Federal authorities have failed to protect pipeline rights-of-way from becoming pathways for illegal immigration and cartel activity that endangers pipeline inspectors, oilfield workers and ranchers, a top state regulator charged Friday.

Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter sent a letter Friday to U.S. Customs and Border Protection following recent reports that pipeline easements have become a corridor of choice for smugglers and their clients.    Continue reading “Feds aren’t protecting pipelines from cartels, Texas regulator says”

The British jihadist suspected of murdering American journalist James Foley has been identified, the Sunday Times reports. Government sources said that security agencies MI5 and MI6 have worked out the identity of the masked fighter, who is said to be known as “Jihadi John” to fellow Islamists, although they have so far declined to give the man’s identity.

Despite their reluctance to announce the killer’s identity, one key suspect is 23-year-old Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, who previously lived with his family in their £1 million home in London’s wealthy Maida Vale district.   Continue reading “‘Jihadi John’ Lookalike Sparks Speculation over Identity as Foley Killer Reportedly Identified”

Iran has shot down an Israeli spy drone trying to penetrate the “nuclear off-limits area” of the Natanz nuclear site, the Revolutionary Guards said on their website.

The downed aircraft was of the stealth, radar-evasive type and it intended to penetrate the off-limit nuclear area in Natanz… but was targeted by a ground-to-air missile before it managed to enter the area,” Reuters quotes the statement by the Revolutionary Guards.   Continue reading “Israeli spy drone downed near Iran’s Natanz nuclear plant – Revolutionary Guards”

US President Barack Obama’s healthcare insurance law was once seen as a big political advantage for the congressional Democrats as the Affordable Care Act was touted as “the largest tax cut for healthcare in American history.” But experts have come up with entirely different arguments about health insurance and tax refunds.

According to the experts, the Obamacare has made an already complicated tax system more complex for many consumers as over one third of the nearly seven million American households, receiving tax credits to help pay for Obamacare to get insured, will lose all or a portion of their expected tax refunds this year.   Continue reading “Obamacare-related Tax credits to lower Tax refunds of millions this year”

AP American Freed SyriaUSA Today – by Katharine Lackey

An American held captive for two years by an al-Qaeda-linked group in Syria was released Sunday, according to the Obama administration and his family.

“For two years, we have kept Peter Theo Curtis, a U.S. citizen held hostage in Syria, in our thoughts and prayers,” White House national security adviser Susan Rice said in a statement. “Today, we join his family and loved ones in welcoming his freedom.”   Continue reading “American held by al-Qaeda group freed in Syria”

The Los Angeles Ethics Commission voted unanimously last week to ask the City Council to consider “financial incentives, such as a lottery system” to draw voters to the polls.

You just know that if the city embraces this new low, then it will spread like a cancer across the land.

The City of Angels has a problem. As Ethics Commission President Nathan Hochman put it, campaign “spending is going up and voter turnout is going down.” Last year, 75 percent of registered voters skipped the mayor’s race, less than 10 percent voted in a recent school board special election. Hochman calls the dismal turnout “a crisis” and says “a crisis requires you to do something.”   Continue reading “L.A.’s idea of using a lottery to entice voters is a stinker”

Government leaders are expected to agree in November that the world’s top banks must issue special bonds to increase the amount of capital which can be tapped in a crisis instead of calling on taxpayers to come to the rescue, industry and G20 officials said.

The bonds, known as “gone concern loss absorption capacity” or GLAC, are seen by regulators as essential to stopping the world’s 29 biggest lenders from being “too big to fail”.   Continue reading “G20 edging towards deal on ‘bail-in’ bond cushion for banks”

Napa quakeLA Times – by LEE ROMNEY, RYAN PARKER

Long rolling temblor pegged at 6.0 by the U.S. Geological Survey shook a wide swath of the Bay Area awake early Sunday.

Centered about nine miles south of wine country’s Napa at 3:20 a.m., the quake was felt as far south as Santa Cruz and into Sonoma County. It was the largest earthquake to strike the Bay Area since the Loma Prieta temblor of 1989, the USGS said.   Continue reading “6.0 quake jolts Bay Area; outages, injuries reported”

The small, northwestern New Mexico city of Bloomfield is choosing orders handed down to Moses over one issued by a judge, but they say it is a matter of history, and not religion.

Leaders in the community of about 8,000, already under fire for refusing to remove a monument in front of City Hall, voted unanimously to appeal a federal court’s order. The 4-0 vote, said city attorney Ryan Lane, stays the judge’s order to remove the monument by the Sept. 10 deadline. Rather than fight the decision from the angle of freedom of speech and religion, Lane is going to present the monument as an historical document just like other monuments in the town depicting the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Gettysburg Address.   Continue reading “Ten Commandments part of history, N.M. city leaders to say in appeal of court order”

The Pentagon said Friday that a Chinese fighter jet made “several passes” by a U.S. Navy aircraft earlier this week off the coast of China in international airspace, baring its weapons and coming within mere feet of the U.S. plane.

Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said Washington has lodged a protest to China through diplomatic channels, calling the maneuver “very close” and “very dangerous.”   Continue reading “‘Very dangerous’: Pentagon says armed Chinese jet did ‘barrel roll’ over US aircraft”

This past week, I have been examining a recently leaked document from the Department Of Homeland Security entitled “Domestic Violent Extremists Pose A Threat To Government Officials And Law Enforcement.” (Yes; the title leaves nothing to the imagination.)

Generally, such documents are not classified. But it is internally accepted within establishment agencies that they should not be shared with the public. Similar documents like the Missouri Information Analysis Center report titled “The Modern Militia Movement” and the Virginia Fusion Center’s Terrorism Threat Assessment are not designed to import in-depth knowledge to law enforcement. In fact, if you actually investigate these white papers thoroughly, you will find they read like a mentally challenged middle-school student’s last-minute book report on liberty groups in America.   Continue reading “When ‘Anti-Government’ Violence Erupts, Who Is Really At Fault?”
