Two years to the day after the start of the deadly, wind-fueled 2017 North Bay fires, PG&E on Tuesday said it was preparing to shut down power to large portions of the state in anticipation of a wind event just as severe but more widespread.

The shutdown, which will affect nearly 800,000 customers across 34 counties, was set to begin as soon as midnight in some areas, and could last up to five days in some areas, depending how quickly PG&E can inspect lines and equipment and bring its system back online.  Continue reading “PG&E: Wind storm prompting massive power shutdown could be worst since 2017 North Bay fires”

A Harvard psychologist questioned President Donald Trump’s mental health after the U.S. leader’s claim to have unmatched wisdom and his threat to destroy Turkey’s economy.

Trump made the comments amid bipartisan criticism of his military withdrawal from Syria, paving the way for Turkey to invade and attack the armed Kurdish groups that the U.S. had allied with against the Islamic State terror outfit. Turkey views Kurdish fighters as terrorists.  Continue reading “Harvard Psychologist Says Donald Trump’s Claims About Destroying Turkey’s Economy Would ‘Normally Trigger A Mental Health Hold’”

Vaccines are routinely formulated with aborted human fetal cells known as MRC-5 and WI-38. The CDC openly lists some of the vaccines that use these “human diploid” cells, including Twinrix (Hep A / Hep B), ProQuad (MMRV) and Varivax (Varicella / chicken pox). FDA-published vaccine insert sheets such as this one for Varivax also openly admit to the use of aborted human fetal cell lines such as MRC-5:  Continue reading “MEDICAL HORROR: Genetic sequencing of common vaccine finds entire male human genome from aborted human baby… “a complete individual genome” with abnormal, modified genes… 560 genes linked to cancer”

The Chinese government newspaper Global Times warned “global brands” to “make their members speak cautiously” on Chinese political issues Monday in response to an ongoing controversy following an NBA executive lending support to pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey triggered a Communist Party-fabricated firestorm this weekend by simply tweeting “fight for freedom; stand with Hong Kong,” a message intended to lend support to the peaceful anti-communist movement that has held regular protests there since June.  Continue reading “China Warns Brands to Accept Communism, Freedom of Speech ‘Ridiculous’”

Baltimore, MD — The Baltimore police department is arguably one of the most corrupt and violent departments in the country. From planting guns and drugs to shooting innocent people, the BPD is constantly in the news for all the wrong reasons. As the following case illustrates, all this negative press doesn’t seem to serve as any kind of deterrent for future criminal behavior—especially considering that this criminal is the city’s highest paid employee.   Continue reading “Cop Making $260K a Year, Caught on Video Beating Innocent Man for Saying the Ground is Wet”

De’andre Sommervile made a mistake that a lot of 21-year-olds have probably made at one point or another: He overslept for an important appointment.

In July, when President Donald Trump was in the Oval Office with the Dutch prime minister, he took a few moments to answer questions from reporters. His comments, in typical fashion, covered disparate subjects—from job creation to the “squad” of congresswomen he attacks regularly to sanctions against Turkey. Then a reporter asked him about an obscure Pentagon contract called JEDI, and whether he planned to intervene in it.  Continue reading “Meet America’s newest military giant: Amazon”

As 2018 came to an end, politicians and media pundits insisted that ” gun violence ” was growing and hitting crisis levels .

While a homicide rate of anything greater than zero is an measure of very-real human misery, it nonetheless turns out that fewer people were murdered in 2018 than in the year before. Moreover, 2018 was the second year in a row during which the homicide rate declined.  Continue reading “Homicides in the US Fall for Second Year as Murder Rate Drops in 38 States”
