Immediately after hearing about the patient, Sgt. Michael Monnig, in Frisco yesterday afternoon and how they had people escorting him out wearing hazmat suits, I took it upon myself to go to the location 301 W Main St. (since it was only about 10-15 minutes away from me) to check it out for myself to see if it was real or not. After arriving there around 5:30pm, I was expecting to see police cars lined up for a half a mile, quarantines, checkpoints and even people in hazmat suits.

I saw NONE of this. All that was there were a few news vehicles and a helicopter (most likely a news helicopter) circling the sky. THAT’S IT!   Continue reading “FRISCO CARE-NOW AREA: Was it Real or just a Staged Fear-mongering Show?”

A 46-year-old Queens man died shortly after being placed in handcuffs by NYPD officers yesterday afternoon. Police say Daniel Levitt Jr. ran from officers after trying to ditch them on a scooter in Ridgewood shortly after 2 p.m. According to the NYPD, Levitt Jr. was wanted on an outstanding warrant related to a prior arrest for shoplifting an iPad Mini, and when officers in an unmarked car pulled up to him, he sped off on a scooter, heading the wrong way down Grandview Avenue.

Sources tell the Times that Levitt Jr. crashed several blocks later and then tried to flee on foot. He was apprehended and handcuffed, at which point police say he told officers he was asthmatic and having difficulty breathing. Officers say they gave him assistance with an inhaler in one of his pockets, and he said he was fine after that. But he then collapsed, according to police.   Continue reading “Queens Man Dies In Police Custody, Father Alleges Police Brutality”

WATERTOWN (AP) — The 26th and final playground built in memory of the Newtown school shooting victims has opened in Connecticut.

Hochsprung was the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School, where she, 20 first graders and five other educators were shot to death in December 2012.   Continue reading “Final Playground In Honor Of Sandy Hook Victims Opens”

I was just thinking about how there seems to be an increase of nationwide recalls of processed foods contaminated with Listeria, and how there is now also an increase in people hypervigilant about “Ebola-like symptoms,” and so maybe just something to keep in mind.  It would not be difficult to mistake one for another, in a panic.  Also it is interesting to me that this particular recall (chosen at random) is for processed foods used by institutions and airlines, among others.  I think it would be a good idea for people to really think about where their food and drink comes from, before putting it in their mouth.  Safest of all is to make it yourself.   Continue reading “Listeria can cause “Ebola like” symptoms”

For Truth’s Sake – by David R.

Liberals tend to go on and on about how America is an evil racist place and that the Constitution represents a culture of intolerance and violence. They try to position themselves as being the “compassionate ones” who are ready and willing to go to any length to fix societies wrongs, which of course are the fault of the Constitution and our selfish bill of rights. Often times however, their efforts are driven by nothing more than a fear of what they do not understand, a fear of them self and a misguided belief that the “ends justifies the means.” Most liberals after all, base their tactics for social change off the play book of the left- Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals. On page 25, in a chapter entitled “Of Means and Ends” Alinsky writes the following-   Continue reading “Alinsky Morality and Gun Control”

Does the federal government have any systems at all to back its email archives? Maybe not, because the Environmental Protection Agency is now using the same excuse as the IRS is using in response to a Congressional subpoena: the computer ate our homework.

In a hearing Wednesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said the agency was still trying to recover the emails from a now-retired employee who was involved in a controversial EPA evaluation of a proposed mine project in Alaska‘s Bristol Bay.   Continue reading “Now EPA says it can’t find emails requested by Congress because of hard drive crash”

At least five children infected with the respiratory illness known enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) have died in the U.S. in the past month.

The lastest confirmed victim was a four-year-old New Jersey boy, Eli Waller. He died at home on September 25. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirmed the cause of death Friday night. But health officials say they have no idea how he contracted the virus. A health official says Eli was “asymptomatic and fine” when he went to bed but died overnight. He had no known preexisting immune weakness.   Continue reading “Polio-like illness claims fifth life in U.S.”

End of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder

In terms of purchasing power, China now has the largest economy on the entire planet, but that is not the only area where China has surpassed the United States.  China also accounts for more total global trade than the U.S. does, China consumes more energy than the U.S. does, and China now manufactures more goods than the U.S. does.  In other words, the era of American economic dominance is rapidly ending.  Global economic power is making a dramatic shift to the east, and that is going to have huge implications for our future.  We already owe the Chinese well over a trillion dollars, and as our economic infrastructure crumbles we are feverishly borrowing even more money in a desperate attempt to prop up our falling standard of living.  If we continue down this path, what will the future look like for future generations of Americans?   Continue reading “Not Just The Largest Economy – Here Are 26 Other Ways China Has Surpassed America”

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A state appeals court will decide in coming weeks whether chimpanzees are entitled to “legal personhood” in a case that could lead to expanded rights for animals such as gorillas, elephants and dolphins, according to the lawyer advocating for a 26-year-old chimp named Tommy.

Attorney Steven Wise argued before a five-member mid-level appeals court Wednesday on behalf of Tommy, who lives alone in a cage in upstate Fulton County. A trial-level judge has refused a request by Wise and his Nonhuman Rights Project to have Tommy released to join other chimps at a Florida sanctuary that mimics their natural habitat.    Continue reading “NY court hears arguments that chimps have rights”
