Story Leak – by Mikael Thalen 

Parents of a sixth grade student at the Milam Elementary School in Tupelo, Mississippi were shocked when their daughter brought home a political beliefs worksheet that teachers asked students to fill out.

The in-class assignment entitled “Are you a Democrat or Republican?” was posted to the “Stop Common Core in Mississippi” Facebook page with a message alleging that the young female student was told not to talk about or take the assignment outside of class, although some refuted the claim.   Continue reading “Sixth Graders Polled On Gay Marriage, Abortion And Gun Control”

The “secession movement” is currently picking up steam in two unlikely states: Colorado and Maryland. Groups of residents in both states cite leftist agendas and high taxes as reasons for wanting to become independent.

On Friday night, a group called Western Maryland: A New State Initiative met to discuss the secession of Western Maryland. They say their mission is “to form a new state comprised of Maryland’s five western counties.”   Continue reading “Secession Movement Growing In Two Surprising States”

JFK head shot angle from Limo driverEducate Yourself

[Editor’s Note: You can see from the description given below by Dr. Robert McClelland of JFK’s massive exit wound located in the back and on the right side of JFK’s skull, that this exit wound could only be created when a projectile enters from the front and exits from the right rear IF the shooter was located in front of Kennedy and somewhat to his left. That angle of entry and exist can only be created if the head shot came from Secret Service Limo driver William Greer’s gun and not from the Grassy Knoll. The Grassy Knoll is located at least 45 or more degrees to Kennedy’s right. If the fatal head shot had come from the Grassy Knoll, it may have entered the right front, BUT it would have to exit from the left rear.   Continue reading “Surgeon in Parkland ER Insists Fatal JFK Head Shot Came From the Front”

National Review – by Andrew C. McCarthy

Fraud can be so brazen it takes people’s breath away. But for a prosecutor tasked with proving a swindle — or what federal law describes as a “scheme to defraud” — the crucial thing is not so much the fraud. It is the scheme.

To be sure, it is the fraud — the individual false statements, sneaky omissions, and deceptive practices — that grabs our attention. As I’ve recounted in this space, President Obama repeatedly and emphatically vowed, “If you like your health-insurance plan, you can keep your health-insurance plan, period.” The incontrovertible record — disclosures by the Obama administration in the Federal Register, representations by the Obama Justice Department in federal court — proves that Obama’s promises were systematically deceitful.

For the past few weeks, all I have heard discussed at length with any semblance of passion is our embarrassing defeat at the hands of Lucif — ahem, Nick Saban and his Alabama Crimson Tide. Students are acting as though the world has ended.

When there are quite literally thousands of horrible things happening on the planet at this moment, it is incredible that people pay attention to, much less attend, football games. Not to bash football or our Athletic Department, which, by the way, actually gives money back to the University.   Continue reading “Opinion: Students are worried about the wrong things”

Washington Post – by Paul Kane

The partisan battles that have paralyzed Washington in recent years took a historic turn Thursday, as Senate Democrats eliminated filibusters for most presidential nominations, severely curtailing the political leverage of the Republican minority in the Senate and assuring an escalation of partisan warfare.

Saying that “enough is enough,” President Obama welcomed the end of what he called the abuse of the Senate’s advise and consent function, which he said had turned into “a reckless and relentless tool” to grind the gears of government to a halt.   Continue reading “Reid, Democrats trigger ‘nuclear’ option; eliminate most filibusters on nominees”

WASHINGTON — In September, Rep. Trey Radel voted for Republican legislation that would allow states to make food stamp recipients pee in cups to prove they’re not on drugs. In October, police busted the Florida Republican on a charge of cocaine possession.
