There is a growing disconnect between the American people and government whose lying statistics proclaim a recovery while 92 million remain out of work; the Middle Class is disappearing; students are overburdened with debt and the top 0.1% control 90% of the wealth. As times get harder and they will, Americans are demanding the truth. Why waste trillions bombing other countries where the enemy (Al Qaeda and Islamic State) are known CIA creations.   Continue reading “Exposing the Greatest Conspiracy of Modern Times”

WASHINGTON — A bid by oil export advocates to tether the trade issue to a federal highway bill has hit a dead end.

Oil producers and their allies in Congress had hoped to use the highway bill as a vehicle for unrelated provisions lifting the 40-year-old ban on U.S. crude exports.   Continue reading “End of the road for oil exports on highway bill”

Militant students stormed the compound and took 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.   Continue reading “Iran Ayatollah: ‘Death to America’ refers to US policies”

HOUSTON – Voters have said a resounding no to Houston’s controversial equal rights ordinance.

Prop 1, nicknamed HERO, failed by a margin of 62-percent to 38-percent.

Opponents of the issue branded it “the bathroom ordinance,” playing up the argument that it would allow sexual predators dressed as women to use women’s restrooms. A television ad featured a little girl being cornered by a man in a restroom.   Continue reading “Voters reject Houston Equal Rights Ordinance”

Opening arguments are expected to begin on Tuesday in the murder trial of a Pennsylvania police officer who shot and killed a suspect last February as he lay face down in the snow, immobilized by a Taser charge.

The shooting death of David Kassick, 59, by Officer Lisa Mearkle, 37, was captured on the video camera in her Taser, police say.

It might be the world’s most expensive gas station — not to mention a gross misuse of taxpayer money, according to a top government watchdog.

The Department of Defense spent $43 million to build a gas station in Afghanistan that should have cost roughly $500,000, the lead oversight team monitoring U.S. spending in Afghanistan has found. The discovery came as part of a broader investigation into allegations of criminal activity within the DOD’s premiere program to kick-start the Afghan economy.    Continue reading “‘Colossal waste’: DOD slammed for $43M, US-funded gas station in Afghanistan”

On Monday, President Obama is announcing a new order to reduce potential discrimination against former convicts in the hiring process for federal government employees.

It is a step towards what many criminal justice reformers call “ban the box” – the effort to eliminate requirements that job applicants check a box on their applications if they have a criminal record. While the rule was once seen as a common sense way for employers to screen for criminal backgrounds, it has been increasingly criticized as a hurdle that fosters employment discrimination against former inmates, regardless of the severity of their offense or how long ago it occurred. Banning the box delays when employers learn of an applicant’s record.   Continue reading “Obama Bans Hiring Bias Against Ex-Cons Seeking Federal Jobs”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Almost a third of 6,000 federal prisoners scheduled to be freed between Friday and Tuesday, part of a push to reduce America’s soaring incarceration rate, will immediately be turned over to U.S. immigration authorities for deportation proceedings.

While this weekend will be a happy occasion for the thousands of inmates who are U.S. citizens and will reunite with their families, many of the roughly 1,780 foreign inmates to be put on the deportation track will leave family members behind in the United States.   Continue reading “Mass release of U.S. prisoners spells deportation for hundreds”

Don’t fall for this twisted linguistic PsyOp.  Any writing, blogging, websites, social media, etc., that uses “migrant” has been co-opted (whether innocently or purposely) by the tribe.

Look at the definitions!

John Killen, a long time patriot. And his family are being attacked by the Kentucky CPS via Florida CPS. Florida has asked Kentucky to look into the matter. In other words, a fishing expedition involving 3 children, ages 3.5, and who are Mr. Killen’s grandchildren.

An anonymous call to CPS stating the children were playing in the yard and one was dirty is what started this situation. (Did you get dirty as a child playing??? Of course you did.)   Continue reading “Alert Alert Alert”
