Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, were indicted Tuesday on federal corruption charges.

The McDonnells were charged with 14 counts, including conspiracy, wire fraud and other charges.

McDonnell left office earlier this month after completing his term in office. Virginia’s Constitution limits governors to a single four-year term.   Continue reading “Ex-Virginia Gov. McDonnell, Wife Charged With Corruption”

Doing the right thing, even if it means healing people with cancer, isn’t always a good thing. In fact, it just may land you some serious jail time and get you listed on Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization), which warns against and watches over big-time war criminals, terrorists or the likes of mass murderers.

Just ask Greg Caton, a U.S. citizen and the Founder of Alpha Omega Labs who was legally selling plant-based topical herbs in Ecuador. One minute Caton was helping sick people, selflessly dedicating his time to heal others. Then, in 1999, he was approached at gunpoint in his own driveway by U.S officials, flown back to the U.S and put in federal prison for two years.   Continue reading “Man sells herbs proven to cure cancer, U.S. government jails him, lists him on Interpol”

The spying on Americans by the National Security Agency and the Internal Revenue Service’s attacks on conservative groups are “like a walk in the park” compared to government plans to track school children, says a prominent national education researcher, analyst and Johns Hopkins-trained pediatrician.

Dr. Karen Effrem, president of the national watchdog group, Education Liberty Watch, is sounding an alarm about Common Core, the federal education standards that almost all states are adopting by accepting federal “Race to the Top” funding.   Continue reading “NSA ops ‘walk in park’ next to plans to track kids”

Wait just a minute. Weren’t we lead to believe that this kid couldn’t tie his own shoes and was mentally on another planet. NOW we are to believe that he was a computer genius. From these writings he sounds more like some kind of philosopher not the whack job we were lead to believe. It would also appear that he was the Flash as he went in shot people then Flashed out to his car putting the Bushmaster in the car, Flashed back in and laid down and shot himself with two maybe three or was it four 9mm handguns.   Continue reading “The Day the FBI Knocked on Adam Lanza’s Door”

Smitha Rao and JC Chiao, two researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington, have designed a unique concept to charge mobile electronic devices that use tiny micro-windmills attached to the surface of the device.

The design was initially created when trying to discover new methods of harnessing wind energy in regions where large wind turbines cannot be deployed. By scaling down the size of the turbines Rao and Chiao hoped that they could create more uses for, and grant more people access to wind energy.   Continue reading “Using Windmills Smaller than a Grain of Rice to Charge Portable Devices”

Hillsdale professor Terrence Moore, author of  “Story Killers: A Common Sense Case Against Common Core,”  exposed some of the more distressing aspects of the controversial Common Core education standards program, saying that all teachers must tell young students that all right-wing groups are fascist.

Moore highlights how it is not just the reading lists and course materials — which have already attracted a large amount of criticism — that need to be examined by parents. It’s also the teaching notes and standard curriculum; the notes and standards come as part of a comprehensive package. Moore noted through his research that a distinctly political slant is introduced, one which dictates not only what children are taught, but also how they should be taught.   Continue reading “Teachers ‘instructed’ to teach ‘all right wing extremist groups’ are fascist”

End of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder

Thomas Jefferson was radically anti-tax, pro-gun and anti-central bank.  He loved precious metals, he openly acknowledged a “Creator” and he wanted to add an amendment to the Constitution which would ban the federal government from going into debt.  If he was around today, he would be considered a “nutjob”, an “extremist”, a “fascist” and even a “potential terrorist“.  But of course Jefferson was none of those things.  Rather, Jefferson was a great thinker, the primary author of the Declaration of Independence and our third President.  Below, I have shared a list of 13 famous Jefferson quotes (13 for the 13 colonies that originally founded America) that show just how far America has fallen away from our founding principles.  I think that most of you will be very shocked when you read this list…   Continue reading “If He Was Around Today, Thomas Jefferson Would Be Considered A Tea Party Extremist”
