The big job cuts eBay promised last month are here.
On Monday, eBay and PayPal began notifying employees who were losing their jobs as part of the cuts, multiple sources tell Re/code, as management looks to scale back initiatives that haven’t panned out ahead of the planned split of the two companies in the second half of this year.

Hugo, MN -(Ammoland.com)- Seen by the public for the first time at SHOT Show 2015, two new limited edition rifles by JP Enterprises proved real attention-grabbers on the show floor this year.
The “Billet Beauty” is a limited run of JP’s large-frame LRP-07 platform available in .308, .260 Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor or .338 Federal. Highly stylized, this rifle is an homage to the late-war appearance of several American aircraft of World War II, with special inspiration from the B-17 known as Liberty Belle operated until 2011 by The Liberty Foundation out of Claremore, Oklahoma.

The cost of the Affordable Care Act is turning out to be 20 percent cheaper than expected, but millions of Americans are projected to remain uninsured due to a number of issues associated with the law.
According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)’s latest projections on federal health spending, the US government will spend approximately $600 billion less than previously estimated between 2011-2020. Back in 2010, the agency predicted that total federal health spending would top $11 trillion. Additionally, CBO’s report stated that the ACA’s health insurance provisions will cost 20 percent less than first anticipated.

BOSTON (AP) — Frigid temperatures descended on the northern tier of the country, and while it’s not the coldest weather of the season, the biting chill followed a powerful snowstorm from the Midwest into the Northeast.
According to the National Weather Service, people from Montana to Maine are dealing with sub-zero wind chill temperatures. Temperatures plunged to as low as minus-25 degrees in parts of upstate New York early Tuesday, a day after a storm dumped more than a foot of snow from Buffalo to the Hudson Valley. The National Weather Service said it was 25 below before dawn in Glens Falls, 45 miles north of Albany, and minus-21 in Watertown, near Lake Ontario’s eastern end.

The American Conservative – by Sydney Schanberg
TAC publisher Ron Unz discovered an astonishing account of the role the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, had played in suppressing information about what happened to American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam. Below, we present in full Sydney Schanberg’s explosive story.
* * *
John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.

The hearing seemed largely routine until a state prosecutor approached the lectern.
Deputy Atty. Gen. Kevin R. Vienna was there to urge three judges on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold murder convictions against Johnny Baca for two 1995 killings in Riverside County. Other courts had already determined that prosecutors had presented false evidence in Baca’s trial but upheld the verdicts anyway.

Press TV has conducted an interview with Ken O’Keefe, a peace activist and former US Marine from London, to discuss Washington’s major role in either generating or aggravating most of the current crises across the world and allowing groups like the ISIL Takfiri terrorists to foster and grow.
O’Keefe argued the United States can no longer deny the fact that it is funding, arming and training the terrorist groups through its proxies in the Middle East. Continue reading “US can no longer deny its support for ISIL: Activist”
