Overcrowding at Border Patrol stations in South Texas has become so acute in recent days that U.S. authorities have taken the rare step of using aircraft to relocate migrants to other areas of the border simply to begin processing them, according to three Homeland Security officials.

The first flight left McAllen, Texas, on Friday, transferring detainees to Border Patrol facilities in Del Rio, Texas. There are daily flights scheduled for the next several days, with two planned for Tuesday, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the operations.  Continue reading “Border detention cells in Texas are so overcrowded that US is using aircraft to move migrants”

End of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder

It has been quite a year.  In March, catastrophic flooding in the Midwest absolutely crippled thousands of farms and “as many as a million calves” were lost in Nebraska alone.  Then in April we learned that African Swine Fever has wiped out “150-200 million pigs” in China.  To put that in perspective, that is more pigs than the entire U.S. pork industry produces in an entire year.  And now on top of everything else, the price of fresh tomatoes is about to go skyrocketing.  But this time a natural disaster is not to blame.  Instead, it is an action by the federal government that is going to cause us to pay much more for tomatoes at the supermarket.  The following comes from USA Today… Continue reading “It Is Being Projected That U.S. Consumers Will “Pay 40% To 85% More For Vine-Ripe And Other Fresh Tomatoes” By The End Of 2019”

Joe Biden is being called out for immigration virtue-signaling after a video of the Democratic candidate calling for a fence “40 stories high” at the US-Mexican border to keep out the Mexicans bringing in drugs resurfaced.

“I voted for a fence,” Biden boasts in the video, unearthed by CNN, before launching into a rant against “American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in fact, they hire illegals” and “people driving across that border with tons, tons, hear me, tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin and it’s all coming up through corrupt Mexico.”  Continue reading “Biden caught in immigration hypocrisy after rediscovered clip shows him demanding border fence”

CARACAS, VENEZUELA — As the political crisis in Venezuela has unfolded, much has been said about the Trump administration’s clear interest in the privatization and exploitation of Venezuela’s oil reserves, the largest in the world, by American oil giants like Chevron and ExxonMobil.

Yet the influence of another notorious American company, Monsanto — now a subsidiary of Bayer — has gone largely unmentioned.  Continue reading “How GMO Seeds and Monsanto/Bayer’s “RoundUp” are Driving US Policy in Venezuela”

A Rhode Island school district has established a controversial new policy to stop serving hot lunches to students with outstanding lunch debts.

On May 5, Gels Kitchen restaurant owner Angelica Penta, whose son goes to a school in the district, shared a screenshot on Facebook of an email from Warwick Public Schools stating that effective May 13, children who have outstanding lunch debts will be provided a “sun[flower seed] butter and jelly sandwich until the balance owed is paid in full or a payment plan is set up.” Students with no debt, however, will be served hot lunches.  Continue reading “US School District to Single Out Students With Lunch Debts, Deny Them Hot Meals”

A federal appeals court has handed the Trump administration a victory over the controversial asylum process and an immigration attorney says the ruling could slow the flow of illegal aliens.

The notoriously left-wing 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled May 7 that the United States can require asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for a court hearing, a decision that overturned a San Francisco judge that said they could remain in the U.S.  Continue reading “Trump wins surprise asylum ruling from liberal 9th Circuit”

A report from The College Fix revealed that a course at the University of North Texas is taking a bizarre stance on the sexuality of young children. The course, which is entitled “Psychology and Sexual Behavior,” has been criticized for an alleged lesson on “sexual pleasure” in “infants.” Photos from the classroom show a PowerPoint presentation with the title “Sexual Pleasure and Response in Infants.”  Continue reading “University of North Texas Course Teaches Students About ‘Sexual Pleasure’ for Infants”

New York state has steadily passed legislation in recent days that seeks to limit the president’s pardon powers and curtail his ability to withhold his tax returns from Congress.

A few weeks ago a Boeing jet was maneuvering near an airport when it abruptly nosedived and plowed into the ground at tremendous speed, killing everyone aboard. This was not the Ethiopian Airlines crash on March 10 that has transfixed the world, however. It was an American plane, a 767, and its destruction in a muddy bay near Houston remains even more mysterious and, consequently, potentially more disturbing in its long-term implications.  Continue reading “The Recent Deadly Boeing Crash No One Is Talking About”

An untypical high-level meeting was convened at the headquarters of the United States Central Intelligence Agency last week to discuss Iran, according to NBC News. The meeting, which NBC described as “highly unusual” was convened by President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser John Bolton. Participants allegedly included Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, CIA Director Gina Haspel, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joe Dunford. Citing “six current US officials”, NBC said the meeting was held at 7 a.m. on Monday, April 29, in Langley, Virginia.  Continue reading “‘Unusual’ high-level meeting held at CIA headquarters to discuss Iran, say sources”

The terror atrocity of 9/11 did not simply fall out of the clear blue sky. It was meticulously planned over decades and carried out to achieve a specific goal. The main purpose of the terror attacks was to start the War on Terror – the longest and most expensive war in U.S. history.

9/11 and the War on Terror are linked plots that were designed to trick us into accepting the open-ended wars we have been engaged in since September 2001. As I explain in my book The War on Terror: The Plot to Rule the Middle East, both plots were hatched by Israeli military intelligence to bring the U.S. military into the Middle East to wage war against the enemies of the Zionist state.  Continue reading “Netanyahu’s Terrorist Party and 9/11”

North Dakota quietly decriminalized marijuana earlier this month, making it the 25th state to do so.

As the news outlet Marijuana Moment and the advocacy group NORML reported, Republican Gov. Doug Burgum signed a bill decriminalizing marijuana last week — but the issue got little to no attention from his office or news media. The law makes it so first-time possession of up to half an ounce of marijuana is no longer a criminal misdemeanor that carries the potential for jail time, but instead is an infraction that only carries a fine.  Continue reading “North Dakota quietly decriminalized marijuana”

For years, we have commented on the Swedish government and the Riksbank pushing for a“cashless society.”

The Riksbank has over 1,000 articles posted on its website on the “cashless society“. The emphasis worked: between 2013 and 2017, the amount of cash in circulation dropped by 35%, earning Sweden a reputation as the world’s “most cashless nation”:   Continue reading ““Cashless” Sweden Suddenly Warns Citizens: Hoard Banknotes & Coins In Case Of Cyber-Attack Or War”
