Let’s frame the situation in simple terms. You work for a company that has a very lucrative partnership with a big-time money man. That money man gives you a piece of information and tells you it’s important. What you do every day is spread information. That’s how you earn your living. Are you going to take that piece of info from the money man and spread it, or are you going to question it and research it and shoot back hard-edged questions to the money man? If you’re a loyal employee, and if you want to keep your job, and if you’re smart enough to understand how things work, you’re going to spread the money man’s piece of info and keep your head down. You’re not going to worry your pretty little head about whether the piece of info is true. Unless you’re a complete dolt, you certainly aren’t going to spread the info with a disclaimer stating that your source, the money man, has a major business contract with your company. Getting the picture? The truth is irreleva...

Eartha Kitt (1927 - 2008) Eartha Kitt was born on a cotton plantation of an African-American mother and a white father. She began singing as a member of the Katherine Dunham Company from 1943 to 1948 and soon released successful hits such as  Let's Do It, C'est Si Bon  and  Santa Baby  while she appeared in Orson Welles'  Time Runs,  in 1950. During the 1960s, she appeared as Catwoman in the  Batman  television series and in  I Spy,  in 1965. One of the 1950s most recognised African-American sex symbols – called 'the most exciting woman alive' by Orson Welles, the feline Eartha Kitt  with her erotic sweet purring voice inspired numerous singers such as Diana Ross, Janet Jackson and Madonna. Therefore 'that bad Eartha' with the suggestive manner in which she sang, was a self-professed sex-kitten and called herself 'the original Material Girl': she all did it first.

While Barack Obama was still president of this country, he inflicted an almost irreparable damage to this nation with his numerous unconstitutional activities. It now seems that the former president will have to face the consequences for his crimes. With the proof he has at his disposal, Trump can easily press charges against Obama whenever he so desires. Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney shared his thoughts about Devin Nunes this week. President Trump’s team was definitely spied by the CIA/NSA and it has nothing to do with the alleged Russian ties.

(CNN) The White House has instructed the State Department and the US mission to the United Nations to cut their budgets for UN programs nearly in half, including US peacekeeping and development assistance, two senior US officials told CNN on Monday. The dramatic cuts, which include a 37%, or $20 billion, slash in funding for the State Department and the US Agency for International Development, reflect a desire by the Trump administration to reduce US commitments to international organizations. Foreign Policy first reported the details of the White House's proposal to dramatically reduce spending on foreign aid. Washington prepares for budget cuts, culture changes US diplomats in New York had warned their UN counterparts about the likely "steep" cuts to US funding for the UN, one Western diplomat said, but not provided any details. The White House wants to cut the programs funded out of the State Department's Bureau of International Org...

North Korea warns of 'merciless' strikes   Tuesday, 14 Mar 2017 | 11:37 AM ET | 00:44 North Korea warned the United States on Tuesday of "merciless" attacks if an aircraft carrier strike group led by the USS Carl Vinson, which is joining South Korean forces for exercises, infringes on its sovereignty or dignity. North Korea, which has alarmed its neighbors with two nuclear tests and a string of missile launches since last year, said the arrival of the U.S. strike group was part of a "reckless scheme" to attack it. "If they infringe on the DPRK's sovereignty and dignity even a bit, its army will launch merciless ultra-precision strikes from ground, air, sea and underwater," the North's state news agency KCNA said. North Korea's official name is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "On March 11 alone, many enemy carrier-based aircraft flew along a course near territorial air and waters of the DPRK to s...

        The case of LaVena Johnson. LaVena Johnson was a soldier who enlisted in the Army in 2003. She was the first woman from Missouri to die in Iraq. What happened to this young black woman was appalling. She was found in her tent with a gunshot wound to the head, a broken nose, black eye, loose teeth, acid burns on her genitals, and a trail of blood leading away from her tent. What’s even more appalling is the Department of Defense has officially ruled her death a suicide. The autopsy report and photographs revealed that her death was inconsistent with a suicide, and looked consistent with a rape-murder, but as far as the U.S. Criminal Investigative Command for the Army is concerned the case remains closed. Her father became suspicious when he saw her body in the funeral home and decided to investigate. At first the Department of the Army refused to release information, but eventually it did under the Freedom of Information Act after Pat Tillman...

When the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down President Trump’s first Executive Order on immigration the mainstream globalist media heralded the decision and again accused President Trump of being xenophobic and racist. We criticized the court’s decision for usurping the president’s Constitutional authority without addressing that aspect in their writings. Now that the dust has cleared – and, while President Trump behaved like the adult in the room by offering a second, more narrowly tailored Executive Order –  other members of the Ninth Circuit Court have taken the extraordinary step of filing a dissent rebuking their colleagues . Noted Constitutional expert and law professor Jonathan Turley released his statement about this highly unusual move yesterday.    Turley is scheduled to testify on Thursday during the Senate’s confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.    Turley wrote: “In a surprising move, five judges (including...
