A startup will help you fight parking tickets with the swipe of a finger. Fixed, an app created by a man who was tired of having to pay “bogus” fines, will allow you to upload a picture of your ticket along with any evidence to fight it and will let you know its chances of getting dismissed. Then, and here’s the best part, it will contest the fine for you. It’s available only in the beta stages in San Francisco for now, but it may be coming soon to a phone near you.

Eric Holder’s idea of implementing justice is to shake down banks on trumped up charges based on vague statistics and leftist theories. Holder’s Department of Justice recently leveled a $100 million fine against Ally Bank for “racist” lending practices without a shred of evidence. And Ally’s not the only victim of Obama/Holder Inc.’s protection racket. Apparently, the post-racial presidency of Barack Obama has decided to extort almost a billion dollars from capitalist institutions under the unjustified pretense of ‘race-based’ predatory lending.

like a blanket the tyranny covers us all
and builds walls to keep us apart
as we eagerly wait for the tyrant to fall
we long for the nation’s new start
And as policemen cause our children to die
congressmen use them for sex
and as the population is living a lie
they cannot fathom what’s next
the elections are rigged and the courts are a crime
jail is for financial gain
the candidates we’re given are grown from slime
and only increase our pain Continue reading “Tyranny’s Fall”
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Gunmen killed an Iranian diplomat in a drive-by shooting in Yemen’s capital Saturday, security and medical officials said, the latest attack on Iran’s diplomatic corps in the Middle East in recent months.
Iranian state television announced that Ali Asghar Asadi, Iran’s economic attaché in Sanaa, was “martyred.” The broadcast said Asadi was attacked while driving and suffered four gunshot wounds to the chest and stomach. It did not elaborate. Continue reading “Officials: Iranian diplomat killed in Yemen”
Two of the largest retailers in America are steamrolling toward bankruptcy. Sears and J.C. Penney are both losing hundreds of millions of dollars each quarter, and both of them appear to be caught in the grip of a death spiral from which it will be impossible to escape. Once upon a time, Sears was actually the largest retailer in the United States, and even today Sears and J.C. Penney are “anchor stores” in malls all over the country. When I was growing up, my mother would take me to the mall when it was time to go clothes shopping, and there were usually just two options: Sears or J.C. Penney. When I got older, I actually worked for Sears for a little while. At the time, nobody would have ever imagined that Sears or J.C. Penney could go out of business someday. But that is precisely what is happening. They are both shutting down unprofitable stores and laying off employees in a desperate attempt to avoid bankruptcy, but everyone knows that they are just delaying the inevitable. These two great retail giants are dying, and they certainly won’t be the last to fall. This is just the beginning. Continue reading “What Recovery? Sears And J.C. Penney Are DYING”
The thing about the Internet of Things, which describes the near future in which all our devices and appliances are connected to the Internet — and one another — is that suddenly they’re vulnerable to the dark side of constant connectivity, too. Cybersecurity folks point out it “opens a Pandora’s Box of security and privacy risks that cannot be ignored,” writes Christophe Fabre, CEO of software services vendor Axway.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide whether police can search an arrested criminal suspect’s cell phone without a warrant in two cases that showcase how the courts are wrestling to keep up with rapid technological advances.
Taking up cases from California and Massachusetts arising from criminal prosecutions that used evidence obtained without a warrant, the high court will wade into how to apply older court precedent, which allows police to search items carried by a defendant at the time of arrest, to cell phones.
