The veteran-owned Black Rifle Coffee Company has offered a celebration for Christmas in a video in which two sharpshooters play Christmas carols by firing away with silenced rifles at a string of musical steel bells hung on a line. The two sharpshooters, dressed in Christmas sweaters start their caroling by playing “Jingle Bells,” then “Deck the Halls” before Santa shows up with an M249 SAW, firing away as he chuckles, “Ho, ho, ho.” Then it’s back to the sharpshooters firing away to play “O Holy Night” for a moment before they are joined by a man dressed in a pink bunny suit akin to Ralphie in “A Christmas Story.” He is admonished by ...

There’s a kerfuffle in Wisconsin over threatened application of The Law to the Amish.Up to now, they’ve successfully dodged Uncle – been exempted on religious grounds from a great many busybody-isms, including laws requiring the presence and use of seat belts and child safety seats in all motor vehicles.Their horse-drawn buggies lack motors, of course – as well as seatbelts and child seats.They don’t have air bags or back-up cameras or tire pressure monitors, either. The Amish don’t believe such things are necessary and therefore do without.They also believe it’s their decision, their business – and just want to go about their business, leave ...
More Than a Libertarian

You’re likely aware that I’m a libertarian. But I’m actually more than a libertarian. I don’t believe in the right of the State to exist. The reason is that anything that has a monopoly of force is extremely dangerous. As Mao Tse-tung, lately one of the world’s leading experts on government, said: “The power of the state comes out of a barrel of a gun.” There are two possible ways for people to relate to each other, either voluntarily or coercively. And the State is pure institutionalized coercion. It’s not just unnecessary, but antithetical, for a civilized society. And that’s increasingly true as technology advances. It was never moral, but at ...

The Baltimore Ravens are no longer in contention for the AFC North title, having fallen too far behind the Steelers, but they are currently tied with the Bills and the Titans for a wild card slot and they’ve been showing a lot of potential. They play the Colts today in a home game that could prove to be a make or break match in terms of their chances at a post-season appearance. With that much on the line, you’d expect the stadium to be buzzing, but in addition to the Colts, Baltimore is facing another battle. They’re trying to fill up the seats at M&T Bank Stadium and avoid yet another embarrassing display of sparsely populated stands. The Ravens sold out every single ...

I have had bad pain in my groin region for a number of weeks. I thought it was a pulled groin muscle. But then, I noticed a large lump in my groin area. From all I knew, I thought it was was a hernia or some kind of lymphoma. I went to the doctor who agreed it was a hernia (they examined everything, to my embarrasment). I'm not sure how I should proceed at this point.

A discovery of a goat-man hybrid has left residents of Malaysia searching for answers. Farmer Ibrahim Basir from the Malaysian village of Felda said it was a huge surprise to discover a baby goat with human features. NewsAU (h/t Nick F) The state Veterinary Services Department laboratory is currently investigating the reason behind the goat’s human-looking features. Agriculture and Agro-based Industry committee chairman Ismail Mohamed said this included exploring the possibility that a human violated the mother goat. (Ya think???) Basir said: “I was quite shocked but fascinated too as its face, nose, short legs and even the condition of its soft body seemed like that of a ...

The incident occurred at around 3pm on Friday, November 3 at the Kinderbauernhof (children’s farm) area of the German capital‘s Goelitzer Park. The man was spotted by a babysitter, who was visiting the zoo with a child. “My babysitter was at Goerlitzer Park with our son when they witnessed the man carrying out a sexual act on the pony,” a woman told the Berliner Morgenpost, adding that her babysitter had informed park staff about the ...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican-led Congress narrowly passed a temporary spending bill Thursday to avert a government shutdown, doing the bare minimum in a sprint toward the holidays and punting disputes on immigration, health care and the budget to next year.The measure passed the House on a 231-188 vote over Democratic opposition and then cleared the Senate, 66-32, with Democrats from Republican-leaning states providing many of the key votes. President Donald Trump is expected to sign the measure.The stopgap legislation would keep the government from closing down at midnight Friday. It has traversed a tortured path, encountering resistance from the GOP's most ardent allies of the ...
UN Jerusalem vote: General Assembly rules against US, declaring recognition of Israel capital 'null and void'

Several Latin American and African nations abstain from vote after America threatened to cut aid programmes In a humiliating blow for Donald Trump on the world stage, the United Nations General Assembly has voted by 128 to nine to declare his controversial decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void”. Just days after the US used its veto power at the UN Security Council to block a similar measure, the General Assembly resoundingly condemned the America’s unilateral action, which most observers said would hamper efforts to secure peace in the Middle East. While the vote has little practical impact – it is not legally binding – it is a ...

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon unloaded on the Bush presidents in an interview with Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman, calling George H.W. Bush "a pervert.""The Bush presidency is the most destructive presidency in history. James Buchanan included. It's not even close ... And by the way, I haven't even gotten to 9/11. I mean, 9/11! Think about if 9/11 had happened on Trump's watch. We would have gotten 100 percent of the blame by the Bush guys. And they said, 'Well, we just got here.' What do you mean you just got here? That's what gets me about them coming after Trump. I really detest them. I mean, the old man is a pervert. He's ...

Conspiracy Theorists Really Do See The World Differently, New Study Shows

To a conspiracy theorist, the world is not what it seems. Invisible threads link seemingly unrelated concepts, and there's no such thing as a random coincidence. Researchers have been scratching their heads for years over what makes some people more conspiratorially inclined. Now a recent study has finally tracked down one of the faulty thinking patterns. As it turns out, we all use it - but these people use it too much. A team of psychologists from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands and the University of Kent in the UK has determined that conspiracy theorists are hooked on something called 'illusory pattern perception'. "People often hold irrational ...

They're now running interference in the Russia probe and kissing the Trumpian ring. After Wednesday’s extended carnival of sycophancy, in which the leaders of the institutions of American government did everything except toss a virgin into a volcano in tribute to the president*, it seems almost too obvious a thing to point out that the Republican Party has handed itself over to this president* as his personal chew-toy. They have figured out that flattering this walking ego is the way for them to get what they want, and he can’t live outside a constant bubble of counterfeit affection. It’s a marriage made several levels lower than heaven. But there’s more to it than ...

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday commuted the sentence of an Iowa kosher meatpacking executive who had been sentenced to 27 years in prison for money laundering, marking the first time he's used the presidential power. The decision to intervene on behalf of Sholom Rubashkin, who ran the Iowa headquarters of a family business that was the country's largest kosher meat-processing company, came at the urging of numerous members of Congress and a long list of high-ranking law enforcement officials, who argued the sentence was far too harsh for a first-time, non-violent offender. Former Agriprocessors executive Sholom Rubashkin smiles at the Black Hawk County ...

Real Trump Russia Scandal is Not Mere Collusion, U.S. Counterspies Say Last May, a top White House national security official met in Washington with senior Russian officials and handed over details of a secret operation Israel had shared with its U.S. counterparts. The meeting shocked veteran U.S. counterspies. The American official was not arrested, and he continues to work in the White House today, albeit under close scrutiny.That official, of course, was Donald Trump. The president’s Oval Office meeting with Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, and its then-ambassador to Washington, Sergey Kislyak—which only Russian photographers were permitted to record—sparked ...

Christmas Lessons From California Victor Davis Hanson 12/21/2017 12:01:00 AM - Victor Davis Hanson Rarely has such a naturally rich and scenic region become so mismanaged by so many creative and well-intentioned people. In California, Yuletide rush hours are apparently the perfect time for state workers to shut down major freeways to make long-overdue repairs to the ancient pavement. Last week, I saw thousands of cars stuck in a road construction zone that was juxtaposed with a huge concrete (but only quarter-built) high-speed- rail overpass nearby. The multibillion-dollar high-speed-rail project, stalled and way over budget, eventually may be completed in a decade or two. But for ...
Trump’s National Security Speech

What do we make of Trump’s national security speech? First of all, it is the military/security complex’s speech, and it is inconsistent with Trump’s intention of normalizing relations with Russia. The military/security complex, using Trump’s position as President, has defined Russia and China as “revisionist powers,” Washington’s rivals who seek to put their own national interests ahead of Washington’s unilateralism. Russia and China are “revisionist powers” because their assertion of their national interests limits Washington’s hegemony. In other words, Washington does not accept the validity of other countries’ interests if ...

from the because-of-course dept This is, unfortunately, no surprise at all. It happens every time that a key surveillance provision is set to sunset. Rather than have any real public debate about it, the "surveillance hawks" in Congress refuse to do anything until there are just weeks left until the provision would expire... and then try to ram through a renewal. And, indeed, that's exactly what's happening. While people who are concerned about these surveillance powers have been urging debate on possible reform for basically two years, Congress has mostly ignored all such requests. Instead, they pushed for a very weak "reform" bill... and then did nothing about ...

Sweden child migrant tests 'reveal many adults' A Swedish investigation into migrants claiming asylum as children suggests that three-quarters of those tested were over the age of 18. Sweden's national forensic medicine agency checked the age of nearly 8,000 people and found that some 6,600 were 18 or over. The checks were only carried out in cases where there were doubts as to the person's age. Child migrants are less likely to be sent back to their country of origin. Between mid-March and late October, the agency (Rättsmedicinalverket) carried out a total of 7,858 age assessments. Of those, examinations suggested 6,628 were 18 or older (84%), and 112 ...

Every year, Facebook gets tens of thousands of requests for data from governments worldwide, including search warrants, subpoenas, or calls to restrict certain kinds of content.

Since 2013, when the company first started providing data on government requests, the US number has been steadily rising—it has roughly tripled in a period of four years. This is alarming many and causing a concern about privacy. Joe ...
