A ninety-year-old bust of Abraham Lincoln, our sixteenth president, was destroyed in a South Side Chicago neighborhood overnight on Wednesday.

15th Ward Alderman Raymond Lopez criticized the destruction of the statue in a Facebook post on Wednesday evening.

“What an absolute disgraceful act of vandalism. This bust of Abraham Lincoln, erected by Phil Bloomquist on August 31, 1926, was damaged & burned,” Lopez wrote. “If anyone has any information regarding this act, please contact the police or my office immediately.”  Continue reading “90-Year-Old Bust of Abe Lincoln Destroyed in Chicago Neighborhood”

BOSTON (Reuters) – Boston officials are planning road blockades and even banning food vendors from the historic Boston Common as they step up security around a “Free Speech” rally on Saturday featuring right-wing speakers, aiming to avoid a repeat of last weekend’s violence at a white supremacist rally in Virginia.

Some 500 police officers will be on the streets around the popular tourist destination. They are planning to close some roadways to vehicles, mindful of the car attacks that killed a woman in Charlottesville and 13 in an attack in Barcelona on Thursday.   Continue reading “Roadblocks, weapons bans as Boston braces for ‘Free Speech’ rally”

On August 21st, approximately 25,000 U.S. troops will join “tens of thousands” from the South Korean military to conduct a “major military exercise” that is already triggering threats from North Korea.  Considering the fact that any sort of provocation could cause a nuclear war to erupt on the Korean peninsula, is this really a wise thing to do?  The more research that I do on this upcoming solar eclipse, the stranger things become.  When I first started hearing about this eclipse many months ago, I didn’t pay too much attention, but now after looking into it extensively I do believe that it is going to be quite significant.

And I didn’t even know about this major military exercise that will happen during the eclipse until today.  The following comes from MSN…   Continue reading “The U.S. Military Will Be Conducting ‘A Major Military Exercise’ On The Korean Peninsula During The Solar Eclipse”

WELLS FARGO, THE CURRENT poster child for corporate crime recidivism, announced that three of its board members would step down at the end of the year, in a nod to the company’s many incidents of customer abuse. But, in an example of what passes for accountability in the modern age, they did not claw back any compensation from those board members. Instead, the departing board members were allowed to take an early retirement. And the replacements are either already on Wells Fargo’s payroll, or come from close corporate partners.

Stephen Sanger, who only took over as chair of the board of directors after the resignation of CEO and chair John Stumpf last year, will step down Jan. 1, along with two colleagues, Cynthia Milligan and Susan Swenson. The trio are among the bank’s longest-serving board members; Milligan joined in 1992, Swenson in 1998, and Sanger in 2003. And all three served during Wells Fargo’s decade-plus practice of instituting fake accounts to goose sales growth, not to mention recent revelations of nickel-and-diming mortgageborrowers, auto loan customers, small business owners, and investors.  Continue reading “Wells Fargo Reshuffles Board With Scandal-Ridden Insiders”

The Berkeley area teacher who pummeled a white nationalist last year, and just recently was arrested on assault charges for that attack, is claiming that “standing up to fascism is not a crime.”

By Any Means Necessary’s Yvette Felarca, who teaches in the Berkeley Unified School District, said at her arraignment that “Standing up against […] the rise of Nazism and fascism in this country is not a crime,” and added “We have the right to defend ourselves.”  Continue reading “Teacher arrested for assaulting white nationalist: Violence against far-right ‘not a crime’”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Infowars.com has learned the White House counsel has prepared, at the request of President Trump, a pardon for former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio that is ready for Trump to sign.

The question is whether President Trump will sign the pardon now, before traveling to Phoenix for a rally at the Phoenix Convention Center on Tuesday, May 22 – or if President Trump will sign it at all.   Continue reading “White House Prepares Arpaio Pardon For Trump’s Signature”

As I near my 50th birthday, Saturday, Auguat 19, I have taken time to review all of the changes I have seen in the past half century. I was raised in communist Wisconsin with judeo-christian beliefs and credited the advancements of man to evolution as I was taught. I remember our first microwave, our first VCR, and when I was a teen my parents had the forerunner to cable called Select TV which was 16 channels with less advertising as opposed to the 4 local channels.

As a child I was taught that since I was intelligent I did not have to worry about menial physical labor. With my intelligence I was encouraged to pursue upper management so I could just tell others what to do. Unknown to me at the time, the Lord had other plans for me. In my rebellion against the establishment (although I didn’t know what that was), I was in a severe car accident 2 days after turning 19, that changed my life.   Continue reading “Letter to the Trenchers”

Throughout the 2016 campaigning cycle, then candidate Trump frequently criticized NATO as “obsolete” and repeatedly knocked allies for not paying their “fair share.”

Then, in a shocking reversal, Trump hosted a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg, just a few months after moving into the White House, in which he declared: “I said it was obsolete.  It’s no longer obsolete.”   Continue reading “Urban Warfare: NATO Issues RFP For Training To Fight In Big Cities With “Dense, Interconnected Populations””

WEB Notes: Everyone has a script and a part in what is going on. The brainwashing has kicked into overdrive. The crybabies and those causing the division are the ones talking about racism and removing our historical icons. Did these clowns seriously forget we just had a black President for 8 years? Did they forget how over 50-60% of whites voted for Obama?…

Now these ladies on CNN show an interview of a so called “Ex-FBI agent“. I bet that guy could not sniff out a donut if it was in front of his face. “Culture” is now a keyword for “racism“. Alrighty then.

The protesters were marching in response to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday where one woman died after being deliberately hit by a car, and two law enforcement personnel were killed when the helicopter they were in crashed.   Continue reading “Protesters in Atlanta Vandalize ‘Peace Monument’ After Mistaking It for Confederate Symbol”

BAN THE NY TIMES!!!

New York Times – by John Feinblatt

When militia members and white supremacists descended on Charlottesville, Va., last Saturday with Nazi flags and racist placards, many of them also carried firearms openly, including semiautomatic weapons. They came to intimidate and terrify protesters and the police. If you read reports of the physical attacks they abetted, apparently their plan worked.

They might try to rationalize their conduct as protected by the First and Second Amendments, but let’s not be fooled. Those who came to Charlottesville openly carrying firearms were neither conveying a nonviolent political message, nor engaged in self-defense nor protecting hearth and home.  Continue reading “NY TIMES: Ban the Open Carry of Firearms”

Cops can play the role of prosecutor in a Maine traffic court, but a dad cannot help his son fight a ticket. 

A father who wanted to represent his teenage son while fighting a traffic ticket will not be allowed to do so under a ruling handed down Thursday by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. On July 4, 2016, Benjamin J. Rupert had been pulled over at U.S. Route 1 and Old Blue Point Road in Scarborough. Officer Melissa DiClemente accused the eighteen-year-old of exceeding the 35 MPH speed limit and “failure to maintain control.”    Continue reading “Maine Supreme Court: Father Cannot Help Son Fight Traffic Ticket”
