My daughter's school has issued a 4 hour delay tomorrow. Why? Because it will drop to 13 degrees tonight. No chance of snow or ice at all. No ice on the roads. We have become a bunch of wimps.

The Trump administration has shut down a $13 billion federal spending plan to rebuild an Amtrak project between New York and New Jersey. According to a letter obtained by Crain’s New York Business, the administration called the deal proposed by former President Barack Obama — which would have been half paid for by the federal government — “non-existent.” “Your letter also references a non-existent '50/50' agreement between [the Department of Transportation], New York, and New Jersey. There is no such agreement," wrote Federal Transit Administration deputy administrator K. Jane Williams in a Friday letter. “We consider it unhelpful to ...

Ross Ulbricht was sentenced in May 2015 to life in prison without parole for various crimes connected to his launching the darkweb sales site Silk Road. In May of this year, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld his conviction and his grossly disproportionate sentencing. Ulbricht has now appealed the Second Circuit's decision to the Supreme Court. Kannon K. Shanmugam, the lawyer managing the appeal, summed up the legal issues that require settling by the Supreme Court in a December memo to potential amici in the case. Even those who might never dream of launching a darkweb site facilitating possibly illegal substance sales should be very worried about how the government convicted ...

Five deputies were shot, one fatally, after they responded to a report of a domestic disturbance on Sunday morning in a suburb of Denver, officials said. The gunman was shot by deputies and was “believed to be deceased,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook. Two civilians were also shot by the suspect, the Sheriff’s Office said. The shooting occurred in Highlands Ranch, Colo., about 15 miles south of Denver. Three of the wounded were taken to Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, Colo., with injuries that were not critical, Linda Watson, a hospital spokeswoman, said in a phone interview. She declined to say if the wounded were civilians or members ...

Did anyone else watch this the other night? I had recorded it,and just watched it today,and I am seriously steamed. Long story short,the whole thing came about because a UPS driver decided "something was wrong because what religion NEEDS ALL THOSE GUNS?" (emphasis mine)? It seems obvious he didn't know they had a FFL and were selling guns and demilled "grenade" joke gifts,or if he did know he didn't care. He obviously lied and opened up one package to discover it was full of "grenades" "When I pulled it from the top shelf 5 or 6 grenades rolled out of it." Ask ANYBODY that has ever handled a case of grenades if ANYBODY ever puts them on a ...

What if you really believed that God is 100% for you? That he not only accepts you, but accepts you fully, because of the perfect person and work of his Son? That your best successes can’t earn you any more access, and your worst failures can’t take any of it away? If you did — really did — it might change everything for the pursuit of joy in your life. The Christian doctrine that deals with God’s acceptance of us into right relationship with him is called justification. It’s the long j-word that has so much to do with the short j-word that we’re all seeking in our own way: joy. Justification by Faith Alone Justification deals with how we get right with ...

Ranking websites is an inexact science. There are multiple ways to measure success, including pageviews, users, unique site visitors and, perhaps most important, influence. To create this list of the top conservative sites, PJ Media looked at a variety of sources that rank them and determined the average score for each center-right site. Alexa, SimilarWeb, and Quantcast all look at different data sets, so considering all three helps to present a more complete picture. Alexa's ranking is based on "a combined measure of Unique Visitors and Pageviews" over a three month period. According to Quantcast, they measure "the number of people in the United States who visit each ...
The States' Unfunded Pension Nightmares

Pensions: The stock market boom has helped everyone, right? Nope. States' pension funds have nearly $4 trillion of stock investments, but somehow haven't benefited from soaring stock prices. A new report by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) shows why this is true. It notes that the unfunded liabilities of state and local pension plans jumped $433 billion in the last year to more than $6 trillion. Let that number sink in for a moment: It's one-third the size of the U.S. economy, equal to "a whopping $18,676 for every man, woman, and child, or nearly $50,000 for every household in America," as The Daily Signal notes. It's a massive amount of money, in ...
Trump, Deutsche Bank and the Kremlin 'cookie jars'

The tone was weary exasperation. The sort of exasperation you might deploy when faced with a capricious and badly behaved child. One who agrees to do something but who then reneges and blames everyone else, while screaming and throwing toys from his pram.The man-child in this case was Trump. The fed-up reproving parent was Deutsche Bank, Trump's New York creditor. At issue was a very large sum of money that Trump borrowed from the German bank in 2005 to fund the construction of the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago. Trump had personally guaranteed to repay the $US640 million ($828.7 million) debt.Since then, a global financial crash had arrived. Trump had ...
Trump Lost to North Korea's Kim Jong Un in 2017's War of Words

President Donald Trump's enthusiastic participation in a war of words with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over the course of the year has served as an "embarrassment" to the U.S., decreased the likelihood of North Korea giving up its nuclear weapons and increased the possibility of war, according to multiple experts. "Trump’s bombast was not just an embarrassment and a blow to the U.S. reputation for skillful diplomacy. More disturbing, it reinforced Kim’s determination to keep his nuclear weapons and may have increased the risk that the North could misinterpret U.S. military exercises as the prelude to a ...

Poster Comment:The confusing, myriad, labyrinth system of 'federal' courts desperately needs to be revamped for simplicity if for no other reason. The President has certainly exposed just how much anti American filth there IS in the so called justice system. I would like to see how many judges were rate qualified that are on the 9th circuit, the circuit that not only "taxes" the Supreme Court constantly but is overturned over 50 percent of the time.

Passenger allegedly bumped by pol (Sheila Jackson Lee) says it’s not about race

The United passenger who had her first-class seat handed over to a Democratic congresswoman said her gripes about it had nothing to do with race. Jean-Marie Simon, a Washington, DC, teacher, was outraged when the airline booted her from her cushy seat, which she had booked in advance, and gave it to Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Simon called out Jackson Lee on social media — and the veteran Houston lawmaker responded by lashing out at Simon, suggesting that the Texan was an “easy target” because she is African-American. But Simon, in an interview with Fox News, shot down the racism allegation. “That could have been Donald Duck in my seat,” Simon told the network ...
Minnesota Prosecutor Hits Teen With Child Porn Charges For Taking Explicit Photos Of Herself

from the 'light-touch'-of-a-prosecutor's-bludgeon dept Child porn laws continue to be used stupidly by state prosecutors to punish teens for consensual behavior. The ACLU has entered a case on behalf of a 14-year-old who sent explicit photos of herself to another teen. This teen then sent the photos to others. At some point, the state decided to step in. What the teen did was demonstrably stupid, but should it be criminal? Using the law to set an example and shame some teenagers undermines the seriousness and intent of child pornography laws. Minnesota statute 617.247 clearly states that its intent is to “protect minors from the physical and psychological damage ...

from the how-much-more-do-Blue-Lives-Matter? dept The FCC has done away with Net Neutrality. In its place, we get videos of Ajit Pai mocking his opponents, served up in a melange of mishandled memes. We also, apparently, get this: a future where our lives are interrupted by push notifications that treat grown-ass police officers like kidnapped children. (h/t That Anonymous Coward) The Federal Communications Commission today added a new alert option—called a “Blue Alert”—to the nation’s emergency alerting systems. Blue Alerts can be used by state and local authorities to notify the public of threats to law enforcement and to help apprehend dangerous suspects. ...

Both Congress and the Department of Homeland Security have never justified the biometric scanners at airports that could cost Americans $1 billion in 2018. As TSA agents continue to prove their incompetence in the “War on Terror,” the Department of Homeland Security is now allocating $1 billion in taxpayer funding to create a facial recognition program that will illegally scan Americans’ faces. A study conducted by Georgetown Law’s Center for Privacy and Technology looked at the biometric scanners that are creating an inventory of the faces of individuals leaving the country at airports across the United States. While they are only at certain major airports right now, ...
“Insidious White Spaces”: Liberal Professors Claim That Farmers Markets Are Now Racist

Two liberal professors from San Diego State University are now claiming that the existence of farmers markets in urban areas, outside the control of corporations, is racist and normalizes the eating habits of white people. Pascale Joassart-Marcelli and Fernando J Bosco made the insane claims in a chapter of a new anthology released this month that “researches” the correlation between how white a specific farmers market supposedly is and the gentrification in said area. As Campus Reform notes, “The anthology, which features contributions from a variety of professors, aims to highlight the harms of “environmental gentrification,” a process in ...

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has said, “London is a beacon of tolerance, acceptance and diversity.” However, because London is such, and a Muslim is stating it to be so, he also went on to state that was the very reason why an official visit by US President Donald Trump would “not be welcomed.” Khan’s comments came in the midst of written statements to questions from a member of the London Assembly, which asked him what he would do to make President Trump “feel welcome” when he visits the UK in 2018. Mr. Khan stated that he had “previously called on Theresa May to cancel her ill-judged offer of a state visit to President Trump.” He then added that ...

Los Angeles, CA — A video uploaded to Facebook last week shows the ridiculous nature of the American police state. According to the video uploader, the police in the video below came to this house because they saw a teenager riding his bike with no hands and without a helmet. Not wanting to be kidnapped or killed, the teenager rode his bike home after he saw the police. When police showed up, you’d think they were responding to a bank robbery or child kidnapping. However, the half-dozen public servants were only there to extort money from a child for not wearing a helmet. During the standoff, the family knew that their child was going to be kidnapped by police, so ...

That’s nothing new, of course. It began with our first issue in 1999, and has gotten more intense ever since. Just recently, the despicable NY Times, Washington Post, and National Review have vented their spleens once again. You’d think big, establishment organs like the two newspapers wouldn’t care. But they do. LRC drives them crazy (crazier?). They can’t stand the truth, especially as enunciated by Murray Rothbard and Rothbardians. Murray has more and more influence. Both NyTi and WaPo are notoriously close to the CIA. National Review was founded by CIA agent Bill Buckley, and all continue to fight for the welfare-warfare state, and smear anyone, especially on ...
