So think long and hard about this next question: Would you trade out all of those items for a tiny microchip implanted into your skin? Here’s another idea. Imagine all of the smart devices you wear and the […]

I just received this post from Erin in response to the prior post I sent out regrading vaccines. With all the tech problems with China and other  issues this is another one to pay attention to, IMHO.

The edit history for Greta’s Facebook page shows that the content on the page was posted by her father, Svante Thunberg, and by Indian climate activist Adarsh Prathap, who serves […]

As much as I hate the F word this reporter said what he really thinks if the Royal Family.   I am still laughing at the rest of what he says. BTW – it is reported that the pussy whipped prince and his no talent wife are living in a very fancy residence on the S.E. corner of Vancouver Island –  […]

Britain, France, and Germany on Tuesday formally accused Iran of violating its landmark 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers. The three countries said they still wanted to save the deal on curbing Iran’s nuclear program, rather than joining the U.S. in resuming sanctions.

By Rebecca Kheel Let’s go back a bit…..  In December, the United States blamed a rocket attack in Iraq that killed a U.S. contractor on an Iran-backed militia and responded with strikes on the militia. Supporters of the militia then stormed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Days later, the U.S. military killed Iranian Quds Forces leader Gen. Qassem Soleimani in […]

They might be called *Sleepers* but they aren’t SLEEPING – you can count on that – – “sleeping” with one eye open to attack when you least expect it. Muslims have a long history of violence and their Koran tells them it is fine to LIE to infidels (non-Muslims) to obtain their end goals. Bind and cast out the evil […]

The National Interest The Type 81 was reliable, able to shoot around 15,000 rounds on average without parts breaking or needing replacement. Key point: It was meant to be a test of the Chinese ability to develop small arms on its own. In the 1980s, China’s small arms were largely inferior to the United States and Russia. The PLA was mostly […]
