As the Israeli military continues to relentlessly bombs Gaza as part of ‘Operation Protective Edge’, at least 44 Palestinians civilians, including women, children and infants, have been killed with an additional 300 injured, according to medical statistics.
A Texas town south of Houston has launched a pre-emptive strike prohibiting the federal government from using facilities in their community as shelters to house the overflow of illegal immigrants flooding the southern U.S. border.
“The League City council voted 6-2 to adopt the resolution Tuesday night. It refuses any request from the federal government to set up detention or processing centers there, citing unspecified ‘health concerns,’” reports the Associated Press. Continue reading “Texas Town: No Quarter for Illegals”
Britain’s state broadcaster, the BBC, is once again telling the world, blatantly and shamelessly, that Israeli lives are worth more than Palestinian lives.
Yup, that appears to be a picture of the adorably whiskered face of a rat (mouse?) poking out of someone’s wrap sandwich from Chop’t. Forest Hills dweller Steven Henderson Tweeted the above photo earlier this afternoon after a colleague allegedly found the unwelcome ingredient guest inside their sandwich after they’d already taken a bite. Good luck ever eating again, unfortunate lunch eater. Continue reading “Dead Rodent Allegedly Found In Wrap From NYC Chop’t”
Growing up, I heard lots of complaints from parents and teachers about children being conceited, proud, and arrogant. Looking back, it seems to me that most of these complaints were related to a failure to obey. We did have one or two kids who were arrogant jerks, but the rest of us received the same comments they did.
But whatever motivated the adults of my youth, they were mostly wrong – it’s not our overvaluation of ourselves that is the real problem; it’s our undervaluation. Continue reading “We have Undervalued Ourselves”
An internal summary of Border Patrol operations at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nogales (Arizona) Placement Center stated that 16 unaccompanied immigrant children being held at the facility are members of Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) transnational criminal gang.
The summary, which was obtained by the Townhall online magazine, noted that Border Patrol officials at Nogales were alerted to the MS-13 presence among the detainees when they discovered gang-related graffiti in the walls of the processing center. It stated: Continue reading “Illegal Immigrant “Children” Include MS-13 Gang Members”
As everyone knows, the U.S. government is operating under strict austerity budgeting, pinching every penny and slashing every expense. Despite this reality, the White House still found some money to renovate its bowling alley.
It looks like it’s time to start filing EEOC claims, suing and boycotting these companies along with others too. These companies and temporary staffing agencies are way outta control. They are posting a lot of jobs that are based in the United States of America in foreign countries like India, China, Mexico, Philippines, Russia etc. then hiring them to do the job here. Continue reading “Boycott IBM, Manpower, Infosys, Harley Davidson, & Abusive Temp Staffing Agencies”
Unlike the terrorist offenses in Libya, Syria, and now Iraq, backed by the United States, the UK, the EU, members of NATO as well as regional collaborators such as Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Qatar, where any attempts to stop extremists from seizing entire nations is met by the West’s howling indignation and accusations of “human rights abuses,” the unmitigated brutality executed by literal Nazis in Ukraine against breakaway provinces in the east are accompanied by a hypocritical silence from the West. Refugees streaming away from encircled and bombarded populated centers tell tales of mass murder, indiscriminate targeting of civilians, and even grisly accounts of forced organ harvesting taking place from the bodies of those killed by Kiev’s combined arms offensive, or from those kidnapped by criminal gangs operating in the vacuum of impunity afforded by the West’s silence.

EFF is in Ottawa this week for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations, to influence the course of discussions over regressive digital policy provisions in this trade agreement that could lead to an increasingly restrictive Internet. But this round is different from the others—the secrecy around the talks is wholly unprecedented. The Canadian trade ministry, who is hosting this round of talks, has likely heightened the confidentiality due to the mass public opposition that is growing against this undemocratic, corporate-driven trade deal. Continue reading “TPP Negotiations Go Further Underground with Unprecedented Secrecy Around Meetings in Canada”
Very recently I came across a scenario in the streets of Hollywood, California. The big scene seemed a bit striking to the average person walking by as it was the middle of the day in a crowded busy Hollywood street. A closer look caused me to be even more intrigued – there was a gentleman being arrested. He was in handcuffs and surrounded by three or four armed officers. Or were they really officers?
A new, ultra-thin type of ATM skimmer has been identified by the European ATM Security Team (East) in its latest report.
The thin skimmer improves on previous designs by fitting directly inside the card slot, but was only seen in one country that the non-profit group investigated.
The Obama administration has listed a Central American street gang as an international criminal organisation subject to US sanctions.
This is first time the designation has been given to such a group in the US. MS-13, which started as a Los Angeles gang composed largely of Salvadorian immigrants, is believed to have as many as 10,000 members across 46 US states and Central America. Members have been accused of kidnapping, murder, drug smuggling and human trafficking. Continue reading “United States classifies MS-13 street gang a global criminal organisation”
