An Iowa man was arrested Thursday and was charged with desecrating the U.S. flag after hanging it upside down beneath a Chinese flag in protest at his home. The Fort Dodge Messenger reported that Homer Martz, an Army veteran, of Somers, put up the flag to protest an oil pipeline being built without his consent next to a well that supplies water to his home. Martz said he was arrested by Calhoun County sheriffs at around 11 a.m. "They said, 'You can't do this. We have a statute.' I said I'm sorry but you shouldn't have took them down," Martz told The Messenger. "So I walked back out and put them back up, and they arrested me." Calhoun ...
The Real Existential Threats of 2016

On Sept. 30, the end of fiscal year 2016, the national debt is projected to reach $19.3 trillion. With spending on the four biggest budget items — Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, defense — rising, and GDP growing at 1 percent, future deficits will exceed this year’s projected $600 billion. National bankruptcy, then, is among the existential threats to the republic, the prospect that we will find ourselves in the not-too-distant future in the same boat with Greece, Puerto Rico and Illinois. Yet, we drift toward the falls, with the issue not debated. Ernest Hemingway reminded us of how nations escape quagmires of debt: “The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is ...
'Zombie knife' seller urges shoppers to buy before ban takes effect

A company selling “zombie-knives” has been criticised as irresponsible after it urged customers to buy the weapons “while you can” before a UK-wide ban comes into force later this week. Hunters Knives and Swords advertised a range of the horror film-inspired blades including swords, machetes and a £39.99 “crossbow pistol”. In a message posted on its website on Monday, the company said: “Order now – after 16th August 2016 you will no longer be able to purchase zombie knives in the UK, so grab them while you can!” New legislation comes into force on Thursday meaning that anyone caught in possession of a “zombie knife” will face up ...

America: You Will Go Insane Because Of What Your Eyes Will See By Michael Snyder, on August 15th, 2016 A cloud of madness is descending on America, and most of us are completely unprepared for the chaos that will be unleashed during the months ahead. This morning, I was reading through Deuteronomy when I came to a phrase that really resonated with me. In the Modern English Version, this is what Deuteronomy 28:34 says: “You will go insane because of what your eyes will see”. As I read that, it struck me that this is precisely what America is heading for. There are going to be people that have vast quantities of food and supplies stored up that are still going to blow their brains ...

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says the Department of Justice (DOJ) set a new standard for its investigations with its probe of Hillary Clinton. “Our D.C. lawyers are delivering a letter tomorrow to Attorney General Loretta Lynch asking her to explain why it is that the now six-year-long national security and criminal investigation being run against WikiLeaks, the reason I have political asylum, has not been closed,” he said on CNN’s “The Lead” on Monday. “Because the DOJ, whose actions seem to be setting a new standard by closing the Hillary Clinton case,” Assange added.

A father and his young daughter claim they were terrorized by a highway patrolman in Arizona while they were en route to the Grand Canyon on Friday. Ken Walton, who is from California, described the horrifying ordeal in a lengthy Facebook post where he and his 7-year-old daughter were held at gunpoint after being pulled over by the out-of-control highway patrolman.“Tonight, I was arrested at gunpoint by an Arizona highway patrol officer who threatened to shot me in the back (twice) in front of my 7-year-old daughter.

Who Was Ty Cobb? The History We Know That’s Wrong

The following is adapted from a speech delivered at Hillsdale College on March 7, 2016, during a program on “Sports and Character” sponsored by the College’s Center for Constructive Alternatives. Ty Cobb was one of the greatest baseball players of all time and king of the so-called Deadball Era. He played in the major leagues—mostly for the Detroit Tigers but a bit for the Philadelphia Athletics—from 1905 to 1928, and was the first player ever voted into the Hall of Fame. His lifetime batting average of .366 is amazing, and has never been equaled. But for all that, most Americans think of him first as an awful person—a racist and a low-down cheat who thought ...

Even if you have to wait over 50 years, eventually the truth will out… Suspicions that the CIA covered up JFK‘s murder have finally been confirmed, according to an explosive Politico report out this week. Fifty-two years after the President’s death, declassified documents show that the CIA were in communication with alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald before JFK’s murder in 1963, and they were monitoring his mail since 1959. Not only that but John McCone, who was Chief of the CIA at the time, allegedly hid evidence from the Warren commission, set up by Lyndon Johnson to investigate JFK’s assassination.

Dead Gorilla Harambe Earns 5% in Poll Against Trump and Clinton

It seems that quite a few people would prefer a dead gorilla as president rather than either of the two main candidates. According to Josh Guckert of the Libertarian Republic, in a poll released by Public Policy Polling (PPP) on Saturday, “independent presidential candidate” Harambe earned 5% against Hillary Clinton (48%) and Donald Trump (43%). Harambe, a gorilla which had lived in the Cincinnati Zoo, earned fame in May after being killed. The 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla was shot after a three-year-old child fell into its enclosure. A zoo worker, fearing for the child’s life, decided to shoot the gorilla. We do not know how many answered the poll jokingly, ...

So, here we have the end result of the nearly 2-year propaganda war against local police departments. Our federal government will create a global police department, and to this I say yippee! I can hardly wait until the White BLM members of Flame gripe & complain about these new global agents. They'll be jacked and shoved into the trunk of a UN police cruiser so quick their dentures will rattle :)

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is launching a new effort to tap into the political power of young, undocumented immigrants, hoping to capitalize on Donald Trump’s promises to make deporting them a top priority of his presidency. The 730,000 young people brought to the U.S. as children without legal status are prohibited from voting. Known as Dreamers, they’ve proven themselves to be a powerful organizing force in American politics, mounting a high-profile public campaign that pressured President Barack Obama to grant many of them and their parents reprieves from deportation though two executive orders. Clinton’s national voter registration program, called “Mi ...

KIEV, Ukraine — On a leafy side street off Independence Square in Kiev is an office used for years by Donald J. Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, when he consulted for Ukraine’s ruling political party. His furniture and personal items were still there as recently as May.And Mr. Manafort’s presence remains elsewhere here in the capital, where government investigators examining secret records have found his name, as well as companies he sought business with, as they try to untangle a corrupt network they say was used to loot Ukrainian assets and influence elections during the administration of Mr. Manafort’s main client, former President Viktor F. ...

Bill Weld Just Compared AR-15s to “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” & Said Pistols Were Even Worse!

William Weld, the former Republican governor of Massachusetts selected to be Gary Johnson’s running mate on the Libertarian ticket, just made one of the mind-blowingly stupid comments I’ve heard a politician make regarding firearms, bar none. 16 minutes and 50 seconds into an interview with Revolt TV, Weld dropped this stunning statement. “The five-shot rifle, that’s a standard military rifle; the problem is if you attach a clip to it so it can fire more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon, and those are independent criminal offenses,” Weld said. “That is when they become, essentially, a weapon of mass destruction.

By day, Mark Sawaf, 39, was a mild-mannered mental health counselor. By night, Sawaf was an extremist leftist who made his neighbors nervous. Oh, and he was a Muslim who planted bombs all over the place, also. One of his bombs cost a man several of his fingers. Fortunately for people who don’t want to get blown up by radical Islamic terrorists, Sawaf was sent to Allah on Thursday night. According to the Lexington Herald, Sawaf was indicted by a federal grand jury in July for “owning and making unregistered destructive devices,” along with 7 other charges. He was ordered to remain in custody until his trial which was set for Sept. 13th. Apparently, Sawaf had planted bombs ...

Refusing to bring big profit stateside, Tim Cook says there's nothing patriotic about paying high taxes, the Apple CEO told The Washington Post. Apple CEO Tim Cook struck back at critics of the iPhone maker's strategy to avoid paying U.S. taxes, telling The Washington Post in a wide ranging interview that the company would not bring that money back from abroad unless there was a "fair rate." Along with other multinational companies, the tech giant has been subject to criticism over a tax strategy that allows them to shelter profits made abroad from the U.S. corporate tax rate, which at 35 percent is among the highest in the developed world. The move complies with the ...

A scuffle broke out at a Multnomah County Democrats meeting Thursday night, prompting a police response and leaving several of the party's newest members disillusioned. It all started when one of the organization's new members asked to amend the agenda at the meeting's outset. Chairwoman Lorraine Van Hoe reportedly denied the request, which only prompted loud, angry responses from the gallery. "People felt they were not being heard," said Leigha LaFleur, who last month traveled to Philadelphia as a delegate for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at the Democratic National Convention. "In order to be heard, they amplified their voices. That was taken as aggressive ...

The 'big lie' behind the rosy unemployment rate

When Donald Trump on Monday questioned the accuracy of the federal government’s glowing employment reports, it may have seemed like another unsubstantiated outburst from a famously loose-with-the-facts candidate. But in this case, he was joining a bipartisan chorus of businesspeople, economists and lawmakers who say the monthly employment report is an artificial portrait deliberately airbrushed by statisticians to make the jobs picture look better than it really is. Last week, the Obama administration’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the economy added 255,000 jobs in July, and that the official unemployment rate had remained at 4.9 percent—the lowest it has ...

White cops and correction officers are being targeted for death by a black prison gang in what’s being called “Black August,” according to a chilling security bulletin obtained by The Post. The bulletin was issued by the FBI’s National Gang intelligence Center, and the warnings were passed on to city Correction officials on Aug. 5. “The warning involves an increased risk for violence during ‘Black August,’” say a sternly worded internal memo issued to commanding officers at city jails. Two days after the warning, a city correction officer at Rikers was beaten up and slashed by an inmate, who also pummeled a second guard. That attack was not ...

I recently noticed 2 large holes in the side of my garbage dumpster. Now these dumpsters are are made out of very hard plastic. It would take a long time to cut a hole in one with a very sharp hacksaw. So, I'm thinking WTF? So I just went out to throw away some garbage and to my surprise, 2 squirrels scurried out when I opened the lid. Those little bastards are gnawing their way in.

Do you know where caffeine comes from? What about acetylsalicylic acid, otherwise known as aspirin? How about digitalis? If you said “plants,” you get a gold star. Many plants make caffeine, the active ingredient in aspirin derives from willow bark, and digitalis, along with its cousin digoxin, are both used for heart conditions and come from foxglove.These plants obviously had much to offer in terms of clinically effective therapeutics. Like any medical intervention, each one also has its side effects. Yet none of these side effects—which range from gastric bleeding to death—has led to these plants being classified as a Schedule I drug by the US Drug Enforcement Agency ...
