WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) – The Republican chairman of a congressional panel accused the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on Monday of hiding a former official’s emails related to a 2013 controversy involving IRS treatment of conservative groups.

Representative Darrell Issa criticized what he called “obstruction by the IRS” over emails written by Lois Lerner that the committee wants for review. The agency said last week it lost some of Lerner’s emails in a computer crash. Continue reading “Darrell Issa Slams IRS Over Emails In Tea Party Scandal”

WASHINGTON – The well-organized army of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, claims it has access to nuclear weapons and a will to use them to “liberate” Palestine from Israel as part of its “Islamic Spring,” according to a WND source in the region.

Franklin Lamb, an international lawyer based in Beirut and Damascus, said the move is part of the ISIS aim of creating a caliphate under strict Islamic law, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to Iraq.   Continue reading “Iraq invaders threaten nuke attack on Israel”

Utah state troopers who used a drug dog as a pretense to search a car belonging to an innocent woman are in legal trouble. The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on Friday ruled that the victims could sue the troopers for spending two hours rifling through their vehicle without finding anything unlawful, in violation of their constitutional rights.

Utah State Trooper Brian Bairett had been running a speed trap on Interstate 15 when a Jeep driven by Sherida Felders passed through. Bairett said he developed probable cause during the traffic stop because she was nervous, had an air freshener and her license plate holder said “Jesus.” Continue reading “Federal Court: Cops Cannot Push Drug Dog Into Open Car Door”

You don’t have to look far to find information on foods and herbs that have detoxifying properties. And while many of them may be effective, few of these claims have been put to the test in a lab. Broccoli is one vegetable that has been tested and passed with flying colors, indicating it can help rid the body of potentially harmful toxins and help detoxify the body as a whole.

Published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, a recent study indicates there is something in broccoli (and it’s sprouts) that can “rapidly” and “sustainably” detox airborne pollutants from the body.   Continue reading “Good News: Compound in Broccoli Proven to Rid Body of Toxic Pollutants”

The “too big to fail” premise has become a popular slogan in U.S. political and economic theories. According to proponents, the theory ascertains that some institutions are so large and important and vital that they must be supported at all costs. However, from corporations and financial institutions to government bureaucracies and social programs, over-taxation, cronyism, inefficiency and moral ineptitude is causing many to question and challenge such a preposterous notion. In reality, universal truths and historical cycles reveal just the opposite. What some perceive to be as too big to fail always becomes “too big not to fail.” And bailouts create more problems and cause more hard hardships.   Continue reading “Is U.S. Stuck in ‘Too Big To Fail’ Illusions?”

Robert Shellmyer was relieved to see last week at his hometown’s 175th anniversary celebration that the local police department’s new prized possession was not driving alongside the tractors and floats in the parade.

That’s because a 45,000 pound, explosion-resistant vehicle from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan might spoil the mood.   Continue reading “As wars wind down, small-town cops inherit armored vehicles”

Now that the U.S. government has released parts of its We-Can-Kill-People-With-Drones memo, it’s hard to miss why it was kept secret until now.

Liberal professors and human rights groups and the United Nations were claiming an inability to know whether drone murders were legal or not because they hadn’t seen the memo that the White House said legalized them. Some may continue to claim that the redactions in the memo make judgment impossible.   Continue reading “So That’s Why They Kept the Drone Kill Memo Secret”

Moments after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was elected the new majority leader, La Raza and other Hispanic and Asian ethnic groups demanded a vote on amnesty.

“The new Majority Leader can either schedule a House floor vote on workable immigration reform or he can kill the best chance in decades to fix the immigration system and miss a big opportunity to work with Latino, AAPI, and immigrant communities,” they said in a Wednesday statement. “Our communities and our country need a response now.”   Continue reading “La Raza Demands Amnesty Vote from New Maj.

The dollar’s status as the international reserve currency being as good as gold has been under attack for some time. The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) have allied themselves with 80 other nations to take down the dollar as a reserve currency. In the past many nations around the world had to either use gold or British pounds to buy goods from overseas. Until recently people on two different continents had no choice but to use US dollars to buy and sell from each other. Those days are rapidly disappearing. China is setting up direct currency exchange hubs in London, in Germany, Australia and in other American allied states.   Continue reading “The Perfect Storm: Amnesty, Hyperinflation, Food Riots, Race Wars”
