More than 1,000 migrant children are being sent without their families to a detention centre in Arizona from the Mexican border as authorities are overwhelmed by the number of arrivals.

Jan Brewer, the Republican Governor of Arizona, said she was “disturbed” by the news and claimed her administration had not been notified of the plan. Continue reading “Over 1,000 migrant children sent to Arizona from Mexico border because ‘detention centres full’”

Two weeks after Elliot Rodger stabbed three people and shot three more, a trio of legislators from California, including Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, have proposed a new federal law called “The Pause for Safety Act”.

The law would allow anyone at any time to seek a “firearms restraining order” against an individual to prevent them from purchasing any new firearms and also to confiscate any firearms they may already own. They’re so confident the law is good that states will be bribed into complying through a federal grant program.

As the U.S. government pushes for regular mental health screenings for American citizens to ensure we are not terrorists and that we are capable of owning firearms or raising children, perhaps we should start at the top of the hierarchy – with the President of the United States.

He is, after all, the “decision maker” for our nation and is the sole person responsible for determining if and when the “red button” needs to be pushed.   Continue reading “Psychologist Concerned About Mental Stability of President: Obama May Not Be “Sane””

Edward Snowden

Is Edward Snowden a radical? The dictionary defines a radical as “an advocate of political and social revolution”, the adjective form being “favoring or resulting in extreme or revolutionary changes”. That doesn’t sound like Snowden as far as what has been publicly revealed. In common usage, the term “radical” usually connotes someone or something that goes beyond the generally accepted boundaries of socio-political thought and policies; often used by the Left simply to denote more extreme than, or to the left of, a “liberal”.   Continue reading “The Anti-Empire Report #129”

I recently saw this post on a forum:

“I met this Swedish girl at a bar one night through a group of college friends. Drop dead gorgeous blonde, one of the better looking women that I’ve seen. I was actually nervous, for once, talking to her. We talked on and off, danced a couple times, etc.

One week later: I’m at the gym walking past the treadmills and this girl calls my name. Id never seen her so I politely engaged in the conversation. Soon enough I realized it was the same girl, but without makeup. She wasn’t ugly by any means, just…. blah.   Continue reading “Makeup is Fakeup – Women are Guilty of False Advertising”

By 2002, the wolf population of the Greater Yellowstone Area had grown to 273, while the number of elk in the northern herd had dropped to around 12,000. During the spring of 2009, it was estimated that the area’s wolf population exceeded 450 animals. And due to the escalated depredation by ever growing wolf numbers, Yellowstone’s once wondrous northern elk herd had dwindled to 6,800 animals. The 2011 count has dropped to around 4,400 animals. Likewise, once thriving populations of deer, moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats have also suffered a serious down turn in and around America’s greatest and most popular National Park.   Continue reading “Wolves Destroying Wildlife And Hunting Opportunities”

Last April I saw a report that 83% of May’s college graduates did not have a job. I remarked that in my day most of us had 2 or 3 jobs or graduate school offers before we graduated. The latest payroll jobs report issued on June 6 proves that the April report was true.

My opinion, schooled in part by John Williams’ very precise reports on Shadowstats.com, is that on average about half of the new jobs each month are phantom jobs created by the birth-death model and inappropriate seasonal adjustments. So, I figured that the 217,000 jobs claimed for May are more like 108,000. Then I read John Williams’ report on the May jobs number: “Monthly payroll gains overstated by 200,000 plus jobs”   Continue reading “Fake Employment Statistics: More Phantom Jobs Created in America”

Elon Musk, the inventor and technology billionaire who recently debuted a rocket that he hopes will travel to Mars, has filed suit against the US Air Force claiming the military currently relies on an unfair billing process that costs taxpayers millions.

Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, first announced that he would file suit during a press conference last month in which he said he was launching an effort to change what he perceives as a process that has essentially created a monopoly for United Launch Alliance (ULA), one of SpaceX’s principal competitors. ULA is a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, which won a combined 36 launches from the Air Force over a five year span ending in 2012.   Continue reading “SpaceX sues US Air Force, citing unfair contractor monopoly”

Though the US Central Intelligence Agency may use Facebook, Twitter, and the like to keep tabs on targets of interest, the spy agency has only now officially joined social media–a move hastened by an imposter who was using the agency’s name online.

The agency’s first tweet, which earned the CIA nearly 200,000 Twitter followers in just a few hours, was the appropriately sarcastic, “We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet.” There were already 40,000 followers after just a single hour online, with the agency’s debut on Facebook sparking a similar conversation on that platform.   Continue reading “CIA joins social media, is immediately trolled”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy has finally regained the jobs lost to the Great Recession. But go easy on the hallelujahs. The comeback is far from complete.

Friday’s report from the government revealed an economy healing yet marked by deep and lasting scars. The downturn that began 6½ years ago accelerated wrenching changes that have left many Americans feeling worse off than they did the last time the economy had roughly the same number of jobs it does now.   Continue reading “US job market recovers losses yet appears weaker”

New Kensington first grader Darin Simak realized on Wednesday that he had something in his backpack that was not allowed at Martin Elementary School. It was a toy gun that was in the outside pocket of the bag. Darin was unaware of the toy because, as his mom, Jennifer Mathabel, told WTAE Action News 4, she packed her son’s bag which was a backup because he left his normal school bag in a friend’s car the night before, and she missed the toy gun.   Continue reading “First grader suspended and facing expulsion after finding toy gun in backpack and even turning himself in”
