Over a month old, but Mark Schumacher, who is a trucker, says that the port is still shut down.

OAKLAND — A group of truck drivers halted commerce at one of the Port of Oakland’s biggest terminals Monday to protest work conditions and the rising costs of hauling cargo out of the busy seaport.

Truckers and their supporters picketed outside three entrances to the SSA Marine terminal and effectively shut down cargo traffic because crane operators and other terminal workers refused to cross the protest line. About 100 ralliers gathered before dawn. By 9 a.m., the company that runs the terminal informed the port that it was closing down.   Continue reading “Oakland port truckers shut down terminal to protest work conditions, rising costs”

At a hearing for Gibbon dairy farmer Mike Hartmann, Sibley County District Court Judge Erica H. McDonald dismissed five of six criminal charges brought by the state against Hartmann for violations of the Minnesota food and dairy code. Two of the charges arose from evidence seized during a December 4, 2012 stop of Hartmann’s vehicle by a state trooper; the other three came from the execution of a search warrant by Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) officials on January 9, 2013 at Hartmann’s farm.

The key to the dismissal of the charges was Judge McDonald granting a motion to suppress any evidence obtained during the vehicle stop by state trooper Joseph Heyman who testified that he initially stopped Hartmann’s truck because he did not see a rear license plate on the truck and the truck appeared to the state trooper to be a commercial motor vehicle that did not have the required Department of Transportation markings or number.   Continue reading “Judge Dismisses Criminal Charges Against Hartmann in Minnesota”

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is an architect of Obamacare — and the brother of former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel — whose recent apologetics on behalf of the law he helped design have grown increasingly desperate. On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace quizzed him about the accuracy of one of President Obama’s most prominenthealthcare vows: “If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.” Is that actually true? Emanuel wasn’t fond of the question, ultimately conceding that Obamacare’s doctor networks will be limited. But that doesn’t mean consumers can’t keep their preferred doctors — if they’re prepared to shell out, that is (via the Weekly Standard):   Continue reading “Obamacare Designer: You Can Probably Keep Your Doctor…If You’re Willing to Pay A Lot More”

“Let’s say somebody were [in the White House] and they wanted to destroy this nation. I would create division among the people, encourage a culture of ridicule for basic morality and the principles that made and sustained the country, undermine the financial stability of the nation, and weaken and destroy the military. It appears coincidentally that those are the very things that are happening right now.”

In mid November of 1980, I told all my close friends John Lennon was about to be assassinated. I said the powers that be were going to blame a lone deranged crazy fan, and that this person would never have a trial. I don’t know how I knew all of this.

I was driving my taxi in Manhattan on that beautifully warm evening of December 8, 1980. I was listening to Vin Scelsa on WNEW 102.7 FM, when just before 11 pm he announced that John Lennon had been shot, and then a few minutes later, crying,  he announced the death of John Lennon.   Continue reading “John Lennon Was Assassinated 33 Years Ago Today”

Approximately a year ago we were informed of a so-called mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut where several children and teachers were shot dead.  Allegedly the shooting was carried out solely by a deranged young man by the name of Adam Lanza.  It was said that he first shot and killed his mother and then drove to the school where he carried out the killings before committing suicide.  Many independent researchers have questioned the official narrative and with good reason because there are several problems with the official story.  Continue reading “Sandy Hook 911 Call Recording Raise Even More Questions About Official Story of Alleged Mass Shooting”
