So I was reading Heather Callaghan’s article, “Monsanto Teaching a Health Class In a School Near You?” published earlier today at Activist Post, which begins, “I’m retelling this story not to cause sheer outrage or bring down shame and fire on one school in one instance, but to let you know definitively that Monsanto representatives could visit a school near you to teach a class…”

Scrolling down to see what people thought of this glorious new development in genetically modified propaganda, I noticed a very angry man in the comments section going by the name “Michael Stephens” thought long and hard about Callaghan’s piece and had quite a lot to say:   Continue reading “Self-proclaimed Monsanto employee trolling anti-GMO articles, claiming organic food ‘kills people’”

Pharmaceutical companies rank right up there with Big Oil, Congress, and Cable companies when it comes to trust and popularity.  We don’t trust or like Big Pharma, which we suspect puts profits before all else. Big Pharma haters would even accuse them of preferring to treat disease rather than cure it, and get us addicted to the treatments.  After all, where’s the money once a disease is cured?   Continue reading “5 Over-the-Counter Meds You Likely Use That Just Don’t Work”

CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller was simply doing his job when he tweeted President Barack Obama‘s weekend plans. Little did he know that his effort would unleash a wave of criticism directed at the president.

With the situation in Iraq at critical mass and Baghdad on the verge of falling into the hands of the Islamic militant group known as ISIS, and the impending humanitarian crises unfolding on the southern border with Mexico, folks were simply astonished at what they were seeing.   Continue reading “‘Exhausted’ Obama to drive golf balls as ISIS drives on Baghdad, Twitter erupts”

The goal of American warplanes, should they return after three years to the skies over Iraq they patrolled for the previous 20, will be to help “break the momentum” of the Islamic extremist army that threatens the viability of the Iraqi government, according to Pentagon officials.

The White House is reviewing “options” to aid Iraq against the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), which would stop short of sending US ground troops back to the country where nearly 4,500 of them died between 2003 and 2011.   Continue reading “US may use air strikes to ‘break Isis momentum’ in Iraq, Pentagon says”

Tobacco’s genus, Nicotiana, covers over 70 species. The name tobacco usually refers to most famous and widely used Nicotiana Tabacum and its shorter but more potent cousin Nicotiana Rustica, both native to the Americas.

Although it’s hard to pinpoint when and where it was first cultivated, it is sure tobacco has been used for several thousand years before the time Christopher Columbus reached Americas in 1492, and after that it spread to the whole world.   Continue reading “The long forgotten healing properties of tobacco”

The U.S. since last year has been secretly flying unmanned surveillance aircraft in small numbers over Iraq to collect intelligence on insurgents, according to U.S. officials.

The program was limited in size and proved little use to U.S. and Iraqi officials when Islamist fighters moved swiftly this week to seize two major Iraqi cities, the officials said.

Before the Islamist offensive, the program was expanded based on growing U.S. and Iraqi concerns about the expanded military activities of al Qaeda-linked fighters.   Continue reading “U.S. Secretly Flying Unmanned Drones Over Iraq”

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity, is proudly announcing that the U.S. military is again using their chaplains for active-duty service after a 15-year lull.

ISNA has a well-documented extremist history. In 1991, the Muslim Brotherhood listed ISNA as one of its main fronts. Declassified FBI memos said ISNA is a component of the Muslim Brotherhood, who sees its “work in America as a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.”   Continue reading “U.S. Military Hires Chaplains Endorsed by Brotherhood Entity”

Tel Aviv has been named the world’s number one gay city.

Summary of the eRumor:
This is a forwarded email warning about opening attachments in emails from strangers.   A harmless looking doc, xls, jpg or ppt file could lock up your computer and hold it for ransom until you agree to pay cyber criminals for a key.

The Truth:
The warning is real and so is the Crypto Locker ransomware according to a October 3, 2013 article by WSET News, an ABC affiliate in Lynchburg, VA.    The article said, “It’s as simple as opening an email or visiting a contaminated website, and once it hits your software victims say the only thing to do, is pay up.”   Continue reading “Crypto Locker Virus Warning-Truth!”

Recently, when I went to McDonald’s I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. ‘We don’t have half dozen nuggets,’ said the teenager at the counter. ‘You don’t?’ I replied. ‘We only have six, nine, or twelve,’… was the reply. ‘So I can’t order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?’ ‘That’s right.’ So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets (Unbelievable but sadly true…) (must have been the same one I asked for sweetener and she said they didn’t have any, only splenda and sugar.)   Continue reading “Are we the ones who are aging?”

Hillary Clinton is many things (some of which can be safely described in a family publication). She is a former first lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, and future (she appears to hope) President. She is also — according to a new tell-all book by a Secret Service member — foul-mouthed and ill-tempered.

The book, the Daily Mail notes (h/t Weasel Zippers), is titled “Within Arm’s Length: A Secret Service Agent’s Inside Account of Protecting the President.” Its author, Dan Emmett, worked in the Presidential Protective Division, the plum job for a Secret Serviceman, during Bill Clinton’s two terms in the White House. Emmett also served that detail for George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, which provides a point of comparison for Bill’s and Hillary’s behavior.   Continue reading “Bombshell Book: Hillary Clinton told Secret Service Agent to ‘Get the F**k Away From Me’”

Vice President Joseph R. Biden told a National Association of Manufacturers’ crowd this week that what the United States needed was more, not fewer, immigrants.

Specifically, he called for a “constant, unrelenting stream” of new immigrants — “not dribbling [but] significant flows,” to bolster the national economy, The Hill reported.   Continue reading “Joe Biden: U.S. Needs ‘Constant, Unrelenting Stream’ of Immigrants”
