The possible trip comes six months after Pyongyang at the last minute canceled an invitation for Ban to visit an inter-Korean factory park in the North Korean city of Kaesong.

BOSTON (AP) — The number of international students studying at U.S. colleges increased by 10 percent last year, marking the largest single-year gain in 35 years, according to new federal data. Meanwhile, the number of Americans studying abroad grew by only 5 percent, falling short of expectations.

The findings were released Monday from an annual study by the nonprofit Institute of International Education and the U.S. Department of State. Of almost 1 million students that came to the U.S. in the 2014-15 school year, about a third came from China, the most from any country. But much of last year’s growth is credited to a surge in the number of students who came from India, drawn by strong research programs, experts say.   Continue reading “US adds foreign students, but few Americans study abroad”

According to a recent DHS/FBI National Counter Terrorism bulletin terrorists are impersonating police.

“Two disrupted plots in Europe earlier this year highlight terrorists possible interest in impersonating first responders through the acquisition of authentic or fraudulent uniforms, equipment, vehicles, and other items which may be associated with government, military, law enforcement, fire, and emergency services personnel. We cannot rule out that terrorists possibly could consider using this tactic in the Homeland to conduct an attack, perform surveillance, facilitate escape, or other operational activity. These items can be acquired legally at local or online retailers, through theft, or counterfeit manufacture.” Continue reading “DHS claims terrorists could be impersonating cops”

For federal state and local law enforcement agencies, a little-known practice giving them the power to take Americans’ property, cash, and cars has proven to be a boon over the last decade.

According to a new report from the Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, the federal government has seen a substantial increase over the last 13 years in the amount of money deposited into forfeiture funds governed by the Departments of Justice and Treasury—the two federal agencies that typically conduct forfeitures.   Continue reading “The Government Netted $4.5 Billion in Cash, Cars, and Houses Taken From Americans Last Year”

Everyone needs a plan B. And that got me thinking. From everything I see, there is a “master plan” that will lead us to a directed outcome, yet there is no way to tell what that is coming. You can’t take all of your survival supplies with you in daily travels ,and what are the statistical chances that you will have your survival supplies at hand should “the big one” pop? What if I’m on the way back from Legoland with my kids and there is a roadblock between me and home? Granted, at some point you have to accept that the One Above is in charge, but I do believe in due diligence. You can drive yourself nuts with the what ifs, but is it wise to hide some survival supplies, especially outside of your property? What kind of storage will last for years, and protect the contents inside from pests and water damage? I found a couple of large military containers that are cheap, and from what I can tell so far, they are also bone dry and indestructible.   Continue reading “Prepping 101: Bury a Rifle and Some Food”

Greenfield, IN – A cop that apparently has a decent sense of humor had his fun spoiled by The Indiana Supreme Court, who decided that he could not have a vanity license plate that said “OINK,” on his vehicle. Corporal Rodney Vawter of the Greenfield Police Department was told that vanity licence plates are not covered by free speech.

According to Justice Brent E. Dickson, who ruled on the case, the constitution “restricts government regulation of private speech” but it “does not regulate government.”   Continue reading “Irony? Court Violates Cop’s Free Speech, Ruling that His License Plate Can’t Say ‘OINK’”

The Daily Sheeple – by Melissa Dykes

Another day, another very important bill being passed by the Senate. This one almost makes sense, but then it doesn’t… considering no nation on Earth can claim sovereign ownership of a celestial body in space, that is.

On Tuesday, the Senate passed the Space Act of 2015 which is being hailed as a way to encourage the private space industry. Part of the bill legalized space mining, allowing companies the property rights to any resources that they might extract from asteroids out there. The Daily Caller noted that a bunch of think tanks concluded the lack of this bill was a major hurdle to space-based industry development. “This bill will keep America at the forefront of aerospace technology, create jobs, reduce red tape, promote safety, and inspire the next generation of explorers,” Chairman of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, Congressman Lamar Smith, said in a press release.
