“We are not taking over anything,” an exasperated Pentagon spokesman assured reporters this week, in response to rumors that a military exercise planned this summer is actually an excuse to impose martial law on parts of seven Southwestern states. The eight-week exercise by the Army’s Special Operations Command, called Jade Helm 15, is actually aimed at training soldiers to fight in a variety of overseas terrain, but has been the subject of Internet conspiracy theories since it was first announced in March. These theories have been fueled by the release of a map labeling the states that would host the training as either “hostile,” “permissive,” uncertain (leaning hostile)” and “uncertain (leaning friendly).” Continue reading “From zombies to Jade Helm 15, some conspiracy theories just never die”

LAS VEGAS — Hillary Rodham Clinton will say Tuesday that any overhaul of the immigration system must include a way for undocumented immigrants to gain full citizenship.
“The standard for a true solution is nothing less than a full and equal path to citizenship,” Clinton’s campaign said in a preview of remarks she is expected to give during a visit to a largely Hispanic high school here. Continue reading “Clinton to urge ‘full and equal path to citizenship’ for undocumented immigrants”

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — American employees and companies evidently are not as productive at work as they used to be.
U.S. productivity fell by a 1.9% annual pace in the first quarter, resulting in the first back-to-back drop since 2006, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. Over the past four quarters productivity has risen at a scant 0.6% rate, just one-fourth the nation’s average since the end of World War Two.

Twenty-two years ago, three eight year old boys, Steve Branch, Michael Moore, and Chris Byers, were brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. The crimes were almost immediately pinned on three delinquent teenagers, Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, Jr., and Jason Baldwin, soon after dubbed the “West Memphis 3.” Two were convicted to life in prison and one to death row. In 2011, all three were released after accepting a deal allowing them to plea quilty of lesser charges while at the same time maintaining their innocence. This was done instead of a retrial based on new DNA evidence…leaving these horrific murders still unsolved. Why would any state not want to find the real murderers and solve a case such as this? And, why do so many people believe in the innocence of these three teens, including two of the victims’ parents? Continue reading “The West Memphis 3 and the Unsolved Murders of 3 Eight Year Old Boys…Revisited.”

Chicory is a root vegetable not unlike the beet. It became popular as a coffee substitute as early as the 18th century when coffee was scarce during the Napoleonic wars. The root of the chicory plant when roasted, dried and ground, can be blended with coffee or substitute for it entirely. Continue reading “Caffeine in Chicory Coffee”

Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Midway airport, leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.
The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate window.
For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. Continue reading “First Day”

The deadly Ebola virus may be transmitted through sex long after a person has been cured, a major finding that could change how the virus is combated.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigators looked into the case of a Monrovia, Liberia, woman who contracted the disease. The agency identified only one link to Ebola: unprotected sex with an Ebola survivor who was not presenting symptoms. Continue reading “CDC: Woman may have gotten Ebola after sex with survivor”

We now have official confirmation that the rioting in Baltimore on Monday was purposely allowed to spiral out of control. Up until now, there had been some unconfirmed reports that police in Baltimore had been ordered to “stand down” during the riots, but nobody had been willing to come forward and go on the record. Now that has all changed. Michael Lewis is the Sheriff of Wicomico County, Maryland and what he has to say is absolutely jaw dropping. When he saw what was happening in Baltimore, he gathered up some of his fellow officers and drove down to the city to help. But when he got there, he says that all of the police were being ordered not to take any action and to let the rioters destroy property. Lewis made this astounding claim during a discussion on a Baltimore radio station… Continue reading “It’s Official: Police Were Ordered To Stand Down And Let The Baltimore Riots Rage Out Of Control”

The findings are based on emails obtained by James Risen, the New York Times reporter and author who has found himself at the center of a nation-wide debate about free press for refusing to reveal his sources.
