In Part I, I set forth the many dangers fraught within Louisiana, and the Gulf of Mexico.

By using the ingredients they use to fracture…

Daily Mail reports of a Stanford University team who theorize that people are more stupid because survival does not require intelligence. It is quite typical for the media to pick up a problem and and explain it away just like that. There is no word about the nerve poisons being injected, fed, applied topically and inhaled. They keep silent about fluorides, formaldehyde, BPA, thimerosal, MSG, Aspartame, Neotame, Round-Up, and numerous other poisons wreaking havoc on our endocrine…

Although many stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange suffered a significant drop in their value on the day after Barack Hussein Obama was reelected president of the United States, there was one industry that experienced a significant boost: small arms manufacturers. With the president threatening to further interfere with the rights of American citizens to keep and bear arms, those citizens are acting quickly to procure as many firearms as they can, and the companies that manufacture…

What would you do if you came across someone on the street that had not had anything to eat for several days? Would you give that person some food? Well, the next time you get that impulse you might want to check if it is still legal to feed the homeless where you live. Sadly, feeding the homeless has been banned in major cities all over America. Other cities that have not banned it outright have put so many requirements on those that want to feed the homeless (acquiring expensive permits,…

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)

Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless, within the 90-day period prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the…

Tuesday's election will be regarded as a pivotal one in US history. For 30 years the top 1 percent has manipulated the masses to vote against their own interests. It was able to do that because the feelings of the white middle and lower classes about social issues overwhelmed their economic considerations.
