Big Oil Now Has Authority To Arrest You For Protesting A Pipeline On Your OWN Property

If you’re a resident of Huntingdon County unfortunate enough to have your property in the path of Sunoco’s Mariner East 2 pipeline, you can forget protesting — unless arrest and jail time aren’t an issue for you. Common Pleas Court Judge George Zanic signed a rare and factious “writ of possession” order last week in favor of Sunoco, which had sought an “emergency measure” to thwart landowners protesting pipeline construction by occupying trees — on their own property. In short, protesting encroachment of this pipeline on one’s own property will earn an arrest. “We’re seriously looking at going to jail,” Elyse Gerhart told ...

Racial unrest has wracked St. Olaf College, a small campus in rural Minnesota, with students essentially taking over the campus with aggressive protests that forced administrators to cancel classes on Monday so demonstrators could air their grievances in a day-long sit in. The sit-in followed unrest on Saturday during which angry students blocked entrances to campus buildings and demanded redress for a string of alleged racial incidents on campus. “The students have taken over the campus like a coup,” Kathryn Hinderaker, vice president of the College Republicans, told The College Fix in a telephone interview Monday. In the recent past, conservative students there have voiced ...

Oh, let us all rejoice, the government won’t go into hiatus as they try and budget our money that they’re spending. This is hilarious. This is like the cult-following TV show that always threatens to cancel the next season. Everyone gets scared and writes in demanding the network keep the show on the air. Or the favorite character in a series of novels and the author alludes to possibly killing off the character in the next book. Everyone writes in, scared spitless, begging and pleading the character not be killed. As if it’s a real person. There could be a genocide where 5,000 human beings a day are being machine-gunned into trenches and people will act like it’s just a ...
Congress’ spending bill protects medical pot states

WASHINGTON — Congress extended protections to 44 states that have legalized medical marijuana in its proposed $1 trillion spending bill that funds the government through September. The language prevents the Justice Department from using any of its funding to “prevent” those states from “implementing their own laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.” This amendment, championed by former Reps. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., Sam Farr, D-Calif., and current Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., more than 10 years ago, finally became law in 2014 as part of the omnibus bill that funded fiscal year 2015. It was unclear if it ...

By Claire Bernish Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, confirmed to the position Thursday by the U.S. Senate, is one in a string of disputed appointees to President Trump’s Cabinet, but this contention doesn’t concern his politics, rather, it’s centered on his lax treatment of billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. And former Green Party candidate and U.S. Representative, Cynthia McKinney, is none too pleased with the confirmation, tweeting shortly after the news, He let Jeffrey Epstein off pedophilia charges with a wristslap; now he’s Trump’s SecLabor….

Two former Choate Rosemary Hall headmasters have resigned as honorary trustees amid the sex abuse scandal at the prestigious Connecticut boarding school. Charles Dey and Edward Shanahan tendered their resignations as life trustees last week after a scathing report alleged teachers had sexually abused students between 1963 and 2010. Dey resigned from his position Thursday, according to a Choate spokeswoman. He led the Wallingford private school from 1973 to 1991. Shanahan resigned Friday. He was headmaster from 1991 to 2011. All former Choate headmasters receive the life trustee designation, spokeswoman Lorraine Connelly said. "We thank Mr. Dey and Mr. Shanahan for their ...

Maybe Trump didn’t realize that all of his supporters actually expected him to deliver on all of his hard-edged statements. Or maybe he was Trojan Trump from the get go, just as I postulated many months ago to the outrage of many of my fellow anti-establishment readers who wanted to believe Trump was their champion. (I sympathize with them and understand their hopes, but have never seen such a self-aggrandizing narcissist as likely to fulfill that role.) The Trump election upset is turning out to be more upsetting to his supporters than to his critics. As Michael Savage says below, their world has turned upside down. The biggest problem seems to be that Trump is ...

Barack Obama’s Net Worth Surges After Leaving the White House, Thanks to Wall Street

There are valid reasons to be concerned by a president’s earnings, including after their tenure in the Oval Office. Where a former commander-in-chief earns his or her income–and the company they choose to keep after serving as the leader of the free world–could speak to their basic values in a way policies and legislation cannot. So when some Americans, including Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, saw former President Barack Obama accepting $400,000 speeches from Wall Street, signing book deals worth $65 million and vacationing with billionaires off the coast of Tahiti in a $300 million yacht, you can bet they were perplexed. How could it be that Obama, the ...

Really, it’s surprising it took them so long.But it is much more surprising that automotive journalists are leading the chorus ululating for the outlawing of the Dodge Demon muscle car. The automotive journalists at Automotive News – which is (or was) to the car world what The New York Times once was to the news-gathering world, cree that the Demon is “inherently dangerous to the common safety of motorists” and demand that it be “kept off our roads.” See here.This is not much different than discovering an editorial in the morning paper written by Bernie Sanders arguing that the IRS should be abolished.

It doesn’t matter how many investigations she blocks or how many scandals she tries to cover up — we all know Hillary Clinton is guilty as sin. According to an NBC News report released in 2013, while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, she stopped the investigation into a pedophile ring of elites in the State Department. She did this to protect the careers of an ambassador and other officials and prevent a scandal. This news report came when NBC still had a shred of integrity instead of being the liberal lap dogs we know them as today. They presented several memos that came from the State Department to back up their claims of the cover-up of the elite pedophile ...

The nation’s conspiracy-theorist-in-chief is facing a momentous decision. Will President Donald Trump allow the public to see a trove of thousands of long-secret government files about the event that, more than any other in modern American history, has fueled conspiracy theories – the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy? The answer must come within months. And, according to a new timeline offered by the National Archives, it could come within weeks. Under the deadline set by a 1992 law, Trump has six months left to decide whether he will block the release of an estimated 3,600 files related to the assassination that are still under seal at the Archives. From what is ...
