President Obama’s recent immigration orders encourage transnational cartels to bring their violent activities closer to the border and even into the country, a group of sheriffs told reporters and lawmakers at the Capitol Wednesday.

“It’s on the border now and it’s spreading into Texas and across the nation,” A.J.Louderback, sheriff of Jackson County, Texas, told National Review Online after a press conference in which he described a four-hour gun battle involving cartels just across the border on Sunday that left at least 50 people dead.   Continue reading “Sheriff Warns of Violent Cartels: ‘They’re Coming’”

MCALLEN, Texas — The capture of three top Mexican drug cartel bosses on the U.S. side of the Texas border helps to illustrate the irony of how even narco’s seek refuge from the violence in Mexico.

The recent arrest of Jesus Francisco “Comandante Paquito or Comandante 77” Martinez Ramirez marks the third top ranking leader of the Gulf Cartel to be arrested in Texas since October. A similar exodus of drug lords took place  in October 2011 during a period of heavy infighting within the Gulf Cartel when four top commanders fled to Texas illegally to avoid a certain death at the hand of their rivals.   Continue reading “Cartel Bosses Run Mexican Empires from Safe Houses in Texas”

Gee…I wish I can be allowed to say, ‘Merry Christmas’ at my job in Texas. I can’t believe they had to pass a law in order to allow them to celebrate it without fear of persecution or censorship. What is this world coming to….

For those who know about the history of geoengineering – aka chemtrails – you might be noticing a spate of admissions from the halls of establishment science and government that the “conspiracy theory” is no longer … it is a fact.

Perhaps the efforts of independent researchers have forced such open disclosure, at least putting us over the hurdle of abject denial. However, the narrative being created for mainstream media consumption is disingenuous at best, and full-throttle manipulation at worst. Case in point is an admission from The Royal Society that geoengineering experiments are being debated for full rollout even in the absence of policy restrictions.   Continue reading “Elite Think Tank Admits to Ongoing Climate Engineering Experiments”

HOUSTON, Texas — A crackdown by Mexican immigration officials along the nation’s southern border appears to have yielded major results before the U.S. 2014 midterm elections.

Amid the U.S. border crisis of summer 2014, Mexico implemented an initiative along its southern border to intercept the routes of migrants making their way to Southern Texas. So far, the effort has helped curb the flow of illegal immigrants attempting to enter U.S. illegally.     Continue reading “Mexico Stopped Flow of Undocumented Minors Prior to US Elections”

You might not see leaves as hazards, but train operators would beg to differ — foilage on the tracks not only makes it harder for trains to stop, but messes with anti-collision signals. The greenery might not be much of a danger for much longer, however. Dutch Railways is testing a laser system that zaps leaves (and other organic material) before it reaches the wheels, keeping the tracks clean. You can already use water jets and sand gels to do this, but they have limited supplies and sometimes damage the rails. The lasers run so long as the train has power, and they actually help the metal by drying it and preventing leaves from sticking.   Continue reading “Dutch trains get lasers to zap track debris”

President Obama insisted Tuesday that his successor won’t take the political risk that would come with reversing his recent executive action on immigration reform.

Speaking at a town-hall meeting in Nashville, the president said it’s “theoretically” possible that the next administration could undo the amnesty Mr. Obama has granted to more than 4 million illegal immigrants, but he assured a crowd of undocumented Americans that such a step it is extremely unlikely.

The Iowa Department of Transportation said it plans to pilot a smartphone driver’s license program that could one day make plastic licenses a thing of the past.

“It’s really moving beyond a static thing,” said Mark Lowe, director of the Iowa Department of Transportation Motor Vehicles Division, in an interview with The Washington Post.

The concept is to not only host the license in an app, but to also be able to send push notifications about, say, traffic, or if a user’s license is about to expire, Lowe said. He said he is “not aware” of any other state that has a similar program.   Continue reading “Iowa’s going to have smartphone driver’s licenses”

And will they get rid of Obamacare? No absolutely not.

Washington Examiner – by Philip Klein

On Dec. 24, 2009, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed President Obama’s healthcare law with a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority, triggering a massive backlash that propelled Republicans to control of the House the following year. On the Senate side, going into this year’s midterm elections, 25 senators who voted for Obamacare were already out or not going be part of the new Senate being sworn in next month. After Democratic losses on Nov. 4 and Saturday’s defeat of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., the number has risen to 30. In other words, half of the Senators who voted for Obamacare will not be part of the new Senate.   Continue reading “Half of the Senators who voted for Obamacare won’t be part of new Senate”
