By Susan Ferrechio (@susanferrechio) Vice-president elect Pence on Thursday made a triumphant return to Capitol Hill, where he told Republican lawmakers they need to “buckle up and be ready to work extremely hard,” according to lawmakers in the room.

He is expected to play an outsized role in moving the Trump agenda, which includes repealing Obamacare, a longtime GOP goal. Republicans said Thursday they will convene on Jan. 3 and...

Why Donald Trump Must Shut Down The Federal Reserve And Start Issuing Debt-Free Money

By Michael Snyder If Donald Trump truly wants to fix the economy, he must shut down the Federal Reserve.  If he just tries to patch up our current system, he will fail, because it has been fundamentally flawed from the very beginning. A little over a century ago, very powerful forces on Wall Street convinced Congress to completely restructure our financial system.  An immensely powerful central bank known as the Federal Reserve was created, and the goal was to transform the U.S. dollar into a debt-based currency that would continuously be inflated and to create an endless debt spiral...

George Soros in Forgotten Interview: “I cannot and do not look at the social consequences of what I do”

By Daisy Luther Do you want to know who George Soros really is? He told us decades ago and nobody listened. Check out this chilling 60 Minutes interview from Dec. 20, 1998. Soros destabilizes economies to add to his billions and he doesn’t care about how this affects the people who suffer. During the interview, he said, with regard to speculative market attacks: I don’t feel guilty. I’m engaged in an amoral activity which is not meant to have anything to do with guilt. Soros’ complete lack of guilt about anything seems to be an ongoing theme in his...

“YOUR WHITENESS SCARES ME!” Leftist Mob THREATENS Radio Host Vicki McKenna at UW Madison

Shapiro got through his introduction when all hell broke loose. Watchdog.org reported: Far left race protesters stood up and screamed, “Safety! Safety! Safety,” interrupting Shapiro’s address. The safe word apparently was an expression that the university is a safe space, where hate-filled rhetoric isn’t welcome…. …Campus police watched but did nothing to stop the interruptions. At one point, they looked on as the protesters stormed the stage and continued their chants. Shapiro was told by...

Is Society or Psychiatry to Blame for the ‘Seriously Mentally Ill’ Dying 25 Years Prematurely?

The uncomfortable fact is that many of us don’t care about the seriously mentally ill. By Bruce E. Levine / AlterNet “Adults in the U.S. living with serious mental illness die on average 25 years earlier than others, largely due to treatable medical conditions,” according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. This is not controversial, as establishment psychiatry and its critics agree. What is controversial is who is to blame—society, psychiatry, or the victims themselves? And what is too taboo for the mainstream media to even discuss is whether many of us, privately, don’t care—or may even want...
