The drone issue is just another topic in which President Barrack Obama has proven himself to be a world-class liar and master of deception. Despite his claims that drone strikes do little damage to civilian populations, in July we discovered that “of the 746 people killed in drone strikes in Pakistan from 2006-2009, an incredible 20% were civilians and 94 (13% of the total) were children.”

I suppose that number just isn’t good enough, because The Pentagon has decided to change the rules of engagement when it comes to drone strikes, now making it easier to target civilians. From The Washington Times:   Continue reading “U.S. Military Changes Drone Rules To Make Targeting Of Civilians Easier”

Nelson Mandela was a radical Marxist and a firm advocate of abortion, pornography, homosexuality and legalizing prostitution, according to a prominent Christian missionary who was summoned to the home of the South African president.

Rev. Peter Hammond, founder of Frontline Fellowship and Africa Christian Nation, has worked for nearly 30 years helping persecuted Christians in Africa. As a result of Hammond’s visit with Mandela – in which the missionary laid hands on the president and prayed for him to see abortion for what it really is, the merciless slaughter of innocent human life – Hammond was subjected to a 13-year audit of his organization.   Continue reading “Nelson Mandela was a Radical Marxist”

The new rules force Metro-North to modify its signals and train-control systems to prevent the kind of high-speed crash that killed four passengers and injured 75 others in the Bronx on Sunday, when a Hudson Line train jumped the tracks at 82 mph on a curve with a 30 mph speed limit.   Continue reading “U.S. Orders Safety Improvements At Metro-North”

Russian flag incident at Bloodhound Gang concert in Odessa RT News

The Fair Russia party has put forward a bill that classifies insulting a Russian’s patriotism as extremism, making it a criminal offence punishable with a prison term.

The feeling must also involve the love to this country, responsible attitude to its fate and respect to its culture and history. If approved, the bill would make insults to such feelings equal to extremist activities – a criminal offence with punishment ranging from 100,000 ruble fine (about $3000) up to five years behind bars.   Continue reading “Opposition party proposes 5 year jail term for insulting patriotism”

Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) is a red state Democrat who voted for gun control earlier this year and is now losing ground in the polls.

To be fair, Hagan and other red state Democrats were assured this would not happen.

For example, just weeks weeks after Hagan voted for Senator Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) failed gun control bill on April 17th, various media outlets reported that her support for gun control would actually help her in North Carolina. TalkingPointsMemo said Hagan “actually bolstered [her 2014] re-election prospects by supporting” Manchin’s gun bill.    Continue reading “Senator Hagan Loses Ground After Voting for Gun Control”
