Questions that A K A Stone asked but never got an answer because they got their ass kicked Post Date: 2017-07-11 12:53:32 by A K A Stone

Sometimes I ask a question. Then someone dodges the question. Either because they missed. Or sometimes because they know that they have had their ass kicked. This is a place to gather all those unanswered questions in one place.
A History Lesson: Wake Up America! Post Date: 2017-07-11 12:02:41 by IbJensen

In 732 A.D., the Muslim Army, which was moving on Paris, was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martell. In 1571 A.D., the Muslim Army/Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto. In 1683 A.D., the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian armies. This nonsense has been going on for 1,400 years! The sad thing is that more than half of all politicians do not even know any of this. If these battles had not been won, we would most likely be speaking Arabic. And Christianity ...
Abnormal Returns from Joining Congress? Evidence from New Members Post Date: 2017-07-11 11:55:28 by Anthem
3 Comments
Abstract Past research shows that members of Congress are informed traders, i.e., that they earn abnormal returns while in office. This important research does not identify whether being elected leads to informed trading or whether informed traders are selected into office. We try to provide a partial answer to this question by looking at whether new members of Congress were informed traders prior to being elected and how their portfolio performance changes after election and appointment to different types of committees. Due to data limitations our analysis focus on the pre-congressional (i.e., election) and congressional (i.e., post-election) common stock trades made by newly elected ...
Trump Jr. releases email chain on conversations with Russian sources Post Date: 2017-07-11 11:54:45 by cranky

Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday released a stunning chain of emails highlighting his conversations about setting up a controversial campaign meeting with a Russian lawyer offering compromising information on Hillary Clinton. The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with [Agalarovs] father Aras this morning and their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia would be very useful to your father, reads one of the emails from Rob Goldstone to Trump Jr. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for ...

overnor Chris Christie is filling in this week for sports talk radio host Mike Francesa on New York's WFAN network and it's not going great. Two callers into the famous sports talk show attacked Christie on Monday for his record-low approval rating, support of President Donald Trump, Bridgegate, and his trip to a closed beach during a government shutdown. "Governor, the next time you want to sit on a beach that is closed to the entire world except you, you put your fat a-- in a car and go to one that is open to all your constituents, not just you and yours," said one caller identified as Mike from Montclair, New Jersey. Christie and his family went to a ...

DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera is speaking out more forcefully than ever before about the ongoing crisis in his native Venezuela, breaking what he said was his long-standing rule against meddling in politics. In a series of free-wheeling videos posted on Monday to the "stories" section of his Instagram account, Cabrera blasted the corruption of Venezuela's government, voiced his support for protesters and spoke of threats against his family that required him to pay vacunas, or protection money.

One of the police officers wounded in this ambush has filed a lawsuit against five Black Lives Matters leaders. His attorneys filed the lawsuit on Friday and named BLM leaders, DeRay Mckesson and Johnetta Netta Elzie as plaintiffs (via The Advocate). The lawsuit alleges that Black Lives Matter, declared a virtual war on police.

Court Affirms Citizens Have the Right to Defend Themselves Against Police Brutality Post Date: 2017-07-11 08:32:55 by Deckard
22 Comments
Newark, NJ A court case was decided this month by an appellate court in New Jersey which affirmed that citizens are allowed to defend themselves against police brutality. The courts decision involves the case of Darnell Reed, 33, who was beaten to a bloody pulp by officers during an arrest in 2013 in which he faced multiple charges. A jury found him not guilty on seven of the eight charges, with the only guilty charge being that of resisting arrest. However, the appellate court ruled last week that Reed was denied a fair trial in that instance, as the jury had not been instructed to consider whether or not Reed had that right to defend himself against ...

An officer of the Carteret Police Department has been charged with three counts of official misconduct, third-degree aggravated assault and was suspended from the police force after he reportedly beat a local teenager and failed to activate his body camera during the encounter. Officer Joseph Reiman, 31, who also happens to be the brother of Carteret Mayor Dan Reiman, was charged in early June, according to Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey. The 16-year-old victim, who was said to have sustained significant bodily injury in a press release issued by the Middlesex County Prosecutors Office (MCPO), was being pursued by Reiman when he crashed his car. Too young to ...
Video shows Minneapolis police officer shooting two dogs in north Minneapolis yard Post Date: 2017-07-11 07:25:35 by Deckard

Neither dog appears to have been charging at the officer. The Facebook video is disturbing. A uniformed Minneapolis police officer is seen in the fenced backyard of a home in north Minneapolis. As of Sunday afternoon, both dogs were alive but their owner, Jennifer LeMay, was facing thousands of dollars in bills for vet care and surgery. Minneapolis police released a statement Sunday saying an investigation is underway and at this time, there is no further information we can release. The incident happened about 9:15 p.m. Saturday in the 3800 block of Queen Avenue N. The episode was recorded on security video cameras in LeMays backyard. On Sunday evening, a ...

Yesterday the National Rifle Association broke its recent silence on the shooting of Philando Castile, a Minnesota carry permit holder who was killed during a traffic stop last summer by a cop who panicked when Castile reached for the wallet containing his driver's license. "I think it's absolutely awful," NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch said during a debate on CNN. "It's a terrible tragedy that could have been avoided." Referring to last month's acquittal of Jeronimo Yanez, the officer who was charged with second-degree manslaughter after shooting Castile, Loesch added: I don't agree with every single decision that comes out from courtrooms of America. ...

Gunshot to the back of the head in overturned car A lawyer who was investigating the Sandy Hook shooting was found dead in his overturned car. Police ruled Gugsa Abraham (Abe) Dabela's death as a suicide despite a gunshot wound to the back of his head and "footprints" on his back. His car was discovered on an isolated country road close to his home in small, upscale Redding, CT. The local police, including Chief Douglas Fuchs, determined right away that the car had purposely been crashed by Mr. Dabela because "he had been drinking". Shortly before his death, Attorney Dabela, a bachelor, had frequented some of the local establishments to speak to Redding police ...
Military Judge Gives Bowe Bergdahl A Lot Of Bad News Post Date: 2017-07-10 20:23:52 by Tooconservative

I missed this in the tumult of the past week but good news is always welcome. When Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was released by the Taliban in 2014 he was feted by the Obama administration despite ample evidence that he was actually a deserter. His parent were guests at a Rose Garden ceremony with Obama, himself. Habitual and reflexive liar Susan Rice took to the Sunday shows to reprise her bravura performance after Benghazi, in this case she told a lie so monstrous that even CNNs Jim Acosta, who never saw an Obama-related knob shoe he couldnt polish, was shocked: RICE: I realize there has been a lot of discussion and controversy around this. What I was referring to is the fact ...
Fewer countries refusing to take back criminal illegal aliens in 2017 Post Date: 2017-07-10 20:17:59 by Tooconservative

Progress on the legislative front remains largely at a standstill, but that doesnt mean that things arent getting done. President Trump has been meeting with the leaders of various nations this week and this story from the Washington Examiner makes me wonder whether any of his one-on-one chats included the subject of deportation. In the spring of 2016 there were nearly two dozen countries that were refusing to take back their criminal illegal aliens when ICE caught them here and we wanted to deport them. At this point that number is down to twelve, so clearly some of them have gotten the message. The Trump administration has bolstered its campaign to deport criminal illegal ...

America, the New York Times groans (chortles?), was "ostracized" by the other G20 countries at the recently concluded meeting in Hamburg. And with Angela Merkel leading the band of ostracizers. And on not one but three issues: immigration, climate change, and trade. These are all worth examining in turn. Let's start with immigration. Led by Chancellor Merkel (and contrary to the wishes of many members of the European Union) Germany welcomed 1 million largely Muslim immigrantsmany with no identification, some with forged passports, most in need of all the welfare state could provide. The resulting clash of civilizations has made it unsafe in major German cities for ...

Just when you think youve seen it all, out comes another Donald Trump tweet, or tweetstorm, to prove you wrong. On Sunday morning, Americas forty-fifth President, having just returned to Washington from the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, pronounced his trip a great success for the United States.It says something about Trumps grip on reality that he could reach such a conclusion after a summit in which he and the rest of the U.S. delegation were utterly isolated on major issues such as climate change and international trade. In fact, the only way that German Chancellor Angela Merkels diplomatic sherpas were able to cobble together a communiqué ...
Cyclist knocked to ground in hit-and-run caught on camera Post Date: 2017-07-10 11:57:21 by misterwhite

OK. When I first saw this, I faulted the driver of the car. Seems obvious. But then I looked again and saw a few mitigating factors.The two cyclists were going slow, side-by-side on a two lane road where the speed limit had to be at least 55.Second, this was a no-passing area (double yellow line), meaning there was no way to legally get around them. You had to go their speed -- which was crawling.Third, at the very beginning of the video, you can see a white truck which did pass by swinging well into the oncoming lane, placing himself in danger by so doing.Lastly, the second driver, who was having none of this, passed and swung back into his lane a little too quickly.Who in the f**k did ...

ATLANTA - A woman could face jail time and a large fine over her garden. Atlanta city code enforcement officers told Lexa King that her flowers are overgrown. King told Channel 2s Rikki Klaus that shes been growing her garden for about 30 years. She beams when she talks about the azaleas in her northeast Atlanta yard. "And since I pay the taxes and since I pay the mortgage, and since I pay the insurance, I figure I'm the one that gets to say," King said.

Can you give us an example of how the government tyranized you personally? Yes. Do they stop you on your way to work? Yes, or going about my business anywhere on the roads. Do they randomly come to your house? Yes. They knew where the parolee they were looking for lived, but since he wasn't there they came to my door. They knew what he looked like (not like this old fart) yet demanded my ID. Do they come and beat you up? Yes, another time. All charges against me were dropped when they saw I was going to fight it. Do they fuck your wife? That would be a service. They don't serve us average joes. Do they pick on your kids? Are they still alive? Yes. Then they didn't ...

Chicago police are keeping busy confiscating illegal guns. Last year through the summer, the confiscations were occurring at a rate of one every 59 minutes according to Chicago Police Department figures related by Mark Berman in an October 2016 Washington Post article. This summer, the Chicago police will have some assistance from the United States government in racking up impressive gun confiscation numbers. Following through on a plan that began its development during the Obama administration, the Trump administration and Chicago Police Department announced last week the sending of the Chicago Crime Gun Strike Force, involving an additional 20 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, ...

IRS shuts down mom and pop dressmaker, sells dresses within hours Post Date: 2017-07-10 08:01:43 by IbJensen

The unmarked vehicles arrived in the morning. More than 20 armed agents poured out. Hours later, Miis Bridal & Tuxedo was out of business after serving customers for decades. Its entire inventory of wedding gowns and dresses as well as sewing machines and other equipment were sold at auction. The hastily-called sale held inside the store netted the IRS about $17,000 not enough to cover the roughly $31,400 in tax debt alleged, court records show. The balance is now likely unrecoverable. Miis, a small Garland business owned by an elderly immigrant couple from Thailand, was never accused in court of violating any federal laws. The owners, Tony Thangsongcharoen, 68, ...
