NORTON, Vt. (AP) — It can be slow at the U.S.-Canadian border crossing between Norton, Vermont, and Stanhope, Quebec, where agents have watched moose amble through while waiting for people and cargo. But the port is still open 24/7 and needs to be staffed around the clock. However, the U.S. Government is having a hard time finding employees.
As part of a nationwide effort to increase staff at some of its most remote border crossings, Customs and Border Protection is now offering hiring bonuses and job security for people willing to make the move to remote spots in Vermont, Maine, North Dakota, Texas and other locations on both the northern and southern borders.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari said his government will step up its campaign against Islamic extremist rebels but made no mention of his health he spoke to the nation for the first time Monday, after more than three months of medical treatment in London.
“Terrorists and criminals must be fought and destroyed relentlessly so that the majority of us can live in peace and safety,” said Buhari in a televised speech on Monday. “Therefore we are going to reinforce and reinvigorate the fight not only against elements of Boko Haram which are attempting a new series of attacks on soft targets, kidnappings, farmers versus herdsmen clashes, in addition to ethnic violence fueled by political mischief makers. We shall tackle them all.” Continue reading “Nigerian president vows to step up fight against Boko Haram”
CHICAGO (AP) — The fatal stabbing of a hairstylist in Chicago was part of a sexual fantasy hatched in an online chatroom between a Northwestern University professor and an Oxford University employee, whose plan included killing someone and then themselves, prosecutors told a Cook County judge Sunday at a bond hearing for the men.
An Illinois prosecutor shared disturbing new details about the July 27 slaying, describing to the court how Trenton James Cornell-Duranleau, the 26-year-old boyfriend of since-fired microbiology professor Wyndham Lathem, was stabbed 70 times at Lathem’s Chicago condo and with such brutality that he was nearly decapitated. His throat was slit and pulmonary artery torn. Continue reading “Prosecutors: Prof killed boyfriend as part of sexual fantasy”
This copy of the Antifa Manual, that is used by the George Soros funded, violent, anti-American, anti free-speech radical group, was allegedly found on the Evergreen College campus. The content of this manual is disturbing and should be read by every American, so we understand what we are up against. It helps to explain why these groups call our President and his supporters “Hitler” or “racists” or “homophobes.” It’s not that Trump or his supporters are any of these things, it’s just part of a campaign to humiliate and shut down any opposition to radicals whose ultimate goal is a one world order and the destruction of capitalism in America.

Six Flags over Texas, an amusements park that made its icon the six national flags of countries that governed the now-State of Texas, took down its namesake flags and replaced them with only the U.S. 50-star flag. The six flags included a Confederate flag.
“At Six Flags Over Texas we strive every single day to make people happy and to create a fun, thrilling and safe family friendly experience for our guests,” spokeswoman Sharon Parker told WFAA ABC8. “We always choose to focus on celebrating the things that unite us versus those that divide us. As such, we have changed the flag displays in our park to feature American flags. ” Continue reading “Six Flags Parks Remove Historic Flags over Political Concerns”

Two of the U.S. government’s supposed allies are supposedly not allies of each other but enemies of each other, but, away from the glare of the ‘news’media, they actually work together with each other to control, by means of their secret actual alliance with one-another, a substantial, if not the major, part of U.S. foreign policies — especially regarding Iran, Russia, Syria, Israel, Palestinians, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Turkey, but much else besides. These two secret allies of each other, who largely determine U.S. foreign policies, are the Saud family, and the government of Israel. Continue reading “The Saudi-Israeli Alliance”
There is no one left in the White House who has any idea what they’re doing. At least nobody conservative.
President Donald Trump never tires of reminding audiences that he is not a politician, and he proves it on an hourly basis. He is by turns a nationalist, a populist, and a demagogue — but rarely acts as a traditional conservative. Continue reading “The White House is Now Run Entirely by Hucksters, Democrats, and Generals”

The iPhone’s Touch ID fingerprint unlocking is one of the most intuitive security features in consumer technology. Strong passwords are hard to remember and annoying to type. And biometric security, like fingerprint IDs, is great for keeping things locked down. But like anything, Touch ID is really great until it isn’t. Your fingerprints are, after all, readily available, and it’s not that hard for someone to force you to press a button to unlock your phone, which, let’s face it, is probably packed with all kinds of private information, like credit card numbers, search histories, or clandestine texts.

Antifa, which is a progressive, anti-fascist, anti-police hate group is making national headlines lately.
The disparate group of masked rioters and protesters have shown up in greater and greater numbers across the country. Their priorities are bound by anti-capitalist, anti-American sentiment and really not much else.
The group is prone to violence, and just this weekend, dozens of its members were arrested for assaulting police officers in Boston with rocks, fists, and bottles of urine. Continue reading “Petition to Recognize Antifa as Terrorist Organization Gets Tens of Thousands of Signatures”
Smartphone owners who replace smashed screens at third party outlets could be at risk of having their devices hacked, a study has revealed.
Researchers at the University of the Negev have shown that replacement screens for Android smartphones can be manipulated to steal personal information and take control of a repaired device.
The attack, which is almost undetectable, can be used to “severely compromise” a victims’ smartphone, the researchers said.

There is an old Hotel/Pub in Marble Arch, London, which used to have a gallows adjacent to it.
Prisoners were taken to the gallows (after a fair trial of course!) to be hanged.
The horse-drawn dray, carting the prisoner, was accompanied by an armed guard,who would stop the dray outside the pub and ask the prisoner if he would like ”ONE LAST DRINK”. Continue reading “English History Lessons (through old sayings)”

KANSAS CITY, Missouri, August 17, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Catholic father and media professional Steve Sanborn faced down health system apparatchiks who insisted they had a legal right to talk privately with his son and daughter about sex. He has gone on YouTube with a warning to other parents not as suspicious as he is about bureaucratic overreach into parental and family rights.
When Sanborn took his 13-year daughter and 11-year-old son to Children’s Mercy Hospital last month for their annual checkup, he was told they would be seen “privately” by a staff doctor for a few minutes each. “That won’t be happening,” he twice insisted. “Missouri has a new law” that required it, a doctor responded. But when Sanborn held his ground, the doctor backed down. Continue reading “Catholic father says no way to doctor’s private sex talk with his kids”
