New York City prosecutors had some 550 convictions in cases investigated by police officer Joseph Franco thrown out, most involving low-level drug offenses. Franco was charged with perjury and misconduct after investigators in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office found video they said showed several drug buys Franco claimed to witness did not happen, or he was not in a position to see them if they did. Now, a judge has dismissed the charges against Franco after finding prosecutors failed to turn over evidence to the defense as required on at least three occasions. The evidence includes surveillance videos, cellphones from people he arrested and recordings of interviews with a ...

David Bullard, R-Okla., will revise his proposal banning transgender surgeries in Oklahoma from the minimum age of 26 to 18, following protests at the state Capitol building earlier this week.

Seattle Crime Report: “Defund the Police” Comes Home to Roost
Post Date: 2023-02-08 22:17:59 by Charles_Byrd

Without saying so out loud, the latest Crime Report published by the Seattle Police Department (SPD) reveals the natural consequences of the Marxist-backed “defund the police” initiative. Following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, Seattle suffered from Marxist thugs and revolutionaries who instigated riots, protests, and lootings. In 2021, Seattle’s City Council cut the budget of the SPD by 17 percent — one-sixth — setting in motion the inevitable rise in crime. Click for Full Text!
Biden’s SOTU: Old Wine in New Bottles

In the wake of President Biden’s second State of the Union address, most of the mainstream media’s attention, as usual, was directed at the gaffes and the drama: The President mistakenly called Senator Schumer minority leader! How dare Marjorie Taylor Greene call the president a liar! Did you see Mitt Romney and George Santos trading insults? And why did the First Lady kiss the Second Gentleman on the lips? In comparison with the usual Capitol Hill theatrics, the GOP response, delivered by Iowa governor Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, was sedate and to the point. But it was also substantially correct: Behind Biden’s bumbling, avuncular, superficially conciliatory persona, the agenda ...
Federal Appeals Court Rejects Rent Control Challenge, Says Government Has Wide Powers To Regulate Land Use

A federal appeals court has ruled that the government hasn't necessarily taken a landlord's property when it forces him or her to operate at a loss while renting to a tenant he or she never agreed to host. That's the view of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, which yesterday struck down a challenge to New York's rent stabilization law brought by two landlord associations that argued that limits on rent increases and evictions passed in 2019 were so strict, they were an effective seizure of their property.

House Oversight Committee Is Fighting Twitter Censorship the Wrong Way
Post Date: 2023-02-08 22:11:20 by Charles_Byrd

The House Oversight Committee held a hearing Wednesday with the purpose of "Protecting Speech from Government Interference and Social Media Bias." Given the disturbing and unprecedented steps taken by federal agencies like the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control to limit free expression on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites, this would appear to be a legitimate subject for government oversight. Unfortunately, the approach taken by the Republican House majority—haul tech executives before Congress and attack them for being the victims of government pressure—is both counterproductive to the goal of defending free speech online, as well as a galling ...

Disney’s government in Florida has been the envy of any private business, with its unprecedented powers in deciding what to build and how to build it at the Walt Disney World Resort, issuing bonds and holding the ability to build its own nuclear plant if it wanted. Those days are numbered as a new bill released this week puts the entertainment giant’s district firmly in the control of Florida’s governor and legislative leaders in what some see as punishment for Disney's opposition to the parental education rights law championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-controlled Legislature. Read Newsmax: Disney May Lose Control of Its Kingdom With Florida ...

An unspecified number of V-22 Ospreys will be grounded to address a hard clutch engagement issue until the component linked to the engine is replaced. The problem was first brought to light in summer 2022. The fault lies in the input quill assembly that connects the Osprey's engine to the proprotor gear box. On Saturday, the V-22 Joint Program Office announced the grounding after data analytics showed the link of fault between the age of input quill assemblies and hard clutch engagement.

New Data Show Prison Staff Are Rarely Held Accountable for Sexual Misconduct

Prison and jail staff rarely face legal consequences for sexual assault, according to new data released by the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). BJS released detailed data this week on more than 2,500 substantiated incidents of sexual assault in U.S. prisons and jails between 2016 and 2018. The data starkly show how federal, state, and local officials have ignored their constitutional duty to protect incarcerated people from sexual assault, despite federal laws intended to create zero-tolerance policies for prison rape.

Half the Senate Challenges Biden Admin Rule on ESG Investing

Every GOP senator, along with Democrat Joe Manchin from West Virginia, are launching yet another attack against President Biden’s embrace of so- called ESG investing. The senators are accusing Biden and his team of politicizing the retirement savings of more than 150 million Americans. ESG — which stands for Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance — requires companies and fiduciaries to consider climate change and other environmental and social-justice issues when making business decisions. The ESG funding scheme is akin to the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab, who refers to the scheme as “stakeholder capitalism.” Click for Full Text!

Child Welfare Algorithm May Unfairly Target Disabled Parents, Complaints to DOJ Allege

The Justice Department has reportedly been examining an algorithm used by one Pennsylvania county's child welfare agency to help determine which allegations of child neglect deserve a formal investigation, following a series of complaints that the algorithm is unfairly targeting parents with disabilities. While the county claims that the algorithm is intended to reduce human error in child welfare investigations, critics argue that the tool places disabled parents—who are already disproportionately investigated by child welfare agencies—at risk of unnecessary government intervention. According to the Associated Press, in 2016, Allegheny County—where Pittsburgh is ...

Even after an ‘Atlanta Forest Defender’ shot a Georgia state trooper in the stomach and his comrades set off race riots in the city, the leftist group at the center of it all is still fundraising. This comes months after the leftists threw Molotov cocktails at police and nearly burned an elderly driver to death. Multiple members of the ‘occupation’ have been arrested on domestic terrorism charges. And yet the IRS and Georgia’s Secretary of State have done nothing. Click for Full Text!

The Wyoming State Senate today voted 16-15, on a bipartisan basis, to pass a bill prompting the Wyoming state treasurer to hold gold and silver “specie” to protect the state – as well as establish a process to receive certain tax payments in specie. Introduced by Senator Bob Ide (R-Casper), SF 101 amends and further implements the Wyoming Legal Tender Act, a popular 2018 law that had removed all tax liability from gold and silver transactions and affirmed that the monetary metals are legal tender in Wyoming.

Bird is one of several electronic scooter companies operating in Washington, D.C. The e-scooters are incredibly convenient for traveling around town; millions of rides are taken each year. But as of January 1, the Bird scooters have all disappeared from city sidewalks. The reason for this has since become clear: The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) did not renew Bird's permit to operate. The company is fighting the decision, and has filed a petition with the D.C. Superior Court. Click for Full Text!
