SALEM, Ore. (AP) – Critics blasted a decision by Oregon lawmakers that killed a bill aimed at getting more children vaccinated for measles and other preventable diseases in order pass a tax on large businesses, saying it jeopardized public health.

The share of U.S. workers born outside the country rose again last year, hitting the highest level in decades, boosted by steady immigration and a drop in the native-born birthrate.

Foreign-born workers — those not born in the U.S. nor have U.S. citizens as parents — accounted for 17.5% of all U.S. employees in 2018, up from 17.1% in 2017, the Labor Department said Thursday. The category includes people born abroad who are now U.S. citizens, immigrants and those in the U.S. temporarily.  Continue reading “Foreign-Born Workers Make Up Highest Percentage of U.S. Employment Since 1996”

Albuquerque, NM — All too often we hear the police state apologist crowd tell those who advocate for police accountability that if people “don’t do anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about.” However, all too often, this is proven wrong as entirely innocent people are beaten, shot, or killed by cops and they did nothing wrong. As the following case illustrates, being entirely innocent is no defense from police kicking in your door and forcing their K-9 to tear you to shreds.

In a column dated August 10, 2017, I wrote a piece entitled The Truth About Donald Trump. In the column I documented the truth about Trump’s lifetime conduct. In short: Continue reading “TRUMP LIED!”

Houston, TX — The murder of an innocent Houston couple made national headlinesearlier this year as police took to smearing their names and threatening those who didn’t believe their official narrative. As the months passed, we learned that the Houston police department’s raid on the home of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas was based on lies and they were murdered for no reason. Now, the case has reached turning point after the family hired a forensics expert to examine the home and found that there is no evidence the officers encountered gunfire.  Continue reading “Forensics Investigation Finds Cops Shot Each Other, Then Murdered Houston Couple”
