A controversy has erupted in Texas after a judge ordered children removed from the home of their Christian homeschooling parents – over the homeschooling itself – even though the Texas Home School Coalition notes the state doesn’t allow that.

A 2005 memo from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services notes that,”Whether parents choose to homeschool their children or send their child to another private or public school is not relevant to the CPS investigation. When CPS staff investigates a family for abuse/neglect, the investigation must focus on the occurrence, or risk, of abuse/neglect and not on the child’s educational setting,” according to the Texas Home School Coalition.   Continue reading “Texas Family Battles Judge Over Homeschooling”

The following is a post by Compatriot Elijah Coleman and is for educational purposes only:

To justify their claims that our Confederate ancestors were like Nazi concentration-camp guards — and therefore that all Confederate symbols must now be obliterated, the civil-rights activists argue as follows: the Southern states rebelled against the Union, and started and fought the “Civil War” to protect the unspeakably-evil institution of slavery.    Continue reading “How And Why Abraham Lincoln Started The War Of Northern Aggression To Protect His Own Political Career”

Cleanup: In December Tepco, the company which owns the Fukushima plant, announced it had reached a state of 'cold shutdown' allowing a cleanup operation to beginDaily Mail – by CHRIS PLEASANCE

In March 2011 the world watched in horror as a powerful earthquake rocked Japan, before a deadly tsunami swept ashore, washing away any boats, cars, homes and people unfortunate enough to be in its path.

But while the initial reports of 19,000 dead shocked viewers around the globe, that news would soon be superseded by the terrors to come from the then-unknown town of Fukushima as its nuclear power plant was overcome by floodwater before going into meltdown.   Continue reading “The ghost towns of Fukushima: Three years after Japan’s nuclear disaster, residents are allowed home only once a month… and cannot stay overnight”

Obama is pushing hard for the 2014 immigration reform, and as we know, he is hell-bent and determined when it comes to something the majority does not want, particularly those who are more conservative in their beliefs.

I understand it seems unimportant to most of you, but when you see the underlying trojan horse for most average citizens woven into the immigration bill, you will be astonished!   Continue reading “Obama Bill, April 2014, To Launch Worldwide Mark of the Beast Mandatory Microchipping and DHS Fed Database”

California has mobilized hundreds of thousands of citizens to clean up debris along the beaches, including debris from the 2011 Japanese Tsunami. This catastrophic event resulted in radioactive debris being sent into the Pacific ocean from the severely damaged Fukushima Diiachi Nuclear Power Plant.  Volunteer debris collectors clean up any debris they find and gather critical information about the Japanese tsunami debris using a comprehensive data card. It is as if each volunteer is a guinea-pig in a massive experiment.   Continue reading “Thousands Flock to Clean-Up Radioactive Beaches”

Proving once again that if you want something done wrong, and preferably at massive cost overruns, then just leave it to the government, moments ago news broke that the main IT contractor behind the embarrassment that is healthcare.gov – CGI Federal – has been fired. Who could possibly foresee this? Well, anyone who had actually done some diligence on the clusterf#@k that is CGI Federal, and which as WaPo profiled some time ago, “is filled with executives from a company that mishandled at least 20 other government IT projects, including a flawed effort to automate retirement benefits for millions of federal workers, documents and interviews show.” Make that 21. “A year before CGI Group acquired AMS in 2004, AMS settled a lawsuit brought by the head of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, which had hired the company to upgrade the agency’s computer system. AMS had gone $60 million over budget and virtually all of the computer code it wrote turned out to be useless, according to a report by a U.S. Senate committee.” Sounds like the perfect people to hire in order to make a complete disaster out of the Obamacare portal – almost as if by design.   Continue reading “$292 Million Down The Drain: White House Fires Main Obamacare IT Contractor”
