By Michael Maharrey On Saturday, a Kentucky law went into effect requiring police to get a warrant before engaging in drone surveillance in most situations. The new law not only establishes important privacy protections at the state level, it will also help thwart the federal surveillance state. Rep. Diane St. Onge (R-Lakeside Park) and Rep. Reginald Meeks (D-Louisville) sponsored House Bill 22 (HB22). The new law prohibits the use of a drone for a “search” unless authorized under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Section 10 of the Kentucky Constitution. In effect, the officers will now have to get a warrant based on probable cause before gathering ...
What To Learn From The Social Justice Warrior Who Was Eaten By His Own Mob

Mob compliance is a vicious and deadly cycle. The only way to stop the cycle is to stop complying with the mob’s demands. “Twilight Zone” creator Rod Serling predicted back in the 1950s that we’d soon have a citizenry unable to think. Many of his screenplays warned of the specter of runaway mob psychology. Today it seems that’s exactly the sort of citizenry we’ve got. Social media trolling drives mindless street theater, which drives more mindless social media trolling, and on and on. Most Americans aren’t taken in by it, but the illusions mob behavior promotes can wreak havoc even on reasonable people. The mob mindset seems to be in hyper-drive. ...
Is the Media the “Enemy of the People”?

If an enemy controlled the media, would the news look any different? Traveling on Air Force One to Helsinki, President Trump tweeted that the media was the “enemy of the people”. It wasn’t the first time that he had said or tweeted it. And it never fails to get a rise out of the media. President Trump had referred to the New York Times, CNN and NBC News as “the enemy of the American people” shortly after taking office. At CPAC, soon afterward, he declared, “I called the fake news the enemy of the people, and they are — they are the enemy of the people.” Trump’s comments inspired Washington Post and New York Times pieces comparing him to ...

I've had a hernia for some time, and figured I could just live with it. Well now, it is like a grapefruit was stuffed inside my nutsack. I guess I should have realized that hernias don't get better; they just get bigger. I just hope I can get it done with a local or spinal block anesthesia.

You can watch the video below as it appears on the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s YouTube channel: Here’s a shorter version of the same video, which shows the police officer briefly take his hands off the steering wheel of his squad car to shoot at the fleeing vehicle through his own windshield. “Shots fired!

Lauren Southern just released a video criticizing modern libertarianism. She’s got some points, but imo they mostly apply to the modern libertarian movement and not libertarianism qua libertarianism as an intellectual thingy. This article points out my three issues with the latter, but I largely agree with her points as well. I argue: Anarcho-capitalists are too small a share of libertariansAnarcho-capitalism alone is improved on through the addition of ChristianityAnarcho-capitalism + Christianity is better identified with conservatism than libertarianism. 1 – Anarcho-capitalists are too small a share of libertarians What does libertarianism mean to you?

Brazile, Rice, Obama Gave Russian Hackers Free Rein By Daniel John Sobieski American Thinker July 17, 2018 The conveniently timed indictments of 12 more Russians by Deputy A.G. (or should we just face reality and ditch the word "deputy"?) Rosenstein, who will never see the inside of an American courtroom, probably includes the Russian who "hacked" into John Podesta's email account secured with the password "password." Rosenstein was no doubt pleased with himself to announce that 12 Russian spies were caught – er, spying, on President Obama's watch, by the way, but neglected to include one small detail in his announcement – namely, that DNC ...

The irrational hysteria over Trump and Putin By Steve McCann American Thinker July 17, 2018 I spent a good part of yesterday watching the vast army of those incapable of generating an original thought – namely, the majority of talking heads on radio and television as well as politicians in both parties, droning on about the disaster that was the Trump-Putin press conference in Helsinki. Once the first narrative was proffered by one of this gaggle, the rest dutifully repeated the talking points as if they were ventriloquist dummies. The bottom line: Trump is a buffoon inalterably subservient to the puppet master, thus betraying his country. Having watched the press conference, I did ...

John Brennan’s anti-Trump tweets grow more and more maniacal. His latest tweet holds that Donald Trump’s Russian diplomacy in Helsinki “rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors.’ It was nothing short of treasonous.” That tells people all they need to know about the unseriousness of the left’s impeachment drive, not to mention exposing once again the demented malice behind the Obama administration’s spying on the Trump campaign.

resident Donald Trump says he meant the opposite when he said in Helsinki that he doesn't see why Russia would have interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections. Back at the White House on Tuesday, the president told reporters that he said he meant he doesn't see why Russia "wouldn't" be responsible. He also said he accepts the American intelligence community's conclusion that Russia interfered in the election, but he denied that his campaign had colluded in the effort. Click for Full Text!

A California police officer has been charged with manslaughter after he was caught on video executing an unarmed mother, shooting her in the head. Ripon, CA — Mother and wife, Evin Olsen Yadegar had her life stolen from her last year by Stanislaus County sheriff’s Deputy Justin Wall who publicly executed her for no reason.

OCALA, FL — The Marion County Sheriff's Office in Ocala used capital letters and double exclamation points to introduce a social media video about a police encounter with "a dude" traveling about 1 mph in a 30 mph zone. "THE NERVE OF THIS GUY!!" the post read. "I mean, the guy's easily 100," Deputy Bryan Bowman said on the video. "He shouldn't be out on the roadways to begin with. I tried to talk to him. He snapped at me. I don't know what this guy's deal is. C'mon, Grandpa, I got places to be. Everybody wants to drive slow when there's cop car behind them. Can't get nowhere on time."

Finally, a case that might put a real crimp into civil asset forfeiture abuse.The U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to rule on a case that could have a major impact on civil liberties and whether civil asset forfeiture can continue to serve as low hanging fruit for bureaucratic interests run amok. Timbs v. Indiana involves a man whose $42,000 Land Rover was confiscated via civil asset forfeiture. Attorneys from the libertarian public-interest law firm, Institute for Justice, don’t deny their client Tyson Timbs was convicted of selling $385 worth of heroin in two transactions and that his vehicle was used in the sale. What they do contest is that the confiscation of the Land ...

A RUSSIAN woman has been accused of conspiring against the US as a secret agent by infiltrating the National Rifle Association (NRA) during the last election campaign to set up backchannel communications between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Maria Butina has been charged with trying to create a secret connection between the US and Russian officials on behalf of the Russian government in a scheme that began in 2013. She is the latest person to be arrested in the ongoing investigation into meddling in the 2016 US election.

Tucker Carlson: Mexico has interfered in US elections 'more successfully' than Russia

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Monday that Mexico had been more successful than Russia in influencing U.S. elections by "packing" the American electorate with its own people. Carlson said Russia has, in fact, sought to meddle in U.S. affairs. But other countries, like Mexico, had been more successful in doing so, he said. "I don’t think Russia is our close friend or anything like that," Carlson said. "I think of course they try to interfere in our affairs. They have for a long time. Many countries do. Some more successfully than Russia, like Mexico, which is routinely interfering in our elections by packing our electorate." Carlson's remarks came ...

An interview which took place just a few months before his tragic death, shows Anthony Bourdain was unafraid of calling out the establishment. The celebrity chef, TV personality, and staunch antiwar advocate sat down with Popula’s Maria Bustillos for a hard hitting interview during which he blasted Bill Clinton as “Rapey,” and noted how Hillary helped him get away with it. During the interview, Bourdain was asked whether or not he thought Bill Clinton should have been removed from office after the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Bourdain said that despite Clinton being “A piece of shit,” who was “Entitled, rapey, gropey, grabby, disgusting” should ...
The Shroud Of Turin Is Not Jesus' Burial Cloths

Tonight, CNN presented a one hour television documentary special entitled “Finding Jesus: Faith, Fact, Forgery.” I thought this title was inappropriate because the entire episode was about whether or not the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Jesus. Thus, the title should have had “Shroud of Turin” in it or the like. CNN did some advertising of this special, so I think they were a bit deceptive about whole thing. They interviewed some scholars, including Ben Witherington III who is a friend of mine. I am always surprised by the attention given the Shroud of Turin by many people who supposedly believe the New Testament gospels are historically authentic. If you ...

Buchanan On 07/16/2018 @ 7:03 pm Beginning his joint press conference with Vladimir Putin, President Trump declared that U.S. relations with Russia have “never been worse.” He then added pointedly, that just changed “about four hours ago.” It certainly did. With his remarks in Helsinki and at the NATO summit in Brussels, Trump has signaled a historic shift in U.S. foreign policy that may determine the future of this nation and the fate of his presidency. He has rejected the fundamental premises of American foreign policy since the end of the Cold War and blamed our wretched relations ...

f you're a conservative, a Trump fan*, or pretty much anybody else in 2018 who doesn't like the Democrats or their agenda, you probably get scolded whenever you mock Hillary Clinton. Her voters are still very protective of her: "Why can't you leave her alone? Why are you so obsessed with her?" Well, she probably wouldn't catch so much flak for refusing to go away if she would just, um, go away. But she continues to show up anywhere there's a microphone, an audience full of people who cried on election night, and a check with a bunch of zeroes on it. So she's fair game. If you don't like that, it's not my problem. When Democrats lose presidential ...
