A solid majority of Americans would redirect $38 billion the Obama Administration pledged to Israel toward other priorities.

The Obama administration last week signed an executive agreement with Israel pledging $38 billion ($3.8 billion per year) in foreign aid for fiscal years 2019- 2028. The majority of the proposed spending is for Foreign Military Financing to provide Israel advanced and upgraded jet fighters, to continue developing Israel’s missile defense systems and to purchase other U.S. weapons. Although the White House has released a Memorandum of Understanding fact sheet, the actual MOU has not been made publicly available.   Continue reading “81% of Americans Oppose $38 Billion Pledge to Israel”

President Obama said that nations will have to give up some of their autonomy and freedom to achieve security on Tuesday during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly.

Obama told the audience that he believes global security can be achieved with the help of international institutions like the U.N. In his remarks, Obama said “powerful nations” like the United States will have to accept constraints and give up some of their freedom. The president acknowledged that he has been criticized by his own citizens for this belief, but that he remains convinced he is right. Obama also stated that, while countries will have to accept some limits on their freedom, they should not give up the right to defend themselves.   Continue reading “Obama: Submit to World Government”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

The pinnacle of the global financial system is warning that conditions are right for a “full-blown banking crisis” in China.  Since the last financial crisis, there has been a credit boom in China that is really unprecedented in world history.  At this point the total value of all outstanding loans in China has hit a grand total of more than 28 trillion dollars.  That is essentially equivalent to the commercial banking systems of the United States and Japan combined.  While it is true that government debt is under control in China, corporate debt is now 171 percent of GDP, and it is only a matter of time before that debt bubble horribly bursts.  The situation in China has already grown so dire that the Bank for International Settlements is sounding the alarm…   Continue reading “The Bank For International Settlements Warns That A Major Debt Meltdown In China Is Imminent”

There’s a new mumps outbreak in Northern Arkansas, and closely behind it, people who believe in forced vaccination are crying out for more the heads of the unvaccinated…but this time around, 90% of the kids affected are fully vaccinated.

Mumps outbreaks are on the rise, and everyone would like to blame parents who opt out of childhood vaccinations or use a modified schedule. But in many of the recent cases, the people affected are vaccinated. This leads to a lot of questions, and it seems that no one has a definitive answer to the big one: why are all of these outbreaks happening?   Continue reading “No One Seems To Know Why There Are So Many Mumps Outbreaks Happening”

You know, I really don’t care what religion you are.

If you, in your religious fervor, begin planting bombs, lopping off heads, opening fire in a crowded place, or stabbing people, I’m going to think you are a horrible person. I don’t care if you’re doing this to please God, Allah, or some alien life form that you worship. Bad actions are bad actions, regardless of your motivation.   Continue reading “America Under Siege: Staying Alive If You’re In the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time”
