WASHINGTON – D.C. Police kick off a weekend initiative to fight summer crime called “All Hands On Deck.”

That means more officers will be stationed on city streets requiring all of them to work eight hour shifts.

This doesn’t come without controversy.

The department’s union representatives have filed paperwork challenging previous such programs saying it unfairly changes officers schedules without consent from the union.   Continue reading “All Hands On Deck police program to begin in DC”

When one thinks of “redistribution of wealth,” one would typically understand that to mean a system designed to take from the wealthy and give to the poor. Controversial in its own right. However, with the United Nations’ Agenda 21 it’s even worse: the redistribution of wealth means taking resources from poorer populations and opening up those resources for wealthy private interests to collude with government – fascism, essentially.

A shockingly honest new study from the Institute of Physics (IOP) journal Environmental Research Letters entitled “Food appropriation through large scale land acquisitions” makes the case for literally disenfranchising local populations in service to the greater multi-national good through “land grabs” – a hallmark of all Agenda 21 propaganda.

Priceonomics – by Zachary Crockett

In 2007, during a business school lecture at UCLA, Roberto Sequeira had a revelation. What if I could design the perfect business? he asked himself, something niche, high-margin, scalable. He ran through a rolodex of potential consumer items — watches, food, clothing — before arriving at his moment of clarity: he’d start an ice cube company. But not just any ice cube company — one that sold its wares at $8 a piece. Today his brainchild, Gläce Luxury Ice, caters posh events at the Playboy Mansion and L.A. Fashion Week; for the mere price of $325, 50 Gläce cubes are all yours — complete with an “elegant” resealable bag.   Continue reading “The Rise of the $8 Ice Cube”

Upland couple Marcella and Ralph Bracamonte were caught in what they described Thursday as a nanny nightmare.

The Bracamontes fired their live-in nanny three weeks ago, but said the woman was refusing to leave and even threatened the couple with legal action.

President Barack Obama has said that tens of thousands of kids illegally migrating from Central America have created a “humanitarian crisis,” and called for parents to stop sending their children north as they might not even reach the US.

“We don’t even know how many of these kids don’t make it, and may have been waylaid into sex trafficking or killed because they fell off a train,” Obama stated in an interview with ABC.   Continue reading “Obama tells Central America to stop sending migrant kids”

On June 26, the non-profit group Evolve launched a new gun safety PSA aimed at stressing parental responsibility by focusing on how kids play with whatever they find–be that a gun or a sex toy.

In the video, two mothers are talking on the porch when their sons run past them while having a sword fight with their mothers’ sex toys which had not been properly stored in the house. A male voice-over says, “If they find it, they’ll play with it.”   Continue reading “Gun Safety PSA Features Sex Toys to Show Danger of Kids Finding Unlocked Guns”

The test launch of an Angara space rocket automatically aborted due to “technical issues,” Russian officials said. While the second attempt is scheduled for Saturday, President Putin has ordered the reasons for the launch failure be detailed in one hour.

The would-be historic launch was automatically terminated just few minutes before the countdown, the Defense Ministry declared. “Technical issues” are blamed for the incident, said sources in the Russian space agency Roscosmos.   Continue reading “Russia calls off launch of newest space rocket Angara”

LONDON (AP) — Before the fast, let there be a shopping feast.

From Harrods in Knightsbridge to the glittering diamond stores in Mayfair, London has long attracted big spenders. But every year around the holy month of Ramadan, which starts this weekend, a wave of spectacularly rich Middle Eastern shoppers arrives and takes retail therapy to a whole new level — complete with an entourage of bodyguards, chauffeurs, and Gulf-registered Rolls-Royces and Ferraris flown in just for the occasion.   Continue reading “Ramadan rush: Mega-rich shoppers descend on London”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Before a unanimous Supreme Court weighed in, the White House had brushed off claims that President Barack Obama was exceeding his executive authority as just so much grousing from frustrated partisans.

Then, in a 9-0 decision Thursday, the high court ruled that at least in one case Obama had gone too far. For Republicans, the court’s decision that Obama violated the Constitution in 2012 when he appointed members to the National Labor Relations Board without Senate confirmation validated their argument that Obama has acted against the law when he has taken matters into his own hands.   Continue reading “Court ruling comes as Obama’s use of power tested”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The disappearance of a Minnesota mother of seven was just a missing person case when it landed on the desk of Detective Sgt. Lee Hollatz. Seven months later, her body and that of another woman were found stuffed in suitcases along a rural Wisconsin highway, and the former police officer whom Hollatz had long considered his top person of interest is now suspected in their deaths.

Steven M. Zelich is scheduled to appear in court in Wisconsin on Friday afternoon on two counts of hiding a corpse. Authorities say Zelich, a 52-year-old security guard from West Allis, Wisconsin, met his victims online, bound and killed them and kept their bodies for months, either in his vehicle or his home, though he has not yet been charged in their deaths.   Continue reading “Ex-cop suspect in deaths of 2 women in suitcases”

Number of U.S.-born not working grew by 17 million

Government data show that since 2000 all of the net gain in the number of working-age (16 to 65) people holding a job has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal). This is remarkable given that native-born Americans accounted for two-thirds of the growth in the total working-age population. Though there has been some recovery from the Great Recession, there were still fewer working-age natives holding a job in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000, while the number of immigrants with a job was 5.7 million above the 2000 level.    Continue reading “All Employment Growth Since 2000 Went to Immigrants”

Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children … If you want peace and democracy, I will support you. If you want formal Apartheid, we will not support you. If you want to support racial discrimination and ethnic cleansing, we will oppose you—wrote Nelson Mandela in a letter to Thomas Friedman, a prominent journalist and writer for the New York Times.   Continue reading “Israel’s ethnic cleansing: The real face of terror”
