The Federalist – by Willis L. Krumholz

President Trump ran for office arguing America isn’t fairly compensated for the defense we provide our wealthy allies. The current focus of this campaign pledge is South Korea.

Under a preliminary deal reached last week, South Korea will boost the annual payment it makes to support the U.S. military presence there from $800 million to about $1 billion. To the many critics who accuse President Trump of tearing down the international order, even requesting more money from allies is wrong. But South Korea should pay substantively more.

Zero Hedge – by John Whitehead

There’s absolutely no evidence to support the statement that [America is] the greatest country in the world. We’re 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, 3rd in median household income, number 4 in labor force and number 4 in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real and defense spending, where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined, 25 of whom are allies… Continue reading “Whitehead: Is It Too Late For Non-Violent Means To Restore American Liberty?”

Rod Rosenstein has been doling out over $24 million in taxpayer funds to state bureaucrats in Nevada and California under the guise of ‘helping’ the victims of the Mandalay Bay massacre shooting.

Today he announced a new award of over $8 million to assist victims in California but the funds, like a previous $16 million Nevada, do not go directly to the victims. It goes to law enforcement and state boards who can give it to victims — or anyone else — they see fit.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (KTVU) – Theresa Smith has been trying to unseal all the records into her son’s death for the last decade. And last month, the city of Anaheim, Calif. said that would finally be possible — as long as she put down a deposit of  $3,000.

“Are they crazy?” Smith asked. “We had to scrape by just to pay for a funeral. I certainly can’t come up with that kind of money.”    Continue reading “California city charging $3,000 deposit to mother seeking records after son killed by police”

BLACKOUT.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been missing from the Supreme Court for over a month and now we find out that the premiere news networks in the country have been told to keep any and all Intel related to Ginsburg’s health out of the news.

Media contacts at ABC News and the Washington Post report that Ginsburg health stories have been put on a no-fly list by editors. And at least one FOX News journalist privately asserts that the network is not interested in a Ginsburg Watch feature either.   Continue reading “Ruth Bader Blackout”

Today is the one-year anniversary of Parkland HS shooting.

Ultimately, the Parkland school psyop occurred to protect the Rothschild monopoly on government credit by promoting an incremental ban on guns, the main obstacle to the imposition of Communism in the US today.    Continue reading “What is Communism? (Anti-Gun Psyops in Perspective)”

A bird hopping outside the window lately is the strangest that Shirley and Jeffrey Caldwell have ever seen.

Its left side is the taupe shade of female cardinals; its right, the signature scarlet of males.

Researchers believe that the cardinal frequenting the Caldwells’ bird feeder in Erie, Pa., is a rare bilateral gynandromorph, half male and half female. Not much is known about the unusual phenomenon, but this sexual split has been reported among birds, reptiles, butterflies and crustaceans.

Untraceable plastic guns have yet to become a problem in Rhode Island, and a state lawmaker wants to keep it that way by banning the creation of 3D printed firearms.

Sen. Cynthia Coyne, a Barrington Democrat, has introduced a bill that would make it illegal to “manufacture, import, sell, ship, deliver, possess, transfer, or receive” any gun that can’t be detected by common airport screenings, or one that is made entirely though 3D printing.   Continue reading “Senate bill would ban 3D-printed guns in R.I.”

End of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder

Almost everyone that goes out to visit one of our major cities on the west coast has a similar reaction.  Those that must live among the escalating decay are often numb to it, but most of those that are just in town for a visit are absolutely shocked by all of the trash, human defecation, crime and public drug use that they encounter.  Once upon a time, our beautiful western cities were the envy of the rest of the world, but now they serve as shining examples of America’s accelerating decline.  Continue reading “Rats, Public Defecation And Open Drug Use: Our Major Western Cities Are Becoming Uninhabitable Hellholes”
