The Clinton Foundation has dropped its self-imposed ban on collecting funds from foreign governments and is winning contributions at an accelerating rate, raising ethical questions as Hillary Clinton ramps up her expected bid for the presidency.

Recent donors include the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Australia, Germany and a Canadian government agency promoting the Keystone XL pipeline.   Continue reading “Foreign Government Gifts to Clinton Foundation on the Rise”

One of the biggest defenses in contraband cases are that law enforcement officers planted evidence and lie to make their arrests. These cries from defendants are largely ignored by all parties involved, including the juries because of psychology. When it is the word of a defendant against the law enforcement officer, people have been conditioned to rely on the word of authority as truth. The question is, should this be the case?   Continue reading “Florida Law Officer: “Planting evidence, lying in reports, just part of the game!””

The vaccine establishment has a horrible conundrum. It desperately wants everyone to voluntarily buy its for-profit vaccine products, but it has failed to convince everyone that its products are safe and effective… or even necessary in many cases.

The problem is made even worse by the fact that the products themselves really aren’t as safe and effective as we’ve all been told. Flu shots still contain mercury, a neurotoxic heavy metal. Some vaccine inserts still admit they are backed by no clinical trials. The U.S. government really has quietly paid out nearly $3 billion in compensation awards to families of children who were irrefutably damaged by vaccines. A top CDC scientist really did confess to taking part in scientific fraud at the CDC, covering up data linking vaccines to autism.   Continue reading “How the vaccine industry lost the propaganda war, alienated the public and stirred up suspicion of the entire medical profession”

Towns and cities in Ohio cannot regulate hydraulic fracturing on their own, the state’s Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.

The court ruled 4-3 that Ohio’s legislature gave state agencies exclusive authority over all aspects of oil and natural gas drilling, including fracking, in a 2004 law, and any local ordinances would violate that exclusivity.

“We have consistently held that a municipal-licensing ordinance conflicts with a state-licensing scheme if the local ordinance restricts an activity which a state license permits,” Justice Judith French wrote in the majority opinion.   Continue reading “Ohio court strikes down local fracking bans”

Washington has learned to avoid dissent from its wars by using a volunteer army of men about whom no one of influence cares. The use of “drones” further reduces public interest, and today the major media, owned by corporations aligned with arms manufacturers and manned by intimidated reporters, hide the results on the battlefield. For practical purposes, today’s press is an arm of government.   Continue reading “The internet is the only free press we have”

LOGVINOVE, Ukraine — When Russian-backed rebels went on the offensive in east Ukraine a month ago, the focal point of the clashes quickly switched to Debaltseve, a strategically key rail junction linking their two unsanctioned states. For weeks, Ukraine’s government denied rebel claims to have the town surrounded, even as artillery fire prompted most civilians to flee, killed hundreds, and destroyed the town beyond recognition.   Continue reading “Horrific Images Capture The Sheer Brutality Of War In Ukraine”

Shootings by police officers make the headlines, especially when they occur under questionable circumstances. People get upset when people are shot by police—especially, again, when they occur under questionable circumstances. When people get upset at police officers, they sometimes say mean things about them on Facebook and Twitter. And thatis why Arizona police officers’ names have to be kept secret after they’re involved in shootings. Because mean tweets.

Well, OK. It’s because somebody might eventually do something other than vent through social media.   Continue reading “How to Address Anger Over Shootings By Police? Hide Cops’ Names, Of Course!”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas mother of four killed in a road rage shooting last week got in her car with her adult son and his gun and drove around their neighborhood looking for the assailant who ended up shooting her in a residential cul-de-sac, police said Tuesday.

In a change from earlier accounts, police Lt. Ray Steiber said 44-year-old Tammy Meyers had her teenage daughter run in the house to fetch her armed son, who then went with her as she drove to find the driver who had earlier stopped his car in front of hers, got out and approached her with angry words.   Continue reading “Police: Vegas mom, son searched for vehicle before shooting”

A day after a federal judge halted President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty, California Governor Jerry Brown declared “California stands firmly with the White House.”

“Further delay will not fix our broken immigration system,” Brown, who has declared that all illegal immigrants from Mexico are “welcome” in California, said in a statement.

On Tuesday, President Barack Obama said he disagrees with the decision and the administration would appeal the ruling. Department of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson announced that the Obama administration will not be taking temporary amnesty applications until the case is resolved.   Continue reading “Jerry Brown: ‘California Stands Firmly with White House’ on Exec Amnesty”

The project is “a multimedia platform which will explore the evolving American identity in the 21st century,” read a release.

Vargas is an outspoken activist for immigration reform, particularly reform that would include amnesty for the millions of immigrants living illegally in the U.S. He is also a veteran journalist who came out in 2011 as an unlawful American resident.   Continue reading “Los Angeles Times teams up with illegal immigrant journalist on editorial project”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is amending its regulations for weapons sales to allow the export of armed military drones to friendly nations and allies.

The State Department said Tuesday the new policy would allow foreign governments that meet certain requirements — and pledge not to use the unmanned aircraft illegally — to buy the vehicles that have played a critical but controversial role in combating terrorism and are increasingly used for other purposes. Recipient countries would be required to sign end-use statements certifying that the drones would not be used for unlawful surveillance or force against domestic populations and would only be used in internationally sanctioned military operations, such as self-defense.   Continue reading “US to allow export of armed military drones”
