CHICAGO (AP) — Thousands of pages of documents showing how the Archdiocese of Chicago handled the sexual abuse of children by priests will be made public Tuesday, providing the broadest look yet into the details of what the church knew and did — or didn’t do — about the scandal.

The archdiocese, one of the largest and most influential in the U.S., handed over last week more than 6,000 pages of documents to victims’ attorneys, who said they will show the archdiocese concealed abuse for decades, including moving priests to new parishes where they molested again.   Continue reading “Sex abuse files on 30 Chicago priests going public”

An explosion that brought down part of an animal feed processing plant in Omaha on Monday morning killed 2 people and seriously injured 10 others, authorities said.

The search for bodies in the crippled International Nutrition plant progressed slowly Monday and had to be suspended in the evening. Omaha Police Lt. Darci Tierney said all 38 of the workers who were in the building at the time had been accounted for, so the death toll wasn’t expected to grow.   Continue reading “2 deaths confirmed in Omaha plant explosion”

Since 2010, our waters have been contaminated by chemicals that seem to be at first glance, “accidents”. But what if they were not accidents but planned to make it appear that way? What are the chances of all of these chemical accidents happening one after the other for the past 4 years but before that, there were never any problems. One can only assume that since there is no accountability in our government, the corporate elite can have as many “accidents” as they so desire without impunity.

In 2010, a BP oil rig blew up and spilled an enormous amount of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Weeks later, the beaches all along the Gulf coast were filled with tar and dead fish and birds. After stopping the spill, BP used a chemical to dissolve the oil from the water supply. Continue reading “Are the Corporate Elite Secretly Attempting to Contaminate our Rivers and Water supply?”

The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.

“What do you think you’re doing?” asks the wife.

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth’s Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country.

In its original form it read:

“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”   Continue reading “The Pledge of Allegiance”

Obamacare is notoriously difficult to enroll in, with stories of people unsuccessfully trying dozens of times to purchase insurance coverage through the exchanges and call center flooding the news. Even Obama himself couldn’t enroll via Healthcare.gov.

Now stories of problems un-enrolling in Obamacare plans are starting to surface.   Continue reading “What’s Harder Than Enrolling in Obamacare? Un-Enrolling in Obamacare”

ObamaCare is now officially a punishment. Unofficially it was a punishment for the middle class, the self-employed and small businesses. But now the ObamaCare punishment is being extended to a voting base that is reliably 3/4 Democrat.   Continue reading “ObamaCare Is So Awful Prisons are Enrolling Murderers In It”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Certain states are considering legislation that would criminalize helping the National Security Agency, but ironically, none other than the U.S. Constitution might put a stop to that.

Two days before President Obama was scheduled to announce reforms to NSA’s collection activities, lawmakers in Washington state last week joined the growing chorus of state legislators across the country looking to rein in the agency’s powers with whatever legal tools were at their disposal.   Continue reading “U.S. Constitution could keep state officials from going to jail for helping NSA”

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The Democratic mayor of a town severely flooded by Superstorm Sandy said Sunday that she was told an ultimatum tying recovery funds to her support for a prime real estate project came directly from Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a claim a Christie spokesman called “categorically false.”

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer said she met with federal prosecutors in Newark for several hours Sunday at their request and turned over a journal and other documents.   Continue reading “New Jersey Mayor Dawn Zimmer Meets With Federal Investigators Over Claim Against Chris Christie”

Don’t mistake that sad face as an American Patriot – that is the face of a man who has turned against his Country. No real tears folks – he’s laughing all the way to the back while we’re trying to hold down two part jobs and put food on our tables.

Over 100 million American workers are on John Boenher’s hit list – that seems to be a very rash statement. John Boehner, Cantor Ryan and Goodlatte have placed the amnesty issue on the front burner – that’s reality.    Continue reading “100 Million Americans on J. Boehner’s Hit List”

It’s not a stretch to suggest that Americans are over medicated. In 2011 doctors across the nation wrote an astounding four billion medical prescriptions, amounting to an average of 13 prescriptions for every  man, woman and child in the United States.

In the next few weeks the American Psychiatric Associations is releasing their updated fifth version their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5); the so-called ‘bible’ of psychiatric diagnoses. The new manual promises to take mental illness and the use of prescription drugs to a whole new level.   Continue reading “YOU ARE CRAZY: New Psychiatric Guidelines Target Hoarding, Child Temper Tantrums, and a Host of Other “Illnesses””

Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. As a long and violent abuse of power, is generally the Means of calling the right of it in question (and in Matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the Sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry) and as the King of England hath undertaken in his OWN RIGHT, to support the Parliament in what he calls THEIRS, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpation of either.

Catapults. “Jalapeños”. Dune buggies. $1 million subs. Sophisticated drug tunnels. Firetruck-sized industrial pipeline drills. These are just a few of the ingenious ways that Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, arguably the world’s largest, most powerful and technologically advanced organized crime syndicate, has tried to perfect the fine art of smuggling drugs into America. And to think, the US’s premier drug enforcement arm gave the Sinaloa a pass to do so largely unhindered during the bloodiest stretch of Mexico’s drug war.    Continue reading “Why the DEA Let the World’s Tech-Savviest Drug Cartel Do As It Pleased for 12 Years”
