Poster Comment:GOOD FOR A LAUGH... Dirty Harry/Harry Callahan -- those law & order movies starring Clint Eastwood -- ALWAYS drew large audiences and widespread approval. They also provided levity and a sense of to the audience that logic and justice would always somehow prevail. UNTIL Hollywood killed The Good Guy. (And that meant, creating the "Anti-Hero". OR some kind of human Social Justice Super-Hero.) Notice today how Hollywood's new "Super-Heroes" obsession touted from Hollywood/Marvel and other comic book movies possess all kinds of God-like supernatural powers? (No, I don't watch them; They are jammed in our face via non-stop TV/youtube/social media ...

At the 1999 All-Star Game in Fenway Park, a pair of Hall of Fame pitchers recalled their biggest battle. July 2 is the 55th anniversary of that game, which finally ended with a 1-0 score on a Willie Mays solo homer in the last of the 16th inning.

(Photo by Sporting News/Sporting News via Getty Images) Both pitchers, Juan Marichal for the Giants and Warren Spahn for the Braves, worked complete games, throwing more than 200 pitches apiece. Marichal, who later became the first Dominican admitted to Cooperstown, was the winning pitcher, increasing his record to 13-3 for the Giants.

Baltimore, MD — A disturbing video of a Baltimore cop has gone viral this week after it showed him manhandling and punching a 13-year-old child and threatening to cause him serious harm. Adding to the disturbing nature of the interaction is the fact that the boy is mentally disabled. According to the Baltimore police, they have since launched a review of the incident after one of their officers was seen on video in a violent altercation with a 13-year-old boy whose mother says has a mental disability. The Baltimore police claim that the boy was accused of trying to break into a neighbor’s house. However, the boy’s family says he was merely trying to find their lost cat. ...

CLEVELAND, Tenn. — “There’s kids toys all over the place. They probably had to step over kids toys and they still threw three different flash bangs.” The DEA issued an apology after bursting into a Cleveland, Tennessee family’s home with the Bradley County SWAT team. They were reportedly searching for a wanted murder suspect who lived nearby. The father described what it was like waking up to the chaos. “I think someone is breaking into my house, I go get my gun. Trying to protect my family like any Dad would do.” In fear for his family, the father of four drew his gun. But instead of a burglar, he came face to face with police. “As soon as they open ...
HUNGARIAN PM SLAMS ‘EUROPEAN ELITE,’ PREDICTS SHIFT TOWARDS ‘CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY’

‘Their big goal to transform Europe, to ship it into a post-Christian era, into an era when nations disappear,’ he says Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban doubled down on his criticism of the European Union’s handling of immigration in an annual speech Saturday, predicting a shift toward illiberal “Christian democracy” in the 2019 European Parliament. Orban, a member of the conservative nationalist and populist Fidesz party, has been a vocal leader among other EU nations who are similarly rejecting the EU’s attempts to be more lenient on migration and asylum seekers specifically. “Their big goal to transform Europe, to ship it into a post-Christian ...

The bill passed unanimously, with no debate. The measure, called the "miscellaneous tariff bill," has now passed ...
Trump Souring on Kushner? Reportedly Said I ‘Could Have Had Tom Brady’ For a Son-in-Law, Instead ‘I Got Jared’

Is President Donald Trump over Jared Kushner? According to a report from The New York Times, there are certainly signs that may be the case. But then, there are other indications that Kushner may still be part of the president’s inner circle. On the one hand, there is an anecdote — from the report authored by Maggie Haberman and Katie Rogers — in which Trump reportedly told people he “could have had Tom Brady” as a son-in-law. “Instead, I got Jared Kushner,” he reportedly said. Trump has also reportedly told aides, “Jared hasn’t been so good for me.” On the other hand, there is this passage from the Times piece: And yet, after 18 months of ...
Family Denied Worker's Compensation Because Worker Killed in Accident Legally Used Marijuana

We've heard of people being punished for using legal marijuana, but now apparently those problems also extend to a cannabis user's family as well. A widow in Colorado is being denied half of the compensation she's owed after an accident that killed her husband. And the reason they're denying half the compensation is because her husband had legally used marijuana. Adam Lee was an electrician in Colorado who was repairing a ski elevator in December 2016 when the machine began malfunctioning and he was killed. But now the state says they will only give Lee's family half of the compensation they are owed since a toxicology report done after his death determined he had ...

Ximena Barreto — a Donald Trump political appointee who used social media to spread conspiracy theories about a supposed pizza shop sex ring and made other inflammatory remarks — was escorted from Health and Human Services Department headquarters Friday, according to an individual with knowledge of the situation. Barreto resigned, the individual said. HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An email sent to Barreto’s HHS account Friday night produced a bounce-back message that the message was “undeliverable.” Before joining HHS as a deputy communications director in December 2017, Barreto spread conspiracy theories on social media and through ...

Americans have favorable beliefs about medical marijuana that aren’t yet supported by the scientific research, according to a new study from the Annuals of Internal Medicine. Medical marijuana, and cannabis more broadly, is growing in popularity and approval. Business is booming (especially in California) and the US Food and Drug Administration just approved the first cannabis-derived drug. For the study, the authors surveyed about 16,000 Americans about their attitudes toward marijuana. Their results showed that 81 percent of the respondents believed that marijuana had at least one medical benefit, in areas such as pain management, treating diseases, and alleviating mental health ...

James Mattis is reading this, he is probably muttering to himself: “Here we go again.” You see, every time I run into the secretary of Defense, I try my best to make the point that we’ve been at war too long in too many places.Gen. Mattis, as well as the head of NATO, the head of the UN, and virtually every voice of reason in the foreign policy world, acknowledges that there is no military solution to the unending Afghan War.For that matter, most agree that there is no military solution to the Syrian civil war or the Yemeni civil war.

Top 10 Libertarian Lies

For a short time, it seemed like the libertarian cancer in American politics was finally dead. Rand Paul, the supposedly electable and hip son of Ron Paul, ended his train wreck of a campaign after a pathetic showing at the polls. The Republicans instead chose Donald Trump, the least libertarian candidate in the race. On the Democratic side, democratic socialist Bernie Sanders built a massive movement around his decidedly anti-libertarian ideas.But I should have known better than to discount the corporate class. Led by the Koch brothers, the 1% did not give up on their capitalist agenda. As their traditional Republican venues disappeared, they headed to their last resort: the Libertarian ...

The U.S. mainstream press can easily recognize the dominant and influential role that the military plays in society, so long as they are referring to countries like Pakistan and Egypt. Unfortunately, the same reporters and commentators turn a blind eye to the similar phenomenon here in the United States. For example, the Washington Post writes: “When not in power, [Pakistan’s generals] have exerted outsize control over foreign policy, the economy, and local politics.” The New York Timeswrites: “Even during civilian rule, the country’s generals have wielded enormous power, setting the agenda for the country’s foreign and security policies…. ...

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday he had invited Donald Trump to Moscow and that both he and the U.S. president want further summits, despite the uproar in Washington after the two leaders met in Helsinki last week. Following the backlash in the United States over Trump's cordial public tone with Putin at the Helsinki summit, U.S. and Russian officials backed away from a proposal to schedule a follow-up summit in Washington. But speaking to reporters in South Africa, where he was attending a summit of BRICS nations, Putin said another meeting with Trump was still on the agenda. "Regarding our meetings, I understand very well what ...

DUBLIN, Georgia - This article was written by Bill Torpy for our investigative partners at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and AJC.com. Javonnie McCoy was growing marijuana when the cops came to his middle Georgia home. He was caught red-handed with it. Almost a pound of it, in fact. He admitted it to police, and later he looked jurors in the eye and said, "Yep, it was mine. I used it as medicine." The jurors let him go. He was minding his own business and wasn’t hurting anybody, they reasoned. He just doesn’t belong in prison. The jury’s decision earlier this month in Dublin, Georgia, may have been due to a muddled prosecution of a muddy case. Or it may ...

This article originally appeared on Truth Dig. Our society should’ve collapsed by now. You know that, right? No society should function with this level of inequality (with the possible exception of one of those prison planets in a “Star Wars” movie). Sixty-three percent of Americans can’t afford a $500 emergency. Yet Amazon head Jeff Bezos is now worth a record $141 billion. He could literally end world hunger for multiple years and still have more money left over than he could ever spend on himself.Worldwide, one in 10 people only make $2 a day. Do you know how long it would take one of those people to make the same amount as Jeff Bezos has? ...

There seems to be little doubt left that the democratic party did real damage to itself during the 2016 presidential election, not to mention the fact that their response to their self-inflicted pain was less than ethical as well. You see, the democrats are attempting to blame Russia for their embarrassing loss in 2016, claiming that Russian intelligence assets were responsible for leaking emails from within the Hillary Clinton campaign that outlined several immoral and inexcusable actions being undertaking the by the former First Lady. Even if this were true, how can you blame Russia for exposing the truth? The Kremlin gave the American people the information necessary to make ...

I,m not sure sure what to make of this. The guy with the camera was far less than tactful. However, the deputies looked like clueless buffoons. After all, he is just trying to get freeloaders to lawfully leave and leave his father alone. It reminds me of the the deputy substitutes for Barney Fife on Andy Griffith (yes, below the level of Barney). Long video if you are willing to watch it.
East Pittsburgh Shooting: A Sober Look at a True Tragedy

As a retired cop, I see my current calling as speaking about, writing about, and discussing the causes and effects of de-policing in America. Another part of my job is to defend law enforcement officers who are unfairly attacked, which leads to de- policing. I also try to make complex calls more understandable to the public from one police officer’s perspective. Remember, in most professions, when a person makes an honest mistake a steak is overcooked, numbers are added incorrectly, or mail is delivered to the wrong address. If cops make mistakes, people can die. Having said this, the recent tragic shooting of a black 17-year-old by a white police officer in East Pittsburgh, ...
