A new lawsuit, filed by a Georgia woman, claims that Albany police officers beat her so badly, and sat on her noticeably pregnant belly that it caused her to have a miscarriage.

Lawyers for Kenya Harris filed the case in federal court recently, according to Courthouse News. Harris explained that the incident happened when she went to the Albany Police Department back in May of 2011. She was there to pick up her son – a minor – after he had been arrested.   Continue reading “Cop Sits On Pregnant Woman’s Belly, Beats Her Until She Has Miscarriage”

Barack Obama has promised a veto on the bill that would enable construction of the Keystone XL pipeline without a presidential permit. Without enough support for an override in the House, let along the Senate, passage of the measure seems unlikely. Given the political calculus was clear at the start, you might wonder why so many Democrats as well as Republicans voted for the measure.

The answer may be money. Senators and representatives who voted for the measure received far more in campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry than those who opposed it, according to an analysis by watchdog group MapLight.org. Working from public contribution data collected by the Center for Responsive Politics, the organization matched votes on the bill to the money received by members of Congress from the oil and gas industry.   Continue reading “Keystone XL Votes, Big Oil Contributions Connected”

One week ago, when previewing what may be the first lockout of the West Coast Ports since 2002, we cited the Retail Industry Leaders Association who, realizing that failure to reach an agreement between the dockworker union and their bosses, the Pacific Maritime Association representing port management would lead to devastating consequences for the US retail industry, had several very damning soundbites:   Continue reading “The “Catastrophic Shutdown Of America’s Supply Chain” Begins: Stunning Photos Of West Coast Port Congestion”

We aren’t “influencing” gun control legislation, we’re NEGATING it.

David Codrea comments:

What makes you think “politics” is their primary goal? They’re here, they’re determined, they’re growing and they’re fed up. You can continue condemning them, as most no doubt will, but you’re not going to stop them without overwhelming police state force attacking the exercise of the uninfringed right to keep and bear arms.   Continue reading ““Spooking lawmakers with guns isn’t political genius.””

United States Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) has never seen a proposed new infringement on that which shall not be infringed that he hasn’t liked, so it should come as no surprise that he is enthusiastically on board with a pair of bills recently introduced in Congress that would impose a five-year prison term for acquiring an 11-round magazine. S.407/H.R. 752, the “Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act of 2015,” introduced by Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Representative Elizabeth Etsy (D-CT) respectively, would even ban the practice of attaching two of the “acceptable” capacity magazines together:   Continue reading “U.S. Senator says millions of Americans are ‘arming against the government’”

Twenty-seven years ago at the 1988 Republican National Convention in New Orleans, George H. W. Bush accepted his party’s nomination to run for President of the United States.

(This was when he announced Dan Quayle as his running mate, to which Senator John McCain later remarked “I can’t believe a guy that handsome wouldn’t have some impact.”)   Continue reading “Surreal: IRS apologizes for seizing bank accounts”

ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA (NEWSPLEX) —  “On Saturday and Sunday it may be busy in here, but for a lot of businesses, being busy two days a week just doesn’t cut it,” said Adam Huffman, a kiosk retailer at “iFixt.”

Many retailers have noticed slower traffic over the past couple of months in the Fashion Square Mall off of Route 29, as a string of stores have closed its doors. When you enter the mall, you’ll notice many empty kiosks and and closed store spaces with no name on the front.   Continue reading “String of Store Closures, Less Foot Traffic Plague Malls”

Jews have been known to fake attacks on themselves in order to generate sympathy (and shekels) from the stupid goyim. This latest example comes from France, which is a country that the Jew-run media has been focusing on a lot recently as a center of “resurgent anti-Semitism.”

Here, we have one such case of this terrifying resurgent anti-Semitism.  Feel sorry for these Jews, goyim.   Continue reading “France: Police Catch 73-Year-Old Jew Spray-Painting the Word “Jew” on 20 Cars”

Nearly 5 million Kidde fire extinguishers sold over the past two years are being recalled because a defective valve could cause them to fail when used to put out a fire, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.

The massive recall involves 31 different models of disposable fire extinguishers — the type that aren’t made to be refilled. Most were sold between August 2013 and November 2014 for $18 to $65 at stores including Home Depot (HD) and Walmart (WMT), but one model, the XL 5MR, sold for $200, the CPSC said.   Continue reading “Kidde Recalls 4.8 Million Fire Extinguishers That Could Fail”

Already under fire from Iraq War veterans for making up events, NBC is taking new flak today from former military brass over a correspondent’s claim that sniper hero Chris Kyle was a “racist” on “killing sprees” while protecting troops in Iraq.

Some 22 retired generals and admirals, including a former deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, joined with dozens of other officers and the press watchdog Media Research Center in a letter to demand an apology from NBC parent Comcast after the network refused to acknowledge the comments.   Continue reading “Brass demand NBC apology over claim sniper Kyle was ‘racist’ on ‘killing sprees’”

The mainstream narrative about “recovery” from the financial crisis is a giant con job. And nowhere does the mendacity run deeper than in the “banks are fixed” meme—an insidious cover story that has been concocted by the crony capitalist cabals that thrive at the intersection of Wall Street and Washington.

So this morning comes yet another expose in the Wall Street Journal about the depredations of Bank America (BAC). Not surprisingly, at the center of this latest malefaction is still another set of schemes to grossly abuse the deposit insurance safety net and enlist the American taxpayer in the risky business of financing high-rolling London hedge funds.   Continue reading “Shoot Bank Of America Now—-The Case For Super Glass-Steagall Is Overwhelming”

MERRIMACK — The local police department, fed up with the continuous snowstorms this winter, has issued an arrest warrant for Punxsutawney Phil.

On Tuesday, the Merrimack Police Department posted a photograph of the suspect, a famous rodent that lives in a Pennsylvania burrow and recently predicted another six weeks of winter. In an effort to make light of the countless inches of snow that have fallen in New Hampshire in the past two weeks, area police are attempting to make a few Facebook followers smile despite the hibernating cold.   Continue reading “Arrest warrant issued for Punxsutawney Phil”

“Millions of people have become little news broadcasters and anchors, relaying pictures and text about their parties, picnics, family gatherings, updating their breaking stories, narrating the story lines of their lives. All they need for a complete imitation of the networks is sponsors.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

It’s not only the content of news that is embraced, it’s the style, the manner of presentation—and in the long run, the presentation is far more corrosive, far more deadly than the content.   Continue reading “The elite television anchor: narrator of reality”

Los Angeles, California – A police officer accidentally shot a 15-year-old child after he saw someone else pointing a toy gun. The boy that was injured was not the person holding toy gun and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The police then detained the group of children that were present, and blamed the entire situation on them.

Speaking to the media this week, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Cmdr. Andrew Smith denied any responsibility on the part of the police, but instead blamed the children who were just playing with a toy gun.   Continue reading “Police Shoot Teenage Boy Because Someone Nearby Had A Toy Gun”
