A Russian fighter jet intercepted a US surveillance plane in waters off Russia’s east coast in April, flying unusually close amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.
The Russian Su-27 Flanker flew within 30 metres of the US RC-135 as it was conducting a “routine mission” over the Sea of Okhotsk near Japan on 23 April, according to Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby.

As the housing market slowly recovers, a majority of homeowners and renters are finding it hard to meet rising rents and mortgage payments, new research finds.
Over half of Americans (52%) have had to make at least one major sacrifice in order to cover their rent or mortgage over the last three years, according to the “How Housing Matters Survey,” which was commissioned by the nonprofit John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and carried out by Hart Research Associates. These sacrifices include getting a second job, deferring saving for retirement, cutting back on health care, running up credit card debt, or even moving to a less safe neighborhood or one with worse schools.

In 1960 Nikita Kruschev predicted that Communism would take over America without a shot being fired. For over 50 years we have wondered if this was just the bluster of an old guard communist or a glimpse of a real strategy. Looking back it is hard to prove a plan of action, but the results are undeniable.
As a boy the most important thing we were taught about Communism was that it depended upon a Godless society in order to take root. The other thing we were taught was that Communism was repressive, that is, though it might get a toehold if the people are not constantly vigilant, once it was established people were ultimately forced into it, and forced to remain under Communist control.

Eric Shinseki, who was forced out last week amid the VA wait list scandal. Continue reading “Front-Runner To Head VA Predicts Obamacare Will Lead To Single-Payer”

The US military’s newest and most expensive fighter jet, F-35, might be susceptible to hacking through its $500,000 helmet, according to a report.
The sophisticated computer-driven helmet will give US fighter pilots new capabilities when the aircraft enters the American fleet in the coming years, CBS News reports.

Just 25 weeks into her pregnancy, Sharrissa Cook gave birth to a critically ill baby boy. Dreshan weighed in at a fragile 1 pound, 11 ounces. He lay motionless in the incubator, connected to tubes and monitors in the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital.
“He was so tiny,” Cook recalls. “I was a first-time mom. I didn’t have a clue. I didn’t know what to expect.” Continue reading “Full Disclosure: Did Government’s Experiment on Preemies Hide Risks?”
Pentagon, Intelligence officials used Top Secret intelligence to prevent previous release of Taliban Five, officials tell TIME
To pull off the prisoner swap of five Taliban leaders for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the White House overrode an existing interagency process charged with debating the transfer of Guantanamo Bay prisoners and dismissed long-standing Pentagon and intelligence community concerns based on Top Secret intelligence about the dangers of releasing the five men, sources familiar with the debate tell TIME.

On June 3, 1880, just four years after he patented the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell was talking wirelessly, sending his words over 213 meters on a mirror and a sunbeam on top of the Franklin School in Washington, DC. Bell called it his most important invention and named it the “photophone.”
Just like a telephone, you’d speak into a transmitter and it would be heard via a receiver, except, rather than sending electrical signals over wire, the transmitter focused light onto a parabolic mirror. When you spoke, the mirror vibrated in response, which modulated the sunbeam and varied the intensity of the light reaching the receiver, where, by shining on light-sensitive selenium, the light became speech again.

Let’s all remember that Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, helped Obama set the table for the Taliban Feast now being celebrated across the Taliban’s world and for Vladimir Putin’s blitzkrieg into the Crimea and his incursions into Ukraine. Her seemingly horrible performance may have been completely intentional, more so than we could ever imagine. Yes, I did write “intentional.” Obama wanted to close Guantanamo from the outset and has chaffed over it for 6 years. He could not quite find the right time to make his move. He could not sell Congress on sending the top five terrorist in that prison back home. Continue reading “Queen Hillary sees “nobility” in Obama’s swap of terrorists for deserter”
