White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday the Obama administration’s foreign policies in a number of areas have enhanced the world’s “tranquility” – a word that raised eyebrows as reporters pointed to situations in Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Ukraine and the South China Sea.

More than one reporter during Monday’s press briefing referred to a front-page Wall Street Journal article highlighting some of those crises, and citing security strategists as saying “the breadth of global instability now unfolding hasn’t been seen since the late 1970s.”    Continue reading “WH: We’ve ‘Substantially Improved the Tranquility of the Global Community’”

Time was, the Betty Crocker brand was the very definition of family values. All their ads featured pretty, efficient women working in the kitchen, producing fabulous meals and desserts for their adoring husband and children. Well, times have changed and so has Betty. Betty is now a lesbian with a life partner making rainbow cakes for sodomite marriage ceremonies.

A recent write-up in Advertising Age magazine read “Betty Crocker’s Newest Recipe: How to Support Gay Marriage“, and had this to say:   Continue reading “Betty Crocker Launches ‘Family Project’ to Force LGBT Values”

Fourteen different rice paddies outside of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant evacuation zone were contaminated with radioactive material in August 2013, Japan’s agriculture ministry has found.

Despite the findings – which blamed the removal of a large piece of debris from the Fukushima No. 3 reactor building for the contamination – Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) is moving ahead with plans to remove more highly radioactive debris from the No. 1 reactor building later this month.   Continue reading “TEPCO failed to disclose crops over 20KM from Fukushima were contaminated”

Here’s a recent — and supposedly racist — message from the labor union that represents U.S. border patrol agents, as posted by the governing National Border Patrol Council: “New annual job rating areas: Babysitting, Diaper Changing, Burrito Wrapping, Cleaning cells. Law Enforcement? What’s that?”

The message was designed to acknowledge and publicize the frustration and anger of border patrol agents who’ve been pulled from their job of providing border enforcement and apprehending people who are illegally entering the United States and, instead, been assigned to multiple tasks of homemaking.   Continue reading “National Border Patrol Council: “Law Enforcement? What’s That?””

Comcast didn’t earn its reputation as America’s Worst Company overnight — it took years and years of hard work. From offering customers ridiculously overpriced bundle packages, to having the highest fees among any of its competitors, to offering some of the absolute worst customer service of any company in the United States, Comcast has toiled away tirelessly to perfect its craft of angering its own customers, who have little choice but to stick with the cable giant due to the sorry state of America’s home broadband market.   Continue reading “Comcast’s brilliant new way to retain subscribers: Refuse to let them cancel”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

When scientists start using phrases such as “the worst drought” and “as bad as you can imagine” to describe what is going on in the western half of the country, you know that things are bad.  Thanks to an epic drought that never seems to end, we are witnessing the beginning of a water crisis that most people never even dreamed was possible in this day and age.  The state of California is getting ready to ban people from watering their lawns and washing their cars, but if this drought persists we will eventually see far more extreme water conservation measures than that.  And the fact that nearly half of all of the produce in America comes out of the state of California means that ultimately this drought is going to deeply affect all of us.  Food prices have already been rising at an alarming rate, and the longer this drought goes on the higher they will go.   Continue reading “20 Signs The Epic Drought In The Western United States Is Starting To Become Apocalyptic”

In the first four months of the year, the U.S. exported more gold to Hong Kong than it produced from its domestic mining industry.  Actually, gold shipments to Hong Kong were 29% higher than total mine supply from Jan-Apr.  That’s a pretty big deal when we consider U.S. gold production ranks third in the world.

In order to cut costs, many gold producers resorted to “high-grading” their mines.  This has a benefit of increased profit margins at the expense of lower production.  If we look at the chart below, we can see that U.S. gold production declined 5% in the first four months of the year from 72.7 metric tons (mt) in 2013, to 69.1 mt this year.   Continue reading “U.S. Exports More Gold To Hong Kong Than It Produces From Its Mines”

HOUSTON – The Texas Department of Public Safety has quietly embarked on a project totake the fingerprints of every Texan old enough to drive over the next 12 years, and add them to a statewide criminal history database.

Not only has the department made that momentous decision on its own, it doesn’t even have clear legal authority to do so.

The credit for breaking the news on those two items goes to consumer affairs columnist Dave Lieber of the Dallas Morning News, whose long-running “Watchdog” column often shows up in my Google Alerts, for obvious reasons.   Continue reading “State police now fingerprinting every Texan”

SHTF Plan – by Mac Slavo

As the Department of Homeland Security and The Department of Health and Human Services scrambled to find food, medical care and shelter for up to 60,000 illegal immigrants making their way into the United States over the last several months, they came up with the idea of shipping thousands of undocumented migrants to detention centers in Murrieta, California.

Americans showed up in droves to protest the proposed drop-offs. So much so that the gatherings made national news. Swarms of Americans, many of whom hailed from foreign countries themselves, stood in the middle of the road blocking scores of buses as they attempted to reach their destinations at makeshift refugee camps set up by DHS and HHS.   Continue reading “Murrieta Mutiny: Border Patrol “Will Not Obey Unlawful Orders” From Homeland Security and White House”

Of the $3.7 billion in emergency funds President Obama requested of Congress last week to deal with the mounting immigration crisis at the southern U.S. border, $1.8 billion is earmarked for housing and medical services for illegal aliens.

That amount is more than four times the $433 million carved out for U.S. Border Patrol to help strengthen border security.   Continue reading “Obama’s Request: 4 Times As Much to House Illegals as to Secure Border”

The group of emerging economies signed the long-anticipated document to create the $100 bn BRICS Development Bank and a reserve currency pool worth over another $100 bn. Both will counter the influence of Western-based lending institutions and the dollar.

The new bank will provide money for infrastructure and development projects in BRICS countries, and unlike the IMF or World Bank, each nation has equal say, regardless of GDP size.   Continue reading “BRICS establish $100bn bank and currency reserves to cut out Western dominance”

Trouble is brewing in Washington as those who still consider legitimate the national healthcare takeover known as Obamacare try to figure out which enrollees are even eligible for coverage. A new report issued by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) admits that nearly 1.3 million Obamacare enrollees, or about 16 percent of the overall total, cannot be verified for legal status in the U.S. — in other words, most, if not all, of them are illegal immigrants rather than American citizens.   Continue reading “1.3 million Obamacare ‘enrollees’ may not even be American citizens, admits HHS report”
