Hundreds of police departments in two states were found to have broken laws mandating police reports for in-custody deaths. Registries required by California and Texas were missing a total of 660 deaths from 2005 to 2015.

They are the only two states that require law enforcement to report all in-custody deaths, but it seems enforcing the law is trickier than anyone imagined. Research from Texas State University in San Marco found that the two states did not report hundreds of deaths that involved officers during a 10-year period.   Continue reading “Police in California, Texas fail to report 660 officer-involved deaths”

RECIFE, Brazil (AP) — Two weeks shy of his first birthday, doctors began feeding Jose Wesley Campos through a nose tube because swallowing problems had left him dangerously underweight. Learning how to feed is the baby’s latest struggle as medical problems mount for him and many other infants born with small heads to mothers infected with the Zika virus in Brazil.

“It hurts me to see him like this. I didn’t want this for him,” said Jose’s mother, Solange Ferreira, breaking into tears as she cradled her son. A year after a spike in the number of newborns with the defect known as microcephaly, doctors and researchers have seen many of the babies develop swallowing difficulties, epileptic seizures and vision and hearing problems.   Continue reading “Zika ‘syndrome’: Health problems mount as babies turn 1”

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Construction on the four-state Dakota Access pipeline will resume on private land in North Dakota that’s near a camp where thousands of protesters supporting tribal rights have gathered for months, the company building it said Tuesday.

In turn, protesters said they’re discussing nonviolent opposition measures, including chaining themselves to equipment. Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners’ statement follows Sunday’s federal appeals court ruling that allowed construction to resume within 20 miles of Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir that is the water supply for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation. The $3.8 million, 1,200-mile pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois is otherwise largely complete.   Continue reading “Dakota Access pipeline work to resume near large protest”

Infogalactic, an online encyclopedia branding itself as a censorship free alternative to Wikipedia without “bias or thought police,” has launched.

The online encyclopedia that refers to itself as a “Planetary Knowledge Core™”  was conceived as a replacement for Wikipedia that promises to be free of the problems that have plagued Wikipedia such as the bureaucracy amongst editors, censorship of content, harassment, and vandalism of public figures’ pages.   Continue reading “Infogalactic Launches as Alternative to Biased Wikipedia”

Yahoo has turned off its e-mail forwarding feature, making it much more difficult for its users to switch e-mail providers.

With automatic forwarding turned off, e-mails coming into Yahoo cannot be forwarded to a new e-mail address. The move will not impact those who previously had forwarding in place, it affects only those trying to take advantage of the feature now.   Continue reading “Yahoo Disables E-Mail Forwarding”

Gun Watch – by Dean Weingarten

Mexico had a flourishing, legal, gun culture until 1972, when the Mexican government made private, legal, ownership of guns extremely difficult and expensive.  The change in law was meant to disarm the political opposition and keep the existing power structure in place.  The power structure has remained in place, but it has not flourished.  Much of Mexico is contested ground, with narco-cartels that are not aligned with the Mexican government in armed conflict with the Government and its cartel allies.  Private citizens are caught in the crossfire, abused by both sides, and denied the legal ability to arm themselves.   Continue reading “Mexico Looking at Second Amendment?”

At first blush, it’s one of the most startling statistics about the U.S. labor market: Over 94 million Americans over the age of 15 do not have a job and are not looking for work. Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly highlighted the statistic and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has hailed it as a sign of economic decline.

But here’s the challenge with touting that figure as “too high” or promising to reverse it: The number of Americans outside the labor force is almost certain to climb dramatically in coming decades for the simple reason that the population is getting both larger and older.   Continue reading “Over 94 Million Americans Are Outside the Labor Force and That’s Almost Certain to Rise”

The United States could be implicated in war crimes for supporting Saudi Arabia’s deadly military campaign in Yemen, American official documents show.

According to the documents obtained by Reuters, US government lawyers warned Washington last year that it might be considered a “co-belligerent” in the Saudi war under international law.

WEB Notes: Russia and Turkey, Putin and Erdogan are pictured both sitting together discussing the Syrian situation calling for peace in Syria. Meanwhile, Russia once again deploys their fighter jets to drop more bombs on Syria. Just as we have seen for the last two years. They call for calm and then drop the bombs. Another take away I want you to notice is Putin and Erdogan sitting together. It was months ago you were told by the media of all shapes and sizes both of these nations were going to go to war and NATO would be involved. It once again was suppose to be a nuclear war and now they sit together calling for peace. Before you swallow the hook of the media, ensure it lines up with your Father’s Letter.

I saw this article and “on a hunch” confirmed that the senior advisor to Paul Ryan and suspected leaker is a big-time Zionist Jew. Complete with the standard family “holocaust” background story.

When I read about some high ranking political advisor and look into it, my “hunches” are 90+% correct. Our political system is infested. This is just another nail in the coffin proving it’s a one party system and elections and voting are pure theater.   Continue reading “Top Paul Ryan Advisor Leaked Trump Sex Talk Tape to WaPo”

The government of Saudi Arabia is now employing 10 lobbying firms in Washington as it grapples with a new law that would allow families of victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to sue the country.

The Saudis have hired King & Spalding to provide “advocacy and legal services” related to the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, according to a contract filed with the Justice Department. It’s the fifth firm to be hired by the country in recent weeks.   Continue reading “Saudi Arabia hires 10th lobby firm”

If a police officer sees a vehicle that looks like it might be traveling fast, he can pull it over and issue a ticket for speeding. That was the finding of the Eleventh Circuit US Court of Appeals in a September 30 ruling that upheld the July 19, 2013 traffic stop that landed Isaac Dillard Wilson, 35, in hot water.

It was 10:30pm in Tallahassee when Officer Patrick Coney spotted a Toyota Camry headed westbound on Orange Avenue before turning left onto South Adams Street. Officer Coney at the time was headed southbound, but he turned to initiate a traffic stop.   Continue reading “Federal Appeals Court Makes Looking Fast A Crime”

SAN DIEGO –  Immigration authorities caught just over half of the people who illegally entered the U.S. from Mexico last year, according to a report commissioned by the Department of Homeland Security that offers one of the most detailed assessments of border security ever compiled.

The report found that 54 percent of people who entered illegally between border crossings got caught in the 2015 fiscal year. That’s much lower than the 81 percent success rate that Homeland Security cited publicly using a different counting method.   Continue reading “Authorities caught barely half of illegal border crossers last year, report finds”

You knew this was happening, and you knew they would never admit it during an election year, but here we are:
