The border crisis is no longer exclusively a problem of illegal Central American migrants. As word spreads of the collapse of border enforcement, the number of migrants from Africa continues to increase. The threat of bringing in dangerous diseases is higher than ever, yet there are no mandatory and universal screenings, quarantines, or detention before illegal immigrants are released into our communities, often within hours.

The Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives continues its push to pass their entire legislative agenda ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Here’s the deal. The truth is anti-Semitic.

Understand this. The truth is one thing, the Jewish version of the truth is quite another.

The lies our governments vomit forth have been cleansed. They are now free of all charges against the Jews. Which do you choose to believe? The actual truth, or the non anti-Semitic version of the truth. Continue reading “Truth ruled anti-Semitic”

Chemotherapy is so dangerous that it really should not be called medicine. In the short-term, it has debilitating side effects including stomach and muscle pain, mouth ulcers, headaches, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, nervous system disruptions, loss of appetite and hair loss.

Then there are the long-term effects, which are even more serious, and can include heart, liver, lung, kidney or reproductive system damage, as well as “chemo brain” – permanent memory, concentration and thinking problems. Experts also warn that chemotherapy greatly increases the risk of secondary cancers later in life.  Continue reading “Chemo drugs are dangerous to families and healthcare workers as well as patients”

Phenix City, AL — The taxpayers of Phenix, Alabama will likely soon be held liable for police misconduct after dashcam was released showing officers rip an innocent man from his vehicle and brutally beat him for no reason. The man’s only crime was driving a truck similar to another truck suspected of a DUI.

According to a recent lawsuit, Michael Elias Ruda had harmed no one and was simply driving down the road when police officers mistook him for an alleged DUI suspect and pulled him over.  Continue reading “Cops Mistake Innocent Man for Suspect, Drag Him From Truck, Beat Him to a Pulp”

Iberville, LA — Over the past few years, the Free Thought Project has reported on utterly horrific crimes perpetrated by police officers against society’s most vulnerable. From children to the elderly, no demographic is left safe. However, a case out of Iberville Parish in Louisiana is at the top of the list for the most disturbing things we’ve ever seen. An on-duty cop forced a mother to perform oral sex on her one-year-old son — while he filmed it to make child porn — by threatening to arrest her if she refused.  Continue reading “Cop Arrested for Forcing Woman to Perform Sex Act With Her Infant to Make Child Porn”

President Trump’s trade war has produced a logistical nightmare for American importers at Southern California ports.

Marisa Bedrosian Kosters, an executive at an Anaheim, Calif.-based ceramic tile and stone retailer, like any other retailer when they heard trade war last year, pulled demand forward by ordering additional product to get ahead of the tariffs and other duties, reported The Gazette.  Continue reading “Trade War Nightmare Causes Logistical Hell For Los Angeles Ports”

Israeli intelligence arm Mossad has worked with the BDS-fighting Strategic Affairs Ministry to counter the international Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement, government diaries reveal.

The Strategic Affairs Ministry has been referred to as Israel’s ‘anti-BDS start up,’ and was behind the blacklist of 20 international BDS groups. It also set up the secretive Kella Shlomo corporation –now called Concert– with $36 million in government funding to carry out covert “mass awareness activities” and online engagement efforts to counter boycotts supporting Palestinians and the “delegitimization” of Israel.  Continue reading “Israeli minister’s diaries reveal Mossad involvement in anti-BDS push abroad”

Shortly after Phil Sims became the sheriff of Marshall County, Alabama, at 12 a.m. on Jan. 14, he found a cardboard box in a storage closet containing five government-issued smartphones, each with multiple holes drilled clear through them.

It was the first time Sims had been allowed to enter the sheriff’s office, a red-brick building overlooking Lake Guntersville, a foggy bass-fishing mecca, since he defeated longtime Sheriff J. Scott Walls in the June primary election.  Continue reading “Wasted Funds, Destroyed Property: How Sheriffs Undermined Their Successors After Losing Reelection”

Earlier this year, a U.S. congressional committee commissioned a report on China’s development of “smart cities,” with a particular focus on whether they were smarter than their American counterparts.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s (USCC) request for submissions was revealing because it showed that, despite the hype, not much is known about the fruits of China’s efforts to build such cities. Smart cities are highly digitally connected and use the latest technology to manage services.  Continue reading “The Dark Side to China’s Smart Cities: Everyone’s Being Watched”

Yusef Salaam was 15 years old when Donald Trump demanded his execution for a crime he did not commit.

Nearly three decades before the rambunctious billionaire began his run for president – before he called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, for the expulsion of all undocumented migrants, before he branded Mexicans as “rapists” and was accused of mocking the disabled – Trump called for the reinstatement of the death penalty in New York following a horrific rape case in which five teenagers were wrongly convicted.
