The gathering at a park gazebo in Huntsville, Ala., was by no means the largest of Saturday’s nationwide protests against President Trump’s “zero tolerance” border policies, though it was memorable for other reasons.

It began around noon, as an Episcopal priest delivered a prayer to about 100 protesters gathered around the gazebo and a man marched back and forth in front of her, shouting “womp, womp!”   Continue reading “Man arrested after shouting ‘womp, womp’ and pulling a gun on immigration protesters”

In the failing light of an unusually warm January day, Jerry Erstrom and I race along a dirt track behind Rod Frahm’s white pickup. Here, near Ontario, Oregon, a stone’s throw from the Idaho border, Frahm grows onions, squash and corn. But today, he wants to show us something he’s growing against his will: a genetically engineered turfgrass designed for golf courses.

Frahm slams on the brakes next to a dry irrigation ditch, jumps out and yanks up a clump, winter-brown but laced with new green shoots. Beneath his gray fedora, his dark eyes glint with anger as he holds out the scraggly specimen. “I have it in a lot of my ditches,” he says.   Continue reading “GMO grass is creeping across Oregon”

Aurora, MO – Initial reports claimed that a young mother was shot and killed after she attempted to run over a police officer, but her family is now speaking out and claiming that she was actually attempting to help police, and was tragically killed in an operation gone wrong.

Savannah Hill, 21, was killed last month after it was reported that she was driving a vehicle that struck an officer during a traffic stop, while police were attempting to arrest Mason Farris, 19, who was in the car with her.

WASHINGTON, DC – President Trump has whittled his Supreme Court list from 25 down to 7 names and will announce a final decision on July 9.

The president has repeatedly said he will choose candidates from his “List.” That list began with 11 names in May 2016 when he was a candidate, and it became a central feature of his presidential campaign. He expanded the list in September 2016 during the general election campaign when he was the Republican nominee, adding 10 names to bring the total to 21.   Continue reading “Trump Considering Up to Seven Names for Supreme Court”

Gunfire erupted as Iranian security forces confronted protesters early Sunday amid demonstrations over water scarcity in the country’s south, violence that authorities said wounded at least 11 people, mostly police.

The protests around Khorramshahr, some 650 kilometers (400 miles) southwest of Tehran, come as residents of the predominantly Arab city near the border with Iraq complain of salty, muddy water coming out of their taps amid a yearslong drought.  Continue reading “Gunfire, clashes amid Iran protests over water scarcity”

Quotations from several speeches made on the Floor of the House of Representatives by the Honorable Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania. Mr. McFadden, due to his having served as Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee for more than 10 years, was the best posted man on these matters in America and was in a position to speak with authority of the vast ramifications of this gigantic private credit monopoly. As Representative of a State which was among the first to declare its freedom from foreign money tyrants it is fitting that Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, be again given the credit for producing a son that was not afraid to hurl defiance in the face of the money-bund. Whereas Mr. McFadden was elected to the high office on both the Democratic and Republican tickets, there can be no accusation of partisanship lodged against him. Because these speeches are set out in full in the Congressional Record, they carry weight that no amount of condemnation on the part of private individuals could hope to carry.  Continue reading “Congressman McFadden on the Federal Reserve Corporation Remarks in Congress, 1934”

BOISE, Idaho — A man who had been asked to leave an apartment complex in Boise returned the next day and stabbed children celebrating a 3-year-old girl’s birthday, authorities said Sunday. Six children, ages four to 12, were injured in the attack, along with three adults who rushed to their defense. Boise Police Chief William Bones said the victims are alive but some are gravely injured.

A resident of the apartment complex where the stabbing took place had allowed 30-year-old Timmy Kinner to stay there a short time, but asked him to leave Friday because of his behavior, Bones said. Kinner returned Saturday, when the girl was having her party a few doors down from where he had stayed, according to police.    Continue reading “Idaho mass stabbing: Suspect accused of targeting 3-year-old’s birthday party”

Spending a penny could become rather revealing after the invention of an ‘intelligent’ lavatory that could alert parents if their children are taking drugs, or employers if their staff have had a boozy lunch.

Scientists at Cambridge University are developing a loo that analyses urine by using revolutionary nano technology to track chemical and hormonal changes.   Continue reading “Big Brother is watching loo: Fears over ‘smart’ lavatory that can test users for drugs, pregnancy and urine problems”

Utah man Samuel Shaffer dreamed of growing old with the 8-year-old he took as his child bride — but the leader of a doomsday cult will now be aging behind bars.

Shaffer, 34, was convicted Wednesday on one count of rape of a child and one count of child sodomy. According to multiple reports, he was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison — and Utah State Courts spokesman Geoff Fattah tells PEOPLE he will spend a minimum of 26 years behind bars.   Continue reading “Utah Men Married Each Other’s 7- And 8-Year-Old Daughters — As One Is Sentenced To Prison”

WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency is deleting more than 685 million call records the government obtained since 2015 from telecommunication companies in connection with investigations, raising questions about the viability of the program.

The NSA’s bulk collection of call records was initially curtailed by Congress after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked documents revealing extensive government surveillance. The law, enacted in June 2015, said that going forward, the data would be retained by telecommunications companies, not the NSA, but that the intelligence agency could query the massive database.   Continue reading “NSA deleting more than 685 million call records”
