If you thought the Bush family was essentially done attempting to run the country, you are wrong.

Meet George P. Bush, son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, nephew of former President George W. Bush, grandson of former President George H. W. Bush, and great grandson of former Senator Prescott Bush for whom his middle initial stands.    Continue reading “Meet George P. Bush, Our Next Ruler from the Bush Dynasty”

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — New “Infinity Machine!” Yes. “Quantum Leap?” Yes. “The Future of Computing?” Well, no IPO yet. No Dell laptops. But wow, Time’s cover story sure is heaping praise on the amazing new quantum physics computer technology:

New quantum computing “promises to solve some of humanity’s most complex problems … backed by Jeff Bezos, NASA and the CIA … each costs $10,000,000 … operates at 459 degrees below zero.” Even the fact that “nobody knows how it actually works” isn’t a problem, says Time’s Lev Grossman. Why? Quantum computing “will change how we cure disease, explore the heavens and do business on Earth.”   Continue reading “10 weapons Wall Street uses to manipulate you”

US President Barack Obama said he is mulling steps to put pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad to kickstart the stalled Geneva peace conference. But Russia’s FM Sergey Lavrov says every attempt is being made to derail the peace process.

Obama’s comments were delivered while meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah in California on Friday to discuss a range of issues, including the current Syrian stalemate.   Continue reading “Obama considers new steps against Syria ‘to pressure’ Assad”

Troy, Mo.—In a cramped, carpeted amphitheater in the basement of Troy Buchanan High School, 69 students are waiting to die.

“You’ll know when it pops off,” says Robert Bowen, the school’s campus police officer. “If you get engaged with one of the shooters, you’ll know it.”   Continue reading “Fake Blood and Blanks: Schools Stage Active Shooter Drills”

We haven’t heard much from Amazon since CEO Jeff Bezos announced back in December that the retailer had ambitious plans to eventually roll out a fleet of drones to deliver your packages. But if the idea of having whirly-bladed quad-copters bringing you that Doctor Who box set you ordered in a haze at 4 a.m. last Friday night sounds a little farfetched, there’s at least one place drone delivery could soon become a reality: the United Arab Emirates.   Continue reading “Coming soon to the UAE: Delivery drones that scan your eyeballs”

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a final rule on February 12 creating an exemption for residue tolerance levels in soy foods and feed for the biological pesticide Bt used in GMO crops.  Similar exemptions have already been approved for corn and cotton food and products.

The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, commonly known as Bt, has been widely used in organic agriculture for decades as a natural pesticide, because it produces a toxin that kills certain insects. In recent years, the DNA from the Bt bacterium has been incorporated into genetically modified corn, cotton and soybean crops to protect the plants from insects like the corn borer and cotton bollworm.   Continue reading “EPA Approves Exemption for Bt Residues in Soy Foods From GMO Crops”

Hell-bent on arming opposition forces in Syria—despite strong evidence that they’re run by Islamic terrorists—John McCain displayed behavior unbecoming of a United States Senator during a recent meeting with Syrian Christian leaders touring Capitol Hill.

The delegation of Syrian clergy came to Washington to raise awareness among lawmakers of the growing crisis among the region’s minority Christian community. Christians make up about 10% of the Syrian population and they are being targeted and ruthlessly murdered by radical elements of the rebel forces, according to the visiting church officials. They say the media and human rights groups in the west have been largely silent on the ordeal of the Christians in Syria.   Continue reading “GOP Senator Apologizes for McCain Tantrum at Syrian Christian Leader Meeting”

We reckon that anti-gunners will do just about anything to try to trick people into thinking that gun sales are tanking and that Americans therefore are ready to support the full array of restrictions envisioned by our “transform the United States of America” president, Barack Obama.

Yesterday, Bloomberg Businessweek featured an article by Kyle Stock that juggled monthly numbers of firearm-related checks conducted by the National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS) to make it appear that, as Stock put it, “Americans, apparently, may finally have enough guns and ammunition.”  Stock explained, “FBI background checks, a leading indicator of firearm demand, have also been dropping. Federal applications to make a gun purchase last month were one-third fewer (sic) than a year ago.”   Continue reading “Bloomberg and CNN pretend Americans don’t want guns”

“Edward Snowden sacrificed his livelihood, citizenship and freedom by exposing the disturbing scope of the NSA’s worldwide spying program,” said former Rep. Ron Paul in a video released on his website Thursday.

“Thanks to one man’s courageous actions, Americans know about the truly egregious ways their government is spying on them,” Paul said, which is why the former lawmaker has started a petition demanding the National Security Agency whistleblower be granted clemency.   Continue reading “Ron Paul Launches Petition To Bring Snowden Safely Back To US”
