Anti-War – by Jason Ditz

One week after the Pentagon announced an escalation of the Afghan War of an unspecified size, anonymous US officials are saying that the deployment will be about 3,500, bringing the total size of the US forces in the country to 14,500.

The Pentagon would officially neither confirm nor deny the figure, saying that they will not comment in any way on the numbers until there is an official announcement. This figure is roughly in line with expectations of the size of the deployment.   Continue reading “US Sending 3,500 More Troops to Afghanistan, Bringing Total to 14,500”

Benghazi, Libya – Lending credence to the theory that ISIS operates as a strategic asset of the Israeli Mossad, Libyan security forces have arrested an ISIS leader in the north-eastern Libyan city of Benghazi – who just so happens to be a Mossad agent.

The man arrested, Ephraim Benjamin, was allegedly an Israeli Mossad agent who began his operation following the 2011 toppling of the Libyan government that resulted in the murder of Libyan President Moammar Ghaddafi, according to the Israeli website Inian Merkazi, which translates to “Central Issues.”   Continue reading “‘ISIS Commander’ Arrested by Libyan Authorities Exposed as Israeli Mossad Agent”

Estonia, who lead the current European Union Presidency, has called upon other EU Member States to increase their Internet censorship, following in the footsteps of Communist China, according to a leaked document.

“A Council of the European Union document leaked by Statewatch on 30 August reveals that during the summer months, Estonia (current EU Presidency) has been pushing the other Member States to strengthen indiscriminate internet surveillance, and to follow in the footsteps of China regarding online censorship,” reported European Digital Rights (EDRi), an international advocacy group. “Standing firmly behind its belief that filtering the uploads is the way to go, the Presidency has worked hard in order to make the proposal for the new copyright Directive even more harmful than the Commission’s original proposal, and pushing it further into the realms of illegality.”   Continue reading “Report: EU Presidency Calls for China-Style Internet Censorship”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits jumped to a more than two-year high last week amid a surge in applications in hurricane-ravaged Texas, but the underlying trend remained consistent with a strong labor market.

The surge in claims reported by the Labor Department on Thursday offered an early glimpse of Hurricane Harvey’s impact on the economy. The storm unleashed unprecedented flooding in Houston, disrupting oil, natural gas and petrochemical production and forcing a temporary closure of refineries.   Continue reading “Hurricane Harvey boosts U.S. jobless claims to more than two-year high”

Those who avoid and evade the reason for the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would surely admit that if Lithuania had a Second Amendment, Mikhail Gorbachev violated it on March 22, 1990 – Russian troops seized arms from the Lithuanian militia. Or was “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” actually violated two days earlier, when Premier Gorbachev ordered private citizens to turn in their hunting and competition guns to the Russian army within one week “for temporary safekeeping” or have them confiscated and their owners imprisoned?

Breitbart – by Ann Coulter

Congress has tried to sneak through amnesties three times in a little more than a decade. Every time, the American people somehow found out — despite the best efforts of the press — rose up in a rage and killed the proposed bills.

In 2006, President Bush got the brilliant idea to push amnesty on the country. His party was wiped out the very next time voters could get to the polls.   Continue reading “Ann Coulter: We Made Donald %#&@ Trump PRESIDENT — What Else Can We Do?”

World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: It seems their headline is incorrect. The point of the article was to indicate that Caucasian Christians now make up just 43% of the population dropping below 50%. Not that they are the minority religion/race. Regardless, we continue to see Christianity fall in this nation…

What we are witnessing in our nation is a slow death and we also see the same happening in Europe as well. We see it happening to the Christian nations of the world and this is by design. It is a subject we have covered in depth on this site.

Hurricane Harvey was named a “potential” hurricane on August 17, 2017 when its wind speed was just 35 mph. In previous years, hurricanes were not named until they reached 75 mph nearing category 1 hurricane speeds. Over the past twelve years, the number and severity of hurricanes have dropped drastically since Katrina. Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey in 2012 as a category 2 to 3 with a tremendous quantity of rain. Hurricane Harvey hit Houston as a borderline category 4 and quickly dropped to a category 1, but stayed off the coast  for nearly a week drawing moisture from the Gulf and dumping it on Houston and vicinity. Record breaking levels of rain …over four feet. Totally unnatural.   Continue reading “Hurricane Harvey: Manmade Mayhem”

Healthy eating doesn’t have to taste like healthy eating. Healthy eating can taste like cake. Why not? In the case of these energy balls, we’re talking carrot cake. One of my favorite things on earth.

Apparently all of these carrot cake themed recipes on one blog was not enough for me and I needed to create another. Too many healthy recipes that taste like carrot cake? Never.   Continue reading “Carrot cake energy balls”

Next Gov – by Frank Konkel

Despite progress over the past month, the National Background Investigations Bureau still faces a backlog of approximately 700,000 security clearance seekers, and it’s forcing one department to issue riskier interim clearances, according to top officials.

NBIB Director Charles Phalen, speaking Wednesday at the Intelligence and National Security Summit, said the clearance backlog has decreased in recent weeks after it ballooned in the spring. Of the 700,000 Americans awaiting a security clearance to handle varying levels of sensitive government data, 300,000 are being cleared for the first time and 170,000 seek employment in the military services.   Continue reading “Murderers, Pedophiles Among Applicants Issued Interim Security Clearances, Defense Official Says”

After watching the terrible series of cascading disasters on the Texas Coast after Hurricane Harvey, we know for a fact that the aftermath of a catastrophe can be just as bad (and sometimes worse) than the initial event. There’s a terrifying potential threat in Florida in the form of 3 nuclear plants, two of which are directly in the projected path of Hurricane Irma. Could Florida’s nuclear plants turn Hurricane Irma into the American version of Fukushima?

To be fully prepared for the possibility, people should prepare for the potential of a simultaneous hurricane and nuclear disaster.   Continue reading “Could Hurricane Irma Turn Florida’s Nuclear Plants into an American Fukushima Disaster?”
