Rose Alexander just couldn’t get away from the shooting over the weekend.

Friday night, her adult son was shot in the leg near his home in West Garfield Park. She didn’t venture out of her house until Sunday night, and then only to escort her brother home. But the two of them soon ran into a crime scene along a stretch of Madison Street where four people had been wounded in three shooting incidents over two hours.

The brother and sister separated at Central Avenue and she yelled after him, “Call me as soon as you get home. I mean it. As soon as you walk in the door.”   Continue reading “Violent weekend worst since July Fourth: ‘It’s so bad out here’”

Idaho Statesman – by Bryan Clark

Idaho Falls Rep. Bryan Zollinger took to Facebook on Friday, re-posting a conspiracy theory suggesting that last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Va., could have been an inside job orchestrated to smear President Donald Trump.

The post, written on a site called The American Thinker, is replete with wild, unevidenced claims couched in what-ifs.

“The conflagration in Charlottesville is beginning to feel like a set-up, perhaps weeks or months in the planning,” the author wrote.   Continue reading “East Idaho rep. says it’s ‘plausible’ Obama staged Charlottesville riots”

Courageous investigative journalist and ex-BBC News correspondent Liz MacKean, 52, who exposed infamous pedophile Jimmy Saville – and ultimately resigned in 2013 over the BBC’s decision to refuse to air her investigation into Saville – has died after suffering a stroke.

Only in 2016 did her investigative work exposing Saville’s rampant molestation of children see the light of day on the BBC, featured as Abused: The Untold Story.   Continue reading “Reporter Who Exposed BBC Pedophilia Cover-Up Suddenly Dies at 52”

Congressman Chris Collins (R-NY- 27) has introduced legislation to the US House of Representatives titled the “Second Amendment Guarantee Act.”  Collins said of the proposed bill, “This legislation would protect the Second Amendment rights of New Yorkers that were unjustly taken away by Andrew Cuomo.  I am a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and have fought against all efforts to condemn these rights. I stand with the law-abiding citizens of this state that have been outraged by the SAFE Act and voice my commitment to roll back these regulations.”

The legislation would specifically limit the authority of states to regulate rifles and shotguns “commonly used by sportsmen and sportswomen.”  The act was aimed squarely at the heart of the draconian anti-gun, anti-liberty, anti-human so-called “SAFE (Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement) Act” signed into law by Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2013.   Continue reading “NY Congressman Proposes Legislation to Kill Draconian Anti-Gun Laws in NY and NJ”

As the mainstream corporate press attempts to guilt Westerners over making Syrian refugees return home, Western outlets are, in fact, deconstructing their own propaganda narrative for all to see.

For instance, according to the International Organization for Migration, more than 600,000 Syrians have returned home to Syria since the beginning of 2017, more than the number of returning refugees in the entire year of 2016.   Continue reading “If Assad Is “Killing His Own People” Why Are They Rushing Back To Him?”

5G is creating an environmental nightmare in more ways than technology addicts even can imagine!

Since 5G waves don’t travel very far, innovative ‘cell towers’ of all shapes, types and sizes—including that of a refrigerator size—most likely will be ‘planted’ on a pole of some sort outside most buildings, including your home!   Continue reading “Is This What You Want Outside Your Bedroom Window?”

Pope Francis on Monday urged countries to greatly improve their welcome to migrants and stop collective expulsions, saying migrants’ dignity and right to protection trumps national security concerns.

Francis’ politically pointed message was made in view of the Catholic Church’s 2018 world refugee day, celebrated Jan. 14. It comes amid mounting anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe and beyond following waves of migrant arrivals and Islamic extremist attacks.  Continue reading “Pope: Rights of migrants trump national security concerns”

The Daily Sheeple – by Lily Dane

It is said that when there’s a will, there’s a way – and ambitious thieves in Conway, Arkansas proved it last week.

A person – or persons – stole an ATM by ramming it with a forklift and loading it into a waiting truck.

The bold heist was caught on camera, and police uploaded the video footage to Facebook.  Continue reading “Thieves Use Forklift to Steal ATM in Brazen Heist”

Google revealed in a blog post that it is now using machine learning to document “hate crimes and events” in America. They’ve partnered with liberal groups like ProPublica, BuzzFeed News, and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to make information about “hate events” easily accessible to journalists. And now, there are troubling signs that this tool could be used to ferret out writers and websites that run afoul of the progressive orthodoxy.

In the announcement, Simon Rogers, data editor of Google News Labs, wrote:

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

With much of the US undergoing a broad revulsion against Confederate statues in the days since the Charlotesville clashes, it was only a matter of time before someone took matters one step too far. This happened today when a Houston man was arrested on allegations he tried to plant explosives at the statue of Confederate officer Richard Dowling in Hermann Park, according to Chron.com citing law enforcement officials.

Needless to say, the suspect was not fully “with it”, and when confronted Saturday night in the park, the man tried to drink the liquid explosives, one of the sources said. The man was not identified by name but the sources said he had previously been convicted in 2014 and given five years probation for storing explosives.   Continue reading “Houston Man Arrested Trying To Plant Bomb At Confederate Statue”
