Retired US Army General and the former Supreme Allied Commander of Europe for NATO Wesley Clark advocates rounding up “radicalized” and “disloyal” Americans and putting them in internment camps for the “duration” of the war on terror. “In World War II if someone supported Nazi Germany at the expense of the United States, we didn’t say that was freedom of speech, we put him in a camp, they were prisoners of war,” Clark told MSNBC. The difference is that World War II was a war declared under Article I, Section 8, Clause II of the Constitution whereas the war on terror is undeclared and thus illegal. Clark is in essence advocating a life sentence ...
Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database

A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.” Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites. This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama ...

Important people at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. want Jeb Bush to be the next U.S. president. And they’re giving him a lot of money to make it happen. More than 50 Goldman Sachs executives and employees gave the Republican more than $144,000 in the second quarter, with most of them sending $2,700, the maximum allowed, according to Federal Election Commission filings. The company that was the next-best source of money for the former Florida governor, Neuberger Berman, is run by George Walker, Bush’s second cousin. Employees at the money manager gave more than $63,000. It once was part of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., where Bush was an adviser. Goldman Sachs management committee ...

Methuen, MA — In what can only be described as a “see, I told you so” moment for those in the police accountability sector, a police department in Massachusetts has been caught in a perfidious hiring scheme. They were giving preference to job candidates who said they wouldn’t arrest fellow cops. In other words, the Methuen police department was only hiring cops who promised to be corrupt and cover for their fellow corrupt officers. According to the Boston Globe, A Civil Service Commission official wrote that he was dismayed to learn that the city gave higher points to applicants who said they wouldn’t arrest a family member or an officer they knew, while ...

In March, Esmeralda Rossi was in the shower when two cops came to the door. “I was in the shower,” Rossi said. “My daughter came to the shower and said there are two officers at the door. So I just grabbed a towel.” Rossi had committed no crime, the police had no warrant, and they were only responding to a call about an argument between her and her estranged husband. However, these cops acted like they were raiding the home of a mass murderer. Upon answering the door, Rossi was met by two police officers as she stood there in a towel. Not wanted to be gawked at while naked by two strangers, Rossi turned around to go put on some clothes. “It made me very ...

Despite the best efforts of some to sound the alarm, the nation is being locked down into a militarized, mechanized, hypersensitive, legalistic, self-righteous, goose-stepping antithesis of every principle upon which this nation was founded. All the while, the nation’s citizens seem content to buy into a carefully constructed, benevolent vision of life in America that bears little resemblance to the gritty, pain-etched reality that plagues those unfortunate enough to not belong to the rarefied elite. For those whose minds have been short-circuited into believing the candy-coated propaganda peddled by the politicians, here is an A-to-Z, back-to-the-basics primer of what life in the ...

Barack Obama scolded a reporter at his Wednesday briefing after getting a critical question about the nuclear deal with Iran. CBS News's Major Garrett pressed the president on the imprisonment of Americans in Iran. "As you well know, there are four Americans in Iran—three held on trumped-up charges, according to your administration, one whereabouts unknown. Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content, with all the fanfare around this deal, to leave the conscience of this nation, this strength of this nation, unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans?" Garrett asked. "I've gotta give you credit, Major, for how you craft those questions," ...

Comedian Eugene Mirman took out a full page ad in a local New Hampshire paper after he was ticketed by police in Portsmouth for "parking the wrong way." We covered a similar incident earlier this month where a cop told a woman there's "no excuse" for parking the wrong way, then proceeded to get the law wrong himself telling her it's "illegal" to film him, which is evidently perfectly excusable. If you can't see the image above, here's the full text: Dear Portsmouth, NH, and Especially the Parking Clerk’s Office, Last June I had a wonderful day walking around your historic downtown with my girlfriend.

D’Souza’s defense counsel Benjamin Brafman provided evidence to the court that the psychiatrist D’Souza was ordered to see found no indication of depression or reason for medication. In addition, the psychologist D’Souza subsequently consulted provided a written statement concluding there was no need to continue the consultation, ...

Another Court Loss for Obama’s Amnesty… Not That it Matters

If the rule of law still meant anything in Obama’s America, the President’s agenda of amnesty for illegal aliens would be in big trouble. It doesn’t, so the Administration just keeps pumping out amnesty documents, no matter how often federal courts order them to stop. Team Obama even stooped to flat-out lying to a federal judge about the need for a temporary injunction to stop the amnesty printing press. Later they made a “surprise filing” to the judge disclosing that their previous statements were false, and – whoopsie! – they had already tossed 100,000 amnesty packages out. So the news from Politico that “President Barack Obama appears likely to ...

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus called GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump Wednesday and pled with the real estate mogul – who’s soaring in the polls – to tone down his comments on immigration. But according to Trump’s campaign manager, Trump will not comply. Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said he was unaware of the exact contents of the phone call, but, “There’s no question in my mind that Mr. Trump’s fortitude on [immigration] will be unshaken, whether it’s a phone call from Reince Priebus or whether it’s [a business cutting its ties.]” Trump’s comments on illegal immigration have ...

'To Protect and to Serve...and to Overreact' If you're a police officer, Hollywood has blessed (or cursed) you with a rich history of role models, decades worth of fictionalized examples to follow on TV and in film. Today, Joe Friday is frowning beneath his fedora. Sonny Crockett just lowered his Ray-Bans to take a second, quizzical look. Even Detective Jimmy McNulty is appalled, and when he isn't inventing serial killers, he's drunk. All because a Virginia cop pulled his gun and killed an aggressive miniature Dachshund that was carrying a menacing 12 pounds on its stubby 11-year-old legs. The Danville (Va.) Police Department officer was walking back to his squad car ...

The New Totalitarians Are Here Totalitarians want their rule, and their belief system, to be accepted and self-sustaining - even if it takes bludgeoning every last citizen who disagrees. By Tom Nichols July 6, 2015 There’s a basic difference in the traditions of political science between “authoritarians” and “totalitaritarians.” People throw both of these words around, but as is so often the case, they’re using words they may not always understand. They have real meaning, however, and the difference between them is important. Simply put, authoritarians merely want obedience, while totalitarians, whose rule is rooted in an ideology, want obedience and ...

DaJuawn Wallace was on a late night drug store run to get medicine for his sick girlfriend when he was targeted for a traffic stop. Saginaw Valley State University Police Officer Leon Wilson had seen a car driving on the sidewalk on the SVSU campus earlier that night. Despite not knowing the make nor the model of the car, Wilson decided to pull over Wallace, citing that he “fit the description.” “I was uncertain about the make and the model of the vehicle, but this vehicle looked like the same color and was leaving the immediate area,” Wilson wrote. As Wilson turned on his lights to pull Wallace over, Wallace decided that it would be far safer to wait to pull over until ...

It was four years ago today that Fullerton, California police sadistically beat a homeless man to death. In his final moments of life, before he lost consciousness, Kelly Thomas cried out for his father 31 times. At least 26 times he yelled “help me” and cried “I’m sorry” 15 times during the lethal beating. Thomas responded “OK” to police, to tell them he was complying, a full 29 times. He politely used words like “Sir” and “Please” when he spoke to the officers while they were beating him to death. In spite of the fact that this beating was captured on vide, the two former Fullerton California police officers walked free, found ...

By Amanda Warren Washington Post has decided to take details of officer-involved shootings and compile this year's data to detect patterns. One pattern that soon became clear: the significant amount of mentally unstable people who are shot on site. Last year, I wrote about one such instance in "Naked? Acting Weird? On-site Execution by Police." I only wanted to show that strange behavior does not warrant a threat or a reason to kill (especially when considering that there are still less-than-lethal methods available). It looks like Washington Post agrees for the most part, when it comes a volatile situation possibly made worse by volatile reactions.From the Washington Post ...

Houston, TX — In November of 2013, John Van Trump was accused of sexually assaulting a girl younger than six-years-old on or before July 2010. Since the girl was younger than six, his charge was considered a super crime. The super crime law came from a tragic case out of Florida which eventually became known as Jessica’s Law. Jessica’s law and the Texas law like it, are designed to protect potential victims and reduce a sexual offender’s ability to re-offend by punishing the perpetrators with steep sentences. Trump was facing a minimum sentence of 25 years in jail and the potential for life. “Unfortunately, we are going to see a lot more of ...

If there ever was a week in our Union’s history demonstrating that the national government must always be suspected of being the enemy of Americans, their liberty, and their social cohesion, this past week surely was the one. Barack Obama and his party redoubled the national government’s marked preference for Black Americans, and not only by pretending that more Blacks are killed by racist Whites, than Whites by racist Blacks. As troubling, they also encouraged and then unleashed what can only be described as a lynch mob bent on destroying a historical symbol that means — and should mean — something important, tangible, and worth honoring to many more Americans than the ...

The complaint points out that Do has run two legitimate businesses in NYC for several years, and not once has he been arrested or even charged for violations of controlled substances laws. Nevertheless, the DEA took ...
