Marines: Best combat units have no women

Marines: Best combat units have no women Basic biology complicates Pentagon’s gender plans by Douglas Ernst Basic biological truths are complicating the Pentagon’s desire to socially engineer combat units to include women. An experimental study conducted by the Marine Corps concludes that the biggest, fastest, strongest and most effective ground combat units include no women. Findings from the Ground Combat Element Integrated Task Force, or GCEITF, study may be used by the Marine Corps to ask for an exception from opening all jobs to women by January. A request must be made with the Pentagon by October. The Christian Science… View Article

Socialist Corbyn wins UK Labour leadership in landslide

Socialist Corbyn wins UK Labour leadership in landslide By Roland Jackson Radical leftwinger Jeremy Corbyn on Saturday won the crown of Britain’s main opposition Labour party in a landslide victory, becoming the nation’s most left-wing political leader for over 30 years.

The newly-elected leader condemned “grotesque levels of inequality” and “an unfair welfare system” in his victory speech to party members in central London. The veteran… View Article

Trump on ‘Tonight Show:’ Will apologize ‘if I’m ever wrong’

Trump on ‘Tonight Show:’ Will apologize ‘if I’m ever wrong’ By FRAZIER MOORE Donald Trump clarified, sort of, a long-standing question about his personality during an appearance on Friday’s “Tonight Show.” Host Jimmy Fallon asked him, playfully, if the billionaire developer and GOP presidential front-runner has ever apologized for anything. “I fully think apologizing is a great thing,” the famously self-assured Trump replied before winning the studio audience’s applause by adding: “But you have to be WRONG. … I will absolutely apologize sometime in the hopefully distant future if I’m ever wrong.” That’s how it went, with both Fallon and… View Article

Donald Trump Says Immigrant Deportations Done in Two Years

Donald Trump Says Immigrant Deportations Done in Two Years   By Heather Haddon Donald Trump estimated that it will take 18 months to two years to get the roughly 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to leave the country, and that he would then build a wall running along the border with Mexico. The businessman’s statement made on a call with Alabama Republicans Thursday night added a bit of specificity to the Republican presidential frontrunner’s hardline stance on immigration. Mr. Trump released a six-page policy paper on immigration last month, and reporters have asked for details about how… View Article

CIA and the Drug Business

CIA and the Drug Business The corrupt connections between U.S. intelligence and drug enforcement go back more than seven decades as American spies and drug investigators routinely crossed paths and collaborated — with the interests of average citizens never high on the agenda, as author Douglas Valentine describes. By Douglas Valentine The outlawing of narcotic drugs at the start of the Twentieth Century, the turning of the matter from public health to social control, coincided with the belief that the U.S. government had an obligation to American industrialists to create markets in every nation in the world, whether those nations liked… View Article

Trump, Sessions to Thwart GOP on Obama TPP

Trump, Sessions to Thwart GOP on Obama TPP In the Washington Post, Greg Sargent notes that Donald Trump may be about to gain even more political support:  So you think Donald Trump’s demagoguery on immigration has created problems for the other GOP candidates? Well, another very ripe opportunity for Trump to make his GOP rivals even more miserable may be lurking right around the corner, and it could expose the same sort of schism between GOP elites and GOP voters that Trump’s forays into immigration policy have. I’m talking about the massive global trade deal called the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Some… View Article

Farrakhan calls for boycott of Christmas

Farrakhan calls for boycott of Christmas ‘So that those who give us pain, can receive some pain in return’ by Bob Unruh Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is calling for a “black Christmas” for 2015 – a holiday season in which blacks withhold their money from white businesses. He pointed out that blacks have a combined wealth that is equal to the 10th largest economy on earth. But blacks don’t have the trappings of a prosperous society, he said, which leaves “black people like a carcass that all the vultures gather to suck the life out of us.” Farrakhan’s… View Article

Refugee crisis hits prime-time but Christians left ‘out in cold’

Refugee crisis hits prime-time but Christians left ‘out in cold’ Believers in Syria, Pakistan, Iraq ignored by Europe, U.S. by Leo Hohmann As U.S. and European leaders reach out with open arms to tens of thousands of Muslim refugees flooding into Europe, the groans of persecuted Christians in Syria, Iraq and Pakistan are increasingly drowned out. President Obama announced Thursday that the U.S. will accept an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year, on top of the 1,600 that have already arrived. The Syrian arrivals coming from United Nations refugee camps to date have been 95 percent Muslim. When… View Article

Saudi Arabia offers to build 200 mosques in Germany While kingdom denies entry to any refugees from Syria by Cheryl Chumley Saudi Arabia’s government has so far denied entry to any refugees from Syria – but instead, the Arab nation is offering to construct 200 mosques in Germany to serve the migrants, various media reported. Such a move would bring a dramatic change to the religious demographics of Germany. As Breitbart noted, “In Islamic traditions, which Saudi Arabia claims to uphold and enforce, Islam should be spread by jihad wars and by migrations, dubbed a hijra.” The mosques offered Germany… View Article

Toronto police planted loose heroin in suspect’s car

Toronto police planted loose heroin in suspect’s car to justify illegal search, judge rules by Douglas Quan Toronto police committed “egregious wrongful conduct” after they planted loose heroin on the centre console of a drug suspect’s car to create a pretext for searching the vehicle, a judge has found. In January 2014, Toronto police arrested Nguyen Son Tran in the city’s Chinatown after finding 11 grams of plastic-wrapped heroin tucked behind the steering column of his car. But Ontario Superior Court Judge Edward Morgan ruled last week that officers never had the right to search the car in the first place… View Article
