Trump: Banning Muslim immigration is 'just a suggestion' May 11th 2016 10:47PM Remember when Donald Trump called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our representatives can figure out what the hell is going on" during a campaign event? Well, that proclamation was apparently just a suggestion. In a Fox News Radio interview, Trump slightly backed away from a policy he's stood by for months: A blanket ban on Muslim immigration. Trump told Brian Kilmeade: "It's a temporary ban. It hasn't been called for yet. Nobody's done it. This is just a suggestion until we find out what's going on." And later on ...
White House’s Susan Rice: U.S. national security agencies are too white

In a White House often accused of being stacked with loyalists, President Obama’s national security adviser said Wednesday there are too many white people in key government posts, endangering national security because they think alike. Speaking at Florida International University’s commencement, Susan E. Rice, who is black, said a diversified government workforce is more likely to yield “better outcomes” than a predominantly white one. Referring to criticism that the U.S. national security workforce is “white, male and Yale,” Ms. Rice told the graduates, “In the halls of power, in the faces of our national security leaders, America is still not fully ...

Every summer, Hollywood seems to release another batch of disaster and hero films full of action and end of the world scenarios. But this film hits much closer to home. It’s the scenario that could happen here, but Hollywood won’t dare to get behind. Nevertheless, it is coming to (select) theaters. Director Mike Norris, son of Chuck Norris, is bringing a drama to screen ripped from the headlines of America’s real-life looming catastrophes. In AmeriGEDDON, an EMP attack brings down the grid and initiates the collapse scenario that preppers are all too familiar with: civil unrest and chaos as a result of the loss of food and services, followed by a heavy-handed attempt to ...

Ask any American about what the US government spends our money on, and I guarantee you they will all think of at least one program or department that should be eliminated. Maybe they don’t think it’s important, or they object to it on moral grounds, or they just think that the private sector could do the same job more efficiently. But sometimes, the government pays for services that no one in their right mind would want, regardless of political affiliation or beliefs. More than anything else, this especially applies to many of the scientific research grants that our government hands out like candy. According to a recent report posted by Senator Jeff Flake, the government is ...

It's time to clear up misconceptions, deceptions and distortions by the #NeverTrump crowd. Of course Trump is a conservative. Actually on the most important issues of the day, he's the most conservative GOP Presidential candidate since Reagan. Keep reading- I'll prove it to you. I’m one of you. I’m a true-blue lifelong conservative patriot. I’ve been a “Cruz conservative” my whole life. Except in my day it was called “Reagan conservative.” My conservative credentials cannot be challenged.

Fort Myers, FL — An infuriating video uploaded to YouTube this week highlights the ridiculous nature of arbitrary and predatory policing that does nothing to keep society safe, and, in fact, is designed solely to extract revenue from a victim.In the video, the victim, who can also be referred to as the host, is a local police accountability activist, Joshua McKnight. McKnight was doing nothing wrong and had harmed no one when two Fort Myers cops targetted him for revenue extraction. Officers Vasquez and Zarillo bravely protected society from the likes of a hardened criminal mastermind who’d dare step into the street for a brief second to walk around debris that was ...
CBS News Caught Blatantly Distorting Cannabis Study, Says Legal Pot Doubles Fatal Car Crashes [Full Thread]

In what could only be described as a desperate smear campaign evidencing the last vestiges of propaganda from the failed war on drugs, corporate media warped the findings of a study about cannabis-related car crashes to the point of being unrecognizable.On Tuesday, AAA’s safety foundation released a report concerning cannabis impairment and driving, which proved blood testing drivers for THC holds no scientific validity and should be abandoned. But a second part of the report found that — strictly statistically speaking — car crashes involving drivers who had consumed cannabis were on the rise.In fact, the number of people involved in fatal crashes who tested positive for ...

A judge will hear a case this month to determine if a Florida couple can grow vegetables in their own yard. Hermine Ricketts and Tom Carroll are the couple who had to rip out a garden they had grown for 17 years because of a zoning ordinance, as Off The Grid News previously reported. On May 26 a Florida state judge will hear arguments and begin determining if the Village of Miami Shores violated the couple’s rights in 2013 by changing zoning ordinances to ban front-yard vegetable gardens. Shortly after the ban, code enforcement officers gave the couple a choice of pulling their vegetables or paying a $50-a-day fine.Even though neighbors and passersby would often complement ...

Despite repeated claims from the Hillary Clinton camp her use of a private email account and server during her tenure as secretary of state were really ‘no big deal,’ the investigation has not only deepened into a criminal one, but it has now set its sights on the notorious Clinton Foundation, as well. And that’s not all.Four years’ worth of State Department emails from Clinton’s top IT staffer, Bryan Pagliano, have vanished.“The State Department has searched for Mr. Pagliano’s email pft file and has not located one that covers the time period of Secretary Clinton’s tenure,” said State’s Elizabeth Trudeau, reported Investor’s Business ...

Fatal accidents involving stoned drivers soared in Washington since pot was legalized [Full Thread]

Stoned driving can be as serious a problem as drunk driving. Fatal accidents involving stoned drivers have soared in the state of Washington since marijuana was legalized there, according to a study from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. But it's difficult to determine whether a high-on-pot driver is too impaired to drive, according to a separate study from the same group. Fatal crashes involving drivers who recently used marijuana more than doubled in 2014. Pot was involved in 17% of fatal crashes in Washington in 2014, up from 8% in 2013 -- the year before recreational marijuana was allowed there. "The significant increase in fatal crashes involving marijuana is ...
Budweiser Is Renaming Its Beer “America,” but There’s Just One Huge Problem

Budweiser has announced they will rename their beer “America” for the summer months of 2016. While it appears to be ultimately nothing more than an attempt to sell more beverages, the iconic brewer’s new advertising ploy does genuinely feel like it has tapped into a cultural vein, with the 2016 election in full swing — and with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan resonating with millions. However, the announcement comes along with some cruel irony that may have gone unnoticed by many: Budweiser’s “America” beer genuinely does represent what modern America has come to stand for, but not in the way you ...

Donald Trump winning over Democrats in blue Northeast states Republican voters who backed billionaire’s primary opponents falling in line By S.A. Miller The Washington Times Monday, May 9, 2016 YORK, Penn.— Republicans in Washington may be wringing their hands over Donald Trump, but rank-and-file voters are suffering no such qualms, and instead are eagerly embracing the GOP’s presumptive nominee. Voters who backed Mr. Trump’s opponents in the primary recently told The Washington Times they’re ready to get behind the billionaire businessman. And less than a week after sewing up the nomination, he also appears to be winning some of the independents and ...

A shadow Cabinet for Donald Trump Early selection of potential policymakers could deflate his opposition By Cal Thomas Washington Times Monday, May 9, 2016 ANALYSIS/OPINION: Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has broken just about every political rule and precedent this election cycle, so what difference would it make if he broke one more? If Mr. Trump wants to gain credibility with voters who are either wary of or vehemently opposed to him becoming president, he should borrow from the British system and name a shadow Cabinet. For those unfamiliar with the term, a British shadow Cabinet is made up of a group of senior people from the opposition party who ...

Obama White House showed ‘bad faith’ in global-warming case, judge rules Third rebuke of administration’s transparency this year By Stephen Dinan The Washington Times Monday, May 9, 2016 The White House showed “bad faith” in how it handled an open records request for global warming data, a federal court ruled Monday, issuing yet another stinging rebuke to the administration for showing a lack of transparency. For President Obama, who vowed to run the most transparent government in U.S. history, Judge Amit P. Mehta’s ruling granting legal discovery in an open records case — the third time this year a judge has ordered discovery — is an ...

Forty-eight hours after Donald Trump wrapped up the Republican nomination with a smashing victory in the Indiana primary, House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he could not yet support Trump. In millennial teen-talk, Ryan told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “I’m just not ready to do that at this point. I’m not there right now.” “[T]he bulk of the burden of unifying the party” falls on Trump, added Ryan. Trump must unify “all wings of the Republican Party, and the conservative movement.” Trump must run a campaign that we can “be proud to support and proud to be a part of.” Then, maybe, our Hamlet of the House can be persuaded to support the ...

I don't know if Donald Trump is of Christ or not, but of this I am sure, he is not an ordinary man. His remarkable climb to the top has me amazed, his life is one of a super hero, his intellect and willingness to fight is impressive to any who take a moment to look. But this 54 minute video, which needs to be watched once in it's entirety and then again with your finger on the pause button, your bible open and pen and paper in hand to make notes. And then if you would PM me with your thoughts I would appreciate it. Poster Comment:

After the San Bernardino terrorist attack, Ryan echoed President Obama in condemning what was described as Donald Trump’s “religious test.” However, a Breitbart News investigation now ...

Loretta Lynch Just Became the World’s Most Powerful Advocate for Trans Rights By Mark Joseph Stern Slate May 9 2016 5:44 PM On paper, the current conflict between the U.S. Department of Justice and North Carolina can seem dry, academic even. North Carolina passed a law forbidding trans people from using certain bathrooms that align with their gender identity. The Department of Justice notified the state that its measure violates several federal civil rights laws; North Carolina threw a tantrum, filing a lawsuit against the agency. Then, on Monday, the DOJ struck back, filing a suit against North Carolina for infringing on trans residents’ federal civil rights. The DOJ’s ...
