Responding to an outbreak of measles that has infected more than 100 people, two California lawmakers said on Wednesday they would introduce legislation to end the right of parents in the state to exempt their children from school vaccinations based on personal beliefs.

California public health officials say 92 people have been diagnosed with measles in the state, many of them linked to an outbreak that they believe began when an infected person from outside the country visited Disneyland in late December.   Continue reading “California lawmakers seek to end ‘personal belief’ vaccine exemptions”

There are plenty of people listening to talk radio. But over the past three years, it has become increasingly difficult to make money off it.

More than 50 million people in the U.S. tune in each week to news-talk radio stations that carry advertising, making it radio’s second-most popular format, behind country music, according to Nielsen.

But many national advertisers have fled from such stations in recent years, seeking to avoid associating their brands with potentially controversial programming. As a result, advertising on talk stations now costs about half what it does on music stations, given comparable audience metrics, according to industry executives.   Continue reading “Talk Radio’s Advertising Problem”

WASHINGTON — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson released a statement Tuesday night saying that any “politically charged amendments” in the DHS funding bill “that attempt to defund our executive actions on immigration reform” would result in consequences.

Johnson warns that if DHS were to be funded by a short-term funding bill known as a “continuing resolution,” the department would not be able to fund “new non-disaster grants to state, local and tribal governments, law enforcement, emergency response officials and fire departments.”   Continue reading “Homeland Security Threatens Consequences If Funding Bill Isn’t Passed”

The current measles outbreak and measles vaccines are a hot topic of debate raging in both the mainstream and alternative media. However, it would appear that the mainstream media’s reporting on this issue is leaving out some very important facts that for some reason they do not seem to want to report.

Given the severity of the issue and the current rhetoric, which includes some in the mainstream media calling for criminal prosecution and incarceration of parents who refuse the measles vaccine, it is very important that all the facts involving the measles vaccine are revealed to the public.   Continue reading “Why is the Mainstream Media Ignoring Measles Vaccine Fraud Cases?”

An All News Pipeline reader emailed us the photographs seen both above and below of ANOTHER military train on the move in Northwestern Louisiana. While a military train fully loaded down on the move is no longer an uncommon sight in this world we live in, the outright openness and brazenness of these moves is becoming more disturbing to those who are paying attention, such as this Iraqi War Veterans warning to us here.:

I passed three police cars with their lights all flashing as they escorted a flatbed truck that was hauling a Bradley fighting vehicle. No tarps or covers were upon it, it was exposed for all to see   Continue reading “Military On Move – NW Louisiana – They’re In Our Face Now! They Want Us To Know!”

And I thought the story of a nine-year-old kid getting suspended for bringing his magical hobbit one ring to school and saying he could make another kid disappear because that’s a terroristic threat was the dumbest story I had heard come out of a public school this week.

When that happened I had to ask, “How much more pathetic do public schools in America have to GET before they just start imploding from the sheer level of STUPID?”   Continue reading “WTF? Teacher Arrested for Attacking First Grader for Eating Too Much at Lunch: “He Only Needed One Taco””

Barrio 18 members in HondurasIn Sight Crime – by Kyra Gurney

Figures compiled by a Honduras newspaper provide an illustration of the strongholds and scale of the country’s two most powerful street gangs, the MS13 and the Barrio 18.

In an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Barack Obama acknowledged that the United States had “brokered a deal to transition power in Ukraine,” thus admitting to a high level of democratic impropriety.

Before we consider Obama’s revealing remarks, and how the Ukrainian people sold their country for a song, let’s rewind to November 2013, when then-President Viktor Yanukovich had shocked western capitals – and, more importantly, western markets – by suspending plans for an association agreement with the European Union.   Continue reading “Obama openly admits ‘brokering power transition’ in Ukraine”

The New York Police Department officer caught on tape apparently stomping on a subdued suspect has been indicted by a grand jury on a misdemeanor charge of assault. The grand jury only considered the misdemeanor charge, which carries up to a year in jail.

Officer Joel Edouard, 36, appeared in Brooklyn Supreme Court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge and an official misconduct charge, according to NBC. The incident happened during an arrest in Brooklyn on July 23, last year, when police on patrol saw the suspect, Jahmiel Cuffee, allegedly rolling a joint outside a residential building, which he then threw away when he saw authorities.   Continue reading “NYPD cop indicted after stomping on suspect’s head”
