A bill attempting to authorize the use of America’s full military force against Iran is being introduced to Congress on Thursday by Rep. Franks (R-AZ).
WEB Notes:Issues like this separate the real Christians from the pretenders. So which are you? Will you stand with your Father against those who break His laws and want you to be an accomplice to it? Or will you try to rationalize murder in your mind so your little world isn’t upset? Christ died on the Cross for you, how big of a sacrifice are you willing to make for Him?
Bitter Government Dismantles Drinking Fountains On Federal Land
How Low can they go?
Recent visitors to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near D.C. and the lengthy Great Allegheny Passageway noticed the handles missing from these water sources. Obviously, someone fairly high on the federal food chain gave the order to vandalize the government’s own property. The only logical reason to do so is a desire, as has been previously alleged, to make this shutdown much worse than it needs to be. Continue reading “No Water For You! Gov`t Orders Drinking Fountains Disabled On Federal Land. -Remove Handles”
Are Americans dumb? This is a question that has been debated by philosophers, begrudging foreigners and late night TV talk show hosts for decades. Anyone who has ever watched the Tonight Show’s “Jaywalking” segment in which host Jay Leno stops random passersby and asks them rudimentary questions like “What is Julius Caesar famous for?” (Answer: “Um, is it the salad?”) might already have made their minds up on this issue. But for those of you who prefer to reserve judgement until definitive proof is on hand, then I’m afraid I have some depressing news. America does indeed have a problem in the smarts department and it appears to be getting worse, not better. Continue reading “Are Americans Dumb? No, It’s The Inequality, Stupid”
The President Barack Obama administration has “chilled the flow of information on issues of great public interest,” according to a Thursday report that amounts to an indictment of the president’s campaign pledge of a more open government.

Nixon administration — to silence government officials and the media at large. Continue reading “Obama’s Efforts to Control Media Are ‘Most Aggressive’ Since Nixon, Report Says”
Nearly two dozen of the commentators who appeared on major media outlets to discuss a possible US military strike on Syria had relationships with contractors and other organizations with a vested interest in the conflict, according to a new report.
The Public Accountability Initiative, a non-profit research group dedicated to “investigating power and corruption at the heights of business and government,” determined that 22 of the pundits who spoke to the media during the public debate over whether the US should bomb Syria appeared to have conflicts of interest. Seven think tanks with murky affiliations were also involved in the debate. Continue reading “US media failed to cite pundits’ ties to defense industry in Syria strike debate”
Congress has suffered from increasingly lower approval ratings during the now eight-day long government shutdown, and on Tuesday we got some new comparisons to help put that into perspective. As new poll finds that Congress is less popular than hemorrhoids, potholes, and even dog poop.
(Reuters) – A Canadian environmentalist pleaded guilty on Thursday to setting a string of fires across the U.S. West that torched a ski resort and other buildings in what the Justice Department has called the “largest eco-terrorism case” in U.S. history.
That’s the message 60 percent of Americans are sending to Washington in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, saying if they had the chance to vote to defeat and replace every single member of Congress, including their own representative, they would. Just 35 percent say they would not. Continue reading “NBC/WSJ poll: 60 percent say fire every member of Congress”
