Originally designed 13 years ago, the 747 Supertanker was intended to be the biggest forest fire fighting weapon the world had ever seen. Evergreen International Airlines, based in McMinnville, Oregon, took one of their cargo 747’s, and redesigned the interior with firefighting equipment. There was even room in the top part to house a logistical command center, chock full of computers and other equipment to analyze and manage the firefighting operations.   Continue reading “Forest Fires Rage As 747 Supertanker is GROUNDED – Forestry “Service” Won’t Give It Permission to Battle Fires”

Disturbed by the use of their city’s name in an anti-LGBTQ document signed by more than 180 conservative Christian leaders, hundreds of Nashville residents have signed a counter-argument to clarify the true values of the Tennessee city.

Residents Corey Pigg, Melissa Greene, and Matthew Paul Turner were inspired to write a statement that represented a city “where everyone is loved, known, and valued regardless of their gender or sexual orientation,” after the Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood released a document on Tuesday called “the Nashville Statement,” which argues against the acceptance of gay, lesbian, and transgender people.   Continue reading “Accurate Nashville Statement’ Embraces LGBTQ With Love to Counter Bigoted Hate”

From Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, the US has had a military presence across the world, from almost day one of her independence.

What constitutes invasion? As one map below shows, the US has a military presence in much of the world without being an occupying force (though some would dispute that definition).

For instance, although the Confederacy considered the US to be a hostile invading power, indy100 are not counting the Civil War or any annexation within the continental United States as an ‘invasion’.   Continue reading “A map of all the countries the United States has invaded”

This year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending for the first time that low-risk high school students receive the meningitis B (MenB) vaccine, first used in the United States in 2014. The recommendation is actually Category B, meaning that the CDC admits the shot might not be for everyone, but suggests that doctors talk the option over with patients.

Of course, such nuance will rapidly disappear as states transform the recommendation into a mandate; Missouri, for example, will not allow 12th graders to begin school this year unless they have received the MenB shot.   Continue reading “CDC releases new meningitis B vaccine mandate for students, despite recent study showing shot fails to protect”
