She is an author, an activist and a music performer. She is articulate and intelligent. However, she puts forth a conspiracy theory that is largely unsubstantiated and mostly unbelievable.

The woman pictured here has been on a crusade against the New Wold Order and has produced many telling videos and documentaries on the subject. Her name is Rebecca Scott and she claims that she is being used by elements of the U.S. government to infect as many people as possible with a virulent strain of TB that has infected her. On the surface, her claims seem outrageous and unsupported until one considers the conditions of her discharge from the hospital.   Continue reading “The Obama Administration Is Forcibly Discharging from Hospitals People with Pandemic-Causing Diseases”

SPEYER, Germany — Islam continues to grow in power and influence across Europe. But at a recent concert in Germany, one Christian woman decided to stand up to it.

“The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace” by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins was supposed to be an interfaith event to bring Christianity and Islam together.

But when the Muslim imam began his call to prayer during the concert, he was interrupted by a small woman in the balcony proclaiming that “Jesus Christ alone is Lord of Germany,” and shouting, “I break this curse.”   Continue reading “‘Brave German Woman’ Rebukes Islam’s Lie”

Writing at their blog, “I Support the Common Core,” lead Common Core math standards writers William McCallum and Jason Zimba claim that opponents of the education initiative have gotten the facts wrong on both the math standards themselves and their own comments about them.

Responding to an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal Tuesday by renowned Berkeley mathematician Marina Ratner, who states that Common Core will move the nation “even closer to the bottom in international ranking,” McCallum takes issue with Ratner’s characterization that he once indicated the new standards “would not be too high.”   Continue reading “Lead Common Core Math Writers Defend Standards: ‘Appropriately Rigorous’”

Kayla Walker was left with several brusies and stratches, but no severe injuries.Guns Save Lives – by Dan Cannon

A 19 year old mother of a 10 month old baby in Enigma, GA faced a terrifying situation earlier this week. Kayla Walker heard a noise at her back door on Tuesday afternoon just before 6:00pm. When she went to investigate, two men forced their way in the back door.

Kayla became involved in a physical fight with the men where she grabbed one of the suspect’s testicles and nearly managed to choke one of the men unconscious. However, that attempt was unsuccessful. Kayla then managed to grab a hammer and land blows on one of the men and get enough separation to retreat and grab her 10 month old child.   Continue reading “Young Mother in GA Used Hammer and Shotgun to Fight Off Violent Home Invaders”
