LOS ANGELES — Rose Gilbert wanted to be a schoolteacher since she was in the first grade and was inspired by the teacher who taught her to read and write.
Gilbert carried out that childhood dream with a rare commitment – she retired last week at the age of 94 after a 63-year teaching career in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Continue reading “Rose Gilbert, Los Angeles Teacher, Retires At 94”

ALBANY, N.Y. — A New York court agreed Friday to review whether the state’s strict new gun controls were rushed into law in violation of the state constitution.
A state Supreme Court justice granted the request for a hearing by plaintiffs who claim the law violates the guarantees of free speech, property ownership and the right to petition the government guaranteed under the state and federal constitutions.

In Senator Chris Murphy Versus Guns we discussed how Senator Murphy is playing the poll card with his colleagues. The polls support us, he says. But I pointed out that they don’t, and (via David Codrea) here is more evidence.
In an ongoing poll conducted of its membership by Gun Owners of America, 96.2% of over 18,500 respondents have thus far opposed Obama’s universal background check proposal. Continue reading “Senator Chris Murphy Runs Afoul Of Second Amendment”

On Decemever 14, 2012, Dr. Eran Elhaik turned almost two generations of Jewish genome research upside down. But he went even further. The young Israeli-Ameican geneticist has charged former researchers with academic fraud, and he has the research to back it up.
How could those those eminent Jewish scientist before him have been so wrong? Easy says Dr. Elhaik, “First these researchers decided what conclusions they wanted to find, and then they set off to find evidence to support it.” I was not bashing Jewish scientists. What Elhaik has described is a slam dunk fraud. Continue reading “New Genome Study Destroys Zionist Claims to Palestine”
The term “final protective fire” means the highest priority is given to this request due to the danger of a position being overrun. For the guy in the trenches, that means firing as fast as possible to break up a determined assault — even if that uses up barrels and ammo fast. If the FPF fails, there won’t be a “later” for those troops. Continue reading “Final protective fire”

March 1, 2013, open austerity takes effect in the United States. Though this is being called sequestration, make no mistake, it is austerity and austerity can only occur in a socialist country. Via the original Constitution for the United States, there was to be not but, if at all, direct tax for a specific purpose for a stated span of time, and only as agreed upon by the people through their lawful representatives.
The theory being that all property is retained by the people and could only be transferred via free will. But then again, there was to be no taxation upon taxation, and more to the present time, upon taxation, upon taxation, upon taxation. Today’s act of austerity dispels any notion of the people’s absolute right to their property. Continue reading “US Soviet Insurgency Institutes Austerity”
The majority of America has either decriminalized cannabis, or legalized it for medicinal purposes
It’s almost hard to believe when you consider how strong prohibition continues in most parts of the country, but 27 states in the U.S. have either decriminalized cannabis possession, legalized possession and state-licensed retail sales, legalized cannabis for medicinal purposes, or a combination of the three. Continue reading “12 Things You May Not Know About Cannabis”

A Florida man whose bedroom has been ‘swallowed’ by a sinkhole is presumed dead. What in the world is going on with our Earth that so many sinkholes have been ‘popping up’ across the planet recently? Does this have anything at all to do with a ‘Nibiru Earth Wobble’ as this story from a Beforeitsnews contributor might argue? This particular sinkhole was found to be ‘not made by human beings’ and was still expanding, according to this story from Raw Story.

Few government research programs have produced as many questions and as much speculation as the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). From the potential of HAARP to disrupt and control communications to the possibility of controlling the weather and creating natural disasters, the sophistication of HAARP and the extent to which it is being used is the subject of much debate.

“Honesty is the best policy” and “cheaters never win” are among the best known sayings of all times, but are they true? Reality shows that society’s reverence for these principles is betrayed by the fact that, all too often, it is the liars and cheaters we reward.
Jonah Lehrer was a bestselling author and a respected journalist until the summer of 2012 when the former Rhodes scholar and neuroscientist was shown to have engaged in a pattern of plagiarism and dishonesty. By early fall, the man who was once heralded as a prodigy had resigned from his post at the New Yorker, was reportedly terminated at Wired magazine, and the sale of his book Imagine was suspended.

For gunmakers, the political fight over assault rifles and high-capacity pistols is about more than just profits – it’s about the militarization of the marketplace and represents a desperate bid by gunmakers to prop up a decaying business. The once-dependable market for traditional hunting guns has fallen off a cliff. To adapt, the firearms industry has embraced a business strategy that requires it to place the weapons of war favored by deranged killers like Adam Lanza and Jared Loughner into the homes and holsters of as many Americans as possible. “They’re not selling your dad’s hunting rifle or shotgun,” says Josh Sugarmann, executive director of the Violence Policy Center, a top industry watchdog. “They’re selling military-bred weaponry.” Continue reading “The Most Absurd AR-15 Article Ever”

Do senators and representatives even know what they just voted for on Thursday when they passed a piece of legislation? The bill included an amendment with egregious problems. The two worst ones are draconian cuts to the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) and the endorsement of the decriminalization of prostitution for minors.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) attached his version of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2013 as Senate Amendment 21 (SA 21) to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 2013 (S. 47). Sen. Leahy originally introduced a version of this bill in the 112th Congress where it came up against opposition and died. Evidently aware that it could not stand on its own in the 113th Congress, Sen. Leahy added it to the Violenece Against Women Act (VAWA) and managed to sneak it past both the Senate and the House.

The US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Tuesday that a group of United States-based attorneys, journalists and human rights activists, along with their affiliated organizations, cannot sue to establish the unconstitutionality of a 2008 amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
The decision had nothing to do with the merits of the claim. Rather, the lawsuit was thrown out of court because the plaintiffs could not prove that the interception of their phone calls and emails was “certainly impending,” a legal standard never before imposed to deny someone the right to sue.

With Washington abuzz over concerns Watergate reporter Bob Woodward was threatened by the White House over his critical reporting, another dispute is playing out involving WND – which is being censored on numerous military bases run by Barack Obama’s Department of Defense.
The exact number of bases isn’t known, but reports have come from Tinker Air Force Base, Kirtland Air Force Base, Hanscom Air Force Base, Hill Air Force Base and several others. Continue reading “Obama’s Defense Department Blocking WND”
