Massachusetts State Police have been searching the area near Rte. 140 in Mansfield near the Foxboro line, for a suspect who fired a gunshot, possibly from a muzzleloader rifle, at an MSP cruiser overnight.

The cruiser was being operated on Rte. 140 around 2:20 a.m. when the trooper reported a shot fired at him. A subsequent search of the area off the highway led to the discovery of a black powder rifle. Muzzleloader — or black powder — guns are often sold for hunting.   Continue reading “State Police Cruiser Shot at Overnight”

The House of Representatives was set to vote Thursday on a hotly debated measure that would block mandatory labeling of foods made with genetically engineered crops, including pre-empting a state law set to take effect next year in Vermont.

Dubbed the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act by supporters, but the “Deny Americans the Right to Know” or DARK Act, by opponents, the measure appeared likely to pass the House, according to lawmakers and lobbyists. It sailed through the House Agriculture Committee last week.   Continue reading “House set to vote on anti-GMO labeling law”

The large transportation funding bill moving through the Senate would end Social Security benefits for 200,000 people who have an outstanding felony arrest warrant—but have never been convicted by a court, or have a warrant for violating probation or parole, according to disability rights advocates tracking the legislation.

The proposal, which surfaced late Tuesday, is at odds with recent Republican statements on the need to take up meaningful criminal justice reforms such as less harsh sentencing. It also sets a precedent of raiding Social Security funds for unrelated purposes, in this case transferring $2.3 billion for a range of transportation expenses.   Continue reading “Senate Bill May Kick 200,000 Off Social Security If They Have Arrest Warrant”

Leprosy spread by illegal aliens in the US. I don’t think it is spread so much by the four legged animals.

If you travel into the Third World such as Mexico, Central and South America, you will notice that while visiting a bathroom there is a box for used toilet paper in the corner and no soap or paper towels at the lavatory. The sewage systems cannot handle toilet paper so it is a habit to throw it in the box provided which is open to flies and cockroaches. Additionally, for most Third World people, washing hands is non existent. Today, in California, Florida, Georgia and spreading to other states across the nation, recent arrivals are so accustomed to throwing their used toilet paper into boxes, they throw it into trash cans. Whether they work at the counter or chopping tomatoes, they often do not wash their hands. Thousands carry head lice, leprosy, tuberculosis and hepatitis A, B, and C.   Continue reading “Illegal Aliens Spreading Diseases Across USA”
