A fearless Brooklyn dad was fatally shot on Tuesday because he refused to stand by and allow a couple of punks to smash into parked vehicles in a hardworking area of East Williamsburg, cops and witnesses said. “Hey, what are you trying to do? Break into people’s cars?” Michael “Mush” Matusiak said to the thieves that he had followed around the corner with a colleague from his sheet-metal job at around 8 a.m. One of them wheeled around without saying a word and opened fire. Matusiak, 53, was struck several times in the chest and collapsed between two cars on Knickerbocker Avenue. The co-worker, Derrick Robinson, 57, was shot in the torso and grazed on the ear, and ...
Here’s How 72% of Fortune 500 Companies Use Congress to Avoid Paying Taxes, Sticking You With the Bill

Unlike average Americans and small businesses, U.S.-based multinational corporations armed with legions of lobbyists have manipulated the law into allowing their Fortune 500 companies to operate under a completely different set of rules. With Congress allowing these corporations to set up offshore tax havens, a new study found that nearly 75% of the Fortune 500 avoid an estimated $90 billion in federal income taxes each year. On Tuesday, the U.S. PIRG (Public Interest Research Group) Education Fund and Citizens for Tax Justice released a scathing report accusing Fortune 500 companies of holding over $2.1 trillion in accumulated profits offshore to evade paying U.S. taxes. By registering ...

A University of Pennsylvania professor of religion recently called African-American presidential candidate Ben Carson a “coon” on Twitter. Anthea Butler used the racist term in a tweet responding to a Sports Illustrated article on how Carson didn’t mind NASCAR fans flying the Confederate flag on private property. “If only there was a ‘coon of the year’ award…” she lamented. Butler deleted the tweet when contacted by conservative student website Campus Reform. But Campus Reform managed to get a screenshot beforehand.

Trump campaign trolls Rubio with bottled water delivery

Donald Trump delivered a new dig in his ongoing feud with Sen. Marco Rubio on Monday: a 24-bottle care package with the label “Trump Ice Natural Spring Water.”
The set of bottled water was sent to the Rubio campaign’s Washington office on Monday. The package also had two towels with the “Make America Great Again” Trump campaign slogan, Trump campaign bumper stickers, and a note that said “Since you’re always sweating, we thought you could use some water. Enjoy!” according to CNN.
It’s a jab at Rubio who awkwardly reached for a bottle of water right in the middle of his 2013 State of the Union rebuttal to President Barack Obama. It’s also the latest attack in the squabbling between ...
Marijuana is Bringing in Record Tax Cash for Colorado

Doug Pensinger/Getty Images If additional tax revenues are the proverbial carrot-and-stick that will convince state legislators across the nation to buy into the idea of legalizing marijuana, then Colorado’s recent numbers are sure to have lawmakers frothing at the mouth. We’ve been aware the grand experiment that is marijuana legalization, playing out in both Washington and Colorado, has been a success on some level. But new numbers show states could benefit even more than anyone predicted. Colorado, which enacted its legal marijuana trade nearly two years ago, has been raking in tax revenues with surprising efficiency. But the most recent numbers from the state’s Department ...

An Iowa farmer who was running unopposed for his local school board failed to earn any votes — not even his own — but he'll probably still get the job. Randy Richardson, 42, didn't find time to vote for himself between his full-time maintenance job at a bean processing plant in Riceville and his chores on his farm near McIntire, The Des Moines Register reported (http://dmreg.co/1KuptW7 ). Richardson was recruited to run by school staff, and though he said he's "run paper thin the way it is," he agreed because he has two kids in the district. Neighbor Jessie Miller said there wasn't any key issue to drive her to vote in the school board race. "I ...

(Desperate Americans stand in soup kitchen lines and look for work. Circa 1929) While the Obama administration and their mainstream surrogates maintain that the economy is growing at a booming pace, the reality of the situation is starkly different. According to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics some 94.6 million Americans (age 16 and over) are either not working or have made no effort to find a job. With a population of 320 million, that means nearly one in three people in the United States are currently out of work. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that a record 94,610,000 people (ages 16 and over) were not in the labor force in September. In other words ...

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is hammering President Barack Obama, his administration and Congress for completely failing the American worker when it comes to trade policy—whacking the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact with 12 Pacific Rim nations that the Obama just finalized in Atlanta as a deal that jeopardizes U.S. jobs. “The incompetence and dishonesty of the President, his administration and— perhaps most disturbing—the Congress of the United States are about to place American jobs and the very livelihoods of Americans at risk,” Trump tells Breitbart News in an exclusive statement reacting to the news that the president and his negotiators have wrapped ...

Deputies who were called to the scene found the little girl on the ground with a chest wound. She was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The boy, ...

SAN FRANCISCO — The only gun store in San Francisco is shuttering for good, saying it can no longer operate in the city's political climate of increased gun control regulations and vocal opposition to its business. "It's with tremendous sadness and regret that I have to announce we are closing our shop," High Bridge Arms manager Steve Alcairo announced in a Facebook post on Sept. 11. "It has been a long and difficult ride, but a great pleasure to be your last San Francisco gun shop." Alcairo said the breaking point came this summer when a local politician proposed a law that would require High Bridge Arms to video record every gun sale and submit a weekly ...

She’s on a mission to be a softer, warmer, funnier candidate — but according to a new book, the real Hillary Clinton is so volatile and prone to violent outbursts that she terrorizes staff, Secret Service agents and even her own husband. In “The Clintons’ War On Women” (Skyhorse), out Oct. 13, political strategist Roger Stone details Hillary’s abusive behavior — dating back to the Clintons’ days in Arkansas, where Bill served as governor. “Hillary Clinton has a long history of being domestically violent with Bill,” Stone writes. “Hillary has beaten Bill, hit him with hard objects, scratched and clawed him, and made him bleed.” ...

SALEM, Ore. (Oct. 1, 2015) – Limited sales of recreational marijuana begin in Oregon today, representing another major step toward nullifying the federal ban on cannabis in practice in the Beaver State. In July, it became legal for adults over 21 to possess, use and cultivate marijuana in Oregon. Adults can have up to 8 ounces of cannabis inside their homes and 1 once outside. They can also grow up to four plants. But until today, there was no place to legally purchase recreational weed. That changes today. Now, anybody over 21 with a valid ID can now walk into an Oregon medical marijuana dispensary and purchase recreational marijuana. According to KOMO, more than 200 of the ...

DAVIE, Fla. – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton says she will fight for stricter gun controls following this week's deadly mass shooting at an Oregon community college. She addressed the issue Friday while speaking at a community college in south Florida. She says Republicans have put the interests of the National Rifle Association "ahead of American families." The Democratic front-runner says there needs to be a "national movement" to counter the NRA's influence in Washington.

When CBS’s 60 Minutes Wednesday broadcast its lead story—reported by Dan Rather and produced by Mary Mapes—on the evening of September 8, 2004, it was given the anodyne title “For the Record,” as though it constituted little more than a disinterested historical footnote. In reality, the story was a bold fabrication about President George W. Bush’s long-ago service in the Texas National Guard, intended to damage him in his campaign for reelection against John Kerry. Within hours of the broadcast, after CBS News posted online PDF copies of four memos highlighted in the segment, the story began to fall apart. The memos looked phony. By the following evening, CBS ...
