A Minnesota train plowed through a massive snow drift after a fierce blizzard struck the Midwest over the weekend.

In the video, several feet of snow is seen covering the tracks as a BNSF Railway Co train prepares to barrel through.  

Moments later, the train sends bursts of snow flying through the air as it passes by.

The tracks had been covered in more than a foot of snow over the weekend after a blizzard caused Minnesota to declare a state of emergency. Residents were urged to stay at home amid -5F temperatures in Minneapolis.

Updated: Since writing this article in February of this year, Trump met with Kim Jung Un for a second time.  Again, Trump was forced to walk away without a deal. Korea realizes that because the Democrats took the House, they may be able to outlast Trump.  Hopefully Trump will make a deal of the century;  I for one am routing on that scenario and hope to be wrong, but the following was my concern, and still maybe the end result still... But recent events in the past week is proving my belief. THERE IS NO DEAL

 By Bob Barney-ThePlainTruth.Com

If the Korean Nations unite, it will be under North Korean rulership!  Donald Trump was right in bullying Korea into talking, but I am afraid the Deep Staters surrounding him have led him astray in believing that a unification of Korea can happen.    Will we learn from history? Will we listen to the warnings from our God?
    

Will you and every other American decide whether to listen to our God and obey, or continue down the road to globalization, world government  and total destruction of our way of life. The problem is not new. This has all happened before--over and over again, but we are a stubborn people who refuse to learn from our past. In the Bible, God warns us against false peace promises that weak leaders promise, but we are warned not to heed. In Jeremiah 6:9-14, God says this:
    "This is what the Lord GOD (Jesus) Almighty has said: Everything will be taken from the rest of Israel as the last grapes are taken from the vine; let your hand be turned to the small branches, like one pulling off grapes. To whom am I to give word, witnessing so that they may take note? see, their ears are stopped, and they are not able to give attention: see, the word of the Lord has been a cause of shame to them, they have no delight in it.  For this reason I am full of the wrath of the Lord, I am tired of keeping it in: may it be let loose on the children in the street, and on the band of the young men together: for even the husband with his wife will be taken, the old man with him who is full of days.  And their houses will be handed over to others, their fields and their wives together: for my hand will be stretched out against the people of the land, says the Lord.   For from the least of them even to the greatest, everyone is given up to getting money; from the prophet even to the priest, everyone is working deceit. And they have made little of the wounds of my people, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."

     Another translation says: "'Everything is all right! Everything is all right!' But it's not all right."  And everything is NOT all right indeed! If we don't change things soon, we will end up as slaves to an end time beast called the King of the North, in the bible, and a false prophet, who I believe will be a Pope. The Bible is quite clear that the Holy Roman Empire is the 4th and last beast-type regime that will rule the earth. In Revelation, there are seven resurrections of that empire, and the 7th may be soon upon us. God help us if it is. There is no rapture, we all go into the tribulation and we all must endure to the end, or be martyred for Christ. This is The Plain Truth--as sobering as it is. PRAY we are not living in these times.

Other Bible Quotes: 

Jer 11:  They offer superficial treatments for my people's mortal wound. They give assurances of peace when there is no peace.

Ezekiel 13:10:  This will happen because these evil prophets deceive my people by saying, 'All is peaceful' when there is no peace at all! It's as if the people have built a flimsy wall, and these prophets are trying to reinforce it by covering it with whitewash!

We need to be aware of God's word, and the awful predictions that will be coming true, including the end of The USA, United Kingdom and other Western Nations.   We need to heed the warning from God, and STOP OUR GLOBALISM, or we will end up fulfilling prophecy in OUR lifetime...   We can delay it, if we as a nation heed God's words.....

The rush to peace at any price is pushing the world closer to that great middle eastern war which Revelation 9 tells us will kill up to a BILLION people.   I can't even fathom killing on such a degree.  It's seems impossible, but God's word says it is coming to past, and the clowns in this White House are making this disaster more real every day!  If you don't read the Bible, you can not understand what is happening today!  Get prepared, WAR is COMING- NOT PEACE!

Trump Walks Away: Kim Summit Cut Short- 

© Tom Brenner for The New York Times Andrew D. Goldstein is one of Robert Mueller’s lead prosecutors in the obstruction of justice investigation of the president.

WASHINGTON — The routine was always the same. President Trump’s lawyers would drive to heavily secured offices near the National Mall, surrender their cellphones, head into a windowless conference room and resume tense negotiations over whether the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, would interview Mr. Trump.  But Mr. Mueller was not always there. Instead, the lawyers tangled with a team of prosecutors, including a little known but formidable adversary: Andrew D. Goldstein, 44, a former Time magazine reporter who is now a lead prosecutor for Mr. Mueller in the investigation into whether the president obstructed justice.

Mr. Mueller is often portrayed as the omnipotent fact-gatherer, but it is Mr. Goldstein who has a much more involved, day-to-day role in one of the central lines of investigation. Goldstein — a donor to President Barack Obama’s campaigns — has a history of corruption himself

  Rich people are almost always liberal Democrats.  That's a fact.  No, they don't have genuine feelings of altruism, instead they realize that Democrats make rich people richer, and poor people poorer.  It's the Plain Truth!  Warren Buffett on Saturday appeared to fault U.S. President Donald Trump for taking too much credit for the nation's economic growth, while acknowledging that market conditions are making it tough for his Berkshire Hathaway Inc to find more big companies to buy.

Buffett lamented these states of affairs in his widely read annual letter to Berkshire shareholders.

'It is beyond arrogance for American businesses or individuals to boast that they have "done it alone",' Buffett wrote.

Buffett also made a possible oblique criticism of Trump's bragging about U.S. economic performance, including relative to other countries such as China, where Berkshire invests in electric car maker BYD Co.

Yes, it seems that Trump's economy is lifting up middle and poorer class Americans at the expense of people like Buffet!  It's about time we have a president for America!

America on the BRINK of a CIVIL WAR between White and Black- Long before Trump took Office!

After the Financial Crisis, Civil War? Get Ready to "Leave Your Region ..."-3/2 TruthOut/Le Monde, by Claire Gatinois-- According to the European think tank, LEAP/Europe 2020, two factors make the US a likely candidate for civil violence: the absence of a strong social safety net and the presence of hundreds of millions of firearms. Will the economic and financial crisis degenerate into violent social explosions? Tomorrow, will there be civil war in Europe, the United States and Japan? That's the rather alarming conclusion that the experts of European think tank LEAP/Europe 2020 lay out in their latest bulletin dated mid-February. ...After the Financial Crisis, Civil War? Get Ready to "Leave Your Region ..."-3/2

Civil unrest: Liberals most at risk

Should civil unrest break out over economic or social factors (or both), your rank-and-file liberals will likely be hit harder than most. Think about it. These are people who will have done nothing to prepare for such a scenario; either they don’t believe it can happen, or they assume the government will step in and “take care” of them if it does. Should their children want for food and no one provides any, they’ll perceive themselves entitled to take it from someone else. This will add to the mayhem, of course, but it will serve the government’s purposes quite well.

Many liberals live in major cities. Should full-scale chaos erupt, these will be the absolute worst places to find oneself. During Hurricane Katrina, the police cleared out of much of New Orleans for fear of heavily armed gangs. I suppose that liberal dads will be able to sell off their daughters to gangs for protection should things get too desperate.   Read the whole article here

“The next three months will be critical in bringing the locust situation under control before the summer breeding starts,” FAO’s Senior Locust Forecasting Officer Keith Cressman said.

Earlier this year, the insects evoked biblical times when they showed up at holy sites in Mecca, covering some areas in darkness and sparking a thunderstorm of hail and fire on social media.

“These locusts are normally present in low numbers in the desert and don’t cause a big problem. But following a large rainfall they can quickly multiply, eventually forming hopper bands or swarms of adults, composed of billions of individual locusts,” Cressman told The Media Line.

According to the FAO, locust swarms can extend outwards several hundred square miles, containing roughly 40-80 million adult locusts in each square mile.

What makes these insects so dangerous is their threat to food security, says Cressman.

“A desert locust adult can consume its own weight (roughly 2 grams) in food in a day. The added difficulty is they’re normally in the desert, so they’re eating the vegetation there.

“Once they get into rain-fed crops on the edge of the desert, grown by poor farmers, they’re eating an entire livelihood, and then they move into the country and affect national food supplies,” he emphasized.

James Baker, the former general counsel for the FBI, told Congress that he thought Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted until 'pretty late' in the Department of Justice's investigation.

James Baker, the former general counsel for the FBI, is under investigation for unauthorized leaks to the media

Baker told Congress, according to Fox News, that Clinton's team should have known that as secretary of state she'd be receiving and sending 'highly classified' information over email and needed to be using a secure network. 

In closed-door testimony he told lawmakers that DOJ officials had internal arguments about whether to bring charges against Clinton. 

Baker said that her personally found her behavior to be 'alarming' and 'appalling' but other high-level officials were convinced that she did not have 'knowledge or criminal intent' when she used a secret server and personal email to conduct government business.

Leaked government memos show that former FBI director James Comey, at least, had decided months before speaking to Clinton that she was not likely to be prosecuted.

I'll admit it, when I was first informed about this guy who called himself, "Q" I had no idea what, who that was.  I try NOT to be uninformed, so we ran a story (republished below) by Jennifer Rae.   Since then I have paid attention to the subject, with the normal skepticism I have with most theories, especially those who can't put their name to it. The claims of Q-Anon make me think of the French self proclaimed psycic Nostradamus, who made all sorts of nonsensical predictions.  He did so by discussing them, so he said, to keep himself from being imprisoned.  Actually he used the style he did because the predictions were so vague, that basically anybody could make them fit into any scenario.  Back in the 70's , Nostradamus was "the thing," and many Christians were duped!   Enter the claims of Q-Anon, who makes Nostradamus' writing biblical!  

I have come to the personal belief that the entire "Q" thing is a hoax, by ANTI-TRUMPERS to make his supporters look like morons like in this Daily Beast article.  That's my opinion, I have some articles today for our readers to become aware of the situation!

Plotters in the deep state tried to shoot down Air Force One and foil President Trump’s North Korea summit. A cabal of global elites, including top figures in Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the intelligence agencies, are responsible for nearly all the evil in the world. And now Trump is going to fix it all with thousands of sealed indictments, sending the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama straight to Guantanamo Bay.

Or at least that’s how the world is going for the believers of QAnon, the complex pro-Trump conspiracy theory that’s starting to having unpredictable effects in real life. The real  news can be bad for Trump, but in QAnon-world, the president and his supporters really are getting sick of winning.

QAnon springs from a series of cryptic clues that started to be posted online in October 2017. Starting on 4Chan before migrating to the even more fringe 8Chan, the anonymous person behind the clues  goes by “Q,” a reference to a high-level government security clearance. The “Anon” in “QAnon” refers to both Q himself, and to Q’s nameless supporters, the “anons.”

Q is supposed to be revealing this top-secret information via the clues, which QAnon fans have dubbed “breadcrumbs.” They’re written in a short bursts, in a reference-heavy style that’s part poem, part ransom note. Here’s one example from June:

Have you heard about Q yet? (Don't feel bad, many haven't and here is what you need to know)

 written by Jennifer Rae

Q is all-the-buzz.

Q allegedly is an anonymous team of people on the world-wide-web who report on the corruption of the deep state and how the cabal is being dismantled by President Trump and his administration.

There is a lot of controversy over whether Q is real or not or even connected to our President in any way. There is even speculation by Q followers that Q could actually be POTUS communicating with us at times, hence the signature of Q₊on special, occasional “Q Drops”. Drops are posts or pertinent messages by Q in sort of a Cliff Notes style format.

Q has a huge following in spite of being a highly tendentious entity. Whether you find yourself hooked on Q or still rolling the concept around of such an ingenious, alternative ‘newzie’way the President might be communicating with We the People one thing cannot be denied, there is a whole lot of Satanism being practiced in the world and Q has a lot to say about that! In turn, so do those with allegiance to Q. People are impassioned and some finding renewed purpose in their lives to help expose the truths Q keeps pointing everyone to.

The evidence is mounting of connections to Satanic/Luciferian pagan rituals and pedophilia practices amongst the elite and uber-elite. These depraved individuals are actually being arrested and are singing like canaries, outing those in their circles who are guilty of similar crimes. Do the names Weiner, Weinstein, NXIVM and Alison Mack ring any bells? How about Epstein Island? Pizzagate? And How about all of the priests that are being exposed for their crimes against young boys, defrocked and brought up on charges? Another huge win for this administration early this year was the dismantling of a human trafficking site called Backpage.com. It just doesn’t stop there as the list goes on and on. What a significant time for humanity as it does seem we are living in a state of greater awareness.

You see, Q is about “The Great Awakening” and the “Patriots fight”. These are two main vision statements of this mysterious Q entity. Q initiates the difficult conversations about the depravity looming around us and quite honestly some of what is surfacing is outright sickening. Q seems to motivate the decent patriotic American to press forward no matter how uncomfortable the information makes one feel.

Did I mention that Q is extremely popular? People are moving and shaking the internet earth to break the latest Q drops. When Q mentions a government employee or a leader of another country, a man of the cloth or even a Hollywood actor you can be sure an army of dedicated truth defenders and researchers called “Anons” are on the task of a thorough investigation. The whirlwind of information gathered and shared can be overwhelming as there are hundreds of YouTube channels dedicated to the sinister findings of Q. On any given day head on over to Twitter or Facebook and you will find tens of thousands of threads discussing all things Q.

One very important statement that has been repeated by Q is, "Symbolism will be their downfall”.

On the “Chan” board on the world-wide-web is where you will find the existence of Q. Today there are just over 2200 Q-Drops since October 28, 2017. One resource that pulls the Drops into an easy to view format is https://qmap.pub/

In Drop 1953  you will see featured a Nazi swastika with The Imperial Eagle, both symbols adopted and joined together by the Germans used to denote communism and the Hitler Youth. We also see a mirrored image of the 1933 Communist Party flag that the modern day terrorist group Antifa proudly parades around the globe with.

In Drop 1954 you will see a sequence of photos: 1) a Nazi/Communist pin of the Hammer and Sickle, then 2) a photo of Pope Francis admiring a larger version of said hammer and sickle with Jesus hanging from a cross. If you look closely you can see that is the same symbol in medallion form hanging around his neck and you will see the same Imperial Eagle/Swastika as well. In addition, 3) a photo of Gloria Vanderbilt wearing a very similar styled necklace as the pope. It seems it may be a Guatemalan Charm Necklace and the specific charms are called “Milagros”. The word “Milagro” means “miracle or offering”.

During an interview with New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz reacted to reports Department of Justice officials, including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, considered invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.

“Any talk about the 25th Amendment is clearly wrong,” he said to host John Catsimatidis. “The 25th Amendment is designed for Woodrow Wilson having a stroke, President Reagan being shot and being incapacitated for a few days while surgery occurred. That’s its purpose and its scope. You can’t use the 25th Amendment if you disagree with the president, even if you think he’s committing impeachable offenses. If you think he’s committing impeachable offenses, then impeach him. But the 25th Amendment is sacred. It should be reserved only for situations where either the president admits he’s unable to serve, or the vice president and a majority of the cabinet acknowledge that he can’t serve, that he is incapacitated for physical or psychiatric reasons. It shouldn’t be abused in the way that it is alleged that Rod Rosenstein wanted to abuse it.”

“If the [allegations] are correct and if there were serious discussions about wiring Rod Rosenstein, having him go into the president, catching him in some statement, and then invoking the 25th amendment, that’s a serious, serious challenge to our Constitution,” he continued. “There ought to be hearings about it. There ought to be concerns within the inspector general of the Justice Department. We have to get to the bottom of this and find out if there was really an attempt to coup d’etat. Treason is defined in the Constitution and means only taking arms against the country, or giving aid and comfort to our enemies. So treason wouldn’t apply in a situation like this. But, violating Justice Department policies seem like that may have occurred if this was a serious attempt. Now Rosenstein said he was joking about wiring the president.  Well, A – that is not something you joke about, and B – McCabe said that wasn’t a joke. It was being seriously considered. We have to get the facts. We have to get to the bottom of this.”

Now, the only question Republicans have is how many pennies of border security they will fight for, while refusing to challenge any of the nonessential and even harmful programs of the federal government. The GOP platform on debt and spending is a lie from top to bottom, as Republicans plan to pass more budget bills allowing us to blow through the budget caps without any effort to systemically reform the way we budget.

Bob Barney: The Plain Truth is that under Republicans, spending has increased far more dramatically than under Democrats. I realize most of you out there don't believe this fact but it is true.  Under Trump and the Republicans, spending is at an all time high, and yet it was the Republican Party who could not find $5 billion for a wall, out a a 3 trillion dollar budget!   Wake up.  Republicans are liars who do not represent their voters.  Democrats are EVIL, who do represent their voters, most of whom are evil themselves!

Classical Chinese military strategy says the best general wins the war without engaging troops on the battlefield.   This informs Beijing’s economic aggression against the U.S. – bankrupting America’s industries will cripple the U.S. militarily without firing a shot.

As part of that campaign, Beijing subsidizes its state-owned and state-controlled companies to give them an advantage over American competitors that play by profit-and-loss free-market rules.

Favored companies receive free electricity, free land, free money, low- or no-interest loans, free buildings and even free labor, provided by prison inmates.

These subsidies allow China to flood our markets with below-cost steel, aluminum, synthetic fibers and other products so they can steal market share from honest American companies.

Beijing is notorious for using export subsidies to grab the “high ground” of new and emerging technologies, including green technology.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrick Caddell, the pollster who helped propel Jimmy Carter in his longshot bid to win the presidency and later distanced himself from Democrats, has died, a colleague said Saturday night. He was 68.

Caddell died Saturday in Charleston, South Carolina, after suffering a stroke. That’s according to Professor Kendra Stewart of the College of Charleston, who confirmed the death to The Associated Press.

After working with Democrats in the 1970s and 1980s, Caddell eventually drifted away from the Democratic Party and began advising supporters of Republican Donald Trump and was a contributor to Fox News for a time.

Caddell worked for 1972 Democratic nominee George McGovern, then joined with Carter in the mid-1970s to develop a campaign strategy to overcome the cynicism spawned by the Vietnam War and Watergate. In an oral history for the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, Caddell said Carter’s best bet was to present himself as an outsider who could help heal the country.

As a student at Harvard, Caddell had studied Southern politics and was helpful to Carter and his close advisers as they studied how to maneuver their campaign between the competing forces of the McGovern liberals and supporters of conservative firebrand George Wallace.

Caddell, a native of Rock Hill, South Carolina, and the Georgia governor found they had many ideas in common about how he could win the presidency. As a one-term governor from the South, Carter would have to offer a compelling outsider theme.

“In order to win, he had to articulate a sense of what had happened to the country through Vietnam and Watergate. If you go back and look at those speeches that he gave early in the campaign, he would talk about the damage to the country, its psychology,” Caddell said in the oral history. “Essentially, what he was running on in the campaign was that the country had been psychologically devastated by the previous decade of events. He was offering himself as a healer...”

Carter won the presidency, but Caddell, known at the time for his bushy black beard with a gray streak, preferred to advise the president from outside the White House.

Caddell warned Carter of the dangers of getting out of touch with the voters who had embraced him during the campaign. But one bit of Caddell advice seemed to backfire.

Caddell wrote a memo warning of crisis of confidence that Americans were experiencing and urged Carter to address them directly about it. That became known as the “malaise” speech, though Carter never used that word.

He lost re-election a year later, in a bid complicated by economic fears, an intraparty challenge and the Iran hostage situation. The winner, Ronald Reagan, offered an optimistic vision of the country.

Caddell consulted with other Democratic presidential candidates in the 1980s and was a close adviser to Joe Biden during his failed 1988 bid for the presidency.

In explaining his break from Democrats, Caddell said he thought the party was no longer “a party of the people” but had been hijacked by elites, the well-educated, Wall Street and interest groups.

He noted in a 2016 speech to students at Michigan’s Hillsdale College that he was offended when the Democrats at their national convention would not allow Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey Sr., who was against abortion, to deliver a convention speech. Caddell considered the Democrats to be guilty of “the stifling of dissent.”

And he commended Trump for reaching out to people the Democrats were not effective in reaching, and his willingness to take on “the political class.”

Lean Finely Textured Beef, dubbed 'pink slime', has been officially classified as 'ground beef' by the USDA. 

On December 21, 2018, the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service reclassified the the controversial pink slime as simply ground beef. 

Pink slime is a food additive made from beef trimmings exposed to ammonia gas that in 2012 was reported to be found in 70 per cent of American burgers. 

When the news of the additive first broke in 2012, McDonald's pledged to stop using it and many campaigned against the substance, which led to a $1.9billion lawsuit against ABC News for reporting about South Dakota-based Beef Products Inc's beef.  

The beef product known as pink slime or lean finely textured beef has been classified as simply ground beef by the USDA 

'After reviewing the Beef Product Inc.'s (BPI) submission of a new product and new production process, FSIS determined that the product meets the regulatory definition of ground beef under the law in 9 CFR 319.15(a) and may be labeled accordingly,' a USDA spokesperson said in a statement to The Takeout.
