ROCKPORT, Texas—Texas Governor Rick Perry’s decision to activate the Texas National Guard and deploy them along a relatively small sector of the Texas-Mexico border has brought criticism from one border county’s sheriff’s office and praise from another. While some leaders along the border appear to be concerned about a “militarization” of the border region, others see it as an opportunity to stop the senseless deaths that have been occurring South Texas.

At least one sheriff questioned the wisdom of Perry’s decision to send military people into the area who are not authorized to stop anyone, according to the Dallas Morning News article by Christy Hoppe. “I don’t know what good they can do,” Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio said of military personnel. “You just can’t come out here and be a police officer.”   Continue reading “Perry’s National Guard Deployment Order Sparks Debate Between Border Area Sheriffs”

HOUSTON, Texas–Allegations of corruption, drug use, abuse, and rape could soon put the North Texas Job Corps Center (NTJCC) in McKinney at the center of controversy. Several former employees at the center have come forward, telling Breitbart Texas about the alleged horrors they witnessed firsthand during their time at the government-funded training program for troubled youths.

Job Corps is a federally-funded program, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), that gives at-risk individuals aged 16-24 technical training and academic training. NTJCC provides each of its students with a bi-monthly cash “allowance” and additionally provides housing for 600 students.   Continue reading “Government-Funded Youth Program Allegedly Ridden with Corruption, Rape, Drug Abuse”

On Tuesday FiveThirtyEight released the results of a poll of Americans’ opinions on the “Star Wars” universe. Not surprisingly, Jar Jar Binks is the most reviled character in the series. As Walt Hickey notes, the Gungan from Naboo posted lower favorability numbers than Emperor Palpatine, “the actual personification of evil in the galaxy.”On the other hand, with a net favorability of -8, Jar Jar is considerably more popular than the U.S. Congress, which currently enjoys a net favorability rating of -65. In fact, the last time congressional net favorability was above that was February 2005. Incidentally this was just before the release date of “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith,” which marked Jar Jar’s last appearance on the big screen.

The tense situation between Ukraine and the United States is outlined in a paper released earlier this month by the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS). A week prior to the downing of Malaysian flight 17, the institute warned that the West “refuses to adhere to the principles and norms of international law and the rules and spirit of the existing system of international relations.”

Much like the United States Army War College Strategic Studies Institute, RISS provides “…information support to the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, the Federation Council, the State Duma and the Security Council as well as to Government offices, ministries and departments”.       Continue reading “Russian Institute for Strategic Studies: NATO Is Attempting to “Revolutionize The Current World Order””

East And West - Public DomainEconomic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

In general, over the last several decades the world has experienced an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity.  The opening up of relations with China and the “end of the Cold War” resulted in an extended period of cooperation between east and west that was truly unique in the annals of history.  But now things are shifting.  The civil war in Ukraine and the crash of MH17 have created an enormous amount of tension between the United States and Russia, and many analysts believe that relations between the two superpowers are now even worse than they were during the end of the Cold War era.  In addition, the indictment of five PLA officers for cyber espionage and sharp disagreements over China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea (among other issues) have caused U.S. relations with China to dip to their lowest point since at least 1989.  So could the emerging division between the east and the west ultimately plunge us into a period of global chaos?  And what would that mean for the world economy?   Continue reading “New World Disorder: Emerging Division Between East And West Threatens To Plunge The Globe Into Chaos”

HOUSTON, Texas–The feds are currently loading thousands of illegal immigrants onto planes–many of which are commercial aircrafts–and sending them to cities across the U.S. This transportation practice has raised significant health-related concerns, amid revelations that many of the migrants are never medically screened prior to being sent to various U.S. locations.

Ramiro Cordero, a Border Patrol spokesman in El Paso, told Breitbart Texas that instead of administering thorough medical checks, “we ask a series of verbal questions. We talk to the people to determine if we need to take them for further medical care. We’re not medical providers.”    Continue reading “Doctor: Illegal Immigrants Traveling on Commercial Flights Pose Public Health Threat”

LAREDO, Texas–Human smugglers and drug traffickers have been using drainage pipes as makeshift tunnels that lead from the banks of the Rio Grande River into the streets of Laredo, Texas. The traffickers often evade arrest or capture by simply hiding in the tunnels. Border Patrol agents claim that their agency forbids them from following traffickers or illegal aliens into the subterranean criminal safe havens.   Continue reading “Border Drains Provide Narco Sanctuary Under Streets of Laredo”

While the Fascist Western nations continue to wage war, the Communist BRIC nations are quietly engaging in their own economic and financial world, free of the U.S. dollar and Western influence. During this time, not one of these BRIC countries has been actually under any physical attack. Even though they have been threatened, they have more or less been fenced off, yet at the same time, protected by the West. In addition to that, South America led by Brazil, for some reason, still has not been met with the same hostility from Western powers as the other BRIC countries. But it seems that with the current events happening now, just after the illegal immigrant invasion, South America is slowly coming in to play.   Continue reading “A Review of the Global Chessboard”

President Barack Obama provoked fury in the U.S. on Thursday by casually devoting less than a minute to the deaths of 295 people aboard a Malaysian airliner, as he began an often jokey 16-minute speech about the need to expand America’s transportation infrastructure.

There are no confirmed American dead and the White House issued a statement on Thursday evening which said they were still seeking any ‘information to determine whether there were any American citizens on board’.
