The father of an American Christian, killed by a remote tribe on an isolated island he was looking to evangelise to, has criticised the "extreme Christianity" which pushed his child to a "not unexpected end". Dr Patrick Chau has been speaking to the Guardian, months after John Allen Chau died near North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean. Explaining that his son's missionary work had been a contentious issue before he died, he said: "John is gone because the Western ideology overpowered my [Confucian] influence." "If you have [anything] positive to say about religion, l wish not to see or hear it." He went on to speak about his difficulty ...

EXCERPT: BOOKER: “And I hope you'll go back and watch the Kavanaugh hearings because that was one of my prouder moments sticking up for people. And when I was threatened to be thrown out of the Senate, I told the senator that did that, 'Bring it.' Another senator stood up and said, 'If you are going to throw Cory Booker out, throw me into the pit as well.' And that senator, I looked at them and I said, 'Wow, that was like an 'I am Spartacus' moment.' He stepped forward and said, 'Anything happens to Cory happens to me.'" BEHAR: "Who was that?"

He jumped from hotel balcony into airport atrium area, police say ORLANDO, Fla. - A Transportation Security Administration officer was killed Saturday morning after jumping from a hotel balcony into the atrium of Orlando International Airport, authorities said. The incident caused the Federal Aviation Administration to briefly ground all flights, causing delays and massive lines at security checkpoints, which were closed because of the suicide. Paramedics transported the man, who was in his 40s, to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police called the suicide an isolated incident and said reports of other security issues were false. "We are working closely with our ...

The federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is silently and gradually converting local police agencies into regional subdivisions of the surveillance state. Typically, we get only occasional glimpses of the despotic disregard for the Constitution and egregious violation of the rights of the people committed by DHS fusion centers. Thanks to a presentation delivered by a sheriff’s department sergeant at a casino in West Virginia, the scope of the surveillance and the blurring of the lines between federal, state, and local law enforcement were revealed without the typical reserve shown at similar gatherings. Here’s the remarkably forthcoming report of the pro-Fusion ...

New York’s freshman congressman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is issuing another dire warning about humanity’s prospects on planet Earth. In a recent appearance with Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ocasio-Cortez warned “the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.” In an interview Wednesday with The Intercept, Ocasio-Cortez said “the future of humanity” depends on global warming being a major issue in the 2020 presidential election. “I do not think that for the future of humanity and for our country to continue to prosper that we cannot have another presidential cycle where climate change is asked about at all at almost every ...

Trump and the MAGA Crowd Embrace the Neocon Plan for Venezuela

Is it fair to call MAGA neocon lite, or possibly MAGAcons? The fact so few of these establishment labeled “white nationalists” had anything to say about Trump’s illegal bombing of Syria, or the death toll from his war against ISIS, leads me to believe they enthusiastically support intervention in foreign nations, most recently Venezuela. They are not opposed to these illegal actions, which leads one to believe they subscribe to the neoliberal religion, or at least are not opposed to it. From the start, it was obvious Trump was not a noninterventionist. He sincerely believes in using state violence to realize his vision of making America great again, which is to say ...

Even if Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas were selling heroin out of their house, the government's violent response cannot be morally justified.On Monday evening in Houston, a dozen armed men broke into the home of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, a middle-aged couple who had lived in the house at 7815 Harding Street for at least two decades. The first man through the door, who was armed with a shotgun, used it to kill one of the couple's dogs. Tuttle responded to the home invasion by grabbing a revolver and shooting the man with the shotgun, who collapsed on a sofa in the living room. As Nicholas tried to disarm the intruder, his accomplices shot her. Tuttle returned fire, and ...

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) commented Wednesday about a controversial 40- week abortion bill and in so doing said the law allows an abortion to take place after the infant's birth. "If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother," Northam said, alluding to the physician and mother discussing whether the born infant should live or die. A Democratic lawmaker in the Virginia House of Delegates proposed a bill Tuesday that ...
Some Still Waiting Return of Liberty

For decades I’ve had my doubts about whether America is still the land of the free. With rules and enforcers everywhere you look, it doesn’t seem so. I’ve been wrong. Most Americans are free — as free as they want to be. I prefer liberty to freedom. Liberty means having the freedom to do everything you have a right to do; freedom is simply doing whatever you want, without regard for others. This is why, for most Americans, America is the “Land of the Free.” They are doing what they want. They tolerate checkpoints because they make them feel safe. They comply with the airport “security theater” gauntlet, pretending it’s fighting terrorism. They ...

We’ve been having this same debate about the perils of government overreach for the past 50-plus years, and still we don’t seem to learn, or if we learn, we learn too ...

Shop all books by Judge Napolitano Last Friday, on a quiet residential street at 6 in the morning, the neighborhood exploded in light, noise and terror. Seventeen SUVs and two armored vehicles arrived in front of one house. Each vehicle had sirens blaring and lights flashing. The house, which abutted a canal, was soon surrounded by 29 government agents, each wearing military garb, each carrying a handgun and most carrying high-powered automatic rifles. In the canal were two amphibious watercrafts, out of which more heavily armed government agents came. Circling above all this was a helicopter equipped with long-range precision weaponry and high-powered spotlights. Four agents approached ...
