Mods, not sure where this one belongs, so feel free to give a new home! This just in from Ben Swann. "An ad in the local Penny Saver in Murrieta, California caught the attention of residents today. The ad, which was put up by the Crittenton Services and Foster Family Agency or (FFA) claims to be looking for families who will help provide homes for foster children as well as for “unaccompanied refugee minors”." Here is the add WOW! Seems like a pretty good deal to me! Sucks to be a tax paying citizen though when the current administration...

I hope that I have put this thread into the correct forum - if not MODS please move to where it belongs! Now before you get your panties in a twist let me explain. I do not take side with Palestine or with Israel but I have been watching the attacks from both sides for years. In this most recent skirmish over 100 deaths in Palestine...

Morning ATS. Here's my next addition to the Bigfoot saga where thinker thunker dives into IMAX's HD capture of something big chasing down caribou. I believe this footage first appeared a couple of years ago and the general consensus among skeptics was this was a crew member with a back pack. I encourage you to look again. It really...

YAY!! This is FABULOUS news!! "A large umbrella group of churches representing more than half a billion Christians worldwide announced Thursday that it would pull all of its investments in fossil fuels, saying it...

Another "law abiding gun owner" uses pre emptive self defense. Still need less gun laws? I guess this guy thought so too. I guess the pro gun crowd might say that he had every right to kill those children by virtue of him having a gun. Good job pro gun crowd, chalk this up as another win for...

A newly released email is showing Lois Lerner in fact was "warning" other IRS cohorts involved in the targeting scandal to be careful about what they write !!!! Not because of any legal or general ethical reasons of course. But to dodge potential exposures of...

I’ll begin by saying that I have nothing whatsoever against anyone smoking or otherwise ingesting marijuana. For me personally, I've never liked the experience so I have no real passion for it. The focus of this post came from the news about Washington State being the second in the union to legalize the stuff....

ISIS Is About to Destroy Biblical History in Iraq - See more at: "Soon afterward the minions of the self-appointed caliph of the freshly self-declared Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, paid a visit to the Mosul Museum. It has been closed for years for restoration, ever since it was...

I was adopted when I was 4 days old. I recently had the chance to be reunited with my birth mother and my younger sister. She has a son who is 8 years old. I just returned from a 4 day stay at her house in Texas because we all wanted to be together under the same roof and visit at least once in our lifetimes....

Just came across this on my FB feed. This is insane if true!! It was spotted near Kingston Ontario, in Lake Ontario. I thought sharks could only survive in salt water, but then I started reading up about the bull shark which apparently can survive in fresh water. I wonder how it could've gotten up there??...

*This thread will be an ongoing work, and will be added to as new thoughts arise. Prologue 1.Throughout the entire discourse and dialectic of humankind, there has never been an explicit philosophy of the body. Implicitly, however, every philosophy is the philosophy of the body, for every account, interpretation, argument, creation, and discussion...

I had a write up but I deleted it because I thought I saw an anomaly in the video. Quick summary, Something destroys a log against the tree. The anomaly seems to be a quick edit at 30 sec but I'm not sure what happens there.

Okay so to put this out first. I am an atheist who does not believe in anything paranormal. Same goes for my family including grand parents, cousins etc. Okay to set the scene this up on Dartmoor which...

Well 59 years and 7 months old. I am sharing this story with you all hoping that someone elses good fortune can offer a little hope to others. Eight months ago I moved away from the city to a small country town, I love being here and have no desire to return to suburbia in the near future to live, The chances of getting gainfull...

Same as the 'Meet God on a street corner' thread ... You are in Philadelphia walking on a sidewalk in the city and coming from the side street toward you is the Devil himself. The two of you come together on the street corner and look at each other. Before the street light...

For those who know me I have proudly served with honor as both soldier and police officer within the U.S. I am a U.S. American who lives abroad and I used to be proud of being an American but not anymore. NOT ANYMORE! "You can have it". The ENTIRE U.S. government needs to be taken down, its laws banished, the Constitution rewritten,...

You have all these bleeding hearts telling us that we are being 'mean' for not taking these disease ridden street urchins into our hearts but you tell them to take them into theirs and suddenly they go all NIMBY. What I noticed about the photo is all the graffiti on the walls. It's up as high as they can reach. White Tee shirt against the wall, oh...

Let’s face it. We are at war with one another. Maybe not through firearms or even greater weapons, but perhaps the greatest weapon of all, the mind. But weapons are being used to encourage others to change their mind. It...

As the title states, I wish to give you all a HUGE thank you for being there for me for the last few months. You all know who you are and a mere thank you is not enough. Many of you knew that my father had been seriously ill for the last 8 or 9 months. I have come here twice is search of on outlet and to ask for prayers, thoughts, or anything else you could give...

Things must be getting hot in DC. Seems like whenever there's opposition to his buddy or their plans to warp America the first thing he does is claim "racists!" If we were to believe this sorry excuse for an AG you'd think that KKK sympathizers were behind every rock and bush. Could it be that a great many people...
