A month ago, I highlighted the explosive growthin privacy focused search engine DuckDuckGo. At the time, I also stated that I would start using it for my searches to see how it goes. Well I am very pleased to report that I have now successfully conditioned myself to use this search engine for about 90% of my online queries, and I have found the results to be excellent. It appears I am not the only one, as according to website information hub Alexa, DuckDuckGo’s performance has continued to go parabolic.

A Potential Cure For Alzheimer’s?
The accumulation of a specific protein in the aging brain may be the cause of numerous devastating neurodegenerative diseases – most notably Alzheimer’s disease.
But it’s not amyloids – the proteins that most health experts blame for the brain-wasting condition. It’s an entirely new culprit.

How Textbooks Push Children to the Left
Although even the leftist teachers claim not to like this textbook used in U.S. history (a one-year course required in NYC for all juniors) because it is so skimpy on facts and is written in an opaque style, any informed reader would have to agree that it is one of the most politically correct textbooks one could imagine. Reading this book, one gets the message that the history of America is a theme of victimization. The list of victims is well known: Native Americans, women, labor, immigrants, blacks, farmers, urban dwellers, the mentally ill, migrant workers, unions, etc. “The Americans” is a somewhat diluted version of Howard Zinn’s openly communist college textbook, “A People’s History of the United States.” It is also worth adding that this reference to Zinn’s “communism” is not putting labels on anyone, and is not a McCarthy-like type of red-baiting of an innocent individual; Zinn openly announced his communism decades ago when he taught at Boston University.

E.W. Jackson Calls Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton 'Idiots'
Speaking before a crowd of Republicans in Williamsburg Thursday, E.W. Jackson, the GOP candidate for lieutenant governor, narrowed in on race issues and lashed out against President Barack Obama and two prominent civil rights leaders, accusing them of dividing the country.
“I believe we can transcend some of these racial lines, of course we have to stop listening to idiots like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton,” Jackson said at the Colonial Area Republican Men’s Association monthly luncheon.
“Maybe I shouldn’t call them idiots, misguided might be a better word,” Jackson quickly added. “They want to divide us; they want to turn everything into a racial issue. I think the American people so desperately want to get past that. But it’s so hard when you got leadership that uses every opportunity and try to divide us.”

Another Media Ship Is Going Down
Another media ship is going down. Break out the champagne.
The big-3 Sunday morning news shows are basically politicians talking through the screen to their colleagues in Georgetown. Gibberish from idiots to other idiots.
In so far as the shows reach the general viewing public…
The unspoken premise of This Week, Meet the Press, and Face the Nation goes like this: Given the fact that America is making constant war to expand the imperial corporate empire, the military industrial complex is suffering a hernia from carrying so much money, multiple agencies are spying on everybody all the time, the medical system in America is killing 2.25 million people per decade, millions of acres of untested GMO food plus Roundup are a runaway health disaster, the Fed Reserve is a private banking monopoly posing as a government agency, the Mexican border is a sieve for the Sinaloa Cartel to kick off their Washington-approved drug routes to a distribution hub called Chicago, only “the cops and thugs should have guns,” the government-sponsored mental-health monopoly called psychiatry is destroying the brains of countless numbers of children, vaccines are filled with toxic ingredients, the federal government is pouring wet cement on the Constitution every hour of every day, more people are using food stamps than are working, our children are learning how to become little robots in school, the free and independent individual is an anathema, television is brainwashing 300 million people, and all presidents are vetted to ensure they’ll support a Globalist planet…NONE OF WHICH WE’LL TOUCH ON IN THE NEXT HOUR…
WHAT’S NEW THIS WEEK?

As 911 Anniversary Nears, Bikers Ride To Remember
Just after sunrise, a roar of engines shook the ground. One thousand motorcycles lined up in neat rows in the Pentagon's north parking lot. Attached to nearly every bike was an American flag.
Richard Betz's handlebars were decorated with the annual ride bracelets from years past. "I believe very much in the firefighters and the police and the military in this country. I'm here to support them," he says. "I don't think we can do enough for them."

SAUERBREY: The Durbin Inquisition
Intimidation tactics should be beneath a senator
How does a conservative group know it is doing something right? It’s a pretty good clue when a heavy-handed leftist U.S. senator attempts to intimidate its supporters.
Sen. Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, has sent a chilling letter to some 300 organizations and individuals who are suspected of having supported the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) at any time since 2005.
The Durbin letter asks the recipients if they have served as a member of ALEC or provided any funding to ALEC in 2013. It also asks if the recipient supports “stand your ground” self-defense legislation that was promoted by ALEC a number of years ago. The letter demands a response by Sept. 1, for the purpose of a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

TEXAS ‘GARDEN OF EDEN’ OWNER CLAIMS SWAT RAIDED HER PROPERTY UNDER ‘GUISE’ OF A DRUG BUST AND TOOK 20,420 POUNDS OF MATERIAL
The owner of sustainable farm in Texas claims a SWAT team came onto her property “under the guise that we were doing a drug trafficking, marijuana-growing operation” and ended up taking more than 20,000 pounds of material and allegedly violated personal rights, according to WFAA-TV.

The weeds that we used to shade our crops are also gone,” owner of the Garden of Eden Shellie Smith told WFAA of the scene after authorities came through.

Does Your Community Need You?
Just days after seeing a recruiting poster in a Frederick sandwich shop, Derek White became a member of the New Market Fire Co.
For years the 26-year-old had longed to be a firefighter. He applied for a position in Salisbury and, after pursuing the job for several months, he was turned down.
"I had lost all hope," he said in a recent interview.
So his expectations were low when in December he saw the poster at Firehouse Subs. He half-jokingly filled out an application. Much to his surprise, he received a call the next day.

White House Report: Power Outages Expected To Increase, Get More Expensive
Marylanders know the headaches that come with prolonged power outages, and now, a White House report warns there could be more to come. It says severe weather is the number-one cause of power outages in the United States, costing the nation an average of $18 billion to $33 billion a year. The Obama administration says it wants to strengthen the power grid as climate change increases the intensity and severity of storms.
According to Josh Saks, legislative director for the National Wildlife Federation, new protections are critical.
"We've seen hurricanes in the past ten years push up through Annapolis and parts of Maryland," Saks recalled. "And I would say Maryland needs to continue to work towards resiliency, because climate change issues are only going to exacerbate."

A Huge Breath Of Fresh Air
Wow!!! A young man too smart for college simply because they cannot teach him anything.
This is a short video clip from NBC Rock Center with Brian Williams. It's about a now 19 year old in Nevada who is in process of changing how we use Nuclear Fusion. He has a vision of a pure fusion but is in process of building small reactors that will not fail and contaminate like our 50's style we use.
But if his mind finds a way for pure fusion, it may be our path way to the stars and beyond.
He is a prodigy and his brother is a math whiz. They have him working with a professor at a school for the exceptionally gifted who said, after working with him for awhile, he has never encountered a smarter person than this kid. yet he is so down to earth. But mathematics and the vision to see and understand it, is the gateway to the unknown.
Anyway. Thought some of you may enjoy watching this and dreaming of a better future.

Obama’s Little-Known Plan To Bypass Congress And Impose A New Fee On All Cellphone Users
A little-known White House proposal announced earlier this year could see a new federal fee imposed on all cellphone users — and without the approval of Congress.
The program, known as ConnectEd, aims to increase high-speed Internet access in schools, providing students with digital notebooks and teachers with the ability to customize lessons “like never before,” the Utah Standard-Examiner puts it.
