BEIJING (Reuters) – China told the United States on Tuesday to stay out of disputes over the South China Sea and leave countries in the region to resolve problems themselves, after Washington said it wanted a freeze on stoking tension.
Michael Fuchs, U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for Strategy and Multilateral Affairs, said no country was solely responsible for escalating tension in the region. But he reiterated the U.S. view that “provocative and unilateral” behaviour by China had raised questions about its willingness to abide by international law.

The U.S. is facing a major health threat due to the explosion of disease at detention centers holding thousands of illegal-immigrant children on the southern border, says Dr. Elaina George, who specializes in ear, nose and throat afflictions.
“It’s absolutely a health threat,” George, a board-certified otolaryngologist, told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV Monday. Continue reading “Doctor: Border Crisis Is ‘Absolutely a Health Threat’ to Nation”

YOLO COUNTY (CBS13) — Little Rebecca Hall hasn’t had so much as a fever in her 14 months of life. Her mom Nakayla says it’s because she’s been diligent with her daughter’s immunization schedule.
“It’s completely important. she’s gotten all of her vaccinations and she hasn’t been sick once,” she said.
But health officials are concerned, because Yolo County is seeing a spike in whooping cough cases stronger than the rise in other California counties. Continue reading “Yolo County Officials Perplexed By Unusual Spike In Whooping Cough Cases”

Dozens of protesters on both sides of the immigration debate showed up in a small town near Tucson on Tuesday after the sheriff said the federal government plans to transport about 40 immigrant children to an academy for troubled youths.
The rallies demonstrated the deep divide of the immigration debate. One group waved American flags, held signs that read “Return to Sender” and “Go home non-Yankees” and said they would block a bus that was supposed to arrive with immigrant children aboard. A few miles up the road, about 50 pro-immigrant supporters held welcome signs with drawings of hearts. The dueling groups each had about 50 people.

Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 1306 on Monday, which will take effect on January 1, 2015. Continue reading “California Governor Signs Bill Eliminating Terms ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’”
The California state Senate sees their share of interesting and controversial legislation proposals. One of the most recent bills, Assembly Bill No. 1014, is one which, if passed, would permit the secret seizure of a California state resident’s guns, after just one complaint that they pose a risk of committing an act of violence.
California Assembly members Das Williams, a Democrat from Carpinteria, and Nancy Skinner, a Democrat from Berkeley, first introduced the legislation last year. Favor of the bill increased after the Island Vista shooting rampage on May 23, when the shooter’s mother claimed she had raised concerns about her son’s mental state, but no action had been taken.

The epidemic of giving children toxic psychiatric pharmaceuticals has dipped even lower, as children under one year of age are now being prescribed these very questionable pharmaceuticals. In 2013, nearly 500,000 babies were prescribed these drugs from psychiatrists and MDs who use the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders) as their bible to treat people from “brain chemical imbalances.”
The institution called Psychiatry is a fraud from top to bottom. The DSM’s 300 or more mental disorders are mostly opinions based on observations. A handful of top shrinks meet to create a consensus for each edition of this bogus manual. Even the creator of ADHD, an ‘illness’ responsible for hundreds of thousands of children receiving mind-altering drugs, has admitted that it is a fictitious disease.

Backers of the ‘Six Californias’ plan say they have obtained enough signatures to prompt a referendum on carving up the most populous US state. Campaign leaders claim the split would remedy many problems by creating more effective local governments.
Campaign spokesperson Roger Salazar said the ‘Six Californias’ plan has gained over the 808,000 signatures necessary to include the issue in a 2016 ballot. The idea would be to split the world’s eighth-largest economy geographically into Jefferson, North California, Silicon Valley, Central California, West California and South California.

Air travel in the US is set to become more expensive beginning next week – but airline profits and jet fuel costs aren’t to blame this time. Instead, the price hike will come as a result of a TSA fee increase.
The Transportation Security Administration’s fee – known as the ‘Civil Aviation Security’ or the ‘9/11 Security’ fee – helps fund the agency. But according to the budget agreement that reopened the federal government after its October shutdown, the fee will increase to as much as $22.40 per trip. That money will go to the US Treasury to help pay the federal deficit, which is estimated to be $649 billion in 2014. That bipartisan deal also eliminated a separate TSA fee that generated $420 million a year for the agency. Continue reading “Air travel prices in US to climb as TSA fees increase”
It’s been clear that the executive branch of the federal government is working overtime to extend their authority. This started long before Obama became president, but it has accelerated at an alarming rate since he took office. Obama’s administration has put out more regulations per week than any before, each of which extends their authority to reach into people’s lives and control them and their businesses.
While the IRS has the reputation of being the most insidious of all government agencies, I’d have to say that the EPA is working hard to stay a close second. What started as a government agency to protect our corner of the world has become the political arm of the environmental movement. Continue reading “The EPA’s Latest Land Grab”

Breakfast cereals that are “fortified” with synthetic imitations of vitamins like zinc, niacin, and vitamin A could be harming children, says a new report by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Researchers from the consumer advocacy organization maintain that many cereals, breakfast bars and other breakfast products marketed to children contain excess levels of synthetic vitamins that may harm vital organs and immune function in the longer term.
The investigative report looked specifically at the three aforementioned additives, all of which are synthetically derived when added to breakfast cereals, to see how manufacturers use them. The team looked at nutrition labels for 1,556 breakfast cereals and 1,025 snack and energy bars to analyze their contents of vitamin A, zinc and niacin, and compare these levels to recommended daily values. Continue reading “Study shows synthetic vitamins in ‘fortified’ breakfast cereals harming children”
A Chicago company is under fire from a local union after employees complained they are being monitored and disciplined for using the bathroom more than just a few minutes a day.

California is facing one of its most severe droughts on record, which is hurting farmers and recreation alike. But despite water restrictions, Nestle is bottling spring water from the state and selling it, creating controversy alongside profits.
Nestle owns Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water, which has been bottling water from a spring in Millard Canyon, Calif. for more than a decade. The company’s 383,000-square-foot bottling plant, which also packages purified water under the Nestle Pure Life brand, is located on the Morongo Band of Mission Indians reservation.

Charlotte, NC –-(Ammoland.com)- Firearm-related deaths have decreased in California since the early 1990s, but the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence (LCPGV) and the state’s Department of Justice don’t agree about the reasons why.
The LCPGV is an anti-gun activist group, so as reflexively as a squirrel burying nuts, it claims California’s firearm-related deaths have decreased because of gun control. Continue reading “California Gun Banners Continue to Twist the Facts About Gun Controls Failing Results”
