Lower House considers 50-year ban on convicted pedophiles

Lower House considers 50-year ban on convicted pedophiles entering Russia A Russian MP has suggested a 50-year visa ban for anyone convicted of pedophilia-related crimes, including those who make child pornography or involve the underage in this business. State Duma deputy Aleksandr Sidyakin (United Russia) submitted a  set of amendments to the Law on Entering and Exiting the Russian  Federation that, according to the parliamentarian, would create a   “migration barrier” against the spreading of sex tourism  that involves children. The bill proposes a ban on foreigners which would last 50 years  from the date of conviction for pedophilia-related crimes. This … View Article

Federal government routinely hires internet trolls

            Federal government routinely hires internet trolls, shills to monitor chat  rooms, disrupt article comment sections NaturalNews) You’ve probably run into them before — those seemingly random  antagonizers who always end up diverting the conversation in an online chat room  or article comment section away from the issue at hand, and towards a much  different agenda. Hot-button issues like illegal immigration, the two-party  political system, the “war on terror” and even alternative medicine are among  the most common targets of such attackers, known as internet “trolls” or  “shills,” who in many cases are nothing more… View Article

Sugar is ‘addictive and the most dangerous drug of the times’

Sugar is ‘addictive and the most dangerous drug of the times’ Soft drinks should carry tobacco-style warnings that sugar is highly addictive and dangerous, a senior Dutch health official has warned. Paul van der Velpen, the head of Amsterdam’s health service, the Dutch capital city where the sale of cannabis is legalised, wants to see sugar tightly regulated. “Just like alcohol and tobacco, sugar is actually a drug. There is an important role for government. The use of sugar should be discouraged. And users should be made aware of the dangers,” he wrote on an official public health website. “This… View Article

Yesterday, Obama Was Not My President–or Yours

                      Yesterday, Obama Was Not My President–or Yours On Monday, while the death toll mounted at the Navy Yard, President Barack Obama delivered a strident partisan tirade against Republicans, using the fifth anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse to score political points ahead of the debt ceiling debate. It was an appalling act of division and insensitivity, and unlike George W. Bush’s My Pet Goat moment on 9/11, it was a calculated abdication of leadership. It was also an act that places Obama’s passivity during the Benghazi attacks–and his decision to… View Article

The Bureaucracy – No Butt Flicking Allowed

The Bureaucracy – No Butt Flicking Allowed There are two types of bureaucrats in the federal bureaucracy: political appointees and civil servants. The president can appoint approximately 2,000 people to top positions within the federal bureaucracy. These people are known as political appointees. For much of the nineteenth century, presidents routinely hired political supporters to work in the bureaucracy. Over time, the federal bureaucracy became corrupt and inept, leading to calls for reform. In 1883, Congress passed the Pendleton Act (also called the Civil Service Reform Act), which put limits on the spoils system for the first time. The act… View Article
