A Facebook update from a father frustrated with the Common Core math program at his son’s school is making the Internet rounds after the father Jeff Severt expressed (via what looks like a kid’s homework assignment) how convoluted the teaching approach is.

The worksheet posted to Facebook shows the elaborate Common Core (CC) formula for solving a math problem (as opposed to the simple strategy of subtracting the smaller number from the larger one). It instructs the student to explain why a fictional kid named “Jack” should be using common core strategies to solve the problem: “Jack used the number line below to solve 427 – 316. Find his error. Then write a letter to Jack telling him what he did right, and what he should do to fix his mistake.”   Continue reading “Read Parent’s Facebook Response to ‘Ridiculous’ Common Core Math Homework”

This MIT demonstration first showed how electricity can be wirelessly transferred to a device (MIT)Yahoo News – by Eric Pfeiffer

In a few years, you may never have to worry about manually charging your cell phone or paying for gasoline again.

Wireless electricity isn’t a new concept – it was publicly demonstrated over 100 years ago by Nikola Tesla – but has remained elusive in broad commercial applications.

However, a startup company says they are working to change that, with a business model that could make portable power commonplace.   Continue reading “Wireless electricity may soon power cell phones, cars and even heart pumps”

A fast-moving fire that consumed a large apartment building under construction in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood burned into the night Tuesday, but firefighters were able to keep the blaze from spreading to nearby structures.

The five-alarm fire engulfed the building on Fourth Street near China Basin Street just before 5 p.m., sending black smoke thousands of feet into the sky. Scaffolding melted as chunks of the six-story, 80-foot-tall building fell away. Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White called it the city’s largest blaze in several years.   Continue reading “Huge fire destroys Mission Bay construction project”

Last month, a chemical spill in West Virginia left more than half a million residents unable to use their tap water for drinking, cooking, bathing or cleaning. The incident also forced schools, bars and restaurants to close.

Earl Ray Tomblin, the state’s governor, declared a state of emergency in nine counties following the industrial leak.   Continue reading “FEMA Says NO to West Virginia’s Grant Request for Water Emergency Aid”

45 auto ammunition 250 FBI joins DHS in unusual ammunition purchasesPrepper Podcast Radio Network – by James Smith

While most Americans are being dealt blow after blow of arctic temperatures, and the White House blows $12,000 of tax payer money on the Mrs. Obama, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently placed a solicitation for millions of rounds of .45 Auto ammunition, with an upper limit not to exceed $12,000,000 dollars and a minimum of $20,000. Yet, does America really have 12 million dollars to spend on excess ammo?

The FBI is seeking a supplier to supply ammunition based on the following criteria, abbreviated for space:   Continue reading “FBI joins DHS in unusual ammunition purchases”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A divided federal appeals court has struck down California’s concealed weapons rules, saying they violate the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Thursday that California is wrong to require applicants to show good cause to receive a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The court ruled that all law-abiding citizens are entitled to carry concealed weapons outside the home for self-defense purposes.   Continue reading “Court tosses California’s concealed weapons rules”

Arctic warmingSo it’s now called “Arctic Warming”.

The elites: It’s called “Global Warming”!…Nope, nope that doesn’t work. Oh I know, let’s call it “Climate Change”!…Nope, nope that doesn’t work either. Darn! Hmm….Ah! I got it! We’ll call it “Arctic Warming”! Yea, that’s it.

Don’t worry. If the sheeple don’t believe us, we’ll throw in some “Arctic Warming” Scooby Snacks. Get’s them all the time.

The Arctic is leading a race with few winners, warming twice as fast as the rest of the Earth. Loss of snow and ice, which reflect the sun’s energy, is usually blamed for the Arctic temperature spike.   Continue reading “Arctic’s ‘Layer Cake’ Atmosphere Blamed for Rapid Warming”

(TRN) — Insurance Companies in the United States have begun notifying customers they will no longer have ANY coverage whatsoever for anything relating to nuclear energy claims.  Fallout, radiation sickness, property damage from radiation – all EXCLUDED.  This begs the question:  If the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant in Japan is as harmless to Americans as the government and “scientists” are telling us, why are Insurance companies specifically EXCLUDING coverage for nuclear energy related claims?  (Hint: The government is lying about the danger.)   Continue reading “Fukushima Radiation causing U.S. Insurance Companies to EXCLUDE all Coverage for Radiation Claims”

  “We are not speaking of education in the narrower sense, but of that other education in virtue from youth upwards, which makes a man eagerly pursue the ideal perfection of citizenship, and teaches him how rightly to rule and how  to obey. This is the only education which, upon our view, deserves the name; that other sort of training, which aims at the acquisition of wealth or bodily strength, or mere cleverness apart from intelligence and justice, is mean and illiberal, and is not worthy to be called education at all.”   Continue reading “Common Core: The Business Side of the New Modern Global Education System”

The battle between a free press and the State has been ongoing since the first days of the printing press. The notion that the citizenry could keep tabs on officials and report back to their respective communities revolutionized the master/servant relationship. For once the people were not doomed to remain ignorant while politicians, and royalty robbed them blind and deaf. Awareness was allowed to grow and swell until bursting into a new era of an informed, educated, and active populace.

This development, however, was not viewed fondly by the established ruling class around the globe. Some States completely destroyed the idea of a free press by merging the government with the media. Others simply worked with corporations to monopolize and direct the information reported on by the media. Beyond media manipulation the free press has also been subject to more direct attacks on journalists, and news organizations.   Continue reading “The War on Journalism: Local to Federal”

Since 2010, our waters have been contaminated by chemicals that seem to be at first glance, “accidents”. But what if they were not accidents but planned to make it appear that way? What are the chances of all of these chemical accidents happening one after the other for the past 4 years but before that, there were never any problems. One can only assume that since there is no accountability in our government, the corporate elite can have as many “accidents” as they so desire without impunity.

In 2010, a BP oil rig blew up and spilled an enormous amount of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Weeks later, the beaches all along the Gulf coast were filled with tar and dead fish and birds. After stopping the spill, BP used a chemical to dissolve the oil from the water supply. Continue reading “Are the Corporate Elite Secretly Attempting to Contaminate our Rivers and Water supply?”

People walk past a Best Buy store in New YorkYahoo News – by Shelly Banjo and Drew FitzGerald, Wall Street Journal

Best Buy Co. on Thursday became the latest retailer to chime in with weak holiday results. Like other chains, the electronics retailer blamed the race to offer the deepest discounts, a game of brinkmanship that hurt profit margins and held back revenue.

But there is a deeper malaise at work: A long-term change in shopper habits has reduced store traffic—perhaps permanently—and shifted pricing power away from malls and big-box retailers.   Continue reading “Stores Confront New World of Reduced Shopper Traffic”

Hey all,

Below are PDF compilations of all the FEMA Camp facilities that I could find. Some of you may already have them, but I usually update and post them every 6 months for those who may not have them or are new to the site.

For those of you living in the Dallas, TX area, I wanted to relay this information to you (and anyone else interested in this intel) because I have noticed an over-abundance of Police security towers, such as the one in the picture left, in parking lots in Mckinney, Fairview, Allen, Richardson and Dallas.

The police security towers started showing up after Thanksgiving last year (2013), starting with one in Mckinney at a Target shopping plaza off of the 121. Supposedly, they were trying to use those in case Black Friday got out of hand in the parking lot.   Continue reading “Police Security Towers Popping up all over the Dallas, TX Area”

A new bill in Michigan could curb a controversial police practice. Under civil forfeiture, someone does not have to be convicted of or even charged with a crime to permanently lose his cash, car or home to law enforcement.

Sponsored by state Rep. Jeff Irwin, the bill, HB 5213, would require a criminal conviction to forfeit property worth less than $50,000, related to the sale or possession of controlled substances. In addition, police officers and other government officials who participate in forfeitures that violate the bill would be “guilty of misfeasance in office.”   Continue reading “Michigan Bill Would Take on “Policing for Profit””

PHNOM PENH (Reuters) – Cambodian military police opened fire with assault rifles on Friday to quell a protest by stone-throwing garment factory workers demanding higher pay in a crackdown a human rights group said killed four people.

Chaos during nationwide strikes erupted for a second day as security forces were deployed to halt a demonstration by thousands of workers, who refused to move and threw bottles, stones and petrol bombs at an industrial zone in Phnom Penh.   Continue reading “Cambodian forces open fire as factory strikes turn violent”
