The Intercept – by Mehdi Hasan

FOR ONCE, Donald Trump has a point. “We can’t let a madman with nuclear weapons let on the loose like that,” he told Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, according to the transcript from their bizarre phone conversation that was leaked to The Intercept in May.

The madman the U.S. president was referring to, of course, was North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. The madman the rest of us should be worried about, however, is Trump himself, who — lest we forget — has the sole, exclusive and unrestricted power to launch almost 1,000 nuclear warheads in a matter of minutes, should he so wish.   Continue reading “The Madman With Nuclear Weapons is Donald Trump, Not Kim Jong-un”

One of the most controversial aspects of the Iraq war was the heavy use of defense contractors, who were in many cases paid vast sums of money to do jobs that you’d think an ordinary soldier could do. When it was all said and done, defense contractors had reaped $138 billion dollars by providing security, logistics, and construction services. Among the most notorious of these contractors was Blackwater, whose employees gained a reputation for reckless behavior that caused many unnecessary deaths.  Continue reading “The Latest Attempt To Win The Afghan War: Replace The Soldiers With Mercenaries”

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel group in the country, has completed its analysis of President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster’s behavior and determined him to be a threat to Trump’s agenda.

The organization, which is backed in large part by Trump ally GOP mega-donor and Israel defender Sheldon Adelson, is calling for President Trump at the very least to reassign McMaster to a different administration position where he can do no more harm to Israel and efforts to battle radical Islamic terrorism.   Continue reading “Zionist Organization of America Analysis Determines Mcmaster Hostile to Trump, Calls for Reassignment”

The flight was part of the Treaty on Open Skies, which allows military aircraft from the United States and Russia and other nations to fly aerial observation flights to observe military sites of the 34 signatory nations.   Continue reading “Unarmed Russian Air Force jet overflies the Pentagon, Capitol, CIA”

It’s a short walk from Matt Minnick’s farm to the stretch of fencing at the end of his property.

“This is the fence that the developers put in and that was one of the holes,” Minnick told FOX 12.   Continue reading “Portland farmer upset after Washington Co. deputy shot and killed his goat”

Here is a perfect example of the tactics that Big Pharma uses to incentivize doctors to push vaccines on the public. Insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) pays pediatricians $400 for EACH fully vaccinated child under the age of 2. This means that for every 100 vaccinated patients, the doctor gets a $40,000 bonus!

Moreover, it is now very difficult to find a pediatrician who will accept a family who doesn’t vaccinate. Even parents who partially vaccinate or follow a different schedule have a hard time finding a doctor. Here’s why: doctors have to vaccinate a certain percentage of their patients or they don’t get their bonus. BCBS says doctors need to vaccinate 63% of their patients to get the payout.  Continue reading “Proof Surfaces Insurance Company Pays Massive Bonuses To Doctors For Vaccinating Babies”

The handgun chosen to be the U.S. Army’s next generation handgun can fire if dropped while loaded. Tests conducted by gun bloggers has confirmed the gun will fire if dropped at a particular angle. The testing followed a multi-million dollar lawsuit by a Connecticut police officer who alleges he was injured after his Sig 320 handgun went off, critically injuring him.

The Sig Sauer P320 was declared the winner of the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System competition in January 2017. The P320, redesignated the M17 for Army and Air Force use, was picked to replace the Beretta M9 handgun, in use since the 1980s. The Army will issue the M17 to officers, aircrews, weapons crews, medics, and special operations forces. The M17 is chambered in 9-millimeter Parabellum and has a magazine capacity of 17 rounds.   Continue reading “New Handgun Chosen by U.S. Army Goes Off If Dropped”

Donald Trump’s evangelical adviser Tuesday said God had given the president the authority to “take out” North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

“When it comes to how we should deal with evil doers, the Bible, in the book of Romans, is very clear: God has endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary — including war — to stop evil,” Pastor Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church of Dallas said in a statement.   Continue reading “Evangelical Adviser: God Has OK’d Trump to ‘Take Out’ Kim”

It is no secret that Michigan has been a hot bed for Islamic extremism thanks to the massive influx of Muslim refugees. Due to Barack Obama’s policies over the last eight years, America has been infiltrated by these criminals sneaking in under the guise of a humanitarian effort. For years, the American people have begged for tougher border control, but it has only fallen on deaf ears, that is until President Trump was elected. Now, Trump is enforcing our immigration laws which have police officers and ICE busier than ever. Just recently, federal agents went into Muslim infested Michigan to conduct a raid, and what they found was disgusting.    Continue reading “Trump Sends Feds Into Muslim Michigan For Arrest Raid – Uncover America’s Worst Nightmare Instead”

On Nov. 23, 1914, the Financial Times ran a piece about the wild success of British efforts to fund World War I.

War Loans were “oversubscribed,” the paper said; applications were “pouring in”; the public “has offered the Government every penny it asked for — and more.” The “amazing result” showed “how strong is the financial position of the British nation.”

On Aug. 8, 2017, the paper had a follow-up. A “clarification.”  Continue reading “‘Financial Times’ Issues 103-Year-Old Correction”
