In an interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham this week, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said he was not impressed or swayed by media analysts who claim that this weekend’s dump of FISA documents proves that the FBI conducted a clean investigation and relied on strong intelligence to secure a surveillance warrant against Carter Page. Nunes maintained that the document dump only proved his theory that the FBI misled the court about the provenance of the Steele Dossier and relied almost exclusively on the dossier to secure the warrant. The dossier, of course, being a piece of political propaganda paid for by the DNC and the Clinton campaign. In the ...

Ninth Circuit: Second Amendment Secures Right to Carry Guns in Public The Ninth Circuit had earlier held -- citing D.C. v. Heller -- that the Second Amendment doesn't secure a right to concealed carry, but the panel now holds that it secures a right to carry openly (though it reserves the possibility that a state might be able to choose whether to allow open carry or to allow concealed carry) Eugene Volokh|July 24, 2018 1:56 pm Guns In today's Young v. Hawaii, a Ninth Circuit panel holds by a 2-to-1 vote (Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain, joined by Judge Sandra Ikuta, with Judge Robert Clifton dissenting) that the Second Amendment secures a right to carry guns openly in public ...

Pro-Trump hate groups are praising Russia and its ‘macho’ leader after the president’s summit with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. While President Donald Trump pals around with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the U.S.’s racist right is making open overtures to Russian white supremacists.One day after Trump’s disastrous summit with Putin last week, the League of the South, a neo-Confederate hate group, announced that it would launch a Russian-language site. The southern secessionist group’s crush on Russia is the latest appeal by U.S. white supremacists to Russia and Putin—an alliance that has strengthened during the Trump presidency.“Russia is our ...
Good Cop Charges Police Chief with a Felony and Is Immediately Fired

New Holland, OH — New Holland Police Sergeant Brad Mick was doing his job of trying to fight crime in the city of New Holland, and for his dedication to duty, he was fired. This good cop was relieved from duty because the alleged criminals he went after were part of the thin blue line. Mick dared to call out corruption in his own department by executing a search warrant and filing charges against the mayor, the current police chief, and the former police chief. He was then immediately fired — but not before he tried to seek protection from termination. According to the Fayette Advocate, Mick filed what is commonly known as a “whistleblower protection ...

Good things come in threes, what's next The apparent goodwill between the EU and the US emerging from the Juncker-Trump talks was quite unexpected. At risk, trade in autos between the two economies, and probably an escalation of retaliatory tariffs from the EU. Nice words yesterday, but then we have been here before. Trade talks with China looked to be proceeding nicely, with Chinese markets opened and tariffs cut, only for the US to slap on tariffs anyway, I'll believe it when I see it, but markets are far more trusting than me, and will take comfort on all of this today and probably into the weekend. There is also good news out of China, where a more relaxed PBoC on ...

Fake Populism

President Trump is known as a “populist” president who was elected by appealing to “the forgotten man” (and woman) – the hard-working, taxed-to-death middle class people whose interests are usually diametrically opposed to the political elites of both parties. The label of populism seems especially appropriate with regard to his foreign policy of pursuing peace with Russia and North Korea, judging by the vicious and apoplectic reaction to it by the deep state elite, some of whom have called for the president’s execution for treason. You know an American president is doing the right thing when he is so viciously attacked by the James Gang – ...

I know full well how hazardous an enterprise it is to set sail on the controversial and disputed sea of Scriptural interpretation….Yes, same here. This is one reason (of many) that I strongly prefer to keep theological discussion off limits. I know this is difficult to do, given the topics at this post, and I appreciate that you all respect this desire. As you know, my intent behind these topics is to examine the ramifications of broad religious issues on the social, governance, and political aspects of society.I guess today I am going to somewhat cross that line. The reasons are twofold: first, the examination Casey takes on is precisely on ...
Milwaukee police officer dies after shooting on north side

Comment by Gatlin: Since the start of 2018, at least 51 law enforcement officers across the U.S. have died while on duty -- with 30 of the deaths caused by gunfire. Roughly 135 cops died in 2016, making it the deadliest year for police officers in at least five years, Fox News has found. While there were fewer deaths in 2017, the numbers weren’t much better: a total of 129 officers died last year. And 46 of those were caused by gunfire. Tragically, a Milwaukee police officer has died following a shooting just after 5 p.m. yesterday in the city's north side Metcalfe Park neighborhood, according to the Milwaukee Police Department....increasing the number of deaths caused by ...

The director of the Alaska Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office will recommend a penalty for Alaska Hempfest, a free event over three days in Wasilla, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported . An estimated 1,500 people attended the event that began June 22. Among them were representatives of the Alaska Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office, who took photographs.

When he grows up and gets that food truck, though, he'll probably have a very different experience.A teen in Minneapolis has been running a hot dog stand, partly to raise money and partly because he likes having his own business. Jaequan Faulkner, 13, started his own little pop-up venture two summers ago, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. This summer he hit a snag. Someone called the Minneapolis Health Department and complained about the kid with the unlicensed hot dog stand. It's been that sort of summer, with snitches finding the dumbest reasons to call the cops and other authorities on other people, often kids and teens. Faulkner's story has a happy ending, ...
Pipeline Company Hit With $40 Million Retroactive Tax After Applying for Tariff Exemption

Unsurprisingly, the bureaucratic, cronyist process for getting an exemption is not in fact protecting American steel jobs.After being denied a special exemption from President Donald Trump's tariff on steel, a Texas-based pipeline company will have to pay what the company's chief operating officer calls an "unjust retroactive tax" of $40 million. When Trump ordered his 25 percent steel tariffs in early March, Plains All American GP applied for an exemption because it had placed a major order for steel pipes in December 2017—part of the company's ongoing construction of a 550-mile crude oil pipeline system across New Mexico and western Texas.

Before we get to the heart of all this, let me address perhaps my biggest peeve about libertarians. Trust me, it’s relevant. They are, without a doubt, the most defensive and thin-skinned group on the Right — far more so than Christian conservatives, gay Republicans, whoever. Maybe it’s because so many of them became libertarians in the first place in order to escape criticism of any kind, or maybe it’s because there’s something about libertarianism that excites the region of the brain responsible for religious utopianism, or maybe it’s the accumulated resentment at being in the backseat of the right-wing coalition — I don’t know. But I am ...

Europe will build more terminals to import U.S. liquefied natural gas, the head of the European Commission told U.S. President Donald Trump during a meeting aimed at averting a transatlantic trade war.“They want very much to do that, and we have plenty of it,” Trump said, referring to the U.S. shale boom, which has unleashed record supplies of the heating and power-plant fuel. “They will be a massive buyer, and they will be able to diversify their energy supply.”The comments were part of a bigger agreement in which Trump and Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president, said they would suspend new tariffs while negotiating over trade. The two leaders also ...

Announcement follows meeting with EU Commission President Juncker Rampant fears of a trade war with Europe fizzled Wednesday when President Trump unexpectedly extracted a zero-tariff agreement from the European Union. Mr. Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker emerged from a White House meeting having backed away from a tit-for-tat tariff fight that threatened to punish automakers, farmers and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. They agreed to hammer out a deal to eliminate all tariffs and trade barriers and eliminate all subsidies on non-auto industrial goods, which closely mirrored the deal proffered by Mr. Trump. “This was a very big day for free and ...

Stoner study: Regular marijuana use contributes to lack of motivation, foresight
Post Date: 2018-07-25 18:54:07 by Gatlin

Marijuana is arguably mainstream now, but frequent use has its drawbacks. According to an Australian study, marijuana is detrimental to long-term goal planning. Specifically, it affects episodic memory, which is the motor of episodic foresight, or the ability to time-travel into your future in your head and plan your goals. The study—available here—compared 57 pot smokers to 57 non- smokers in what the study called an Autobiographical Interview task. Every participant was asked to describe either an experience from their past or a possible scenario for their future based on a cue word. The frequent smokers, who smoked three or more times a week, found it more difficult to ...
Army Colonel Warns False Flag ‘Gulf of Tonkin Incident’ May Be Used to Get US Into War with Iran
Post Date: 2018-07-25 18:17:04 by Deckard

Often, the American mainstream media becomes a de facto government employee, taking the claims of U.S. officials and reporting them as proven fact — and nothing exemplifies this penchant better than reporting on the Gulf of Tonkin incident — perhaps one of most flagrant lies ever dreamed up as a justification for war. On August 5, 1964, the New York Times reported “President Johnson has ordered retaliatory action against gunboats and ‘certain supporting facilities in North Vietnam’ after renewed attacks against American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin.” Additional outlets, such as the Washington Post, echoed this claim. But it wasn’t true. At all. In ...

NASA explains why its insane mission to ‘Touch the Sun’ won’t end in catastrophe

NASA is going to send a spacecraft to the Sun. That, on its own, is pretty wild, but the fact that scientists plan on the Parker Solar Probe spending seven years orbiting our star, constantly gathering data and relaying observations back to Earth, is a whole other level of insane. Now, NASA has taken the time to explain how the probe will prevent itself from dying an early death. The probe, which is slated to launch in August, is going to get closer to the Sun than any spacecraft ever has, coming within 3.9 million miles of the star on its closest approach. That sounds like a huge distance, but it’s actually very, very close when you’re talking about something as big as the Sun. ...
Fatal car accidents increase on 4/20, a counterculture holiday celebrating marijuana

Driving while high can impair driving, though not as much as driving while drunk Driving while high can impair driving, though not as heavily as driving while drunk. This stoner holiday may be a good time to stay off the roads. April 20 has been deemed a counterculture celebration of marijuana, during which marijuana enthusiasts synchronize mass consumption of the drug at 4:20 p.m., but it may have the unintended effect of leading to more deadly traffic accidents, a recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found. There have been 1.3 million drivers involved in 882,483 crashes causing 978,328 fatalities in the 25 years since the concept of “4/20” (whose origins are ...

The first American to introduce two of the major players at the heart of a shocking Russian spy scandal has such deep ties to Moscow that he has doubted Barack Obama’s American citizenship in the course of demonstrating his affinity for Vladimir Putin. “As long as U.S. is electing foreign-born presidents,” tweeted Tennessee attorney G. Kline Preston IV in 2013, “I propose Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.” Two years later, at a rally featuring soon-to-be-President Donald Trump, Preston tweeted: “Donald Trump today in Nashville. He is a friend of Russia.” He wrote the message in Russian.In other words, at the very beginning of what appears to be an audacious ...

Rob Reiner, affectionately known as Meathead, is traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind, a dimension where Russians skulk in the shadows and plot the destruction of our “democracy.” Here’s a recent tweet by Mr. Reiner. Rob Reiner @robreiner It’s this simple: The United States of America was attacked by a foreign enemy power and our President refuses to defend us. I do believe Meathead has found the rabbit hole. In the Wonderland of Hollywood’s making Donald Trump is in cahoots with Russians. He takes orders directly from Vladimir Putin. There is zero evidence of this, but that’s not really a ...
