It is discouraging to note just how the United States has been taking on the attributes of a police state since 9/11. Stories of police raids on people’s homes gone wrong are frequently in the news. In one recent incident, a heavily armed SWAT team was sent to a St. Louis county home. The armed officers entered the building without knocking, shot the family dog and forced the family members to kneel on the floor where they were able to watch their pet struggle and then die. The policemen then informed the family that they were there over failure to pay the gas bill. Animal rights groups report that the shooting of pets by police has become routine in many jurisdictions because the ...

from the this-is-how-far-an-officer-has-to-go-to-lose-everything deptMon, Jul 8th 2019 1:39pm — Tim Cushing It takes a lot for a law enforcement officer to lose the protective shield of qualified immunity. This protection originates from the courts, not from statute, so it tends to be interpreted pretty loosely by the judges applying it. It covers the most egregious abuses of civil rights and liberties, just so long as the officer being sued has performed these violations with sufficient creativity. Every so often, though, a cop does something no court can forgive. The multitude of exceptions afforded to law enforcement officers occasionally cannot be stretched to cover their sins ...

Full Transcript Justin Verlander of the Houston Astros will start tonight’s Major League Baseball All-Star Game for the American League. He’s in the news for more than that, though. Monday, he told ESPN that the huge rise in home runs this season is due to the fact that the 2019 baseball is what he called “a f-ing joke.” Many other players and commentators have questioned whether the ball is “juiced”—that is, made so that it travels farther and faster. “So, however they are making or creating ...

If you go to various cities in California, one of the first things you’ll notice is the shocking amount of homeless people that are camped out on the streets. I wish I could say these were people just down on their luck, but where homeless camps pop up, an inordinate amount of drug use does as well. And for some reason, Austin, Texas, wants to be just like them. Austin’s Mayor Steve Adler made it legal for homeless people to set up tents on city streets so long as they aren’t blocking pathways. In an interview, Adler said he doesn’t think that this will cause problems like it does in Los Angeles or San Francisco, but Austin residents, especially women, are worried about ...

Anyone who believes differently hasn’t been paying attention.

Jeffrey Epstein's Wikipedia Page Stealth-Edited To Remove Ties To Democrats

In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein's weekend arrest, an observant Twitter user noticed that someone has edited the billionaire pedophile's Wikipedia page to remove all mention of Democrats who have flown on the "Lolita Express" - the nickname given to his private Boeing 727 jet which was reportedly outfitted with a bed. On Sunday, the sentence "Epstein flew Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Chris Tucker to Africa in his private jet. Flight records show Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane 26 times" (a charge Clinton denied on Monday, claiming it was only four times). A reference to having 'attended parties' with Donald Trump ...

There’s an interesting discussion happening over at the Grassroots Motorsports forum right now, and presumably at many other places off-line. It’s about laws in Sacramento County stating, essentially, that almost any auto repair you do on your property is illegal. Of course, this is deeply troubling to almost everyone reading right now.Similar laws do exist in other counties and states, of course, but since there’s been some conversation recently around the Sacramento County laws, we may as well start there. The laws in question have to do with Sacramento’s Zoning Code, the website for which has an explanation of the codes related to auto repair.AdvertisementThe code ...

Daily marijuana use among young people in the U.S. is at the highest rate in 30 years, according to new data.

Nearly 13 percent of non- college youth participate in daily marijuana use, compared with 4.9 percent of full-time college students. Frequent recreational ...

It's an extension out of Fern Creek Baptist Church. A letter he received a month ago is calling for an end to these free clinics here in Kentucky. Kendall believes it's his duty to help people see, "because I know that there are people on the streets in Louisville who would be off the streets of Louisville if they could see." He says not everyone is able to afford eye care, "These are all of the glasses that we have for this free glasses clinic. Those glasses are ...

Here’s a story about an armed government worker – a “lieutenant,” which is a rank conferred in the same manner as SA Obergruppenfuhrer – who was seen driving erratically and recklessly, probably assuming he was immunized from any repercussions as a member of America’s Praetorian class. The AGW is driving a nice new expensive truck – paid for by the tax-victims of New Jersey. The AGWs who respond to the calls of citizens about the recklessly driving AGW are extra-deferential and extra-cautious. One takes care to tell the other that their audio is “live” – a hint to be careful about what they are about to say. They wait for several minutes, ...

A whole crew of Anne Arundel (MD) armed government workers commit assault and battery on video – and (naturally) suffer no repercussions. Once again, these “law enforcement officers” – as they like to style themselves – are ignorant of the law and proceed to make up laws – and enforce them. A kid is video-recording a pair of AGW vehicles visible from a public sidewalk. A clearly legal activity. But the AGWs have their own law: Respect My Authoritah. The kid is very guilty of this “offense,” though there is no law requiring him to respect the Authoritah of AGWs. There are, however, laws forbidding assault, battery, false imprisonment – etc. ...

President Trump is being criticized for surrounding himself with tanks, armored vehicles, flyovers, and generals and admirals during his Fourth of July celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. Critics say that it was unseemly for the president to be showing off the federal government’s military process on Independence Day. Some said it conjured up images of the Soviet Union, when that communist regime would showcase its tanks and military hardware in parades in Moscow’s Red Square.But the fact is that America is a military nation. As Trump pointed out in his Independence Day address, the United States has the most powerful military in history, one that can pulverize any other nation ...

Kamala Harris, calling on the nation to “deal with the racial wealth gap,” on Saturday proposed a $100 billion federal program to help black people buy homes. The California senator said the plan, which would provide down payment and closing cost assistance of up to $25,000 to people renting or living in historically red-lined communities, would help some 4 million home-buyers. The plan’s release comes as Harris surges in Democratic presidential primary polls following a debate last week in which she chastised former Vice President Joe Biden for his past opposition to busing and former associations with segregationist senators.

Draiman called the former Pink Floyd singer “delusional” over his support for the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign, which aims to pressure Israel to end the occupation of Palestine, among other things. "The man is so delusional, the man is so wrapped up in his own psychosis and his own hatred disguised as this quote-unquote BDS campaign," Draiman, whose maternal grandparents survived the Holocaust, told Israel’s Met Al Metal radio show.
