Feel free to give it a read. The newspaper in question, not always the best, but in this situation they give a fair account of what’s going on. A nice, kindly older gentleman by the name of Robert Sinclair, a school crossing guard, has been [...]

We’ve all heard the hype. We’ve all seen the data. But, thanks to a group of hackers who raided British University of East Anglia’s ‘Climatic Research Unit’, there is a strong possibility that there are some dishonest people trying to elevate ‘climate change’ to a threat level beyond fact.

Barack Obama, commander-in-chief during a multi-country war, wins a Nobel prize for “peace”, while making decisions that will ultimately bring our nation further into a war posture.
Now, the wife of Japan’s Prime Minister is given an award for looking good in a pair of jeans. Well, at least she actually wore the jeans, and apparently [...]
