Russian leaders are sending mixed messages about their take on the United States’ airstrikes in Syria. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov insisted to Secretary of State John Kerry that the United States must respect Syria’s sovereignty after President Barack Obama announced the United States would conduct airstrikes against the Islamic State. Yet, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia may join the fight against the jihadist group. Continue reading “Russia Considers Joining the Fight Against ISIS”
Yea right, I’m sure they were. (rolling my eyes) OMG! ENOUGH WITH THE WAR RHETORIC ALREADY!!!
Washington (AFP) – A US-led air attack against jihadists in Syria targeted Al-Qaeda’s Khorasan group because it was on the verge of carrying out “major attacks” against the West, the US military said Tuesday.
The Americans pounded Khorasan targets in Syria with Tomahawk cruise missiles to counter the mounting threat posed by the group, said Lieutenant General William Mayville, director of operations for the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. Continue reading “Khorasan group was planning ‘major’ attacks: US”

Schools near the Port of Los Angeles may be closed on Tuesday due to a huge wharf fire that started Monday night, according to the Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles Fire Capt. Jaime Moore explained that fire officials had to wait until the sun came up Tuesday morning and see the extent of the smoke, which contains liquid cresote, before they could make a determination vis-à-vis the schools.
The creosote in the smoke comes from Pre-World War II lumber pylons that had been soaked in creosote, according to Moore. He added that the pylons, which were still burning, were contributing to “stubborn” conditions for firefighters, and stated, “It’s a very, very stubborn and low-burning fire.” Continue reading “Overnight Fire at Port of L.A.”
Funny how it almost coincides with the timing of ISIS and Australia’s fear-mongering campaign.
HOUSTON, Texas — Members of the Sinaloa Federation, one of the most powerful and dangerous cartels from Mexico, have reportedly set up shop in Australia. A lucrative drug market has been growing in Australia during recent years, and Sinaloa members have been taking advantage of it by selling large amounts of hard narcotics like cocaine and heroin.

Director of the Office of Immigrant Affairs, Linda Lopez, tells illegal immigrants in Los Angeles, “You don’t have to fear. We’re here to help you.”
The Los Angeles Times reported on Monday that Mayor Eric Garcetti appointed the 44-year-old bureaucrat with a Doctorate in Political Science from USC to help him overhaul the nation’s immigration laws. So far she has at least one feather in her cap for leading the charge to prevent the practice of holding illegal immigrant inmates after their date of release so federal agents could take them into custody.

The U.S. launched eight airstrikes Monday night against a little-known, al-Qaida-affiliated militant group in Syria.
The United States Central Command said Tuesday morning that American forces hit the Khorasan Group near Aleppo to stop “imminent attack-planning against the United States and Western interests.” At a Pentagon press briefing shortly after, defense officials explained just how imminent such an attack may have been. Continue reading “U.S. forces launched air strikes against the little-known Khorasan Group Monday night.”
These days, everywhere we go, we are plagued with regulations upon regulations that we can’t even walk out of the house without someone calling up or coming by like little nannies and telling us what to do, how to be “safe” or what is “politically correct”. Whether it would be telling us what kind of color we can have on our house, how to “safely” ride a bicycle by wearing a helmet or whether we can wear a shirt with an American flag on it during a Mexican holiday, we are being bombarded by power-hungry corporations and government officials who seek to create laws to fine and own every aspect of our lives.
Well recently, after having worked for 6 years at a movie theater about a decade ago, I just got offered a job to work at a theater again to try and do something to put food on the table, since there are barely any damn jobs left out there, due to the economic situation. Unfortunately, some corporate cronies told our government some years ago, that a person working in any business that handles food in any manner (fast food places, grocery stores, etc), has to take a corporate food safety certification course (aka the Common Core Food Handling course) before they can even start working at that job (something I, nor anyone, EVER had to do years ago, as it would have been looked upon as INSANE when I first worked at the theater or any food place back then).

FALFURRIAS, Texas — U.S. Border Patrol agents in Texas found the skull of a person believed to have been an illegal immigrant. The skull was found west of the town of Falfurrias, Texas on a ranch off of U.S. Highway 285. This is the fifty-third person found deceased in the ranches of this county located eighty to one hundred miles from the Mexican border.
The skull was found on Sunday morning by Border Patrol agents who were investigating a pile of debris left behind by illegal immigrants who had been moving through the rancher’s land. The agents contacted the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office who initiated a body recovery operation. At this time, no identification of the deceased has been made and an autopsy will be performed to attempt to find any information to establish the identity.

FALFURRIAS, Texas—Troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) are beginning a law enforcement surge operation around Falfurrias in Brooks County. The operation is being executed to deter human smuggling and drug trafficking along the two major highways leading to the Border Patrol’s Falfurrias Checkpoint.
Troopers were seen in much larger than normal numbers working the highways around Brooks County last week. A trooper recently told this writer a surge operation was about to begin in Brooks County to try and deter the human smugglers from dropping off their cargo. It is not known at this time, how many troopers will be involved in this surge, nor how long the surge operation will continue. Officials of the DPS were unable to confirm any of this information at this time. Continue reading “Texas DPS Begins Surge Near Falfurrias to Battle Drugs and Human Smuggling”

On Monday, Vice President Joe Biden promised that President Barack Obama would “do an awful lot” for illegal immigrants with executive actions toward amnesty. He said if Republicans don’t “see the lord” on immigration after the midterm elections, then they will feel some “lightning.”
According to pool reports, Biden spoke at a Hispanic Heritage Month reception at his residence and reportedly called up a student who had received temporary amnesty due to Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Biden then said that Obama is going to enact executive amnesty before the end of the year if Congress does not pass comprehensive immigration reform, “and he’s going to do an awful lot.” He said Obama has a chance to change the country “in a way like we haven’t had for a long, long time.” Continue reading “Biden Promises Obama Will Strike GOP with ‘Lightning’ via Executive Amnesty”
While the U.S. government acknowledges that there is still a lot to do about the crisis of Central American children entering the country, experts and activists believe that sooner rather than later a new wave of unaccompanied youngsters will arrive at the border with Mexico. ” The situation in Central America hasn’t changed, we have the same problems of insecurity and violence, the lack of governability continues and jobs are still a problem – there is no work for young people who are members of cartels or street gangs,” the director of the Americas Program of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Carl Meacham, told Efe on Thursday.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake plans to unveil dozens of recommendations Wednesday intended to lure immigrant families to Baltimore and retain them.
The proposals, from increasing the availability of translators at city agencies to making it easier for the undocumented to buy homes, offer insight into the mayor’s pledge to attract 10,000 new families over the next decade — an effort that is focused in part on the city’s burgeoning immigrant neighborhoods.
