NOTE: The fact that a NATO Commander has to ask questions about aircraft spraying chemicals over a potential battle area under his command speaks to a sophisticated and organized coverup that surpasses development of the atomic bomb known as the MANHATTAN PROJECT.

In both cases we see the development of secret weapons intended to target Civilian Populations.

President Donald Trump announced that he will fulfill his campaign promise to build a nearly 2,000 mile long wall (not a fence) along America’s southern border with Mexico.

The idea is that a physical barrier will act as a low-cost deterrent, and will help stem the flow of illegal immigrants entering America via Mexico—the hope is that once an illegal alien (particularly a criminal migrant) is deported, they won’t return.  Continue reading “Illegal Aliens Cost The US $148.3 Billion A Year: The Border Wall Costs $21.6 Billion”

Campus Reform – by Toni Airaksinen

A Wellesley College student has created a public database of professors who commit “ableist microaggressions” or fail to “respect” students’ pronoun preferences.

The project, “Wellesley Professors and Student’s Mental Health,” was launched Friday by Wellesley junior Elizabeth Engel, who told Campus Reform she was inspired to create the project after experiencing difficulties with professors herself.   Continue reading “Student creates database to report profs for microaggressions”

Update: Trump’s bluff may be working already. Following Trump’s ultimatum, Mark Meadows, chairman of the Freedom Caucus said that the healthcare bill has been improved, and that the Freedom Caucus will meet and discuss the revised bill. And while Meadows is maintaining a solid front for now, saying he is a “No” vote right now, with Trump having shone the spotlight fully on the Freedom Caucus, and thus providing republicans with a scapegoat should the vote fail tomorrow, we would not find it at all surprising if the Freedom Caucus were to fold overnight following “intense deliberations.”  Continue reading “Trump Issues An Ultimatum To House Republicans: Vote On Friday Or Obamacare Stays”

Despite widespread disapproval from constituents, S.J.Res 34 has passed the United States Senate with a vote of 50-48, with two absent votes. Earlier today, at 12:25 Eastern March 23, 2017, the US Senate voted on S.J.Res 34, and will use the Congressional Review Act to strip away broadband privacy protections that kept Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and telecoms from selling your internet history and app data usage to third parties. S.J.Res 34 was first introduced by 23 Republican Senators earlier this month and its blitz approval is a giant blow to privacy rights in the United States.   Continue reading “US Senate votes 50-48 to do away with broadband privacy rules; let ISPs and telecoms sell your internet history”

An investigative reporting coalition recently released a report alleging a multi-billion dollar money laundering operation that has affected hundreds of banks and companies in 96 countries including the repeat offender, HSBC.

In 2012, HSBC, one of the world’s largest banks, settled with the U.S. Government, avoiding criminal prosecution of its executives, for helping to launder money for Mexican drug cartels as well as Al Qaeda. According to the US Senate’s report, which investigated the matter, HSBC provided a “gateway for terrorists to gain access to U.S. dollars and the U.S. financial system.”   Continue reading “After US Refused to Charge Them for Laundering Terrorist Money, Megabanks Busted AGAIN”

Yesterday, Republican Devin Nunez Nunes held an explosive press conference outside the White House in which he told reporters that communications from the Trump team were picked up and disseminated within the government during the 2016 campaign.

Not surprisingly, the comments ruffled some liberal feathers and the mainstream media launched an immediate smear campaign calling for Nunes to resign his post immediately.   Continue reading “NSA To Provide “Smoking Gun” Proof Obama Spied On Trump”

Labor unions have been known to do many despicable things to grab dues money from workers who don’t want anything to do with them. A current Minnesota case is about as bad as you’ll ever find.

In 2013, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) got one of its favored politicians, Minnesota governor Mark Dayton, to sign an order declaring that home healthcare providers who receive Medicaid money to care for disabled family members were government employees. But they were “employees” only because that made them eligible for unionization. The SEIU figured that it had a good shot at finagling a victory in an election, which would then lead to a nice infusion of new dues money.   Continue reading “Another Case Showing Why People Shouldn’t Be Forced Into Unions”

A key bridge in the tourist-friendly town of Big Sur, California, was broken by storms last month, and the closure has had serious impacts on the local economy.

Heavy winter rains damaged the thoroughfare along the iconic Highway 1 in central California, cutting off virtually every hotel, restaurant and state park from visitors and stranding more than 400 residents on one side.   Continue reading “Storms Damage, Close Bridge in Big Sur, California, Splitting Town in Half”
