Judge Roy L. RichterThe Newspaper

A US Department of Justice report released earlier this month called into question the predatory tactics of traffic police and municipal court in Ferguson, Missouri. The high court decided on Monday to clear the bench and put Court of Appeals Judge Roy L. Richter in charge of all the city’s cases in the St. Louis County municipal court.

“Judge Richter will bring a fresh, disinterested perspective to this court’s practices and he is able and willing to implement needed reforms,” Chief Justice Mary R. Russell said in a statement. “Extraordinary action is warranted in Ferguson, but the court also is examining reforms that are needed on a statewide basis.”   Continue reading “Missouri Supreme Court Stops Ferguson Motorist Shakedown”

Born with a partially developed right arm, seven-year-old Alex knew he’d be getting a robotic helper soon. What he didn’t know was that it would be fit for a superhero and presented by none other than Tony Stark himself.

Albert Manero, an engineer at the University of Central Florida who creates 3D-printed bionic arms for children, teamed up with Microsoft and ‘Iron Man’ actor Robert Downey Jr. to make the presentation of Alex’s new arm very special.    Continue reading “Real-life superhero: ‘Iron Man’ presents kid with new bionic arm”

The laundry list of problems affecting the Pentagon’s F-35 fighter jet reportedly includes a high rate of false alarms from its large array of sensors. The expensive defense project is being criticized for producing an unreliable and unaffordable weapon.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has a number of sensitive sensors, and engineers have a hard time teaching its software to interpret the data they provide. The information must be checked against so-called threat libraries, and files of signatures of known threats.   Continue reading “F-35 sensors plagued by false alarms – reports”

NEW YORK (AP) — A man accused of faking an ownership stake in Facebook to justify a multibillion-dollar lawsuit against its founder Mark Zuckerberg has vanished.

Paul Ceglia, who was under house arrest pending his May 4 trial, jumped bail by slicing off an electronic monitoring device and creating a crude contraption to make it seem as though he was moving around inside his home, authorities said.   Continue reading “Facebook fraud suspect on the lam; family, dog also missing”

Benito Vasquez-Hernandez has orange canvas slip-ons, a single spoon, a wristband he wears at all times. He has little else.

He lives in a small cell with a single window high above his head and sleeps on a skinny mattress resting on a cinderblock frame.

Vasquez-Hernandez is treated like any other inmate in the Washington County Jail. But he’s unlike every other inmate there.   Continue reading “Oregon man commits no crime, but held in jail for 900 days”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal agents in a sweep targeting the most dangerous criminal immigrants arrested 15 people who have been allowed to remain in the U.S. under President Barack Obama’s executive action intended to protect children who came to the U.S. years ago with their parents, The Associated Press has learned.

Fourteen of the 15 had been convicted of a crime, the Homeland Security Department confirmed late Thursday. In at least one case, the Obama administration renewed the protective status for a young immigrant after that person’s conviction in a drug case, a U.S. official briefed on the arrests said.   Continue reading “15 immigrants protected from deportation arrested in sweep”

Straight-A College Student Kicked out Because He Was HomeschooledTruthstream Media – by Melissa Melton

With all this talk about mandatory vaccination legislation, a lot more parents are discussing homeschool as an option (while that option is even still available). Aside from that, more and more parents are asking how much propaganda do we really want to expose our children to on their path to adulthood, anyway? Add Common Core to make matters that much more ridiculous and more people are choosing homeschool as the best option for their child’s mind.

That being said, the story I’m about to discuss out of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) shows the enormity of what homeschooling parents truly are up against in this country.   Continue reading “Straight-A College Student Kicked out Because He Was Homeschooled”

Russia’s ‘Breakthrough’ energy project enables closed a nuclear fuel cycle and a future without radioactive waste. The first batch of MOX nuclear fuel has been manufactured for the world’s only NPP industrially power generating breeder reactors.

The first ten kilograms of the mixed-oxide fuel (MOX) – a mixture of plutonium and uranium dioxides (UO2 and PuO2), have been industrially produced by Russia’s nuclear monopoly, Rosatom, at the Mining & Chemical Combine (GKhK) in the Krasnoyarsk region.   Continue reading “No nuclear waste: Fuel of future produced at Russia’s high-tech underground plant”

One thing that suffering through six years of the Hussein Obama nightmare has taught us is that when he starts harping on a topic, particularly a right he wants to take away or a restriction he wants to impose, the amount of time between oration and aggression is generally quite short. Our dictator has a lot of fundamental transformation to implement and only two short years left to get it done. He can’t afford to waste time.

On Friday, March 6th, Hussein Obama made a speech at Benedict College in South Carolina in which he adopted his familiar “but” approach to the issue of the Second Amendment. The “but approach” has nothing to do with Reggie Love. It’s where Obama proclaims the benefits or importance of something and then immediately follows it up with, “but,” and his “justification or reasons upon which he will attempt to fundamentally change it.   Continue reading “Start Clinging – Gun-Grabbing Obama Calls Second Amendment A Right And Tradition That Is Costing Too Many Lives”

2nd Amendment Foundation, May 15, 2014

Dudley Brown and his “National Association for Gun Rights” (NAGR) have built a reputation by attacking every other major gun rights organization and even pro-gun politicians, to the detriment of the gun rights movement. His rhetoric has done more to marginalize Second Amendment activism than all of the slanders from gun prohibition lobbying groups combined.Now Dudley has spewed his venom toward Alan Gottlieb, a true champion of Second Amendment advocacy with a proven track record of accomplishment. Gottlieb is founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA).   Continue reading “Dudley Brown’s Despicable Deception”
