t’s been more than 10 years since Guns N’ Roses released their last album, Chinese Democracy, and while there is hope that new GN’R music is on the way, we may have just gotten treated to a new Axl Rose song — thanks to the TV show New Looney Tunes, which airs on the Boomerang streaming service. The New Looney Tunes episode reportedly features Axl as a character. His appearance begins with him asking Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and company if they know where the civic center is, revealing he’s doing a concert with his band Steel Underpants there tonight.The Looney Tunes characters then tell Axl that him a giant asteroid is about to blow up the earth, with Bugs Bunny ...
How About Truth Regarding the Department of “Defense”?

With all the born-again fervor for truth among the mainstream press within the context of the Donald Trump regime, would it be too much to ask for the truth regarding the U.S. Department of “Defense.” I mean, come on, there is no way that what U.S. troops have been doing overseas for the past 70 years has anything to do with the defense of the United States. Instead, it has all been about empire and intervention. So, while we are on the subject of truth, how about if we change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of Empire and Intervention? Just consider all the millions (yes, millions!) of people in foreign lands who the Pentagon has killed since ...
Government Shutdown or Not, the Police State Will Continue to Flourish

“There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men.”—Ludwig von Mises The government has shut down again. At least, parts of the government have temporarily shut down over President Trump’s demand for a $5 billion border wall. Yet while these political games dominate news headlines, send the stock market into a nosedive, and put more than 800,000 federal employees at risk of having to work without pay, nothing about this government shutdown will diminish the immediate and very real dangers of the American Police State with its roadside strip searches, government surveillance, biometric databases, citizens ...
Huge Backlash After 11-Year-Old Boy Dressed in Drag Promoted by Media as ‘Future of America’

The mainstream media received a huge backlash for promoting an 11-year-old “drag kid” as the ‘future of America.’ 11-year-old Desmond Napoles, who goes by the stage name, “Desmond is Amazing,” is a prepubescent boy who performs drag and participates in various LGBT rallies. Desmond appeared on “Good Morning America,” last month wearing a wig, dress, high heels and makeup and the audience cheered as he performed for them. It gets worse… “Desmond is Amazing,” was also dancing at “3 Dollar Bill,” a queer nightclub in Brooklyn, New York — people were throwing dollar bills at the child as he performed on stage. Desmond posted ...

MARYSVILLE, Wash. -- Police in Marysville are asking the armed bystanders who shot at two shoplifting suspects over the weekend to come forward and speak to investigators. According to Marysville PD, the shoplifters were leaving the Coastal Farm and Ranch Store on State Avenue Saturday, when several citizens confronted them. As the thieves tried to take off in their car, the bystanders began shooting, taking out a couple of their tires. The suspects' vehicle was found abandoned a few blocks away. Officers used a K-9 to track down the suspects. No one was injured, and the people who fired the shots left the scene before police arrived. Marysville Police want to speak with the ...
Obergruppenfuhrer AGWs

Here’s news coverage from a local Vegas, NV ABC affiliate about the former Obergruppenfuhrer (note his four stars and “campaign” ribbons) and his stellvertreter (deputy) who were both fired after an internal investigation regarding sexual harassment, including ass grabbing. Leaving aside the ass-grabbing, it’s both hilarious – and depressing – to see these geeks wearing military rank insignia. Generals and majors, everywhere . . . We hear of “stolen valor” all the time – but what about these cases? The pictured Obergruppenfuhrer is not a commissioned officer. He is not even a gefreiter. He is certainly not a four-star general. Yet he ...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had surgery Friday to remove two malignant growths in her left lung, the Supreme Court said. It is the 85-year-old Ginsburg's third bout with cancer since joining the court in 1993. Doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York found "no evidence of any remaining disease" and scans taken before the surgery showed no cancerous growths elsewhere in her body, the court said in a statement. No additional treatment is currently planned, the court said. Ginsburg, who leads the court's liberal wing, is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days, the court said. The growths were found during tests Ginsburg ...

For more than two decades, John Monem’s furniture store has been a staple of downtown Brockton, Massachusetts. But a week ago, city officials gave Monem an early Christmas present: a notice to vacate his property. Brockton Furniture is currently located on the first floor of the tallest building in the city, 93 Centre Street. But in four months, Monem will be forced to relocate his business because the local government doesn’t think he has made enough of an effort to revitalize his own property. Brockton officials have insisted they can do a better job at updating the 113-year-old building and have already struck a deal with a private developer. And thanks to a shady government ...
Trump Supporters Silent as President More Successful at Attacking 2nd Amendment Than Obama

(TAC) — Just as some gun rights groups flip-flop on protecting the right to keep and bear arms from federal encroachment, so has Republican President Donald Trump. Not only has he ramped up federal gun control enforcement, but he has unilaterally implemented new federal gun control in the form of a bump stock ban. As we’ve pointed before, the effectiveness of this policy is moot: the feds have no constitutional authority to restrict firearms. It’s important to keep in mind that this isn’t merely something occurring under Trump’s watch but out of his control. The president actively pursued an unconstitutional firearm restriction through an unconstitutional ...

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, when he said America will not come back. He wrote: “The American dream ended on November 6th, 2012. The second term of Barack Obama has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind.

Acting AG Matthew Whitaker cleared to oversee Trump-Russia investigation, source says

Whitaker’s new role includes oversight of the Russia investigation, along with the agency’s other federal investigations, including the New York prosecutors’ look into the finances of Trump and his former aides. But Democrats and 18 state attorneys general blasted Whitaker’s appointment, pointing to his past comments in the media about the investigation. In an op-ed Whitaker wrote last year, he argued that Rosenstein should “order Mueller to limit the scope of his investigation to the four corners of the order appointing the special counsel.” “If he doesn’t, then Mueller’s investigation will eventually start to look like a political fishing ...
House GOP cancels news conference as potential for Trump veto increases shutdown fears

The Senate passes a bill to keep the government running into February. President Donald Trump does not indicate whether he will sign it, which complicates the House's effort to approve the legislation. Trump and his conservative allies want funding for the president's proposed border wall in the year-end spending plan. Just last week, Trump said he'd be "proud" to shut down the government over border security funding. Fears about a partial government shutdown grew Thursday as President Donald Trump left the door open to vetoing a short-term spending bill expected to pass Congress. The Senate has passed a bill to avoid a partial government shutdown. But it was ...

It seems that every time we look at the legal maneuverings that reflect upon President Donald Trump, the allegations of unlawful behavior by him add up. We know that two teams of federal prosecutors are examining his pre-presidential and his in-office behavior. Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether Trump and his campaign reached an agreement with any foreign nationals — particularly Russians — to receive anything of value and whether he obstructed justice by trying to shut down an FBI investigation of his first national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. And federal prosecutors in Manhattan are looking at bank fraud and campaign financing fraud. ...

FEE – by Carey Wedler On an April afternoon in 2018, Dr. Matthew Roman and a friend drove together to a Philadelphia gun store, Firing Lane Inc. Seeking to purchase a firearm for home defense, Roman walked up to a clerk and asked to see a Smith and Wesson 638. After Roman, 33, indicated he’d like to purchase the small six-shooter, the clerk began to ask Roman a few questions, including if he possessed a medical cannabis card, pursuant to question 11e on the ATF’s 4473 form. Roman, who has no criminal history, told the clerk truthfully that he has a medical prescription for marijuana. Sorry, the clerk told him, no gun. Roman’s application was denied due ...

New Jersey — Unless you’ve been under a rock lately, then you’ve likely seen the unprecedented push by all levels of government to separate law abiding Americans from their guns. No, this is not some conspiracy theory. The president himself ushered in a new level of gun control doing what his liberal predecessor even refused to do by banning bump stocks. However, as states across the country seek to limit the ability of innocent people to defend themselves, people are disobeying. In May, Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law that reduced the maximum capacity of ammunition magazines from 15 rounds to 10. Citizens immediately sued the government, citing the unconstitutional ...

Similar cases have resulted in huge lawsuits against hospitals and police departments.Syracuse police obtained a search warrant from a judge to compel doctors to perform an invasive rectal probe of a man they suspected of hiding drugs, even after an x-ray showed nothing out of the ordinary. And after the scope likewise turned up no drugs, the man was billed more than $4,000 for the procedure. Syracuse.com reports that Syracuse police, a city judge, and St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center "collaborated to sedate" Torrence Jackson after he was arrested following a traffic stop "and thread an 8-inch flexible tube into his rectum in a search for illegal drugs."

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump's charitable foundation has reached a deal to dissolve amid a legal battle with New York's attorney general. New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood and the foundation filed a joint stipulation with the court Tuesday laying out a process for shutting down the charity and distributing remaining assets to other nonprofit groups. New York filed a lawsuit last spring accusing the foundation of operating like an extension of Trump's businesses and political campaign. That suit will continue. Lawyers for the foundation say any infractions were minor. They say they have been trying to shut down the foundation voluntarily for months. A judge ...

Inadvertently released federal documents reveal that U.S. officials have apparently secured a secret indictment against Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks who released secret information about the internal workings of the U.S. national-security establishment. In any nation whose government is founded on the concept of a national-security state, that is a cardinal sin, one akin to treason and meriting severe punishment. Mind you, Assange isn’t being charged with lying or releasing false or fraudulent information about the U.S. national-security state. Everyone concedes that the WikiLeaks information was authentic. His “crime” was in disclosing to people the wrongdoing of ...

The administration usurps Congress by redefining machine guns.On Tuesday, the Justice Department finalized its ban on bump stocks, which Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker claims merely "clarifies" federal law. It actually rewrites federal law, a function the Constitution assigns to Congress. Whitaker also wants us to believe that the bump stock ban shows "President Donald Trump is a law and order president." To the contrary, it shows he is a president who ignores the law whenever it proves inconvenient. The final rule defines "bump-stock-type devices" as "machineguns" under the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968 ...

Mueller appears victorious in mystery subpoena dispute

A federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered a mystery corporation owned by a foreign country to comply with a subpoena that appears to be from special counsel Robert Mueller. The three-page opinion released by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is the latest twist in an opaque dispute that POLITICO and other media outlets have tied to Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The ruling offers the intriguing detail that the entity fighting the Mueller subpoena is a foreign government-owned company, not a specific individual, as many experts had speculated. Exactly who is on the receiving end of the subpoena remains a guessing game, though ...
