WASHINGTON — With Russian-backed separatists pressing their attacks in Ukraine,NATO’s military commander, Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, now supports providing defensive weapons and equipment to Kiev’s beleaguered forces, and an array of administration and military officials appear to be edging toward that position, American officials said Sunday.

President Obama has made no decisions on providing such lethal assistance. But after a series of striking reversals that Ukraine’s forces have suffered in recent weeks, the Obama administration is taking a fresh look at the question of military aid.   Continue reading “U.S. Considers Supplying Arms to Ukraine Forces, Officials Say”

Here’s one of those stories that is so utterly ridiculous that you’ll be hard-pressed to believe it’s not satire.  It should be satire, an ironic tale geared to point out how ridiculous the culture of fear in America is. Unfortunately, it’s painfully, ridiculously real.

A 9 year old boy from Kermit, Texas was suspended last week for making terrorist threats. What could a 9 year old do that was so terrifying?  Did it involve guns? Knives? A plan to blow up the school?

Nope. it involved a ring. A magical one, as a matter of fact.    Continue reading “Texas School Takes “Magical Threats to Children’s Safety Seriously”; Suspends Boy Over Hobbit Ring Terrorism”

Thousands of immigrants seeking legalization through the U.S. court system have had their hearings canceled and are being told by the government that it may be 2019 or later before their futures are resolved.

Some immigration lawyers fear the delay will leave their clients at risk of deportation as evidence becomes dated, witnesses disappear, sponsoring relatives die and dependent children become adults.   Continue reading “Immigrants see court dates cancelled as Justice Department is overwhelmed with cases”

As the world is increasingly divided up into geographic “regions” under regional regimes cobbled together under the guise of pseudo-“free trade,” Israeli authorities are now quietly working to create what they call “free trade zones” with both the Communist Chinese regime and the Kremlin-dominated Eurasian Economic Union (member countries shown in green). The negotiations, officially announced this week, come as globalist plotters around the world accelerate their now-open efforts to subvert national sovereignty at a regional level — all on the road toward what top officials from Beijing and Moscow to London and Washington, D.C., regularly and openly refer to as their “New World Order.”      Continue reading “Globalism Wins as Israel Plans “Free Trade” With Putin, Beijing”

A study from the highly respected Journal of Infectious Diseases found that zinc acetate lozenges (and you should always look for zinc acetate) can slash the length of your cold nearly in half, from seven days to four. The lozenges can even reduce days spent coughing from five to two.

Because zinc works by preventing viruses from replicating, you’ll find that zinc products work best when you start taking them during the first 24 hours of your symptoms.   Continue reading “Zinc reduces colds and pneumonia symptoms”

His father, Jason Steward, said the family had been to see “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” last weekend.

HARTFORD – With final edits and approvals, members of the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission have begun to think about the impact their report on the Newtown school massacre will have on parents of victims and surviving children, as well as people who might be reading the document 20 years from now.

Should Nancy Lanza, killed by her son before he went on the rampage, be acknowledged as the 27^th victim of the Dec. 14, 2012 elementary school tragedy? Should the report begin, as is contemplated, with a detailed, graphic, almost forensic, recounting of Adam Lanza’s movements inside the elementary school that day? Should there be a disclaimer saying the account will be painful and objectionable to some? And should the report refer to Lanza as “A.L.” — as the draft does throughout — or use his name, despite the rage and resistance it can stir among the parents?   Continue reading “Sandy Hook: Adam Lanza’s Name Won’t Be in Report, Mother Not on List of Victims”

Some 270 firefighters have been sent to battle the blaze, which broke out early on Saturday, charring a four-story storage facility in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, said firefighter Daniel Glover. The cause of the fire is under investigation.   Continue reading “Fire in trendy New York City neighborhood could be burning for weeks, officials say”

The Nigerian military has fought off a new attack by Boko Haram militants in the key city of Maiduguri, located in the country’s northeast. Seizure of the city could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe just before presidential elections.

Witnesses told AFP that the insurgents began shooting at 3:00 a.m. local time (2 a.m. GMT) on Sunday in the southern suburbs of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, but were confronted by government troops and local vigilantes. At least eight people died in the attack, witnesses and a hospital source told Reuters.   Continue reading “Boko Haram attacks key Nigerian city second time in a week”

So…after you saw last week’s infographic on the budget-friendly winter vegetables you should be eating, you decided to go for it. You went to the farmer’s market and got yourself some winter vegetables.  They’re the best bargain around this time of year, so you were very happy to see how affordable they are.

But now, you have a lumpy pile of unfamiliar produce on your cutting board.  What the heck do you do with this?   Continue reading “How to Cook Turnips, Celeriac, and Rutabagas”

The surest sign of a medical dictatorship is an aggressively enforced blockade against intelligent questions. Intelligent questions, after all, can destroy a medical police state because they expose the fraud of it.

Intelligent questions — which the vaccine industry characterizes as “dangerous” — are the greatest threat to the vaccine delusions still being played out across the world today, which is precisely why such questions are not allowed to be asked. Those daring to ask such questions are now being threatened with mass arrest and imprisonment — that’s how vulnerable the fraudulent vaccine industry has now become. It can be brought down by mere words if only those words are allowed to be circulated.   Continue reading “The 21 curious questions we’re never allowed to ask about vaccines”
