A new ACLU report accuses Ohio courts of imprisoning people who are unable to pay court fees. The group, which claims to have found evidence in seven counties, likened the practice to a resurgence of debtor’s prisons – which were outlawed by the 1830s.

Entitled “The Outskirts of Hope,” the report also accuses Ohio judges of consistently denying those locked up in such circumstances court hearings to prove their financial status.   Continue reading “ACLU catches Ohio jailing those too poor to pay fines”

At a time when the Obama administration and the petroleum industry are advocating for expanding domestic oil production, it is worth pointing out that the nation’s largest refinery is not American owned.

The Motiva oil refinery, located in Port Arthur, Texas, is controlled by Royal Dutch Shell and Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in Saudi Arabia and in the world.   Continue reading “Largest Oil Refinery in U.S. is Owned by Saudi Royal Family and Anglo-Dutch”

Oregon children to be vaccinated against parents' willExaminer – by MIKAEL THALEN

Parents in Marion County, Oregon lost their battle in court Wednesday to choose whether or not their eight children would be vaccinated after losing custody to the state last year.

A ruling from The Oregon Court of Appeals said that the parents did not have the right to exempt their children from forced vaccinations after child welfare workers and the Oregon Department of Human Services fought to obtain a court order demanding the children receive multiple vaccinations last year.   Continue reading “Court rules 8 Oregon children to be vaccinated against parents’ will”

This is why I hate NY. Most restrictive and convoluted laws nearly anywhere. They have thrown common sense out the window and replaced it with red tape. The latest rubbish coming out of the anti-gun state, makes no sense.

Beth Arneson Ferrizzi legally checked her gun in her departure city, Fargo, North Dakota on a Delta Flight to La Guardia.  She called Delta to find out how to do this legally. They told her the firearm had to be unloaded, stored in a hard sided and locked case. They told her the ammunition had to be stored separated. Not Separate from the gun, but separated, either in their original packaging or in a container that keeps the bullets from touching each other.  She made sure it was exactly as Delta said.   Continue reading “Pregnant mom charged with felony after trying to check an unloaded gun at the airport.”

JERUSALEM – Is the Obama administration’s military build up in the Pacific part of the president’s so-called pivot-toward-Asia strategy, a move that could demonstrate the biggest shift in world power since World War II?

Specifically, is Washington using the North Korean nuclear standoff as an excuse to shift massive military might to Asia just as China and other powers seek to create a new economic order that would rival the Western-dominated World Bank and International Monetary Fund?   Continue reading “Is THIS the Real Reason Obama’s Confronting North Korea?”

For all those savers and investors young enough not to remember the 1971 American film classic, “Dirty Harry,” there is a scene in the beginning of the film in which the protagonist, San Francisco Detective Harry Callahan (played by Clint Eastwood) interrupts an afternoon bank robbery by shooting the three perpetrators as they try to escape.

Harry kills two of the robbers but one wounded bandit lying on the street contemplates picking up his fallen shot gun to shoot Harry. At this juncture, Clint Eastwood levels his .44 magnum hand gun at the wounded robber who is trying to recall if Callahan has fired all the rounds in his revolver. Callahan says, “I know what you’re thinkin’. Did he fire six shots or only five?… You’ve got to ask yourself one question…Do you feel lucky?… Well, do you, punk?”   Continue reading “Dirty Harry to World Savers “You’ve got to ask yourself – Do you Feel Lucky?””

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s proposed budget will call for reductions in the growth of Social Security and other benefit programs while still insisting on more taxes from the wealthy in a renewed attempt to strike a broad deficit-cutting deal with Republicans.

The proposal aims for a compromise on the Fiscal 2014 budget by combining the president’s demand for higher taxes with GOP insistence on reductions in entitlement programs. But the plan was already encountering negative reviews from top Republicans for insisting on revenue and from liberals for its effect on the social safety net.   Continue reading “Obama seeks deal, proposes cuts to Social Security”

What seemed like good news in Friday’s jobs report was a little less than that — the unemployment rate fell, but not because more people found work.

Instead, the rate was lower because the Labor Department estimated that there are nearly half a million fewer people in the labor force — the group that includes people with a job or looking for one.   Continue reading “Unemployment rate falls for all the wrong reasons”

White House mouthpiece Jay Carney says that the Obama administration will “conduct a thorough review” of the UN’s newly enacted gun control pact “to determine whether to sign the treaty.” The suspense is hardly unbearable, given that the UN treaty would codify the proposition that national governments should have a monopoly on weapons.

The announced objective of the treaty is to regulate the sale and transfer of small arms and light weapons, a category that includes all civilian-owned firearms. According to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, the treaty “will help to keep warlords, pirates, terrorists, criminals and their like from acquiring deadly arms.”   Continue reading ““State Control”: What the UN Firearms Treaty is All About”

Legislation currently being finessed by Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Democrats poses threats to privacy rights as well as a danger of creating unintentional criminals, American Civil Liberties Union “top lobbyist” Chris Calabrese told The Daily Caller’s Vince Coglianese in an exclusive article posted early this morning.

“[T]he group thinks Reid’s current gun bill could threaten both privacy rights and civil liberties,” the report explains. “The inclusion ofuniversal background checks — the poll-tested lynchpin of most Democratic proposals — raises two significant concerns.”   Continue reading “‘Universal background check’ opponents get unexpected boost from ACLU”
