Rand Paul UC BerkeleyCNS News – by Patrick Goodenough

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has a tongue-in-cheek suggestion for President Obama: Negotiate another prisoner exchange, but this time trade five senior Democrats for a U.S. Marine being held in Mexico.

Addressing the GOP convention in Fort Worth, Texas Friday, Paul said a delegate he had been chatting to had said, “There is one guy who is kind of deserving we ought to try to get home, and that’s the Marine who accidentally carried his guns into Mexico.”   Continue reading “Rand Paul: Swap 5 Dems for Marine Held in Mexico: ‘I’m Thinking John Kerry, Hillary …””

Two Las Vegas police officers were killed Sunday in what appears to be a politically motivated ambush in a pizza restaurant that spilled over to a nearby Wal-Mart, where the two shooters committed suicide after killing a woman in the store.

Details are sketchy, but Metropolitan Police Department sources close to the investigation say the shooters shouted that “this is the start of a revolution” before opening fire on the officers, and draped their bodies with cloth showing a Revolutionary War-era flag. Investigators have also found paraphernalia associated with white supremacists.   Continue reading “Shooters in Metro ambush that left five dead spoke of white supremacy and a desire to kill police”

Shortly before midnight on a warm night in May 1996, officer George “Gregg” Pease pulled his Las Vegas police cruiser into the desert behind a storage yard off Dean Martin Drive. In his car was a notebook with the name Henry Rowe scrawled inside.

Both men had seen their share of recent troubles. Rowe, 50, was living in a wash behind the building. Pease, 31, dogged by controversy in his eight years with the Metro­politan Police Department, had killed two men in 21 months and had been disciplined for seeing a prostitute while off-duty.   Continue reading “Analysis: Many Las Vegas police shootings could have been avoided”

Former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s recent admission of being wrong to vote for the war on Iraq as senator is an attempt to win the public opinion for the 2016 US presidential election, a political analyst tells Press TV.

“She wants to remove debris from her path to the White House in two years,” Franklin Lamb, an international lawyer, said in an interview with Press TV.   Continue reading “Clinton seeks to clear way into White House: Analyst”

A “super PAC” supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton’s possible presidential campaign is reaching out to some of New York’s most powerful and wealthy gay and lesbian donors.

The group, Ready for Hillary, has built a name for itself with small-dollar grass-roots outreach and the selling of clever items like an iPhone case with the well-recognized image of Mrs. Clinton texting in dark sunglasses. But on April 7 the group will hold a higher-dollar event hosted by Jon Stryker, a billionaire philanthropist and Clinton donor, and featuring Gavin Newsom, the lieutenant governor of California and former mayor of San Francisco.   Continue reading “Pro-Clinton Group Plans Event Focused on Gay and Lesbian Donors”

We need police to catch murderers, thieves and con men, and so we give them special power — the power to use force on others. Sadly, today’s police use that power to invade people’s homes over accusations of trivial, nonviolent offenses — and often do it with tanks, battering rams and armor you’d expect on battlefields.

In his book “Rise of the Warrior Cop,” Radley Balko recounts the rise of police SWAT teams (SWAT stands for Special Weapons And Tactics) armed with heavy military equipment. SWAT raids began as rarely used methods of dealing with violent situations, like hostage-takings.

RENO — A state judge has ordered an opponent of state Sen. Ben Kieckhefer of Reno to pull a TV ad that says the Republican incumbent supported Democratic U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in his 2010 race against Republican Sharron Angle.

At least five people were killed during the assault on Friday, local eyewitness Vitaly told RT, adding that it was impossible to assess how many people could have been injured in the deserted city where “whole streets” were “obliterated.”   Continue reading “Slavyansk blockade: Shelling non-stop, shops closed, no meds, no chance to evacuate”

Two weeks after Elliot Rodger stabbed three people and shot three more, a trio of legislators from California, including Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, have proposed a new federal law called “The Pause for Safety Act”.

The law would allow anyone at any time to seek a “firearms restraining order” against an individual to prevent them from purchasing any new firearms and also to confiscate any firearms they may already own. They’re so confident the law is good that states will be bribed into complying through a federal grant program.

As the U.S. government pushes for regular mental health screenings for American citizens to ensure we are not terrorists and that we are capable of owning firearms or raising children, perhaps we should start at the top of the hierarchy – with the President of the United States.

He is, after all, the “decision maker” for our nation and is the sole person responsible for determining if and when the “red button” needs to be pushed.   Continue reading “Psychologist Concerned About Mental Stability of President: Obama May Not Be “Sane””
