Fast food workers from around 150 cities across the United States went on strike early Thursday in an effort to secure higher wages and the right to join a union.

At least 19 demonstrators were arrested Thursday morning in New York City’s Times Square, police told the Daily News, with similar results being reported out of Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Las Vegas, Indianapolis and elsewhere as employees at eateries from coast-to-coast rally for an industry minimum wage of $15 and the ability to unionize.   Continue reading “Fast food worker strike begins with arrests nationwide”

A federal judge on Thursday said oil giant BP acted with gross negligence ahead of the catastrophic 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico, paving the way for the corporation to pay perhaps billions of dollars in fines.

“BP’s conduct was reckless,” United States District Judge Carl Barbier wrote in a decision handed down early Thursday from a federal courthouse in Louisiana.   Continue reading “US judge: BP’s reckless conduct led to 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill”

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — After walking out of prison for the first time in three decades, former death row inmate Henry McCollum tried to climb into his father’s car but put his head through the loop of the seatbelt that is supposed to cross his chest. A TV cameraman showed him how it works.

The safety gear isn’t all that’s changed since the 50-year-old McCollum and his younger half brother were sent away for a 1983 rape and killing that new DNA evidence shows they likely did not commit. McCollum has never accessed the Internet or owned a cellphone. And he looked ill at ease Wednesday in a tie and white dress shirt, the collar at least an inch too large, shedding the red jumpsuit he wore in his cell. His relief was obvious, though.   Continue reading “NC inmate to adjust to life outside after 30 years”

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The intravenous line inserted into the groin of an Oklahoma inmate who writhed and groaned before dying 43 minutes after his execution began was not properly monitored, according to a state review released Thursday, which also recommended more training for prison officials and medical personnel.

Clayton Lockett’s troubled execution on April 29 prompted Gov. Mary Fallin to halt all upcoming executions until a review she’d ordered was completed. The review, released by the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, cited problems with Lockett’s IV line, which caused swelling the size of a golf ball.   Continue reading “Problems with IV line affected Okla. execution”

Texas border rancher vows to stand and fight the cartels, saying “There’s no backup in me” and calls on Texas veterans to join him in stopping the cartels from taking over Texas ranches along the border with Mexico.

Rand Paul, Rod BlumTime – by Sen. Rand Paul

Some pundits are surprised that I support destroying the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) militarily. They shouldn’t be. I’ve said since I began public life that I am not an isolationist, nor am I an interventionist. I look at the world, and consider war, realistically and constitutionally.

I still see war as the last resort. But I agree with Reagan’s idea that no country should mistake U.S. reluctance for war for a lack of resolve.   Continue reading “Rand Paul: ‘I Am Not an Isolationist’”

Breitbart – by AWR Hawkins

With gun control failing nationally, The New York Times reportsthat Michael Bloomberg is heading back to private business at Bloomberg L.P.

This comes after he dumped $150,000 into the August 12th Milwaukee County Sheriff’s race in an attempt to beat Sheriff David Clarke’s “conservative pro-gun policies.” Clarke won. Bloomberg lost.   Continue reading “Michael Bloomberg Returns to Private Business as Gun Control Push is Failing”

Kerry gets religion…

On Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry told his audience the Bible tells us to protect Muslim majority countries from global warming.
Breitbart reported:

Wednesday at a ceremony to appoint Texas lawyer Shaarik Zafar to be special representative to Muslim communities, Secretary of State John Kerry said it was the United States’ Biblical “responsibility” to “confront climate change,” including to protect “vulnerable Muslim majority counties.”

Before It’s News – by N. Morgan

In this disgusting display of heartless rhetoric, the Laredo police are seen celebrating the death of what turned out to be a homeless,  man. The police brutality in this nation is at an all time high and these sadists choose to celebrate taking a life. This is another incident in which the police are showing their true colors and what they really think of us, which is nothing. Our lives to them mean absolutely nothing. The tableau is infuriatingly familiar: Armored assailants surround the prone body of a victim — his lifeless body handcuffed, “Officer Safety,” being the most important consideration in the known universe — who was fatally shot under dubious circumstances.   Continue reading “Laredo Police Celebrate A Killing”

The Real Revo – by R.D. Walker

I have no idea if the cop who shot Michael Brown is guilty of murder, should be commended for good police work or something in between. I wasn’t there and it is far too politicized for me to make a long-distance determination.

I do know, however, that Eric Holder and his so-called ‘Justice’ Department will ensure that no justice is possible in Ferguson, Missouri.   Continue reading “Ministry of Truth to investigate Ferguson shooting”

The New Yorker – by ANDY BOROWITZ [SATIRE]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what he called “a provocative and defiant act,” President Obama charged on Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has started letting his calls go directly to voice mail.

Speaking at the White House before this week’s NATO summit, a visibly furious Obama said that Putin’s new practice of letting his calls go straight to voice mail “hampers our ability to discuss the future of Ukraine and other important issues going forward.”   Continue reading “Furious Obama Says Calls To Putin Going Straight To Voice Mail”

World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: A sudden shift in republican politics? The republicans have been warmongering for years, this is nothing new. Neither party stands with the Constitution loving American public. Rand Paul is an advocate for the use of drones over your head, we covered that a few months ago. ISIS is a manufactured crisis by the US and other Western Governments which are controlled by the globalists. The globalists who are comprised partly of the children of Satan who lead the globalist agenda have been pushing for global government since the fall of Babel. This is the goal of the manufactured ISIS crisis. Along with other “trouble” in the world which would include the global financial system. The deception runs extremely deep and I hope you can see through it. This is only a taste of what we will see when Satan stands in the holy place claiming to be God.      Continue reading “Fear: Rise of Islamic State tests GOP anti-interventionists.
