An important — and expensive — incentive for legal action involving the Department of Justice will come to an abrupt end. The DoJ announced this morning that it would end the practice of crafting settlements to lawsuits that resulted in significant financial awards to activists groups, a practice that had flourished in Barack Obama’s administration. A memo from Attorney General Jeff Sessions rejects this policy, saying any punitive and restorative damages collected in lawsuits should go to American taxpayers: In a memo sent to 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices early Wednesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he would end the practice that allowed companies to meet ...

Egypt, the UAE, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, and the Maldives — spearheaded by Saudi Arabia — have severed almost all of their ties with Qatar. The move comes just days after hacked emails from the Hotmail account of a wealthy, prominent UAE ambassador, Yousef Al-Otaiba, showed that a number of countries were conspiring to denigrate relations with Qatar (and Iran). The official justification for Saudi Arabia’s rift with Qatar is that the latter country aligns with terrorists and threatens national security. However, both Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been alleged to support ISIS, and Saudi Arabia’s history of support by Saudi ...

Syracuse, NY — Brad Hulett (39) is arguably one of the unluckiest men who’s ever lived. When he was 12, he was hit by two trains, and permanently disabled, and a portion of his brain was removed. At 27, he was run over by a truck. Both accidents left him permanently disabled. The train accident caused his left side to be practically useless. His brain surgery caused his skull to appear dented when half of his brain was removed. The man vs. truck incident resulted in constant back pain, aggravated most by standing. But it wasn’t until he had a run-in with Syracuse police officers that his luck, once again, took a turn for the worse. Officers were called to the bus where he ...

A police officer working off-duty at an Ohio public library broke a 17-year-old girl's jaw while removing her from the premises, a lawsuit filed by the girl's mother this week alleges.

The teenager, referred to in the complaint as J.G., and her 11-year-old brother, referred to as D.J., settled first in the children's section of the library, according to the lawsuit, but moved to the ...

When the governor called, Sherry Japhet answered. Japhet is a freelance makeup artist from Boise, Idaho. She's worked in the business for more than 20 years, but without a license. That's never been a problem for her. She's landed gigs from coast-to-coast, working on television sets and for fashion magazines. Some of those calls came from Idaho Gov. Butch Otter. Japhet has helped Otter and his wife, Lori, look their best for televised public service announcements and political ads. No more, she says.

CLEARWATER — When Michael Leonardo and two backup officers arrived at the youth shelter on the morning of April 2, the 13-year-old boy was still simmering from a fight.He'd calmed down in the time it took the Clearwater police officers to respond to reports that he was kicking walls and screaming in the shelter after a dispute with a roommate. They arrested him on a battery charge and led him outside with his hands cuffed behind his back. The prospect of going back to juvenile detention had riled him up again, and he cursed at the officers, according to an internal investigation. But that behavior didn't warrant what happened next, Chief Dan Slaughter said Wednesday. ...

Sharia law in Idaho. The three Muslim refugee boys who plead guilty in the heinous sexual attack of a five-year-old girl in Idaho were sentenced yesterday. No jail time. The judge barred everyone in the courtroom, including the victim’s own parents, from speaking about the case and threatened anyone with serious consequences if they violated his edict. Unheard of. The sexual assault occurred at Fawnbrook Apartments, in Twin Falls, when a 5-year-old was lured into a laundry room, stripped of her clothing, urinated on, and orally and anally raped while the oldest boy filmed the entire incident. Now, following a sentencing hearing Monday at the Snake River Juvenile Detention Center in ...

Fox News host Neil Cavuto tore into President Donald Trump on Tuesday night for Trump's continued social-media outbursts that targeted the news media and members of his own administration in recent days. "Mr. President, it's not the 'fake-news media' that's your problem," Cavuto said. "It's you. It's not just your tweeting — it's your scapegoating. It's your refusal to see that sometimes you're the one who's feeding your own beast — and acting beastly with your own guys." Trump this week publicly expressed his disappointment with the Justice Department for its handling of his now-blocked "travel ban," ...
Kansas lawmakers reject Brownback’s ‘experiment,’ force taxes higher

Just how spectacularly has Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s (R) radical economic “experiment” failed? Enough to lead a Republican-led legislature in a ruby-red state to force taxes higher. The Wichita Eagle reported overnight on GOP officials in Kansas embracing the one policy contemporary Republicans almost never even consider. Lawmakers rolled back Gov. Sam Brownback’s signature tax policy over his objections Tuesday night, forcing into law tax increases to fix a budget shortfall and provide more money for schools. The legislation ends the “march to zero” income tax cuts that Brownback heralded for much of his time as governor…. The increases are expected to ...
DELINGPOLE: ‘Global Warming’ Is a Myth, Say 58 Scientific Papers in 2017

“Global warming” is a myth — so say 80 graphs from 58 peer-reviewed scientific papers published in 2017. In other words, the so-called “Consensus” on global warming is a massive lie. And Donald Trump was quite right to quit the Paris agreement which pretended that the massive lie was true. By “global warming” these papers don’t, of course, mean the mild warming of around 0.8 degrees Celsius that the planet has experienced since the middle of the 19th century as the world crawled out of the Little Ice Age. Pretty much everyone, alarmists and skeptics alike, is agreed on that.Rather, they mean “global warming” in the sense that is most ...
Trump Proposes Major Overhaul of Outdated U.S. Air Traffic Control System

And believe it or not, his proposal isn't half bad.President Trump, in a speech Monday, promised to replace the current government-owned and operated air traffic control system with a private "self-financing, non-profit organization" relying on user fees, not taxes, to fund itself. The idea is not new. Canada, the U.K., and Germany are among the roughly 50 countries that privatized air traffic control. It has been a long-fought goal of libertarians like Bob Poole, senior transportation analyst for the Reason Foundation (the nonprofit that publishes this website). Poole has argued since the 1970s the "high-tech 24/7 service business" that is air traffic control ...

The 25-year-old woman who stole “Top Secret” documents from the National Security Agency and leaked them to The Intercept appears to be a supporter of Bernie Sanders and other progressive icons, such as Bill Maher and Michael Moore. Reality Leigh Winner’s apparent social media footprint also shows that she is a supporter of other liberal causes, including the Women’s March and the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim civil rights group. How does someone so full of poison get top secret security clearance? Does anyone responsible for vetting check social media? Additionally, she pledged her allegiance to Iran in the case ...

Here's How Donald Trump Could Actually Be Impeached By Chris Riotta 6/6/17 The most critical moment thus far in the federal probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election will arrive Thursday, when former FBI Director James Comey testifies in front of the Senate intelligence committee just weeks after he was fired by President Donald Trump. Democratic lawmakers have already gotten a head start on drafting articles of impeachment, claiming the president obstructed justice by firing the FBI director to ease the burden of the investigation on his new White House administration. But constitutional law experts tell Newsweek the exhaustive political process to remove the ...

CUT THE CRAP. ISLAM MUST BE EXTERMINATED. HERE’S HOW. So, a little review for those of you who may be new. Islam is a political system, NOT a religion, and unless and until humanity wakes the hell up and STOPS referring to it as a religion, there is no hope. Islam is a hyper-aggressive, militaristic, expansionist, totalitarian political system designed to create a super-rich micro-oligarchical ruling class with a massive, destitute, genetically handicapped underclass below. The paper-thin faux-religious facade was a conscious, specific con from the very beginning – much like Mormonism and Scientology – a pure racket using borrowed and piggy-backed religious motifs to lend ...

BalkanInsight.com is reporting today that Montenegro will on Wednesday officially become the 24th Christian nation to join NATO, finally fulfilling my prediction # 7 in 2016 in Bible Prophecy (posted on the7lastplagues.com). It is important because there are some here on LF who have accused me of making a false prophecy. But of course it is not a false prophecy because I always precede my annual predictions with "They are based on the Bible and cannot fail to come true, though I am sometimes ahead of God's timetable by a year or two." In this case, I was ahead of God's timetable by about 5 1/2 months which is not bad. The next thing that must happen is: All of the NATO ...

Activist Linda Sarsour has raised more than $80,000 for a Somali woman who claims she was attacked by a white man in a hate crime, but there’s much more to the story, the two people accused of the hate attack tell The Daily Caller. Sarsour started the fundraiser for Rahma Warsame, a 40-year-old single mother who lives in Columbus, Ohio, who says she was attacked on Saturday night by a white man while defending a friend. Sarsour, a leader in the pro-Palestine cause who has come under fire for her sympathetic views on sharia law, posted a picture of Warsame in the hospital and said that she has four missing teeth, a swollen face, swollen nose and busted lip.
