Truth and Action

Julia Lease from Whitehall, OH has been ordered by her leasing company to take her new American flag off her porch because they state it is “making this complex look bad. It’s detracting from the beauty of everything else.”

“I’ve lived here 36 years and I’ve flown a flag every day since and now all of a sudden they want this flag taken down because they say it detracts from the looks of the apartment complex. Well I can’t see how an American flag can detract from anything. After all, this is our country,” states Lease.   Continue reading “Leasing Company Orders Flags Removed, States it Makes the Complex “Look Bad””

Novorossiya Military Briefing – Novorossiya Shall Be!

We are currently witnessing an epic and in its own way historic event. The Ukrainian regular army and the punitive battalions are suffering a catastrophic defeat to the south of Donetsk. Only a short time ago the Republics were in dire straits: the DPR was hanging only by a thin supply thread, which the Ukrainian army was attempting to sever near Shakhtersk and Krasnyi Luch; the summit of Saur-Mogila has been abandoned, and Bolotov’s counteroffensive had failed to bring decisive victories.    Continue reading “Ukraine Troops Suffer Catastrophic Defeat in Novorossiya. Kiev Regime in Disarray”

Israel prides itself as a “beacon of light,” paving an enlightened path for democracy and human rights in a region of dictators, theocracies, tyrants and human rights abusers. In the shadows of the “beacon of light” lurks a brutal and inhumane abuse – trafficking of women and children for the sex-slave trade.    Continue reading “Israeli traffick in white sex slaves escalating”

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces and Shiite militiamen on Sunday broke a six-week siege imposed by the Islamic State extremist group on the northern Shiite Turkmen town of Amirli, following U.S. airstrikes against the Sunni militants’ positions, officials said.

Army spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said the operation started at dawn Sunday and the forces entered the town shortly after midday. Speaking live on state TV, al-Moussawi said the forces suffered “some causalities,” but did not give a specific number. He said fighting was “still ongoing to clear the surrounding villages.”   Continue reading “Iraqi forces break militant siege of Shiite town”

Going to war may seem one of the most hazardous ordeals on the planet, but perhaps not. The International Labor Organization (ILO) says there is more chance of dying from work than fighting for your country on the battlefield.

The admission was made by Guy Ryder, the ILO’s director-general, who was speaking at the 20th World Congress in Frankfurt to participants from 141 countries in what is the world’s largest occupational safety event.    Continue reading “More chance of dying from work than going to war – Intl Labor Organization”

Seven people suffered injuries after riot police clashed with anti-fascists at a neo-Nazi rally in Stockholm. Police say four law enforcement officers needed treatment, along with three civilians.

The march was organized by the Party of Swedes, a far-right organization, and attracted around 150 members. They were far outnumbered by those protesting against the gathering, with thousands gathering in the city center. The vast majority of protesters were well-behaved, but a minority attacked the police with firecrackers, bottles, eggs and panels from a security fence.   Continue reading “Stockholm: Injuries as neo-Nazi march provokes clash with anti-fascists, police”

The Daily Sheeple – by Melissa Melton

For those who still say it’s a myth that cops are given quotas for how many tickets they have to write, maybe you’ve never been to Waldo, Florida. The National Motorists Association listed Waldo as the third worst speed trap for a town of 50,000 people or less in 2012, and it’s so bad, billboards like the one above are taken out to warn drivers before they get there.

But earlier this week, five police officers came forward to testify before the Waldo City Council that they are mandated to write a certain number of tickets each shift or face punishment — even though such a quota stands in direct violation of state law. Waldo, by the way, only has seven police officers to begin with.   Continue reading “Cops to City Council: ‘We Were Given an Illegal Traffic Ticket Quota’”

World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: These people should pray to God and ask for direction. God has always had His followers take a stand and fight. This is recorded all throughout the Bible. The Apostle Peter was an expert swordsman who cut off the ear of a solider who came to take Christ away. That simply could not have been accomplished by someone who was inexperienced with the sword. The take away here is that we are to protect our own and make a stand. We do not allow someone to break into our homes and harm our families or we become worse than an infidel. We are to be at peace with our neighbors IF possible. It is not always possible to be at peace.   Continue reading “Iraqi Christians Weigh Taking Up Arms Against the Islamic State”

When the US Army looks to the future, it sees cities. Dense, sprawling, congested cities where criminal and extremist groups flourish almost undetected by authorities, but who can influence the lives of the population while undermining the authority of the state.

And the service is convinced that these “megacities” of 20 million or more people will be the battleground of the future.   Continue reading “U.S. Army Sees ‘Megacities’ As the Future Battlefield”

If you’ve ever walked into a post office while carrying your firearm, then you’ve broken the law. Up until a few months ago, even if you drove into the parking lot with your firearm, you were also breaking the law.

Update: It seems that the case referenced in the link above only applies to a certain Post Office. Referencing numerous news articles (below), it sounds as though it covers the entire Country, but this does not seem to be the case. Who knows, really. It’s meant to be as confusing as possible.   Continue reading “If You Ever Go To The Post Office, You May Be Breaking The Law”

Prominent celebrities and leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus have endorsed a major nationalization of local police forces with an August 25 letter to President Obama, calling for creation of a federal police “czar” and greater federal controls over law enforcement in the wake of the Ferguson, Missouri, shooting and protests.

“The Administration must appoint a federal Czar,” the letterstates, “housed in the U.S. Department of Justice, who is specifically tasked with promoting the professionalization of local law enforcement, monitoring egregious law enforcement activities, and adjudicating suspicious actions of local law enforcement agencies that receive federal funding.”    Continue reading “Celebrities, Congressional Black Caucus: Let’s Nationalize Police”

An experimental drug for Ebola known as ZMapp has failed, according to new reports, after a top Liberian doctor who was given the untested medication recently died. According to Lewis Brown, Liberia’s Information Minister, Dr. Abraham Borbor seemed to be improving after being given ZMapp but suddenly “took a turn for the worse,” calling into question the effectiveness of the experimental drug.

Borbor was among three Liberian doctors who were given ZMapp, which initially appeared to be working as intended. But the deputy chief medical doctor at the largest hospital in the country, the John F. Kennedy Medical Center, suddenly reversed course, passing just days after it appeared as though he would likely experience full recovery.

A Colorado veteran says he was denied a ride on the Grand Valley Transit system because of his service dog.

Richard Palmer’s dog, Zipper, is a psychiatric service animal who helps him with post traumatic stress and a brain injury.

“He calms my nerves, so I don’t get anxiety in crowds of people,” Palmer told KJCT. “He keeps me focused and on track.”

Palmer said he rode the bus with Zipper for months before the bus driver decided Zipper isn’t a service dog, but a “comfort” dog.   Continue reading “Veteran Kicked Off Bus Because Of Service Dog”
