LAS VEGAS — Tensions are growing as people in the community of Bunkerville are trying to stop federal agents from taking cattle off of public land. Rangers had tasers ready to go as they faced a few dozen protesters Wednesday.

The finance chairman of the Republican national committee, Ray Washburne, travelled to Chicago last Wednesday to solicit money from two big funders who had reached their donation limit for this election cycle.

He came back with promises of more cash.  Continue reading “Thought money could buy an American election? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet”

The Great American Grocery HoaxNutritional Anarchy

There is a big secret out there in the grocery store aisles that no one wants you to know.  There is a hoax of monumental proportions that is being perpetrated on the American public.

Before I tell you what it is, let me remind you of some things that you already know.

It’s no secret at all that the American economy is in dire straits. Unemployment has skyrocketed and today’s dollars buy a lot less than the dollars of just a few years ago. Even the most thrifty shopper will pay substantially more for a cart full of groceries.  To make matters worse, our country’s main food-producing areas have been devastated by droughts, and you can expect that prices will only go up from here.   Continue reading “The Great American Grocery Hoax”

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) — A Pentagon spokesman said Wednesday that the fatal shooting of a Marine on guard duty by a colleague at a North Carolina base appears to have been an accident.

Indications point to a “negligent discharge” as the cause of Tuesday’s death in a guard shack at the main gate to Camp Lejeune, Department of Defense spokesman Army Col. Steven Warren told reporters.

“It appears right now to have been an accident,” Warren said.   Continue reading “Pentagon: Shooting at NC base likely accidental”

Kingsnake – August 25, 2013

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management announced it will kill hundreds of threatened desert tortoises it’s been caring for at a Nevada conservation facility. The slaughter is being blamed on a lack of funds by the agency.

Real estate developers in southern Nevada who wanted to disrupt the habitat of threatened desert tortoises to build their little enclaves of air conditioning and irrigation in the arid suburbs of Las Vegas have been able to do so — for a fee. And while at the height of the real estate boom those fees went a long way toward providing refuge for displaced tortoises, the real estate bust has seen the program implode.   Continue reading “BLM killed hundreds of desert tortoises in 2013 as its conservation center ran out of money”

Healthcare in America before and after Obama has been organized for the benefit of Big Pharma and Wall Street. Americans paid $3.8 trillion last year for healthcare but they get less than any industrialized nation. America has 31% of the total population of the 34 most industrialized nations. The US has 38% of live births but 60% of all the infants in the 34 industrialized world who are born and die in their first 24 hours do so in the USA.

We do have talented doctors and nurses who are equipped to save lives but the cost is prohibitively high and the overall results are meager.   Continue reading “Healthcare Reform, Insurance And Self-Determination”

[Tenches on the road (1)Bulldog and Missy have generously offered to have bumper stickers made to be donated to the Trenches.  Their idea is for our people to donate (seeing as how we have lost a few sponsors) in return for a bumper sticker.  We have replied that we will accept the offer of the first batch and will have more made with the proceeds.  As soon as we receive them we will post the announcement with pictures of the bumper sticker.  Thanks Bulldog and Missy.  – Admin.]

I designed some different Trenchers stickers, I feel are a little better than the other ones, I thought it would be fun to have the Trenchers vote on it in the comments and add what words they would add in places they could. I would like to order more, but I figured it would be nice to have input!!!!    Continue reading “Input Needed on New Trenches Bumper Stickers”

Tensions between Russia and the West are hitting a new peak. And in this face-off, Moscow has an extraordinary piece of leverage: a super-sophisticated, bomber-killing missile that it once threatened to sell to Iran.

Last week, Reuters first reported Russia was preparing an oil-for-goods deal with Iran worth up to $20 billion. An unnamed Iranian official told the news service that the barter would include Russian weapons. And that was before further signs of Russia’s shadow invasion of Ukraine emerged Monday, when crowds spontaneously appeared in three major eastern cities to welcome the troops amassed over the border. The Daily Beast reported that associates of Viktor Yanukovych, the deposed and Kremlin-friendly Ukrainian president, were meeting with pro-Russian activists. One keen-eyed photographer captured a man wearing a Russian Airborne forces tee-shirt at one of the protests.   Continue reading “Russia’s Ace in the Hole: Iran”
