Greg Kelly’s grandson, Caden, scampers to the tree-shaded creek behind his grandfather’s house to catch crawdads, as Kelly shuffles along, trying to keep up. Kelly’s small day pack holds an oxygen tank with a clear tube clipped to his nose. He has chairs spaced out on the short route so he can stop every few minutes, sit down and catch his breath, until he has enough wind and strength to start out again for the creek.

“I just pray that the Lord give me as much time as I can with him,” Kelly said, his eyes welling with tears. “He just lightens my life. I want to be as fun with him as I can. And do as much as I can with him.”   Continue reading “An Epidemic Is Killing Thousands Of Coal Miners. Regulators Could Have Stopped It”

Recently we have heard about more shootings in affluent neighborhoods, basically robberies, Washington DC being especially hit hard. What is happening is that major drug dealers who handle the big shipments of many kilos of coke are getting less and less supply, and this trickles down to the street hustler in a big way. The street hustler used to be able to rob his fellow gangster; they call it getting in a “lick” whereas they rob another gangster who they know has kilos of cocaine and big cash from nothing more than a simple word from the “Street”.   Continue reading “Gangsters Feeling the Pinch – Border Crackdown Means Less Drugs”

In the screenshot [below], Yair Rosenberg, writing in the Judaic Tablet magazine of Dec. 17 quotes an excerpt from Black poet Alice Walker’s “It is Our Frightful Duty to Study the Talmud,” and then announces that the poem is a “slander,” as well as a “malevolent attack of anti-Semitic origin.”

The egoism in his assault on her poetry shines forth like a blinding truck light. We are the deer frozen in the headlights of his ipse dixit.   Continue reading “Alice asks questions and the parrot replies, “Slanders of the Talmud are as old as the Talmud””

Mexico has agreed to a fundamental change on how it deals with migrants seeking asylum in the US. Instead of being allowed to cross into America, they will now be returned to Mexico to wait out the legal process, reports the AP.

The Homeland Security Department calls Mexico’s agreement to accept the migrants “historic,” while the Mexican government made clear that it viewed the move as a temporary one, reports the Washington Post.    Continue reading “Mexico Just Made a Big Change on Migrants”

For more than two decades, John Monem’s furniture store has been a staple of downtown Brockton, Massachusetts. But a week ago, city officials gave Monem an early Christmas present: a notice to vacate his property.

Brockton Furniture is currently located on the first floor of the tallest building in the city, 93 Centre Street. But in four months, Monem will be forced to relocate his business because the local government doesn’t think he has made enough of an effort to revitalize his own property.   Continue reading “Local Government Says Merry Christmas by Using Eminent Domain to Take Small Business Owner’s Building”

Just as some gun rights groups flip-flop on protecting the right to keep and bear arms from federal encroachment, so has Republican President Donald Trump. Not only has he ramped up federal gun control enforcement, but he has unilaterally implemented new federal gun control in the form of a bump stock ban.

As we’ve pointed before, the effectiveness of this policy is moot: the feds have no constitutional authority to restrict firearms.   Continue reading “Trump and Obama? A Tale Of Two Gun Control Proposals”

When the International Olympic Committee announced that Atlanta would host the 1996 Summer Olympics, security for such a massive event was an immediate concern.

As part of their preparation, local police traveled to Israel to learn about its security and counterterrorism strategies. In May alone, Israel saw a total of 684 “terrorist events,” according to an Israeli government website. By contrast, since 1980, there have been 11 notable terrorist attacks with fatalities on American soil. Continue reading “U.S. Police Under Pressure to End Their Relationship With Israel”

Should it be a crime to call public officials corrupt? Yes, according to the police in Exeter, New Hampshire. Earlier this year, they arrested a local man for writing a comment on a news website accusing Police Chief William Shupe of covering for a corrupt officer.

Robert Frese was accused of violating New Hampshire’s criminal defamation law, which makes it a misdemeanor to intentionally and falsely disparage another person. New Hampshire’s law — and others like it in 24 other states around the country — literally make it a crime to say mean things about people.   Continue reading “New Hampshire Police Arrested a Man for Being Mean to Them on the Internet”

Laws need to be changed to allow local law enforcement to more easily communicate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in regards to criminals in jail who are deemed violent, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said Wednesday.

Boudreaux was responding to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in which ICE said Monday’s “deadly rampage could have been prevented” if the agency had been notified of Junior “Gustavo” Garcia-Ruiz’s release from jail on Friday after he was arrested for a misdemeanor charge of being under the influence of a controlled substance.   Continue reading “Tulare County sheriff after rampage: Laws should be changed to better communicate with ICE”

Let’s see now, the three-faced con man, Donald Trump, declared $5 billion would be spent on the wall he promised the people.  He is now going to take the people’s wealth that is stolen from them through an act of treason and give $4.8 billion to Mexico so they can afford to aid the caravans coming from Central America, of which by the way, we are sending $5.8 billion to aid in the organizations of the caravans that are not going to stop coming.   Continue reading “The American Nationals for the united States of the Americas response to the United States Corporation’s Pledge of $10.6 Billion to Aid the Invasion into our Country”

Corporations will go to incredible lengths to dream up new ways to convince the public to accept government spying.

Take the Arlington Texas Department of Transportation’s (DOT) latest idea for example.

The Texas DOT is getting rid of HOV lane discounts and replacing them with customer rewards. Motorists are being forced to download an intrusive new “VeriRide” app that takes government snooping to a whole new level.   Continue reading “HOV lane discounts to be replaced with a customer rewards spying program”

The Trump administration is going around the lengthy farm bill negotiations to push for a rule that would force more people who enroll in food stamps to comply with work requirements, despite the fact that Republicans were unsuccessful in pushing the same measure through Congress.

Republicans have pushed for more work requirements for food stamp participants and for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to allow states to impose more requirements such as drug testing. But those requests were left out of the recently approved farm bill after Democrats refused to move forward with the changes and other GOP proposals.  Continue reading “Trump directs USDA to expand work requirements on food stamps”

These are the findings of my research in the CIA reading room. What we were told about Israel and US recognition and support can now be seen through the eyes of what President Truman knew. We are working on a comprehensive article on the entire backstory, but wanted to share these images with the world to show that what we at RTR have been saying is not based on emotion or beliefs, but facts. We are anti-Communists anti-totalitarian. Israel has been the greatest redistribution of wealth scheme known to man and below you will see that this was anything but the authentic need of refugees.  Continue reading “CIA Declassified Presidential Summary Reports 1946-1948 – Released Nov 2018 – Truman’s Treason In Recognizing Bolshevik Israel”

Calling President Trump’s bluff as the holiday looms, Congress worked to avert a government shutdown by sending him a budget bill funding federal operations for about seven weeks, postponing the fight over the billions he demands for a border wall.

The Senate late Wednesday, by voice vote, easily approved the stopgap spending bill to keep the government running through Feb. 8, with no money for the wall. The House plans to follow with a vote perhaps Thursday, to send the measure to the president before a Friday night deadline.

DENVER, December 19, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The Christian baker in Colorado who won a high-profile religious liberty case earlier this year is back in court, this time going on offense against the state officials he says are continuing to persecute him for refusing to create pro-LGBT products.

This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that Colorado officials had discriminated against the Masterpiece Cakeshop owner’s religious beliefs while trying to force him to bake a cake for a same-sex “wedding.” But on June 26, Autumn Scardina filed a complaint against Phillips for declining to bake a cake that would be pink on the inside and blue on the outside, to celebrate his “transition” from male to female.   Continue reading “Christian baker sues Colorado officials for pressuring him to make LGBT cakes”

When the White House said it was looking into “other ways” to fund Trump’s promised border wall after caving to the Democrats, maybe this is what they were talking about.

Shortly after the president decided he actually didn’t want a partial government shutdown and agreed to find a compromise with Democrats to keep the government funded through the holidays, military veteran and triple amputee Brian Kolfage launched a GoFundMe to try and raise money for the wall privately.
