Nonprofits take your donations and give them to a good cause, right?
To be fair, most do, while paying their employees competitive but modest salaries. But a handful of nonprofits pay their top executives shockingly high salaries that could make their for-profit corporate counterparts jealous. Continue reading “10 Insanely Overpaid Nonprofit Execs”
The detection of a small amount of genetically modified material in a Washington state farmer’s non-GMO alfalfa crop constitutes a “commercial issue” only and does not warrant any government action, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Tuesday.
The Washington state farmer had complained in late August to state agricultural officials that his alfalfa hay had been rejected for export sale because of the presence of a genetically modified trait that makes the crop resistant to herbicide.

New Hampshire legislators are deliberating House Bill 660, a bill requiring labeling of foods containing genetically engineered ingredients. New Hampshire is one of 26 states considering mandatory GMO labeling. Maine and Connecticut have already approved it with contingencies. And in Washington, D.C., the Just Label It campaign and others have garnered 1.3 million signatures demanding the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approve federal labeling, the largest number of citizens to ever comment on any FDA regulation. National polls show that 92 percent of Americans support labeling, with no significant difference among Republicans, Democrats and independents.

Part 1: When a Liberian girl proves too much for her parents, they advertise her online and give her to a couple they’ve never met. Days later, she goes missing.
KIEL, Wisconsin – Todd and Melissa Puchalla struggled for more than two years to raise Quita, the troubled teenager they’d adopted from Liberia. When they decided to give her up, they found new parents to take her in less than two days – by posting an ad on the Internet.

It seems like every time there is a natural disaster happening in the U.S., coverage was blacked out and FEMA shows up a week late and a few water bottles short of a happy meal. Supply lines get cut off, people’s homes get invaded, guns confiscated, and no MSM coverage is available anywhere until weeks later.
This time it is happening in Colorado, where floods have swamped neighborhoods and disrupted their way of life and to make matters worse, there’s even cases of fracking involved and that toxic chemicals have been released during the crisis. (See here, here, and here) In addition, people have even sent in pictures and video footage to the MSM, who have all but been mute on the subject, as if they have stand down orders from the government itself until FEMA arrives.

BERNE, Switzerland — Neue Zürcher Zeitung NZZ was in possession of four data tapes that apparently originated from Swisscom’s data centres, the editorial office has informed the company. The records concerned are apparently backup files from 2008 to 2010 containing internal Swisscom data, including e-mails. It is still not clear to Swisscom whether customer data are also stored on these data carriers. Three tapes have already been returned to Swisscom and are in the process of being analysed. Data security takes top priority at Swisscom. As a result, the company immediately instigated legal proceedings against persons unknown and informed the Federal Data Protection Commissioner about the incident. Swisscom is doing its utmost to clarify the incident as fast as possible. It is currently assumed that it was motivated by criminal intent. Continue reading “Swisscom Admits Data Security Breach”
A new video from the group calling itself “Organic Spies” is once again rocking the organic food industry. In the video, a woman who identifies herself as a former employee of Whole Foods Market (WFM) testifies that she and other employees were deliberately trained by Whole Foods Market management to lie to store customers about whether the stores carry foods made with genetically engineered ingredients (GMOs).

WASHINGTON — A fight over whether to shut down the government unless the Affordable Care Act is defunded continued on Thursday, 1 day after Republicans released their plan for replacing the 2010 health law.
The Republican Study Committee (RSC) on Wednesday released the American Health Care Reform Act, which ties many GOP-fostered ideas into a 181-page bill. The Republican-controlled House is expected to vote Friday on a “stop-gap” measure that would fund the government for a few months but would also defund the ACA.

Whether the government does the right thing or not, by defunding and defeating this horrible and illegal law, American Patriots will not abide by it…for it’s nothing more than the fast road to tyranny.

Indiana’s largest school district is located in Fort Wayne, in the heart of the congressional district I have the privilege to represent in the U.S. House of Representatives. In May, Fort Wayne Community Schools announced it was cutting the hours of more than 600 part-time employees.
Medical device manufacturers located in my congressional district have been forced to forgo new investments and lay off hundreds of Hoosiers because of a 2.3% excise tax on medical device equipment. That’s on top of tax hikes on hospitals, small businesses and individual paychecks. Continue reading “Rep. Marlin Stutzman: ObamaCare hurts all Americans”

When you think you’ve had a bad day, listen to this man’s story!
He’s standing there waiting when he notices another guy waiting, but with a gun sticking out of his shirt. Thinking he is being low-key, Robert whispers into the teller’s ear, “Gun..” as he writes a note that says the same thing. He’s only trying to warn her that a fellow patron of the bank might be up to something shady. But it backfires, and Robert is arrested instead.

As he prepared to leave office, President George Washington was concerned about the increasingly partisan and militaristic path the young Republic he helped found was heading down.
Even the “Father of His Country” was not above criticism, and the military-industrial complex of the time pilloried him in the press. Although the recently retired general whom the Indians believed could not be killed suffered from the shots taken at him by these “infamous newspapers,” he refused to make any response that would deny his countrymen of “the infinite blessings resulting from a free press.” Continue reading “Washington’s Farewell Address: Beware of “Tools and Dupes””
Just one more small victory for the Republic!
The next victory will be to REMOVE them from office.
