By a vote of 245-182, the House passed the resolution, setting up a vote in the Republican-controlled Senate where the resolution’s chances were slimmer, but seemed to be improving.   Continue reading “House passes bill rejecting Trump’s border wall emergency”

Most of the food that we eat makes a long and tortuous journey to our tables, often over great distances or from unknown origins.

Whether it’s factory-farmed eggs, processed chicken, fresh fruit from the west coast, seafood from the east coast, or a glass of wine or ice-cold beer, we often assume that what we’re eating is generally healthy or at least won’t harm us if enjoyed in moderation.  Continue reading “Toxic Weed Killer Found in Almost All Beer and Wine Brands … Including Organic”

Our heartfelt condolences go out to everyone who has lost a loved one due to complications from “The Flu.”  However, some children and adults can and have been injured by flu shots and other vaccinations.  Many Americans are also still unaware that for 30+ years now, the U.S. government has recognized this and there has been a National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program for those who have been injured.  No wonder Donald Trump (and so many others) are opposed to mandatory vaccinations – especially for “The Flu” – which isn’t fatal in most cases.  See also 1, 2 Continue reading “Before Presidency, Trump Claimed He Never Got Flu Shots (or The Flu) and That They Were a Scam.

Rockford, IL — Transparency among US politicians is all but non-existent in modern day America. It seems that every piece of information the citizens wish to obtain from the state must come through begging the government in the form of a Freedom of Information Act request. Many times, these requests are denied and the citizens remain in the dark despite political crimes. However, a new bill out of Illinois is seeking to shift that paradigm of unaccountable lawmakers by forcing them to wear body cameras while conducting public business.   Continue reading “Revolutionary Bill Will Force Politicians to Wear Body Cameras to Stop Corruption”

Obama used his ideas on his path to the US Presidency, Hilary Clinton wrote her thesis on his work, and grass-roots movements, from both the left and now the right, treat his work as the template for action. Yet many people have never heard of the American Saul Alinsky. He is thought be the founder of modern community organising and wrote one of the most influential books on setting up grass-roots movements: the 1971 book “Rules For Radicals”. The basic philosophy was to give power to the have-nots. In his introduction he wrote:   Continue reading “Saul Alinsky’s 13 Rules For ‘Have-Nots’ To Gain Power”

Iowa state lawmakers are looking to crack down on businesses hiring illegal aliens in the wake of 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts’ alleged murder by an illegal alien.

A measure by 26 Iowa state Senate Republicans would strip businesses who knowingly hire illegal aliens of their business licenses and would mandate that employers use the E-Verify system — which weeds out illegal aliens from taking American jobs — before receiving any Iowa tax dollars in the form of economic development incentives.   Continue reading “Iowa Looks to Punish Businesses Hiring Illegals After Mollie Tibbetts Death”

There has been considerable speculation in recent months concerning reasons why the S-300 air defense systems supplied to the Syrian Arab Army by the Russian Federation have yet to fire a shot in anger at Israeli aircraft encroaching on its airspace and launching ordnance against a variety of targets on Syria’s territory. This video attempts to explore a reasonably complete range of explanations. On the one hand, the S-300 batteries in Syria operate under a handicap of operational and political restrictions. However, it would be a mistake to believe that just because missiles are not being launched, that the weapons in question are ineffective.   Continue reading “Why S-300 In Syria Not Being Used Against Israeli Aircraft”
