Last night, a close friend and I watched a video titled “Mass Incarceration in the U.S.”
The figures were nothing less than shocking.
“America has about 4% of the world’s people,” Hank Green, the creator of the video began, “and about 25% of the world’s incarcerated people. Continue reading “The Secret Slave Labor Ring Coming to Your Neighborhood”

With this ruling, the First Amendment and the Fourth Amendment mean very little anymore. Of course, the PATRIOT Act has long come under criticism for violating the Fourth Amendment in countless ways, and multiple criticisms have been leveled at the secret courts, surveillance powers, and investigatory powers—not to mention drone programs and the secret “kill list” erected upon them. True patriots and lovers of freedom everywhere know that once constitutional freedoms are compromised, it is only a matter of time before they are further eroded and eventually eradicated. Now that maxim is manifested in legal precedent. Continue reading “Judge: PATRIOT Act trumps First Amendment protected speech of innocent citizens”

Hollywood calls it jumping the shark, it’s that moment when all has been done and peak has been obtained. The point when the beginning of the end has just begun. The journey of the word “conspiracies” and the phrase “conspiracy theory” has reached its glory days. The trigger word worked for a while. For long we were led to believe that if someone was accused of being a conspiracy theorist they were automatically wrong and automatically a lunatic.
Not proven wrong or proven a lunatic, but simply wrong and lunatic. Remember those days? Continue reading “Has the “Conspiracy” Trigger Word Finally Run Its Course?”

The Massachusetts Nurses Association sued Brigham and Women’s Hospital this week, seeking to block a policy not yet in effect that would require nurses to get flu shots if they want to keep working there.
The action in Suffolk Superior Court comes as state public health officials are leaning on hospitals to improve the influenza vaccination rate among health care workers, which varied in hospitals from 62 percent to 99 percent during the most recent flu season.

Law enforcement plays no role in stopping the majority of “active shootings” in America, a new federal report shows.
Active shootings are defined as “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says that 60% of the time, active shootings end before officers arrive on the scene. In 23% of the incidents studied, the shooter committed suicide before police responded and in 13% of the incidents, unarmed bystanders subdued the shooter. Return fire accounted for few of the resolutions; 3% ended with armed civilians returning fire and in 1% of the cases, armed off-duty law enforcement personnel killed the shooters.

It’s common for a delivery man not to be able to drop off a package – usually because no one is home. But in the wild world of Vancouver, Canada packages go undelivered for much more exotic reasons. Like bears.
A Canada Post delivery man left a note on a man’s property with a very reasonable explanation for why his package wasn’t at his door. Continue reading “This Is A Perfectly Good Reason For Not Delivering A Package”

In response to a challenge posed by his Republican opponent for the governorship in November, California Governor Jerry Brown said:
A lot of people forget the mess that California was in just four years ago. There were 1 million jobs that had been lost. Our budget deficit was astronomical: 27 billion. We hadn’t had a budget on time in probably 10 years. Continue reading “California Governor Being Challenged by Republican Upstart in November”

WASHINGTON (AP) — For nearly three months this summer, the Obama administration carefully avoided answering questions about what happened to tens of thousands of immigrant families caught illegally crossing the Mexican border and released into the United States with instructions to report back to immigration authorities.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and others said they faced deportation. But it turns out that tens of thousands of those immigrants did not follow the government’s instructions to meet with federal immigration agents within 15 days. Instead, they have vanished into the interior of the U.S. Continue reading “US: Most new immigrant families fail to report”
