United Kingdom — Palestinians and other Arab leaders have condemned a United Nations decision electing Israel to chair one of its permanent committees. On Monday, Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Dahon, won the chair of the Legal Committee, which oversees matters related to international law, for the first time in the world-body’s 71-year history. Danon’s candidacy was put to a vote by secret ballot where he picked up 109 votes from the 193 member states.

Prior to the election, PLO executive Dr. Hanan Ashrawi described Israel’s nomination as “getting the wolf to guard the sheep.” A fitting metaphor, perhaps, in view of the fact that the U.N. investigator for human rights violations in Palestine resigned earlier this year after accusing Israel of obstructing his work by denying him repeated access to the territories.   Continue reading “Israel Elected to UN International Law Committee — While Violating International Law”

While some lawmakers want to require drug screening and testing for welfare and other assistance program applicants, this idea has inspired one US congresswoman to call for the rich to be drug tested if they wish to take advantage of tax deductions.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker put a lot of time and energy into passing legislation that has given Wisconsin the right to drug test participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). He is not alone either. At least 15 states now require drug testing for public assistance applicants.   Continue reading “HomeAmerica Liberty & drug tests for all: Lawmaker seeks to drug screen the rich”

The CIA has released 50 new documents relating to post-9/11 torture and rendition practices.

On Tuesday the Central Intelligence Agency released 50 new documents which add even more detail to the disturbing use of torture, humiliation, and rendition. The documents depict brutal torture and paint a clear picture of CIA officials desperately working to suppress evidence of their actions. The documents were released in response to an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union and Vice.   Continue reading “Newly Released Torture Documents Reveal Further Depravity”

The Obama administration sought on Friday to control fallout from a leaked internal memo critical of its Syria policy, but showed no sign it was ready to consider the military strikes against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces called for in a letter signed by dozens of U.S. diplomats.Several U.S. officials said that while the administration is willing to hear the diplomats’ dissenting views, it is not expected to make any changes in President Barack Obama’s Syria policy in his final seven months in office.One senior official said that the test for whether these proposals are given high-level consideration will be whether they “fall in line with our contention that there is no military solution to the conflict in Syria.”   Continue reading “U.S. officials seek to limit fallout from internal dissent on Syria”

TEL AVIV – The Jews are engaged in a secret plot to take over the world and destroy all other nations and religions, a new series in Egypt’s government daily, Al Ahram, claims.

The series of five articles, authored by Egyptian journalist Ali Gad and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), asserts that Jews are behind all global conflicts, including Syria, Iraq, and the First and Second World Wars, as part of their master plan to destroy the world. The author uses falsified passages from the Talmud as “proof” of the plot as well as quoting from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an antisemitic Russian text long since debunked as entirely fabricated.   Continue reading “Egypt Gov’t Daily: Jews Using Freemasonry to Pit Sunnis Against Shiites in Plot for World Domination”

Canadian lawmakers voted on Wednesday to alter the country’s national anthem to make the lyrics gender neutral, a move that comes as the new Liberal government focuses on being more inclusive toward women.

The bill would change the English version of “O Canada” to remove the words “in all thy sons command” and replace them with “in all of us command.”   Continue reading “Canadian lawmakers vote to make national anthem gender neutral”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Tennessee lawmaker said Tuesday that his office has received threats for planning to give away the same type of semi-automatic rifle used by a gunman in the massacre of 49 people at an Orlando nightclub.

Before the shootings happened, Republican state Rep. Andy Holt had offered the AR-15 as a door prize at a fundraiser scheduled for later this month. When he was heavily criticized following Sunday’s shootings, he said he would give away a second one as well.   Continue reading “Tennessee lawmaker receives threats for gun giveaway”

Evil, Paul Rosenberg of Freeman’s Perspective writes, can be defined as the “willful abuse of other humans.”

Put into this context, evil is very real. And it’s scary, unpredictable and, unfortunately, very human.

But despite all of the fear surrounding evil, evil is not strong. In fact, it rests on a house of cards. It is incredibly weak. And although it’s always been around, the lion’s share of evil has also always been perpetrated by a laughably small minority.   Continue reading “Zionist Federal Reserve Paralyzed: Bribe Or The Bullet”

The Orlando shooter and his wife exchanged text messages during the Pulse nightclub rampage, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told CNN.

Around 4 a.m. on June 12, about two hours after he started the attack and while holed up in a bathroom, Omar Mateen texted his wife, Noor Salman, asking if she’d seen the news, the official said.

In a break from previous votes on the issue, the House on Thursday rejected two GOP proposals to prevent the Obama administration from enlisting young illegal immigrants to serve in the military.

Lawmakers voted down two measures offered by immigration hard-liners Reps. Steve King (R-Iowa) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) that would have prohibited the use of federal money to enlist young illegal immigrants who have been granted work permits under President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.   Continue reading “House rejects effort to ban illegal immigrants from military service”

Arlington, TX – It has long been understood that police have quotas for arrests and traffic stops, and that officers are encouraged to make as many stops as possible. However, police departments, and especially police unions have vehemently denied this fact for decades.

Over the years, various departments across the country have been exposed as having quota programs, showing a widespread and systematic policy where officers are encouraged to make as many arrests as possible.   Continue reading “This Department’s Quota Was So Demanding, Cops Had to Fake Citations Just to Keep Up With It”

Responding to the terror attack at Pulse Orlando by pushing more gun control is a not-so-subtle way of treating law-abiding Americans like terrorists.

After all, pushing gun control for well over a hundred million gun owners because of the terrorist actions of one gun owner is nothing short of punishing all for the actions of one. And insult is added to injury by the fact that the alleged Orlando attacker — Omar Mateen — passed all the left’s gun controls to commit his heinous act. So it is not just that he allegedly committed terrorist acts but that he did so by cooperating with every law the left instituted as part of their way of keeping us safe.   Continue reading “We’re All Terrorists Now: How Gun Control Treats Law-Abiding Citizens”

Getting locked up is unlikely to be good for your health but it’s “terrific, terrific” business for the booming private industry supplying doctors and nurses to jails and prisons. Many of those suppliers descended on Austin, Texas, last month to tout their services directly to jail administrators at the 35th annual American Jail Association conference.

As trade fairs go, this one is a little macabre. Companies line up to market everything from jumpsuits and meal trays to masks to stop prisoners from spitting, straitjackets and other full-body restraints. Once the national anthem had been observed and the AJA’s chaplain had led a prayer for jailers across the country, those gathered at Austin’s convention centre could get down to business: making money.   Continue reading “Welcome to Jail Inc: how private companies make money off US prisons”
