Davis, Calif. -- A rookie police officer died after being shot in northern California by a suspect who later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. Davis Police Department officials said 22-year-old Officer Natalie Corona was shot after responding to a three-car traffic accident at about 6:45 p.m. Thursday in the community west of Sacramento. Corona was rushed to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, where she later died. CBS Sacramento reports Corona was sworn in as an officer just two weeks ago. She followed in the footsteps of her father, Merced Corona, who worked in law enforcement. She graduated from the police academy in July. Following the shooting, police ...

The White House is reaching out to political allies and conservative activist groups to prepare for an ailing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s possible death or departure from the Supreme Court — an event that would trigger the second bitter confirmation battle of President Donald Trump’s tenure. The outreach began after Ginsburg, 85, on Monday missed oral arguments at the court for the first time in her 25 years on the bench. The justice, who was nominated to the court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, announced in late December that she underwent a surgical procedure to remove two cancerous growths from her lungs.
Donald Trump Jr. suggests border wall is like a zoo fence

Donald Trump Jr. used Instagram Tuesday night to endorse his father's border wall policy, saying the evidence that a wall works is because they protect people from zoo animals. "You know why you can enjoy a day at the zoo? Because walls work," Trump Jr., 41, wrote in his Instagram story. President Trump has proposed erecting concrete walls and steel slats to keep undocumented immigrants out of the U.S. Trump Jr.'s post came shortly after the president's Tuesday night Oval Office address, in which he declared a "crisis" at the southern border. Democrats said he had "chosen fear." Trump Jr. has made controversial analogies on social media before, ...
Trump dubs media the 'Opposition Party,' accuses press of working with Democrats

President Trump on Wednesday took aim at the press, accusing members of the media of working with Democrats and dubbing it the "Opposition Party." "The Mainstream Media has NEVER been more dishonest than it is now. NBC and MSNBC are going Crazy," Trump tweeted late Wednesday night. "They report stories, purposely, the exact opposite of the facts. They are truly the Opposition Party working with the Dems." The tweet came hours after Trump held a meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D- Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) amid the ongoing partial government shutdown. Trump abruptly left the White House negotiating session with ...
The Root of Police Militarization

Ben Swann takes a look at the root of police militarization and why even if military equipment is removed from police departments across the nation, militarization will not come to an end. Benswann.com has been working to raise awareness about the militarization of police for over a year, "the rest of the media acted like they had no idea." The program ignored by the mainstream media is the 1033 program. Also called the Department of Defense Excess Property Program, this platform is used by police departments to obtain military equipment. Swann explains: "It is a federal program that provides surplus DoD military equipment to state and local civilian law enforcement ...
Does Legalizing Marijuana Cause 'Sharp Increases in Murders and Aggravated Assaults'?

2 Comments
Alex Berenson, the former New York Times reporter who has just published an anti-pot polemic that he aptly named after a notoriously hysterical 1936 anti-pot movie, says marijuana legalization "appears to lead to an increase in violent crime." Like his claim that marijuana causes schizophrenia and other "serious mental illnesses," his claim that it causes violence is based on a highly selective reading of the evidence. "The first four states to legalize—Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington—have seen sharp increases in murders and aggravated assaults since 2014, according to reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation," Berenson writes in the ...

Killer cops Manny Ramos and Jay Cicinelli are the costumed goons who brutally beat Kelly Thomas to death on July 5, 2011. Mr. Thomas was a 37-year old homeless man who suffered from severe mental illness. On the evening in question, Fullerton Police received a call referencing a suspicious subject in the parking lot of the Fullerton Transit Center. The caller (who has never been identified, although various reports indicate may have been a manager at the SlideBar) reported that the man might be attempting to break into parked cars. Officer Ramos responded to the call with his partner, Officer Joe Wolfe. According to the digital voice recorders worn by the ...

Adults should have the right to make their own decisions about what to put in their own bodies.Ten states and Washington, D.C., have now legalized adult use of marijuana. Supporters of America's long war on drugs said legalization would create disaster. Has it? No. Colorado and Washington offer the longest points of comparison because weed has been legal in those states now for five years. More people in Colorado tried marijuana after legalization, but that's not a surprise. Colorado's crime rate did rise a bit. But many things influence crime rates. Washington state's violent crime rate rose a little but slightly less than the national average. In California, people I ...

And take the rest of your federal colleagues with you.Understandably, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees are no more enthusiastic about working when their paychecks are delayed than is anybody else on the planet. That's why they've been calling-in sick in increased numbers—some to seek temporary work elsewhere in order to pay their bills—as the more-theater-than-reality "government shutdown" drags on. But, isn't this an opportunity for us all? Given that the world is a better place when TSA employees and other government minions don't do their jobs, and some are already seeking alternative employment, what a great opportunity to shut ...

Tuberculosis, flu, infections rampant as the number of sick migrants surge at border

Border authorities are referring 50 people a day for urgent medical care, including tuberculosis, flu and even pregnant women about to give birth, a top official said Monday, saying it’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen before. Most of those in need of care are children, and a staggering 28 percent are under age 5, having been dragged along for the trip by parents who in many cases are hoping to use the children as a shield against speedy deportation from the U.S. The numbers were released after a full review was done of all children in the custody of Customs and Border Protection in the wake of two illegal-immigrant children who died in U.S. hospitals in December.

Newark, OH — Disturbing video has surfaced this month showing a Newark police officer blowing through a school bus stop sign as small children exited the bus. After being questioned about the video, the department responded by claiming they didn’t know it was illegal. Adding to the corrupt nature of this incident is the fact that this wasn’t just any officer in the department—it was Newark’s top cop, Chief Barry Connell. The incident happened on October 10, but the video was only just released this month. Chief Connel claims he sped by the stopped school bus as small children exited because he thought he had the right to do so while on official business—as if ...

Supreme Court turns down mysterious Mueller subpoena fight

The Supreme Court has declined to intervene in a mysterious subpoena fight that apparently involved an unidentified foreign-government-owned company and special counsel Robert Mueller. Last month, the unknown firm asked the high court to block a federal judge’s contempt order and $50,000-a-day penalty for refusing to comply with the subpoena, arguing that the company is immune from U.S. grand jury subpoenas. The company also insisted that complying with the subpoena would violate the law in the firm’s home country. But on Tuesday, the Supreme Court turned down the company’s request to step into the dispute, at least for now. The order in the case came a little more than two ...

Members of the Crow Tribe hunt elk to feed their families. The state of Wyoming says they can't kill the animals on federal forest land without a permit. The Supreme Court will now decide whether an 1868 treaty protects the Native Americans' right to hunt. During a 2014 hunting expedition, Clayvin Herrera and three other tribal members pursued a small herd of elk as it moved from the Crow Reservation in Montana to the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming. There the hunting party "shot, quartered and packed" three elk, and carried the meat back to the reservation, dividing it among their families, according to court documents. Wyoming game officials later tracked down ...

They are not with him.
All four living ex-presidents have publicly rebuffed President Trump’s claim that they privately gushed about the need for a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump made the questionable remark during a raucous press conference in the White House Rose Garden on Friday while defending his refusing to end the government shutdown without Congress first agreeing to use taxpayer dollars to fund the construction of a behemoth border barrier.
“This should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me and they all know it," Trump said of his ...

Columbia, MO — A tragedy unfolded last week in front of a school in which a Columbia police officer, Andria L. Heese, 27, drove her police SUV up onto a sidewalk and killed 4-year-old Gabriella Curry. It is undoubtedly a terrible time for all parties involved—especially the parents—but local media took to praising the officer shortly after the incident. The tragedy unfolded Friday afternoon as Heese arrived at Battle High School to observe students departing school. As she arrived at the school, she drove her police SUV onto the sidewalk where little Gabriella was walking. Heese was driving in a roundabout near the parking lot at Battle High School in Columbia when her car ...
Trump’s Neocons Reverse His Syria Withdrawal Plan

I’m starting to wonder whether President Trump has any power over US foreign policy at all. Many people believe that the US president is just a figurehead, with actual foreign policy firmly in the hands of the deep state. Trump’s latest dramatic U-turn on pulling troops from Syria certainly feeds such theories.When President Trump announced just a couple of weeks ago that the US was removing its troops from Syria and possibly reducing troops from Afghanistan, the neocons, the media, the military-industrial complex, and the left-wing “never-Trump” people were livid. They were silent when President Obama made the horrible decision to overthrow Assad in Syria and sent ...

Imagine being empowered by the state to threaten people with murderous violence over hurt feelings. Or for pretty much any reason at all. Without having to worry much – if at all – about ever being held criminally responsible for such abuse. To say that such a policy is dangerous is like saying there’s a slight problem in the Titanic’s hold, after it hit the iceberg. It is catastrophic – as great a threat to our liberties as the gushing-in seawater was to the souls aboard the doomed liner. In this video, a man who flipped The Bird to an armed government worker finds himself in mortal peril because he hurt the AGW’s feelings. Not because any law was ...

A conservative is upset that there appears to be “a seemingly irresistible momentum promoting unrestrained medical and recreational use of marijuana in the U.S.” This is certainly true. Because of the passage of some marijuana ballot initiatives in the recent election, there are now thirty-three states that have legalized the medical use of marijuana, plus the District of Columbia, and ten states that have legalized the recreational use of marijuana, plus the District of Columbia. Just the states of Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming have ...

Control freaks have turned to dishonest rulemaking and outright censorship in doomed but still dangerous efforts to take people's weapons away.Control freaks who want to disarm you doubled-down last year on bad legislative ideas that have a long history of failure. They've also turned to dishonest rulemaking and outright censorship in their doomed but still dangerous efforts to take weapons away from people they don't like and reserve such tools for themselves. (You didn't think the control freaks planned to personally disarm, did you?)

Is more gun control legislation coming to Congress? The 2018 midterm elections produced a split Congress with Democrats gaining control of the House and Republicans gaining seats in the Senate. The change in House leadership will signal changes in gun control legislation in the near future. The Guardian has detailed House Democrats’ desire to pass gun control legislation in the upcoming Congress: “Ted Deutch, a Democratic congressman from Florida who represents Parkland, where a February school shooting left 17 dead, said this week that he expected House Democrats to focus on bills with more bipartisan support. Those measures included bump stock bans and “extreme risk ...

Based on the work of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth led by Richard Gage, first responder and pilots organizations, books by David Ray Griffin and others, and eyewitness testimony, the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry has presented enough hard facts to the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York to force his compliance with the provisions of federal law that require the convening of a federal grand jury to investigate for the first time the attacks of September 11, 2001. ...
