Texas Police Earn at Least $50 Million Annually From Seizing Property
144
TEXAS - December 7, 2018 Police and law enforcement agencies in Texas earned more than $50 million in 2017 from the confiscation of people's property. Officials call it the fight against crime, but in fact it turns out that crime is generated by the police, where money is obtained fraudulently. In February 2016, one such case occurred with the owner of a Chevrolet Silverado truck when Houston police had seized the vehicle after surveilling its driver, Macario Hernandez, and pulling him over after he left his house. They took the truck to court, hoping to keep it or sell...

Why Young Americans Are Giving Up on Capitalism

HOUSTON, TEXAS – December 5, 2018 If an enemy nation conquered and occupied the United States and determined, within a generation or two, to completely abolish American culture and turn its youth against their own country, it could not do a more thorough job than the combined devastation wrought by some within America’s education system, much of its news media, and its entertainment barons. The level of misinformation about America’s history, its role in the world, and its culture is extraordinary in its scope and in its utter defiance of reality. Many American students...

Bush, the 41st president of the United States (1989-1993), whose presidency soared with the coalition victory over Iraq in Kuwait, but then plummeted in the throes of a weak economy that led voters to turn him out of office after a single term, has died at 94.

Earlier this week, Trump authorized the military to use its rules of engagement, rather than those of domestic law e...

AUSTIN, TEXAS – November 14, 2018 Women fought for equality for a long time: for the right to property, for the right to elect and be elected, to have the possibility to build a career as men do. It seems that feminism has gone through all the stages: its peak was the sensational sexual revolution that broke out in the 1960s and gradually covered most of the globe. They finally got everything they had been fighting for since medieval times: mini-skirts, contraception, abortions, sex at will, the right not to shave her legs, and the opportunity to marry and divorce whoever...
