The occurrences came to the attention of police when an owner asked about posting flyers to encourage the public to report suspicious activity to authorities. ...

But Trump also said that he would terminate NAFTA “if we’re unable to make a deal, but hopefully we won’t have to do that.” Trump’s remarks come as debate swirls around his presidential campaign promise to end the North America Free ...

The only way to stop US aggression is to get rid of dollar addiction, a Kremlin advisor said on Friday.

MACON, Ga.

Operating in ways he hopes will avoid felony charges of drug trafficking, state Rep. Allen Peake is taking matters into his own hands. He's shepherding cannabis oil to hundreds of sick people who are now allowed by the state to possess marijuana, but have no legal way of obtaining it. "We're going to do whatever it takes to be able to help get product to these families, these citizens who have debilitating illnesses," Peake said. He spoke ...

An Ohio couple, Christian and Katie Maple, lost custody of one of their children after they disagreed with the school’s mental health assessment of their child. Camden Maple, a seven-year-old boy, has five siblings and enjoys Star Wars, Pokémon, football, video games, and Legos. He loves to write stories and draws comic books. While this sounds like an ordinary, creative, imaginative American little boy who can, according to his mom, be “rambunctious” at times, his school said that he needed mental health help. While the school diagnosed him with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), his parents, who know him better than anyone else, believe that his ...

Donald Trump’s first one hundred days in office have been clouded by an unprecedented obfuscation campaign by Democrats, some Republicans, the establishment news media and a coalition of outside agitators attempting to disrupt the billionaire’s presidential agenda, smear top administration officials, sow seeds of chaos, and delegitimize his already historic presidency. Pre-Inauguration A review of events is instructive. Even before Trump took office, the attempts to delegitimize the billionaire kicked into high gear when Hillary Clinton’s campaign joined the improbable recount efforts led by Green Party candidate Jill Stein. When those efforts failed miserably, the Clinton ...

Ronald Bernard is a Dutch entrepreneur whose drive and business contacts quickly catapulted him into the world of the financial elite. However, the deeper into this world Bernard went, the more horrifying it became. In a jaw-dropping interview with De Vrije Media, Bernard details this dark and depraved elite society which conducted human sacrifice and celebrated destruction. To not sound like crazed tinfoil ranting kooks, we will admit that the things Bernard mentions in the interview below sound utterly insane and evil. In an effort to vet his credibility, however, the Free Thought Project did some background research on him, and it checks out. He is who he says he is. Pascal ...

(San Francisco) – Project Veritas has just released a new hidden-camera video revealing a teachers union official in California admitting that he hit a child before, and got away with it.

Not that I’ve ever done that, okay once, maybe twice.” The video shows two encounters between Mankini and Project Veritas journalists. The first encounter was recorded in November of 2015 by a journalist posed as the friend of a distressed teacher who felt guilty because he had hit a ...
Is Slower “Safer”?

The mantra is that Slow is Safe. But Slow is often also oblivious – and sloppy. Which tends to be dangerous, the opposite of safe. The priests – and priestesses, more often – of The Safety Cult have not noticed. The other day, I rolled up behind a car descending a mountain pass. The speed limit is 55 – the car was moping along at about 38 MPH. No, moping isn’t exactly the right word. It was randomly sashaying left then right, onto the shoulder – then across the double yellow. But well below the The Speed Limit. By Clover Standards, the person behind the wheel was thus, ipso facto, a Safe Driver. Exceeding The Speed Limit is a kind of ...

"It’s sickening when a radical thuggish institution like Berkeley can so easily snuff out the cherished American right to free speech," tweeted Coulter on Wednesday. ...
