The French government has denounced an “abject act of terrorism” after a man with a previous terrorist conviction carried out a gruesome knife murder of a police commander and his partner at their home outside Paris in the presence of their three-year-old son.

Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, 42, a police commander had returned to his home in the quiet residential area of Magnanville 50km (30 miles) west of Paris at 8:30pm on Monday night in plain clothes, when Larossi Abballa, a French man previously convicted of taking part in a jihadi recruitment network and claiming allegiance to Islamic State, lay in wait for him hidden behind a gate.   Continue reading “French police officer and wife murdered in ‘odious terrorist attack’”

While Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are battling in their final round in the Democratic primaries and Donald Trump is arguing that Clinton should be in prison for failing to safeguard state secrets while she was secretary of state, the same FBI that is diligently investigating her is quietly and perniciously seeking to cut more holes in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.

That amendment — which requires the government to obtain a search warrant issued by a judge based upon some evidence of criminal wrongdoing, called probable cause, before the government can search persons, houses, papers or effects — is the linchpin of the right to privacy, famously referred to by Justice Louis Brandeis as the right to be let alone.   Continue reading “The Fourth Amendment Is Supposed to Work for the People, Not the Government”

JOHN DAY — A deputy protected his relatives from blame in a random shooting by arresting the 911 caller who reported it, resulting in a foul-up that raises fresh questions about embattled Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer.

The district attorney didn’t pursue a case, instead rebuking Palmer and his deputy. The county quietly paid the caller $12,000 from its insurer to fend off a lawsuit.   Continue reading “Grant County sheriff, deputy botched arrest in ‘egregious abuse of power’”

BOSTON (CBS) — Fenway Park played host Sunday to a multi-agency counterterrorism exercise that included simulated explosions and gunfire.

WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Karyn Regal said the drill sounded and looked real, with reports of active shooters and bombs, bomb-sniffing dogs called to the scene, and people running from the park with hands in the air. Those fake victims filling the ballpark Sunday were volunteers. Many had fake blood smeared on their faces or limbs to make the scene look and feel as real as possible.   Continue reading “Terror Drill Held At Fenway Park”

These days the Pentagon has been catching plenty of flak for their insanely expensive F-35 fighter jets; an aircraft which often fails to take off despite costing over $1 trillion to develop. However, the US isn’t the only Western nation that is wasting countless tax dollars on failure prone weapon systems.

The Royal Navy has just discovered that one of their most advanced and expensive warships, the Type 45, can’t operate in the Persian Gulf. Apparently, the turbines can’t cope with the 90 degree waters of the gulf. They’re not capable of redistributing that kind of heat back to the engine, which slows the turbines down, eventually leading to a complete power failure for the entire ship. In other words, when the water gets too warm, these ships are sitting ducks.   Continue reading “$1.4 Billion Warship Can’t Run In Warm Water”
