Police probing alleged corruption in Nevada Legislature By SCOTT SONNER Associated Press RENO, Nev. (AP) - Las Vegas police have confirmed they are investigating allegations of corruption in the Nevada Legislature involving an extortion attempt aimed at a Republican assemblyman who has drawn criticism from more conservative lawmakers. Assemblyman Chris Edwards of Las Vegas was identified as the alleged victim in the case in a statement released Saturday by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Intelligence Section. Detectives served a search warrant Saturday morning at a Las Vegas residence as part of an investigation that began in December when Edwards was ...

Paying the Price for Defending Your Troops (Lt Lorance - 20 Years in Prison for Killing Terrorists) Imagine this: You take command of an Army platoon stationed near a "Taliban-influenced" village in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The area has been described as a "hotbed of enemy activity," and unfortunately, your platoon has lost 10 percent of its men (including the former platoon leader) within the last couple months to insurgent attacks. You are familiar with intelligence that suggests motorcycles--specifically red motorcycles-- have been used in the area as enemy getaway vehicles, as well as being a vehicle of choice to implant IEDs. They are also used by suicide ...
“Hate Crime” Protection For Heroes?

Should it be illegal – a crime in and of itself – to dislike cops? The Fraternal Order of Police – the union for cops – thinks it ought to be. It is officially demanding that cops – already a protected (and entitled) class – be further set apart from ordinary folks by passing legislation that would enable prosecutors to pursue additional “hate crimes” charges against any not-cop who is accused of voicing anti-cop sentiments while, say, “resisting arrest” by attempting to ward off the wood shampoo being administered by a cop. Or in the course of committing any other crime involving one of the state’s enforcers of the laws where ...

Medicare fraud is widespread. One of the chief beneficiaries of this fraud is the hospital industry. That is why the hospital lobbyists are working to kill the Medicare fraud identification effort, the Recovery Audit Contractor Program. It’s worth $50 billion to the American Hospital Association. That’s $50 billion of your tax dollars which goes to hospital bottom lines. (From Red State) RACs was designed to identify and correct Medicare improper payments and has become the bane of the existence of the hospital lobby, the chief beneficiary of improper payments from Medicare. Unlike other anti-waste programs, RACs has been so effective it has become a target of lobbyists ...
Truth revealed: McCain’s ‘moderate rebels’ in Syria ARE ISIS

Poor John McCain and Lindsey Graham, Washington’s real first couple. They only want to arm the ‘moderate opposition’ in Syria. Three years on, how come their master plan isn’t working, while ISIS has grown so strong? Despite what media lauded as, “the largest demonstration in France’s history – bigger than liberation at the end of WWII!” (can you rightly compare the two), the Paris Attacks are fading fast into the rear view mirror. The media went to great lengths to reinforce the scary prospect of the ‘ISIS in Europe’, even though there is spurious evidence to suggest that’s true. Nonetheless, evidence never stopped the media from ...

Obama SOTU Declares 'Workers Don't Need Choice'! Posted on January 22, 2015 by Onan Coca I’m sure the average American worker will be happy to learn that their President doesn’t think they need to have access to choice on “right to work” issues. All that American workers really need is a union to pay their dues to. I’m also betting that the fact that most unions are supportive of the Democrat agenda has nothing to do with President Obama’s ‘choice’ to stand against worker choice. (Sarcasm) The honest truth of the matter is that the modern Democrat Party doesn’t care about what the worker wants because the worker doesn’t ...

SEOUL, South Korea — While North Korea draws world attention with spectacular and seemingly bizarre actions like the hacking of Sony’s computers or outbursts of bellicose rhetoric, Pyongyang has quietly initiated a round of reforms aimed at liberalizing the economy. ~~~SNIP~~~ The “May 30 Measures,” as they’ve come to be known, envision the significant reduction of state control of the economy and a dismantling of central planning. Managers of state enterprises will be allowed to purchase items on a free market, making deals with other enterprises or even private businesses. They will be given the right to fire and hire workers, and pay them as much as they want. ...

Animal Welfare at Risk in Experiments for Meat Industry At a remote research center on the Nebraska plains, scientists are using surgery and breeding techniques to re-engineer the farm animal to fit the needs of the 21st-century meat industry. The potential benefits are huge: animals that produce more offspring, yield more meat and cost less to raise. There are, however, some complications. Pigs are having many more piglets — up to 14, instead of the usual eight — but hundreds of those newborns, too frail or crowded to move, are being crushed each year when their mothers roll over. Cows, which normally bear one calf at a time, have been retooled to have twins and triplets, ...

TransCanada Corp. (TRP) was sued by Nebraska landowners in a new bid to block the Keystone XL pipeline a week after the state’s highest court rebuffed an attempt to void the approved path across the state, a leg that would complete the route from Alberta tar sands to Gulf Coast refineries. Dual complaints were filed Friday against the Calgary-based company in state courts in York and O’Neill, Nebraska, by David Domina, the lawyer whose prior effort to halt construction of the 1,179-mile (1,897-kilometer) conduit was defeated by a cadre of judges who ruled his clients hadn’t established their legal right to sue. The earlier lawsuit was aimed at now-former Republican Governor ...
WHITE HOUSE CLAIMS POWER TO REGULATE, TAX INTERNET WITHOUT CONGRESS

The White House dropped a bombshell on Thursday by announcing that FCC already has the authority to take over regulating and taxing the Internet without Congressional approval. Under “network neutrality” proceedings, the FCC could extend its 16.1% fee on interstate telecommunications services and relay fees to the Internet. The action would more than double the “universal service” revenue it collected in 2014, from $8 billion to $16 billion. Although Congress has mandated the general nature of the federal universal service fund and telecommunications relay services, it is the FCC that has the sole authority to set the budget size and the fee structure to perform its ...

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry has dipped into his campaign coffers to spend more than $1 million on an all-star roster of lawyers hired to defend him against a felony indictment alleging he abused his power last year, according to state data made public Thursday. The records detail for the first time just how much that legal dream team is costing Perry, who delivered a farewell speech Thursday and will officially leave office next week after 14 years as governor. He had originally used state taxpayer money to defend himself in the case, racking up at least $80,000 in legal expenses for one lawyer. But Perry eventually bowed to public pressure, changing course days after being indicted and ...

Oh please. A promising industry betrayed by the behavior of its customers—that’s the story of the red-light camera business. There has never been any scientific evidence that "red light cameras" improve traffic safety. Zero. I will note that the idea that this "product" paid for itself was utter nonsense. It did no such thing -- it instead stole funds from motorists. The idea that it was "cost-effective" is utter and complete crap; by definition this is impossible as an officer that issues a ticket for a blown red light puts all the funds into the city or other government entity involved where these "camera systems" do no such thing. ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Massie issued these reasons to support a new candidate for Speaker of the House: For years I watched Washington from afar and suspected that something was broken. Why is it that so many people approve of their congressman, yet they consistently disapprove of Congress? During my first two years as a congressman I discovered a significant source of the dysfunction. I watched the House Leadership: • Schedule a fiscal crisis in a lame duck session on the last legislative day before Christmas to get maximum leverage over rank and file members, • Mislead members into thinking that a vote on an unpopular bill was postponed, only to then conduct a rushed ...

“You’re either a cop or little people.”—Police captain Harry Bryant in Blade Runner For those of us who have managed to survive 2014 with our lives intact and our freedoms hanging by a thread, it has been a year of crackdowns, clampdowns, shutdowns, showdowns, shootdowns, standdowns, knockdowns, putdowns, breakdowns, lockdowns, takedowns, slowdowns, meltdowns, and never-ending letdowns. We’ve been held up, stripped down, faked out, photographed, frisked, fracked, hacked, tracked, cracked, intercepted, accessed, spied on, zapped, mapped, searched, shot at, tasered, tortured, tackled, trussed up, tricked, lied to, labeled, libeled, leered at, shoved aside, saddled ...
We Should Thank Those Who Torture (Michael Reagan)

Says Michael Reagan, the son of conservative god Ronald Reagan. “We shouldn’t be second-guessing and beating up on the CIA, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and all the other men and women who’ve helped to keep us safe for the last 14 years. We should be thanking them.” He especially likes it when someone’s genitals are put in a vice. Guess he never read what his father said when he signed the Convention Against Torture in 1988: “Ratification of the Convention by the United States, will clearly express United States opposition to torture, an abhorrent practice unfortunately prevalent in the world today.” I wonder how many unsolved crimes Michael Reagan would ...

According to Lipetzky, the decision likely stems from evidence not strong enough to produce a ...

Minneapolis Principals Not Allowed to Suspend Black Students, Only White Ones

The Minneapolis, Minnesota, school system has a big problem. According to Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson and the Justice Department, the vast majority of its 2,300 teachers are racists. To solve this problem, Johnson says the district must implement racism against white and Asian students. It is part of President Barack Obama and the Justice Department’s new protocols to combat racism. But does it really make sense to try to solve a perceived racism problem in teachers by institutionalizing racism against innocent students? Does using racism to solve any kind of problem make sense? Here’s what is happening: Black students in Minneapolis schools are 10 times more likely than ...
