September 26, 2016 (Fault Lines) — In the vein of “this can’t be true, can it?” the Saginaw County Sheriff apparently has a habit of shopping the neighborhood, and even surrounding counties, for items his department can use or at least convert to cash. Describing himself as a modern day Robin Hood, he takes from the rich drug dealers and gives to the poor himself and his department. He likes having nice things: a decked out Ford Mustang GT, a targeted Cadillac Escalade, and even a classic 1965 Chevy Nova SS. And don’t forget all the other things that can be sold for cold hard cash.   Continue reading “Got Nice Stuff? Beware Of The Saginaw County Sheriff”

A presidential historian and former White House staffer told an Aug. 11 gathering in Long Branch that the 2016 presidential race is shaping up to be the “most Jewish” in history.

“Think about it,” said Dr. Tevi Troy. “Both leading candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, have machatunim,” Jewish in-laws of their daughters. (Chelsea Clinton is married to the Jewish Marc Mezvinsky, and Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, married the Orthodox Jared Kushner, originally of Livingston, after converting.)   Continue reading “Historian: 2016’s is ‘most Jewish’ race”

Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy, of South Carolina, is not a fan of the Obama Justice Department’s sanctuary city policies.

“Time and time again, our nation has witnessed the tragic consequences of this administration’s failure to enforce immigration law,” he said in his opening statement at a hearing on sanctuary cities Tuesday. “Witnessing these tragedies is unsettling enough, but it pales in comparison to the grief and the anguish and the separation experienced by the families of those victimized.”   Continue reading “Trey Gowdy: DOJ Aiding and Abetting Local Governments in Their Failure to Enforce Immigration Law”

When you’re in the sticks, you absolutely, positively must maintain some semblance of self-reliance out there — no matter how long your backwoods stay happens to be. Simply put, the duration of your trek or tramping may not necessarily last for a week, but you’ve got to be prepared for the possibility that it might.

At the same time, you might very well be planning on staying out there for more than a week, but nothing will dampen your camp like a massive rip in the roof of your tent. These things happen, but that’s why we plan for such events in advance … because Murphy’s Law tends to kick in when it’s least convenient.   Continue reading “Superglue Can Do THAT?! Yes, And Here’s 3 Reasons It Should Be In Every Survival Kit”

Wells Fargo & Co. Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf, fighting to keep his job amid a national political furor, will forgo more than $41 million of stock and salary as the bank’s board investigates how employees opened legions of bogus accounts for customers.

It’s a swift turn for one of the industry’s most exalted leaders, marking the biggest forfeiture of compensation from a major U.S. bank chief since at least the 2008 financial crisis. But it may not be enough to spare Stumpf another lashing when he returns to Capitol Hill on Thursday. Last week, Senator Elizabeth Warren demanded he resign for “gutless leadership” after he blamed abuses on low-wage employees.   Continue reading “Wells Fargo’s CEO Forfeits $41 Million in Fight to Keep Job”

Nearly 8.1 million Americans paid $1.7 billion in penalties in 2014 for not having health insurance — more than the IRS initially predicted.

The individual mandate, or what the IRS calls “individual shared responsibility payments,” requires everyone either have insurance or pay a fine, and was one of the last pieces of Obamacare to go into effect. IRS set the fine at $96, or 1 percent of the reported adjusted gross income, whichever is greater, in 2014.   Continue reading “8 Million Americans Paid $1.7 Billion For Not Having Obamacare”
