Akron, OH — A video of several officers arresting an Ohio man went viral as it shows police officers on top of 47-year-old Patrick King, tasering him and punching him over and over—more than 30 times. According to King the stop should have never happened as he was simply walking back from the neighborhood store and stopped to talk to a friend. Now, after the department failed to hold the officers accountable for their alleged crimes, the taxpayers will be held liable instead.

“The process of completely freeing oneself emotionally from being a Communist is a thing no outsider can understand. The group thinking and group planning and the group life of the Party had been a part of me for so long that it was desperately difficult for me to be a person again. … But I had begun the process of ‘unbecoming’ a Communist. It was a long and painful process, much like that of a polio victim who has to learn to walk all over again. I had to learn to think. I had to learn to love. I had to drain the hate and frenzy from my system. I had to dislodge the self and the pride that had made me arrogant, made me feel that I knew all the answers. I had to learn that I knew nothing. There were many stumbling blocks in this process.” Continue reading “Quotes from virulently ex-communist Bella Dodd, 1904 – 1969”

We are now living in a bizarre world in which children barely old enough to pick what clothes to wear to school are allowed to make life-altering decisions.
The state of South Dakota House of Representatives passed a bill that would prevent physicians from giving puberty blockers to children under 16 years of age in order to help them transition to a new gender, but it was not to be.
