Two Christian ministers who own an Idaho wedding chapel were told they had to either perform same-sex weddings or face jail time and up to $1,000 in daily fines, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court.

Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Donald and Evelyn Knapp, two ordained ministers who own the Hitching Post Wedding Chapel in Coeur d’Alene.

“Right now they are at risk of being prosecuted,” attorney Jeremy Tedesco told me. “The threat of enforcement is more than just credible.”   Continue reading “City Threatens to Arrest Ministers Who Refuse to Perform Same-Sex Weddings”

MERIDIAN, ID — A SWAT team swarmed into a charity-based community yard sale pointing weapons and “scaring the heck out of” bystanders.

The raid took place at the “Neighborhood Angel” yard sale in Meridian, Idaho, which annually sells donated items to benefit a young girl suffering from cancer.  When a 39-year-old man arrived on a motorcycle to browse the tables on September 22, 2014, the event organizer described him as an “Every day kind of a guy, [an] all-American boy.”   Continue reading “Idaho SWAT team storms community yard sale in front of customers, children”

Multiple ambulances have been sent to a disturbance Saturday afternoon at the Pumpkin Festival near Keene State College in New Hampshire, and one incident drew “multiple responses” from Keene Police, officials said.

The Keene police and fire departments would not say if people were injured or provide details of what was happening. A police dispatcher did say the response was to an incident at the Pumpkin Festival.

According to a witness, police responded in riot gear early Saturday afternoon and used tear gas to break up the crowd.   Continue reading “Police, ambulances respond to chaotic scene near Keene State College”

The survivalist charged with murdering a Pennsylvania trooper and wounding another was spotted near his old high school carrying a rifle and with mud smeared on his face, police said on Saturday, five weeks after a manhunt for the suspect began.

Eric Frein, 31, who is on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, was spotted by a woman in a “surprise encounter” while she was taking a walk, said Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police.

The woman said she came as close as 15 or 20 feet away from a man who police believe was Frein as he was standing on the side of the road at about 9 p.m. on Friday.   Continue reading “Pennsylvania ambush suspect spotted carrying gun, police say”

On the cusp of the historical GOLD REPATRIATION REFERENDUM in Switzerland, I thought it fitting to remind the Swiss people of the vital importance of this votation.

VOTE YES to Gold Repatriation on November 30th 2014 or say goodbye to the Swiss way of life and hello to inflation, rising prices, unemployment, higher taxes, foreclosures, austerity, loss of sovereignty, social decay and unrest and all the other good stuff that comes with Central Bank money printing!   Continue reading “To The Good People of Switzerland…Your Gold is All Gone!”

The California Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to hear a case challenging California’s controversial high-speed rail project, clearing the way for the state to sell up to $9 billion in bonds to start building tracks and stations.

The refusal to revisit an appeals court decision favoring the project comes as the state is beginning demolition work on the first phase of the project, which is meant to eventually connect far-flung parts of the state from San Diego to San Francisco and Sacramento.   Continue reading “California high court refuses to hear high-speed rail case, clears way for bonds”

The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city’s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court.

“The city’s subpoena of sermons and other pastoral communications is both needless and unprecedented,” Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Christina Holcomb said in a statement. “The city council and its attorneys are engaging in an inquisition designed to stifle any critique of its actions.”   Continue reading “City of Houston demands pastors turn over sermons”

It is a scandal in contemporary international law, don’t forget, that while “wanton destruction of towns, cities and villages” is a war crime of long standing, the bombing of cities from airplanes goes not only unpunished but virtually unaccused. Air bombardment is state terrorism, the terrorism of the rich. It has burned up and blasted apart more innocents in the past six decades than have all the antistate terrorists who ever lived. Something has benumbed our consciousness against this reality. In the United States we would not consider for the presidency a man who had once thrown a bomb into a crowded restaurant, but we are happy to elect a man who once dropped bombs from airplanes that destroyed not only restaurants but the buildings that contained them and the neighborhoods that surrounded them. I went to Iraq after the Gulf war and saw for myself what the bombs did; “wanton destruction” is just the term for it. – C. Douglas Lummis, political scientist

Scientists across the world are scrambling to develop an Ebola vaccine to quell the deadly outbreak in West Africa, but the top scientist at the National Institutes of Health says his agency would likely have one by now if it weren’t for the steep budget cuts imposed by Congress.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Dr. Francis Collins said, “Frankly, if we had not gone through our 10-year slide in research support, we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that would’ve gone through clinical trials and would have been ready.”   Continue reading “Biggest Threat to An Ebola Outbreak? Budget Cuts”

Concerned about potential security risks, the U.S. government is taking a close look at last week’s sale of New York’s iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel to a Chinese insurance company.

U.S. officials said Monday they are reviewing the Oct. 6 purchase of the Waldorf by the Beijing-based Anbang Insurance Group, which bought the hotel from Hilton Worldwide for $1.95 billion. Terms of the sale allow Hilton to run the hotel for the next 100 years and call for “a major renovation” that officials say has raised eyebrows in Washington, where fears of Chinese eavesdropping and cyber espionage run high.   Continue reading “US Eyes Sale of NY’s Waldorf Hotel to Chinese Firm”

At 1532ET today (Columbus Day – with half the market absent), someone – apparently having waited to see if the almost ‘ubiquitous’ 330pm Ramp would occur – decided it was time to dump three-quarters of a billion dollars notional of US equity market exposure in 1 second. The results of this forced liquidation (or utter disregard for fiduciary duty) were as follows…

Two gunmen walked into a radio station and killed a local activist while he was giving his weekly radio program, prosecutors in the northern Mexico state of Sinaloa said. It was the first on-air killing in recent memory in Mexico.

The victim, Atilano Roman Tirado, was the leader of a group of about 800 farm families whose lands were flooded by dam construction several years ago. His group, known as the Displaced Persons of Picachos — after the name of the dam — has been demanding compensation for the land.   Continue reading “Mexican Activist Slain During Radio Broadcast”
