The entire continent of Europe is in complete upheaval and revolution right now. Primarily, it is a war between the Haves and Have Not’s. 50% of European youth have never had a job, and the prospect of ever earning income is getting bleaker everyday. There are three groups. The Establishment is crumbling. They cannot control their populace. Law and order is not possible with so much of their population rioting against them. Their citizens fill their streets and that results in immense violence, burning, looting and destruction. Another group and the most frightening of all are the New Nazis. They are...

This is a quick post to tell you how to protect yourself and your personal information while using our Career Jobs Board. Recently I have received messages and emails about text messages being sent to those users who have submitted a resume to our Career Jobs Board. HirePatriots will NEVER send a text message, or call your cell phone. These are attempts at PHISHING. In case you are not aware of what that term actually means, PHISHING is an attempt to acquire personal information such as usernames, passwords, and even credit card details - to include money. These text message SCAMS...

One of the writers in my upcoming book: An American Crisis: Veterans' Unemployment is Seldom Graham, a WW II veteran. Yes, he is getting up there in years. But he is a veteran activist and his mind is still as sharp as a tack. He has been pushing for legislation in Texas for free public parking for cars with military and veteran licence plates.  Texas House Bill No. 1514 is to add World War II military license plates (Government Code Section 504.310 license plates) to the list of military license plates "exempt from the payment of a parking fee collected through a parking...

A recent article in Scientific American revealed that taking a nap or going to sleep after experiencing trauma will actually assist in embedding that trauma in to your brain and nervous system. This applies to PTSD and TBI. However, sleep deprivation disrupts the consolidation of traumatic memories.  Two groups of mice were studied after forcing them to endure trauma by smelling a predator’s scent. Afterwards, one group was allowed to sleep, while the other group had to remain awake for 6 hours. The mice that slept experienced obvious symptoms of PTSD, such as freezing and a heightened startle response. Whereas the...

In regards to my previous post about Drones, (http://hirepatriots.com/news-and-blogs/entry/drone-strikes-against-us-citizens-legal) here is an update. Senator Paul held a 13 hour filibuster in order to challenge US Attorney General Eric Holder's statement yesterday when Obama's selection declared that drone strikes will be allowed against US citizens, even without due legal process. "Hooray!" Paul responded when the letter was read to him for the first time during an interview with Fox News. "For 13 hours yesterday, we asked him that question, so there is a result and a victory. Under duress and under public humiliation, the White House will respond and do the right...

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. asked this question to Attorney General Eric Holder: “Does President Obama have the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial.” Our current Attorney General replied, “It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States,”  More briefly, he answered “Yes.” Before a dam bursts, it begins with a...

Good morning...Welcome to the United States of America !      True Story..... Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there long before they were... A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall. When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must have stung quite...

Senator Paul Rand is obviously a different kind of politician. He held a 13 hour filibuster in Congress after Attorney General  Eric Holder declared that drone strikes against American citizens would be legal, even without legal due process and any conviction. (http://hirepatriots.com/news-and-blogs/entry/drone-strikes-against-us-citizens-legal) In response, Paul said Thursday that "we're proud to announce that the president is not going to kill unarmed Americans on American soil." He later took to the floor to promote the attorney general's response, as the Senate moved to confirm Brennan.  Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/07/historic-filibuster-renews-bipartisan-focus-on-drones-regulation/#ixzz2MuDpTj9X  ...
