Brunei could start whipping or stoning gay people to death next week when strict new laws are introduced, human rights groups have warned.

The tiny oil-rich nation already implements Sharia laws, with homosexuality punishable with up to ten years in prison.  Continue reading “Gay sex and adultery will be punishable by stoning to death and thieves will be amputated under ‘vicious’ new Sharia laws brought in by Brunei”

A beautiful woman, a beautiful soul, a beautiful life.

My mom passed away today at 2:00pm. My brother Steve and I were there at her bedside along with one of the home health aides Karen. Tomorrow after my doctor appointment, I will be going to the funeral home to make arrangements. A beautiful woman, a beautiful life. Thank you to everyone at the Trenches for all the love, support, thoughts and prayers.

Rest in peace Susie Theresa (Festa) Sammarco, December 23, 1932 to March 27, 2019

The eight year anniversary of the triple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility passed mostly without comment in mainstream media circles. In spite of ongoing radiological contamination that will continue to spread and threaten human health for lifetimes to come, other stories dominate the international news cycle. The climate change conundrum, serious though it may be, seemingly crowds out all other clear and present environmental hazards.

As part of efforts to normalize this historic event and cover it up in its magnitude, the Japanese government has invested considerable financial, public relations and other resources into what they are billing the ‘Recovery Olympics‘ set to take place in a year’s time in Tokyo.    Continue reading “Fukushima: “An Ongoing Global Radiological Catastrophe”. “A Huge Coverup”.”

The Parkland Shooting and everything surrounding it is getting very strange and eerie. There is an undertone that is like a boulder in the pit of my stomach. Obfuscation and court orders not being followed. Fired Sheriff and “resigning” deputies. Investigations initiated on Principals a year later. The alleged shooter’s attorney not provided discovery and now the Florida House and Senate trying to bury body cam footage, testimony, witness statements. Oddly timed suicides of survivors that had at first instance testified that there were multiple shooters. The fact that both, the most recent suicide casualty and Sydney Aiello were subpoenaed by the defense of Cruz to be interviewed according to unconfirmed sources. All within the span of one week while Cruz’s defense complains lack of discovery on Friday in a heated exchange with the Judge. Lastly, stranger than fiction is a GoFundMe for the family of Sydney Aiello that was started by Sheriff Israel’s kids! Continue reading “Parkland Shooting, Suicides, Subpoenas & Shady Situations”

(Bloomberg) — The bad news is that almost half of Americans approaching retirement have nothing saved in a 401(k) or other individual account. The good news is that the new estimate, from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, is slightly better than a few years earlier.

Of those 55 and older, 48 percent had nothing put away in a 401(k)-style defined contribution plan or an individual retirement account, according to a GAO estimate for 2016 that was released Tuesday. That’s an improvement from the 52 percent without retirement money in 2013.  Continue reading “Half of Older Americans Have Nothing in Retirement Savings”

While the right to keep and bear arms is confirmed in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, in essence each state will determine the extent to which the right applies within its borders. (Don’t blame me – it just is what it is.) For what it’s worth, state laws also are applicable to the legality of carrying a gun in your truck across state lines, which makes the practice as complicated as it sounds.

Many fleets have long prohibited bringing guns onto their property, claiming such a policy increases safety. Also, they simply felt that they should be able to control what is allowed on their private property.  Continue reading “Trucking law: Your gun rights on private property”

After millions of dead calves in Nebraska, now thousands of tons of grain lost in Iowa! Flood waters are causing havoc in some mid-western states – Iowa; Illinois; Missouri; Kansas; South Dakota; Minnesota; and Nebraska – and have resulted in an estimated $3 billion in damages so far. The video below by Iowa resident Gracie Newman shows just a fraction of the losses that have been incurred as a result of the unprecedented flooding.

As can be seen from the video, at this location alone, at least five bins have burst, destroying thousands of tons of grain.   Continue reading “Let’s talk about food SHORTAGE: US grain bins collapse under catastrophic Iowa floods”

Due to a literal black out of all news related to the ongoing wars waged by the U.S. military, most Americans cannot name the nations in which the military is currently engaged in conflict or dropping bombs. The average American does not realize the U.S. is still involved in conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia. A new report from Amnesty International, a non-governmental organization focused on human rights, attempts to provide a little more clarity regarding what exactly is happening right now in Somalia.  Continue reading “US Killed at Least 14 Civilians in a Country Most Americans Don’t Know the US is Bombing”

During Tuesday’s hearing on confiscatory red flag laws, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, “every right has limits.”

Graham supports red flag laws, and in early March, he told CNN the confiscatory laws represent a place Republicans and Democrats can “come together” on gun control. Ironically, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) was able to use the hearing as a venue in which to promote her “Extreme Risk Protection Order of 2019.” Continue reading “Lindsey Graham on Gun Confiscation Laws: ‘Every Right Has Limits’”
