In a stunning move, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton bucked the Supreme Court and declared that county clerks have the right to refuse to perform a same-sex marriage if they have a religious objection to doing so.

This legal opinion comes after the Supreme Court controverted the decisions of a majority of state governments and their citizens and imposed gay marriage on the entire country, offering little to no protection to Christians and others who may have sincere, faith-based objections to the practice.

While the signs are all around us and as clear as day to those paying attention, a large portion of our population, like that of Germany in the 1930's.

Any sensible person who takes the time to review the evidence must conclude that we are no longer living in a Constitutional Republic. We are, by all accounts, living in a modern day Police State influenced by corporate agendas, the almighty dollar, and the desire for power and control. It's happening right before our eyes - just as it has happened so many times throughout history.

The NPR claims the most common job in 29 of 50 US states is truck driving. This seems a bit overboard, and depends on how jobs are categorized, but here is the chart.

It should be clear at a glance just how dependent the American economy is on truck drivers. According to the American Trucker Association, there are 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the US, and an additional 5.2 million people employed within the truck-driving industry who don't drive the trucks. That's 8.7 million trucking-related jobs.

The company's principals, Jasjit Walia and Preet Randhawa were also named in the lawsuit.

The Senate struggled to prevent an interruption in critical government surveillance programs early Saturday, rejecting both a House-passed bill and a short-term extension of the USA Patriot Act.

The White House has pressured the Senate to back the House bill, which would end the National Security Agency's bulk collection of domestic phone records. Instead, the records would remain with telephone companies subject to a case-by-case review. The vote was 57-42, short of the 60-vote threshold to move ahead.

IT'S OFFICIAL: JOHN Deere and General Motors want to eviscerate the notion of ownership. Sure, we pay for their vehicles. But we don't own them. Not according to their corporate lawyers, anyway.

In a particularly spectacular display of corporate delusion, John Deere-the world's largest agricultural machinery maker - told the Copyright Office that farmers don't own their tractors. Because computer code snakes through the DNA of modern tractors, farmers receive "an implied license for the life of the vehicle to operate the vehicle." It's John Deere's tractor, folks. You're just driving it. Several manufacturers recently submitted similar comments to the Copyright Office under an inquiry into the Digital Millennium Copyright Act . DMCA is a vast 1998 copyright law that (among other things) governs the blurry line between software and hardware. The Copyright Office, after reading the comments and holding a hearing , will decide in July which high-tech devices we can modify, hack, and repair-and decide whether John Deere's twisted vision of ownership will become a reality.

Between December 17-20, 2014, measles arrived at the happiest place on earth and all hell broke loose. Anti-vaxxers were shamed and maligned by everyone from Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel to Dr. Richard Pan.

According to the California Department of Public Health's latest measles surveillance report (3/6/15), since December of 2014, there have been 132 confirmed measles cases reported in California residents out of a population of 38.8 million. 40 cases visited Disneyland during the period in question. 81% were not hospitalized. 56% were over the age of twenty. 18% were between the ages of five to nineteen. 19 cases were between the ages of one through four. 15 cases were under the age of one. This affected exactly 34 kids from birth to age four. Since the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in December of 2012, there have been 109 school shootings and no legislation. There is no measles epidemic. There is, however, an epidemic of vaccine legislation.

Enjoy working on your car or having it repaired by independent mechanics? Car companies are using copyright law to try and prohibit those activities.

In comments filed with a federal agency that will determine whether tinkering with a car constitutes a copyright violation, OEMs and their main lobbying organization say cars have become too complex and dangerous for consumers and third parties to handle.

Whilst we are being distracted with our favorite sports team, program or the latest celebrity gossip the wall is being pulled over our eyes greatly. Ladies and gentlemen, Agenda 21 is coming and let's not be fooled by the flowery plan.

Agenda 21, everyone, will unknowingly look a little something like this: An end to national sovereignty, State planning and management to all land resources, ecosystems, deserts, forests, mountains, oceans and fresh water; agriculture, rural development, biotechnology and ensuring 'equity'. The state is to define the role of business and financial resources, Abolition of private property (it's not sustainable they say), Restructuring the family unit, Children to be raised by the state, People told what their job will be, Major restrictions on movement, creation of human settlement zones, Mass resettlement as people are forced to vacate land where they live, Dumbing down education Mass global depopulation Obviously these facts are not clear and factual to the public as they are hiding it, well. And how are they hiding it? By setting up Agenda 21 organisations all over the world in local communities by giving the impression that each of them is a independent local community enterprise when it's all being controlled by the big boys.
