WASHINGTON — “I just denied your motion to dismiss,” U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon told Department of Justice attorney Marcia Berman.

“Do you understand that?” he asked, speaking slowly and deliberately, as though to a child.

The judge appeared frequently perplexed by Berman’s explanations Monday afternoon in the federal courtroom as to why the government was not prepared to argue its case after filing a motion three weeks ago asking him to halt further proceedings while appeals go forward in the nation’s biggest spy case.   Continue reading “Judge Mocks Obama’s NSA Lawyer”

So it’s now called “Arctic Warming”.

The elites: It’s called “Global Warming”!…Nope, nope that doesn’t work. Oh I know, let’s call it “Climate Change”!…Nope, nope that doesn’t work either. Darn! Hmm….Ah! I got it! We’ll call it “Arctic Warming”! Yea, that’s it.

Don’t worry. If the sheeple don’t believe us, we’ll throw in some “Arctic Warming” Scooby Snacks. Get’s them all the time.

The Arctic is leading a race with few winners, warming twice as fast as the rest of the Earth. Loss of snow and ice, which reflect the sun’s energy, is usually blamed for the Arctic temperature spike.   Continue reading “Arctic’s ‘Layer Cake’ Atmosphere Blamed for Rapid Warming”

Members of Congress and their aides took more free trips around the world in 2013 than in any year since new restrictions were put in place after the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling scandal.

The website LegiStorm, which compiles congressional travel records, said Monday that lawmakers and their staffs took a combined 1,887 free trips last year for a total cost of almost $6 million.   Continue reading “Congress Took More Free Trips in 2013 Than in Any Year Since the Abramoff Reforms”

The number of exonerations in the United States of those wrongly convicted of a crime increased to a record 87 during 2013, and of that number, nearly one in five had initially pleaded guilty to charges filed against them, according to a report to be released on Tuesday as part of a project led by two university law schools.

Nearly half of the exonerations — 40 — were based on murder convictions, including that of a man wrongly convicted and subsequently sentenced to death in the fatal stabbing of a fellow inmate in a Missouri prison in 1983, according to the report by the National Registry of Exonerations. The registry is a joint program of the University of Michigan Law School and the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law.   Continue reading “Study Puts Exonerations at Record Level in U.S.”

The Missouri Senate’s General Laws Committee voted 5-1 last week in favor of a bill that purports to make it a crime for federal law enforcement agents to enforce the nation’s gun laws. Under the bill’s terms, these agents could be imprisoned for up to a year and be fined up to $1,000.

Much of this unconstitutional legislation mirrors a bill Gov. Jay Nixon (D) vetoed last year. In September, Missouri’s overwhelmingly Republican senate came just one vote shy of the votes necessary to override Nixon’s veto. Like the bill Nixon vetoed last year, the new legislation contains a provision to arm public school personnel. It also would lower the minimum age to receive a concealed weapons permit from 21 to 19.   Continue reading “Missouri Senate Committee Votes To Jail Federal Agents Who Enforce Gun Laws”

Cancer cases worldwide are predicted to increase by 70% over the next two decades, from 14m in 2012 to 25m new cases a year, according to the World Health Organisation.

The latest World Cancer Report says it is implausible to think we can treat our way out of the disease and that the focus must now be on preventing new cases. Even the richest countries will struggle to cope with the spiralling costs of treatment and care for patients, and the lower income countries, where numbers are expected to be highest, are ill-equipped for the burden to come.   Continue reading “Worldwide cancer cases expected to soar by 70% over next 20 years”

I know there is always security at these Super Bowl games … never used to be. It started after 9/11 when Bush ordered our military air defenses to stand down and sent away from the NYC area during 9/11. It continued after all these false flags where Blackwater-style mercenary contractors, or agency provocateurs, started placing patsies in various situations causing fear to be induced into the public like the Aurora shooting, the Sandy Hook shooting, the Boston Bombing etc.

The American people have been increasingly subjected to tighter and tighter security i.e. through TSA and DHS. Yet, we have NOT managed to catch even ONE terrorist. Now Constitutionalists are being called the new “terrorists”. Really?   Continue reading “For those who think we’ve always had security at Super Bowls”
