Retired Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen Jr., the 1st African-American Marine Corps aviator and the 1st African-American Marine Corps general, served during the Korean War in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. During his career, he flew more than 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 hours. Frank E. Petersen Jr., who became the first black Marine Corps pilot and general officer, took the Navy's entrance exam in 1950. The questions, he later recalled, were "relatively unremarkable." The petty officer third class overseeing the test called him a few days later, asking, "Would you mind retaking the examination?" It was not hard for the future three-star general to decode the ...

The Daily Telegraph has learned that “police reportedly confiscated a gay pride flag” from the apartment of Vester Lee Flanagan Wednesday. In an apparent hate crime, Flanagan is the 41 year-old black journalist who murdered two white Virginia reporters on live television Wednesday morning before turning his gun on himself. In a manifesto faxed to ABC News, Flanagan, an Obama-supporter, claimed that his motive involved a “race war.” Flanagan was black and gay and apparently angered by the fact that he had been a victim of racism and homophobia at the hands of “black men and white women.” Both of Flanagan’s intended victims were straight. The gay pride ...

Carly Fiorina camp goes to war with the RNC The Republican businesswoman is crying foul over possibly being left off the next main debate stage. The RNC’s response — tough luck. By Steven Shepard 8/26/15 8:38 AM EDT Updated 8/26/15 10:41 PM EDT The first GOP presidential candidate to go to war publicly with the Republican National Committee is not Donald Trump. It’s Carly Fiorina. Faced with the very real possibility that she will again be relegated to a lower-tier debate, Fiorina’s campaign is going after the RNC and the news organization the committee picked to host the next debate, CNN. What has ensued is a tense back-and-forth, with Fiorina’s camp ...

Last week in Colorado, The Man gave the finger to The Man. Reps. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) shared an illegal meal at Denver’s Jezebel restaurant. On the menu? Raw milk, hemp scones, kombucha, and non-USDA-inspected steak and eggs. All of those foods are heavily regulated or illegal for purchase, but the representatives skirted the law by bringing their own fare, giving new meaning to the term BYOB (bring your own banned foods). Office of Rep. Jared Polis The purpose of the meal was to bring attention to a series of bills that would loosen a handful of food regulations and restrictions. The representatives are co-sponsors of the Milk ...

Surprisingly, there are a growing number of people in law enforcement who are beginning to rethink prohibition. One the leading groups of law enforcers working to end the drug war is LEAP or Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. According to their official website, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition is an international 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization of criminal justice professionals who bear personal witness to the wasteful futility and harms of our current drug policies. LEAP started with five police officers in 2002 and now has over 150,000 active and retired police officers, judges, prosecutors, other law enforcement professions and supporters in 120 countries, This week, Howard ...
Feds Go Door-To-Door To Inform Gun Owners Rights Not Absolute

Thank God criminals follow laws – otherwise we might be in trouble. This has always been the traditional attitude of government in regards to gun restrictions. It is important to note that everybody believes in gun rights. – It is just a question of who has those rights. So-called “gun-control supporters” don’t support the absence of guns in society, they support gun ownership being monopolized and centralized in the hands of the state and their enforcers(police). By criminalizing individuals 2nd Amendment right to defend themselves, governemnt exempts itself from its own rules and faces no repercussions. This is certainly the case in victim disarmament areas like ...

When I saw this: Alleged shooter Vester Lee Flanagan is apparently tweeting about the shooting of WDBJ news crew: ‘Alison made racist comments’ – @bryce_williams7 I knew we were dealing with another Disgruntled Minority Massacre, a term we use for the situation where a black employee gets upset by “racism”, and bursts into his workplace and kills his boss and/or fellow employees.

Someone using the name of Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden had a profile on the Ashley Madison dating website for extramarital affairs, Breitbart News has learned. Hunter Biden tells Breitbart News that the account is not his, but rather was created by one of America’s enemies to discredit him. He thinks it could have been due to his sitting on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, which outraged supporters of Vladimir Putin’s Russian regime. Robert Hunter Biden, known colloquially as Hunter, is a business executive, a husband, a father, and reportedly one of Joe Biden’s closest advisers as the vice president considers launching a presidential campaign. ...

MANCHESTER, NH—Describing the current Republican frontrunner’s frankness on the topic as a welcome change of pace in the crowded race, female supporters of Donald Trump told reporters Monday they simply felt more comfortable backing a candidate who is openly hostile and belittling toward them. “It’s actually pretty refreshing to have a candidate who’s willing to come right out and disrespect women to our faces, rather than trying to conceal their actual views or spin their policy stances as if they’re beneficial to women,” said Trump supporter Laura Coyle, adding that she likes how she knows exactly where she stands with the billionaire due to his ...
State Dept. Never Told DHS About Hillary's Server Despite The Rules

The drip, drip, drip, of Hillary Clinton's scandals continues. Here's another federal government ruled that Hillary may have broke. Since 2010 all federal government agencies are mandated to submit a list of systems, vulnerabilities and configuration issues to DHS every 30 days. DHS then performs a "cyberscope audit" to ensure security. DHS says they have no record of State Dept. giving info for Clinton server audit, despite rules Based on a Freedom of Information Act request submitted June, DHS has no record of whether Clinton's State Department was in compliance (shocking I know). Clinton headed the agency from 2009-2013. The DHS established the "Continuous ...

Man Takes Down Drone With T-Shirt, Ends Up in Jail

By Joe Wright The small town of Deer Trail, Colorado made national news in 2013 when they announced the bold proposal of offering residents bounties of $100 for every drone shot down via official drone hunting licenses that would be made available. The proposal understandably drew the ire of the FAA who stated that those engaging in such activity would be severely penalized. As Mac Slavo wrote at the time: Phillip Steel, who authored the original proposal in Deer Trail, Colorado says his ordinance is a “pre-emptive strike” against what he calls a “virtual prison” being created through continued expansion of the surveillance state.

Christopher Duntsch Long before he faced lawsuits and criminal charges, a North Texas neurosurgeon emailed one of his employees. “I am ready to leave the love and kindness and goodness and patience that I mix with everything else that I am and become a cold blooded killer,” Christopher Duntsch wrote. To authorities, the chilling Dec. 11, 2011, email points to Duntsch’s mind-set in the months before he “intentionally, knowingly and recklessly” botched spinal surgeries, severely injuring four people and killing one woman, Floella Brown, who died in July 2012. The email was among new evidence Dallas County prosecutors presented against Duntsch at a hearing ...

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- The Kentucky Republican Party has agreed to hold a presidential caucus for Rand Paul - but only if he shows them the money.The party's executive committee approved a proposal on Saturday to hold a presidential caucus on March 5. The plan would let Paul run for president and re-election to his Senate seat at the same time without violating state law that bans candidates from appearing on the ballot twice in the same election.But the caucus could cost as much as $500,000, and the Republican Party has less than $170,000 in cash on hand according to its latest disclosure report. In a letter to party officials earlier this week, Paul claimed to have transferred $250 ...
US balance sheet is a disaster that Congress can't fix

The vast majority of Americans are likely unaware of it, but the U.S. Treasury blew past the country’s statutory debt limit quite a while ago – in mid-March – in fact. That means that since then, and for several months into the future, the Treasury has been and will be relying on what are called “extraordinary measures” to pay the government’s obligations. It’s a term that has become plainly ridiculous in recent years because the number of debt ceiling crises lawmakers have forced the country into have made such measures, such as delaying required pension fund payments, anything but extraordinary. When Congress comes back next month, there’s a good ...
Donald Trump Can Seal The Deal In New Hampshire If He Campaigns Against The Refugee Racket

Many people have complimented me on correctly predicting on VDARE.com back in April that not only would Donald Trump run for President, but that he would be the only genuine immigration patriot in the race. I have to admit: it’s probably the only accurate political prediction I have ever made. But given that I am on something of a roll, let me make another. Donald Trump has shot into the lead in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary, to be held February 1. He can easily seal the deal if he emphasizes the most Kafkaesque aspect of immigration policy that afflicts the American public and, in particular, northern New England: the Refugee Racket. Yes, illegal immigration is a problem ...
Exclusive: New Jersey paid $720 million to exit all swaps under Christie

New Jersey has terminated all of its interest rate swap agreements under Governor Chris Christie, paying banks $720 million to unravel $4.2 billion of swaps and wiping from its books a potentially big, unpredictable liquidity risk. The derivative deals, which states and cities use to lower financing costs by hedging interest rate changes, have caused financial turmoil for some, most recently Detroit and Chicago. The deals either soured when rates did not move as expected or led to big termination fees triggered by credit rating downgrades. In New Jersey, another credit cut would likely have left some of its debt just one notch above the level that would trigger swap termination payments. ...

While perhaps too early for Democratic elites to panic and begin bailing out on Hillary Clinton’s campaign as a doomed vessel, they would be well advised not to miss any of the lifeboat drills. For Hillary’s campaign is taking on water at a rate that will sink her, if the leakage does not stop, and soon. Initially, the issue of Hillary and the emails she sent and received as Secretary Of State seemed too wonkish, too complex, too trivial a matter to sink a candidacy as strong as hers. Her nomination was considered as assured as any since Vice President Richard Nixon ran unopposed in 1960. But since it was revealed that as secretary of state she used a private server for her ...

About 1 in 2,000 babies born in the US are considered intersex.Pam and Mark Crawford of Greenville, SC, adopted MC when he was just 20 months old and then considered female. Born with "true hermaphroditism" or both male and female anatomy—including a penis, vagina, testicle, and ovarian tissue—doctors had performed surgery to remove MC's male anatomy two months before the Crawfords took him home. The surgery wasn't so unusual. An estimated one in 2,000 babies born in the US are considered "intersex," somewhere between male and female, and thousands of surgeries designed to give them either male or female anatomy are performed each year. But in the case ...

An Immigration Lawyer On The Truth About Birthright Citizenship By David Leopold TPM Cafe: Opinion Published August 19, 2015, 9:55 AM EDT GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s immigration plan, released on Sunday, can be easily summarized in the candidate’s own four words: “They have to go.” The plan is little more than a nativist wish list, with a bold kicker: an end to so-called “birthright citizenship,” the constitutional rule that a child born in and under the jurisdiction of the U.S. is a citizen. This position is not new. Over the years, there have been attempts by restrictionists to challenge birthright citizenship. In the 1800s, the focus was Chinese ...

Birthers Say These 4 GOP Candidates May Be Ineligible To Be President By Catherine Thompson TPM Muckraker Published August 17, 2015, 6:00 AM EDT The birther movement has come home to roost as the Republican presidential primary heats up. In a column published last week on the conspiracy theory website WND, author Jack Cashill noted that questions had been raised about whether four of the 17 candidates in the GOP field were really "natural born citizens" and therefore eligible to run for President. Ted Cruz has already dealt with those questions publicly -- the Canadian-born senator from Texas renounced his citizenship with that country last summer in anticipation of a 2016 ...
Bobby Jindal to counter pro-choice protest at governor’s mansion — by screening videos from Planned Parenthood sting outside

A bit of political counterprogramming so masterful I dare call it “Breitbartesque.” I just hope he doesn’t expect these people to be shamed by the idea of cutting into a baby’s face to remove its brain while its heart is still beating. Anyone who cared about that wouldn’t be out to protest to begin with. The videos, some of which include graphic footage of abortion workers sorting through the dismembered arms, legs and other body parts of aborted babies as old as 20-weeks gestation, will show on an outdoor movie theater outside the Louisiana governor’s mansion. The pro-Planned Parenthood protest is set to take place at 4:30 CT. The screening of the videos ...
