The father of an American soldier who was just released after spending five years in the hands of the Taliban says his family is starting on the next step of a long mission: Helping Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl recover from his ordeal.

“We’re still in recovery mode ourselves, let alone our concern about how Bowe is going to come back, and what we need to work on,” Bob Bergdahl told dozens of journalists and supporters during a press conference in Boise on Sunday.   Continue reading “Freed Soldier’s Parents Say They’re Proud of Son”

An unexpected consequence of the fall of the U.S.S.R. was the number of ordinary citizens who poured out of Russian apartments to topple statues of Lenin, the most visible symbols of 70 years of oppression by the Soviet state. In spite of my years, my fantasy is someday to see angry American citizens emerging to destroy whichever of the countless symbols of the oppressive U.S. government they deem to be most objectionable.

Based on the narrative in an engaging new book by Nina Teicholz, among such future hordes of angry and resentful Americans may well be those afflicted with an array of health problems that have come to be known in the past few decades as ‘metabolic syndrome.’  The disorders associated with this pattern are persistent belly fat, high blood pressure, raised triglyceride levels, low HDL (‘good’) cholesterol, and increased blood sugar – all of which indicate above-average risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, and type-2 diabetes.   Continue reading “Justified Anger from America’s Unhealthy”

Swiss authorities covered up for 18 months that over a 100kg of radioactive radium paint was found at a local dump during roadwork. The radiation level measured at the site exceeded the normal level by 100 times, Swiss weeklies report.

An old dump in the canton of Bern, near the town of Bienne with 50,000 inhabitants turned out to be a radioactive waste repository site, storing some 120kg of highly radioactive radium-based paint, once used by the watch-making industry to illuminate the watch faces’ numbers and clock hands, AFP reported.   Continue reading “Swiss watch botch: Dumped radioactive pollution concealed for 18 months”

An earth tremor that took place in a densely populated area west of Los Angeles on Sunday evening set on alert the seaside from Malibu down to the Manhattan Beach. There have been no immediate reports about damage or people injured.

Initially, the US Geological Survey (USGS) measured the quake’s magnitude at 3.8, but later revised the magnitude to 4.2. The earthquake that took place at 7:36am PDT originated from the Santa Monica Mountains, some 4 miles (6.4km) northwest of Westwood, was reported to be shallow, yet caused two aftershocks.   Continue reading “4.2 magnitude earthquake jolts West LA”

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s King Juan Carlos, who led Spain’s transition from dictatorship to democracy but faced royal scandals amid the nation’s near financial meltdown, announced Monday he will abdicate in favor of his son, making way for a “new generation.”

The king told Spaniards in a nationwide address that he first started thinking seriously about giving up the throne when he turned 76 in January. He said Monday that the 46-year-old Crown Prince Felipe is ready for the post and will “open a new era of hope combining his acquired experience and the drive of a new generation.”   Continue reading “Spain: King Abdicates for His ‘New Generation’ Son”

Forwarded from the secret Special Forces unauthorized back channel frequency:

“We were at OP Mest, Paktika Province, Afghanistan. It was a small outpost where B Co 1-501st INF (Airbone) ran operations out of, just an Infantry platoon and ANA counterparts there. The place was an Afghan graveyard. Bergdahl had been acting a little strange, telling people he wanted to “walk the earth” and kept a little journal talking about how he was meant for better things. No one thought anything about it. He was a little “out there”. Next morning he’s gone.   Continue reading “U.S. Special Forces Back Channel Account on Bowe Bergdahl Desertion”

Recently I posed the question as to whether the release of the identity of the CIA Station Chief in Afghanistan was an act of consummate stupidity or just plain out and out Treason.

I believe that today’s announcement of a prisoner exchange of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban prisoners, who, until now, were being held in Guantánamo Bay, answers that question beyond any and all possible extremes of “reasonable doubt.” Continue reading “Obama’s Prisoner Exchange – Yet Another Act of Treason”

Editor’s Note: I post the following with great remembrances of my family’s own dealing with CPS in our state. It was not pretty and the incompetence of the social workers we dealt with, as well as many of the doctors was staggering, but to have children taken and then trafficked to who knows where and to whom is sickening. Once you read this piece, take time to read this additional article, which can be found here, concerning Benghazi and child trafficking. I have not had contact with Dave’s source, but I was contacted directly by the woman who fed the late Nancy Schaefer her information on the child sex trafficking going on from the east coast into the San Diego area and out to the world. This woman’s children were taken from her, but she was able to get one of them back and flee to Mexico. There is much more I could disclose about this woman and may do so at a future date. For now, the threat is real in the United States that children are being stolen from families, put into sex trafficking rings and being trafficked around the world, and in some cases it’s to fund Muslim warfare in other countries, and apparently Barack Obama supports it.    Continue reading “Child Protective Services Stealing & Sex Trafficking Children Stories Could Get You Killed – But They Must Be Exposed”

The teacher is Alan Barron, reports the Monroe News. The 59-year-old teacher has taught in the local school district for well over three decades and is retiring in just two weeks.   Continue reading “Middle School Teacher Suspended For Showing Video About White Actors Wearing Blackface”

George Soros told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria over the weekend he is responsible for establishing a foundation in Ukraine that ultimately contributed to the overthrow of the country’s elected leader and the installation of a junta handpicked by the State Department.

“First on Ukraine, one of the things that many people recognized about you was that you during the revolutions of 1989 funded a lot of dissident activities, civil society groups in eastern Europe and Poland, the Czech Republic. Are you doing similar things in Ukraine?” Zakaria asked Soros.   Continue reading “Soros Admits Responsibility for Coup and Mass Murder in Ukraine”

In a picturesque open-air picnic area with a creek running through it, hundreds gathered in one of the most memorably political events in Georgia’s history. Following prayer, the singing of the national anthem, and the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, Governor Nathan Deal signed into law, effective July 1, the most liberal gun carry legislation in the country. The popular Safe Carry Protection Act of 2014, known by anti-Second Amendment adversaries as the “Guns Everywhere Law,” passed with by-partisan support in the State House 112-58 and in the State Senate 37-18.   Continue reading ““Guns Everywhere Law,” now Signed”
