Back in January, Trump took a very public victory lap when Ford decided to scrap plans to build a $1.6 billion manufacturing facility in Mexico and invest in its Michigan facilities instead (we discussed it here: Trump Takes Victory Lap After Ford Cancels $1.6 Billion Mexican Expansion Plan As “Vote Of Confidence” In President-Elect).
As Ford announced at the time, the decision was sold to the public and the United Auto Workers as an opportunity to permanently shift production capacity, that would have otherwise been built in Mexico, back to Wayne, Michigan.

AUGUSTA, Maine (June 19, 2017) – Last week, Maine Gov. Paul LePage signed a bill into law prohibiting any type of state firearms registry. The law will not only protect the privacy of Maine gun owners, it will also hinder the federal government’s ability to develop a firearms database and create a climate less favorable to federal gun control.
Rep. Patrick Corey (R-Windham) introduced House Bill 9 (LD9) with a bipartisan coalition of cosponsors in January. The legislation prohibits the creation of a state firearms registry. Continue reading “Signed by the Governor: Maine Law Prohibits State Gun Registries”

Orange County, FL — There’s probably no better example, to highlight the systemic problem our system of justice currently faces, than the following story. An elderly man, William Howard (75), who had never been in trouble with the law before, had a run-in with police after his wife said he “began to act strange.”
Howard was arrested and taken to jail for attacking his wife with a knife. But it’s what happened next which illustrates just how violent the system truly is. Continue reading “Elderly Man Dies After Officers Slam Him On His Head, Break His Neck”
The US is definitely going to be sending more ground troops to Afghanistan soon, but, as AntiWar.com’s Jason Ditz notes, the exact number is yet to be determined, with the Pentagon today backing away from media reports yesterday that they’d settled on a figure of 4,000 more troops, saying no final decisions have been made yet on numbers.

Taunton, MA — In the Land of the Free, you can and will be charged and convicted of manslaughter for texting your teenage boyfriend and telling him to kill himself. No physical action was needed on the part of Michelle Carter, then 17, to be complicit in her boyfriend’s death other than sending text over the digital either to be read by the troubled teen.
According to the AP, Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz found that Michelle Carter caused the death of Conrad Roy III, who intentionally filled his truck with carbon monoxide in a store parking lot in July 2014. Carter cried and clutched a handkerchief to her face as Moniz detailed her conduct in explaining how he reached his verdict, but she was stoic when it was formally pronounced.

Two days after Trump ceded unilateral authority on Afghan troop deployments to the Department of Defense, the Pentagon wasted on time and according to AP, the Pentagon will send 4,000 additional American forces to Afghanistan to support existing forces and in hopes of breaking a stalemate in a war that has now been passed on to a third U.S. President. The deployment will be the largest of American manpower under Donald Trump’s young presidency.
According to AP, the decision by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis could be announced as early as next week, and was prompted by “the rising threat posed by Islamic State extremists, evidenced in a rash of deadly attacks in the capital city of Kabul, has only fueled calls for a stronger U.S. presence, as have several recent American combat deaths.” Asked for comment, a Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, said, “No decisions have been made.” Continue reading “Pentagon To Send 4,000 Troops To Afghanistan In Trump’s Largest Deployment Yet”

On Tuesday, a corrections employee committed suicide and set off several CS canisters at the Nevada Southern Detention Center in Pahrump in an apparent response to a finding out his wife was committing adultery with another employee at the facility.

Around 6 pm on Tuesday, a fire alarm was triggered and in response to that alarm, the employee’s body was discovered. No fire was found. Continue reading “Love Triangle Influences Employee to Kill Himself & Set off CS Canisters at Detention Center Holding Bundy Ranch Defendants”
Oregon on Thursday became the first U.S. state to allow residents to identify as neither male nor female on state driver’s licenses, a decision that transgender advocates called a victory for civil rights.
Under a policy unanimously adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission, residents can choose to have an “X,” for non-specified, displayed on their driver’s license or identification cards rather than an “M” for male or “F” for female. Continue reading “Male, female or X? Oregon adds third option to driver’s licenses”
U.S. Representative Steve Scalise’s condition has improved but remained critical on Thursday, a day after a man who had expressed anger toward President Donald Trump opened fire on Republican lawmakers at a baseball practice.
Trump on Thursday reiterated his call for unity in the aftermath of the shooting in the Washington suburb of Alexandria, Virginia. But Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, criticized some Republicans who have blamed the shooting on vitriol from the political left.

It must have been a slow news day for the Washington Post as the paper of record appears to be regurgitating the same headline it already reported nearly a month ago. In any event, WaPo would like you to know that more anonymous sources, presumably from Special Counsel Mueller’s team (expect another furious Trump tweet in response) have leaked more details to the media, according to which Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is now being investigated by Mueller for potential ties to the ‘Russian interference’ scandal.

Cleveland, OH — In what can only be referred to as a travesty of justice and a disgrace to the integrity of police departments nationwide, five officers who took part in the 137-shot, execution-style fusillade that killed an unarmed couple — will get their jobs back.
The sixth cop, Michael Brelo will remain free from jail but has been fired. He has since become a gypsy cop, scrounging for a job at any department that will hire him. Continue reading “Cops Get Jobs Back After Executing Unarmed Couple with 137 Shots Over a Traffic Violation”

While the rest of the United States seems fixated on this week’s Senate hearing testimony of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (to discuss his involvement in the pseudo-scandal which is the meddling of the Russians in the presidential election of 2016) lawyers suing the DNC for fraud have asked for special protection for their lives.
The sheer number of plaintiffs are too many to mention in this article. The original motion to sue the Democratic National Committee and Debbie Wasserman Schultz can be seen by clicking here. They allege, thanks to leaked DNC emails published by Wikileaks, that the DNC and former Chairwoman Wasserman-Schultz actively discriminated against Senator Bernie Sanders as a DNC candidate.

Following the shooting this morning at a practice session for the Republican Congressional baseball team that left five people with gunshot wounds – including House Minority Whip Steve – worries that more leftist-inspired violence could rock the capital have left Congressional offices on high alert.
While Congressional offices receive no shortage of hate mail – some of which is disturbing or even threatening, a message received in the wake of today’s shooting by the office of New York Republican Congresswoman Claudia Tenney understandably raised some red flags: Continue reading ““One Down, 216 To Go” – NY Rep Received Threatening Email After Virginia Shooting”
