McDonald’s now hiring seniors because they actually show up for work.

OAK BROOK, Illinois (PNN) - April 29, 2019 - McDonald’s is teaming up with the AARP to recruit a fleet of mature workers to meet their employment needs. Taking aim at the over-50 set, the fast food giant is looking to fill an assortment of positions ranging from early-morning shift roles all the way up to management. The work ethic of older generations is well known and is undoubtedly a pleasant change from testy teenagers and surly twenty-somethings.

KIEV, Ukraine (PNN) - April 21, 2019 - According to exit polls, millions of voters - weary of war and economic hardship - have thoroughly rebuked the incumbent elites, overwhelmingly voting for 41-year-old TV comedian Volodymyr Zelenskii in Ukraine's presidential election today.

PARIS, France (PNN) - April 19, 2019 - After 22 weekends of protest, the Yellow Vest protests show no signs of slowing down. The movement has rocked the French government. The government has made major concessions but has also launched a brutal crackdown. After weeks of repression, terrorist pig thug cop violence, and mainstream-media smears, how have these protests lasted so long? spiked spoke to Édouard Husson, dean of the Institut Franco-Allemand at the Université de Cergy-Pontoise, to find out more.

LONDON, England (PNN) - April 18, 2019 - Support for the Tories is plunging following Prime Minister Theresa May’s latest Brexit can-kick (a six-month extension until Halloween), and as cross-party talks for a Brexit compromise stall, it appears Nigel Farage’s newly formed Brexit Party is emerging as the biggest winner from all the Brexit chaos.

Will meet with Putin.

PYONGYANG, North Korea (PNN) - April 18, 2019 - So much for those photos of Kim and Pompeo standing cheerfully side by side.

April 18, 2019 - We have President Donald Trump tweeting and getting jiggy with the Saudi’s in his promise-breaking veto of Congress’s hard-won vote to end the Fascist Police States of Amerika support, munitions, supplies and military leadership in the Saudi decimation of Yemen.

I mean after 4 years, haven’t the profits already been made? Congress thought so, and in a rare move, actually did its job. Trump’s advisors, Pompous and Butthead, apparently think otherwise.

SEATTLE, Washington (PNN) - April 17, 2019 - When it comes to the kinds of technology needed to contain a sun, there are currently just two horses in the race. Neither is what you'd call “petite”.

An earlier form of fusion technology that barely made it out of the starting blocks has just overcome a serious hurdle. It's got a long way to catch up, but given its potential cost and versatility, a table-sized fusion device like this is worth anticipating.

April 10, 2019 - Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state.

It has $8 billion in outstanding bills and a $3.2 billion deficit in just next year’s budget.

But the worst part is the $250 billion they need to pay their state pensions.

When you or I have debt, the first thing we have to do is tighten the belt. We save money and cut expenses.

April 13, 2019 - If The Road to Serfdom is the defining polemic on how a totalitarian regime develops, V for Vendetta is its comic-book movie counterpart. It tells the story of a masked revolutionary fighting a tyrannical government.

Underneath its bloody theatrics and winsome hero, the movie tells the story of how totalitarian regimes form amidst formerly free and functional republics. In the movie, government officials manufacture a biological weapon and foment conflict to justify a swift power grab in the supposed best interest of the people. Throughout the movie, a theory of government undergirds the regime’s actions with the State seen as the best option for ameliorating any wrongs.

April 12, 2019 - John Kiriakou, a CIA-anti-torture whistleblower recently tweeted, “A fair trial in the Eastern District of Virginia, under Judge Leonie Brinkema, is utterly impossible. They don’t call the EDVA the ‘Espionage Court’ for nothing.”

Julian Assange was just arrested and dragged out of the Ecuadorean Embassy in relation to an extradition warrant from the Fascist Police States of Amerika that was issued in December of 2017 for conspiracy with Chelsea Manning in early 2010. To expect that he will receive a fair trial is a bit of a dream.
