Two-thirds of Americans cannot name a single Supreme Court justice, former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor told the crowd that packed into a Boise State ballroom to hear her Thursday.
About one-third can name the three branches of government. Fewer than one-fifth of high school seniors can explain how citizen participation benefits democracy. Continue reading “Retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, in Boise, laments ‘alarming degree of public ignorance’”

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun an initiative to discover the viability of sequencing American infant’s DNA through the “heel stick” blood drawn screening conducted on newborns in hospitals to determine the propensity toward life-threatening diseases.
This scheme will cost $25 million over 5 years to understand each individual genetic code in lieu of having DNA routinely mapped and stored in a medical record. Continue reading “Gov Wants to Sequence DNA of All Infants Born in US”
Going Commie, indoctrination begins at an early age, the earlier the better; to convince mature adults takes facts, but to influence a young malleable mind is relatively easy. Children that have not been exposed to the world can be corrupted with little or no effort. A paradigm model utilized by Mao was convincing enough to allure millions upon millions to the cause – the tool for indoctrination was Mao’s Little Red book of quotations; an inspirational political and military document.

OBERLIN, Ohio — Oberlin, a bastion of liberalism, is bracing itself to deal with a state gun law that many residents and officials oppose.
City Council is reluctantly mulling a change to its law that prevents firearms in city parks, as it conflicts with an Ohio statute that permits guns in most public places, including parks. If City Council does not rescind the measure, gun owners can take the city to court. Cleveland lost a similar fight over a guns-rights issue in 2010. Continue reading “Oberlin’s law on firearms in parks makes city a target for gun litigation”

The National Security Agency is winning its long-running secret war on encryption, using supercomputers, technical trickery, court orders and behind-the-scenes persuasion to undermine the major tools protecting the privacy of everyday communications in the Internet age, according to newly disclosed documents.
The agency has circumvented or cracked much of the encryption, or digital scrambling, that guards global commerce and banking systems, protects sensitive data like trade secrets and medical records, and automatically secures the e-mails, Web searches, Internet chats and phone calls of Americans and others around the world, the documents show.

Even as Congress considers President Obama’s push for military strikes on Syria, the details of that plan continue to change by the day — with one source telling Fox News that military officials have been asked to revise their plans 50 times since the Pentagon first began considering a “limited” action.
Still to be resolved is what method of attack the U.S. would use. While missile-equipped ships are at the ready in the Mediterranean Sea, a senior defense official told Fox News that the possibility of launching military aircraft strikes was one of the range of options presented to Obama. Continue reading “US military has revised Syria strike plan 50 times, source says”

Amid the explosions, smoke, roaring vehicles and chattering gunfire of a terrorist attack Thursday afternoon at Port Everglades, one fact became chillingly clear:
These weren’t foreign-born America-hating terrorists. These were native-born America-hating terrorists. And they were making things difficult for the good guys. Continue reading “Florida Police State Exercise: ‘Sovereign citizens’ assault Port Everglades”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has a strange way of speaking straightforwardly, without all the artificial and “morally superior” airs one expects from Western politicians.
Earlier, for example, he wondered why Western leaders were supporting cannibals in Syria:
You will not deny that one does not really need to support the people who not only kill their enemies, but open up their bodies, eat their intestines in front of the public and cameras. Are these the people you want to support? Is it them who you want to supply with weapons? Then this probably has little relation to humanitarian values that have been preached in Europe for hundreds of years.

DEXTER, Mo. — A Missouri man who told authorities he had sexual contact with as many 300 people since being diagnosed with HIV pleaded not guilty on Thursday to infecting another man with the virus, and prosecutors said more charges are expected.
David Mangum entered the plea after being charged with recklessly infecting another with HIV, which in Missouri — where penalties for such crimes are among the nation’s harshest — carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. His attorney didn’t return messages seeking comment. Continue reading “Missouri man charged with spreading HIV claims 300 partners”
