I had to do something,” Amberly told local NBC affiliate KOBI-TV. Americas Best Value Inn in Medford, O.R., lowered its normal room ...

For the second day in a row, gun-grabbers in the US House of Representatives have passed an extreme gun control bill. Yesterday we reported that the House of Representatives voted to pass H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, which would require background checks for all firearm sales, including private transactions and purchases made online and at gun shows. Currently, only federally licensed firearms dealers, importers, and manufacturers are required to conduct background checks on customers under federal law. We also reported that the House would be voting on another gun control bill this week – H.R. 1112, the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019, which has been ...

The House on Wednesday passed legislation to expand gun-purchase background check requirements to cover virtually all gun sales and most firearms transfers, taking its most far-reaching steps in years on gun control. The bill passed 240-190, after which gun control advocates who were on hand to observe the vote applauded in the House chamber. Eight Republicans voted yes, and two Democrats voted no. Democrats say extending the checks to cover more private sales is a simple way to have the government flag more people who are barred from buying guns, like felons and terrorists. “Gun violence does not discriminate by party or politics,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California ...
This Could Be Very, Very, Very Bad News For Trump…

The most important congressional hearing in decades will begin at 10 a.m. today. Attorney Michael Cohen was Donald Trump’s “fixer” for more than a decade, but now he has turned completely against Trump, and on Wednesday he is going to give the House Oversight Committee as much damaging information about Trump as he possibly can. In fact, as you will see below, he plans to testify that Trump committed “criminal conduct” after he entered the White House. Of all the challenges that President Trump has faced so far, this could potentially be the most difficult by a very wide margin. If Cohen gives the Democrats enough ammunition, they will likely ...

Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist St. Paul, MN — When 24-year-old Terrell Wilson was arrested on April 13, 2016, he never thought an accusation of swiping someone’s cellphone at a night club would end up with him being held down by a half dozen officers—and savagely tortured—while in handcuffs. But that is exactly what happened. Now, after nearly three years, the disturbing video has been released and we’ve learned the fate of the cop who doled out most of the punishment. Travis Vandewiele—the cop who doled out multiple knee strikes, punches and torture techniques on the restrained and nonviolent Wilson—has been on paid administrative ...

Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist A shocking new report from the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women paints a disturbing picture of law enforcement and their role in sex trafficking. The report found that instead of preventing child and adult sex trafficking, many police officers are participating in it. The report is titled “Sex Trafficking in Hawaii: The Stories of Survivors,” which detailed the testimonials from multiple victims. One particularly disturbing part of the report was the fact that almost half of all the victims interviewed reported that police officers participated in their abuse and victimization. “The ...

National Emergency? It’s Not the Border

Trump has declared a national emergency in a last ditch effort to get his wall built on “public” and private land. The reality of poor Central American campesinos crossing the southern border in search of free stuff in return for voting Democrats into office is overshadowed by another national emergency, one few want to talk about—the national debt. After that puppy implodes, there will be millions of born-and-bred Americans screaming for free stuff at the expense of the “one percent,” that is to say your garden variety millionaires, not the 0.01 percent. Ask Jeff Bezos how this works. His company hauled in record profits and paid zero income tax. ...

The other day, I “got away” from an armed government worker. I was “speeding” – that is to say, driving faster than the government decrees to be “safe.” Rounding a curve, I encountered an AGW. In the rearview, I saw him brake and knew he was going to U-turn after me, in order to punish me for harms I hadn’t caused but for rules (and authority) I had affronted.Rather than stop, I “fled” – and successfully “eluded” the AGW.I use the air quotes – so to speak – to make a point about the cognitively dissonant language most of use without thinking about it much.

Speed cameras are like kudzu – they have to be beaten back every so often. If, that is, the public has any idea they are about to get mulcted by them.With almost no notice and even less media coverage, Virginia is on the verge of erecting these automated revenue collectors on its highways. Two companion bills (509 and 917) have already passed the General Assembly and now await the signature of Governor “Coonman” Northam. Virtually no one seems to be aware of it.The main instigator behind the pending legislation is a former in-person revenue collector by the name of Bill Carrico, who is a state senator now but was formerly an armed government worker.

The states are seeking a preliminary injunction to stop the order in the suit, which has been filed – just as Trump anticipated – in the Ninth Circuit, which has already struck down several key Trump policies. The lawsuit, brought by states with Democratic governors except for Maryland, could stall the president’s ability to build the wall for weeks or even months. Accusing the president of “an ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Prosecutors say a Coast Guard lieutenant is a “domestic terrorist” who wrote about biological attacks and had a hit list that included prominent Democrats and media figures. Christopher Paul Hasson is due in court on Thursday in Maryland. He was arrested on gun and drug charges last week. Prosecutors say Hasson espoused extremist views for years. Court papers detail a June 2017 draft email in which Hasson described an “interesting idea” that included “biological attacks followed by attack on food supply.” Federal agents found 15 firearms and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition when Hasson was arrested. Prosecutors say he also had compiled ...
