WASHINGTON (AP) — Top congressional negotiators Monday night released a bipartisan $1.1 trillion spending bill that would pay for the operations of government through October and finally put to rest the bitter budget battles of last year.

The massive measure fleshes out the details of the budget deal that Congress passed last month. That pact gave relatively modest, but much-sought relief to the Pentagon and domestic agencies after deep budget cuts last year.   Continue reading “Huge Spending Bill Would Bury Budget Battles”

This picture captures the incredible moment a photographer lies in the grass beside a cheetah at an African game reserve.

The predator is the picture of spotty elegance as she poses with the photographer and peers down the camera.

The beautiful beast has her ears pricked ready to stalk some prey – but luckily seems to have no appetite for the man beside her.   Continue reading “Amazing moment a cheetah lies down next to a photographer and even lets him stroke her head”

An investigation by El Universal found that between the years 2000 and 2012, the U.S. government had an arrangement with Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed the organization to smuggle billions of dollars of drugs while Sinaloa provided information on rival cartels.

Sinaloa, led by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, supplies 80% of the drugs entering the Chicago area and has a presence in cities across the U.S.   Continue reading “CONFIRMED: The DEA Struck A Deal With Mexico’s Most Notorious Drug Cartel”

In the 3rd century AD, Emperor Caracalla famously remarked of Rome’s tax policy:

“For as long as we have this,” pointing to his sword, “we shall not run out of money.” (Of course, Rome did run out of money. )

At the time, Roman taxation was so extractive that it drove people into poverty and desperation. Yet the government continued to forcibly plunder wealth at the point of a sword.   Continue reading “Check out the IRS’s stunning admission of its own mafia tactics”

Money well-spent, we are sure some would suggest; but when the National Institute of Health spends $224,863 to test 95 “custom-fitted” condoms so every hard-working American man can choose the one that fits ‘just right’, we suggest the government is stretching the tax dollar a little too far. As NY Post reports, the study was prompted by concern that despite the wide-scale promotion of latex condoms to help prevent the spread of HIV, their use remains “disappointingly low,” because, the government says, one-third to one-half of men complain of poor-fitting prophylactics and are less likely to use them… apparently. Of course, we assume, when questioned, all said the condom was ‘too small’.   Continue reading “Government Spent $224,863 On “Custom-Fit” Condoms”

Something that always puzzled me is how we, as Americans, allow the Federal Government to “flip the script” when it comes to appropriate rules of conduct. The idea is that the officials (public servants) who we elect are supposed to be working for us, their constituents. Put another way, they are our employees. We, the people, are the boss. Or, at least we are supposed to be.   Continue reading “Unelected Bureaucrats: Conduit for America’s Destruction”

Operation Cable Splicer and Garden Plot are the two sub programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 program is initiated for its proper purpose. Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state and thus will head up all operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation.   Continue reading “FEMA Concentration Camps: Locations and Executive Orders”

Google has spent the last decade building databases on everything, including each and every computer-using American citizen. Now it intends to join forces with the United States Military to put all that info to good use.
