Mike FawkesWriter for QTA! The theory that women are paid less than men for the same job has disproven time and time again. But the debate about it's existence continues. But maybe we should look to our children to ask what they think of the wage gap.

In emergency situation it should be your top priority to keep you and your family safe. Whether that emergency is an EMP, earthquake, tornado, or a Clinton presidency, it is always important to be prepared. Welcome to Mike Fawkes' Question The Answer! guide to go-bags! By Mike Fawkes It seems the tides have turned this election season with the newly released DNC emails from Wikileaks. Emails which entail targeting the Sanders campaign. These threats to the Sanders campaign have created a revolt toward the Democratic National Convention this weekend. Source: gunshowtees.com
By Mike Fawkes For many years Christians have championed the pro-life movement. Atheists on the other hand aren't well known for promoting conservative beliefs. However, the videos you'll see today show both stances on abortion, and how they come together in agreement. The first video shows the moral and ethical reasons for opposing abortion, and the second video demonstrates the scientific reasons for holding the pro-life position.

By Mike Fawkes As reported by The Daily Caller Wikileaks has released close to 20,000 emails from the DNC. The emails are dated between the beginning of 2015 and May 25th of 2016. Julian Assange, editor in chief of Wikileaks, is calling the release of the 20,000 DNC emails the first installment of what he dubs the "Hillary Leaks." Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chair of the DNC, did acknowledge to the press that the DNC's systems were hacked. The Daily Caller reports the following accounts that have hacked so far: "The emails come from the accounts of seven DNC officials: communications director Luis Miranda, national finance director Jordon Kaplan, finance chief of staff Scott Comer, finance director of data and strategic initiatives Daniel Parrish, finance director Allen Zachary, senior advisor Andrew Wright and Northern California Finance Director and the finance director for northern California, Robert Stowe."

By Mike Fawkes From the first time I saw the trailer for Dinesh D'souza's newest movie, Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, I became immediately excited to see this film. And D'souza does not disappoint. D'souza presents a very informative film on an entertaining platform, with well deserved cinematographic merit. If you understand the value of America and Western-ism, you'll greatly appreciate this film. If you don't understand the gifts of the Western world, you'll understand after seeing this film. Who are these Democrats? Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party names name's. Overall, this film deserves 4.5 out of 5 stars, and two thumbs up!

By Mike Fawkes It was just Thursday night, 6/21/2016, that the Conservative Libertarian, Alex Jones, and staunch Liberal, Cenk Uygur, got into a bit of a scuffle on the Young Turks set at the RNC. Alex Jones claims that The Young Turks invited him onto their show, and then was attacked and harassed by Cenk and The Young Turks. Cenk claims that Alex Jones came uninvited and was ruining The Young Turks' program. So what are the facts? First we'll go to the video of the explanation from both sides, and go through every fact they bring up. At 2:11 on the Alex Jones video, and on 1:29 on the Young Turks video, Cenk claims that Donald Trump is in court papers for rape. At 1:51 in The Young Turks response video Cenk specifies that in court papers Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's first wife, was raped by Donald Trump. This fact he brings up possibly holds some merit. The Daily Beast wrote an article about Ivana Trump being raped by Donald Trump. The based the act of Donald's rape from a book called "Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump" by Harry Hurt III. However, Ivana told CNN: "I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald. The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president," However, some could argue that Ivana's statement was possibly controlled, due to the fact that The Daily Beast reported that in the Ivana and Donald's divorce filings that there was a gag order placed on Ivana, stating that Ivana can't talk about Donald unless he she receives his permission. But as the current stories goes to show Ivana said she was not raped in "a literal or criminal sense", according to the Independent . But why was Cenk even talking about Trump's rape allegations from the 1990's? At 1:53 in the Alex Jones video, and at 1:09 in the Young Turks video, Alex Jones holds up a t-shirt of Bill Clinton with the words 'RAPE' underneath the former president's face. Essentially implying that Bill Clinton is a rapist. According to Heavy the women raped or sexually harassed by Bill Clinton are: Juanita Broaddrick, Katheen Willey, Paula Jones, Sandra Allen James, Eileen Wellstone, Christy Zercher, Carolyn Moffet, Helen Dowdy, Becky Brown, and Regina Blakely Hopper. And according to The Hill Hillary Clinton tried to silence Juanita Broaddrick. Now to the next fact. At 2:25 in the Alex Jones video, and at 1:41 in The Young Turks video, Roger Stone claims that Cenk "assaults [him] all the time but nevers gives [him] a chance to respond." Which I cannot confirm or deny. Now at 2:36 in the Alex Jones video, and 1:52 in The Young Turks video, Cenk claims that Roger stone admitted to lying about Eliot Spitzer. Now I could not find any article or video of Roger Stone admitting to lying about Eliot Spitzer. The only I could find close to that was an Atlantic article calling him a liar, and a New Yorker article titled 'The Dirty Trickster.' At 3:08 in the Alex Jones video, and 2:25 in The Young Turks video, Cenk claims that Roger Stone is the biggest liar in media. When you search 'Roger Stone biggest liar in media' you would most likely get a mediamatters.org article. No where in there does it mention he is a liar. However, with any smear story coming from mediamatters.org there could very well be a conflict of interest, due to their close connections with the White House, according to The Daily Caller. Although it is incoherent in the Alex Jones video at around 2:53 in The Young Turks video Alex make the claim that The Young Turks receive funding from the Saudis. I could not find anything concerninng funding from Saudi Arabia to The Young Turks, but it seems Alex's demeanor was facetious. Soon after Jones made the allegation Cenk made the comment that The Young Turks talk frequently of Saudi Arabia. When looking through all the video uploaded to YouTube by The Young Turks in the past three months only one video was found concerning Saudi Arabia. After the commotion Alex Jones claimed that somebody spit in his face. Even infowars reporter Kit Daniels claimed that he was pushed and spat on (see 1:21 on Alex Jones response video). In the original footage you can't tell if he was spat on or not. But in a video uploaded by the New American media it is very clear the Jimmy Dore spat on Alex Jones, according to Breitbart. Next in the Alex Jones response video, Alex explains that he was asked to go up onto the stage for an interview with The Young Turks, The Young Turks Have denied this. But I cannot confirm or deny if Alex was asked to go up there. It could've a troll at the RNC trying to stir up controversy for the fun of it. The rest of response videos basically just include personal attacks and the hosts bragging about their ratings. Which is next on the chopping block. THE NUMBERS: CENK UYGUR VS. ALEX JONES Both hosts claim they have massive audiences and need each other on their shows to have ratings. But what the real numbers? If you enter The Young Turks and Infowars into Google Trends you'll get a graph that looks like this: (Blue representing The Young Turks and red representing infowars) And if you compare the host's names you get this graph: (again blue = Cenk, red = Alex Jones) But these charts are purely out of how much those terms are searched for on Google. But let's look at how many views their sites recieve. If type in 'tytnetwork.com' in to quantcast.com you get a graph that looks like this: And if you enter 'infowars.com' into quantcast.com you get a chart that looks like this: Between these two Quantcast charts, infowars.com has 7,053,300 more unique website views than The Young Turks' website. But what about their YouTube numbers? If you go to statsheep.com and compare the two channels you'll find a comparison chart that looks like this: And a differences chart like this: In Conclusion these are just the facts I have found. I do not expect and do not want this to be the 'end all be all,' that's why I encourage whoever is reading this to do your own research and come up with your own conclusions. UPDATE: Infowars have released three new videos discussing their views on the Cenk and Jones situation. Please share this blog, website, and podcast with at least one other person.

By Mike Fawkes Legislation that has been praised as "common sense legislation that does not hurt anyone." has been passed in Hawaii to place gun-owners on a FBI database known as "Rap-Back". The purpose of the database is to alert police and the FBI of when a gun-owner is registered with the system."This bill, it doesn't even say your gun will automatically be taken away, it just means local police will be notified," said Senator Will Espero. But this new database is just a beta test on to see who has guns in order who the government should trust or not to trust. The law even includes tourists who travel with guns to Hawaii to register with the database. In light of the recent, but brief, sit-in of the House of Representatives occupied by Democratic leaders and John Lewis saying that the him and his party must remain vigilant against gun violence, by applying more "common sense" restrictions.

By Mike Fawkes An outspoken gun-control advocate, a Bernie Sanders supporter, and a woman who has been described by townhall.com as "the definitive caricature of the raving socialist who brims with "compassion"", has criticized Hillary Clinton's foreign policy in an interview with The Young Turks. In the interview the actress said Hillary's foreign policy is dangerous compared to that of Donald Trump's. “She did not learn from Iraq, and she is an interventionist, and she has done horrible things, and very callously, I don’t know if she is overcompensating or what her trip is. I think we’ll be in Iran in two seconds.” Now the key word to take from this sentence is 'interventionist', a word most commonly left out of leftist debates on foreign policy. In fact 'interventionist' was a word popularized very much by Ron Paul during his '08 and 2012 campaign runs. Could we be witnessing the rising defiance of Hillary Clinton from Hollywood?

Sources: dailycaller.com, townhall.com, aceshowbiz.com By Mike Fawkes Norman Lear a man who has lit up, and greatly influenced, our television sets, has recently compared Donald Trump to a real life Archie Bunker. Archie Bunker as in the conservative bigot from the hit television show 'All in the Family'. Mr. Lear also stated that it should be bipartisan agreement that a Donald Trump presidency is bad for America. Some might expect comments like this from Mr. Lear, considering his liberal background and portrayal of conservatives on television, but some might think he would totally oppose Donald Trump, due to Mr. Lear's comments on politically correct television and Donald Trump's tirade against political correctness. Norman Lear's anti-p.c. sentiments were expressed several months ago on Rough Draft, a program hosted by Reza Aslan. In his interview with Aslan he said: “I don’t think the narrow point of view serves the American people well," But it seems he has backtracked his statements by saying we live in the "Golden Age" of TV. It almost seems the establishment has Mr. Lear by the collar on a short rope. Please share this blog, website, and podcast with at least one other person.

Sources: Politico.com, Breitbart.com, Entertainment Weekly By Cinneye Sage From Wednesday to today a kid from Powers-Ginsburg Elementary School wore a hat he bought from a Trump rally last week, the hat quotes "Make America Great Again". Logan Autry, the third grader in question was wearing his hat when he was approached by the vice principal who told him to take the hat off. "And I said,"no" a few times and the principle told me again and, I still said,"no"and refused." Logan quoted. Apparently Logan has been closely watching the campaign and is very informed of the goals of Trump, he claims that if Hillary or Bernie get elected that we wont have our amendments at all. Logan claims that Trump speaks like a regular person and not a politician, he met Trump at the rally, got to touch his hair, and had his hat signed. School officials claim to be worried about Logan and, the other kids safety, given what has happened to many of the Trump supporters and at the rallies. Logan continues to stand his ground and, will not wear any other hat. Please share this blog, website, and podcast with at least one other person.

And remember, if you are reading this, you are the revolution! links: Infowars.com, ABC30.com By Mike Fawkes Militia members and dozens of other citizens took over the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The takeover of the refuge was preceded by a protest over two ranchers who were accused of arson by the government. The two ranchers, Dwight and Steven Hammond, set fire to invasive plants to prevent the plants from getting to close to their ranch and potentially causing wild fires. So how did militia members get tied up in this? You can look to none other than Ammon Bundy, son of Cliven Bundy. If you remember back about two years ago, Cliven Bundy, his family, friends, militia members and other arm-bearing citizens had a standoff with the government over grazing rights. (The videos below will give you insight on the Bundy Ranch standoff.) In a video on facebook, Made by Ammond, he asked for militia members to rally around their cause to protest the accusations of arson given to the Hammond ranchers. In the video, Ammond stated: "(asterisk)(asterisk)ALL PATRIOTS ITS TIME TO STAND UP NOT STAND DOWN!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! COME PREPARED." Ammond Bundy has said that he plans to stay in the refuge indefinitely. He said he'll even stay in their for years, if necessary. He even told his father that he intends on staying for a long time. So far they haven't come out or surrendered to the govenment, and so far it's Bundy: 1, U.S. Government: 0.

During a raid on the city of Lahore, earlier this year, Pakistani law enforcement apprehended al Salafi, a leader of ISIS who's mission was to recruit young people to fight in Syria. Pakistani law enforcement later investigated al Salafi, along with two other people arrested in the raid, and found that al Salafi was funded through the U.S., according to the Daily Express.

i apologize for not posting recently I've been busy with school and other activities. Anyway on the subject of the immigrant crisis apparently ISIS has taken notice to their opportunity to sneak into Europe and recruit fighters. Germany has already arrested someone on the charge of being a terrorist according to a warrant out for a ISIS recruiter in Spain. This arrest occurred while a discovery of boxes of fake passports were found being smuggled into Germany, Bulgarian police found some going towards Germany. The passports are affordable to many of the migrants coming to Germany. ISIS has also revealed one more goal, to terrorize citizens so they ask the government for more strict rules and more protection which sounds an awful lot like what the US government is starting to do.

This article was originally published on antiwar.com, and it gives some interesting insight of both the militarization and anti-war sides of comic-books. The article mainly focuses on Grant Morrison, who has been proclaimed one of the greatest in the industry, and his views on war and the militarization of super-heroes. It is a very good and refreshing article to read, and I highly recommend you check it out. Read the full article here. Please share this blog, website, and podcast with at least one other person.

German schools advised parents not to have their female children wear shorts or skirts as to not affect the migrants coming from a muslim country, a letter was sent out to parents in June but only recently caught attention. This is apparently a new security measure to keep German civilians safe from any provoked attacks from muslims, and schools are also cracking down on racial and demoting remarks. Rape is also a fear for the German citizens as there have been multiple cases of unwilling sexual intercourse, one incident included a 7 year old girl and an African immigrant.

Recently i talked about Greece letting Russia use its air space for humanitarian aid, but Bulgaria has sided with the US on this issue and denied Russia its airspace. The US is saying that the Russian buildup in Syria is a bad thing and are trying their damnedest to slow them down, and the Bulgarians supposedly have reason to believe that the "humanitarian aid" going to Syria isn't exactly humanitarian. Some say that its only going to take one more incident to spark a war between the US and Russia, only over natural resources, instead of scrounging around on earth why don't we just try to develop a ship to get us to other planets?

Greece recieved a message from the US embassy asking for them to shut down their airspace from Russian transport planes carrying humanitarian aid to syria, Greece in turn denied their propisition. Recently Russia and Greece have been getting closer in friendship as they made a deal in June to create a Gas pipeline running through Greece that costs $2.27, so as to not shake their relations to Russia they refused to comply with the American request to deny airspace to Russia.

On the subject of Russia US has been monitoring a Russian research ship that hasa gotten relatively close to US nuclear sub base in Kings Bay, Georgia, apparently moving from the Atlantic Ocean near Canada down towards Cuba. Officials are worried that the ship is gathering information on underwater sensors and US waterborne defenses, submarine training patterns, and equipment. The Yantar (Russian research ship) is supposedly a new Russian military ship that might be fitted with sea surveillance subs capable of extreme depths, and equipment able to cut cables underwater.

Russia has admitted to sending support to Syria via training and hardware for the Syrian military, although there is no direct support from Russian troops but that option is not out of consideration said Vladimir Putin. There is a naval base in Tartus, Syria that is Russian and in November they sent a flotilla along with a aircraft carrier in a show of support for their ally Syria. The US claimed that Russia involvement and aid for the Syrian government will destroy and unhelpful. There are also reports of Russian troops fighting the rebellion with Syrian troops with pictures of armored trucks and drones flying over protectively.

Rand Paul speaks out against Donald Trump, saying you dont want a nominee who insults groups of different cultures and people, and that the immigrants can be helpful to our economy. Trump threw a comment back saying that he doesn't like that there are too many people in the GOP debates and that some should be removed (Rand Paul). Paul strikes back with the fact that he was the only candidate to speak out against Trump in the debate to rule out a third party.Please share this blog, website, and podcast with at least one other person.

Tension grows as Chinese military vessels appear in the Bearing Strait during a presidential visit to Alaska, five ships were sailing across the frozen waters, now they've began their journey homewards. It was an exercise following their holiday celebrating the defeat of Japan which included a march of military strength, in addition to this incident China has increased its defense budget, modernizing their defenses. This wasn't a surprise to most U.S. military commanders though, since the small rubber band of America and China continuously gets stretched farther and farther with each show of force. Its not threatening to our high ranking Navy commanders, but has concerned most allied countries in the south China sea and U.S. about the safety of their countries.Please share this blog, website, and podcast with at least one other person.

In a neighborhood in Columbia, Illinois a family consisting of two white parents and two adopted black children, to spread a message about BLM (Black Lives Matter) movement, they put up a BLM poster in their lawn. Someone decided to cover the black part with stickers saying "all" as in to say all lives matter, the family apparently seeing this as an act of vandalism put up more signs, in turn prompting the other to cut out the "black" part and cover up more of the stickers. The family tried to peacefully resolve this conflict by adding a note to their sign saying that if anyone had a problem with it, that they can quietly discuss it with the family. An officer showed up to take a report and was surprisingly concerned about this matter, the police now are taking an extreme amount of time and energy to find the one who continues to vandalize these signs.
