TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A popular tourist attraction in southern Arizona is at risk of being contaminated with orange and brown sludge that spilled from two abandoned mines near Patagonia.

ANKARA, TURKEY—NATO allies Turkey and the United States differed Monday on where they stand on the use of a key air base, with Turkish officials denying reports from the United States that there was a new agreement on its use for operations against Islamic State militants.

The impasse suggests that major differences remain between the two sides. Turkey has said it won’t join the fight against the extremists unless the U.S.-led coalition also goes after the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad, including establishing a no-fly zone and a buffer zone along the Turkish border.

A new report from the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA) has highlighted four sections of the San Andreas fault that are locked in place and building up pressure.

Fault creep describes the slight slips, and the release of small amounts of pressure that build up on fault lines. Without the creep that most faults exhibit, the pressure builds and builds until there is a major earthquake when the ‘stuck’ rocks suddenly move and the pressure is released.   Continue reading “Four Sections of the San Andreas Fault are ‘Locked’ and Building Up Pressure”

According to sources on Capitol Hill, Valerie Jarrett received a scathing indictment from an individual responsible for raising millions of dollars for the Obama campaign in 2012 and 2008. This top political bundler went so far to threaten the earning power of the Obama brand after 2016 – a threat that apparently had Jarrett jumping into action to try and salvage the president’s quickly sinking public image, including the sudden cancelling of two already scheduled fundraising appearances.   Continue reading “D.C.

An alleged rape victim says Chattanooga police officer Karl Fields pulled her into a men’s bathroom, pushed her against a wall and kissed her.

The woman, who says she had been raped in a bathroom a month earlier, had a panic attack. She says she pulled away from Fields and ran outside.

The woman and Fields met at El Meson Restaurante in Hixson on June 25 because Fields, the investigating officer, said he wanted to discuss her case and introduce her to a man who could give her a job. But when they sat down over Mexican food and mixed drinks, Fields told her he was sexually attracted to her. He said he wanted a relationship with her.   Continue reading “Alleged rape victim sues city, says Chattanooga police officer harassed her”

Tennessee Court of Criminal AppealsThe Newspaper

The US Supreme Court’s McNeely decision (view case) has made it much more difficult for police officers to forcibly draw blood from motorists without a warrant. Last week, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals became the latest to apply the precedent to discourage the practice statewide.

Defendants in these driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) cases are rarely sympathetic figures. Cases that reach the appellate level usually have prior convictions and were visibly intoxicated at the time of arrest, but the principles that allow officers to forcibly draw blood from repeat offenders also allows them to draw blood from innocent motorists.   Continue reading “Tennessee Courts Crack Down On Cops Taking Blood From Drivers”

If the people really wanted change for the better, all they’d have to do is follow the original documents as written, as well as forcing, all elected officials to do so, likewise. Change for the better, would then come naturally. It’s so simple that even children can see it. But those in positions of usurped authority can only envision their own selfish desires.

It’s time for a major change, back to the ideologies and beliefs in which our founders established. Once the reset button has been pushed, and all the criminals which have invaded our system, and having been eradicated, those which will arise from the fray, will be the American Patriot. They’ll display the determination and resolve to restore and KEEP our cherished Republic. They’ll also have the character and morals to accomplish the task at hand. The leadership qualities which will be needed and possessed by these Men and Women will enable them.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s authority to confront its illegal immigration woes was again reined in Wednesday when a federal appeals court threw out a 2006 voter-approved law denying bail to people in the country illegally who are charged with certain crimes.

The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals follows other battles over the state’s immigration policies, including rulings that struck down much of Arizona’s landmark 2010 immigration enforcement law.   Continue reading “Courts reject another Arizona immigration law”

One of three centers used for detaining Central American families who have entered the U.S. illegally this year has started releasing many more detainees than it deports, a New Mexico city official said.

Federal immigration authorities reported 61 releases and no deportations last week at the Artesia Family Residential Center in southeastern New Mexico, Artesia Mayor Phillip Burch said.

It was at least the second week in a row that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement authorities reported to Artesia officials that more detainees were released than deported.   Continue reading “Mayor: More Immigrant Families Freed Than Deported”
