There he was pursued by Officer Lisa Mearkle who subdued him with a taser, and repeatedly shocked him while demanding compliance. The taser video of the incident has recently been released, which shows Officer Mearkle screaming at Kassick, and demanding that he show his hands and “get on the ground.”   Continue reading “Cop Shoots and Kills Unarmed Man Lying on the Ground”

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Mysterious maneuvers over the Pacific are forcing a change in Los Angeles International Airport landings late at night, meaning noise for thousands of people in the flight path.

Instead of landing from the east over Inglewood, planes begin flying from the west and over the ocean to keep noise levels down, but due to secret military operations, the airspace over the Pacific is closed to incoming flights for the next week.   Continue reading “Secret Military Operations To Divert LAX Planes For A Week”

Many preparedness books (mine included) are full of lists that tell you what supplies you need to survive a coming zombie apocalypse, an epic climate change flash freeze, or a plain old everyday power outage. It’s rare that you find a book that allows you to use things you’d normally throw away for survival purposes.

However, Prepper’s Survival Hacks by Jim Cobb is that rare exception to the preparedness book rule. You won’t find lists of extensive supplies or pricey gear.   Loaded with 50 do-it-yourself projects, this book has lists that read more like the contents of your trash can.   Continue reading “The Prepper’s Bookshelf: Review of Prepper’s Survival Hacks”

Society is effed up. There’s just no other way to say it.

When parents aren’t busy letting iPhones and iPads raise their kids (considering 77% of two year olds are now on them daily), apparently they’re hiring creepy ass clowns to SCARE their kids into behaving.   Continue reading “WTF: Parents Are Hiring This Creepy Clown to SCARE Their Kids into Behaving”

Wendy Bradshaw loves teaching. But when the new mom realized that in five years she’d be sending her baby daughter into the same public school system where she works, the thought filled her with dread. So she resigned, and explained why in a letter that’s going viral with parents and teachers across the country.

“Like many other teachers across the nation, I have become more and more disturbed by the misguided reforms taking place which are robbing my students of a developmentally appropriate education,” Bradshaw wrote to the Polk Country School Board in Florida, in a letter she later posted on Facebook. “I just cannot justify making students cry anymore. They cry with frustration as they are asked to attempt tasks well out of their zone of proximal development. … Their shoulders slump with defeat as they are put in front of poorly written tests that they cannot read, but must attempt.”   Continue reading “Teacher’s resignation goes viral: ‘It is not the children who are disordered’”

Common Dreams – by Robert C. Koehler

Another deep cry, followed by a shrug. The world is at war, at war, at war. But it only hurts them, the helpless ones, the anonymous poor, who absorb the bombs and bullets, who bury their children, who flee their broken countries.

Sixty million people have been displaced by the current wars, the highest number of uprooted since World War II. But who cares?   Continue reading “Spiritually Rudderless”
