Year: 2017
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Erik Prince, who founded a private military contractor that has faced lawsuits for shootings and other misconduct in Iraq, is considering challenging a Republican Senator from Wyoming in a primary next year, the New York Times reported on Sunday.
Steve Bannon, U.S. President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist, had urged Prince to run for the seat now held by John Barrasso, an ally of Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as part of an effort to shake up Republican leadership, the paper said.

Timothy McVeigh. We’ve been told so much about him, the Oklahoma City bombing, and what it meant for America. But what if it’s all a lie? Join us today for this special Corbett Report podcastumentary as we examine the multiple trucks, multiple bombs, government informants, faked executions and other pieces of information suggesting that McVeigh was not a “lone wolf bomber” at all but a sheepdipped special forces operative working for the government, exactly as he claimed.

In fact, I knew what the economy did last summer before summer even began. Since the beginning of the year, I have been writing that it appeared housing was reaching a new bubblicious peak and that the real estate market was getting ready to roll over. Just before the start of the summer, I confirmed that prediction by saying that it looked like that process had begun. I anticipate it will be a slow turnover at first, just as it was in 2007, which did not reach free fall until late in 2008. Likewise, I anticipate the present decline will not reach free fall until 2018. Continue reading “I Know What the Economy Did Last Summer Part 2: The Real Estate Rollover”
Seems to me Steven Paddock had a long ways to go to even amount to what the police are capable in just 1 year. But yet our government wants to give the police military arms and equipment. All the while they are calling for our guns.

The year isn’t over yet, and police have already killed at least 1,023 people — many of whom were unarmed and mentally ill.
This number comes from The Guardian’s police killings database, but the Killed by Police database counts 1,096 people who have died at the hands of police so far this year. The Washington Post reports that 908 people have been shot and killed by cops. Continue reading “This is how many people police have killed so far in 2016”
The family of a California man who was killed Sunday night during the mass shooting in Las Vegas is petitioning a court to freeze the gunman’s assets.
The gunman, identified by police as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, opened fire on a musical festival crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, killing 58 people and injuring 489 others before taking his own life. More than 22,000 people were attending the final night of the Route 91 Harvest Festival when gunfire erupted.

The one thing that we can all agree on at this point is that the climate is changing. Mother Nature certainly has awoken with a vengeance with massive storms across the globe, earthquakes, floods, early snows and weakening and even collapsing ecosystems.
The climate is changing (it always does) but that does not mean climate change has anything to do with the fraud of manmade global warming. Climate change does not mean warming it means what it says though the great manipulators of public information decided for us a few years ago that climate change means manmade warming when it does not.

These are baby-doll Southdowns, and yes, they’re exactly as cute as they look in this picture. We only have four today on our “farm”, as sheep have a knack for killing themselves in what would almost be comical fashion if it weren’t so sad. We keep them for their so-so wool, which we clean and card and spin and knit. It’s so-so wool because the Southdowns were bred for their meat, not their fleece, and I can’t bring myself to raise an animal for its meat. Well, I could definitely raise birds for meat. Or fish. But not a charismatic mammal like a baby-doll Southdown. Continue reading “Sheep Logic – This Is The Age Of The High-Functioning Sociopath”

FBI AGENTS ARE devoting substantial resources to a multistate hunt for two baby piglets that the bureau believes are named Lucy and Ethel. The two piglets were removed over the summer from the Circle Four Farm in Utah by animal rights activists who had entered the Smithfield Foods-owned factory farm to film the brutal, torturous conditions in which the pigs are bred in order to be slaughtered.
While filming the conditions at the Smithfield facility, activists saw the two ailing baby piglets laying on the ground, visibly ill and near death, surrounded by the rotting corpses of dead piglets. “One was swollen and barely able to stand; the other had been trampled and was covered in blood,” said Wayne Hsiung of Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), which filmed the facility and performed the rescue. Due to various illnesses, he said, the piglets were unable to eat or digest food and were thus a fraction of the normal weight for piglets their age.

I was going to post this in the comments section but I wasn’t sure where, because I would really like some other folk’s opinions about what I am seeing.
Please bear in mind that I have only been on the net since Thursday and I’m backtracking through video of the Vegas shooting that took place a few days before.
The video I am referring to is the video posted on From The Trenches World Report on October 4th 2017 by Wade. Continue reading “Muzzle flash or weird light reflections?”

Right now, Earth is passing through the tail of debris left behind by the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, which sounds scary, but is actually awesome, because it brings us the spectacular Draconid meteor shower, peaking on October 7 and 8.
Most years the Draconids are quite mild, but every few years the meteor shower unexpectedly bursts into storm. During the 2011 Draconid shower, more than 600 meteors per hour were visible in the sky, despite a bright Moon at the time.
