Asked if she was “moving in the direction of politics,” Angelina Jolie suggested Friday that she would consider running for public office in the future if “I’m needed” but added that she would prefer to focus on her work with refugees and women’s rights.

“Honestly, if you asked me 20 years ago, I would’ve laughed. I really don’t know. I always say I’ll go where I’m needed. I don’t know if I’m fit for politics. But then I’ve also joked that I don’t know if I have a skeleton left in my closet, so I’m pretty open and out there,” the actress, director and humanitarian activist told the BBC while serving as a guest editor of its morning radio show “Today.” “I can take a lot on the chin, so that’s good.”   Continue reading “Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Rule Out Running For Public Office”

Mullein is a pretty easy herb to come by. It grows in “waste” places; that is to say, in arid, rocky, or sandy soil without many nutrients. It is a pretty common sight all over the United States and is actually considered a nuisance by many, although it was brought to the U.S. from Europe in the 1700s for its medicinal value. Its scientific name is Verbascum thapsus,and it is a biennial, meaning that it takes two years to complete its life-cycle.   Continue reading “The Healing Properties of Mullein – Especially During the Cold and Flu Season”

Queen Elizabeth of England delivered her annual Christmas message this year and is receiving some much-deserved backlash for it on social media for being completely “out of touch.”

The British monarch, whose family will confiscate $96 million dollars from its English taxpayers to pay for their cost of living in their castle this year, delivered her message this year urging her subjects to come together and treat each other with respect.   Continue reading “Twitter Bashes Queen Over Video In Front of Gold Piano Urging ‘Subjects’ to Pull Together”

President Trump has harshly criticized the Federal Reserve in recent weeks for inching up the standard interest rate to guard against rising inflation and threatening the four percent economic growth rate the billionaire likes to brag about.

Here’s another reason: The higher interest rates on your credit card balances and car loans also apply to the federal government’s borrowing.   Continue reading “A Stunner: National Debt Interest Will Soon Exceed National Defense Spending”

Nation states must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty”, according to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who told an audience in Berlin that sovereign nation states must not listen to the will of their citizens when it comes to questions of immigration, borders, or even sovereignty.

No this wasn’t something Adolf Hitler said many decades ago, this is what German Chancellor Angela Merkel told attendants at an event by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Berlin. Merkel has announced she won’t seek re-election in 2021 and it is clear she is attempting to push the globalist agenda to its disturbing conclusion before she stands down.   Continue reading “Angela Merkel: Nation States Must “Give Up Sovereignty” To New World Order”

Hundreds, or even thousands, of migrant families are set to be released from government detention along the US-Mexico border over the next several days. But while the mass release of families may cheer critics of the Trump administration’s treatment of immigrant families, the government’s new plan will probably lead to hundreds of families getting dropped off en masse at bus stations — literally out in the cold.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency that’s generally responsible for immigrant detention, has already started mass releases of hundreds of families a day.  Continue reading “Trump administration to release hundreds of immigrant families from detention”
