Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer pleads guilty to Capitol Riot charges
As some of you may know, I’ve been a big fan of heavy metal band Iced Earth. I was a fan of theirs for over 20 years. I knew the band’s founder Jon Schaffer was a conservative and a conspiracy theorist, but I didn’t let it bother me because his views weren’t reflected in most…

Texans lose their minds over military exercise Jade Helm 15
Almost around this time last year, I posted about how not only were the conspiracy nuts taking over but they were now dictating public policy. In that year it’s gotten significantly worse. The U.S. military is about to undertake something that it’s done since the beginning of when this country had a military, military exercises.…
