TEXT OF STATEMENT SHUTTING DOWN 'LAMBS' October 15, 2010Today, for grave reasons, I suppressed the Hermit Association of the Intercessors of the Lamb. The reasons for this suppression are noted in a separate news release, principally, the refusal of the lay civil board of the Intercessors of the Lamb, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, to acknowledge my authority in making much-needed reforms in the community. The way of life of some fifty vowed members was in peril due to actions of a handful of civil directors. The vows of the former members have ceased (c. 1194), and they are to set...

LINCOLN — A study in Nigeria that concluded Protestant women ran a higher risk of heavy bleeding after abortion. A 1970s study of cervical lacerations and other complications from abortions done before current methods were adopted. Studies linking psychological problems and abortion that rely on faulty and unreliable reporting of past behavior. These are among the types of research a federal lawsuit alleges that women seeking abortions would have to be informed about under a new Nebraska law. Planned Parenthood of the Heartland filed the lawsuit Monday to keep Legislative Bill 594 from taking effect as scheduled July 15. The...

In the absence of any real action by the Obama administration to crack down on illegal immigration, cities and towns across the U.S. are taking matters into their own hands. Arizona’s immigration law is case in point, but it doesn’t stop there. While many cities are calling for boycotts of all things Arizona (Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, to name a few), some in states around the country are following its lead in combating illegal immigration. The City Council of Fremont, Nebraska, a small Midwestern community with barely more than 25,000 residents, just passed an ordinance designed to...

As I have stated in the past, I DO NOT recommend you sit down with the news media to be interviewed following a gunfight. However, I would be remiss in my duties to educate you on what happens IN and AFTER a gunfight if I did not share this post gunfight interview with you. This is a great interview that demonstrates many of the key characteristics of those who command and control their destiny versus those who fall prey to random acts of violence. Watch this extremely educational and intriguing post-gunfight video and see if you can spot WHY this...

In what is developing into a standoff between states and the federal government that could be bigger than gun control or even health care, 17 states have launched versions of Arizona's immigration law, even as federal officials say they may not bother to process illegal aliens caught by the states. William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, which has been trying to get officials to address the open southern border for years, warned the consequences could be dire. "Over the last couple days, Obama and the chief of ICE have refused to honor their oaths of office," he...

LINCOLN - A citizen's fatal shooting of a would-be robber in Omaha has sparked a debate over whether Nebraska should join three other states and do away with training and permit requirements to carry concealed handguns. Harry J. McCullough III, a 32-year-old drugstore customer, shot one robber who was holding a sawed-off shotgun and apprehended another. McCullough did not possess a state permit to carry a concealed handgun. He probably would be ineligible for such a permit because of his 1997 misdemeanor conviction for carrying a concealed weapon. Many credit the actions of the former security guard with preventing the...

OMAHA, Neb., May 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Nebraska Firearms Owners Association (NFOA) today called on the city of Omaha to end its practice of registering firearms, in the wake of a case involving a private citizen who fatally shot an armed robber, and who continues to be denied the ability to register a new firearm by the Omaha Police Department, which took his defensive sidearm used in the shooting into evidence. NFOA President Andreas Allen said that the hero in this incident, Harry (James) McCullough, now faces gang reprisal because the armed robber man he fatally shot was a documented...

After a man was shot and critically injured in front of a west Omaha house early Friday, his father fired back at the assailant.

This is a video of Harry James McCullough's attorney explaining what happened in the Nebraska Walgreen shooting. It takes a long time to load, and you have to watch a commercial first, but I found it fascinating because it had all kinds of details missing from the news reports. It did miss that one of his rounds went down the barrel of the short barreled shotgun.

The Nebraska Firearms Owner Association has offered to buy a new handgun for the man who shot and killed a robbery suspect at an Omaha Walgreens. Harry "James" McCullough, 32, said he's been overwhelmed by the support from people appreciative of his actions. On Monday, April 26th, he noticed two men, one of them armed with a shotgun, threaten the clerk and another customer at the Walgreens on 61st and NW Radial. That's when he shot the man 4-times, killing him. McCullough then held down the other suspect until police arrived. "You only have one chance," is what he told...

Harry James McCullough took it personally. The former security guard was standing at a Walgreens checkout counter when he saw two masked men, one with a sawed-off shotgun, enter the store. Marquail Thomas, 18, pointed the shotgun at customers and yelled, “Nobody (expletive) move!'' “There's no doubt in my mind what they were going to do,” McCullough said Thursday. “There was no time to react. You only have one chance.” McCullough pulled out a pistol and shot Thomas four times. Thomas collapsed outside the store and died later at a hospital. McCullough chased down the second masked man, whom Omaha...

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The Nebraska attorney general's office says the city of Omaha is violating state law by forcing people who have permits to carry concealed guns to also register their guns with the city. The formal - but not legally binding - opinion issued Friday says Omaha's rule imposes a gun-possession regulation not allowed under a measure passed last year by lawmakers. That law says cities can't have local rules barring people with conceal-carry permits from carrying concealed guns inside city limits. Background checks and training are required to get conceal-carry permits. Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial introduced...

LINCOLN — Is Omaha a confusing place for gun owners? Not if you ask City Prosecutor Marty Conboy. Conboy said the city’s handgun registration ordinance still applies to people who have obtained a state concealed-gun permit, despite a state law adopted last year to nullify city ordinances banning concealed guns. “State law doesn’t regulate registration,” Conboy said Thursday. His comments came after plenty of confusion was voiced about Omaha’s ordinance during a public hearing of the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee. Some of those testifying at the hearing, as well as State Sen. Colby Coash of Lincoln, said a recent memo from...

Self-Evident Truths: Sen. Dianne Feinstein says it comes under the Commerce Clause. Rep. Steny Hoyer says it's mandated by the "general welfare" clause. Despite liberal wishes, health care is not a right. The "living Constitution" that Democrats and their court appointees have given us may be the death of our freedoms. Their constitution adapts to the times and serves the whims of the elitists. The Constitution is supposed to limit government powers. It does not allow government to do anything it feels like doing. Cass Sunstein, the head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, is the author of...

I said yesterday it wouldn’t be long before Obama’s Jokers posters started popping up across the country.First, Claire McCaskill.Now, Nebraskans have Jokerized Ben Nelson. (Or rather, he Jokerized himself, didn’t he?)Reader Tim e-mails the photos and this message:“Saw this in small town Nebraska today less than 50 miles from Ben Nelson’s home town. This is pretty surprising to me because this is strictly an agricultural area. Nelson has consistently catered to the agricultural interests in Nebraska and so is pretty popular among the farmers and ranchers in the area. Federal subsidies are a huge percentage of area farm income. But...
