Muslim Woman Drops Truthbomb on Libs After Fox Asks What Country She Feels Safest In
Muslim activist Asra Nomani, who unlike most of her peers admits the existence of radical Islam, made an amazing though not necessarily shocking admission Friday that will no doubt displease both her peers and the radical left. “I feel more safe in this country than I do in any Muslim country in the world,” she boldly stated during an appearance on Fox News.

Russians plan exercise 83 times larger than in 2013, Baltic states show fear

U.S. NATO Supre Commander and Ret. four-star General Phillip Breedlove, 200,000 troops would be a “bit alarming,” especially when reports indicate that a large number of additional railcars have been ordered to help facilitate the exercise.

The FBI: The Silent Terror of the Fourth Reich
Following the second World War, the U.S. government recruited Hitler’s employees, adopted his protocols, embraced his mindset about law and order, implemented his tactics in incremental steps, and began to lay the foundations for the rise of the Fourth Reich.With every passing day, the United States government borrows yet another leaf from Nazi Germany’s playbook: Secret police. Secret courts. Secret government agencies. Surveillance. Censorship. Intimidation. Harassment. Torture. Brutality. Widespread corruption. Entrapment. Indoctrination. Indefinite detention. Just like the Gestapo, the FBI has vast resources, vast investigatory powers, and vast discretion to determine who is an enemy of the state.
