Fake Jewish Community Center Shooter Frazier Cross is a Zionist AgentNoDisinfo

Frazier Cross, aka Glenn Frazier Cross and Glenn Miller, is not a man supporting any white man’s cause. Rather, he is a supporter of the cause of Zionism. That’s because rather than an enemy of the Jews/Zionism he is actually a Zionist Jew in disguise.

In reference to last week’s “Spring Meetings” between the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, critics are calling on the two financial giants to put their money where their mouths are and initiate policies that fight growing global inequality, rather than create it.

In the build-up to the annual meetings between finance ministers, central bankers and other top officials, three reports were published by the IMF and World Bank that warn about the growing gap between the global rich and poor. These reports call for a change in IMF and World Bank lending and advisory policies including the implentation of measures that would eradicate global tax evasion and create tax code reform that benefits the poor over the rich.   Continue reading “World’s Financial Elite Get Lofty on ‘Inequality,’ But Critics Unimpressed”

The Sheriff even says the raid could possibly include violence as the fed was not likely to initiate a scenario it is not prepared to win. Especially not after the humiliating defeat suffered by the BLM as it was forced to retreat last Saturday.

The Bundy Ranch will not be caught off guard, though, as news reports make it clear the property is now prepared with heavily armed security.   Continue reading “Bundy Ranch Now Surrounded by Heavily Armed Guards as Talk of Federal Raid Picks Up”

image001It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there’s nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.

My name is Ron. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Carol Anne. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Carol Anne to get a full-time job, along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work.   Continue reading “Advice From Retired Husband”

The United States Navy has finally christened a first-of-its-kind, state-of-the-art ship that, at 610-feet-long and roughly $7 billion, is the largest and most expensive stealth destroyer ever built.

Initially, the Navy wanted to commission the construction of 32 different DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyers, but escalating costs amid nearly two decades of development forced the Pentagon to eventually pursue only seven ships, then three.   Continue reading “Navy christens most expensive stealth destroyer ever”
