Although it is widely speculated that one of Trump’s aims in striking Syria was to garner further domestic public support for a political career off to a horrendous start, the result may, in fact, cost him a significant portion of his original support base. While Democrats and the media have rushed to praise — or at least failed to condemn — the president’s decision to launch yet another illegal strike on a sovereign nation, many of his original supporters have begun to express their dissatisfaction with the American president. A good example of this can be seen with one of Trump’s stalwart allies, United Kingdom Independent Party (UKIP) leader Nigel ...

San Francisco, CA — Window tint, smoking a plant in your own home, not wearing your seatbelt, walking across the street, sagging your pants, and even building a sand castle — can and will get you extorted, kidnapped, caged, or even killed — in the land of the free. And now, eating pizza while waiting for the bus can be added to the list. According to the San Francisco Gate, a man, who also happens to be homeless, was fined $250 for eating pizza while waiting for his bus to arrive. He was waiting at the corner of Market and Seventh street, holding the pizza he’d bought as a birthday treat for a female friend when the temptation to eat a slice was more than he ...

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly has lost advertisers amid controversy over the settlement of multiple sexual harassment claims, but his ratings haven't suffered. The O'Reilly Factor, the leading cable-news network's top-rated show, airing weeknights at 8 ET/PT, averaged 3.7 million viewers Monday and 3.8 million Tuesday, up 14% from the same two nights last week. The gains followed the New York Times' Sunday exposé on five settlements reached with Fox News contributors and staffers. Some of the deals were reached after last summer's ouster of the network's longtime chief, Roger Ailes, after similar complaints were lodged against him. O'Reilly's ...

The Republican-led Senate on Friday gave Donald Trump the biggest triumph of his young presidency, confirming his Supreme Court nominee over stout Democratic opposition and restoring a conservative majority on the highest U.S. judicial body.

Three Democrats joined the Republicans in voting for Gorsuch. Gorsuch's confirmation ends the longest Supreme Court vacancy since 1862 during the American Civil War, with the court down a justice for ...

Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, gave a wide-ranging interview in New York Thursday where she called on the U.S. to carry out airstrikes on Syrian airfields in order to prevent more chemical attacks on its citizens. "I really believe we should have and still should take out his air fields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them,” Clinton made the comment during an interview with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof at a women's summit. Clinton said that she favored a more aggressive action against Assad, adding that not taking a tough stance on the Syrian president was one of her worst ...

In the clip, a leaping buck jumps directly between two cyclists, somehow without getting hit. One of the men, though, is seen slamming on his brakes, swerving out of the way of the deer, ultimately going over the handlebars and onto the road. Thankfully he wasn't ...

A recording of an interview between North Miami Police Chief Gary Eugene and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators proves North Miami Police Officer Jonathan Aledda was told by another officer on the scene that there was no weapon, only a toy, but he still shot unarmed behavioral therapist Charles Kinsey on July 18, 2016. The hourlong recording was obtained by the Miami New Times Tuesday, and it reveals that after the shooting, an assistant chief lied repeatedly to Chief Eugene, and City Manager Larry Spring ignored vital evidence in the shooting. The crime scene was mismanaged, and city government and the police department were “in disarray and plagued by ...

Deming, NM — A video uploaded to Facebook this week shows what it looks like to attempt to pay a fine with quarters — in a police state. The video, uploaded by the teen’s father, Kevin Weaver, shows police swarm the young man after his form of payment for a fine was not accepted because it was in quarters. Whether or not the teen was attempting to make a point by using quarters, or that was all he had, is unknown. However, it is entirely safe to assume that since he was a teenager, the quarters were all he had. As the video begins, it is unclear what lead up to the Deming police officers swarming the teen. However, what happens next is perfectly clear. Officers, ...

Officials reviewed the day's play and, with Thompson leading by two strokes after 54 holes, they informed her on the 12th hole Sunday that she was being penalized four strokes. "Is this a joke? Oh, my God," she told an official through tears. "Four-stroke penalty, ...

As part of a CNN special report on the impact the wall between the U.S. and Mexico will have on border dwellers in the state that went overwhelmingly for President Donald Trump, the network found there is already an extensive history of government lawsuits filed to take property from homeowners. With Trump’s wall planned for the entire border, some of his supporters are now saying they will fight his ...

Terra Virgin, 32, was arrested Sunday night on charges of child neglect and permitting an unauthorized minor to drive after her car was pulled over in Tampa with the teen behind the wheel.

New Hampshire cops accompanied by a member of the SWAT team escorted a Marine Corps veteran out of city hall last Monday after he attempted to pay a parking ticket with pennies. Manchester police not only violated the Coinage Act of 1965 that states all coins are legal tender for debts by escorting Billy Spaulding out of city hall, they violated his friend's First Amendment rights by claiming he needed their permission to record the interaction. Spaulding knew they were well within the law, but ultimately obeyed police as they escorted he and his friend out of city hall on March 27. Spaulding, who spent eight years in the Marines, was also open carrying a pistol that day, which is ...

For decades, in dystopian fictions, readers and watchers alike are very familiar with the idea of state-run drones spying on the entrapped population. Luckily, however, the scenes of drones chasing down or spying on those who dare dissent against authority have been restricted to fantasy — until now. When Texas resident Bobbie Sanchez walked out in her backyard last week, the last thing she thought she'd see was a drone — hovering — watching her kids."Mommy there's a drone over our roof," said her children. According to Sanchez, the drone hovered there long enough for her to take multiple photos and to call the police for help. ...
When Government Evil Triumphs, Freedom Falls

“Government is said to be a necessary evil. The saying appears to be without merit. For can anything be at once necessary and evil? True, all governments have had a history of evil-doing, more or less. However, it does not follow from this experience that their good is indistinguishable from their evil. Governments—assuming a proper limitation of their activities—are necessary and not evil. Their evil begins when they step out of bounds.”—Economist Leonard Read It is often said that if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great. Unfortunately, the American government has been the opposite of good for too long now. In fact, the American government has ...

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows was hailed in his home district in western North Carolina for taking on President Donald Trump.
