Banner headline events almost always flow from quieter real-life causes, and the worst attack on Israel in fifty years is not an exception. The coordinated raids and massacres on October 7 were possible only because of more subtle interventions over two and a half years in rooms at the State Department and the White House, with indirect help from nonprofits like the Soros-funded International Crisis Group. These interventions were driven by a small network of government and interest group insiders whose actions have gone unreported in establishment media. Though their further consequences aren’t yet clear, they’ll almost certainly involve a...

On Forbes Newsroom, California Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman floated the idea of former President George W. Bush becoming the next Speaker of the House. “He could come back,” Sherman said. “Obviously, I’m not a real fan of how the Iraq War went, but I would think that any reasonable Republican would be somebody that Democrats could work with — if it was part of a system where you didn’t have five of the most extreme Republicans blocking important legislation and saying, ‘If you bring that to the floor for a vote, we’ll knock you out of your Speakership.’” Sherman said...

One of the American Civil War's most famous generals once lived on California's Central Coast and his home can still be visited. General William Tecumseh Sherman is best known for his "March To the Sea" where he marched from Atlanta to Savannah, destroying military targets, industry, infrastructure, and civilian property. The march was pivotal in ending the war and forcing the Confederacy to surrender. Before Sherman was fighting on the east coast and leading to the defeat of the traitorous Confederacy, he was stationed in Monterey and lived at the now-named Sherman Quarter, on Calle Principal, a block away from...

The Legio X Fretensis “Tenth legion of the Strait”, was a legion of the Imperial Roman army formed around 41/40 BC. The legion was centrally involved in the Great Jewish Revolt (AD 66–73), the first of three major rebellions by the Jews against the Roman Empire. Around AD 70, most of Roman rule was restored in Judea except for several fortresses and Jerusalem. The city was placed under siege by the X Fretensis, in conjunction with the V Macedonica, XII Fulminata, and XV Apollinaris. After several battles, Jerusalem and the Second Temple was destroyed, with contemporary historian, Titus Flavius Josephus,...

On Friday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) said that electric vehicles in California can still be charged for eight hours a day and argued California’s recent ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 is a boost to national security because “if we produce oil, we’ll be able to export it to countries that would otherwise be dependent upon Russia and Iran.” Sherman said, “The fact is that electric vehicles’ charge can be 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. That’s not when we’re going to have a blackout. That’s when other demand is down. Electric...

At the time of the deaths of Barry and Honey Sherman on December 15th, 2017, Mr. Sherman was in the process of being investigated by the Federal Government Lobbying Commission. At the centre of these investigations were events such as a Liberal party fundraiser Sherman hosted at his home in August, 2015. The guest of honour at the event was Justin Trudeau, who at this time was the Liberal candidate for prime minister. The legal issue at hand was whether or not Mr. Sherman had breached the Lobbyists’ Code of Conduct. At the time of the deaths, Barry Sherman was...

On May 23 and 24, 1865, before the soldiers were mustered out of the Union Army, a Grand Review of the Armies was held in Washington, D.C., to honor the victorious troops. President Andrew Johnson also hoped to elevate the mood of a city that was devastated by the loss of President Abraham Lincoln. Over two hundred thousand soldiers marched from the Capitol to the White House before the largest crowds ever seen in that city. In a letter to Anna, Edwards estimated the number of spectators to be around fifty thousand. [SNIP] On the second day, General William T....

On December 15, 2017, billionaire couple Honey and Barry Sherman were found strangled in their Toronto mansion. The murders are unsolved and there are no definite suspects, despite a $10 million reward offered by their family. The President is also a billionaire. After the Secret Service debacles during the Obama 44 administrations, in which agents were found to be intoxicated and involved with professional sex workers while on duty in various Latin American locations, who guarantees that the President's security isn't compromised by the Deep State Sedition? And how do various billionaire oligarchs who engage in risky behavior obtain protection?...

If — and it's a big if — the 49ers win Super Bowl LIV, would they accept an invitation to the White House? Nick Bosa likely would. Bosa has been an enthusiastic supporter of President Trump in the past, calling him the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). But what about other 49ers, say the cerebral Richard Sherman, for example? Taking a stand on a potential White House invitation before one wins a championship is like counting unhatched chickens. Nonetheless, the San Francisco Chronicle's Scott Ostler posed the question to the Niners' star cornerback. "I haven’t thought about it," Sherman replied,...

"I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the City of Savannah, with one hundred and fifty heavy guns and plenty of ammunition and about twenty-five thousand bales of cotton." General William T. Sherman's "March to the Sea" was over. During the campaign General Sherman had made good on his promise d “to make Georgia howl”. Atlanta was a smoldering ruin, Savannah was in Union hands, closing one of the last large ports to Confederate blockade runners. Sherman’s Army wrecked 300 miles of railroad and numerous bridges and miles of telegraph lines. It seized 5,000 horses, 4,000 mules, and...

A US Representative is urging his colleagues to join him in implementing a nationwide US ban on cryptocurrencies. This cryptocurrency-averse stance comes as the Representative fears that cryptocurrency could replace the US dollar if not immediately curbed. Sherman: ”Cryptocurrencies are only useful for criminals” Specifically, the Congressman in question is the notoriously Bitcoin-averse California Democrat Representative Brad Sherman (D). He made these recent comments during a meeting of the House Financial Services Committee on May 9th. Sherman argued that a US ban on cryptocurrencies is necessary in order to counter, what Sherman claims, are cryptocurrency-specific hazardous effects. Moreover, Sherman made...

House Democrats will hear from former CIA Director John Brennan about the situation in Iran, inviting him to speak next week amid heightened concerns over the Trump administration’s sudden moves in the region. Brennan, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, is scheduled to talk to House Democrats at a private weekly caucus meeting Tuesday, according to a Democratic aide and another person familiar with the private meeting. Both were granted anonymity to discuss the meeting. The invitation to Brennan and Wendy Sherman, a former State Department official and top negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal, offers counterprogramming to the...

A new facility in North Texas is starting up its production line for some of the technology that powers the Apple iPhone X's latest features. Silicon Valley-based Finisar has hired 200 people and begun operations at a new plant in Sherman, a city about 65 miles north of Dallas.

Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins called Jerry Jones a “bully.” 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman was not as kind. “The owner of the Dallas Cowboys, with the old plantation mentality,” Sherman told Jarrett Bell of USA Today. “What did you expect?” Jones declared last week that the Cowboys would require their players to stand for the national anthem “toes on the line.” The NFL since has instructed Jones to quit talking about the anthem as it negotiates a new policy with the NFLPA.

Bush administration faces wide choices, none guaranteed to offset nuclear threat By BARRY SCHWEIDThe Associated Press12/25/02 1:28 AM WASHINGTON (AP) -- North Korea's decision to abandon its policy of nuclear restraint leaves the Bush administration with a range of options, none of which is guaranteed to stem the threat from Pyongyang. Distracted by its fixation on Iraq and that country's suspected caches of biological and chemical weapons, the administration is trying to regroup and sort out its choices on the escalating North Korea crisis. They range from a U.S. military attack to full-fledged unconditional negotiations. Top administration officials are signaling...
