Everybody Is Forgetting That Clinton Allies D | The Daily Caller:
"“Oksana was keeping it all quiet,” Telizhenko said, but added that “the embassy worked very closely with” Chalupa, the DNC operative.
Like the Ukrainian embassy, the DNC distanced itself from Chalupa’s actions when asked by Politico, insisting that she was acting on her own."

Is This The Generation That Is Going To Financially Destroy America?
"Did you know that the federal government is going to spend more than 4 trillion dollars this year?
To put that into perspective, U.S. GDP for the entire year of 2017 is going to be somewhere between 18 and 19 trillion dollars.
So when you are talking about 4 trillion dollars you are talking about a huge chunk of our economy.
But of course the federal government doesn’t bring in 4 trillion dollars a year.
At the beginning of Barack Obama’s first term, we were 10.6 trillion dollars in debt, and now we are nearly 20 trillion dollars in debt.
That means that we have been adding more than a trillion dollars a year to the national debt.
When you break that down, that means that we have essentially been stealing more than a hundred million dollars from future generations of Americans every single hour of every single day to pay for our debt-fueled lifestyle.
Even Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is warning that this is not sustainable, and yet we just keep on doing it..."

Amelia Earhart picture debunked, was taken before she disappeared | Fox17
Amelia Earhart picture debunked, was taken before she disappeared | Fox17:
"(CNN) — A newly discovered photo that claimed to hold the key to the 80-year-old mystery surrounding Amelia Earhart’s disappearance may have been published two years before she vanished, new evidence suggests.
The blurry photo, used in a recent History Channel documentary, was alleged to show the groundbreaking pilot and her navigator, Fred Noonan, alive and well on a dock in the Marshall Islands in 1937.
But two bloggers say they have found the photo in a Japanese coffee-table book from 1935 — when Earhart was safely in the United States.
The bloggers say the photo was originally published in a travel book titled “Naval life line; the view of our South Pacific: Photo album of Southern Pacific Islands.”...

Study blows ‘greenhouse theory out of the water’
Study blows ‘greenhouse theory out of the water’:
"BOZEMAN, Mont. – A new scientific paper contends the entire foundation of the man-made global-warming theory – the assumption that greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere by trapping heat – is wrong.
If confirmed, the study’s findings would crush the entire “climate change” movement to restrict CO2 emissions, the authors assert
Some experts contacted by WND criticized the paper, while others advised caution.
Still others suggested that the claimed discovery represents a massive leap forward in human understanding – a “new paradigm.”
The paper argues that concentrations of CO2 and other supposed “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere have virtually no effect on the earth’s temperature.
They conclude the entire greenhouse gas theory is incorrect."

Elected Officials Stand to Get Thousands from Wind Deals If Zoning Approved [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
Elected Officials Stand to Get Thousands from Wind Deals If Zoning Approved [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"Isabella County change would mean hundreds of turbines; some board members already have deals
Two current members of a Michigan county board that is considering zoning changes to allow wind farms have apparently entered into leases with a company developing a wind farm.
Contracts for placing wind turbines reportedly pay landowners $8,000 to $14,000 annually.
While Isabella County has been asked to make zoning changes that would allow a wind developer to erect 200 or more wind turbines, county commissioners George Green and Frank Engler have entered turbine tower lease agreements with Apex Clean Energy, Inc., according to a website that tracks deeds recorded in the county.
...The leases were uncovered by Kevon Martis, an activist who opposes industrial wind farms in rural areas..."

What went wrong with M-6, the poster child for concrete failure | MLive.com
What went wrong with M-6, the poster child for concrete failure | MLive.com:
"...M-6 opened to much fanfare in the fall of 2004 — four years ahead of the schedule that was first announced.
Issues arose with the M-6 project ahead of the concrete failure.
The bridge decks on two of the overpasses had to be re-done immediately after they were poured because the wrong concrete was used — and the asphalt portion of the road was in need of repairs seven years after it was built.
In the past six years, $1 million has gone into patching the concrete joints.
And this summer, $9.5 million is being spent to redo M-6 west of Wilson Avenue.
The portion of M-6 that is being redone this summer amounts to about one-third of the original concrete road.
The road was initially poured in 2003 and 2004 – a 12-mile-long stretch that cost $22 million.
But none of the concrete pavement work — including this summer’s project — has been paid for by the company that built it.
The work has all been done after the seven-year warranty expired..."

Articles: The Rage of Islam:
"To preserve his irrational sense of honor, the Muslim man must blame others for any wrongdoing. Conforming to this perverse logic, United Nations Human Rights Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, Dubravka Šimonović, blames Israel for the violence committed by Palestinian men against their own women. If Israel’s retaliatory attacks were indeed the cause, shouldn’t the Israeli women be even more abused by their husbands? But that is not the case."
