Maybe if schools stop handing misbehaving students over to police officers, aggrieved parents won’t be nearly as aggrieved… or so likely to sue. Schools are publicly funded already, but that’s no reason to keep dipping into homeowners’ wallets to pay out settlements for schools’ bad decisions.

The very short background on this particular lawsuit is this (via Courtroom News Service):    Continue reading “Father Sues School After It Brings In Cops To Question His Son About Drawing Of A Person Being Hanged”

HOUSTON, Texas–Armed members of the activist group Open Carry Texas (OCT) were asked to leave Sonic and Chili’s restaurants last month after they entered with AK-47’s in full display. In response to footage of the events, which received national press coverage, the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) released a statement on May 30 calling the demonstrations “downright weird” and “counter productive for the gun owning community.” Now Texas gun group members are threatening to leave the NRA.

“I’m leaving the NRA,” C.J. Grisham, President of OCT, told Breitbart Texas. “I’m an Endowment Life Member which is two levels above Life Member–I’m tearing up the cards and certificates I’ve gotten from the NRA.”   Continue reading “Open Carry Texas’ President: ‘I’m Leaving The NRA’”

On May 30 the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) released a statement on the open carry demonstrations that have been recently carried out in Chipotle, Jack in the Box, Chili’s, and Sonic restaurants in Texas.

These are the demonstrations where members of Open Carry Texas (OCT) legally carry AR-15s and AK-47s into restaurants as part of their bid to see the open carry of handguns legalized in the Lone Star State. The NRA-ILA described the demonstrations as “downright weird” and “counter productive for the gun owning community.”    Continue reading “NRA Chides ‘Open Carry Texas’ Over Carrying Ak-47s Into Restaurants”

In the eyes of some professors and scientists, genetically modified foods can be an open door toward transhumanism — believing that mankind can break through current physical limitations by genetically altering food, offspring and the environment.

Could this really be an ulterior motive in the minds of professors who advocate genetically modified organisms?   

How might GMO-influenced transhumanism destroy what is natural and eclectic, as manipulations of life and environment restrict the diversity of agriculture and people, eliminating the “flaws” of nature, while discarding the “unfit.”

One of the evident patterns that emerges concerning the theater of operations known as “media” is the never-ending rabbit hole of trails and endless, conflicting details that don’t and won’t add up concerning a figure like Edward Snowden.  The application of the military term “theater of operations” is especially relevant here, since we swim in a sea of media theater and infotainment.  This is not by accident: The theater of infotainment itself is an important pillar of the Infowar.  With Edward Snowden, the recent star of the world media acting stage, the trails and legend(s) surrounding his back story are purposefully misleading.   Continue reading “The Theater of Media Operations: Snowden Analyzed”

As the housing market slowly recovers, a majority of homeowners and renters are finding it hard to meet rising rents and mortgage payments, new research finds.

Over half of Americans (52%) have had to make at least one major sacrifice in order to cover their rent or mortgage over the last three years, according to the “How Housing Matters Survey,” which was commissioned by the nonprofit John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and carried out by Hart Research Associates. These sacrifices include getting a second job, deferring saving for retirement, cutting back on health care, running up credit card debt, or even moving to a less safe neighborhood or one with worse schools.   Continue reading “Half of Americans can’t afford their house”

The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr. Delos “Toby” Cosgrove, who heads the Cleveland Clinic, is being heavily sought by the Obama administration to replace Gen. Eric Shinseki, who was forced out last week amid the VA wait list scandal.   Continue reading “Front-Runner To Head VA Predicts Obamacare Will Lead To Single-Payer”
