It took decades of protests and petitioning the government, but after being continuously ignored, African American activists took over a federal wildlife refuge.

While sites are drawn up in the debate over who is right or wrong in the Bundy militia stand off in Oregon today, it is worth noting that this group of activists did the same thing, decades ago, in a protest against what they considered an unjust land grab by the U.S. government.   Continue reading “In 1979 Feds Violently Removed Black Protesters From Wildlife Refuge”

Could this be one of the latest and largest dinosaur foot print finds in recent archaeological history?

Here is a little background.  In the last few years I’ve been studying the satellite imagery on google earth in Palisades. Nevada.  I’ll include the google earth GPS coordinates at the end of the article to view them. What I’ve discovered is what I believe to be some of the largest dinosaur footprints to be exposed to the public, in fact right now as you’re reading this.   Continue reading “Dinosaur footprints discovered the size of nearly a football field in Northern Nevada”

The Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) casts itself as a spontaneous uprising born of inner city frustration, but is, in fact, the latest and most dangerous face of a web of well-funded communist/socialist organizations that have been agitating against America for decades. Its agitation has provoked police killings and other violence, lawlessness and unrest in minority communities throughout the U.S. If allowed to continue, that agitation could devolve into anarchy and civil war. The BLM crowd appears to be spoiling for just such an outcome.   Continue reading “Reds Exploiting Blacks: The Roots of Black Lives Matter”

Walmart abruptly announced Friday that it was abandoning a promise to build stores in Washington’s poorest neighborhoods, an agreement that had been key to the deal allowing the retailer to begin operating in the nation’s capital.

The giant retailer cited increasing costs for the new projects and disappointing performance at the three D.C. stores it opened over the past several years. But news that Walmart would pull out of two supercenters planned for east of the Anacostia River, where its wares and jobs are wanted most, shocked D.C. leaders. In one case, the city had already committed $90 million to make a development surrounding one of the stores viable.   Continue reading “District leaders furious Walmart breaking promise to build stores in poor neighborhoods”

VIENNA — Iran reentered the global economy Saturday as years of crippling international sanctions ended in exchange for the verified disabling of much of its nuclear infrastructure.

Tehran has hailed the deal as vindication of its power and influence in the world.   Continue reading “International sanctions against Iran lifted”
