This video of the Berkely shooting incident has surfaced and is being reported as being proof positive that Antonio Martin pointed a gun at the officer before being shot. The video is posted in the lowest resolution possible on Youtube and cut off just before the shooting takes place. So it’s not conclusive what Antonio was doing with his hand. He may have just been pointing at the officer.

But one thing it does prove is the altercation and subsequent shooting took place right in front of the officer’s police car. That dashcam had to have captured the whole thing in living color.   Continue reading “Video of Berkeley Shooting Does Not Definitively Show a Gun: Does Prove a Dash Cam Video Should Exist”

ERIE, Penn., Dec. 17, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ — The Ratio Christi chapter at San Jose State University received a letter from the university stating that the club has been “de-recognized.” In the letter, school officials explained their actions to be in compliance with a new California State University Executive Order regarding how an organization selects its officers.

Ratio Christi, like many other campus Christian organizations, requires that chapter officers adhere to the Christian faith and biblical beliefs. This means that non-Christians, or Christians who do not feel it is necessary to follow New Testament principles as a guide for their daily lives, are not eligible for officer positions in the group. The State of California now deems this as “discriminatory” and punishable by de-recognition.   Continue reading “Ratio Christi Club Kicked Off of San Jose State University Campus”

If political parties did not lie, steal, cheat and control vote counts, they might never win elections. And the mechanism that enables them to fake votes, steal elections and dominate Congress, alas, also allows our own government to bring us Sandy Hook, the Boston bombing and other forms of abuse, including pilfering our pensions and looting our bank accounts.

In the past, Democrats earned reputations for “machine politics” in cities like Chicago. But today, the advent of electronic voting machines whose company owners–including some Republican candidates themselves–are tied to the GOP has turned election theft into a science: they can steal whole states at a time!   Continue reading “Voter Fraud vs. Election Theft: The Wisconsin Scott Walker re-election”
