© Jason Reed / Reuters Requiring that individuals must have a “good reason” to need firearms for personal protection is a rule designed to defy the Second Amendment, a federal appeals court has decided, striking down the laws intended to curb gun ownership in the US capital. The three-judge panel at the DC Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 against the District of Columbia. Judges Thomas B. Griffith and Stephen F. Williams were in the majority, while Judge Karen L. Henderson dissented.“We are bound to leave the District as much space to regulate as the Constitution allows – but no more,” wrote Judge Griffith in the decision issued Tuesday. “And the ...

Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger joined Governor Jerry Brown in San Francisco at the signing of an extension to the state’s cap-and-trade law on Tuesday, warning Republicans to “stop lying to the people” on climate change. “Don’t those conservative Republicans get the message? And can’t they just think about it for a second and say, ‘maybe we should stop lying to the people.’ Stop lying to the people. Stop it,” he said, according to the Sacramento Bee.Schwarzenegger originally signed AB 32 in 2006, which critics say has done nothing to help the climate, while raising energy costs for businesses in the state, and enriching ...

They Are NOT Broke—Snopes’ GoFundMe Is a Scam To Fund a Dirty Divorce

Snopes is in trouble. According to a self-launched fund raiser, the ostensible fact-checking website, founded in 1994, is on the financial ropes and needs your support to stay open. A GoFundMe for the supposed hoax-debunking site has since been setup and is going viral. If it continues raising money at this current rate, it will easily surpass its goal of $500,000 by the end of the day. While Twitter followers flock en masse to throw money at David Mikkelson, one of the controlling partners in the Snopes business, they’d do well to understand why it is he has no money. Snopes, as a business — is not broke. David Mikkelson — who’s been accused of defrauding the website to ...
Police Were Going To Auction Off Crime Victim’s Car Instead Of Returning It

Mary and Clyde Antrim’s Ford Crown Victoria was stolen on June 1 of this year in Pueblo, Colorado. Once recovered, instead of returning the car to Mary, who says she needs it to get to doctors appointments, the police were going to auction it off to make money off the backs of the elderly victims of theft. Being the victim of theft is hard enough. But what happens when you trust the cops to return your stolen property once they recover it? Nothing. They planned to make money by auctioning off someone else’s stolen property. Two wrongs make a right when it comes to agents of the government. As if the police state isn’t already bad enough. “I need my ...
You can't drive drunk in your own driveway, Supreme Court finds

The Michigan Supreme Court this week reversed two lower court rulings that a man couldn't be prosecuted for driving drunk in his own driveway. Gino Rea of Northville was arrested in 2014 after a police officer watched him back his vehicle out of, and then back into his garage. His blood-alcohol level was later determined to be three times the legal limit for driving, according to court documents. But an Oakland County Circuit judge dismissed the case, and the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal in 2016, finding that he "was not operating his vehicle in an area generally accessible to motor vehicles." Michigan's law against ...

Harris County, TX – (Updates at bottom of article) A video surfaced on Facebook showing an entrepreneurial Houston teenager being harassed by a cop for putting out business cards while his crew was mowing lawns. According to the post, later that day cops “broke into his home and attacked him with dogs,” although this has not been verified. The video begins with an officer telling the young man named Marlin Gipson to “step over here” next to a vehicle which is presumably their lawn work truck. Lawn machinery can be heard in the background as others are going to and from the truck. “When I saw you, you were going from door to door to door,” says the ...
Federal Appeals Court Castigates Kansas Cops for Pot Raid Triggered by Tea

One judge notes that police raided a family's home "based on nothing more than junk science, an incompetent investigation, and a publicity stunt."Today a federal appeals court revived a lawsuit filed by Robert and Adlynn Harte, the Kansas couple whose Leawood home was raided in 2012 based on a visit to a garden store and discarded tea leaves that police claimed tested positive for marijuana. While all three members of the 10th Circuit panel agreed that a federal judge erred when he dismissed the Hartes' lawsuit in 2015, each wrote separately. Judge Carlos Lucero best sums up the fiasco that led to the lawsuit in a blistering rebuke of reckless police practices: ...

Cop Forces K9 to Maul Man for Several Minutes—For Napping in a Park

Wilkes-Barre, PA — A city park is supposed to be a place where citizens can find refuge, enjoy a sunny day, or have a picnic. But what happened in Wilkes-Barre, PA could hardly be considered idyllic. Bystanders and onlookers watched in horror as Wilkes-Barre police allowed their K9 maul a homeless man who was reportedly only taking a nap. Joshua Fought said he woke up to find a police officer apparently intimidating his elderly female friend. He yelled at the officer to get the dog away from her, and quickly found himself locked in the dog’s powerful jaws. The attack, which was caught on video, prompted Fought to speak out about what happened to him in his hometown. On this past ...

There are more than 300 casks of whiskey aging in the Spirit Works Distillery barrel house, each uniquely crafted — different mash, different age, different American white oak barrels.But there are 12 reserved in a different section of the room, stacked against a wall to the left of the entrance to the cavernous hall. Six have headphones stretched across their rounded sides, blaring music from playlists selected by Spirit Works’ employees. The other six, the “control barrels,” sit adjacent to them in silence. These barrels are part of what the distillery has dubbed its “Music Barrel Experiment.” The idea is to find out whether the musical vibrations’ ...

Sticky-fingered socialist Bernie Sanders is apparently stealing his neighbor's Washington Post subscription, as any good socialist might do. In perhaps the funniest and most fitting news of the year, WMAL radio host Chris Plante told his audience of a story he heard from friends about the elderly senator. A man living next to Sanders apparently called the Post to complain that he was hardly ever receiving his subscription. After an investigation into the matter, the paying customer realized that it was his neighbor, Senator Sanders, who was stealing the paper right from under his nose. Here's Plante's story via Red State: Bernie Sanders and ...

We’ve known that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been getting particularly cozy with Vladimir Putin for a while now, even as he mocks and belittles his supposed NATO allies. When it comes to the situation in Syria it’s always been questionable as to which side he was on and what his long range intentions were. Some of those questions were answered this week when Erdogan announced that he has a signed deal in hand for Turkey to receive the S-400 missile system from Russia. (Reuters) Turkey has made progress in plans to procure an S-400 missile defense system from Russia and signatures have been signed, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday. “Steps have been ...

Although it’s impossible to be certain, it is estimated that between 180,000 and 250,000 people in the United States are living off-grid, disconnected from public utilities and using only self-reliant systems. One highly controversial off-gridder in Cape Coral, Florida, Robin Speronis, a 54-year-old widow, has gained national attention for fighting her local government to stay off-grid. Speronis’s off-grid story, as reported by Bloomberg, began in 2010 when her husband died of a degenerative neurological condition at age 84. Caring for him until his death left Speronis low on funds and in mortgage default. Despite zero prior experience outdoors or camping, Speronis ...

from the no-superheroes-in-airports deptI thought writing about San Diego Comic Con being censorial assholes would be the strangest story we'd write about Comic Con this year, but leave it to airline security to come up with an even more bizarre story. Apparently United Airlines (because of course it would be United) put up a sign at the airport in San Diego telling people that all books needed to be removed from checked bags. A Twitter user named Adi Chappo tweeted a picture of the sign at the airport: United, being United, responded that the TSA was demanding that all comic books from San Diego Comic Con could only go in carry on luggage. Chappo asked for more detail and United ...

FRANKFORT Senate Minority Leader Ray Jones said Monday he still had not heard from state Sen. Julian Carroll on Senate Democrats’ vote Sunday to remove him from leadership and call for him to resign following a TV report that Carroll made unwanted sexual advances toward another man. “We have tried to reach out to him but have been unable to do so,” said Jones, D-Pikeville. “We cannot force him to resign but we believe that is the correct thing for him to do.” The Senate Democratic Caucus’ action Sunday came after cable TV station Spectrum News Pure Politics reported Saturday night that Carroll, who was governor from 1974 to 1979 and has been a member of the ...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A woman approached the back of a Minneapolis police car and "slapped" it shortly before an Australian woman was shot and killed by an officer, according to a search warrant filed by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The search warrant obtained by Minnesota Public Radio doesn't specifically say that the woman was Justine Damond, but: "Upon police arrival, a female 'slaps' the back of the patrol squad ... After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley." News of the warrant came hours after personnel records for the officer who fatally shot Damond were publicly ...
Policing for Profit: Jeff Sessions & Co.’s Thinly Veiled Plot to Rob Us Blind

“Laws are no longer made by a rational process of public discussion; they are made by a process of blackmail and intimidation, and they are executed in the same manner. The typical lawmaker of today is a man wholly devoid of principle — a mere counter in a grotesque and knavish game. If the right pressure could be applied to him, he would be cheerfully in favor of polygamy, astrology or cannibalism. It is the aim of the Bill of Rights, if it has any remaining aim at all, to curb such prehensile gentry. Its function is to set a limitation upon their power to harry and oppress us to their own private profit.”— H.L. Mencken Let’s not mince words. Jeff Sessions, the ...

As soon as John McCain had been diagnosed with brain cancer, Democrats and Republicans in Washington and the press spared no opportunity to lavish praise upon this lifelong government employee. The truth, though, is that in exchange for the billions and billions of dollars that McCain has confiscated from them for well over three decades, taxpayers have received an ever-burgeoning administrative state, relentless illegal immigration from the Third World, and, of course, war—and all while McCain has pretended to be a “conservative.” Thanks to his labors, hundreds of thousands of human beings, both foreign and American alike, are now dead. And hundreds of thousands more are ...

Is the Military Losing Its Ability to Fight Capable Foes?
Post Date: 2017-07-24 19:35:19 by Anthem

In the conflicts currently at play in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, and elsewhere in the Middle East, America practices a policy of “military first.” But this constant use of force will not bring the conflicts to an end or stability to the region. Nor will these policies safeguard American interests. As has has been the case for virtually the past 16 years, the almost-certain outcome is that U.S. national security interests will continue to be eroded. A new direction in American foreign policy, however, can reverse these negative trends. By keeping our conventional military focused so sharply on fighting insurgent-based enemies that have no modern armies, no navies, no air forces, ...

WASHINGTON — Just six months after his inauguration, Americans already are split down the middle, 42%-42%, over whether President Trump should be removed from office, a new USA TODAY/iMediaEthics Poll finds. While no serious effort is now underway in Congress to impeach Trump, the results underscore how quickly political passions have become inflamed both for and against the outsider candidate who won last year's campaign in a surprise. A third of those surveyed say they would be upset if Trump is impeached; an equal third say they would be upset if he's not. Those findings, designed to measure the intensity of opinion, also show a perfect divide, 34%-34%. "I don't ...
The Incredible Maverick: US Political Elite Adopts McCain's Language

Despite the fact that Senator McCain’s views aren’t very popular in the American society, a significant part of the US political elite still considers them quite relevant. US Senator John McCain declared that he intends to return to politics after he recovers from his brain surgery. It should be noted that earlier the senator was diagnosed with brain cancer and that he and his family are currently considering the available options for further treatment. Political analyst Victor Olevich told Radio Sputnik that Senator McCain holds a rather peculiar set of views about foreign and domestic issues which causes his fellow Republicans to regard him as an unorthodox politician. ...
