Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Nevada Rep. Susie Lee introduced legislation this week aimed at enabling $45 million in Bureau of Reclamation funds to be used for helping the Hoover Dam. Proponents of the "Help Hoover Dam Act" say it would cut regulations and allow the bureau to tap into the Colorado River Dam Fund to support efforts related to the dam's upkeep. Ed Gerak, Executive Director of Irrigation and Electrical Districts of Arizona, said in a statement that the funding could help mitigate possible price increases for electricity. This bill will allow the Bureau of Reclamation to use...

The cataclysmic disaster that was the great depression of 1929 would cause chaos around the world for the best part of a decade. The powerhouse that was the American economy was the saving grace of most of the world after WW1. This however, would also serve to be it's undoing. ..... Follow along using the transcript.

Former President Trump said in an interview that aired Monday that he predicts the U.S. economy will crash and that he hopes it does so within the next year. In the interview with Lou Dobbs, Trump, the current front-runner in the GOP presidential primary race, explained that, if he were elected again, he would not want to serve a term similar to President Hoover’s — who took office when the economy was stable but later oversaw the start of the Great Depression.

In remarks Thursday at a Maryland college, President Biden took a swipe at former President Trump for being one of two presidents who left office with fewer jobs than when he entered. In an effort to sell “Bidenomics,” his economic plan that intends to build from the bottom up and middle out, Biden coined a new nickname for his predecessor: Donald “Hoover” Trump.

Many find it shocking the Department of Justice (DOJ) could be capable of ginning up false allegations against a former president in a previous election and would again do the same prior to the 2024 election. This shock, however, is a mark of just how drastically conservatives have failed to recognize the long decline of the DOJ and its ultimate transformation into a political subsidiary of a radicalized Democratic Party. Conservatives would do well to observe seminal moments that have led the country’s top law enforcement entity to its present dire state. In that review, all roads ultimately lead back...

What do I mean by cultural capitulation? I mean bowing down to the latest cultural fad, of kowtowing to the most current manifestation of what is PC, of becoming slaves to whatever the societal elites decide is acceptable.

VIDEOThe FBI is apparently continuing to take a page out of the old J. Edgar Hoover playbook by sitting on incriminating evidence against a president in order to not too subtly blackmail him into doing the bidding of that organization. In Hoover's time, his goal was to keep his job past his mandatory retirement age. He was able to remain by use of his incriminating material on John F. Kennedy. Today, the FBI has dreams much bigger than that. They want to create a state within a state with massive surveillance upon American citizens in much the manner of the...

An Alabama fifth-grade girls' basketball team have been denied their championship trophy after being forced to join a boys' league - and then beating all their opponents. Spain Park girls' team, from Hoover, Alabama, were reportedly told at the start of the season that they would not be able to train at the local gym facilities unless they joined the boys' league. In response, they did exactly that and went on to win the championship - only to be told that the trophy would instead be handed to the runners-up that they'd just beaten in the final.

A small explosion and fire have been reported at the Hoover Dam in Nevada, local officials and witnesses say. The exact circumstances were not immediately known. The incident happened just after 10 a.m. on Tuesday when visitors at the dam reported seeing an explosion, fire and a large plume of smoke at the base of the dam. The cause and the circumstances of the explosion were not immediately known.

This is the story of how the FBI framed four innocent men for murder, destroyed families, and tried to cover it up. It’s also the story of the convergence of John Durham and Robert Mueller: how Durham uncovered the FBI’s crimes and how Robert Mueller’s FBI disputed the innocence of the men the FBI framed. The FBI knocked and Mike Albano opened the door. It was 1983. As a member of the Massachusetts State Parole Board, Albano thought he had been doing his job when he looked into voting to commute the sentence of Peter Limone, who along with Joseph...

For all of Kamala Harris’ impressive firsts, she’s not the first person of color elected vice president of the United States. That was achieved by Charles Curtis, a Native American lawmaker and member of the Kaw Nation, who served under President Herbert Hoover some 90 years ago.

Failure-proof freedom is not possible. But we strive for it. Herbert Hoover knew in 1936 just how bad “perfect” plans could become. What good did it do the pharaohs in Exodus to resist the will of God and think that they could overcome the pestilences He sent them. Nowadays entire societies think that by shutting down they can conquer a pandemic. The world is slowly realising that lockdowns don’t save us and the economic truth of what we are as workers, traders and customers. This knowledge may come too late to save the Trump presidency. But will the spirit of...

Charles Curtis (1860–1936) was an American attorney who served as the 31st vice president of the United States from 1929 to 1933. A member of the Kaw Nation born in the Kansas-Nebraska Territory in 1860, Curtis was the first person with significant Native American ancestry and the first person with acknowledged non-European ancestry to reach either of the highest offices in the Federal Executive Branch. He is the highest-ranking enrolled Native American ever to serve in the federal government. He is the most recent Executive Branch officer to have been born in a territory rather than a state. He was...

Is the standard of truth when being interviewed by the FBI, different from other agencies? Other levels of law enforcement? Are you allowed to lie to the local police, or, if not, how do the penalties differ? If things are weighted toward the FBI to a draconian extent, is this a hold-over from HUAC days?

Herbert Hoover: Indian Reservation, Engineer, WWI Relief, President, Middle East, Communism, Constitution, the Bible Herbert Clark Hoover was born AUGUST 10, 1874, in West Branch, Iowa. At the age of 6, his father died. Herbert was sent to live on the Osage Indian Reservation in Oklahoma with his Quaker uncle, who was an Indian agent.

President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist in 1901. The next President, Theodore Roosevelt wanted the government to track anarchist groups, as well as stop sex-trafficking. This led to the creation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1908, though some Congressmen feared it might evolve into a deep-state secret police. In 1914, an anarchist shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand, beginning World War I. Beginning in 1924, the director of the FBI was J. Edgar Hoover, till his death on May 2, 1972. For 48 years, under eight Presidents, J. Edgar Hoover oversaw the Federal Bureau of Investigation, becoming famous...

FULL TITLE: 'I made a big mistake': American ISIS bride who called for terror attacks at Memorial Day parades and has married three jihadi fighters begs the US to let her go back to Alabama An American jihadi bride living in a refugee camp after fleeing ISIS's last stand in Syria is begging the US to allow her to return home. Hoda Muthana, 24, left Hoover, Alabama in 2014, in order to join ISIS in Syria, where she would later call for US Muslims to 'spill all of the blood' by launching terror attacks during Memorial Day events. Now, having...

Last week, the New York Times reported that the FBI, in 2017, launched an investigation of President Trump “to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security” and specifically “whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.” The story was predictably treated as the latest in an endless line of Beginning-of-the-End disasters for the Trump presidency, though – as usual – this melodrama was accomplished by steadfastly ignoring the now-standard, always-buried paragraph pointing out the boring fact that no actual evidence of guilt has yet emerged: The lack of any evidence...
