According to a recent New York Times series of articles, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the key Obama Administration figure arguing for a US attack on Libya back in 2011. She promised it would be a triumph of “smart power,” but with billions wasted, tens of thousands killed, and a country in ruins, it looks more like “dumb power.” Now the US and its allies are readying a new military force to go back into Libya to fight an ISIS that was not present before the US “liberation.” Score another defeat for interventionism.

Israel has demolished at least 41 structures, including an elementary school, in one of the villages in the West Bank, leaving dozens of people homeless, the UN said. The current destruction trend is one of the highest on record in the West Bank since 2009.

The latest demolition by the Israeli Civil Administration in Khirbet Tana, on the outskirts of Nablus city, “displaced ten families with 36 members, including 11 children, and affected the livelihoods of five additional families,” Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) for occupied Palestinian territory said in a statement.   Continue reading “‘Record demolition & displacement’: Israel razes dozens Palestinian homes in West Bank”

Both Zero Hedge and Judge Jeanine Pirro think Mitt Romney made a colossal error with his recent condemnation of Donald Trump. Romney still does not get how much righteous anger is out there. Mitt took apart businesses that had been reliable employers, stripped their assets, sold them off and looted their pension funds. He wonders why he did not win the presidency in 2012 and presumes to lecture us on 2016!   Continue reading “Did Mitt Romney Just Awaken The Zombie Nation?”

Murder charges have never been filed in the very suspicious death of 28-year-old Sandra Bland, a black woman who was pulled over by a violent Texas Trooper on July 10, 2015 for allegedly not using her blinker. But TX Trooper Brian Encinia has been fired after being criminally indicted for committing perjury in the case.

For those of you who haven’t seen the full arrest video of Sandra Bland by state trooper Brian Encinia, this is an absolute must see. It all began when Bland was stopped for allegedly not using her turn signal during a lane change on University Drive in Prairie View, Texas.   Continue reading “Maniacal Texas Trooper Finally Fired, For Perjury, After Woman’s Suspicious Death”

Patrick Layton “Pat” Paulsen (July 6, 1927 – April 24, 1997) was an American comedian and satirist notable for his roles on several of the Smothers Brothers TV shows, and for his campaigns for President of the United States in 1968, 1972, 1980, 1988, 1992, and 1996, which had primarily comedic rather than political objectives, although his campaigns generated some protest votes for him.

Early life and education

Paulsen was born in South Bend, Washington, a small fishing town in Pacific County. He was the son of Beulah Inez (née Fadden) and Norman Inge Paulsen, a Norwegian immigrant who worked for the Coast Guard. When he was 10, the family moved to California. After graduating from Tamalpais High School, in Mill Valley in May 1945, Paulsen immediately joined the United States Marines. World War II was still being waged at that time, but it ended before he was shipped overseas. However, he did see overseas duty, including guarding captured Japanese soldiers during their repatriation. He returned home after the war and worked as a posting clerk, a truck driver, a hod carrier, a Fuller Brush salesman, and as a gypsum miner. Later, he was employed as a photostat operator for several years. After attending San Francisco City College, Paulsen joined an acting group called “The Ric-y-tic Players” and formed a comedy trio which included his brother Lorin.

Career in comedy

Paulsen went on to become a single act appearing as a comedic guitarist in various clubs on the west coast and in New York City. During one of his appearances in San Francisco, he met the Smothers Brothers.
The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour premiered in 1967. Paulsen said he was hired because he sold them cheap songs and would run errands. At first he was cast as their editorialist, and his deadpan, double-talk comments on the issues of the day propelled him into the national consciousness. (His deadpan work was nearly flawless: on one isolated occasion, in a talk about Hawaii, he defined a “wahine” as something you put on a bu-hun with lots of mu-hustard. His composure started to crack, but he recovered.) His work on The Smothers Brothers’ Comedy Hour earned Paulsen an Emmy in 1968.

Early in 1970, Paulsen headlined his own series, Pat Paulsen’s Half a Comedy Hour, which ran 13 weeks on ABC. Guests on the first show were former US Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and an animated Daffy Duck, whom Paulsen interviewed.

The comedian was approached by the Smothers Brothers with the idea of running for President in 1968. His reply, he was later to recount, was: “Why not? I can’t dance – besides, the job has a good pension plan and I’ll get a lot of money when I retire.”

In addition to his work with the Smothers Brothers, Paulsen made a memorable guest appearance on The Monkees, appearing in the 1967 episode “Monkees Watch Their Feet”, playing the secretary of National Defense.

Rogers County, OK – A family came home from church one night recently to find that someone had shot their dog. Prior to finding the wounded animal, they found a letter on the front door from a police officer, in which he admitted to shooting the dog. The officer left the dog there to die without attempting to get it help or tend to its injuries in any way.   Continue reading “Cop Trespasses, Shoots Family’s Dog, Leaves Him to Die — Children find Dying Dog and a Note”

It was about two years ago, when news broke that DHS was creating a nationwide license plate tracking system and not long after, they claimed to have cancelled the project.

Don’t believe everything you read…

Last month, I warned everyone that DHS was working with states across the country to phase out vehicle registration stickers and use license plate readers to track everyone.   Continue reading “Pay-By-Plate is really a nationwide license plate tracking system created by AECOM & DHS”
