PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — In a city well known for its green activism, an environmental threat has bubbled up in an unexpected place: the drinking water at some public schools. The Willamette Week newspaper reported late Tuesday that over half of the 90 school sites tested between 2010 and 2012 had elevated levels of lead in the drinking water at some locations.

The report, based on a public records request, landed during an emergency meeting already underway to discuss why the Portland Public Schools failed to disclose elevated lead levels at two schools for nearly two months — and left the taps running for days while it completed repairs.   Continue reading “Portland parents decry officials over lead in school water”

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — When Palm Beach Gardens police officer Nouman Raja pulled up to Corey Jones and his broken down SUV last fall, he didn’t know Jones was on a recorded phone call with a tow truck operator.

Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg charged Raja with manslaughter and attempted murder Wednesday, saying his shooting of Jones, 31, last Oct. 18 was unjustified and that he lied to a 911 operator to make it appear that Jones was still armed and a threat more than 30 seconds after he had been felled by the officer’s bullets. If convicted, Raja could face life in prison.   Continue reading “Ex-Florida officer expected in court for musician’s slaying”

The Good News is that each act of solicitation for a donation is a felony. There are literally thousands of felonies that cannot be pardoned by President Obama because they occurred either under foreign jurisdictions or in violation of individual US state laws.   Continue reading “Charles Ortel: Clintons Are Vulnerable For Their Foundation Crimes”

We are watching an entire nation collapse right in front of our eyes.  As you read this article, there are severe shortages of just about anything you can imagine in Venezuela.  That includes food, toilet paper, medicine, electricity and even Coca-Cola.  All over the country, people are standing in extremely long lines for hours on end just hoping that they will be able to purchase some provisions for their hungry families.  At times when there hasn’t been anything for the people that have waited in those long lines, full-blown riots have broken out.  All of this is happening even though Venezuela has not been hit by a war, a major natural disaster, a terror attack, an EMP burst or any other type of significant “black swan” event.  When debt spirals out of control, currency manipulation goes too far and government interference reaches ridiculous extremes, this is what can happen to an economy.  The following are 8 lessons that we can learn from the epic economic meltdown in Venezuela…   Continue reading “8 Lessons That We Can Learn From The Epic Economic Meltdown In Venezuela”
