For those of you that claim we don’t live in a police state, I give you this recent Michigan Appeals Court ruling. In 2015, Deputy James Dawson went to Joshua Brennan’s home and knocked on his door trying to obtain a breath sample. When Brennan did not answer, Dawson spent an hour and a half knocking at his doors and windows. Officer Dawson also put crime-scene tape over Brennan’s security cameras to conceal his actions and used his siren and cruiser lights in an attempt to rouse him. When Brennan finally opened his door, officer Dawson forced him to take a breathalyzer and arrested him for a probation violation even though he blew a 0.000. All of this was done without a ...

Friday morning, October 26, 2018, a man was arrested in Broward County, Florida, in connection with at least 12 packages containing what appeared to be pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats. All of the packages listed the return address as the office of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) in Sunrise, Broward County, Florida. The suspect, Cesar Sayoc Jr., 56, of Aventura, Florida was taken into custody at the Auto Zone auto parts store in Plantation, FL, after the FBI used DNA evidence and a fingerprint on the package mailed to Maxine Waters to identify him, sources said. (New York Post) Sayoc was charged with five federal crimes — including interstate ...

By the time a child born in 2018 is settling into retirement, the national debt could be six times the size of the American economy. Without making any changes to current policy—in other words, even without the glut of new entitlement spending proposed by some of Bernie Sanders' acolytes—that's the trajectory for the national debt over the rest of the 21st century, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It's an outlook that the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), in an analysis released this week, calls "frightening and almost certainly unsustainable." Under current law—which assumes, among other things, that last year's ...

from the HOW-NOT-TO-GET-SHOT deptTo graduate from high school in Texas, you must first be able to show you won't provoke police officers into shooting/tasing/beating you during a traffic stop. That's according to a new state law that ran through the legislature under the guise of solving police/community relationship problems. (via Popehat) In the aftermath of several fatal police shootings of unarmed citizens, Texas lawmakers sought to pacify tensions between law enforcement and civilians. The state legislature brought civil rights groups and law enforcement organizations together to develop a solution: the Community Safety Education Act, which was signed into law last year.The ...

Coulter, Limbaugh and others stick with conspiracy theories after mail-bomb suspectÂ’s arrest

The sending of package bombs to prominent Democrats and other high-profile figures this week was accompanied by a disturbing phenomenon. Baseless conspiracy theories, once confined to the fringes in the wake of violent acts, leaped with shocking speed into the mainstream discussion of the attacks.A surprisingly large number of figures from the conservative establishment — commentators, radio hosts, a Trump family member, and other pro-Trump figures — shared, liked, hinted at, raised questions about or otherwise endorsed an evidence-less theory that this was a “false-flag” attack — one that was staged to advance the political goals of the very people it seemed ...

Phillipsburg, KS — The parents of children at a middle school in Kansas are likely regretting their decision to allow the school to drug test their students this week after their children came home with large patches of missing hair. The hair was used in the random drug testing process of 11 to 14-year-old children. The school district is now on the defensive after multiple students complained to their parents about the hack jobs they received as the state searched their bodies for illegal substances. Hopefully, this situation allows the parents realize the err of their ways and take note of what happens when you ask the state to parent your children. Superintendent Mike Gower spoke ...

from the bogus-narratives-and-boilerplate deptThe War on Drugs seems to bring out the worst in law enforcement. Wiretap abuse, asset forfeiture, flashbang grenades tossed into toddlers' cribs, internal corruption… these are all aspects of law enforcement's drug-related police work. Radley Balko has uncovered more abuse and Constitutional violations, this time stemming from the Little Rock PD's anti-drug efforts. The wrongs detailed in Balko's investigation include false statements on warrant requests, abuse of no-knock warrants, "reliable" confidential informants who are anything but reliable, and a handful of destroyed lives left in its wake.

Canton Township, MI — In the land of the free, you must ask permission from government before you modify your own property. If you do not first ask for permission and pay them, you can face heavy fines and, or imprisonment. Two brothers in Michigan are learning this the hard way after they cut down trees on their own property. Now the state is telling them to pay up—a half million dollars. Gary and Matt Percy have been told by their local rulers that because they failed to obtain the proper permit before cutting down 1,400 trees—on their own property—that they now owe $225-$450 per tree.

The Windows 10 October 2018 Update has been plagued by trouble.In September 2017, Microsoft boasted that it had just released the "best version of Windows 10 ever." A year later, as Windows engineers struggle with the most recent release of the company's flagship operating system, there's a compelling case that the October 2018 Update is the worst version of Windows 10 ever. The month began almost triumphantly for Microsoft, with the announcement on October 2 that its second Windows 10 release of the year, version 1809, was ready for delivery to the public, right on schedule. Then, just days later, the company took the unprecedented action of pulling the October 2018 ...

Barbra Streisand compared President Trump to the nursery-rhyme character Humpty Dumpty in a recent interview, calling him a “fat egg, sitting on a wall, and one day he’s going to fall off the wall.” "And crack,” added the singer and actress, a longtime critic of Trump, in an interview with The Guardian released on Friday. Streisand’s interview with the publication was one of her latest stops in an ongoing promotional tour for her new album, "Walls." Though the new album doesn’t mention Trump anywhere by name, Streisand made clear in the interview that much of the project links to a broader theme about the danger she believes the president ...

Stop freaking out about the midterms.If you believe that a midterm election in a time of relative peace and economic prosperity is the most important in history or even the most important in your fortunate lifetime, you either are oblivious to history or don't have a single nonpartisan synapse firing in your skull. Yet it's now become standard for partisans to claim that every presidential election is the most important ever. Seeing as many people view the president as an emperor, perhaps they believe it. That's one thing. But now we have people foisting this insufferable cliche on us for House elections, which happen every two years in every single district. The 2018 election ...

By Thursday, the targets of the mailed pipe bombs had risen to nine: George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Maxine Waters, John Brennan, Eric Holder, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Joe Biden and Robert De Niro. That list contains four of the highest-ranking officials of Barack Obama’s administration: the president himself, his vice president, his secretary of state and his attorney general. Yet, by Thursday morning, there was heartening news. Not one of the mailed bombs had reached its target. Not one handler of a mailed bomb had been injured. Not one bomb had exploded. Several of the bombs were said to be deficient. While they contained elements of pipe bombs, with shards of ...

What are these pre-election mail bombs? By John Eidson American Thinker October 25, 2018 Are the pre-election mail bombs the work of a right-wing nut? Or a false flag October surprise carried out by someone on the other side? At this point, no one knows who sent mail bombs to Time Warner/CNN and prominent Democrats. There's speculation that ISIS is responsible. Unlikely. If ISIS wanted to send bombs to anyone, it would be to the man who gave orders that virtually wiped ISIS out. Maybe the responsible party is a conservative crazy, of which there are plenty. Then again, maybe the culprit is the party that embraces Saul Alinsky's "win at all costs," "ends justify ...

Here's what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together. Everyone Should Read this. Slowly, and Patiently. From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been empaneled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out. Guess who took over this investigation in 2002? Bet you can’t guess. None other than James Comey. Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it? Guess who was transferred in to the Internal ...
