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.   Continue reading “City Officials Step Up After DOJ Told To Stop Worrying About Civil Rights Violations By Law Enforcement Agencies”

York Regional Police used a helicopter and a canine unit over the weekend to prove to three teenage boys at Canada’s Wonderland that crime does not pay … not even in candy.

The youths were arrested Saturday after allegedly stealing the sweet treats from the Toronto-area amusement park.

“These kids definitely learned a lesson on that night,” Const. Andy Pattenden said in an interview Tuesday.

The entire population of the United States of America, 325,938,309 as of Monday, April 10, 2017 [1], now lives within, and under the control and mandates of, a federally-declared and ‘imperially-mandated’ religious belief system impacting everyone, especially when it comes to preventive health issues, I contend.  “How so,” readers probably are asking?

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.   Continue reading “Sign of the Times: Google Searches for ‘World War 3’ Hit Highest Peak EVER”

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.

MIT Press, a publisher affiliated with the world renown Massachusetts Institute of Technology, recently published a children’s book titled “Communism for Kids.” Its content is every bit as asinine as the title suggests. According to the book’s description:   Continue reading “MIT Press Publishes Children’s Book Titled “Communism for Kids””

Americans are up in arms over the alleged gas attack in Syria. Although there was no investigation, and many high-profile individuals have called it a sham, the US has pinned the blame on Syrian president Bashar Al Assad. So, we thought it would be a good idea to remind our fellow Americans of an occasion where the federal government got away with gassing its own people, an action which, consequently, led to the deaths of 86 men, women, and children.   Continue reading “As US Bombs Syria, Americans Forgot Govt Used Chemical Weapons to Kill Children in Texas”

Award-winning Iran-Contra journalist Robert Parry says the chemical weapons attack in Syria was launched from a joint Saudi-Israeli special operations base in Jordan, according to his intelligence sources.
