If it seems like it was exactly a year ago that turmoiling retailer Radioshack shut down 500 stores due to lack of consumer interest in its wares (and or consumer disposable cash), it is because it was. So how does Radioshack demonstrate its morbid sense of humor on the one year anniversary of said announcement? Well, by closing another 500, or about 12% of the retailer’s total 4500 outlets currently in existence.   Continue reading “Radioshack Celebrates One Year Anniversary Of Closing 500 Stores By Closing 500 More”

PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — Look up at the wall and you can see Yugoslavia’s late autocratic leader Josip Broz Tito drowning in red fiery waves of hell — along with Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, authors of the 1848 Communist Manifesto.

They are joined by Adam and Eve, current Montenegro politicians and people wearing Turkish turbans. Close by, rival church priests are being gobbled up by the huge jaws of an angry beast with pointed devil ears.   Continue reading “Communists roast in hell in Montenegro fresco”

You just have to see this to believe it. Once you do several things become clear. First the Obamacare team is getting desperate, and secondly they’ve NEVER bought advertising in the private sector as they have absolutely no clue as what effective advertising looks like.

This is one of the stupidest advertisements I have ever seen and a COMPLETE waste of taxpayer dollars. My guess is not one person will sign up for Obamacare as a result of this ad!   Continue reading “DESPERATION: Using Animals to Sell Obamacare – SO BAD you have to see it to believe it!”

Here’s another reminder of how illegal immigration is literally bankrupting this nation – and which will no doubt be totally ignored by the mainstream media in their coordinated effort — with the leaders of both parties — to shove amnesty down our throats.

WASHINGTON — On the heels of the Senate’s passage of a long-awaited farm bill, the Obama administration is to announce on Wednesday the creation of seven regional “climate hubs” to help farmers and rural communities respond to the risks of climate change, including drought, invasive pests, fires and floods.

White House officials described the move as one of several executive actions that President Obama will take on climate change without action from Congress.   Continue reading “Next Phase of Obama’s Executive Push: Climate Hubs”

25 ways to cut water consumptionThe Organic Prepper

It’s beyond dispute that the United States is facing a water crisis. On the West Coast, where much of our produce is raised, an on-going drought has California governor Jerry Brown hinting that water conservation efforts might soon become mandatory. On the East Coast, the water is plentiful but is polluted by chemical spills, as seen in West Virginia and radioactive leaks, as seen in South Carolina.

Two years ago, Michael Snyder wrote about the endless drought of 2012, calling it the largest natural disaster in American history.  He predicted a water shortage that will change the lives of every person on the planet, and he was right – we are living his prediction right now.   Continue reading “Your Daily Water Usage May Shock You: 25 Ways to Reduce Your Consumption”

We all need to relax and zone out more often but sometimes it’s difficult to quiet the mind and let go. In those times, we can turn to herbal remedies. Unfortunately, our governments have and continue to ban plants and herbal remedies! Yes, it is unbelievable, agrifying, semi-laughable but true. Thankfully, there is a highly effective plant that has not been made illegal in most countries called Kratom. Sorry Australians, your government banned this one! Kratom is one of the most effective and pleasurable psychoactive herbs available. The effects are profoundly euphoric and immensely pleasurable. Typically people describe the effects as dreamy, ecstatic, and blissful.    Continue reading “Herbal Bliss with Kratom”

Homeland Security Theater productions follow a rigid formula. A suitably unpleasant and easily manipulated person is identified by undercover operatives, carefully cultivated as a “villain,” then lured into saying something stupid into a recorder. Or quietly assenting to some outlandish plot concocted by a “terrorism facilitator” (yes, that is what the Regime calls its hired provocateurs).   Continue reading “Vegas Homeland Security Theater Operation Ends its Run”

In October 2009, Shawn Nee, an award-winning photographer, was stopped by officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department while taking pictures of turnstiles in the L.A. subway. According to the officers, Nee was engaged in “suspicious terrorist activity.”

“I want to know if you are in cahoots with Al-Qaeda to sell these pictures to them for a terrorist purpose,” LASD Deputy Richard Gylfie told Nee, according to footage shot by a body camera Nee wears while working. Gylfie and his partner, Deputy Roberto Bayes, held Nee’s hands behind his back, searched his pockets and conducted a check to see if there were any outstanding warrants for his arrest. At one point the footage shows Gylfie telling Nee he would put him on “the FBI’s hit list” if he didn’t answer his questions.   Continue reading “Police across the country see photographers as potential terrorists”
