COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A defense lawyer for one of two men suspected of assisting the gunman behind two shooting attacks in Copenhagen says both have been jailed for 10 days.

Anders Rohde says that prosecutors had asked a judge to place them in four weeks of solitary confinement and that the relatively short period of detention suggests the case against the men is “thin.” Rohde was speaking to reporters after a four-hour custody hearing held behind closed doors. His colleague earlier said the men denied accusations that they helped the gunman evade authorities and get rid of a weapon.   Continue reading “2 suspected accomplices of Denmark gunman jailed for 10 days”

CORBIN, Ky. (AP) — Friends and relatives of a 16-year-old boy killed in a shootout with police in Maryland struggled to understand how the faithful churchgoer and high school ROTC student could end up as the suspect in the slaying of his parents and younger sister in Kentucky.

Jason Hendrix was suspected of killing his family execution-style last week before fleeing his small Southern town to the East Coast, authorities said Sunday. Saturday’s shootout led police to search the teen’s home more than 500 miles away in Corbin, Kentucky. There, authorities found the bodies of Kevin and Sarah Hendrix and their daughter, Grace, about age 12, Corbin Police Chief David Campbell said.   Continue reading “Struggle to understand family slaying in small Kentucky town”

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — If his Facebook page is any indication, Craig Hicks doesn’t hate Muslims. An avowed atheist, his online posts instead depict a man who despises religion itself, but nevertheless seems to support an individual’s right to his own beliefs.

“I hate Islam just as much as christianity, but they have the right to worship in this country just as much as any others do,” the man now accused of killing three Muslim college students stated in one 2012 post over the proposed construction of a mosque near the World Trade Center site in New York.   Continue reading “Shooting suspect slams religion while defending liberty”

No matter what side of the political fence you’re on, THIS is funny and very telling! It just all depends on how you look at the same things.

She discovered that ex-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s great-great uncle,

Remus Rudd, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Melbourne in 1889. Both Judy and Kevin Rudd share this common ancestor.   Continue reading “Political Spin – The way it’s done correctly – this time in Australia …”

BOCA RATON, Florida (MEDIA GENERAL) – A criminal defense attorney is gaining national attention after his message about DUI checkpoints went viral.

Warren Redlich is a criminal defense attorney based in Boca Raton, Florida. In 2013, he published a book called “Fair DUI” and launched a web site of the same name (fairdui.org).

Redlich’s message is that when drivers approach a DUI checkpoint, they are not required to roll down their windows and talk to police. He says by doing so, drivers open themselves up to problems.   Continue reading “Lawyer’s signs raise questions about DUI checkpoints”

The U.S. drilling frenzy is over. What’s not is the boom in oil production.

While companies have idled 151 rigs in five shale formations since reaching a peak of 1,157 in October, they’ll need to park another 200 for growth to stall, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Output there will reach a record 5.47 million barrels a day in March even though the number of rigs exploring for oil is the lowest since 2013.   Continue reading “U.S. Rigs Are Being Idled, but the Oil Boom Is Not Ending”

FAYSTON, Vt. (AP) – With New England buried in snow, ski resorts are expecting skiers and riders to flock to the mountains of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine for rare powder as the region heads into the mid-winter school break, a prime period resorts rely on.

This winter provided early snow, and dumped plenty of it in January and February with temperatures cold enough to keep it on the ground, to the dismay of some weather-weary residents.

Some of us were there during the struggle to stop the war in another era. How quickly our fellow neighbors forget what the struggle over Viet Nam was all about. For those born after that period of national discontent, the lessons of that conflict seem to escape them. By now it should be clear for even the most staunch supporter of that debacle and tragic chapter of our history, that the only victory of that combat was the continual march to globalize the world community. The canard that the struggle against Communism was wholly a battle between good and evil has been exposed as a false choice. The last remnants of the righteous; namely the American experiment, that once gleamed hope for mankind, dissolved an entire century before that campaign in South East Asia.   Continue reading “Globalism’s War for Domination”
