California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law Monday that bans the word “alien” from the state’s labor laws. SB 432, introduced by State Sen. Tony Mendoza (D-Artesia), removes the term “alien,” previously defined as “any person who is not a born or fully naturalized citizen of the United States.” It also removed the state’s preference for hiring U.S. citizens on public works projects during periods of unemployment. The bill passed the State Senate unanimously. Mendoza said at the time the State Senate approved the bill that the term “alien” was “offensive,” adding: “It has no place in our laws and should not be the basis of ...

Mother Jones obtained more than 450 police department requests for armored tactical vehicles from the Pentagon. Did your police force request one? Browse all of them here. One year ago this week, hundreds of camouflaged officers in Ferguson, Missouri bore down on residents protesting the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown. Riot cops, their faces sometimes concealed by gas masks, fired off tear gas canisters, and as they stood on top of hulking, mine-resistant vehicles, they appeared to train their assault rifles on the crowds. On some nights, they greeted demonstrators with a storm of rubber bullets. Images of this chaos provoked a furious debate over the ...

Last Friday the Seneca, South Carolina, police department identified Lt. Mark Tiller as the officer who shot and killed 19-year-old Zachary Hammond in a Hardee's parking lot on July 26. Hammond, who was unarmed, was on his first date with 23-year-old Toni Morton, who was eating an ice cream cone in the front passenger seat of his car at the moment of the shooting. Morton was later charged with possessing 10 grams of marijuana. According to The New York Times, police had targeted her as part of "a sting operation." The Washington Post says "undercover agents set up the drug buy." Tiller claims he fired two shots in self-defense through the driver's side ...

Black pastors are calling on the Smithsonian Institution to remove a bust of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger from the National Portrait Gallery's "Struggle for Justice Exhibit" in Washington, D.C. The Smithsonian has fallen victim to the propaganda of abortion supporters, according to the group of black pastors who assert that while pro-choice activists praise Sanger as a hero, she was instead a woman who spoke at KKK rallies, advocated for "black eugenics" and wanted to "eliminate black births." In a letter sent to Smithsonian last Friday, 10 pastors representing a coalition of clergy known as Ministers Taking A Stand, which promotes ...

Apparently Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) is proud of their abortion and organ harvesting business. The following picture was taken at their Planned Parenthood location in Denver. The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released two videos featuring the medical director of PPRM, Dr. Savita Ginde. In the first, Dr. Ginde tells the actors posing as buyers for a human biologics company that she wants to charge per “tissue sample” because that will bring in the most money. She said, “I think the per-item [pricing] works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.” Then, in another video, Ginde says that they have to train ...

In January 2011, in the early days of the Arab Spring, strange activity began showing up on Tunisian protesters’ Facebook and Gmail pages — alarming an Internet activist who watched it all unfold from Washington. “Tunisian government harvesting usernames and passwords,” Robert Guerra warned on Twitter, linking to an article about mysterious hijackings of the protesters’ accounts. Within a day, Guerra’s phone rang: One of Hillary Clinton’s top digital advisers was asking how the State Department could help. Soon, at the department’s urging, U.S. tech companies added security protections for the protesters’ online messages, while Clinton’s ...

A supporter and former close adviser to Senator Rand Paul has been charged with hiding secret payments to secure the endorsement of an Iowa lawmaker during the 2012 presidential campaign of the senator’s father, former Representative Ron Paul, the Justice Department said on Wednesday. Jesse Benton, who was Ron Paul’s presidential campaign manager, is accused of paying more than $70,000 to Kent Sorenson, a former Iowa state senator, to win his support before the state’s caucuses in 2012. Mr. Sorenson had been backing Representative Michele Bachmann at the time but later switched to support Mr. Paul. The charges against Mr. Benton are the latest blow to Rand Paul’s ...

Pundits have largely deemed Thursday's debate a misstep for real estate mogul Donald Trump, but he may have won over billionaire investor Carl Icahn. The activist investor tweeted Friday afternoon that he had decided to accept a Trump offer for Treasury secretary. Still, he noted that "the methods of electing our corporate and political leaders have become completely dysfunctional."

TRUMP: I'm also not a fan... You know, the great Mike Wallace was a friend of mine. In fact, he did me on 60 Minutes. He was phenomenal, was a phenomenal on 60 Minutes, but he was a friend of mine. He was a tough cookie, and he was great, and the son is only a tiny fraction of Mike. Believe me, there's a big difference between Mike Wallace and Chris Wallace 'cause I watched him last night, you know, blood pouring out of his eyes, too. I said to myself, "What am I doing? I'm here in front of all these people, I'm doing Fox a favor by doing this show, and what am I doing?"

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is trying to intensify a fight with current Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump. Paul's campaign on Monday announced a conference call with reporters specifically dedicated to Trump. During that call, Paul slammed the real-estate magnate for conducting a substance-less presidential campaign and making derogatory comments about women. "The truth telling is bluster, the truth-telling is non-sequitur, self- aggrandizement, but is there really anything substantive coming out of saying that people are fat, people are stupid?" Paul said of Trump. Calling Trump a "fake conservative," Paul listed off the issues where Trump has ...

It's no secret that taxpayers foot the bill to house and feed inmates but lesser known is that the public pays for their sex changes as well. Two hundred inmates in federal custody and some in states' custody as well are in the process of switching sexes. Among the federal inmates undergoing a sex reassignment is Shaun Chapman, 29, from Philadelphia, who is serving time behind bars for mailing a death threat to a former president and charged with sending threatening letters to two more people including a federal prosecutor in Harrisburg. A judge asked Chapman at a hearing in late July the routine question of whether he used drugs or alcohol in the last 24 hours. Chapman told U.S. ...

Bush administration Huffington Post Posted: 08/10/2015 2:57 pm EDT Updated: 1 hour ago Focusing mainly on how many classified emails were on Hillary Clinton's illegal server misses a fundamental point: MOST of Secretary Clinton's emails would have been sensitive because she was the Secretary of State. For a foreign intelligence agency, being able to follow a virtual conversation between her and, say, President Obama, would have been worth it's weight in gold. Foreign intelligence services would not have been watching her ...

Levin asserted, “I think that we were all duped. The fact of the matter is that this was a ratings gambit.” Levin spoke to the program’s host, Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K.

Gov’t Funding of Planned Parenthood: A Dark History

After a spate of graphic video exposés showing Planned Parenthood profits off the sale of aborted children's body parts, New Hampshire earlier this week canceled a $640,000 contract with the abortion giant — an amount comprising one third of the organization's public funding in the state; the other two thirds (about $1.3 million) consists of federal money. New Hampshire was one among several states that cut state funding to the organization, while measures in the U.S. House and Senate to defund Planned Parenthood failed. As of today, the abortion giant continues to receive half a billion dollars in federal taxpayer money each year. The use of federal taxpayer ...

Republicans and their Democrat allies (henceforth referred to as Republicrats) have collectively thrown their hands up in the air, how can Donald Trump be the frontrunner? Especially after the GOP establishment (GOPe) has fired every weapon in their arsenal at him. Is he Superman, some comic hero who’s invincible? No, Republicrats, he’s just a guy who’s learned how to handle back-stabbing, control freaks such as yourselves. He’s not an “eye for an eye” guy, he’s more an ‘eye, tongue, nose, ear’ for an eye guy. He’s our kind of guy. And you can thank yourselves for the Trump phenomenon.You backed conservatives into a corner, left us with ...

One of the unique things about Republicans is that they pander to people who will never vote for them while ignoring or insulting voters who could easily be coaxed back into their fold. A perfect example: the GOP’s current rush to embrace “criminal justice reform.” What used to be called “law and order” issues were a cornerstone of the winning Republican agenda of the 1970s and 1980s. Presidents Nixon (1972) and Reagan (1984) won 67 percent and 64 of the white vote respectively by taking a tough stance against rioters and black criminals. These victories were made possible by working class white voters—often ethnic union members— who switched parties ...

Manuel Ramos, 41, the former Fullerton police officer who was ultimately acquitted after being tried for the beating and killing of Kelly Thomas, has been arrested once more—this time for domestic violence. Thomas—an unarmed, mentally-ill homeless man—was brutally beaten to death by Ramos and two fellow officers in the summer of 2011. Two of the officers—Ramos, as well as Jay Cicinelli—were tried and acquitted of the murder. From the beginning, the case received nationwide coverage. A slew of peaceful protests resulted from the several injustices that were committed in this gut-wrenching case of excessive violence and abuse of power. (adsbygoogle = ...

www.newsday.com More guns make Americans feel safer Americans are increasingly convinced that owning a gun makes them safer. A new Rasmussen poll found that an overwhelming majority of Americans (68 percent) "feel safer in a neighborhood where guns are allowed." And a series of polls by Gallup, the Pew Research Center, and ABC News and The Washington Post show similar results. But it isn't just what people say. They are clearly putting more stock in self- defense. Since 2007, the number of concealed-handgun permits has soared from 4.6 million to 12.8 million. A new study by the Crime Prevention Research Center finds that a record 1.7 million permits were issued in the ...
