Twelve Palestinians were killed and some 1,100 were wounded by Israeli tear gas, rubber bullets and live fire in the Gaza Strip on Friday, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said, as a series of massive protests along the security fence around the Hamas-controlled enclave intensified and turned violent. Some Palestinian sources put the death toll at 10-12.

The Israel Defense Forces estimated that over 30,000 Palestinians were taking part in Hamas-encouraged “March of Return” demonstrations along the Gaza border, focused at six main protest sites where rioters threw firebombs and stones at troops, tried to bomb and breach the security fence, and burned tires.   Continue reading “12 Gazans said killed, 1,100 hurt in clashes at massive border protest”

Rarely in my lifetime have I seen the type of civic engagement schoolchildren and their supporters demonstrated in Washington and other major cities throughout the country this past Saturday. These demonstrations demand our respect. They reveal the broad public support for legislation to minimize the risk of mass killings of schoolchildren and others in our society.  Continue reading “Treason and Sedition Alert: Repeal the Second Amendment”

At-risk patients, discovered via a saliva test, may be able to avoid dementia if they take a low-dose of the painkiller from middle age for the rest of their lives, they add.

Ibuprofen is thought to dampen inflammation in the brain, which leads to the death of nerve cells and is associated with Alzheimer’s.  Continue reading “Ibuprofen could ‘eliminate’ Alzheimer’s disease”

The state of Utah has legalized a controversial childrearing method called “free-range parenting.”

On Friday, Gov. Gary Herbert signed bill SB65 that would allow kids the freedom to walk to and from school, wait in parked cars (while their parents run errands in a store, for example), and visit playgrounds solo, according to a story published Monday by the Associated Press. The bill, which doesn’t specify an age limit for the above activities, will go into effect May 8.   Continue reading “Controversial ‘free-range parenting’ is now legal in Utah — here’s what that means”

SÃO PAULO—With “jewel-tone eyes,” blond hair and a “smattering of light freckles,” Othello looks nothing like most Brazilians, the majority of whom are black or mixed-race. Yet the “Caucasian” American cashier, described in those terms by the Seattle Sperm Bank and known as Donor 9601, is one of the sperm providers most often requested by wealthy Brazilian women importing the DNA of young U.S. men at unprecedented rates.  Continue reading “Why the Demand for American Sperm Is Skyrocketing in Brazil”

A federal cabinet minister says a directive to Service Canada agents telling them to use gender-neutral language — such as ‘parent’ instead of ‘mother’ or ‘father’ — when speaking to the public was badly worded and will be corrected.

The directive, obtained by Radio Canada, the French-language arm of CBC, instructs Service Canada employees who interact with the public to stay away from terms such as Mr., Mrs., father and mother, and to “use gender-neutral language or gender-inclusive language.”   Continue reading “Service Canada’s gender neutral directive is ‘confusing’ and ‘will be corrected’ says minister”

New Mexico is a battleground in the fight over once public waterways, sparking fears it could set a national precedent

As Scott Carpenter and a few friends paddled down the Pecos river in New Mexico last May, taking advantage of spring run-off, the lead boater yelled out and made a swirling hand motion over his head in the universal signal to pull over to shore. The paddlers eddied out in time to avoid running straight through three strings of barbed wire obstructing the river.   Continue reading “Who owns water?

The gun confiscation crowd couldn’t be happier when they saw their main weapon marching down the streets, chanting about abolishing the second article rights. A bunch of adolescent kids who have never been taught to respect, or for that matter, been properly educated about those rights, how they were conceived, and how many have died to protect those rights; ignorant to how they are being manipulated.

Obviously, one needs to rethink American education, bringing young Americans back to the realities of back to earth God given rights concerning firearms and how they will always be a part of American life, whether they like it or not. Young American don’t dictate American rights to the older adult American Nationals, never going to happen, all they are doing is wasting their youth while trying to redesign those God given rights, hundreds of thousands died for. Many of whom were young kids such as themselves.  Continue reading “School Kids Becoming Gun Confiscation Tools – Rethink Education Process”

One of the smartest things my friend Henry Shivley has done was invent From The Trenches World Report. Everything was thought out, not only a web site that would become a bastion of truth, but also right down to the color of the front page. A pleasant color of brown, not glaring white that many sites incorporate, the brown is easy on the eyes giving the reader an easy reading experience. Something that was probably one of the most interesting and maybe even a first when compared to many sites who struggle for readers.

From The Trenches has turned into a site that now enjoys hundreds of thousands of readers a month, most of whom understand and expect much more from our so-called leaders who reside inside the American National owned White House, inside the District of Columbia. The home of the American Bill of Rights.   Continue reading “From The Trenches World Report More Mainstream than Ever”
