ATLANTA (Reuters) – An American doctor stricken with the deadly Ebola virus while in Liberia and brought to the United States for treatment in a special isolation ward is improving, the top U.S. health official said on Sunday.

On Friday, Los Angeles City Council members asked federal lawmakers to oppose changing an existing law which would make it easier to deport illegal immigrants.
Federal lawmakers are considering a change in a 2008 law that would grant authorities the right to deport illegal immigrants within 48 hours of being detained. According to the Los Angeles Times, the law as it now stands guarantees that young immigrants from Central American countries receive a hearing before an immigration judge and guarantees due process.
Councilman Gil Cedillo said in a news conference at MacArthur park, a gathering place for Central American immigrants, that Los Angeles needs “to distinguish our city… from other cities, like Murrieta.” The councilman is referring to the July protestation of hundreds of Murrieta residents who rejected the busloads of illegal immigrants sent by federal authorities to relocate in their rural Riverside County community.

On Friday evening, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) charged at Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA) on the House floor and interrupted his floor speech after Marino accused her of ignoring the border crisis. She then chased after him again when he finished his speech.
Pelosi was seen multiple times on the C-SPAN cameras pointing her finger at Merino, who actually addressed her after the first interruption. According to Merino, Pelosi even called him an “insignificant person.”
After Marino said the country does not have “law and order” and his “colleagues on the other side don’t want to do anything about it,” he blasted House Democrats, like Pelosi, who failed to address the crisis while they were in power.

Fear of infection with the Ebola virus is becoming as contagious as the virus itself, with mainstream media outlets like CNN reporting, ‘Ebola outbreak could have ‘catastrophic’ consequences.’
Given the prevailing mortality statistics, perhaps the fear is, at least partially, justified, with the most virulent form of the virus – the Zaire Ebola virus – observed to have a fatality rate of about 83%,[1] and with no officially recognized conventional or natural therapy found capable of mitigating morbidity and mortality associated with infection from it.

This is a call for an immediate, thorough, and independent investigation of Tulane University researchers and their Fort Detrick associates in the US biowarfare research community, who have been operating in West Africa during the past several years.
What exactly have they been doing?
Exactly what diagnostic tests have they been performing on citizens of Sierra Leone?
Why do we have reports that the government of Sierra Leone has recently told Tulane researchers to stop this testing? Continue reading “What are US biowar researchers doing in the Ebola zone?”
Water at a Toledo, Ohio, treatment plant has tested positive for a toxin, and nearly 500,000 Ohio residents have been told not drink the tap water, leading the governor to declare a state of emergency Saturday in three counties, state officials told the Los Angeles Times.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich declared a state of emergency for residents of Lucas, Wood and Fulton counties early Saturday after two water samples from a Toledo water treatment plant tested positive for microcystin, a toxin possibly caused by an algae bloom in Lake Erie.

PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) – Border Patrol Agents are the men on the front lines having to deal with the children coming across our southern border.
One of their biggest concerns is the diseases that kids could bring with them. The agents have to check the immigrants for diseases, and if they have them, they could potentially get sick and bring the illness home to their families.
According to Shawn Moran, the vice president and spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council, scabies and lice are the two main infestations that his agents come across. He adds that chicken pox, measles, H1N1 and tuberculosis are also pretty common. Really, he says they see a whole gamete of diseases and that’s what his men are most concerned with.

11.4 million Americans age 16 and over have left the workforce since President Obama took office in January 2009, according to data released today from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
In July 2014, there were 92,001,000 Americans, 16 and over, who were classified as “not in the labor force,” meaning they not only did not have a job, but they didn’t actively seek one in the last four weeks.
This number has increased by 11,472,000 since January 2009, when the number of Americans not in the labor force was 80,529,000.

McALLEN, Texas – A Mexican drug trafficker who assaulted a U.S. Border Patrol agent and sent him to the emergency room got his assault charges dismissed in exchange for pleading guilty to drug trafficking charges.
Earlier this week Miguel Angel Andrade went before U.S. District Judge Micaela Alvarez where he pleaded guilty to driving a vehicle loaded with more than 1,000 pounds of marijuana when he was arrested in the area known as La Rosita, Texas.

HOUSTON, Texas–As unaccompanied minors continue to illegally cross the Texas-Mexico border, President Obama’s Health and Human Services (HHS) has been quietly releasing them onto U.S. soil. A total of 30,340 unaccompanied minors have already been released from federal custody and placed into foster homes, according to HHS’ Office of Refugee and Resettlement (ORR). While many migrants have been released in border states like Texas and California, others have been set free in Alaska. Continue reading “Feds Fly Unaccompanied Minors to Alaska”
HOUSTON, Texas–Junior Anzaldua was raised on a plot of land owned by his family on the U.S.-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley Sector. Illegal immigrants regularly pass through the brush-covered rural property after swimming across the Rio Grande River. While taking Breitbart Texas on a tour of the land, Anzaldua claimed that his family no longer lives there because the increasing flow of migrants has made it too dangerous.
“You can hear people talking [here]. You can hear people yelling,” he told Breitbart Texas, referring to the illegal immigrants who pass through. Continue reading “Border Resident: I Can Hear Illegals ‘Talking’ and ‘Yelling’ on My Property”

REYNOSA, Tamaulipas – Hastily painted graffiti in Spanish over the sidewalk at an international bridge serves as a dire warning to those travelling to and from Mexico.
The five letters spray painted in Spanish “Yo CDG” on the concrete serve as a reminder to readers that they are in Gulf Cartel territory, the same territory that for two weeks has been subjected to almost daily firefights as various factions of the cartel fight for control of the areas just south of the Texas border. As the organization’s leadership has weakened, the criminal organization has polarized into rival regional factions with some harsh rivalries and grudges, a Tamaulipas law enforcement official who asked for his name to be kept confidential citing security reasons. A memo leaked to Breitbart Texas by Mexican authorities that appears to be from the Gulf Cartel states that there is an “internal cleanup” within the criminal group and that things will be hectic in the coming days.

Over a year ago I published an essay entitled ‘The Linchpin Lie: How Global Collapse Will Be Sold To The Masses’. This essay addressed efforts by the ever malicious Rand Corporation to create a false narrative surrounding the possibility of global collapse. Linchpin Theory, as it was named by it’s originator and Rand Corp. employee, John Casti, is I believe the very future of propaganda.

Brooks County, Texas (CBS HOUSTON) – Law enforcement officers from several Texas counties have banded together to form a “Border Brotherhood” who volunteer without pay to help enforce U.S. border laws in counties where there are too few deputies to regulate the ongoing flow of illegal immigrants crossing over from Mexico.
Chasing immigrants and human traffickers on foot and in high-speed pursuits, Chief Daniel Walden has helped form what he calls the “Border Brotherhood” to assist law enforcement officers in Brooks County — 80 miles from his own school district in Donna, Texas – to help curb human smuggling and illegal immigration, KENS-TV reports.
