What have we done to our country? What have we done to America? How did we ever let it get to be this way?

The government is totally out of control. Our representatives regularly pass “laws” to eradicate or violate the fundamental rights of all Americans, in the name of furthering precisely what? Socialism, communism, the idea that everyone is entitled to have a good life handed to him on a silver platter, and that the American people are somehow obligated to pay for it… that’s what.

NEW YORK (PNN) - January 5, 2017 - From Battlestar Galactica to the Imperial Death Star, the world of fiction is rife with gargantuan spacecraft capable of supporting thousands of residents with their own personal quarters and facilities.

But for real astronauts, spaceflight is not quite so, well, spacious. Take the International Space Station (ISS), which is the largest spacefaring vessel ever built, as well as the most expensive single construction project in human history, costing the Fascist Police States of Amerika alone around $100 billion. Its first module was launched in November 1998, and its first long-duration crew, consisting of three people, arrived onboard two years later.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (PNN) - January 4, 2017 - Faraday Future staked its claim to the world’s fastest electric car with its FF91 production model, showing footage of it outracing Tesla Motors, Inc.’s Model S in a glitzy event in Las Vegas.

The startup electric-car maker backed by Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting is counting on its debut offering to drum up support from investors, many of whom had been invited to the Las Vegas presentation. The FF91 can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.39 seconds, according to the company. That compares with 2.5 seconds for Tesla’s Model S P100D in its fastest “Ludicrous” mode.

LUXEMBOURG CITY, Luxembourg (PNN) - January 3, 2017 - The fascist British government’s mass surveillance powers have been severely undermined by the European Union’s top court.

The new ruling could constrain terrorist pig thug cops and spy agency investigations. The judgment was handed down last month, in Luxembourg, where the European Court of Justice declared that general and indiscriminate data retention regarding people’s communications and whereabouts is inconsistent with privacy rights. The court stated that bulk storage of private data is highly invasive and exceeds the limits of necessity, therefore it can’t be justified within a democratic society.

LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - January 3, 2017 - Ain’t no such thing as half-way cooks,” is the remix of the classic hip-hop track Shook Ones Pt. II. This rapper from Queensbridge made a cooking book exclusively for inmates. The book contains instructions on how to make wine in your cell, which has led to a ban across the state of Kalifornia correctional facilities.

SILICON VALLEY, Kalifornia (PNN) - January 1, 2017 - Nothing may have had as bad of a year as the Internet.

The Internet was hit with an onslaught of criticism and suffered several setbacks in 2016: from relinquishment of Amerikan control over web address management, introduced surveillance measures in the Fascist United Kingdom, social media backlash for users’ hate speech and terrorist affiliations, to censorship and fake news.

Student makes excellent case against inflating university costs and flatlining incomes.

BOSTON, Massachusetts - December 28, 2016 - Pay to go to school, to get a job, to make money to pay off school. That logic is what prompts millions of young adults to enroll in a traditional university education each year. But that investment won’t pay off for everyone.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 3, 2017 - Donald Trump just can't seem to lose today. The President-elect scored two early victories with Ford announcing plans to keep a plant in the Fascist Police States of Amerika, a move they described as a "vote of confidence" in Trump, and the announcement that his nemesis at Fox News, Megyn Kelly, plans to move to NBC. Now, before he's even taken office, the Senate has started preparations for a repeal of illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama's single crowning piece of legislation: the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare.

RICHMOND, Virginia (PNN) - December 31, 2016 - A Virginia bill prefiled for the 2017 session would remove sales taxes from some purchases of gold and silver, a first step towards encouraging its regular use as currency and breaking the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money.

PARIS, France (PNN) - December 27, 2016 - On January 15, representatives from 70 different countries will gather in Paris, France, for an unprecedented global conference. The stated goal of this conference is to promote a “two-state solution” as the way that lasting peace will be brought to the Middle East. In Israel, there is a tremendous amount of concern that whatever is agreed upon at this conference will immediately be used as the basis for a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel and create a Palestinian state. But things would have to move very rapidly in order for that to happen, because illegitimate FPSA dictator President Barack Obama’s time in the White House comes to an end on January 20, and Donald Trump has already made it exceedingly clear that he would never support such a resolution.
