My 80yr old widowed mother just got a letter from the local office of the USDA *telling* her that their people were going to be on her property doing a 'grazing land inventory' survey using 'equipment'. She was given no choice to opt out of this or any other contact information. What are her rights in this matter? She does NOT want to let strangers with 'equipment' on her property. We've heard too many bad things about abuse of power and 'privilege' from fedgov wrt property rights and land use.

Germany, led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, has driven the debate on the handling of migrants in recent weeks, but there are signs that domestic tolerance is becoming stretched. At the same time some local governments are looking at measures which risk further anger, such as compulsory rental of private property for migrant housing.

Even from the outset Merkel’s move was not without its domestic critics. As Breitbart London previously reported, there were those among...

Monrovia — Monrovia's streets were buzzing. In my amazement that an air of normalcy seems to prevail despite the emergency measures, I paid little heed to buckets of chlorinated water at the entrance of a local bank. "Sir, sir, please.." the security guard called out to me, gesturing to the transparent plastic containers on a wooden chair. It was a familiar site; virtually every point of convergence now has one. Regular hand washing has become the norm, and security guards must ensure there's no exception. A couple of weeks back it was easy to stumble upon small groups questioning whether...

We've very nearly had our first obamacare victim in the family. We'll see next week. Daddy goes in for open heart surgery in Houston sometime next week. Prayers would definitely be appreciated... My father is a heart patient for 25 years. Had bypass surgery in 94 and clean arteries after that. Had a mild clotting incident in '05 and was put on warfarin. Warfarin leads to aortic stenosis (calcification of the aortic valve) in some patients, particularly older men. Daddy started noticing symptoms of heart failure last spring (spring 12). He wasn't given any medical options. Just 'let's wait it...

I was sitting in my apartment this past weekend watching all the talking heads yammer on and on about us bombing Afghanistan during Ramadan. I got to thinking, (dangerous that!) When exactly was WTC-93 attack? Answer: Feb 26, 1993. When was Mardi-Gras in 1993? Answer: Feb 23, 1993. Lent is the 40 days between Mardi-Gras and Easter. These $^$@%$#'s TRIED TO KILL 100K+ CIVILIANS During a Christian holiday, why SHOULDN'T we bomb their MILITARY targets during THEIR religious holiday?

<p>Throughout my years in Jersey politics, I have found the State House in Trenton to be a wonderland of conventional wisdom. The oracles of this conventional wisdom are certain Republican and Democrat staffers and consultants, the State House Press Corps, and the sages of the lobbying community. The problem is that the conventional wisdom is more often wrong than right.</p>

HAVANA When President Fidel Castro stormed to power 42 years ago, he won the adoration of Cuba's poor -- and the hatred of many rich property owners -- for the confiscation and redistribution of houses and mansions across the island. Decades after Castro's 1959 revolution and sweeping socialist reforms, a large proportion of the splendid colonial palaces and former luxury residences belong to the state, yet 85 percent of Cubans now own their own homes. That, however, has not put a stop to the phenomenon of house confiscations, which has re-emerged in the last 18 months in a crackdown by ...

Environmental groups want farm money shifted to conservation programs  WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress should shift half of all federal farm spending into conservation programs, away from payments that subsidize crop production, a coalition of environmental groups said Tuesday.  That would help reduce the runoff from farms and livestock operations that fouls rivers and streams and also benefit areas of the country that now receive relatively little money from federal farm programs, the groups said.  "Less than 10 percent of the money Congress spends now helps farmers help the environment," said Tim Searchinger, a lawyer for Environment Defense, one of the ...
