U.S.-led aircraft accidentally bombed friendly Syrian forces fighting the Islamic State in northern Syria on Tuesday, killing 18, the Pentagon said Thursday. The April 11 bombing marks the worst confirmed friendly-fire incident in the nearly three-year-old war against the terrorist group.
The U.S.-led coalition said in a statement that the airstrike was requested by “partnered forces” near the town of Tabqa who accidentally targeted a group of Kurdish and Arab fighters known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF.

It appears the DOJ will no longer be in the business of policing the police. A memo issued by every cop’s new best friend, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, states the DOJ will be doing more to empower police and will conduct fewer civil rights investigations of law enforcement agencies. On one hand, it makes sense to have the locals handle their own problems. On the other hand, the locals have repeatedly shown a willingness to ignore abusive policing until the feds are forced to step in.

The current “vaccine-mandate” police state is just one example confirming that status! Continue reading “The Vaccine-Religion-Police State Created By U.S. Bureaucratic Decrees”

Google began tracking trending topics in 2004. Since that time, the term hasn’t drawn very much of the world’s attention, with the exception of years 2006, 2015, and now, 2017.

People are completely fed up with flying at this point.
It’s something many people feel they have to do to get to where they need to go fast enough, but the whole process has become a cross between watching a circus car falling apart in slow motion in a Looney Tunes-esque fashion (with literal clowns) and a DMV line that’s three times longer with a lot more molestation (courtesy of the TSA and their foreign counterparts who have to pat down toddlers in wheelchairs because… turrurrism).

Once again, academia proves itself to be a hotbed of delusional communists, who seek to warp the minds of the young with propaganda.

According to the book’s description: Continue reading “MIT Press Publishes Children’s Book Titled “Communism for Kids””
