Update: First Syrian family to arrive in Greensboro living in hotel, here.
This is follow-up story to our post of a few days ago where we learned that Syrians are arriving in the Triad area of North Carolina. Resettlement contractor World Relief/Evangelicals expects 30-100 this next year (the fiscal year begins October 1). Continue reading “More on those Syrian refugees going to North Carolina”
“…….. they have already been hard at working removing them.”
No truer words have been said…exactly.
When we heard all the hype about Obama building a Citizen military, I said then it wasn’t going to happen, in that he didn’t have to build anything, all he had to do was dismantle what was already in place, and replace it with his own personnel, to do that, fire (replace) the existing Patriots with Obama loyalists, wouldn’t cost a dime and it could be done in a matter of a few years… Continue reading “On getting rid of Patriotic Officers”
(Government) business as usual huh?

As America has recently watched in horror as ISIS terrorists behead both American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, more about the neglectful, and ultimately harmful, dealings Obama previously had in the matter are still coming forward. It’s recently come out that the Federal government even went so far as to threaten the Foley Family and demand they not help their son.
According to recent allegations released by Foley’s mother, Diane, agents of the government stated that they would be charged with aiding a terrorist organization should they pay the ransom demanded of them in exchange for their son. “We were told that several times and we took it as a threat and it was appalling.” Continue reading “The Government Threatened Foley’s Family Before Execution”

The city’s top cop says he would shake hands with Satan himself if it would help keep New York safe.
NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton made the fiery comment on Wednesday, as he tried to deflect criticism directed at him and Mayor de Blasio for having the Rev. Al Sharpton participate in a roundtable discussion at City Hall last month in the wake of Eric Garner’s chokehold death. Continue reading “Devil is in details, not Al Sharpton, NYPD’s Bratton says after Eric Garner roundtable comment”
Nothing leaped from Police Commissioner Bill Bratton’s mouth like the words “Chokeholds are not illegal,” during his oversight appearance Monday before the City Council’s Committee on Public Safety.
This was a stunning revelation after it’s been reported again and again by the media that chokeholds have been illegal in the NYPD since 1993 or 1994, depending on the source.
“Illegal” may be the troubling word here and not seen as the same as “banning” by Bratton. Chokeholds been prohibited by the NYPD since Anthony Baez was killed in a chokehold by Office Francis Livoti in 1994. Continue reading “‘Chokeholds not illegal,’ Bratton says”

President Obama’s Homeland Security chief may have let the cat out of the bag about the real reason for Obama’s decision to delay plans to declare amnesty for 5 million immigrants living illegally in the U.S.
DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, in a meeting Wednesday with the influence-wielding Council on Foreign Relations, indicated the president didn’t want to add fuel to an already burning fire of conservative anger over illegal immigration before this November’s critical mid-term elections. To do so might cause a repeat of the historic Democrat losses of 1994 and 2010. Continue reading “Homeland Security Chief Drops Amnesty Bombshell”

Another ringleader of the widescale, multimillion-dollar Social Security disability scam copped a plea deal Friday that could involve testifying against his co-defendants.
Retired NYPD officer John Minvera, 62, pleaded guilty to grand larceny and conspiracy charges in Manhattan Supreme Court for his role in recruiting dozens of retired FDNY and NYPD officers — some who claimed to be sick from working at Ground Zero — in the 26 year-long disability scheme. Continue reading “Another ringleader in FDNY, NYPD disability scam pleads guilty”
Everyone makes mistakes. Freudian slips, misspellings, we forget things…we’re all human. Therefore when the world’s most powerful army wants to ‘help out’ but can’t quite remember where, it should be a cause for concern.
A top US official said on Wednesday – ahead of President Obama’s announcement of the strategy to be taken against the Islamic State terrorrist group in Syria and Iraq, that “Saudi Arabia and Syria share an extensive border.” How do they plan to help the world fight terrorism…?

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the cusp of intensified air strikes in Iraq and Syria, President Barack Obama is using the legal grounding of the Congressional authorizations President George W. Bush relied on more than a decade ago to go to war. But Obama has made no effort to ask Congress to explicitly authorize his own conflict.

DUBLIN (AP) — Much like the Ulster weather, Ian Paisley could offer beaming sunshine one minute, stinging hailstones the next.
The international image of Paisley — that of Northern Ireland’s most dangerous demagogue, a belligerent bigot committed to keeping Irish Catholics at bay and out of power — was well-documented in its own right. But understanding the worst of the public Paisley wouldn’t prepare you for meeting him in the flesh. Continue reading “Ian Paisley’s many faces: orator, inciter, charmer”
BLACKSTONE, Mass. (AP) — A woman who lived at a squalid, vermin-infested home where the bodies of three infants were found this week was arraigned Friday on charges including fetal death concealment and ordered held without bail as the search for more possible bodies continued.
Detectives investigating a case of reckless endangerment of children found the bodies at a house in Blackstone, about 50 miles southwest of Boston, littered with soiled diapers. Four other children had been removed from the home two weeks earlier. Continue reading “Woman held without bail after 3 dead babies found”
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — A judge convicted Oscar Pistorius of culpable homicide Friday in the death of his girlfriend, ruling that the former track star was negligent when he opened fire in his home after hearing what he said sounded like an intruder in a bathroom in the middle of the night.
The judge acquitted Pistorius of a more serious murder charge, a day after saying that the onetime Olympian could have called security guards or screamed for help on the balcony instead of grabbing his handgun and blasting multiple rounds through the door of a toilet stall. Continue reading “Oscar Pistorius convicted of culpable homicide”
A British aristocrat has taken a swipe at activists and politicians who fan the fears of climate change as he claimed that recent research shows there’s been no global warming for almost 18 years.
Lord Christopher Monckton announced on ClimateDepot.com that his scientific satellite data show the temperatures have remained fairly stable between October 1966 and August 2014, despite a rise in greenhouse gas emissions. Continue reading “British Researcher: No Global Warming in 18 Years”

As it turns out, according to a new “study,” hospitals can greatly improve their flu vaccination rate among health care workers by using a mandatory employee vaccination policy.
This is according to a Henry Ford Health System study, funded by Henry Ford Health System and citing the “data” from Henry Ford Health System. Continue reading “Threat of Job Loss Increases Compliance to Vaccines: Study”

The Obama speech is done. Those hypnotized by his lies ponder his message. The U.S. has the “authority” to attack ISIS/ISIL. The U.S. will enter the sovereign nation of Syria without permission because apparently it doesn’t need permission.
Obama in his usual deceptive talk, had the usual smirk on his face as he narrates his role in the now well established global empire of oppression, the U.S. empire. The new world order is here. Spread the word. Continue reading “Strategy Revealed: Make Syria “Look Like a Nail””

Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent, the new group announced last week by Ayman al-Zawahiri to bolster his flagging fortunes, suffered a setback when three of its fighters were killed and seven arrested in its first ever terror attack.
Heavily armed militants attacked a naval dock in Karachi’s sea port on Saturday night and targeted what they believed was an American aircraft carrier, but instead found a Pakistan Navy frigate and were overwhelmed before they could cause any damage, investigators said.
Officers and soldiers in the IDF’s largest, and most elite intelligence unit, known as 8200, addressed a letter to the prime minister Friday, in which the 43 signatories said that they refuse to take part in action against Palestinians or, “to be tools to deepen the military regime in the occupied territories.”
It was unclear in the letter if the soldiers were refusing to follow specific orders they felt to be immoral, or if they intended not to appear for duty at all. Either action could potentially result in court martial and time in military jail. Continue reading “IDF intelligence soldiers refuse to serve: We won’t work against innocent Palestinians”

Investors who have gorged on shares of McDonald’s aren’t feeling so good. And according to both technical and fundamental indicators, it could get even worse for the fast-food giant.
McDonald’s saw its stock plunge this week, touching a 52-week low after McDonald’s reported a 3.7 percent decline in global same-store sales in August. The worst drop in a decade, the number reflected a massive drop in Asia/Pacific sales on the back of a serious meat safety scandal in China.
