WASHINGTON—When 24-year-old Albert Jermaine Payton wielded a knife in front of the police in this city’s southeast corner, officers opened fire and killed him.

Yet according to national statistics intended to track police killings, Mr. Payton’s death in August 2012 never happened. It is one of hundreds of homicides by law-enforcement agencies between 2007 and 2012 that aren’t included in records kept by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.   Continue reading “Hundreds of Police Killings Are Uncounted in Federal Stats”

News reports indicate that the House GOP plans to surrender to the President and avoid taking a stand against his unconstitutional executive amnesty. Even leftwing media outlets agree that the plan is a unilateral surrender. According to Politico, they will vote on a “symbolic” bill opposing the President’s executive action that the “Senate will likely ignore”, then pass a massive omnibus spending bill that stays silent on amnesty.

For crying out loud, even Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)11% supports it. We can now call this the Boehner-Reid Amnesty Authorization Act:   Continue reading “John Boehner and Harry Reid Agree to Bipartisan Funding of Obama’s Amnesty Plan”

WEB Notes: Enter the next stage of the lie called ISIS. We are now told via “Twitter” that ISIS has acquired a dirty bomb and further ISIS has told us they will us one against London. This sounds more like a joke than a threat, but we are told to take this seriously and don’t forget the UN is “alarmed” so it must be serious. ISIS being a “terrorist organization”, why are they allowed to use social media to deliver such “breaking news”? Let’s flashback to last month and you will recall we posted an article titled, “Obama: I will send US troops to fight ISIS if they get nukes“. So we can now see this “Twitter breaking news update by ISIS” will be meet with the force of the United States ground troops in… Syria of course. Now who would have ever seen that coming?

Only yesterday I wrote that Russia is now in an alert state for a new global war. Given the current highly unstable political and economic situation worldwide, there is no way to avert this war, unless a divine intervention takes place before that. We know this and we know what kind of intervention it will be.   Continue reading “The World War Is Coming Closer: The US Congress Will Vote to Go to War With Russia”
