‘Matt Drudge took to Twitter to deliver an ongoing tirade against Republicans’ eagerness to deliver a fast-track trade bill to President Obama’s desk. The bill’s details have not been made public — which hasn’t stopped Republicans from surrendering Congress’s power to make amendments to a president’s future trade deals…’

Is anybody else wondering why Isis can hold military parades in broad daylight – displaying long columns of vehicles crammed with jihadis – without have the crap bombed and strafed out of them?
Could it possibly be that they’re doing the U.N.’s work for them, aiding the mass movement of cheap labour aka “refugees” to the West?

‘Foundations plan to pay news media to cover radical UN agenda
EXCLUSIVE: The United Nations Foundation created by billionaire Ted Turner, along with a branch of media giant Thompson Reuters, is starting to train a squadron of journalists and subsidize media content in 33 countries—including the U.S. and Britain–in a planned $6 million effort to popularize the bulky and sweeping U.N.-sponsored Sustainable Development Goals, prior to a global U.N. summit this September. where U.N. organizers hope they will be endorsed by world leaders.
The unprecedented media push is formally intended to start on May 25 but is already underway. It is intended to help breathe some new life into a sprawling U.N. effort–supported by, among others, the Obama administration–to create a global social and environmental agenda for the next 15 years…’

‘Elderly Residents Evicted to Make Way for Asylum Seekers
…Sweden is, per capita, the largest importer of asylum seekers in Europe, with 8,365 asylum applications per million citizens in 2014, compared to just 494 in the United Kingdom. Breitbart London reported earlier this week on the extraordinary lengths the Swedish government was going to, to make even returning Jihadists from the conflicts in Syria and Iraq feel welcome. Terrorists will be given free psychological help with traumatic experiences in warzones they volunteered to join, and will be rewarded with job offers upon returning so they don’t “feel alienated” in Swedish society…’

There’s a lot more going on in East Timor than they’re telling you about. In this special report we reveal details of the biggest military clash of the campaign so far – one that brought us to the brink of war – and we profile Indonesia’s military strength. IAN WISHART and

I’m a former soldier and veteran of two foreign wars. After my military service I became a private military contractor. I’ve spent more than half of my adult life in third world shitholes having third world shitbags trying to shoot me and blow me up.

I loved being a soldier and I was proud to defend my country and its people. There were some dark, arduous times of course, but the adventures, lifelong friends, and my love for my people made it a pleasure to serve.

A look back

The memory of my service has since been tainted as I realized that I was less defending my nation and its people than serving the interests of a government that not only did not care about me, but has increasingly showed itself to hate me. I came back to a country that I did not recognize as the one that I had set out to defend all those years ago. It more closely resembles the war zones I fought in than the country in which I grew up.

‘Most people know of the dangers of second-hand smoke, but not many have heard of the third-hand threat.
Research has proven second-hand smoke to be dangerous, especially in cars, with more than 350 people dieing in New Zealand each year because of it.
But now the concept of third-hand smoke is starting to be raised.
Third-hand smoke is the transferral of toxins and carcinogens from clothing or other surfaces to another person – for example, an adult who goes outside to smoke and then picks up children afterwards, a Ministry of Health spokeswoman said…’
What “research”? Give us a link to it, and the methodology.
Until then, it’s all bullshit, propaganda and self-serving hype by parasites living (very comfortably) off fads and scare campaigns.
I wonder how they arrived at the figure of 350 people dying each year from secondhand smoke, “especially in cars”?
They had some method of discounting exhaust fumes, diesel fumes in traffic, exposure to chemicals and chemical fumes, cooking oil smoke, outgassing from the plastics used in car interiors etc etc etc?
The figure quoted is either a wild guess or a flat-out lie.

An eight-year-old girl in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. was told she’s no longer allowed to read books on the school bus because it poses a risk to the safety of other students.
Sarah Auger loves reading and used to enjoy using her 20-minute ride to and from school to read for pleasure.
But recently, her bus driver told her she had to stop.
She says she was told reading posed a risk to other students on the bus.
