In 2014, a wave of unaccompanied kids from Central America caught the U.S. government off-guard when they flooded into Texas in record numbers, triggering what President Obama called an“urgent humanitarian situation.”
Two years later, a silent swell of a different type is starting to emerge on the U.S. southern border. And it could be a harbinger of another immigration crisis in the making. Continue reading “Whole families are fleeing this tiny country and entering the U.S. in massive numbers”

The Dallas Police Department is attempting to block the release of information related to the use of a bomb robot that was used to kill the sniper who murdered five officers in July.
On July 7, Micah Xavier Johnson attacked a group of police officers in Dallas, Texas, killing five officers and injuring two others. Johnson was reportedly upset about the police shootings of black men and wanted to target white officers. After hours of negotiations, Dallas Police Chief David Brown decided to send in a robot armed with a brick of C-4 explosive. The robot detonated the bomb near Johnson on the campus of El Centro College in downtown Dallas. Johnson was killed in the explosion.

In the summer of 1972, state-of-the-art campaign spying consisted of amateur burglars, armed with duct tape and microphones, penetrating the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. Today, amateur burglars have been replaced by cyberspies, who penetrated the DNC armed with computers and sophisticated hacking tools.
Where the Watergate burglars came away empty-handed and in handcuffs, the modern- day cyber thieves walked away with tens of thousands of sensitive political documents and are still unidentified. Continue reading “Commentary: Evidence points to another Snowden at the NSA”
Louisiana made headlines when racial division rocked the Baton Rouge area after the shooting of Alton Sterling and the subsequent killing of 3 police officers, but when the devastating Louisiana flood occurred last week, it was all but ignored. Of course, there are no agendas of discrimination, no flags to wave, no riots, and no guns to seize. They can’t further their message of race-baiting propaganda, so the mainstream media just doesn’t care. Continue reading “The Truth About Why the Mainstream Is Ignoring the Louisiana Flood”

Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.
The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand in hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations. Continue reading “American journalism is collapsing before our eyes”

In a long fearmongering fluff piece titled “Should We Be Having Kids in the Age of Climate Change?” about how the world is overpopulated and too many people = man-made global warming so we’re all gonna die unless we stop procreating, NPR is promoting not only all of that propaganda, but the idea that people in developed nations should be carbon taxed by the government for having children.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal judge in Texas has blocked the Obama administration’s order that requires public schools to let transgender students use the bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their chosen gender identity.
In a temporary injunction signed Sunday, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled that the federal education law known as Title IX “is not ambiguous” about sex being defined as “the biological and anatomical differences between male and female students as determined at their birth.” Continue reading “Judge in Texas temporarily blocks Obama’s transgender rules”

The FBI’s year-long investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server uncovered tens of thousands more documents from her time as secretary of state that were not previously disclosed by her attorneys. The State Department is expected to discuss when and how it will release the emails Monday morning in federal court.
The total — confirmed by the Justice Department — was disclosed by a conservative legal group after the State Department said last week that it would hand over the emails. The number to be released is nearly 50 percent more than the 30,000-plus that Clinton’s lawyers deemed work-related and returned to the department in December 2014.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Russia has stopped using an Iranian air base for launching airstrikes on Syria for the time being, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday, just hours after the Iranian defense minister criticized Moscow for having “kind of show-off and ungentlemanly” attitude by publicizing their actions.
There was no immediate response from Moscow, which had used the Shahid Nojeh Air Base to refuel its bombers striking Syria at least three times last week. Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi told reporters in Tehran that the Russian airstrikes on militants in Syria were “temporary, based on a Russian request.” Continue reading “Iran: Russia has stopped using Iran base for Syria strikes”
