Joan Rivers received a flood of death threats after defending Israel’s right to bomb Hamas terrorists.

The U.S. Jewish comedian hired a bodyguard after receiving the death threats following her comments in support of Israel.

“Let me tell you, if New Jersey residents were firing rockets into New York, we’d wipe them out, we’d kill them,” Rivers said.   Continue reading “Joan Rivers received thousands of death threats after saying that Israel has the right to bomb Hamas terrorist”

At her weekly press conference Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) predicted that President Obama will deliver a holiday surprise for immigration advocates.

“Since we met last, the President has made an announcement about deferring any action on immigration until later this year. I am confident, meeting with our caucuses in the House – our Tri-caucus: the Hispanic Caucus, the Asian Pacific American Caucus, and the Congressional Black Caucus, all of whom have a big interest in the immigration issue – we feel confident that there’s a great deal the president can do that is at his administrative discretion, and that we’re confident that that will happen.   Continue reading “Pelosi Predicts Obama Will Deliver A Holiday Surprise On Immigration”

The United States could provide offensively geared weapons to the Japanese military within five years, Tokyo officials say. The discussions between the two countries come as Japan’s rivalry with China intensifies and alliances shift among Pacific powers.

The talks with the US cover what Japan regards as a “strike capability,” and are still preliminary. As such, they do not cover specific hardware at this stage, three Japanese officials involved in the process told Reuters. US officials said there were no formal discussions between the two countries, but did not rule out the possibility that informal talks on the issue had taken place. One American official said Japan had approached the US informally last year about the matter.   Continue reading “Japan may receive offensive military weapons from US amid rising tensions with China, N.

Tear gas can be  a valuable tool to keep crowds away from your home during civil unrest. At the moment, it can be legally purchased, but during a grid-down scenario or in the event that laws are changed, that may not be an option so learning how to make your own can be a valuable skill.

Everything you need to make tear gas is available at any grocery store, and with these instructions, it’s easy to make.   Continue reading “How to Make Tear Gas”

This week, the Senate voted on and debated a proposed constitutional amendment that would give Congress and the states nearly unlimited power to regulate election spending. The 79-18 vote was only a cloture vote to advance the resolution to the floor, and the proposed amendment stands almost no chance of passing the high hurdle needed to become part of our Constitution–that is, a two-thirds vote from both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths (38) of the state legislatures.

Yet, even despite the resolution’s poor political prospects, there is one word to best describe it: Terrifying. Even though this resolution can be properly classified as a political stunt, and even though some Senators (including some Republicans) only voted for it just to score political points, it is terrifying that this proposed amendment can even score political points.   Continue reading “Terrifying Senate Democrats Vote to Give Political Speech Less Protection than Pornography”

Yesterday, when Gazprom was supposedly “troubleshooting its systems”, we reported that in what was the first salvo of Europe’s latest cold (quite literally, with winter just around the corner) war, Poland complained that up to 25% of its usual gas deliveries from Russia had been cut. Russia indirectly hinted that this was also a result of Ukraine using “reverse flow” to meet its demands, with Europe allowing Kiev to syphon off whatever gas it needs without paying Gazprome for it. It also led Poland to promptly admit it would halt reverse flow to the civil-war ridden country. Fast forward to today when Polish financial website Biznes reports that things are going from bad to worse in Russia’s energy retaliation war, after Poland claimed a 45% shortfall in Russian natgas imports as of Wednesday.   Continue reading “Poland Says Russian Gas Deliveries Tumble By 45%; Europe To Launch Sanctions On Friday, Russia Will Retaliate”

White House Dossier – by Keith Koffler

Oh the indignity.

What golf course would have turned away President Barack Obama a couple of years ago? None. But now, in a sign of The One’s fading luster, no less than three New York City-area clubs told the president to take his game elsewhere rather than disrupt their members’ coveted Labor Day Weekend of play.

Obama was in  Rhode Island and Westchester County – a suburb of the city – Friday, August 29, doing some fundraising. He was scheduled to stay overnight, since he had the wedding of White House Cook Sam Kass in Westchester to go to Saturday evening.   Continue reading “Obama Denied His Golf”

News from North Carolina marks another milestone toward developing an informed, politically active citizenry familiar with the basic fundamentals of the American Republic.

Homeschooled students now outnumber private-school students in North Carolina. This represents an increase of more than 14 percent from the year before, and a 27 percent increase from just two years ago. The state estimates that there are nearly 100,000 homeschoolers in North Carolina, while private school enrollments have been dropping ever since the beginning of the Great Recession. According to the Charlotte News Observer, this extraordinary growth is due to parental concerns about school violence, the lack of a religious focus in public schools, and the large classroom size.   Continue reading “Homeschoolers Outnumber Private-school Students in North Carolina”

Russia-Iran Oil-for-Goods Contracts
Representatives of the Russian and Iranian governments met in Tehran yesterday for the 11th meeting of the Iran-Russian Trade Council, where details of a ground breaking oil-for-goods swap between the two heavily sanctioned countries were revealed.

With both countries now sanctioned by the West, Russia and Iran have been in extensive negotiations on how to facilitate Iranian oil exports without breaching the UN Security Council nuclear deal that was agreed between Iran, Germany and the five UN Council permanent last January.   Continue reading “Russia And Iran Put Oil-For-Goods Deals Into Motion As Iran Signals Similar Arrangements Coming With China”

Put down the bong, and step away from the counter.

A recent Public Policy Poll (PPP) is showing that Florida’s medicinal marijuana amendment, which will be on the November ballot, has lost significant support among voters.

The ‘Vote No on 2′ initiative, which has implemented a very effected media campaign outlining the cons against legalizing pot, can be credited for the downtick in support for the legalization of medicinal marijuana.   Continue reading “Push To Legalize Pot In Florida Could Be Going Up In Smoke”

Russia does not rule out the possibility that it might close its airspace in response to new Western sanctions over the Ukraine crisis, prime minister Dmitry Medvedev said Monday.

“If there are sanctions connected with energy or further restrictions on our financial sector, we will have to strike back in an asymmetric way, such as restrictions in the transport sphere,” Medvedev said in an interview with Vedomosti, a business daily.   Continue reading “Russia mulls closing airspace in response to new Western sanctions”

The morning after the Sandy Hook shootings, Shannon Watts, a mother of five and a former public relations executive, started a Facebook page called “One Million Moms for Gun Control.” It proved wildly popular and members quickly focused on renewing the federal ban on military style assault weapons.

“We all were outraged about the fact that this man could use an AR-15, which seemed like a military grade weapon, and go into an elementary school and wipe out 26 human beings in less than five minutes,” Watts said.   Continue reading “Why Gun Control Groups Have Moved Away from an Assault Weapons Ban”

We live in chaotic times. Many feel that our fragile economy could come crashing down at any time. One devastating terrorist attack, false flag attack or natural disaster could lead to an unprecedented disaster and martial law would be declared. Some Americans would take to the streets and the only remaining question is whether or not American soldiers, called to the scene, would restore order by firing upon American citizens when ordered to do so?   Continue reading “The Psychological Reasons Why American Soldiers Would Fire On American Citizens”

Two years ago the government of the Peoples’ Republic of China staked a major hope for their energy future on the exploitation of domestic natural gas from its large shale rock formations, so-called shale gas. Today, after hundreds of millions of dollars investment and significant drilling, the dream has evaporated like the ephemeral shale gas they counted on.

Wu Xinxiong, head of the National Energy Administration of China, announced in a speech the surprising news that China’s official target for domestic natural gas production in 2020 was now 30 billion cubic meters for shale gas and another 30 billion cubic meters for coal seam gas. Just two years ago, the Chinese National Energy Administration estimated that China would produce 60 billion to 100 billion cubic meters only of shale gas by 2020.    Continue reading “China the latest country to dump fracking”
