saved around Serbia? No , nothing.

So, our tone deaf leader, Obama, thinks now is the time to praise and recognize the Muslims? Really? Maybe he just likes rubbing a once super powers face and fellow citizens face in the dirt or salt in our wounds?   

Regardless, it is terrible timing and tone deaf.

US officials have accused Iran of recently hacking unclassified Navy computers. If the allegations prove true, the incident would be one of the most serious cyberintrusions of American computer systems by the Islamic Republic.

The officials said hackers working for the Iranian government or a proxy group with approval from Iranian leaders are responsible for penetrating the unclassified Navy computer network.

US officials said they do not believe information of significant value was lifted, though the potency of such a cyberattack that accessed military data set off alarms at the Pentagon, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Iran’s cyber abilities have increased gradually, gaining further recognition from the US military, according to anonymous officials.

"Their ability to also play in this [cyber] sandbox compounds that concern," a US official said.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey were briefed on the infiltration and how the Pentagon is boosting its network strength. Congress has also been briefed on the hack, officials said.

Previous Iran-backed hacks and surveillance efforts have gone after US banks and energy industry computer networks.

The allegations occur as the US and Iranian governments have increased negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. US President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke on Friday, after both leaders delivered speeches this week before the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Iranian officials did not return requests for comment, the WSJ reported.

The US led a cyberattack -- dubbed ‘Olympic Games’ --  on Iranian uranium enrichment facilities during the Bush and the Obama administrations, the New York Times reported last July. The program included a collaboration with Israeli hackers to develop the Stuxnet computer worm, which was used to infect Iranian computer networks and damage hundreds of centrifuges at the Natanz enrichment facility.

While Americans are focused on the implementation of ObamaCare and the battle of the budget, the House is preparing to vote on an amendment offered by Rep. Ben Lujan (D-NM) that is a dry-run to kill the Keystone Pipeline and other economic development projects across the nation.

The House is scheduled to consider a non-controversial land-swap deal in Arizona. Liberal Rep. Ben Lujan (D-NM) is preparing an amendment that would give the Secretary of the Department of Interior the power to designate the site a Native American "cultural site" killing the project in its tracks.  The amendment is a dream for radical environmentalists who could use the amendment as a precedent to kill other developmental projects like Keystone Pipeline.

Supporters of the Lujan Amendment define "cultural sites" as anywhere where our original inhabitants' lived, prayed and worshiped would be barred from new development. 

Some Republicans are supporting the amendment perhaps not recognizing its a camel's nose under the net.  If this precedent is applied in the future it would have a destructive impact it would have on road construction, home building, land swaps, or even the development of the Keystone Pipeline.  

The amendment would give environmentalists another tool in their arsenal to stop development of any project they do not support.  Worse yet, there is little doubt, courthouses across the nation would be flooded with lawsuits from the radical environmentalists demanding "cultural site" designations anywhere and everywhere construction is proposed.

Contractors, road builders, pipelayers, and construction unions should be up in arms over the amendment but no one seems to realize its potential impact.   One government official should not have the power to stop economic development across the nation.  But if the Lujan amendment does become law, the Secretary of Interior would have that power.  Overnight he would become one of the most powerful government officials in the nation.  The Lujan amendment must be defeated.
