Now, the taxpayers of Oklahoma are being forced to pay the brutal incompetence of two Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers. It was announced this week that Pearson has received a settlement in the amount of $175,000 in taxpayer funds to settle the claims of his abuse. As the Times-Record reports, Pearson, now 68, of Edmond, Okla., claimed three troopers “used unnecessary, unprovoked and excessive force” when he was unable to communicate or follow verbal commands, according to the lawsuit. Oklahoma Highway Patrol officers, Eric Foster and Kelton Hayes were the two officers that were involved in what an affidavit claims was a 7-minute altercation. Naturally, since the ...

“So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed…. Must always report such instances to authorities, again and again!” tweeted Donald Trump. Indeed, many people have noticed that the young man who committed the recent mass murder at a high school in Parkland, Fla., sent out multiple “red flags” warning how dangerous he was, and have lamented the fact that no one in the community responded in such a way as to restrain him from acting on his violent impulses. Many say authorities did not intervene where they could and should have. We have an analogous situation with a dangerous leader who has access to far more lethal weapons than an AR-15. Following the ...

Bump stocks are devices that render semi-automatic rifles capable of firing hundreds of rounds every minute.Stephen Paddock, the gunman who killed 58 people and wounded hundreds more last October in Las Vegas, had at least 12 rifles outfitted with bump stocks. Trump recommends bump stocks should be illegal from CNBC. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has recommended that "bump stocks" — devices that let semi-automatic weapons fire hundreds of rounds per minute — be banned. Trump signed a memorandum recommending that Attorney General Jeff Sessions propose regulations that would declare that bump stocks are illegal because they effectively turn legal ...
The Children’s Crusade for gun control marches on at CNN

Have you seen all the high school kids on cable TV recently, especially on CNN? Students of the Florida school where a mass shooting took place last week have become the new face of the gun control movement and news networks and activists are eating it up. The push has been explicitly partisan. Student Cameron Kasky told anchor Anderson Cooper Friday, “Everything I’ve heard where we can’t do anything and this is just out of our hands—it’s inevitable, I think that’s a facade that the GOP is putting up.” He continued, “I think that that’s what they want us to think. I think that after every shooting the NRA sends them a memo saying send your ...
Some illegal aliens aren't so wild about all the "Dreamer" worship

The Democrats have put all their immigration eggs in the basket of the Dreamers, feeling like they’ve found a position supported by the majority of voters. And to a certain extent, they’re correct. They’ve even gotten some Republicans to go along with a DACA package, provided some concessions to border security needs are made at the same time. But in the illegal alien community, everything isn’t quite so rosy. There are far more illegals out there who didn’t qualify for DACA than those who did, and they’re feeling left out. The L.A. Times features one such individual this week, and he apparently speaks for many more. Sam Paredes entered the country illegally ...
Here come the Russians in Olympic figure skating and controversy is right behind

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea – The women’s figure skating competition hasn’t begun at these Olympic Games, yet we already know who is going to come in first and second, barring epic collapses on the ice, which could happen, but probably won’t. An Olympic Athlete from Russia will win, and another Olympic Athlete from Russia will come in second in the competition that begins Wednesday with the short program and ends Friday with the long. [...] It wouldn’t be a top international women’s figure skating competition without its share of controversy, however. This one involves one of the Russians. (Of course it does.) It’s the way Zagitova has laid out her long ...

SCOTCHTOWN, N.Y. — A New York man is going viral after he took to Facebook to record himself destroying his AR-15 rifle. Scott Pappalardo said he legally purchased and registered the gun more than 30 years ago and that he is also a firm believer in the Second Amendment. He even has it tattooed on his arm. “I’m not a hunter, I’ve never killed anything with it. Except a bunch of targets,” he says in the video. But after a 19-year-old used an AR-15 to kill 17 people at a high school in Florida on Wednesday, Pappalardo said that he had enough. “Is the right to own this weapon more important than someone’s life? Look at the pictures of those victims. Is ...

Progressive director Michael Moore participated in an anti-Trump protest in New York that was organized by Russians, according to information released Friday by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein announced indictments from Special Counsel Robert Mueller Friday against 13 Russian nationals for meddling in the 2016 election, highlighting how the Russians used social media to stir up strife and anger on social media using memes and unwitting Americans to do their bidding. One Russia-sponsored event was a protest of then President-Elect Donald Trump on Nov. 12, 2016, called “Trump is NOT my President,” and it involved Moore. (RELATED: Mueller Confirms: Russia Used ...

One of the biggest hypocrites to ever walk the face of the Earth, Michael Moore, participated in a Russia-organized anti-Trump rally. Liberals love to latch onto the “Russia” narrative, but they also like to leave out details surrounding their dalliances with the former Soviet Union. Conveniently missing from most mainstream media news sources, isn’t just information on the highly hypocritical and massive corruption of the Obama Administration and the Clintons in the Uranium One scandal. Prosecutors said Friday that the Russians indicted for meddling in the presidential campaign were also behind anti-Trump rallies that occurred after the election. ...

Are you single and wanting to “Make America Great Again?” Well, fellow Donald Trump supporters have launched their own dating websites, and they are irritating leftists and mainstream media as much as one could imagine. Although dating sites for Democrats and socialists have been up for awhile, the mainstream media is beside themselves that Trump supporters dared to create Trump Dating and Trump Singles. But “the MAGA-oriented dating websites have both arisen in a time of intense political polarization,” according to Yahoo News, which is an obvious cause for alarm if you ‘lean left.’ “Now, two online ...
Merchants of Death: America’s Toxic Cult of Violence Turns Deadly [Full Thread]

“Mass shootings have become routine in the United States and speak to a society that relies on violence to feed the coffers of the merchants of death. Given the profits made by arms manufacturers, the defense industry, gun dealers and the lobbyists who represent them in Congress, it comes as no surprise that the culture of violence cannot be abstracted from either the culture of business or the corruption of politics. Violence runs through US society like an electric current offering instant pleasure from all cultural sources, whether it be the nightly news or a television series that glorifies serial killers.”—Professor Henry A. Giroux We are caught in a vicious cycle. ...

He has no idea how to make a majority of voters choose him. Mitt’s back. The former governor of Massachusetts and occasional native son of Michigan has a new persona: Mr. Utah. He’s going to bring Utah conservatism to the whole Republican party and to the country at large. Wholesome, efficient, industrious, faithful. “Utah has a lot to teach the politicians in Washington,” he says in announcing his Senate campaign. Maybe. There’s always been something unstable about Mitt Romney’s political identity. In fact, Romney could give Trump a run for his money on political inconstancy. In his first run for the Senate, against Ted Kennedy, he tried to stake out a ...

One of the revelations in Friday’s indictment handed down by Special Counsel Robert Mueller was that alleged Russian attempts to sow disunity in 2016 included the organization of both pro- and anti-Trump rallies in New York City on the Saturday after Election Day. A check of their November 12 coverage showed both CNN and MSNBC gave enthusiastic coverage to the Russian-organized anti-Trump rally that day, with live reports every hour. Correspondents celebrated the idea that it was “a love rally,” and repeated the marchers’ anti-Trump mantras, such as: “We reject the President-elect.” While the two liberal anti-Trump networks offered heavy coverage of the ...

Edmonton AB - An Edmonton police officer was found guilty Tuesday of selling anabolic steroids to his colleagues. Court of Queen's Bench Justice Scott Brooker found Edmonton Police Service Det. Greg Lewis guilty of two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance. Lewis, a former member of the EPS drug and gang enforcement unit, was found not guilty on a third charge. "Given (the) convictions on two of those charges, disciplinary proceedings under the Police Service Regulation will now be initiated," said EPS spokesperson Carolin Maran. While reading his decision, Brooker detailed how Lewis, 36, was a "proponent of fitness" who had a reputation for ...

Over the past 30 years, I've been paid to write almost two million words, every one of which, sooner or later, came back to the issue of guns and gun-ownership. Naturally, I've thought about the issue a lot, and it has always determined the way I vote. People accuse me of being a single-issue writer, a single- issue thinker, and a single- issue voter, but it isn't true. What I've chosen, in a world where there's never enough time and energy, is to focus on the one political issue which most clearly and unmistakably demonstrates what any politician -- or political philosophy -- is made of, right down to the creamy liquid center. Make no mistake: all politicians -- even ...

St. Louis antique store owner Cherri Elder formed positive relationships with police patrolling in the area, so she decided to display an American flag containing a thin blue line — a symbol for police sacrifice — in front of Elder’s Antiques. But the gesture didn’t go over well with everybody. “People came by, they would cuss at you, they would harass you,” Elder told KMOV-TV, “they would harass the customers.” Image source: KMOV-TV video screenshot Elder told the station she took down the thin blue line flag to avoid continued trouble. “I thought things were getting better,” she told KMOV. “But apparently it’s not.” What ...

On Friday, Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order in United States v. Flynn that, while widely unnoticed, reveals something fascinating: A motion by Michael Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea based on government misconduct is likely in the works. Just a week ago, and thus before Sullivan quietly directed Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team to provide Flynn’s attorneys “any exculpatory evidence,” Washington Examiner columnist Byron York detailed the oddities of Flynn’s case. The next day, former assistant U.S. attorney and National Review contributing editor Andrew McCarthy connected more of the questionable dots. York added even more details a couple of days later. ...

Who exactly was David Koresh and why were so many people prepared to die for him? This documentary tries to answer that question by painting a psychological portrait of Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians religious sect whose Waco, Texas, compound was destroyed in a 1993 fire, killing 76 of its members, including Koresh. Via previously never-before broadcast audio and rare video footage, viewers hear from Koresh himself as well as first-person accounts from nine surviving members of the sect, including Marc Breault, described by A&E Network as "Koresh's right-hand man"; Heather Burson, who was the last child to walk out of the compound; and Kathryn Schroeder, who ...

The Russia-probe indictments announced Friday certainly sound quite ominous. The Russia-based Internet Research Agency “had a strategic goal to sow discord in the U.S. political system, including the 2016 U.S. presidential election.” Derogatory information was posted online against various candidates in an effort to support the Trump campaign. “Defendants made various expenditures to carry out those activities, including buying political advertisements on social media,” the indictment reads. “Defendants also staged political rallies inside the United States, and while posing as U.S. grassroots entities and U.S. persons, and without revealing their Russian ...

Eric Lundgren, an innovative computer engineer, may have to spend 15 months in prison for saving the environment and recycling computers. Even though Lundgren has a successful computer recycling business, the thought of throwing away or destroying so many PCs was unsettling. So he hatched a plan to copy and sell to refurbishers PCs with Microsoft restore discs. However, when the company learned what he was doing, they tried to put him in prison. Piracy is a crime and affects the bottom line profits of video game manufacturers, Hollywood films, and software companies like Microsoft. But a Microsoft restore disc is included when someone buys a computer and is available as a free download ...

Edmonton, CA — Two Edmonton police officers were found guilty this week for running a highly profitable steroid ring—selling anabolic steroids to fellow cops. Edmonton Police officer Greg Lewis was tried and convicted on multiple counts of trafficking a controlled substance while he ostensibly protected the people of Edmonton. “Given (the) convictions on two of those charges, disciplinary proceedings under the Police Service Regulation will now be initiated,” said EPS spokesperson Carolin Maran.

from the those-without-common-sense-will-inherit-the-earth dept Time and time again, courts remind officers of the law don't actually have to know the law to enforce the law. Yes, that's how it all works out for citizens, who are just as frequently reminded ignorance of the law is no excuse. This has lead to the prevalence of pretextual stops where minor traffic violations (that may not even be violations) are used to initiate long conversations with law enforcement officers with the end goal of obtaining consent for a search or to bring a drug dog onto the scene. Qualified immunity, along with the good faith exception, have allowed an untold amount of law enforcement abuse. This ...

Rebecca used to support Muslim “refugees” in Germany, and describes how her experience made her gradually change her mind over core issues. It is a long text but well worth the read. Please note that there is currently a mistranslation circulating, claiming that she said to she was moving to Poland. This is inaccurate; she said she knows Germans who are moving to Poland. Thanks to Ava Lon for the translation. Natalia Osten-Sacken: Rebecca, you’ve worked many years with ...
