Chip Roy Goes Off On Democrats And Republicans In Epic Rant On The House Floor Forbes Aug 18, 2023 In remarks on the House floor before the summer Congressional recess, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) spoke about securing the southern border and using the power of the purse to do it. Four months ago we passed in this body HR2. We passed legislation that we know, We don't believe, we know, We're taking significant strides in securing the border of the United States, reestablishing operational control, limiting the flow, limiting the power of cartels, empowering ICE, empowering Border Patrol. Reestablishing the...

Alliance of Democracies Summit: The Glass House Where the Power Elite Gather to Throw Stones WRITTEN BY: ALAN MACLEOD PUBLISHED ON: MAY 15, 2021 The lineup of presidents, generals and CEOs makes it clear that what was stated is effectively the collective view of the world’s elite and a window into their thinking and the debates they are having. What they decide will affect all of us, whether we realize it or not. COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — The United States is the nation that most threatens democracy worldwide, far more than Russia or even China. That is the headline finding from...

The Highwire with Del Bigtree ALL ROADS LEAD TO WUHAN Medical reporter Sanja Gupta, broke with his network, CNN, this week to side with former CDC head, Robert Redfield, on his belief that SARS-CoV-2 was, in fact, a man-made virus that escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. Del breaks down the troubling conflict of interest involved in the WHO’s original #Covid19 investigation in Wuhan and how the US government was actually funding the development of this potential bioweapon in China.

We know that 3D printing will disrupt manufacturing and the international supply chain, but nobody seems to know how yet. Now a paper from the Business School at Lingman Normal University in Zhanjiang has tried to separate the wood from the trees. The general consensus is that 3D printing is going to have a profound effect. The concept of mass producing goods half way around the world and then shipping them is inherently inefficient. UPS clearly agrees, as it is investing heavily in 3D printing centers throughout the US that can produce goods on demand for local delivery. So even...

Can a socialist president live in a mansion like White House? Sure, it’s just public housing, Bernie Sanders says

A courthouse in Chatsworth was evacuated and woman’s backpack blown up by a bomb robot after she began yelling about “Islamic State” at a security checkpoint Wednesday, authorities said. The woman entered the Los Angeles County Superior Court branch at 9425 Penfield Ave. and became upset when she was stopped by security, Sheriff’s Department Deputy Jeff Gordon said. She was detained and began shouting about “Islamic State” — in an apparent reference to the terrorist group that has claimed responsibility for the recent deadly Paris attacks — and talking about something in her backpack, Gordon said. …The backpack was exploded...

The slender body of a 14-year-old boy, not yet stiff with death, is dragged from the back of a coroner’s van onto a metal gurney, still wet with the fluids of its last passenger. Medics shuffle the other body carts, left then right then left again, lifting and rolling the plastic-wrapped corpses from one gurney to another to make room for the next body. It is early in the afternoon at the Institute of Legal Medicine in El Salvador’s volatile capital city, on what will become one of the most violent days of the most violent year in the most...

At its most basic level, a 3-D printer is like an automated hot-glue gun programmed to spit out solid objects. The machines extrude layers of plastic into virtually any three-dimensional shape. Print whimsical garden statuary. Reproduce an anatomically correct heart with moving parts for your son's science project (actually, he could do that himself). Create a signature bookend, cookie cutter, necklace — anything.

“The Social Security Administration (SSA) confirms that it is purchasing 174 thousand rounds of hollow point bullets to be delivered to 41 locations in major cities across the U.S. No one has yet said what the purpose of these purchases is, though we are led to believe that they will be used only in an emergency to counteract and control civil unrest. Those against whom the hollow point bullets are to be used — those causing the civil unrest — must be American citizens; since the SSA has never been used overseas to help foreign countries maintain control of their...

The assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi last month appears to have been an opportunistic attack rather than a long-planned operation, and intelligence agencies have found no evidence that it was ordered by Al Qaeda, according to U.S. officials and witnesses interviewed in Libya.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — After working months with U.S. intelligence, the Mexican navy said it had nabbed a big prize in a known Guadalajara narco-haven: the son of Mexico's top fugitive drug lord. snip Both countries are conducting an intense manhunt for Guzman. Mexican authorities said they narrowly missed him in February as he was vacationing in the Baja resort of Los Cabos under the nose of heavy security during an international meeting of foreign ministers, including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

PALMDALE - Authorities say seven black teens have been arrested in an attack on a 15-year-old Hispanic boy in Palmdale that is being investigated as a hate crime.

But Zuckerman — according to legal records — is also a losing gambler and failed day-trader who sold his pediatric practice and filed bankruptcy a year ago. That's music to the ears of Cain acolytes, like the crowd posting on the message board at the website Free Republic:

On September 17th, activists across the United States are planning on meeting on Wall Street and a couple of other locations across the United States to protest against capitalism. On the surface, the event seems like a grass-roots gathering of liberal protesters from across the United States. On the US Day of Rage web site, organizers list partners such as "European Revolution" and "Take the Square" which don't seem to have billionaire backers behind them. If you do a little digging, you will find that the Tides Foundation is an indirect supporter of this event.

The leadership of the Los Angeles County Republican Party faces a challenge in court today as a group of self-proclaimed Tea Party activists ask a judge to install them on the county committee, effectively giving them control of the organization.

For the environmental movement, Jones' resignation is a setback. One can only hope that his unwelcome celebrity of the past week will have the positive side effect of galvanizing support for his work; that it will call attention to urban poverty, pollution and his ideal of a green economy. To the extent Jones' agenda succeeds, it will benefit all of us. Even the polar bears.

Billing it as the largest state-sponsored green jobs training program in the nation, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Monday announced a $75 million program to train 20,000 workers for environmental jobs. "We will need more workers to install the solar panels and insulate the homes and do all those things that we will need," Schwarzenegger said at an announcement at Los Angeles Trade Technical College. "We have two major problems in this state," he said. "We have high unemployment. That is crisis No. 1. Crisis No. 2 is the environment. This Clean Energy Workforce Training Program attacks both those problems."
