(Activist Post) – Apparently the TSA’s response to humiliating gropedowns and civil liberties violations of every stripe is to streamline their process at the airport by conducting a full background check prior to travel. This is the Orwellian thought process in full view: violate your Constitutional rights to free you up for movement to a place of your choosing.

Citing a desire to give 25% of travelers a “lighter screening” the TSA will be accessing public databases as well as government intelligence databases prior to you entering an airport. This will include prior travel history, car registration, and even employment information according to a report by The New York Times.   Continue reading “TSA Adds Full Background Check Prior to Travel”

Despite President Obama’s assurance that the troubled HealthCare.gov website is currently undergoing fixes, Consumer Reports is suggesting people “stay away” from the federal online marketplace for another month.

According to the organization’s verdict, the amount of problems cropping up means the “Obamacare” website isn’t worth the hassle of wrestling with until it’s functioning properly.   Continue reading “Consumer Reports: Stay away from healthcare.gov for at least another month”

ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) — When Charlie Worboys lost his job, he feared searching for a new one at his age might be tough. Six years later, at 65, he’s still looking.

Luanne Lynch, 57, was laid off three times in the past decade and previous layoffs brought jobs with a lower salary; this time she can’t even get that. They’re not alone. A new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds many people over 50 reporting great difficulty finding work and feeling that their age is a factor.   Continue reading “For jobless over 50, a challenging search for work”

Instagram, which does not have a specific policy that bans users from selling firearms, has become another vehicle for online gun sales according to a Daily Beast report. While 91 percent of Americans support a law requiring anyone who purchases a gun to pass a background check, weak state and federal gun policies have left online sales of firearms largely unregulated, which now extends to the increasingly popular photo-sharing application.   Continue reading “Gun Owners Are Using Instagram To Privately Sell Firearms, Evade Background Checks”

NEW YORK — While mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg sent his police force after guns on the streets, launched sting operations against gun shows, and pumped millions of dollars of his own money into defeating gun control opponents at the polls.

His name is now uttered as a curse on right-wing talk radio. But Democratic mayoral nominee Bill de Blasio told HuffPost in an interview Friday that Bloomberg’s laudable approach on gun control was ultimately hampered by his politics.   Continue reading “Bill De Blasio: Bloomberg Didn’t Go Far Enough On Gun Control”

First let’s be clear with the term apoptotic: It refers to apoptosis, the programmed activity of a cell’s self destruction or suicide that is common with normal cells to make way for new replacement cells.

The problem with cancer cells is that they refuse to commit suicide; they’re not programmed that way. So they either have to be killed by chemotoxic agents (synthetic or natural) or induced into programmed apoptosis.

The research summarized here examined chlorella’s ability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. The type of chlorella used for this study was Chlorella vulgaris extract, or CVE, extracted using hot water. [1]   Continue reading “Research suggests chlorella may have apoptotic anticancer effects”

What do you get for the man who has everything? A little more of it, apparently. Today, Mayor Michael Bloomberg will receive the Genesis Philanthropy Group’s inaugural Genesis Prize (so next year’s won’t be called the Exodus Prize) and the $1 million that comes with it. He is so honored for his “track record of outstanding public service and his role as one of the world’s greatest philanthropists,” according to the Group, which was founded by three Russian-Jewish billionaires to, in the words of chairman Alex Knaster, “inspire others to act to strengthen and preserve the Jewish community throughout the world.” The group hopes the award will eventually come to be known as the Jewish Nobel Prize, though it’s worth noting that one-fifth of Nobel Prize winners have been Jews.  Continue reading “Michael Bloomberg Just Won More Money Than You’ll Make in a Decade”

A “diplomatic embarrassment” has arisen following the refusal of Pope Francis I to meet with Israel’s prime minister at short notice. Benjamin Netanyahu’s office had already announced that a meeting would take place during his visit to Italy, reported Haaretz, but the pope has no plans in this regard.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met the Pope during his recent visit to Rome where he received a pen as a gift, with the wish that he will use it to sign a peace agreement with Israel.   Continue reading “Pope Francis will not meet with Netanyahu”

FAIRFAX, Va. –-(Ammoland.com)- With the stroke of his royal pen, President Barack Obama declared that federal law in the form of a 17-year congressional funding ban on gun-control “research” at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) was trumped by his personal decree through an executive order restoring the CDC’s junk-science agenda.

Were I to choose a single word to define this action, it would be “outlaw.” The law forbidding expenditures by CDC to promote gun control still stands. It cannot be erased by an executive order. But this is President Obama, his rule and his rules.   Continue reading “Junk Science Drives Obama Administration’s Gun Policies”

Houston, TX – -(Ammoland.com)- Gun-rights advocates would never use the day of a tragedy as a cause for annual celebration but that’s precisely what anti-rights forces in this country are thinking of doing to do at year’s end, we learned at the Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC) which wrapped up in Houston late last month.

Using money from billionaire New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is rapidly becoming one of the greatest threats the Bill of Rights faces in America, states nationwide, along with the Obama administration, will hold events staged to use the death of innocent victims in Newtown, Conn., to call for infringements on the Second Amendment.   Continue reading “National Gun-Rights Attack To Be Met Head On By Activists”
