White House again calls for federal employee raise

With the House set to start voting over the next several days on the first of the spending bills for the upcoming fiscal year, the White House has again called for a federal employee raise to be paid in January. “The Administration urges the Congress to provide the proposed 1.0 percent pay increase for Federal civilian employees. As the President stated in his [fiscal year] 2014 Budget, a permanent pay freeze is neither sustainable nor desirable,” the administration said in policy statements on pending bills to fund the Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs departments.   Continue reading “SHOCKING: White House Wants ANOTHER Raise!?!”

New York City’s Parks Department is under investigation for forcing its part-time workers to strip and pole-dance at an agency holiday party in exchange for more permanent jobs. The workers allegedly teased as many as 10 men at a time.

Recently, Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the House Judiciary Committee to answer questions about the administration’s sweeping surveillance of journalists with the Associated Press. In the greatest attack on the free press in decades, the Justice Department seized phone records for reporters and editors in at least three AP offices as well as its office in the House of Representatives. Holder, however, proceeded to claim absolute and blissful ignorance of the investigation, even failing to recall when or how he recused himself.   Continue reading “Fire Eric Holder: Column”

This is hilarious and pathetic. Yea, and I’m sure someone didn’t plant that on the ride for false flag/gun control propaganda purposes and I’m sure AP just happened to have heard about it in passing and reported on it. What are the chances?

So does this mean they will have TSA and radiation chambers at amusement parks now? It never ends.   Continue reading “Disney World patron finds gun on ride”

Chinese hackers have compromised the designs of some of America’s most sensitive and advanced weapons systems—including vital parts of the nation’s missile defenses, fighter aircraft and warships—the Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The Post cited a report prepared for the Pentagon by the Defense Science Board, which groups government officials and private sector experts. The document, “Resilient Military Systems and the Advanced Cyber Threat,” paints a grim picture of cyber-espionage emanating from China only 10 days before President Barack Obama meets in California with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time.   Continue reading “Chinese hackers breach key US weapons designs”

Now I’m not one to post movie articles on From the Trenches, but this one has MSM sociological propaganda (Obama school tactics) written all over it and if you read the comments in the article, you’ll notice that most people aren’t too happy with it, either. 

They try to claim that the reason why Fast and the Furious has been so successful the past 10 years is because of its diverse cast made up of Mexicans, Hispanics, White, Black and Asians.    Continue reading “Latinos Shift ‘Fast & Furious 6’ Into Overdrive at Holiday Box Office”

The arrest Friday of a first responder to the deadly April 17 fertilizer plant blast in West, Texas, on explosives charges, is a new wrinkle that may call into question whether the incident that killed 14 people – including 12 firefighters and paramedics – was in fact a tragic industrial accident, as most people in the area believed.   Continue reading “Unexpected twists in case of deadly blast at Texas fertilizer plant”

There’s been a strange thing going on lately in Travis County, TX. It’s not a financial crisis, a political crisis or even an economic crisis. However, our county officials think it is an environmental crisis. Now I’m not sure if it is being done in any other county in the country, but it is happening in my county and I’m really annoyed as should other people. I don’t know if it has something to do with Agenda 21 or just another way for the corporations and government to suck more money out of us taxpayers. What I do know is that in our broke economy, Americans like myself, are trying save every penny we can and this seems to me to be just another small but annoying excuse for the government to drain more money out of people’s pockets.

So what is Travis County’s bright idea or trial idea that they hope will make waves with other counties? It’s basically the same thing China and other Communist countries have been doing for years now, and thanks to our Communist government, it is slowly creeping up in our country as well. It’s called charging people for bags when they shop for groceries, clothes, or just about anything in general. Kinda like that Internet sales tax.   Continue reading “Environmental Crisis or Money Making Scam – Travis County, TX charges shoppers for bags”

My wife and I (Theodore Visner and Kathy Smith) bought a home from Shelly Sweet on land contract, a sheriff department employee, that changed her mind after we had been in the home for seven months making all payments as agreed. Although we were paying Sweet every month on the purchase of the property, she had not been paying the underlying mortgage and the home fell into foreclosure.   Continue reading “Sheriff’s Department Takes Family’s Home and It’s Contents Using a Fake Eviction”

A Sapulpa man who was held in jail for 84 days before DNA evidence cleared him in the brutal rape of his then-girlfriend’s 4-year-old daughter plans to sue the Creek County Sheriff’s Office for wrongful arrest.

Tommy Braden’s attorney, Don Smolen, of Tulsa, sent notice earlier this month that they plan to take legal action for wrongful arrest and detention, which they allege was the result of the Sheriff’s Office negligence.    Continue reading “Man arrested in rape of girl begs for DNA test, which later proves he’s innocent.
