Excerpted from The College Fix: When Hillary Clinton visited Yale University last fall to accept an award, 100 students signed up for a campus group dedicated to supporting her likely 2016 presidential election bid.

It’s one example of how a grassroots movement to get the first female president elected is taking hold on college campuses nationwide. Her mobilizers are already actively rallying support there, determined not to let a key voting bloc slip through her grasp this time.   Continue reading “Effort Launched To Mobilize Hillary Clinton Campus Armies”

Gov. Rick Perry continued to work to get Travis County DA Rosemary Lehmbergto resign even after following through on the threat to veto money for the public integrity unit. The Tribune’s Terri Langford reported Tuesday night — citing unnamed sources — that Perry through emissaries offered to restore the money if Lehmberg would leave:

The sources said the offer was made to Lehmberg through several back channels: If Lehmberg — a Democrat whose office was in charge of investigating state officeholders — would resign, Perry would restore the two years in state funds, about $7.5 million, that he had vetoed following her April 12, 2013, arrest and subsequent guilty plea.   Continue reading “The Brief: Perry Worked to Get Lehmberg Resignation Even After Veto”

Police in sometime-U.S. ally Pakistan arrested a nine month old infant, along with his family, for an alleged assassination attempt on the cops who raided the family home. The cops went on to charge the infant with assault, claiming he pelting them with stones.

This is not a story from the Onion. The case actually went to court, where the baby cried throughout the trial as lawyers of both sides argued the case. The baby also was visibly upset as his grandfather was made to hold his thumb to dip it in ink and put its print on the bail bonds, as the tot could not sign the documents himself. At other points the defendent was quieter, busy suckling on his pacifier and bottle. The perp is pictured above.   Continue reading “Pakistan: Police Arrest 9-Month Old Infant on Murder Charges”

The Czechoslovakian Velvet Revolution

On November 17, 1989, riot police suppressed a peaceful student demonstration in Communist-ruled Prague. The event sparked a series of popular demonstrations from November 19 to late December. By November 20, the number of peaceful protesters assembled in Prague had swollen from 200,000 the previous day to an estimated half-million. A two-hour general strike, involving all citizens of Czechoslovakia, was held on November 27. Eleven days after the initial student protest, on November 28, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakian announced it would relinquish power and dismantle the single-party state. 12 days later on December 10, President Gustáv Husák appointed the first largely non-communist government in Czechoslovakia in over 40 years, and then resigned.   Continue reading “America, Is It Time For A Velvet Revolution?”

A fungus called coffee rust has caused more than $1 billion in damage across Latin American. The fungus is especially deadly to Arabica coffee – that’s the bean that makes up most high-end, specialty coffees.   Continue reading “A&M Set to Help with Brewing Troubles From Coffee Fungus”

We can add Captain America: The Winter Soldier to the list of recent blockbuster films containing themes that are critical of America’s growing police state and war on terror. Other major films like Oblivion, Ender’s Game, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek: Into Darkness have all recently taken shots at these important issues, but none have packed quite the patriotic punch that Marvel’s symbolic fascism fighter has delivered in this new sequel.   Continue reading “New Captain America Film Takes On Obama’s Kill List and the New World Order”

The Gadsden flag has a very long and rich history in this country.

Depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike and the words “Dont tread on me,” the flag is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden.  Gadsden designed the flag in 1775 during the American revolution.  It was also used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag.   Continue reading “High School Student “Not Welcome” At School After Flying The Gadsden Flag”

Cop Block

On the Cop Block Facebook page, comments on this blog, and on my YouTube channel, and really anywhere you say anything negative about police in general, there is one common theme you can expect to hear from the voting cattle and government propagandabots. “You shouldn’t paint with such a broad brush, sure there are some bad cops out there, but most cops are good guys. Maybe not most, but some of them exist. Someday you might need a cop” or some variation thereof.

Hang the Bankers – by Filip K

Vice President Joe Biden‘s son and a close friend of Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson have joined the board of a Ukrainian gas producer controlled by a former top security and energy official for deposed President Viktor Yanukovych.

The move has attracted attention given Messrs. Biden’s and Kerry’s public roles in diplomacy toward Ukraine, where the U.S. expressed support for pro-Western demonstrators who toppled Mr. Yanukovych’s Kremlin-backed government in February. The uprising provoked a pro-Russia backlash that has plunged the post-Soviet republic into conflict and brought it to the brink of civil war.    Continue reading “John Kerry’s friend joins the Board of Ukrainian gas producer, same company as Joe Biden’s son”

A man in Illinois has tested positive for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) but has shown no signs of illness, US health officials say. The case may shed light on milder forms of the new deadly virus that kills 30 percent of those infected.

The man is a business associate of an Indiana resident who was confirmed as the first US case of the deadly Middle East virus, and likely contracted it from him. Though he did not seek or require medical help and is reported to be feeling well, a blood test on Friday showed he had developed antibodies to MERS, said officials at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).    Continue reading “Illinois resident tests positive for MERS but doesn’t fall ill”
