    Worms frozen in permafrost for 42,000 years have come back to life and are eating Shane McGlaun - Jul 27, 2018 Scientists have made a discovery that is quite mind-blowing. Roundworms found in the permafrost in two areas of Siberia have come back to life in Petri dishes. These worms had been frozen in the permafrost for tens of thousands of years, since the Pleistocene age. Scientists working on the research say that 300 prehistoric worms were analyzed and that these two were shown to contain viable nematodes.The nematodes showed signs of life after being defrosted. Scientists say the worms...

    The members of the United States military will receive their largest pay raise in nine years. Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act, granting the military a budget of more than $700 billion. Members of the armed forces will each receive a 2.6 percent raise in their annual pay. Those with high levels of experience or in-demand skills will be receiving bonuses on top of that. This new package also adds 15,600 active troops to the four major branches of the military, as well as the Air Guard and the Naval and Air Reserves. In addition to increasing the number...
  • Ongoing Islamization of America – Muslims Going Hyper Political

    07/26/2018 5:38:48 PM PDT · by ATOMIC_PUNK · 13 replies
    3 important points: 1) The Muslims (and Muslim Brotherhood) are going hyper political, a sign of preparation for the upper house. (This negates the argument that Shariah is just a personal faith and not to be imposed on non-Muslims). They are also using interfaith dialogue and interfaith churches as political cover for their infiltration. Here are some examples of that and the caucusing for the Democrat party that I mentioned: http://cair.com/press-center/ press-releases/14953-cair-mn- muslims-christians-and-people- of-faith-launch-path-to-fight- islamophobia.html This one is in WA State and a part of what they are calling the Faith Over Fear Road Show: https://www.jihadwatch.org/ 2018/01/hamas-linked-cair-and- the-splc-team-up-with- christian-and-jewish-groups- to-fight-anti-muslim-bigotry...
  • Islamic Coup: More Than 90 Muslim, Mostly Democrat, Running For Political Office In The US

    https://freedomoutpost.com ^ | TIM BROWN — JULY 26, 2018
    More than 90 American Muslims, nearly all of them Democrats, are running for public office across the country this year. Many are young and politically inexperienced, and most are long shots. But they represent a collective gamble: that voters are so disgusted by America’s least popular president on record that they’re willing to elect members of America’s least popular religious minority group. Although their number seems small, the candidacies mark an unprecedented rise for the nation’s diverse Muslim community that typically has been underrepresented in American politics. There are more than 3.3 million Muslims living in the United States, but...

Soledad tweeted a response to McCain’s comments on Wednesday, calling her performance a “full-on freak-out”: McCain immediately hit back, taking to Twitter to respond to the former MSNBC and Al Jazeera America news correspondent, saying, “Get a life, Soledad — I’m passionate and don’t want my grandkids growing up in a socialist nation.”

    Three of the highest ranking cyber-investigators announced immediate retirement. They say it isn’t because of all the Justice Department scandals but the frustration of not being able to do their jobs, as pointed out by a recent DOJ report, might have been too much to bear. Top cyber-sleuths are leaving the Federal Bureau of Investigation in droves. Three more departures were announced by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. Washington, D.C. bureaucrats are screaming that this couldn’t happen at a worse time. Threats “like Russia’s election interference and online foreign influence campaigns, have reached a point of alarm,” writes CNN....
