In this episode of Truth in Media, Ben Swann explores the origin of ISIS that has already been long forgotten by American media. Swann takes on the
central issue of whether or not ISIS was created by "inaction" by the United States government or by "direct" action.
“The name ISIS is one that every American knows,” Swann said “The biggest threat to our national security since Al-Qaeda, right? They are a
brutal, savage group known for public beheadings and mass executions. They are the face of the new war on terror.”
Swann pointed out that while the U.S. Military is currently conducting airstrikes in Syria,...
This discovery seems to be blowing up all my nerdy science sites, so I thought I would share it with you and see what your thoughts were.
I, myself, find it very intriguing.
"Researchers working in Ethiopia have unearthed the oldest human fossil ever, and the discovery could push back the origin of the Homo genus by
half a million years.
The lower jaw fossil has been described in two simultaneous papers published in Science today (here and here), and is helping to shed some light on
the mysterious origin of our human family in eastern Africa. The fossil, which...

I remember this as a child.
Years and years of "there is an ice age coming"
Then "climate change" silence for years
Followed by "global warming"
When scientists contradict each other within an easily remembered short period of time with their alarmism.
I just can't buy the...
Hillary Clinton's aides publicly stated that while she was Secretary of State, Clinton only used hdr22@clintonemail.com.
It's been widely accepted that hdr represents Hillary Diane Rodham, but the significance of the number 22 has remained speculative until now.

So google plans to add an algorithm that ranks websites according to the veracity of information provided. In theory it sounds good, in practice
however it could mean that google will be told what the truth is and what not, so anything that is not in line with the mainstream media (Reuters AP)

In doing Internet research for my other thread

If being gay is a choice as some would have us believe, then does that mean at some point in their life they were attracted to both sexes but chose to
like the opposite?
Is that not the premise of choosing to be gay or straight..attraction to both sexes but choosing the preference of the opposite while...

Apologies if already posted, but I did not see it anywhere. I usually dump all over these things, but this one at least *looks* interesting. Artifact?

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
prerogative, but, in the end, I think the Prime Minister made his case... and I believe it will definitely effect the national debate....
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.
They have done some very unpopular things lately. When people protest now,they get beat up,their pensions and wages have been cut in half,they...

In this case we have a little girl in Ontario that came down with symptoms of Measles. Shock, horror. In 1960 there were an estimated 3.5 million

Iran has apparently rejected the 10 year nuke deal.

The Iranian Foreign Minister said Obama spoke in "unacceptable and threatening" terms.

An ancient city of legend has been discovered after archaeologists conducted an aerial radar search after hearing persistent tales about a White City

exciting one.

Or perhaps that should be re-discovered, but anyway archaeologists have been excavating at the supposed site.

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.

Although I do believe that paranormal/supernatural 'things' do happen, I could easily be a scoffing skeptic - because I've never experienced anything
that didn't have a perfectly good explanation and as well, have never personally known anyone who experienced anything 'woo'...

Yes, we all have to tolerate each other and each others quirks, but there is no getting away from the fact that lots of things that other people do
can be irritating. That's just the way life is. This is my 'UGH!!" list. Feel free to add your own 'UGH!!" list. :)

- People biting their nails in front of others. GROSS.

Our continued problems with our "chat vendor" has come to a head, and I've removed the chat link from the menu, and disabled the chat service.

I'm getting tired of people accusing fundamentalist Muslims of not having evolved out of the Dark Ages. It isn't true. First off, the Dark Ages are a
