Over the weekend Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) suggested militia service is the litmus test for gun ownership and noted that “having small genitals is not sufficient reason to own a gun.” Casten’s comments were captured by his challenger, West Point Graduate Jeanne Ives (R). Ives posted video of Casten making the comments during a webinar: Ives responded Casten’s comments: “Maybe [he] thinks overgrown frat boys are cool…[but] on behalf of women everywhere: overgrown frat boys are not cool. They are pathetic, and they can’t be trusted to make sound decisions on other people’s lives. It is clear he is not the […]

Submitted by Ronan Manly of BullionStar.com In a move which has gone entirely unnoticed in the precious metals markets, but which signals gold and silver bar delivery constraints for the COMEX gold and silver futures contracts, Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group (CME), operator of the New York based COMEX, has quietly and under the radar, hugely expanded its lists of eligible refinery gold and silver bar brands that can be delivered against the massively traded flagship GC 100 (100 oz gold) and SI (5000 oz silver) contracts. These changes, which were implemented on 27 July and which are detailed below, also look […]

Eight schoolteachers from Meadowlawn Elementary School in Indiana have sued the local sheriff’s department after a traumatizing course of “active shooter” training allegedly left them physically and psychologically scarred. Active shooter training with the White County Sheriff’s Department was “one of the most terrifying experiences of [their lives],” the educators alleged in a lawsuit filed last week, claiming they were shot at point-blank range with airsoft guns and otherwise terrorized above and beyond the normal active-shooter drill procedure. They have demanded a jury trial, with some saying the experience forced them into early retirement. Also on rt.com This is America: Teacher’s ‘bullet […]

Despite Daesh losing its territory in the Middle East around two years ago, over 10,000 of the group’s fighters remain active “in small cells” between the countries of Syria and Iraq, according to new statements from Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Office Vladimir Voronkov. Speaking before the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Monday, Voronkov detailed that not only are there more than 10,000 Daesh fighters between Syria and Iraq, but attacks committed by Daesh personnel have also increased within the past year. Voronkov expressed that “there is a continued trend of attacks by individuals inspired online and acting alone […]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apparently accepted an offer from the Blue and White Party headed by his rival Benny Gantz that would prevent the dissolution of the Knesset. “Out of national responsibility,” explained Netanyahu, “I decided to accept the compromise proposal of [Zvi] Hauser MK.” Hauser’s proposal pushes the budget deadline back 100 days until a long-term solution is reached. Netanyahu stressed that it is “time for unity and not for elections” while accusing Blue and White of acting as a “government within the government”. He also acknowledged Gantz’s agreement to Hauser’s proposal and said that if they worked […]
The Lebanese military released a statement on Monday that said teams of its investigators, assisted by French experts, have discovered 25 containers of hydrochloric acid and 54 containers of other dangerous materials at the Port of Beirut, which was devastated on August 4 by a massive explosion blamed on an improperly stored stockpile of ammonium nitrate. The Lebanese Army statement warned that leakage of these additional chemicals could have “catastrophic” results.

Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog, This week it was Kenosha, Wisconsin and next week it will probably be somewhere else. Yet another senseless police shooting was followed by more rioting, looting and violence. Of course rioting, looting and violence have basically become a nightly occurrence in America at this point anyway. The protests never seem to end in some cities, and crime rates are absolutely skyrocketing all over the country. Much of what is written about all of this chaos is focused on trying to pin the blame on someone, but even if we correctly identify who […]
(Natural News) More violence is erupting in America’s streets, this time in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where “protesters” are reportedly now showing up armed to demonstrate against the local police department. After another alleged police-involved shooting resulted in a black many dying, Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) extremists staged a standoff where they blocked an armored police car from proceeding down a street. Reports indicate that at least two armed rioters approached the moving vehicle, prompting police who were positioned on top of it to begin lobbing tear gas canisters at the crowd. Just moments later, at least one of these armed […]

The president of the UN Security Council, Indonesia, said on Tuesday it was “not in the position to take further action” on a US bid to trigger a return of all UN sanctions on Iran because there is no consensus in the 15-member body.

Authored by Ethan Young via The American Institute for Economic Research, I’m sure we all remember that fateful month of March. One after another states began to issue lockdown orders, closing businesses, restricting travel, and ordering people to stay home. That was the month when the United States went from viewing COVID-19 as a minimal threat to issuing some of the most draconian lockdown measures in the entire world. Life changed almost immediately. The stock market plummets, the unemployment rate skyrockets, the masks get tighter, the social fabric frays. The government goes on an unprecedented power grab exerting more control over society […]
Robert David Steele asks me “Where’s US going culturally over the next 90 days to 4 years?” I explain that political liberalism—the doctrine that society should protect each individual’s private pursuit of happiness, without any shared vision of God or the good — is in crisis. The collapse of American democratic-republican liberalism, exemplified by the JFK and 9/11 coups, is accelerating. The complete collapse of liberalism (and with it our Constitutional freedoms) looms, and could happen from the left or the right. COVID-19, which appears to have emerged from a US-Israeli bioweapons strike on China and Iran, could be the catalyst […]

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Lawyers for the Kenosha, Wisconsin police shooting victim Jacob Blake said they were filing a civil lawsuit to seek financial remedy for the man that a video clip showed being shot at least seven times from behind by police officers apprehending him. “He has a long road to recovery.

Everyone may be talking about governance on Ethereum, but the yet-to-launch stablecoin startup Liquity is taking a contrarian view: zero governance. That doesn’t mean it won’t offer a yield farming option, though, because there’s no good reason not to deploy the popular growth hack when it’s working so well elsewhere. Liquity has started running ideas for farming schemes by its early supporters, including organizing a public Zoom session on the topic on Aug. 19. The startup is making a stablecoin mint that works much like MakerDAO, lending against collateral with a low-volatility token. It has many major differences from the original […]

(Natural News) Vaccines are a highly controversial topic. In one corner, you’ll find doctors and pharmaceutical companies insisting that they are the only way to prevent certain diseases and that parents who don’t vaccinate must not care about their children’s health.

But for all the talk about the connection between vaccines and autism, autoimmune disease and sterility, the more immediate problem of allergic reactions to vaccines is often overlooked.

(Natural News) On December 11, 2018, Mastercard publicly announced that it was partnering with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to develop a new “digital immunization records” system, which upon closer look appears to be the blueprints for a global Mark of the Beast.

Ankara and Athens have traded rhetorical barbs over offshore hydrocarbon rights, drawing the European Union and other nearby countries into the dispute, which earlier this month involved a light collision between Turkish […]

After flip-flopping in the past year whether to slap millionaires with even higher taxes, it now appears that New Jersey is willing to take the plunge and as Bloomberg reports, Governor Phil Murphy on Tuesday proposed more than $1 billion in new taxes, which would mostly come from millionaires even as some of the state’s most prominent rich residents most notably David Tepper previously packed up their bags and left for Florida in response to the state’s egregious taxes, already among the highest in the nation. What is confusing is that in order to fund NJ spending after the novel coronavirus […]
…from SouthFront.org A large explosion rocked the Arab Gas Pipeline in Syria on August 24 causing a blackout in the country’s capital Damascus and multiple other cities and towns. The explosion occurred between the towns of Ad Dumayr and Adra the a result of a ‘terrorist attack’, according to Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ali Ghanem. The incident led to a pressure drop and cascading shutdowns of the country’s power stations. Authorities almost immediately extinguished the fire, but as of August 25 morning blackouts were still seen in many towns and even in the capital, with some power restored to […]
The lion’s share of cyberattacks around the world originate from the US – a fact the West avoids mentioning too often. That’s according to.a high-ranking Russian official, citing research conducted by cybersecurity companies. Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Oleg Khramov said in an interview that the majority of hacks are conducted utilizing American IT infrastructure. From 2016-19, 40 to 75 percent of all attacks were launched from US territory, while Russia was home to no more than two to seven percent of such cases, Khramov told the newspaper Argumenty i Fakty. This “clearly demonstrates to any sensible person” that […]

A recently published research paper in the journal PLOS One analyzed the Grand Canyon’s oldest fossilized animal footprints, which are believed to have been left around 313 million years ago by early amniotes, a clade of tetrapod vertebrates that laid their eggs on land. The two sets of footprints were discovered in 2016 by geologist Allan Krill while he was hiking with students in Arizona’s Grand Canyon. Analysis of the footprints by Steve Rowland, a professor emeritus of geology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, revealed that they were both potentially left behind by the same unknown species. The footprints […]
In a letter sent to Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun Tuesday, Rep.

Gaza was in lockdown on Tuesday after the first cases of COVID-19 in the general population of the Palestinian enclave, whose restricted borders until now had helped spare it from an outbreak.

A government spokesman said the four cases were uncovered after a woman travelled to the West Bank, where she tested positive. Four members of her family then tested positive in Gaza, the first cases outside quarantined border facilities. Interior Ministry spokesman […]

(Natural News) Back in March, SacRT (Sacramento Regional Transit District) implemented a new cleaning policy for its buses in response to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) that involves “fogging” them regularly with chlorine dioxide.

WASHINGTON ― Defense hawks in Congress are pushing a contentious plan to give the Pentagon a stronger hand in crafting nuclear weapons budgets, but the Trump administration has been sending mixed messaging over recent weeks about whether the change is needed. The Senate-passed version of the annual defense policy bill would give the Pentagon-led Nuclear Weapons Council a say in the budget development of the National Nuclear Security Administration, a semi-autonomous agency within the Department of Energy whose mission related to the stockpile’s safety, security, and effectiveness. However, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy, Plans, and Capabilities Vic Mercado told reporters […]

The headquarters of the Swedish Armed Forces announced Tuesday that the military had initiated a “high readiness action” in the southern and southeastern Baltic Sea due to “the current, extensive military activity in the Baltic Sea region.” “There is currently extensive military activity in the Baltic Sea, conducted by Russian as […]
When Al Gore won the popular vote by more than half a million, but lost the Supreme Court vote by 5 to 4, he gracefully conceded the 2000 election to George W.

Gore insisted Tuesday—in an online interview with Reuters Editor in Chief Stephen J. Adler—that he’s had no second thoughts about his concession speech two decades ago because there was zero alternative. “When you say there were potentially some other […]

The baseless theory, which has grown in popularity among Trump’s base, claims there is a deep-state cabal of Satanist pedophiles in the American government that Trump is working to defeat with the help of an anonymous figure within the government.
