ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —A 4-year-old girl was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon during a road rage incident on Interstate 40, and police have no idea who the killer is.

“This is a complete disrespect of human life. This is something that should not be happening in Albuquerque, New Mexico,” APD Chief Gorden Eden said.

Investigators said the girl was riding westbound with her family on I-40 around 3 p.m. For some reason, another car pulled up alongside theirs and someone started shooting. One of the bullets hit the little girl in the head.   Continue reading “4-year-old killed in road rage shooting”

MARION, Ala. — Judge Marvin Wiggins’s courtroom was packed on a September morning. The docket listed hundreds of offenders who owed fines or fees for a wide variety of crimes — hunting after dark, assault, drug possession and passing bad checks among them.

“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,” began Judge Wiggins, a circuit judge here in rural Alabama since 1999. “For your consideration, there’s a blood drive outside,” he continued, according to a recording of the hearing. “If you don’t have any money, go out there and give blood and bring in a receipt indicating you gave blood.”   Continue reading “For Offenders Who Can’t Pay, It’s a Pint of Blood or Jail Time”

Breitbart News has unearthed another overlooked 2013 video that documents Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL)’s aggressive stumping for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)’s amnesty and immigration-expansion plan.

In a speech at the Erie House in Chicago, Ryan and Gutierrez provided more details about how they aimed to institute a formal open borders policy for the United States—that is, a federal policy of allowing any employer to legally hire any worker regardless of where they live.   Continue reading “Second Video Revealed– Paul Ryan With Luis Gutierrez: America ‘Is More Than Our Borders’”

Over the past several months, we’ve warned repeatedly that Europe’s escalating migrant crisis threatens to set off a dangerous bout of scapegoating xenophobia.

Germany’s open door policy to asylum seekers has effectively been forced on other countries by decree, a move which could very well engender intense and possibly dangerous feelings of nationalism among citizens who disagree with Berlin’s approach to the crisis. We’ve already seen Hungary resort to razor wire fences, water cannons, and tear gas to keep migrants out and Budapest’s move to close its border with Croatia and Serbia has set off a Balkan border battle wherein no one can quite figure out the most efficient way to get the refugees to Germany without allowing their countries to be used as migrant superhighways.    Continue reading “Furious Germans Stage Massive Anti-Islam Protest: “The Concentration Camps Are Unfortunately Out Of Action””

St Louis police have confirmed that six fires at churches in predominately black neighborhoods near Ferguson occurring over just 10 days have been classified as arson. There have been no injuries and officials don’t yet have a suspect.

“It is arson,” St. Louis Fire Captain Garon Mosby told media outlets, according to the Associated Press. “These [fires] are being intentionally set.”

Mosby said the possibility of a hate crime for religious or racial reasons “is part of the dynamic” in an ongoing joint investigation currently being conducted by the St. Louis Regional Bomb Unit and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The ATF has jurisdiction over fires at all houses of worship. Continue reading “‘It is arson:’ 6 churches set on fire near Ferguson in 10 days”

You know things are pretty far gone when one of the most notorious warmongerers is the voice of restraint in Syria.
