The Puzzle of Identifying Future Mass Murderers Cannot Be Solved by Psychiatry, Background Checks, or Red Flag Laws

Writing in The New York Times, psychiatrist Richard Friedman notes that "experienced psychiatrists fare no better than a roll of the dice at predicting violence." He therefore thinks it is unrealistic to rely on the mental health system to identify future mass shooters and stop them before they kill anyone, as Donald Trump has suggested. Yet Friedman argues that "more effective policies might involve gun control, including enhancing background checks and expanding so-called extreme risk protection orders, which would allow law enforcement to temporarily remove firearms from people deemed potentially violent."Those policies, of course, rely on identifying people who ...
U.S. Says Iran Trying To Trick Ships To Enter Iranian Waters So They Can Be Seized

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration, Iran is upping the ante in its confrontation with the West, tricking oil tankers into thinking Iranian vessels are U.S. and British warships and prompting them to enter Iranian waters, where they can be seized. The Maritime Administration’s website stated: Vessels operating in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman may also encounter GPS interference, bridge-to-bridge communications spoofing, and/or other communications jamming with little to no warning. Since May 2019, the following maritime incidents have occurred in this region: Six attacks against commercial vessels; Shoot-down of U.S. ...

WE THE ONES WITH DEMENTIA? ARE WE THE ONES WHO ARE AGING? REALLY??? Recently, I went to McDonald's and I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' I replied. 'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' 'That's right.' So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets. (Unbelievable but sadly true...) (Must have been the same one I asked for sweetener and she said they didn't have any, only Splenda and ...
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 'I Have a Lot of Common Ground With Many Libertarian Viewpoints'

(Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call/Newscom) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) spends much of her time in the public eye separating herself from the pack in Washington, D.C. Sometimes that means criticizing the GOP, other times, lamenting what she sees as the sheepishness of her own party. But in an Instagram live stream last week, the democratic socialist congresswoman told viewers that she does find some commonality with libertarians."I actually think I have a lot of common ground with many libertarian viewpoints in [the Republican] party," Ocasio-Cortez said, emphasizing her stances on immigration, the military, and privacy rights. Her admission comes not long after she and ...
8chan: ex-users of far-right site flock to new homes across internet

Former members of 8chan have scattered across the internet after the far-right site was shut down over the weekend, finding new homes in other rightwing sites, on encrypted messaging services, and on major social media platforms. 8chan went dark this week after the security service provider Cloudflare terminated the extremist messaging board as one of its clients following the El Paso shooting. The anonymous nature of 8chan can make it difficult to track where its followers are going, said Joan Donovan, the director and lead researcher of the Technology and Social Change Research Project at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School.

Unconstitutional and Tyrannical Red Flag Gun Confiscation Laws Are Coming FAST

Within minutes of the tragic mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, gun control fanatics were predictably not letting a crisis go to waste by calling for extreme measures of gun control. The usual suspects were at it – Soros organizations, MSM, left-wing extremists, and Democratic Party members – but, interestingly enough, they were joined by many Republican lawmakers as well. While Lindsey Graham, a Senator who has scarcely seen a right in the Bill of Rights he hasn’t wanted to carve up for dinner, is no shocker, others in staunchly red states have also joined the call for stricter gun control measures. Most surprising, however, is that President Donald Trump has jumped on ...

from the twist:-Amazon-will-just-give-it-to-them-if-no-one-cooperates deptThu, Aug 8th 2019 12:16pm — Tim Cushing To be part of your local law enforcement's surveillance network, all you need is a little tech from Amazon. Amazon's Ring doorbell/camera is being handed out to cops, who can then give them to citizens with the implication the recipients of this corporate/government largesse will deliver recordings upon request. Every Ring installed is another contributor to this ad hoc network of cameras -- something both cops and Amazon have access to. Amazon is looking to corner two markets at one time, roping in both the public and private sectors with an eye on dominating ...
The Grass GESTAPO Is Out of Control: 30K in Fines and Potential Foreclosure for a Too-Long Lawn

A few weeks ago, I noticed a woman standing in my neighbor’s yard doing something I thought was pretty damn strange: she was measuring blades of grass with a tape measure. Then I noticed the city truck parked on the street. Turns out, the woman was with codes compliance or whatever they call it…apparently, her job is to drive around looking for reasons to harass and extort people for things like tall grass. When I realized who she was and what she was doing, my next thoughts were “Are there not real problems in this city that need attention? There are people who drive around and measure grass for a living? And these employees are paid with taxpayer money…to extort ...

"Look Mommy where Uncle Joe puts his hand. He gives me candy!" Now that Creepy Joe Biden thinks he has put to rest all the cringy questions about his grabby hands, he has reverted to one of his old-time shticks: middle-class Joe. Champion of the masses. Hero of the hoi polloi. A six-term U.S. senator and two-term vice president, which equates to 44 back-slapping, log-rolling, favor-trading years in Washington, this decrepit Beltway swamp-dweller wants flyover Americans to believe that he's really just like you and me. To which I can only reply with one hearty syllable: HA! Reality-based reporting and informed commentary since the rollout of Biden 2020 has rightly focused ...

On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to Congress on White House Office Personnel. It includes the name, status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees. The report also said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his salary; instead he donated it to an amazing cause. The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving money. The total annual White House salaries under Trump are $35.8 million vs. $60.9 million under Obama, a savings of $25.1 million. Here are some other key findings: There are 140 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies. There are ...

They are also intended to "provide a ...

(President Trump poses with two Democrat Communist assholes in Dayton, Ohio) President Donald Trump has repeatedly told lawmakers and aides in private conversations that he is open to endorsing extensive background checks in the wake of two mass shootings, prompting a warning from the National Rifle Association and concerns among White House aides, according to lawmakers and administration officials. Trump, speaking to reporters Wednesday before visiting Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, where weekend shootings left 31 dead, said there "was great appetite for background checks" amid an outcry over government inaction in the face of repeated mass shootings.

Grown Man Fractures Boy’s Skull for “Disrespecting” National Anthem

Political arguments have become more ridiculous than this woman explaining what ‘miles per hour’ really means. Everywhere you look, people on both sides of the aisle look for any reason to scream and shout that their opinion is the right one. But while many don’t agree with the national anthem protests that grabbed the sports world’s attention in recent years, every American should believe in showing respect during the Star-Spangled Banner. “Respect” takes different forms. Military veterans salute the flag and regular citizens are asked to stand and face the flag. Another recommended sign of respect, even though thousands upon thousands of men and women ...
Representative Joaquin Castro “Redflags” Trump Supporters for Immediate Targeting….

Democrat Congressman Joaquin Castro, represents a district that encompasses San Antonio, Texas. Using his twitter account today, Representative Castro posted a list of local donors to the Donald Trump campaign directing his followers to target those ordinary citizens. [Tweet here] Pay close attention to this current method of political targeting; and overlay the law of unintended consequences to the current gun control discussion surrounding “redflag” laws. Ultimately what far-left Joaquin Castro is doing is exactly what will happen when arbitrary rules of defining people for targeting are pushed into law. History is full of examples where this exact process was used. None of ...

An Ohio state lawmaker who blamed mass shootings on legal marijuana, gay marriage and "drag queen advocates" is sticking by her comments despite calls for her resignation, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Candice Keller, a state representative from Middletown, Ohio, originally posted the comments to her personal Facebook page on Sunday. The post came just hours after a gunman opened fire at a bar in Dayton, Ohio, early Sunday morning, killing nine people and leaving dozens more injured.

Op-Ed by Scott Lazarowitz More mass shootings again. In El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. So once again Donald Trump and his fellow politicians are turning to more fascist proposals to solve the issue of these young people shooting up places and killing people. More gun regulations, background checks and “Red Flag” laws, none of which will help to prevent the violent episodes. The dysfunction going on now is mainly a result of government intrusions and government interventionism in the first place, so just how will more government intrusions and interventions solve any problems? They won’t. Bureaucrats will only make things worse, as they are now. Why would we want to trust ...
Four New Laws Expand Colorado Marijuana Markets Despite Federal Prohibition

By Michael Maharrey DENVER, Colo. (Aug. 6, 2019) – Last week, four Colorado laws that will help expand the legal marijuana market in the state went into effect despite federal prohibition. House Bill 1230 (HB1230) legalizes limited on-site sales and consumption of marijuana in licensed, public establishments. These include restaurants, hotels, music venues and other businesses. Dispensaries will be able to open “tasting rooms.” The law also authorizes marijuana tour buses and limos. Establishments running the vehicles can’t sell cannabis, but marijuana consumption is allowed in licensed tour buses and limos in a “bring-your-own-weed” system. House Bill 1234 ...

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”—H.L. Mencken We’ve been down this road many times before. If the government is consistent about any one thing, it is this: it has an unnerving tendency to exploit crises and use them as opportunities for power grabs under the guise of national security. As David C. Unger, a foreign affairs editorial writer for the New York Times, explains, “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have given way to permanent crisis management: to policing the planet and fighting preventative wars of ...

A pair of Bronx men are suing the city after a cop smashed a street memorial for their dead friend in a caught-on-video act of cruelty. Jonathan Rodriguez and Willy Lopez said they were paying tribute to their dearly departed pal when NYPD Capt.

Rodriguez and Lopez were marking the four-year anniversary of the death of a friend killed in a motorcycle accident in the Dominican Republic when Melendez and other officers approached, said their lawyer Richard Barton. The men were on Morris Avenue between 175th and 176th streets next to the memorial of candles, cards, letters, a ...

Candor, courage, consistency, and compassion define this man who will go down in the annals of history as America’s greatest statesman.

Tensions rose and stocks fell on Monday as the trade war between the U.S. and China escalated to a dangerous new level
There have been three major developments in the past week—all of which have moved the two sides farther apart, marking a clear end to what had been a months-long truce and stoking fears of a recession if two of the world's largest markets can't work out their problems. On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced a new round of tariffs hitting about $300 billion of un-tariffed imports from China. China responded on Sunday by announcing that it would cut off all purchases of agricultural goods from the United States. On Monday evening, the U.S. ...

It takes about five minutes of research to connect Patrick Crusius to the CIA and its notorious MKUltra mind control program. John Bryan Crusius is Patrick’s father. He is a counselor involved in “Infused Being Therapy” in Dallas, Texas. He specializes in trauma and PTSD. Crusius’ web page notes he worked for the Timberlawn Mental Health System in Dallas. Timberlawn closed down in early 2018. The psychiatric hospital was investigated for patient abuse, including rape. Timberlawn is owned by Universal Health Services, a Fortune 500 corporation in the hospital management business. In 2016, Buzzfeed ran an expose showing the corporation is responsible for ...
