Some pension plans have overpaid retirees for years — now they’re demanding their money back.
For retirees, it can mean owing tens of thousands of dollars. And with little warning, their pension checks are being slashed to cover their debt. Continue reading “Pensions Ask Retirees to Pay Back Tens of Thousands”
Pirates attacked an oil supply vessel off the Nigerian coast and kidnapped the captain and chief engineer, both U.S. citizens, an American defense official and security sources said on Thursday.
Pirate attacks off Nigeria’s coast have jumped by a third this year as ships passing through West Africa’s Gulf of Guinea, a major commodities route, have come under threat from gangs wanting to snatch cargoes and crews. Continue reading “Pirates kidnap two U.S. sailors off Nigerian coast -sources”
Earlier this week we learned of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s $1.1 million anti-gun advertisement buy for Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Terry McAuiliffe. Bloomberg funneled the money into Virginia through his PAC, USA Independence and advertisements have been running on radio and television since Tuesday. One television ad in particular targets the “gun show loophole” and states in a voiceover, “The gun show loophole. It means anyone can buy a gun without a background check.” The ad shows photos of mass murders Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech), Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook), Aaron Alexis (Navy Yard) and James Holmes (Aurora Colorado theater) while implying these killers purchased their guns through this so-called “loophole.” Continue reading “Guess Who’s Lying About the ‘Gun Show Loophole’ in Virginia?”
Oh, the hilarity that is the phrase “criminal justice system.” Talk to any defense attorney and they’ll tell you how the deck is stacked against defendants and defense lawyers. The ideal of “innocent until proven guilty” has become little more than a disclaimer tacked onto cop-centered reality shows. Defendants are guilty until the jury is somehow tricked by the defense into handing down a “not guilty” verdict. A lot of effort goes towards dissuading defendants from even making it this far, as prosecutors will present worst-case scenarios comprised of every violation conceivable in order to get an agreement to plead guilty to a lesser charge.

I’ve had a few inquiries about gear requirements for the Patrol Class. It seems like a good opportunity to allay some fears. Here is the LINK to my original post about the Patrol Class.
I will be sending out a detailed info packet to attendees closer to the time, as I do currently with the CRCD class. There is a basic list on the Class Schedule post HERE. Given that you have to have attended CRCD to attend Patrol you will know what I am talking about. Continue reading “Patrol Class Gear Questions”

I’m going to use a couple of passages from the Bible (the original set of moral standards for our Western civilization), followed by an examination of both Bitcoin and cartel money, to see how they hold up in comparison.
As for my use of the term “cartel money,” it’s the best short description I know for the dollars, euros, yen (and so on) that we use in our daily commerce. They are produced by secretive and monopolistic groups of private banks. That rather precisely matches the definition of cartel. Continue reading “Is Bitcoin More Dangerous than “Cartel Money”?”

RUSH: For those of us who take as long as we can to pay our taxes, October 15th was the extension filing date for 2012, and I dutifully was in there. My accountant, who is almost afraid to be my accountant because he thinks he’s gonna get targeted, too, just ’cause his name’s on my return, he said, “Look, you may not know this, but you keep talking about these Obamacare fines if you don’t buy a policy. Do you know that under the law –” and I had to go look it up. Not that I didn’t believe him, but he just never gets political with me. He stays over there. (interruption) No, no. He’s not lib. It’s a professional relationship. Continue reading “Opt-Out Obamacare Penalty Can’t Be Enforced — Unless You Get a Tax Refund”

A change to the Marine Corps’ uniform hats could take the hard-nosed Leathernecks from the Halls of Montezuma to the shops of Christopher Street.
Thanks to a plan by President Obama to create a “unisex” look for the Corps, officials are on the verge of swapping out the Marines’ iconic caps – known as “covers” — with a new version that some have derided as so “girly” that they would make the French blush. Continue reading “Obama wants Marines to wear ‘girly’ hats”

Speaking at the University of Buffalo, to an adoring audience, Hillary Clinton was interrupted by a man yelling “Benghazi!! You Let Them Die,” before he was escorted out and Hillary’s response and suggestion is ironic considering her out outburst to Congress over the same issue.

Beginning this week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is evaluating state and local emergency planning and preparedness agencies’ abilities to respond to an emergency at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Lusby.
“These drills are held every other year to test government’s ability to protect public health and safety,” MaryAnn Tierney, regional administrator for FEMA Region III, said in a FEMA news release. “We will evaluate state and local emergency response capabilities within the 10-mile emergency-planning zone of the nuclear facility.” Continue reading “FEMA evaluating county response to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant emergency”

NASA has just set a new record for communication speeds in space by firing lasers at the moon and achieving download speeds five times faster than via the radio signals we currently employ for the task.
The information beamed by lasers on Earth was sent to a probe named Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), launched last month with the aim of measuring the Moon’s hardly evident atmosphere while orbiting it. Aboard that probe are a series of lasers mounted onto the outer hull. Continue reading “NASA hails new era of laser-fast interplanetary internet”
