ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – One person was shot by police overnight, not far from the unrest that unfolded for the third night in Ferguson where last week’s shooting of an unarmed black teen sparked outrage.

Last night’s shooting happened just before 1 a.m. Wednesday at Chambers Road and Sheffingdell Court in unincorporated St. Louis County.

Police say they responded to a report about four masked men carrying shotguns in the area. The caller said the suspects had fired shots.   Continue reading “Another police shooting amid Ferguson protests”

The federal government unsuccessfully tried to house at least 400 illegal immigrant juveniles at empty stores, hotels, and warehouses in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, like many governors across the nation, was not even notified of these potential plans in July.

Ultimately, the Fox Valley region was unable to provide sites that were “within 100 miles of an airport.”   Continue reading “Report: Feds Wanted to House Illegals in Empty Hotels, Stores in Wisconsin”

More than 600 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions were released by federal authorities in early 2013 in advance of the “sequester” budget cuts, according to a government watchdog report obtained by FoxNews.com.

The report by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General showed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released “criminal aliens” from jails all over the country as part of a wave of releases in February 2013. The agency came under fire at the time for the decision, which critics described as politically motivated and dangerous.    Continue reading “Watchdog: 600-plus ‘criminal’ illegal immigrants released amid 2013 budget cuts”

Paul Craig Roberts and US Senator Charles Schumer published a jointly written article on the op-ed page of the New York Times titled “Second Thoughts on Free Trade.” The article pointed out that the US had entered a new economic era in which American workers face “direct global competition at almost every job level–from the machinist to the software engineer to the Wall Street analyst. Any worker whose job does not require daily face-to-face interaction is now in jeopardy of being replaced by a lower-paid equally skilled worker thousands of miles away. American jobs are being lost not to competition from foreign companies, but to multinational corporations that are cutting costs by shifting operations to low-wage countries.” Roberts and Schumer challenged the correctness of economists’ views that jobs off-shoring was merely the operation of mutually beneficial free trade, about which no concerns were warranted.   Continue reading “The De-industrialization of America”

Ukrainian officials said Tuesday that 280 trucks thought to be carrying humanitarian aid from Russia to the war-torn eastern Ukraine city of Luhansk would not be allowed to cross the border between the two countries.

Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said the convoy would not be allowed to pass because it had not been certified by the Red Cross. Lysenko also showed a covertly filmed video appearing to show vehicles similar to the white-canopied trucks dispatched from Moscow on Tuesday parked at a military base in Russia.   Continue reading “Ukraine says trucks carrying purported aid from Russia won’t be allowed across border”

In 2012, thirteen year old Justina Pelletier was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease, a disorder affecting 1 in every 4,000 children in the United States. When she developed a severe flu in February 2013, her parent’s parents took her to Boston Children’s Hospital. Doctors, who were not her regular physicians and were unfamiliar with her case, replaced her mito diagnosis with one of somatoform disorder, a psychiatric condition. When her parents disagreed, the hospital accused them of “medical abuse” – for following the instructions of their own licensed and respected physicians! The state of Massachusetts removed Justina from their custody and placed her in a foster home…   Continue reading “Protecting Your Children, Empowering You: The Parental Rights Amendment”
