This week, we take a deep-dive into one of last century's biggest, right-under-your-nose conspiracies. Beginning with President Obama's tap-dance
around no-nonsense terminology when it comes to violent, extremist Muslims, we follow-through with some really important, rarely referenced history.
Starting with Saudi Arabia's critical partnership with the US during World War II, we take some steps through the events of the 1970's and 1980's.
It's there, in that history, that we find the new term Obama should be using as a more accurate alternative...

NASA has discovered another Earth-like planet orbiting a nearby star within the habitable zone using the Kepler Space Telescope. Labeled as

I remember this as a child.

First off, please don't make this a partisan issue. Please don't say "but Bush..blah blah blah". This, to me, is major, dangerous, and makes me

I'll be honest, I watched the entire speech, and found it to be extremely powerful. I know many here will attack this speech...and that is their

I came across this article and all I can say is that if this is true, I guess they are all getting ready to bail out seeing the writing on the wall.

I love the fact that we were not the first hominids walking about planet earth.
I find it amazing that we Homo sapiens sapiens once walked around with a few types of hominid at the same time.
Plus the fact that we have found a new hominid recently which adds more to our family.

I felt it very important to write this.
Now i need to get one thing very clear. The idea of nazi thugs or bnp skinheads marching down the road on a saturday afternoon drinking cans of beer
shouting we hate muslims, is the kind of thing i am strongly against. So let me get that out of the way....

derogatory name coined during the Renaissance because those egotistical people thought they were smarter and better than the people living before
