Ronald S. Lauder, the cosmetics billionaire and president of the World Jewish Congress, is setting aside $25 million of his own money to start a new organization devoted to rooting out what he sees as the growing tide of anti-Semitism in American politics.

Mr. Lauder is a longtime Republican donor, but he said he planned to use the organization to go after both Democrats and Republicans who traffic in anti-Semitic language and tropes. The effort, to be called the Anti-Semitism Accountability Project, or A.S.A.P, will consist of both a nonprofit and a super PAC, with Mr. Lauder as the final arbiter of which politicians will be targeted for defeat.

The House will vote Wednesday to approve or reject a bill that offers fraud-prone amnesty for illegal migrants who claim to have worked on a farm.

The H-2A migrants could bring their families, and also apply for green cards.  Continue reading “House Sets Wednesday Vote for Farmworker Amnesty, Creation of Powerless Workforce”

In 2020,  the US Army will be carrying out its biggest deployment in 25 years into Europe. The deployment will send 20,000 US troops, and 13,000 pieces of equipment across Europe for wargames beginning in May and running through June.

With all the “measles outbreaks” that brought national headlines earlier this year, and resulted in many states introducing legislation to force vaccinate the public and remove vaccine exemptions for school-age children, one thing the national corporate-sponsored “mainstream” media failed to report, is that the only vaccine available in the U.S. for measles has been involved in an 9-year long legal battle for fraud, due to Merck’s own scientists who helped develop the vaccine becoming whistleblowers.
