A South Carolina woman yesterday summoned cops to her home after she discovered that her 15-year-old son had been watching pornography on the livingroom television.

According to a police report, Chavonda Gallman, 40, told sheriff’s deputies that she returned to her Spartanburg home yesterday at 3 PM with her two-year-old daughter and a client (Gallman is a real estate agent). Her son was in his room when the trio arrived.   Continue reading “Mom Calls Cops After Discovering Son, 15, Was Watching Porn On Living Room TV”

Tuesday evening the CDC confirmed to Breitbart News that six individuals in the United States had been tested for Ebola. Those tests came back negative, but the CDC would not identify the states where they originated.

CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported Tuesday that half a dozen people had been tested for Ebola. It was not clear whether a patient who walked into Mount Sinai Hospital in New York Monday with “high fever and gastrointestinal problems” was one of those six or in addition to the six.   Continue reading “CDC Refuses to Identify Where Previous Ebola Tests Originated”

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) quietly changed regulations to allow more undocumented immigrants to keep their taxpayer status through a program that is rife with fraud and abuse, and to delay deactivation of immigrant taxpayer status until 2016.

The IRS now prevents peoples’ Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from automatically expiring after five years as previously mandated. Now immigrants can keep their ITIN so long as they pay taxes at least once in a five-year period.   Continue reading “IRS Abolishes Mandatory Expiration Dates For Illegal Immigrants’ Taxpayer Status”

Here is why we will not be getting the Ebola vaccineThe Organic Prepper

Yesterday, I wrote about my plans to safely isolate my family should the Ebola virus become pandemic in the United States.  What I didn’t touch on very much was the Ebola vaccine that is in the works.

The Ebola Vaccine could become mandatory.

Some people suspect that if a national health crisis were to occur, that a vaccine could be made mandatory. (I hope that President Obama doesn’t read my website, because I’d hate to give him any ideas – he gets so excited about circumventing Congress and making his own laws.)  He’s already signed an executive order that says people suspected of being ill can be detained and isolated. Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse Blog wrote:   Continue reading “Here’s Why I Won’t Be Lining Up for the Ebola Vaccine”

"Sam" watches as his home is demolished in Tent City of Lakewood, NJ. (Source: YouTube)Police State USA

LAKEWOOD, NJ — An impoverished man learned the true nature of government as he watched tearfully as bureaucrats demolished his ramshackle home in the woods.  He was bothering no one except the government.

After years of threats, the local authorities of Lakewood Township finally had Tent City closed down, and all residents evicted from the forest.  The homes that existed there — some for years — were ripped to the ground using heavy machinery.This was the reality that was presented to “Sam,” a 70-year-old homeless man living in the forest in Lakewood Township, New Jersey.   Continue reading “Government tears down man’s makeshift tent in the woods, leaves him homeless”

Relatives of Ebola victims in Liberia defied government orders and dumped infected bodies in the streets as West African governments struggled to enforce tough measures to curb an outbreak of the virus that has killed 887 people.

In Nigeria, which recorded its first death from Ebola in late July, authorities in Lagos said eight people who came in contact with the deceased U.S. citizen Patrick Sawyer were showing signs of the deadly disease.   Continue reading “Bodies dumped in streets as West Africa struggles to curb Ebola”

The US military will begin questioning former US prisoner-of-war Bowe Bergdahl on Wednesday regarding his 2009 capture in Afghanistan by the Taliban, according to Bergdahl’s lawyer.

Major General Kenneth R. Dahl will question Bergdahl, a US Army sergeant, at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. The main focus of the probe, according to a senior Army officer, is to ascertain circumstances that led to Bergdahl’s disappearance from his base station in Afghanistan and his later capture by the Taliban.   Continue reading “US military to begin questioning of ex-POW Bergdahl”

NORTH SALT LAKE, Utah (AP) — A family in this mountainside Salt Lake City suburb huddled late at night with neighbors and a local Mormon leader, praying in vain that a fractured ridge above their home would hold steady during a storm and prevent boulders and gravel from crashing through the back door.

Three generations of the Peruvian family awoke at dawn Tuesday to the sounds of snapping and rumbling as the rain-soaked swath of hillside crumbled above them. The six inside, including young children and their grandparents in their 70s, scrambled outside to escape danger.   Continue reading “Family prayed in vain for home to withstand storms”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Take a White House state dinner and multiply it by 50. The result is the most elaborate and unusual dinner of President Barack Obama’s administration, a one-of-a-kind affair put on Tuesday night for a one-of-a-kind gathering of several dozen leaders from countries across Africa.

The leaders are attending a three-day conference organized by the White House and aimed at boosting U.S. ties to the continent. Obama wasted little time highlighting his own personal connection to Africa during a brief toast. Guests were shuttled down to a massive tent erected on the South Lawn because the White House, as big as it is, does not have any rooms large enough that can hold the more-than-400 invited guests.   Continue reading “Obama welcomes African leaders for unusual dinner”

BONNE TERRE, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri man was put to death Wednesday for raping and killing a college student in 1995, making him the first U.S. prisoner executed since a lethal injection in Arizona last month in which an inmate took nearly two hours to die.

The Missouri Department of Corrections said Michael Worthington was executed by lethal injection at the state prison south of St. Louis and was pronounced dead at 12:11 a.m., 10 minutes after the process began. He is the seventh Missouri inmate executed this year.   Continue reading “Missouri inmate executed for raping, killing woman”

European stocks fell today as nervous investors sold stocks on reports of a build-up of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine. Polish foreign minister Sikorski said Russia has gathered substantial military forces at the border with Ukraine to either put pressure on the neighbouring country or to enter it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his government to prepare retaliatory measures against the latest round of Western sanctions. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev threatened on yesterday to retaliate for the grounding of a subsidiary of national airline Aeroflot because of EU sanctions, with one newspaper reporting that European flights to Asia over Siberia could be banned.   Continue reading “Russia And Iran Sign Historic 500,000 Barrel A Day Oil Deal – Petrodollar Under Threat”

ERIE COUNTY, NY  — A family was traumatized when gun-wielding police officers walked onto their quiet property and shot their dog in the head while looking for a man who did not live there.

Megan Shimburski, 25, was spending a quiet afternoon with her children at her parents’ countryside East Concord residence on July 25, 2014. It was a normal day, she said, which involved watching her 5-year-old daughter play behind the house with their dog, as her infant son lied in a playpen inside the house.   Continue reading “Family pet shot in the head by plainclothes cops searching at wrong address”

A few weeks ago we fought a battle for transparency in our flagship NSA spying case, Jewel v. NSA. But, ironically, we weren’t able to tell you anything about it until now.

On June 6, the court held a long hearing in Jewel in a crowded, open courtroom, widely covered by the press. We were even on the local TV news on two stations. At the end, the Judge ordered both sides to request a transcript since he ordered us to do additional briefing. But when it was over, the government secretly, and surprisingly sought permission to “remove” classified information from the transcript, and even indicated that it wanted to do so secretly, so the public could never even know that they had done so.   Continue reading “UNSEALED: The US Sought Permission To Change The Historical Record Of A Public Court Proceeding”
