They believe human actions are changing the environment. They believe we need to take urgent action to save the planet for future generations. So why do so many chemtrail conspiracy theorists think climate change is a big hoax?

For weeks, attacks on teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg have been the most popular posts on the most popular Facebook page for the chemtrail conspiracy theory. At nearly 183,000 members, the page is a stronghold for people who believe the government or other agencies are spraying chemicals out of planes for nefarious purposes (perhaps mind control, perhaps weather control, depending on which believer you ask). And as Thunberg and American school children rally for climate action, they’re becoming a favorite target of the conspiracy crowd.  Continue reading “Chemtrail Truthers Are Coming After Greta Thunberg”

AVENTURA, Fla. (AP) — When David Schaecter was a child in Slovakia in the 1930s, he counted more than 100 people in his extended family. By the end of World War II, he alone survived. The rest had been killed in Nazi concentration camps or by roving SS death squads.

Schaecter lost not only his family, but all they owned, including life insurance covering his murdered relatives. And as time runs out on aging Holocaust survivors, some are trying to recover insurance policies that were not honored by Nazi-era companies, which could be worth at least $25 billion altogether in today’s dollars, according to the Holocaust Survivors’ Foundation USA.  Continue reading “Aging Holocaust survivors try to sue over Nazi-era insurance”

HOUSTON (AP) — A Jewish death row inmate who was part of the “Texas 7” gang of escaped prisoners and faced execution in less than a week won a reprieve on Friday after claiming the former judge at his trial was anti-Semitic and frequently used racial slurs.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted a stay of execution for Randy Halprin, who had been scheduled to receive a lethal injection on Oct. 10. The appeals court ordered Halprin’s case be sent back to the Dallas County court that convicted him, so it can review his claims that his trial judge was biased against him because he is Jewish.

As she cleans up the counter where the teenagers at her church’s Vacation Bible School ate their cookies and yoghurt, Luba Yanko complains about the state of the country. President Donald Trump is trying to act on Christian values, she believes. But from what she reads online, it seems that a certain group keeps getting in the way.

Trump, she says, “is surrounded by a Zionist environment with completely different values from Christians. It’s kabbalist. It’s Talmudic values. Not the word of God.”  Continue reading “Antisemitic beliefs spreading among evangelical Christians in America”

Trump took the stage and soaked in the raucous cheers from hundreds of young supporters packed inside the Marriott Marquis in Washington.  Continue reading “How did Trump end up in front of a presidential seal doctored to include a Russian symbol?”

So, I did it this morning. About a month ago, I begrudgingly filled out my PA renewal application for my gun “permit” and before the 45 days was up, I took the 18 mile drive to take care of the miserable, infuriating business of picking it up at the Montgomery County Court House.

Norristown, where it is located, is a steaming shit hole and they claim you can check your firearm into a lockbox upon entering, but my previous experience has been less than cordial in exercising my Rights and submitting to their abuses at the security post. In the past, this action has resulted in my having to explain to them their own policies and THE LAW It is EXTREMELY dangerous and I am in no mood for their brand of stupid before work today. I therefore am forced to travel through their ghetto unarmed with my firearms locked in my car.  Continue reading “Being Serviced by my Public Servant… Ouch.”
