Before US Vice President Mike Pence took the podium to address the sailors of the USS Harry S. Truman Tuesday, the members of the armed forces were reportedly given particularly puzzling instruction on how to welcome the VP.

On Tuesday afternoon, Pence traveled to Norfolk Naval Base in Norfolk, Virginia, to deliver a message from US President Donald Trump while also recognizing the 2,000-plus missions the USS Harry S. Truman and its 7,500 sailors have been a part of in the past year.  Continue reading “US Navy Sailors Told to Clap Like They’re ‘at a Strip Club’ for Pence”

Perhaps as many as a hundred million people were victims of communism in the last century, deliberately rounded up, shot, starved, or simply forced to march into snowy wasteland until dead, exterminated by communist regimes.  Continue reading “May 1: Victims of Communism Day | Ten Films to Honor the Dead”

Jewish Racism – by Christopher Jon Bjerknes

I do not know what caused the fire at Notre Dame. Maybe it was an electrical short. My memories of it are also aflame. I seem to recall that it would have been easy for someone to scale the structure near the flying buttresses, or to launch some sort of incendiary missile from outside the building into the bell tower, but these are vague and old memories.

This is the Dayenu for President Trump, based on the simple realization that there has never been a president as pro-Israel as Trump, and it is almost unthinkable that there will ever be another.

Let us count the ways, individual acts for which alone we would sing Dayenu, “it would have been enough:”  Continue reading “The Trump “Dayenu””

Personnel of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division arrived in Ukraine on May 2, as part of the Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine (JMTG-U) mission. They deployed to the International Center For Peacekeeping and Security in Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine.

Over 130 soldiers from the division’s 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team “Strike” have replaced the Tennessee Army National Guard 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment, which had been providing training to Ukraine’s troops at the center, commonly known as the Yavoriv training range, since August 2018.  Continue reading “US Army 101st Airborne soldiers deploy to Ukraine”

Since the beginning of the year, the Free Thought Project has been reporting on the hysteria associated with the measles outbreak and the subsequent loss of liberties and police state crackdown that’s ensued. We’ve seen children banned from public spaces,mandatory vaccinations, and a pro-vaccine push in the mainstream media like we’ve never seen before. Now, the pro-mandatory vaccine push has reached a new level, as the Washington Post published an article calling for the arrest of those who choose not to vaccinate.  Continue reading “Mainstream Media Now Calling for the Arrest of “Antivaxxers””

NEW LEGISLATION PROPOSED by Rep. Betty McCollum, a Minnesota Democrat, would ban Israel from using any of the billions of dollars in military assistance it receives from the United States every year to pay for the detention, interrogation, or torture of Palestinian children living under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank.

Israel’s military typically arrests and prosecutes 500 to 700 Palestinian children between the ages of 12 and 17 each year, subjecting them to coercive interrogation, physical violence, and trials in military courts that lack basic guarantees of due process.

Juan Guaido has initiated a violent uprising in an attempt to overthrow Nicolas Maduro, and it appears that the U.S. may be preparing to intervene in the conflict militarily.  The USNI News Fleet and Marine Tracker accurately tracks the current positions of U.S. naval assets, and according to them the USS Dwight D.

Maine could soon prohibit parents from citing religious or personal beliefs to avoid vaccinating their children, making the U.S. state one of a half dozen cracking down during the nations’ largest measles outbreak in 25 years.

State legislatures in New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, Minnesota and Iowa, are looking at similar bills, that would only allow exemptions from vaccinations for medical reasons as determined by the child’s doctor.  Continue reading “As measles returns, U.S. states look to cut vaccine exemptions”

Mark Boyle hasn’t switched on a light for three years. Nor has he boiled a kettle, bunged on a wash, turned on the oven, or the radio, vacuumed, cheered on his favourite football team on the TV, listened to any recorded music, sent an email, made a phone call or updated his social media.

Not because he’s lazy, but because, in December 2016, he pledged to live technology-free. On his banned list was anything that requires power or ‘an ongoing energy input’.  Continue reading “Now THAT’S switching off! He’s a modern-day Robinson Crusoe who lives without power”
