The cops were looking for a meth dealer who had not lived there for at least a year. A SWAT team breaks into a home early in the morning based on an informant's tip, expecting to find an armed methamphetamine dealer. Instead they encounter an innocent family with several young children. Those were the circumstances in which police in Habersham County, Georgia, nearly killed a toddler with an errant flashbang grenade in 2014, leading to a lawsuit that was eventually settled for $3.6 million. Something similar happened last week in Mesa County, Colorado. This time no one was injured or killed, although things easily could have turned out differently. Around 11:30 p.m. last Tuesday night, ...
‘I played stoned’: Some NFL players love getting high before kickoff

BEFORE he suited up to play against the New York Giants in 2012, Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Eben Britton took an ice bath followed by a hot shower. He did his routine stretches. Then he smoked a joint. In fact, Britton — who also played for the Chicago Bears but left the league in 2014 — tells The Post he played three NFL games while high on marijuana. “NFL games I played stoned were some of the best games I ever played. Cannabis cements your surroundings,” he says. “A lot of people say they’re useless when they smoke weed. But hell, I played NFL games [while stoned], dude. My performances were solid and I felt really good after.” Modal ...

After Banning Kratom, DEA Says It Might Be a Useful Medicine

Officials at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seem to have been surprised by the negative reaction to the agency's "temporary" ban on kratom, which it implausibly claimed was necessary "to avoid an imminent hazard to public safety." That ban, which will last at least two years, can be extended for another year, and during that time the DEA is supposed to go through the motions of justifying the decision it has already made. But according to DEA spokesman Melvin Patterson, the agency may decide not to keep kratom in Schedule I, the most restrictive category under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). "I don't see it being Schedule II [or higher] ...
Just 5.7 Percent Of Clinton Foundation Budget Actually Went To Charitable Grants

Just 5.7 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s massive 2014 budget actually went to charitable grants, according to the tax-exempt organization’s IRS filings. The rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and “other expenses.” The Clinton Foundation spent a hair under $91.3 million in 2014, the organization’s IRS filings show. But less than $5.2 million of that went to charitable grants. That number pales in comparison to the $34.8 million the foundation spent on salaries, compensation and employee benefits. Another $50.4 million was marked as “other expenses,” while the remaining almost $851K was marked as “professional fundraising ...

Democrats thought he would take from Trump but polls show he’s attracting voters who like neither candidate. NEW YORK — Gary Johnson was never supposed to be a problem for Hillary Clinton. The low-profile Libertarian’s presence on the ballot would serve as an easy out for #NeverTrump Republicans, Democrats aligned with the nominee have long figured, and that could only hurt Donald Trump. But as national and battleground polls tighten and Democrats’ hand-wringing grows more urgent, operatives both within and allied with Clinton’s political operation who are looking around to explain Trump’s new polling strength are growing increasingly wary of the former New ...
Trump cracks the Electoral College lock

Trump cracks the Electoral College lock A new round of state polls shows Donald Trump suddenly has a path to 270 electoral votes. Just six weeks ago, Hillary Clinton's advantage in the Electoral College looked insurmountable. Now, based on the latest round of public polls, it's a different story. If the election were held today, Donald Trump would apparently win roughly as many electoral votes as Hillary Clinton — who held a commanding lead in early August and seemed to be closing off all possible Trump routes to 270 electoral votes. But state polling averages, which can be lagging indicators, are beginning to show Trump in the lead. According to POLITICO’s ...

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump responded to Colin Powell calling him “a national disgrace” early Thursday, tweeting he was “never a fan” of the former secretary of State and retired four-star general. Powell also called Trump an "international pariah," in personal emails that were leaked by hackers, according to BuzzFeed and The Daily Caller. In response to Powell's disdain, Trump tweeted: “I was never a fan of Colin Powell after his weak understanding of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq = disaster. We can do much better!” Powell has said the administration of George W. Bush made "terrible strategic mistakes" during ...

Never let a tragedy go unused. This mantra of the State is as strong today as it was the day after 9/11.As 9/11 was used to invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan – securing a geopolitical foothold in the region like never before – civil rights were dismantled and energies were devoted to the development of a massive domestic surveillance state that Stasi Germany could only dream of.Indeed, 9/11 served as the perfect pretext for carrying out the goals of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) – headed by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and other purveyors of U.S. military hegemony.In a policy document called Rebuilding America’s Defenses published exactly one year ...

Your Money or Your Life: What’s Behind the Latest Government Scam to Rob You Blind?

“The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat. The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful.”—Lysander Spooner, American abolitionist and legal theorist If a cop wrongfully attacks you, you cannot fight back. If a SWAT team wrongfully raids your home, you cannot defend yourself. If a highway patrol officer wrongfully takes your money or ...
DAVE NEESE: A foul smell at the FBI in Clinton email case

Dick Tracy seems to be turning into Fearless Fosdick right before our eyes. James Comey, we’re talking about here. Director of the vaunted FBI. Dick Tracy was introduced to comic strip fans in 1931. He was a square-jawed, tough, fearless, incorruptible cop, created by cartoonist Chester Gould. Then, in 1942, cartoonist Al Capp created a parody of Dick Tracy, Fearless Fosdick. He was a square-jawed Tracy look-alike — but a clueless bumbler. Comey, a nominal Republican appointed by President Obama to head the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, was initially hailed as the real-life embodiment of Dick Tracy. Now, after the Hillary Clinton email probe, critics are ...

There is no easy explanation for why some people commit crimes and others don't. Similarly, there's no easy answer to the question of why some people end up in jails and prisons while others do not. It's a mathematical reality that the American criminal justice system disproportionately punishes poor people and black people for the same crimes as wealthier and white people. But at the same time, the population of people who end up in prison do share some traits. And scientists have now traced one common criminal trait to specific genes. Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is wildly overrepresented in prisons. Take a crowd of 100 people of the street, and chances are ...

One of the US’s most well-known scientists has warned that Hillary Clinton may have been poisoned by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Bennet Omalu, the famous pathologist who discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of deceased American football players, made the disturbing suggestion on Twitter. ‘I must advise the Clinton campaign to perform toxicologic analysis of Ms Clinton’s blood,’ he wrote. ‘It is possible she is being poisoned.’ Then, in a second tweet, he added: ‘I do not trust Mr Putin and Mr Trump. With those two all things are possible.’ Bennet Omalu @bennetomalu9168 I must advice the Clinton campaign to perform ...

The Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area exaggerates the costs of marijuana legalization in Colorado while ignoring the benefits.During a debate while running for re-election in 2014, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper was asked whether voters in his state had been "reckless" when they approved marijuana legalization two years earlier. "To a certain extent you could say it was reckless," he replied.Last May, after repeatedly saying he would reverse legalization if he had "a magic wand," Hickenlooper told the Los Angeles Times, "If I had that magic wand now, I don't know if I would wave it.

What are speed limits, exactly? I know … a number on a sign. Exactly. But why pay any attention to them? I mean, assuming there isn’t a cop around? They’re not much use as far as advisories about the maximum safe velocity for a given road. If they were, then everyone (just about) wouldn’t be driving at least that fast. Probably, they’d be driving slower. If speed limits meant anything substantive, that is. Like the redline on a tachometer, for example. That is a real limit. Most people do not run their engines at or even near redline for more than brief moments. Because the redline is the fastest you can safely spin the engine without risking engine damage. ...

The Peace Corps then awarded the money without competition to a nonprofit Kerry created for the program.
