More than 600 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions were released by federal authorities in early 2013 in advance of the “sequester” budget cuts, according to a government watchdog report obtained by FoxNews.com.

The report by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General showed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released “criminal aliens” from jails all over the country as part of a wave of releases in February 2013. The agency came under fire at the time for the decision, which critics described as politically motivated and dangerous.    Continue reading “Watchdog: 600-plus ‘criminal’ illegal immigrants released amid 2013 budget cuts”

The U.S. Navy has instructed housekeepers to remove Gideon-placed Bibles from every hotel room on its military bases after it received a letter from the atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF).

“We were told today, June 23, 2014, that due to a new policy by the CEO of NEXCOM, Rear Admiral Robert J. Bianchi, we were to remove the Bibles from the rooms,” a housekeeper told AFA in an email. “They told us to put them in boxes, where they would be taken to a donation center somewhere.”   Continue reading “Navy orders Bibles removed from base hotels”

The message the Wisconsin Judicial Branch recently sent is that you have can not milk your own cow unless you have a license from the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP).  This is way over the top. You can not milk a cow without a license, seriously.

Wisconsin farms that do have a DATCP license can milk their GMO fed cows and send their product to a processor. Burn the milk till most nutrients are dead or altered and then it is considered safe for human consumption. You can cook the milk all you want but that does not guarantee the consumer a superior product.    Continue reading “Nanny State Wisconsin: Don’t Milk Your Cow Without a License”

In an effort to protect personal data from falling into the hands of thieves, a bill that requires mandatory technology on all smartphones sold in California is one step away from becoming law after a California Senate vote on Monday.

California legislators are attempting to deal a blow to thieves who have made smartphone theft almost an epidemic crime in America’s most populous state. Smartphone theft accounts for more than half of all crimes in some of the state’s biggest cities, including San Francisco and Oakland.    Continue reading “Smartphone ‘kill switch’ bill moves to California governor’s desk”

A Washington, DC news crew got more than it bargained for while working on a story about a new smartphone app that labels “sketchy” neighborhoods: they got robbed.

The incident took place on Saturday, as reporters from WUSA9 asked residents in a local neighborhood how they felt about living in an area labeled “sketchy” by a new app that went unnamed during the report. While residents told reporter Mola Lenghi that the neighborhood was not as unsafe as the app suggested, the news crew filming the interviews had their cargo lifted from their vehicle.   Continue reading “Reporters robbed while working on story about ‘sketchy’ neighborhood app”

Several months ago I reported that our wise President is closing down the last lead smelting plant inside the United States which will put yet another crimp on ammo for civilians and military alike.  You may want to begin securing supplies of lead now as prices will surely rise as many more preppers and sportsmen will likely step up making their own ammo supply.   Continue reading “Lead Shortages Coming – How to Make Your Own Ammo”

The word pandemic strikes fear into the heart of many, particularly those who fear disease more than any of the other issues that could quite easily change our way of life forever. A pandemic is simply a global epidemic of a given disease, the word pandemic in itself does not denote the severity of the disease, or the impacts it will have on our lives.

Ebola is a terrible disease, one as yet that has no cure…the same could be said of influenza but that does not seem to evoke nearly as much terror as the word Ebola, particularly when the word Zaire is tacked onto the end of it. Ebola Zaire is the most lethal of the five currently known strains of Ebola virus.   Continue reading “How Does An Ebola Pandemic Differ To Other Potential Pandemics?”

The first European infected by a strain of Ebola, Spanish priest Miguel Pajares, has died in hospital, Reuters reported, citing a spokeswoman for Madrid health authorities.

Pajares, 75, was airlifted from Liberia on August 7 after contracting the disease. The priest worked for a non-governmental organization in the African country. Co-worker Juliana Bohi, a nun who was also repatriated, has tested negative for the disease.   Continue reading “Spanish priest becomes first man to die of Ebola in Europe”

Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin and five other institutions have created a molecule that can cause cancer cells to self-destruct by ferrying sodium and chloride ions into the cancer cells.

These synthetic ion transporters, described this week in the journal Nature Chemistry,  confirm a two-decades-old hypothesis that could point the way to new anticancer drugs while also benefitting patients with cystic fibrosis.   Continue reading “Synthetic Molecule Makes Cancer Self-Destruct”

BATR – by Sartre

People are dumb because they do not know and refuse to learn the real history behind world events. Educational institutions do not function as seekers of truth, but as gatekeepers for narratives that defy common sense and defame historical facts. Society fosters the ultimate taboo against chronicles that differ with the established story of distortions and misdirection. Anyone who dares waver from accepted limits and suppositions immediately is a quack or an extremist.　The dreaded label of being a conspiracy theorist, used to smear and marginalize researchers and pundits, is the height of anti-intellectualism and character assassination.   Continue reading “Forbidden History the Ultimate Taboo”

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — The U.S. says Secretary of State John Kerry did not break any rules when he stayed in a glitzy hotel owned by a tycoon blacklisted because of ties to Myanmar’s former military regime.

In a country where cronies own almost all the biggest and best-known firms — including hotels in the capital Naypyitaw — Kerry would have been hard-pressed to find anywhere else to stay during the gathering of Southeast Asian foreign ministers this past weekend.   Continue reading “John Kerry stayed at US-blacklisted Myanmar hotel”

Robin Williams was found dead yesterday at his home near Tiburon, California. The actor and comedian was 63. Authorities are still investigating the circumstances of death, but one thing that is known is that he was battling severe depression. A mountain of studies has shown that antidepressant drugs are largely ineffective, yet many hollywood stars are hooked on the happy pills. Might we finally heed the warnings and shake ourselves out of our pharmaceutical stupor?

Women have a 10 to 25 percent risk and men a five to 12 percent risk of developing severe major depression in their lifetime. The use of these drugs has tripled in the last decade, according to a report by the federal government. In 2006, spending on antidepressants soared by 130 percent.
