Freedom Outpost – by Tony Eliot

We know our so-called elected officials in the House and Senate do not work for the best interests of their constituents they are supposed to represent and, in fact, they rule over them without any trace of representation when they want to force a government shutdown to protect some 8 million DACA illegals.

Rather than simply pass a budget, they would rather shut the government down and force everyone who is paid by the US government to go without for however long a time it takes to approve protection for DACA illegals.   Continue reading “It’s Time To Rid Our Country Of Treasonous Dog Politicians Who Put Welfare Of Illegals Before US Citizens”

Last weekend, residents of Hawaii were terrified when they were abruptly awakened by a message on their phones and televisions warning them that a missile was inbound and that they should seek shelter immediately. For 38 long minutes, residents were certain that they were about to die. Few were prepared.

For some, the panic was so intense that they were shoving their children into storm drains, screaming, and crying. One man suffered a massive heart attack. (Here’s how to prepare a shelter to go to in the event of a real missile warning.)  Continue reading “What If the Hawaii Missile Attack Had Been Real? Here’s What It Would Have Looked Like”

When people in central Oregon’s Madras, Culver and Metolius turn on their taps, untreated spring water flows forth. It costs them less than a penny per gallon.

A company in California buys that same water and sells it in big glass jugs for up to $8.60 a gallon around Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The jugs are flying off the shelves.    Continue reading “California ‘raw’ water fans pay $9 a gallon for Oregon tap water”

The Hill

Senators voted late Friday to reject a House-passed bill that would have funded the government until Feb. 16, beginning a partial government shutdown.

Most Democrats voted to block the bill as part of a risky strategy to force Republicans to negotiate with them on a legislative fix for “Dreamers,” immigrants who illegally came to the country at a young age and now face the prospect of deportation. The procedural motion on the bill failed 50-49.   Continue reading “Senate rejects funding bill, partial shutdown begins”

While the United States Congress has struggled to pass legislation governing taxes and healthcare, it had no problem uniting on the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act—a bill that will ensure the U.S. continues to wage wars around the world, and that promises taxpayers will cover its costly expenses.

The price tag on the latest NDAA is a massive $700 billion, which means that for every day in 2018, American taxpayers will spend nearly $2 billion on war. Continue reading “In 2018 The US Government Will Spend Nearly $2 Billion a Day on War”

In the months leading up to the passage of the Republican Party’s long-awaited tax bill last year, the powerful political operation run by the billionaire Koch brothers was one of the strongest forces pressuring lawmakers to pass massive tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations.

“Republicans never hid the fact that this tax bill was about pleasing their big donors,” Adam Smith, communications director at campaign finance reform nonprofit Every Voice, told International Business Times. “And it looks like House Speaker [Paul] Ryan is quickly being rewarded for passing this legislation that overwhelmingly benefits the Kochs and billionaires like them.”   Continue reading “After Scoring Huge Tax Cuts, Charles Koch Floods Ryan With Cash”

MORIARTY, N.M. (KRQE) – A New Mexico school has been holding a gun raffle fundraiser for years, but the idea is rubbing some parents the wrong way.

The Estancia Valley Classical Academy’s fundraising arm, made up of staff and parents, hosts several fundraisers a year to go towards a new school building.

The big-ticket items at the 2017 “Made in America” fundraiser are a gun and a rifle.  Continue reading “New Mexico school raises money by raffling off guns”

Parents of school-age children in Wisconsin are making their grievances known about the latest onslaught of racist curriculum to creep into the state’s public “education” system. According to reports, eighth-graders in West Bend, a northwest suburb of Milwaukee, are apparently now being taught that they’re bad people if their skin color is white, or if their families have two parents of the opposite sex who are still married.

During a recent segment on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson explained that students attending schools in the West Bend area, which is predominantly white, are being given so-called “privilege tests” during class that identify being white and having an intact family as representing undue “privilege” in society. Students who fall into either or both of these categories are basically being shamed by their teachers and told that they’re inherently racist, while black and brown students are being told that they’re victims who deserve special treatment in society.   Continue reading “Schools and colleges are now teaching children to believe that being born white makes you a bad person”

These are the images that show what will soon be known as the world’s next tallest building rising from the desert. When the 3,280-feet-tall (1,000-meter-tall) Jeddah Tower, in Saudi Arabia, opens in 2020, it will knock Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa off its throne as the tallest skyscraper in the world by 236 feet (72 meters). Construction of the landmark is estimated to cost $1.4 billion.

When CNN visited the site at the end of 2017, the tower was 252 meters (826 feet) high and already had expansive views of the kingdom.   Continue reading “Jeddah Tower: What does the world’s next tallest skyscraper look like now?”
