It turns out you can give thanks for a lot of different folks on the Disney Channel website – but you can’t thank God.

I received a Facebook message on Sunday from Julie Anderson, of Angier, North Carolina, a town located about 30 miles from Raleigh.  Julie was writing to tell me about her daughter, Lilly.

Lilly celebrated her 10^th birthday on Sunday. After church and a delicious lunch at the Golden Corral, the Andersons headed home – and Lilly made a beeline for the computer.   Continue reading “Why did Disney block God?”

With fallout from Ferguson, Missouri, in the spotlight, President Obama announced new action today aimed at boosting accountability of local law enforcement and improving policing policies in minority communities. Here are the top four pieces of the plan:

1. 50,000 Police Body Cameras

Obama will ask Congress for $75 million over three years to subsidize the purchase of up to 50,000 body-worn cameras for local police, according to the White House. The lapel-mounted devices, which record police officers on the job, have won praise from both civil rights advocates and local police union officials who want better documentation of police conduct and that of those they interact with. White House officials believe the cameras would also help improve trust between communities and their police forces. The program is one piece of a $263 million budget request that also includes money for training of law enforcement officers and more resources to reform police departments, administration officials said.   Continue reading “Obama’s 4-Point Plan for Police Post-Ferguson”

RENO, Texas — A Texas hamlet shaken by its first recorded earthquake last year and hundreds since then is among communities now taking steps to challenge the oil and gas industry’s traditional supremacy over the right to frack.

Reno Mayor Lyndamyrth Stokes said spooked residents started calling last November: “I heard a boom, then crack! The whole house shook. What was that?” one caller asked. The U.S. Geological Survey confirmed that Reno, a community about 50 miles west of Dallas, had its first earthquake.   Continue reading “Texas Towns Test Oil and Gas Supremacy on Fracking”

Patriot mythology occurs when an assumption or rumor is publicized, and people accept it as truth without fact checking, because it fits in with their prejudices and pre-conceived notions.

Case in point — the notion that George Soros has bought up munitions companies. This was reported a couple of years ago in a net publication called The International Forecaster, published by Bob Chapman, who died this year. It was reported specifically as a rumor, that Soros had bought Remington and other companies through a holding company.   Continue reading “Cerberus Info: Connecting the Dots”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — President Barack Obama’s executive order to spare some immigrants from deportation has galvanized Democrats, immigration groups and health care advocates in California to push for expanding health coverage to a segment of the population that remains uninsured.

The president’s action excludes immigrants who came to the country illegally from qualifying for federal health benefits. But California has its own policy of providing health coverage with state money to low-income immigrants with so-called “deferred action” that allow them to avoid deportation. Immigrant and health care advocates say that means Obama’s executive order will enable hundreds of thousands of low-income immigrants in California to apply for Medi-Cal, California’s version of Medicaid.   Continue reading “California pushes to expand immigrant health care”

Last week, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved draft legislation to amend the country’s Basic Law to declare that Israel is “the national homeland of the Jewish people” instead of a “Jewish and democratic state,” as it had been since the state’s founding in 1948, he had to tamp down criticism that the law codifies discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel—20 percent of the country’s population.

“There are those who would like the democratic to prevail over the Jewish and there are those who would like the Jewish to prevail over the democratic,” said Netanyahu. “Both of these values are equal and both must be considered to the same degree.”   Continue reading “Israel’s Foreign Minister Wants to Pay Israeli Arabs to Leave”
