The Obama Doctrine of preemptive “humanitarian” war is once again moving into high gear, this time in Syria.

Without providing any concrete evidence, U.S. officials have concluded that Syria has used chemical weapons against rebels. Apparently, this is now the standard (or ‘Red Line’) for which the U.S. goes to war.

The SNAP challenge means that Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and 25 participating members must try to live off of under $4.50 per day for food and drink.   Continue reading “26 Members of Congress to Live Off Food Stamp Budget to Protest Cuts”

The State of the Union is not well, as a matter of fact it is extremely ill. Let us analyze this fact. The population of the United States currently stands at about 315,000,000 souls.
