CHICAGO (CN) — A woman claims in federal court that prison guards beat her glaucomic ex-husband while his limbs were cuffed and stuffed paper down his throat until he suffocated and died.

Terrance Jenkins, 56, an avid card and dominoes player, had gone from his cell at Pontiac Correctional Center, about 100 miles southwest of Chicago, toward the outdoor recreation area on Oct. 4, 2015, when three correctional officers approached him, according to the complaint.   Continue reading “Prison Guards Accused of Brutal Suffocation”

“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.” — Albert Einstein (allegedly)

On September 22 we reported that the rusty-patched bumblebee was proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be listed as an endangered species. This is a wake-up call to the problem of habitat destruction and pesticide use – particularly neonicotinoid pesticides – as this native bee is the first in the continental U.S. to be formally proposed for endangered species listing. However, as bees are concerned, that was just the tip of the iceberg.   Continue reading ““Alarming” — For the First Time Ever, Bees Added to the Endangered Species List”

A new report presented by Gil Troy of Mcgill University in Canada, shows that 50% of donations to Secretary Clinton’s campaign come from Jewish contributors. The study also found that 25% of donations to the Republican Party also come from Jewish donors.

In an interview with the Jerusalem Post, Troy stated that this is why presidential campaigns are aimed at Jews even though they only make up 2% of American voters.   Continue reading “50% of donations to Clinton campaign come from Jews”

The most controversial presidential campaign  in modern American history has sharpened a long-standing debate: Is it ethical to not vote?

More than 92 million Americans who were eligible to vote four years ago didn’t cast ballots. But politics in the Age of Trump has prompted editorial writers, Democratic partisans and even some Republicans to argue that Donald Trump is so unacceptable as a potential commander in chief that citizens have a heightened duty to show up to cast their ballot against him.   Continue reading “Propaganda Alert: Is it ethical to not vote this year for president?”

Most people these days do not own their time. They have to abide by someone else’s schedule, accept the amount of money that an employer is willing to pay and organize their lifestyles around those hours, allotted money, and rules.

When people of my generation were growing up, many of our parents worked at the same job for decades, providing stability for us and our siblings. Times have changed, though. A regular, long-term job doesn’t always offer stability, a living wage, or fair treatment.   Continue reading “Free Yourself from Workplace Slavery: 33 Ways to Earn a Living Without a Traditional Job”

The College Fix – by Kate Hardiman

Student leaders of this year’s freshman orientation at James Madison University were given a list of 35 things they should avoid saying, including phrases such as “you have such a pretty face,” “love the sinner, hate the sin,” “we’re all part of the human race,” “I treat all people the same,” “it was only a joke,” “I never owned slaves,” and “people just need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps,” among other expressions.

Those phrases and others on the list “widen the diversity gap” and do not “create a safe and inclusive environment,” according to the seven-page handout, a copy of which was provided to The College Fix by a campus spokesman.   Continue reading “University distributes seven-page speech guide”

That’s a myth. It’s told by the medical cartel, for their own obvious reasons.

And it turns out that children raised in a healthy way are strong, and have strong immune systems.   Continue reading “Natural health is a silver bullet to medical vampires”

Food goes bad. Milk spoils, bread molds, avocados rot, and apples brown. Throughout the years, this has become a nuisance for big food corporations. Food is now scientifically-altered to grow bigger and ‘better,’ look prettier, last longer, taste a certain way, etc.

But should we care if our food is changing? The short answer is YES.   Continue reading “Government Says Yes To Non-Browning Gmo Apples That Are About To Hit The Market”

In what would under other circumstances likely be a major media spectacle, Politico reported that the Obama administration is moving to dismiss charges against an arms dealer whom it had accused of selling weapons destined for Libyan rebels and who had threatened to expose Hillary Clinton’s talks about arming anti-Qaddafi rebels.

According to a motion filed in federal court in Phoenix, the DOJ on Monday filed a motion to drop the case against the arms dealer, an American named Marc Turi. One potential reason for the surprising move is that as Politico writes, the deal averts a trial that threatened to cast additional scrutiny on Hillary Clinton’s private emails as Secretary of State, and to expose reported Central Intelligence Agency attempts to arm rebels fighting Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi.   Continue reading “DOJ Drops Charges Against Arms Dealer Who “Threatened To Expose” Hillary Arming Islamic Extremists”

Hillary Clinton was never in any danger of prosecution for mishandling classified documents on her infamous homebrew email server, according to a book set to rock the election season.

The fix was in, thanks to Bill Clinton’s plan to ambush Attorney General Loretta Lynch when their private jets were at the Phoenix airport at the same time.

The former president told his pilot to abort a takeoff, according to Ed Klein in his latest book, ‘Guilty as Sin,‘ when a Secret Service agent told him Lynch was about to land.   Continue reading “How Bill Clinton plotted to ‘bushwhack’ attorney general on airport tarmac and got a promise that Hillary wouldn’t be prosecuted over classified emails”
