PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 3 Hours Ago SWAT Teams New Face Of Police Agencies – Militarization Of Law Enforcement Going Full Steam Ahead Jul 29, 2013 Infidel Alie Excerpted from  WND A key distinction between the U.S. and other nations, even relatively free nations, long has been American restrictions on domestic use of the military, for police actions, law enforcement and keeping things under control. However, when the local police officer or sheriff's deputy is equipped with night vision goggles, laser-scope rifles, electronic eavesdropping equipment and body armor and comes up a citizen's driveway in a military-type personnel carrier with shielded windows and oversize wheels, the prohibitions seem to lose some of their teeth.It's an issue on which WND has reported for more than a decade, and others now are taking note.

In states like Ohio, parents have the freedom to choose the curriculum with little oversight from the state, so it's natural to think that federal mandates will not affect home-educating families. Unfortunately, Common Core, if it continues to be adopted by states across the country, can and will trickle down into private schools and homeschools. Those of us who have had the experience of sending our kids to college know the importance of standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, especially for homeschoolers who sometimes lack other academic credentials that colleges require. While smaller, private schools often offer more flexibility and take the time to evaluate the entire academic and extracurricular records of ...

Monday, July 29th  Phony Scandals, False Crisis Every weekend, the Obama administration picks someone to go on the Sunday talk shows and spin the narrative. Some people are better at this than others – remember Dan Pfeiffer's “the law is irrelevant” fiasco a few months ago? This weekend, the chosen propagandist was none other than Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. His appearances made headlines for a few reasons. Lew told George Stephanopoulos that Republicans should avoid “false crisis” in reference to the upcoming budget battle. Notice that anything the Republicans try to do...
