PHOENIX (AP) — Immigrants are vowing to fight to stay in the U.S. and advocates are launching campaigns including fundraisers and registration drives after the Trump administration announced it would dismantle a program that protected hundreds of thousands of young people from deportation.

Immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children or whose families overstayed visas said they are veterans of setbacks in the political arena. They added that they are also accustomed to being persistent, and they pledge to do the same in this situation.   Continue reading “Young immigrants vow to fight Trump’s halt of program”

President Donald Trump last week lifted Obama-era restrictions on the transfer of surplus military hardware to police departments; however, a review of Defense Department data shows the flow of materiel actually increased in Washington state despite the prohibition on some items.

Since the inception of the Department of Defense’s so-called “1033 Program” as part of Ronald Reagan’s war on drugs in 1991, more than $30.2 million in surplus military gear has been given to state law-enforcement agencies.

WASHINGTON (CN) – A D.C. man with cerebral palsy can continue to press his claim that police officers followed him home from a bus stop without  cause, and then assaulted him with a stun gun as they beat him, a federal judge ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson rejected an argument that Michael Robinson’s case should be tossed out because he failed to identify the precise actions of the 38 officers involved in the altercation, calling it an “odd proposition.”   Continue reading “Disabled Man Can Press Case Against DC Officers He Claims Beat Him”

North Korea may very well have the ability to kill millions of Americans, without directly firing on U.S. soil. For the first time, the pariah country’s state news agency warned it could hit the U.S. with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) onslaught, a threat that experts contend is both very real and comes with catastrophic consequences.

“The biggest danger would be shorting out of the power grid, especially on the East Coast. Imagine a situation where large sections of the U.S. had no power. Imagine New York or Washington D.C. with no power for just a week. The implications would be hard to fathom,” Harry Kazianis, Director of Defense Studies at the Center for the National Interest, told Fox News. “The casualty rates would be off the charts.”   Continue reading “Millions of American lives could be at stake as North Korea threatens to attack power grid”

There was even room in the top part to house a logistical command center, chock full of computers and other equipment to analyze and manage the firefighting operations.   Continue reading “Forest Fires Rage As 747 Supertanker is GROUNDED – Forestry “Service” Won’t Give It Permission to Battle Fires”

Senator John McCain returned to the Senate Chamber on Tuesday to cast a deciding vote allowing the legislative body to begin debating a bill put together behind closed doors by Republicans that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

And while many doctors and provider associations are opposed to a repeal — alongside at least half of Americans — major health industry players, especially on the insurance side, have been vocal in their opposition to the Affordable Care Act. In fact, the health industry donated millions more to Republicans than Democrats in every election cycle since 2010, as the Republican alternatives are expected to substantially enrich the industry.   Continue reading “Here’s how much the healthcare industry paid John McCain to take away your healthcare”

Two days into the start of my daughter’s 7th grade school year, she brought home a document that triggered a bit of an apoplectic, expletive-laden meltdown for me, and it was all centered around one word, Patriotism. The document was a form the school wanted me to sign acknowledging my receipt of something called the “Framework for Citizenship- The Student Code of Conduct.”

This document, to me, read like a badly written Sci Fi novel, only the Fi was missing, as in, this was a non-fiction declaration.   Continue reading “Public School Demands Patriotic Global Citizen Alliance From Kids”
