The Obama administration decision to release over $100 billion in sanctions relief as part of the Iran nuclear deal is being challenged by a group of American victims of Iranian terror, who have more than a billion dollars in court judgments against the Islamic regime.

The US has promised to unfreeze funds largely held in overseas bank accounts back to the Central Bank of Iran (CBI). However, the families are enjoining against the sanctions relief, arguing that unfreezing the funds will prevent them from ever being able to collect on the judgments in their cases against Iran.   Continue reading “Terror Victims Sue to Block Iran Sanction Lifting”

The U.N. Security Council on Friday unanimously passed a resolution asking U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and the head of the global anti-chemical weapons watchdog to prepare a plan to set up an inquiry to identify those behind chemical weapons attacks in Syria’s civil war.

Attributing responsibility for poison gas attacks in Syria’s four-year conflict could pave the way for action by the 15-member Security Council. The body has already threatened consequences for such attacks, which could include sanctions.   Continue reading “U.N. council urges inquiry to identify those behind Syria gas attacks”

Washington, D.C. – Updating America’s behemoth nuclear arsenal could cost nearly one trillion dollars, according to a new report from independent researchers at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Though previous Pentagon assessments claimed that updating the United States’ nuclear weapons could cost $270 billion, the price now appears to be much higher. This week’s daunting projections coincide with the 70th anniversary of the United States deadly detonation of two atomic bombs over Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.   Continue reading “United States to Spend Nearly $1 Trillion Updating Nuclear Arsenal”

GOP Presidential hopefuls expressed plenty of distaste for the Iran nuclear deal during last night’s debate, but it was the voice of a Democrat that mattered most on Thursday evening as Chuck Schumer, the influential Jewish Senator from New York, came out in opposition to the accord.

As Congress heads into the summer recess, President Obama made one last push to secure support for the deal, delivering a fiery speech on Wednesday and warning of dire consequences if the agreement isn’t secured.   Continue reading “In Blow To Obama’s Iran Deal Hopes, Key Democrat Defects”

Authorities said Thursday they are investigating whether a group of armed bounty hunters who mistakenly swarmed the Phoenix police chief’s home were the victims of a prank.

It will take time to probe the social media tip that led 11 people to believe a fugitive was hiding in Chief Joe Yahner’s house, Phoenix police spokesman Trent Crump said. The police are waiting to serve subpoenas, and the investigation could take weeks, Crump said.   Continue reading “Phoenix Police Not Saying If Raid of Chief’s Home Was a Hoax”

The world was stunned to learn that India has now tested nuclear weapons. For many years, all nations have been concerned about the proliferation of atomic explosives. Even in their distress, no one seems to be interested in the historic or the psychological record of why these weapons were developed, and what special breed of mankind devoted themselves to this diabolical goal.   Continue reading “The Secret History Of The Atomic Bomb – Why Hiroshima Was Destroyed”

A Senate committee voted Wednesday to block implementation of the administration’s climate rule for power plants.

The bill passed by voice vote at a hastily organized meeting of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee just across the hall from the Senate chamber in the Capitol, because the panel’s 11 Republicans wanted to pass the bill before August recess starts later Wednesday.   Continue reading “Senate panel votes to block Obama’s climate rule”

When Alfred Baria, 61, allegedly drove past soldiers at Camp Shelby on Wednesday afternoon and “made his truck backfire,” he had what looked like a pipe bomb in the floor of his truck.

That’s after gunshots were reported two days in a row just outside of the training base on Peret Tower Road and Highway 29.

Soldiers reported to authorities on both Tuesday and Wednesday that a maroon truck had driven by and it sounded like shots had been fired at them as they manned a traffic checkpoint in place to let the public know about the training exercise going on at Camp Shelby.   Continue reading “Suspect facing multiple charges related to Camp Shelby shooting”

Jesse Benton, a longtime ally of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) who is heading up a super PAC supporting his presidential campaign, was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday on charges that he concealed payments to a former Iowa state senator during the 2012 presidential campaign in order to win his support.

The indictment marks a new complication for Paul, whose political future is on the line in 2016.

I’ve written about dumping Microsoft before – and I stand by those comments – but the newest outrage from Redmond forces me to it again. I don’t care how “inconvenient” you think it may be, you have to stop enriching Microsoft. NOW.

Yes, I have serious issues with Apple too, but at least Wozniak and Jobs started out as real hackers. Gates was a political monopolist, and it still shows.   Continue reading “Why You Must Dump Microsoft NOW”

Just as Space X rockets may be taking off from the beaches at Boca Chica near Brownsville, natural gas exports to Mexico look to also sky rocket in the coming years. Due to changes in Mexican law in 2013 opening the electricity market to private investment, billions of dollars in contracts have been let to build power plants, electrical distribution facilities and natural gas pipelines. In turn U.S. pipeline companies and gas producers have moved to capture the lion’s share of that market. Given the fact that Texas and Gulf Coast producers have been rapidly losing their old Northeast and Midwest markets to Marcellus producers this has proven to be a timely and vital new market. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) estimates that natural gas exports to Mexico were 3% of production in April 2015 and are expected to grow to 5% by 2030. While not nearly as important as the domestic power sector to U.S. producers nonetheless it represents a good piece of business.   Continue reading “U.S. Natural Gas Exports to Mexico Taking Off”
