Obama Scrambles To Create “New ISIS Narrative” After Putin Embarrasses Washington

Submitted by Tyler Durden One of the most amusing things about Russia’s headlong plunge into Syria’s five-year conflict is the extent to which it effectively represented Moscow calling time on Washington’s strategy of seeking to bring about regime change in the Mid-East by intentionally destabilizing otherwise strong (if not always benign) governments. Until September 30 – which is the day a three star Russian general strolled into the US embassy in Baghdad and informed the staff that airstrikes in Syria begin “in one hour” – Washington, Riyadh, Ankara, and Doha seemed perfectly content to simply wait around for one group… View Article

NYC Transgender Laws To Fine Property Owners $250K Over “Improper” Pronouns

Let me very very be clear. We think people should be able to be who they are. People own themselves. So long as someone is not hurting another one should be left alone to live life anyway one likes. Gay, straight, transgender, whatever. But these kind of mandates from government go beyond simple acceptance and tolerance, a “liberal” (in the classical sense) society. This is hard nosed government intervention designed to socially engineer for the benefit of a certain special interest. This is not “tolerance.” This is force used to impose a moral code in a way not unlike how… View Article

New Ban Bill Hits Congress: Targets Semi-Automatic Rifles & Handguns: “To Ensure That The Right To Keep and Bear Arms Is NOT Unlimited” by Mac Slavo In the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings we warned that sweeping changes were in the works for Americans’ right to bear arms. It started with ammunition tax proposals, restrictions on firearm accessories imports and most recently Governors began bypassing Congress altogether by banning gun ownership for those on any of the government’s many watchlists.

Sacramento officials caught secretly adding cancer-causing chemicals to the water supply

 by: Ethan A. Huff For over a year, California’s capital city had been poisoning the public water supply – in secret – with chemicals that are known carcinogens, and that have never been approved for use in the water treatment process. 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. Between 2013 and 2014, the City of Sacramento began quietly adding a chemical known as aluminum chlorohydrate, or ACH, to the public… View Article

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. McAuliffe made the push for expanded background checks before the gunman who killed Parker had been caught and, therefore, before he had… View Article

Political correctness may kill us — literally

By Lorne Gunter , Postmedia Network In the war on terrorism, we in the West may be our own worst enemies. The political correctness of many of our leaders and opinion-makers could bury us.

They dream of a worldwide caliphate in which all free people are subjugated to a Salafist dictatorship under sharia law. But ISIS and the others are only a threat to the West so long as… View Article
