A Texas man accused of killing six people, including four children, was turned away by a teenager when he first went to the victims’ home, but he returned a short time later, kicked in the door, tied up the family and then shot them in the head execution style, according to court testimony today.

Ron Haskell, 33, was charged with capital murder following his arrest after a long standoff with police in Spring, Texas.

The carnage ended when a wounded 15-year-old girl called 911 and alerted police to the shooting and said that the gunman was on his way to shoot her grandparents, police said. Cops intercepted Haskell, who was related to the victims, and took him into custody following a tense standoff.   Continue reading “Texas Shooter Kicked in Door, Tied Up Kids, Executed Them”

Dale Carnegie wrote ‘How To Win Friends And Influence People’ in 1936. George W Bush and Barrack Obama are the only Presidents adults under 35 have known since turning 18. If Bush and Obama were to collaborate on a book, it should be entitled ‘How To Lose Friends And Get Kicked Out Of Clubs.’

Does anyone believe what the President of the United States says? Are there any Americans who  think their government wants to do what is best for them? Would anyone anywhere in the world want the United States to send their military to rescue them? Do poor people in the Third World actually want American Aid if they have to take GMO food? Do bank depositors around the world trust the dollar not to collapse? How many people overseas expect the American government will supply the troops needed to kidnap dissidents and suppress the poor whenever the New World Order demands it?   Continue reading “Obama And Bush: How To Lose Friends And Get Kicked Out Of Clubs”

In February 2014, WOLA investigators paid a 12-day visit to several points along Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala. This visit was part of a larger project, begun in the second half of 2013, to monitor border security conditions, migration trends, and recent policy changes affecting this region.

Staff from WOLA’s Migration and Border Security Program have visited six sectors of Mexico’s 1,969-mile northern border with the United States since 2011, and we have reported from several of them. This is our first report on Mexico’s 714-mile southern border zone. It comes after several months of preparatory research—combing official documents, interviewing officials, and paying site visits—followed by our February research trip.   Continue reading “New WOLA report on Mexico’s Southern Border”

Murrieta police say Border Patrol officials notified them late Wednesday afternoon that there will be no flights of immigrants from Texas arriving in San Diego on Thursday or for the rest of the week.

More than a week after protesters thwarted federal officials’ efforts to send three busloads of migrants flown in from Texas to the Murrieta U.S. Border Patrol station, anti-illegal immigration activists were vowing to continue their efforts to keep the migrants away.  Continue reading “MURRIETA: No more flights of migrants arriving this week, police say”

The following is a farewell note from the owners of Bolzano Artisan meats:

By this point, you already know how we were forced to shut down because of actions by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, but now the financial damage has forced us to close our doors on our plant on Holton Street for good. We are working behind the scenes to relaunch the company, perhaps with the help of other great local food innovators in our state. It might take months, it might take many years – we just can’t tell at this point.    Continue reading “Arrivederci Bolzano”

Israel’s assault on the people of Gaza “dramatically escalated” overnight as hundreds of missiles bombed the civilian population living in the walled-off territory.

According to the Ma’an new agency’s latest reporting, the airstrikes “killed 30 Palestinians overnight Wednesday and Thursday, including a family of eight, bringing the total death toll [this week] to 81.”   Continue reading “Gaza Death Toll Soars As Israel Intensifies Bombing Campaign”

A highly concerning new study published in the journal Biomedical Research International reveals that despite the still relatively benign reputation of agrochemicals such as Roundup herbicide, many chemical formulations upon which the modern agricultural system depend are far more toxic than present regulatory tests performed on them reveal. Roundup herbicide, for instance, was found to be 125 times more toxic than its active ingredient glyphosate studied in isolation.

Titled, “Major pesticides are more toxic to human cells than their declared active principles,” the study evaluated to what extent the active principle (AP) and the so-called ‘inert ingredients,’ i.e. adjuvants, in globally popular formulations account for the toxicity of 9 major pesticides: 3 herbicides, 3 insecticides, and 3 fungicides.   Continue reading “New Study finds Monsanto’s Roundup Herbicide 125 Times More Toxic Than Regulators Say”

I have made no bones about the fact that the ultimate authority on the issue of homosexuality is the Bible and it is crystal clear in condemning it. If others want to cite polls and commentaries and “experts” to attempt to bolster their claim in favor of homosexuality, they are welcome to do so. However, what I find a bit disingenuous are those that will talk about rights within the context of the Constitution, which was written by men, not God as though the men who wrote it and backed it would have sided with practicing homosexuals today on the issue of marriage. I can tell you that the issue of marriage would have never been addressed as it is today, simply because the view of homosexuality was addressed first, thus making the point of same-sex “marriage” a ridiculous notion.   Continue reading “What The Founding Fathers Believed About Homosexuality”

What do a Republican candidate, a military veteran, a civil rights activist and a professor have in common? They are all American Muslims – and all have been subject to pervasive surveillance by the NSA and FBI.

A report published by The Intercept on Wednesday reveals that the two agencies used secretive procedures designed to catch terrorists and spies to monitor the email accounts of prominent American Muslim leaders. Among the documents supplied by Edward Snowden, a spreadsheet titled “FISA recap” contains 7,485 email addresses apparently monitored between 2002 and 2008. (The report also clearly documents how biased training by the FBI leads to biased surveillance, and that calling Muslims “ragheads” is everyday lingo at federal law enforcement agencies.)   Continue reading “Don’t be shocked that the US spied on American Muslims.

Just days before its international debut at an airshow in the United Kingdom, the entire fleet of the Pentagon’s next generation fighter plane — known as the F-35 II Lightning, or the Joint Strike Fighter — has been grounded, highlighting just what a boondoggle the project has been. With the vast amounts spent so far on the aircraft, the United States could have worked wonders, including providing every homeless person in the U.S. a $600,000 home.   Continue reading “Americans Have Spent Enough Money On A Broken Plane To Buy Every Homeless Person A Mansion”
