This was the disturbing finding of a recent investigation by local Sacramento news affiliate ABC10 News, which revealed that Sacramento residents were treated as human guinea pigs in a heinous government scandal involving massive human rights abuses.

Virginia Senator Pushes Amendment to Defund Governor Terry McAuliffe’s Protective Detail

by AWR Hawkins Virginia state senator Bill Carrico (R-Dist. 40) is responding to Governor Terry McAuliffe’s (D) relentless gun control push by introducing a budget amendment to remove funding for McAuliffe’s protection detail. Carrico said, “If he’s so afraid of guns, then I’m not going to surround him with armed state policemen.” McAuliffe has pushed numerous gun controls as governor and, in August, infamously pushed for expanding background checks after Virginia reporter Alison Parker had been shot on air.

Al-Qaida, ISIS, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram and many other terror organizations want the death of as many of us as possible or our forcible conversion to their particularly brutal strain of Islam. They dream of a worldwide caliphate in which all free people are subjugated to a Salafist dictatorship under sharia law.

Public hearings, two Trudeaus and ‘reefer madness’ fear-mongering

 The long war over marijuana legalization by Ian MacLeod, Postmedia News By 1971, marijuana’s scent hung over most of Canada. Some 1.5 million folks had taken at least one drag on a joint. Hundreds of thousands were regularly firing up, grooving to Three Dog Night and learning from the leaked Pentagon Papers that the U.S. administration had lied about the Vietnam War.
