President-elect Donald Trump confirmed Sunday that future first lady Melania Trump and their 10-year-old son, Barron, will remain in New York after he becomes president, as first reported in the New York Post.

When asked about the family’s relocation plans post inauguration Trump, 70, told reporters that he would immediately settle into the executive mansion and that Mrs. Trump and his youngest son, a fourth grader at a Manhattan prep school, would move “Very soon. After he’s finished with school,” according to McClatchy White House Correspondent Anita Kumar. Trump transition spokesman Jason Miller confirmed that there was “obviously a sensitivity to pulling out a 10-year-old in the middle of the school year.”   Continue reading “Donald Trump confirms that wife Melania and son Barron will stay in New York after the presidential inauguration”

After dropping his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, New Jersey governor Chris Christie shocked the political world by endorsing Donald Trump – giving the maverick candidate his first real stamp of approval days before the crucial Super Tuesday race. It was a move that stunned and disappointed the anti-Trump GOP establishment, including Christie’s own friends and supporters.

Christie said he appreciated Trump “as a person, and as a friend,” and Trump, in turn described Christie as his “friend for many years” and a “spectacular governor.”   Continue reading “Meet the Kushners: The Feuding Real Estate Dynasty That Links Donald Trump and Chris Christie”

Drought has always been a threat of existential proportions in the Middle East. The path Israel chose to mitigate its impact was discussed in the New York Times on May 29, 2015 in an article titled “Aided by the Sea, Israel Overcomes an Old Foe: Drought.” Israel’s conquest of drought cited by the Times was achieved by building five large-scale desalination plants in just ten years, a project viewed by many as one of Israel’s outstanding achievements. However, in contrast to natural water, desalinated water lacks essential elements essential to human health such as magnesium and calcium.

Israel’s desalination plants produce 600 million cubic meters of water per year, enough to supply drinking water to about 80% of the population.       Continue reading “Israel, the Next Flint? Gov’t Dawdling as Desalinated Water Kills”

Until corporate media and the neoliberal establishment refused to acknowledge their direct role in the election of Donald Trump and threw a temper-tantrum about misinformation on social media to scapegoat blame, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg balked at the notion faulty reports circulating on social media had anything at all to do with the November 8th shocker.   Continue reading “Zuckerberg Just Revealed Facebook’s 7-Point Plan to Censor “Fake News” and It’s Chilling”

A Staten Island pit bull who fatally mauled a Chihuahua in May has dodged doggy death row.

Caesar’s owners sued to stop the pooch from being euthanized after he killed Charlie the Chihuahua. In an agreement hammered out Wednesday with the city, Caesar will be allowed to live as long as he undergoes training to “modify his aggressive behavior.” He is currently being housed at a retraining facility in New Jersey.   Continue reading “Pit bull dodges doggy death row for mauling Chihuahua”

Run for your life; the truth is coming. Get to your safe spaces, eat your comfort foods, and pray that the media can somehow turn their fictitious presentation into a provable reality. Cry, panic, protest and riot, and do whatever else is necessary in your last, desperate attempt to deny that you’ve been lied to for your entire life.

What we’re witnessing in America now is the beginning of a mass-meltdown of the big lie known as “liberalism”, as the media-created illusion finally clashes with the real world, and this collision is causing many ex-believers of the promised utopia to become unglued. They’re speeding around the learning curve, losing traction at the “acceptance” stage of the process, and spinning out of control in anger and confusion.   Continue reading “For “liberals”.”

ISIS’s magazine called New York City’s Macy’s Parade an excellent target.   Continue reading “FBI Warns Of Thanksgiving Terror Potential; Walsh Says No Specific Threat To Boston”

Trump has tapped Congressman Mike Pompeo to head the CIA.

In April of 2014, Pompeo introduced the bill that would become The Dark Act, banning states from passing laws mandating GMO labeling on food. Instead, The Dark Act introduces very weak and confusing federal GMO labels. Few people will pay attention to them or even realize they’re there.   Continue reading “Monsanto’s ally Pompeo to head the CIA: bad move, Donald”
