Again people are discussing, arguing, fighting, yelling about "mass murder"; in Charleston this time. Will this time be the time we take the discussion further- towards action?

Rachel Dolezal
The head of the Spokane, Washington branch of the National Association for Colored People (NAACP) has been outed by her parents – ethnicity-wise. They say that their daughter, despite apparently presumed to be African American, actually is the product of a variety of European ethnicities.

In Guadalajara, Mexico, recently, there was a huge competition among cheerleading groups. One contingent, including 24 young ladies and one young man, displayed a routine representing the drilling of a Nazi military unit. They wore fatigues with arm bands, and carried flags containing the Swastika emblem. One of the girls, it was reported, seemed to give the Heil-Hitler salute to the audience. When this was displayed on YouTube, the competition organizers were surprised by the backlash, and promised to monitor future entrants more carefully. They gave assurances that the routine was innocent, and that there was not much of a Neo-Nazi movement in Mexico. OK, that's all well and good, but what about the Zimmerman Telegram/Letter/Note? Sure, it was a long time ago, but Mexico is an ancient culture, and things move slowly.

Carol Ann and Thomas Person today
The State of North Carolina recently passed a law that is destined to die a humiliating death before the U.S. Supreme Court. Incredibly, this law leaves the decision as to who may be licensed to marry up to the sincerely held religious beliefs of the Registrar of Deeds, who issues licences, and the Magistrate, who performs ceremonies! This bizarre piece of legal skullduggery was concocted in an oddly cynical attempt to thwart same-sex marriage. It is not practical even to consider that the legislature and the governor are not aware of the screamingly obvious unconstitutionality of their actions. Nevertheless, they seem to be taking particular glee in their misconceived, puerile game of fools – until its eventual, inevitable, dénouement, which will surprise no one – least of all, they, themselves. But—this little game of faux, legal homophobia has resulted in the release of a ghost from the past that even the legislature and the governor, quite unexpectedly (perhaps) did not contemplate: This law could again prevent marriage by mixed-race, opposite-sex couples!

ISIS (What a project)
Do these ISIS fellas, and I use the term "fellas" purposely, as I don't see any females anywhere, just a bunch of guys wearing face masks when they are on tv, think they are making positive points?

There are simple things in a place that mark the difference. I live in a country which has a government with a very low level in performance, due to the lack of key elements, such as values toward the society, which affects the rest. This scenario makes everything look cumbersome.
Currently, we are living the frikiest time of our political history, affecting the rest of aspects in the country: social, economics, etc. We don’t understand why we haven’t been able to set ourselves free from this situation after 16 years, and the only conclusion that I can come up with is there are foreign elements who/which don’t want us free. Who or which are those factors?

No, it is not that Ireland has kicked the Catholic Church out of the country – just out of its quotidian affairs. With an overwhelming margin, the Republic of Ireland has voted to amend its constitution, allowing for same-sex marriage. As the first nation to do this, it is even more remarkable that it was accomplished so decisively. That is as neat a repudiation of Vatican meddling as can be imagined.

Is President Barack Hussein Obama currently in the process of violating the posse comitatus provisions by planning a punitive takeover of the politically obstinate State of Texas? Hate-warped, conspiracy-filled inquiring minds want to know.
The United States military forces currently are conducting wide-ranging, multi-state maneuvers that include the state of Texas. Apparently, the plans for Operation Jade Helm 15 have been leaked to conspiracy-theory-sensitive ears in the former Republic of Texas. The resulting rumor-mills have been cranking out scenarios that would be appropriate grist for a pre-apocalyptic, Hollywood blockbuster:
