Trump Extends Post-9/11 State of Emergency

‘Temporary’ State of Emergency Seems Increasingly Permanent President Trump has become the third president over the course of 16 consecutive years to extend the “temporary state of national emergency” which was imposed in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. The state of emergency gives the president considerable leeway to bypass legal limits surrounding the military and the use of the National Guard and reserve troops. Exactly how much this power is used is itself unclear, as presidents have for years ignored a legal requirement to offer reports to Congress every six months on the matter. Officially, Presidents Bush, Obama, and now Trump have defended the ...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — An investigation into the rough arrest of a Utah nurse who refused to allow a blood draw on an unconscious patient found evidence that police officers violated department policies, the mayor of Salt Lake City said Wednesday. Mayor Jackie Biskupski discussed the findings in an unusual step aimed at repairing public trust after a video surfaced of the nurse being dragged from the hospital in handcuffs on July 26. "The rift this has caused in our city must be healed," the mayor said, citing threats made to 911 dispatchers and to her staff following the arrest. The internal affairs investigation found evidence that Detective Jeff Payne and Lt. James Tracy ...
Police culture questioned after phone recordings come to light

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Police officers' actions detailed in audio recordings released this week did not surprise Lyonel LaGrone, who grew up in Southeast Grand Rapids. He says the police-call recordings from the November night when a former prosecutor crashed his car only validated his belief that unequal treatment by police exists. During the five recorded conversations, then-police Lt. Matthew Janiskee appears to coach officer Adam Ickes and then-Sgt. Thomas Warwick through the investigation into a wrong-way crash involving former assistant prosecutor Josh Kuiper. "Before I even knew it was called third-party review, even in high school, we said police shouldn't ...

The other day, Andrew Torba was scheduled to appear on the Tucker Carlson show so I figured out how to find it off the underground TV system. I no longer have a TV subscription, so I have to rely on the dark web for this stuff. Cord cutters can say what they like about services like Kodi, but it is a hassle compared to regular cable. So much so, in fact, that I rarely watch television. Instead I download movies and TV shows and binge watch when the spirit moves me. I watched Deadwood last month, for example. Anyway, I found a stream and tuned in to the show. I did not know when Torba’s segment was scheduled so I had to sit through the whole thing. Watching Tucker interview some old ...

NFL TV Ratings Slump Again By Lucas Shaw Bloomberg September 13, 2017, 1:40 PM CDT Fewer people watched the opening week of National Football League coverage than they did last year, a decline TV executives chalk up to Hurricanes Irma and Harvey. Cable news and the Weather Channel almost tripled their audiences in prime time and grew fourfold during the day, according to data from the networks, drawing fans away from football. “Thursday Night Football” was down 13 percent, and Sunday games on Fox and CBS also declined. “Sunday Night Football” on Comcast Corp.’s NBC, featuring the arch-rival New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, was a rare bright spot.

Cops Kill Deaf Electrical Engineer, Detain the Only Witness and Delete His Video

A storm of controversy is brewing in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, after a police officer killed a deaf electrical engineer this past week in broad daylight outside Simsboro High School. The man, Joshua Cloud, was a graduate of the University of Alabama’s School of Engineering. By all accounts, he was a happy, healthy, respectful, generous and kind human being. But by the official police statements, he shot at a police officer and was gunned down as a result. The only problem with the official story is that it does not match up with an eye witness accounts of the shooting. One witness is calling Cloud’s death an act of “murder.” Quintin Crowe is a school security guard ...
US Senate Votes to Ensure America Remains at “Endless” War

Washington, D.C. — (RT) The US Senate has voted 61-36 to kill the amendment, proposed by Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) which would repeal the 2001 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Senate can’t repeal the AUMF without replacing it with a new authorization, said Senator John McCain (R-Arizona). “It would mean that we would immediately need to start winding down” US forces abroad, said Senator Bob Corker (R-Tennessee), who also opposed Paul’s amendment. Paul had vowed to delay the passage of the $700-billion dollar National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) if he didn’t get a vote on repealing the ...

Lorain, OH — Police discretion, according to the Law Dictionary, is defined as the decision-making power afforded to police officers that allows them to decide if they want to pursue police procedure or simply let someone off with a warning. The Free Thought Project has reported on multiple incidents in which cops have used their discretion to affect positive change or help those in need. However, the incident described below is, unfortunately, not one of those stories. Charlie Rolko, a father of four, was rushing his 7-year-old son to the hospital earlier this month after he’d fallen and received a deep gash that was bleeding heavily. Naturally, Rolko, who had his three ...

The Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act will now include Amendment 126, which “restricts the use of the federal government’s use of adoptive forfeiture.” It is co-sponsored by a group of nine bipartisan representatives, including Justin Amash, a Republican from Michigan, and Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat from Hawaii. “About to speak on the House floor in support of my ...
Democrats Pick Up Two House Seats in Previously Republican Districts

Democrats have picked up key wins in two traditionally Republican areas, gaining two seats in the House in the process. The first came in New Hampshire, as Democrat Charlie St. Clair beat Republican Steven Whalley in Belknap County in a special election to replace former Representative Robert Fisher. Fisher resigned from the position because people found out he was active on the Red Pill website, and that he regularly posted misogynist comments there. WMUR reports that St. Clair is known in the community as the organizer of Bike Week, because sure, why not. The second Dem victory was in Oklahoma, as Jacob Rosecrants won in House District 46, a district with a 3,000 Republican voter ...

To paraphrase the astronomer Arthur Eddington, not only is law enforcement more insane than we imagine, it's more insane than we can imagine.

In its 2015 report on the Ferguson, Missouri, police department's rights-violating, revenue-maximizing enforcement of the city's municipal code, the Justice Department described a 32-year-old African-American man who was accosted by a cop while "sitting in his car cooling off after playing basketball" in a local park on a summer afternoon in 2012. That man was Fred Watson, a Navy veteran who at the time worked as a cybersecurity contractor for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. His encounter with Ferguson Officer Eddie Boyd III resulted in nine charges that caused Watson to lose his security clearance and his job. Yesterday, more than five years after the ...

DETROIT - A protest organized on Tuesday night to oppose Kid Rock's first of six shows at Little Caesars Arena was poised to be a powder keg. Threats of violence and the potential for pro-Confederate flag counter-protesters cropped up early on Sept. 12, stoking fears that the march starting at Grand Circus Park and ending at the new $836-million arena could get ugly. But things remained civil, due in part to leaders advocating non-violence and a heavy Detroit police presence to deter bad actors.

I think it is great that the people who are running the country actually worked for a living. These numbers help explain why these last eight years were disastrous for the USA. I read the last item and then look at Trump's Cabinet. No wonder Washington, DC is in a turmoil. Trump's picks are bosses who expect their employees to work. This is what bothers a lot of people about Trump. He won't accept a can't do attitude, or inexperienced, incompetent performance. He will get results; it just might not be smooth or pretty. Here are some amazing stats: Make sure you read to the bottom. An eye opener! 1. These 10 States now have more people on welfare than they do employed! ...
