WEB Notes: People just never seem to learn from history. The human mind is amazingly foolish at times. In one minute a people can be resolute in their belief and the next completely throw it out the window due to psychological warfare…

I am talking about school shootings. Something like that completely changes the perception of ones mind as it affects our youth and “obviously” guns are the problem.

New research has cast doubt on the claim US diplomats in Havana were the victims of a sonic weapon attacks. Some 21 embassy staff in Cuba were affected by a mystery illness in August last year.

Diplomatic staff were reportedly the victims of targeted attacks on their homes and hotel rooms in the Cuban capital. Those taken ill reportedly heard a loud, grinding noise before they were struck down with damage to their hearing, vision, balance and memory. Investigators were said to have suspected a “sonic attack.” Now, in a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), researchers from the University of Pennsylvania say that despite individuals suffering injuries to “widespread brain networks,” the cause remains unknown.   Continue reading “Mystery illness struck ‘widespread brain networks’ of US embassy staff in Cuba – study”

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A public school strike in West Virginia entered its second week as teachers balked at returning to the classroom in all 55 counties. Instead, they went back to the state Capitol on Thursday to monitor the Legislature’s progress on a 5 percent pay raise for them.

The state Senate was expected to consider Gov. Jim Justice’s proposed raise that passed the House of Delegates 98-1 Wednesday. Senate President Mitch Carmichael expressed skepticism about the governor’s suddenly higher projected tax revenues that would pay for the pay boosts but said that chamber would review it.   Continue reading “West Virginia teachers continue strike, await Senate action”

NEW YORK (AP) — A defense lawyer says it was an act of madness. Prosecutors will begin trying to prove Thursday that it was murder. Five years ago, Yoselyn Ortega, a trusted nanny to a well-to-do family, took two young children in her care into a bathroom at their Manhattan apartment, slaughtered them with a knife and then slit her own throat.

The killings of Leo Krim, 2, and Lucia Krim, 6, shocked New Yorkers, especially the thousands of parents who depend on loving nannies to take care of their children. At a trial that begins Thursday, the central mystery isn’t whether Ortega killed the children, but why she did it — and whether she was too mentally ill to be held responsible.   Continue reading “Madness or murder? Trial begins for nanny who killed 2 kids”

Invigorated by gun control advocates who flooded the Capitol Wednesday, the Illinois House passed a series of gun control measures that included a ban the sale of bump stocks and a requirement for gun dealers to be licensed.

The measures come just two weeks after tragedies involving firearms, including the death of Chicago police Cmdr. Paul Bauer and the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, caught the nation’s attention and sparked widespread outcry over the previous lack of action on the issue.   Continue reading “Collection of gun control bills passes out of Illinois House”

With various reports focusing on different statistics and emphasizing different areas of concern, however, it can be difficult to determine precisely what information is being conveyed. What is the suicide rate among military veterans, and how have these numbers been compiled?   Continue reading “Is the 22-Veterans-Per-Day Suicide Rate Reliable?”

“The evidence available thus far from the Valentine’s day massacre has been mounting against the Hogg family as undercover accomplices and beneficiaries in the clandestine operation that killed 17 students and teachers. David Hogg has zero right to talk about “gun control” when his father works for the most murderous part of the assault-rifle industry, the killer-training program known as Cubic Simulation Systems, a nice name for Murder Inc. Version 2.”

Hogg works for a company that simulates terror attacks among other kinds of firefights.   Continue reading “Kevin Hogg is Prime Suspect in Parkland Shooting”

HORN LAKE, Miss. – – A device used to fire a semi-automatic rifle faster is flying off store shelves. It’s called a bump stock, and it’s something President Trump is trying to ban.

We went to check on sales in our area, and found that there seems to be another item that’s selling even faster.

At Bullfrog Corner Pawn and Gun, AR-15’s are selling like hot cakes. The shop is averaging ten sales a day, and sold more than $30,000 worth this past Saturday alone.   Continue reading “Bump stock, AR-15 sales up”

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Meth is making a comeback across the country, and Oregon is seeing some of the worst of it.

“Prices have really dropped and the availability has gotten greater, probably certainly within the past three years,” an undercover Springfield Police narcotics officer said.

An ounce of meth four years ago would have been $1,000; today, it’s half that price.  Continue reading “As meth makes a comeback across US, Oregon sees some of the worst”

Powerful Democrats in both the House and Senate called Tuesday for an investigation into Drug Enforcement Administration-led operations in Mexico that played a role in triggering violent drug cartel attacks. These attacks left dozens, possibly hundreds, of people dead or missing, including many who had nothing to do with the drug trade.

The call was issued in a letter signed by ranking members of the committees that oversee America’s foreign law enforcement operations and draws heavily on two stories last year by ProPublica and National Geographic that documented the attacks and the DEA’s role. One storyreconstructed a 2011 massacre by the Zetas cartel in the Mexican state of Coahuila. It revealed that the wave of killings was unleashed after sensitive information obtained during a DEA operation wound up in the hands of cartel leaders, who ordered a wave of retaliation against suspected traitors.   Continue reading “Top Lawmakers Call for Investigation of DEA-Led Unit in Mexico”

A Brooklyn man was arrested Wednesday in connection with an explosion that killed a Queens landlord over the summer, though the bomb was actually meant for an NYPD officer, officials said.

The subject of school safety has become a hot topic after Nikolas Cruz murdered 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. Arguments in favor of strict gun control are based on the claim, among other things, that there is an epidemic of school shootings that have increased in the past several decades.

Northeastern University released a study Monday, however, that calls that assumption into question. The study that found schools are still the safest spot for children. The study also found that school shootings aren’t as actually common as portrayed in the media and are not as common as decades ago.   Continue reading “University Study: Schools safer than in the 90s, and school shootings not more common”

Giving new meaning to the “snowflake” generation, a headmaster in Britain has forbidden all 1,500 of his students from even touching snow.

Ges Smith is the headmaster of the Jo Richardson Community School in Dagenham, East London, and where others see fluffy white flakes of winter wonder, he sees the wide and icy path to hell.

“It only takes one student, one piece of grit, one stone in a snowball in an eye, with an injury and we change our view,” he said.   Continue reading “School Forbids Students from Touching Snow”

The United States, the United Kingdom, and France are gearing up for a renewed assault on Syria and North Korea. Earlier this month, French President Emmanuel Macron said France will strike Syria if chemical weapons have been used against civilians in the Syrian war in violation of the international treaty banning chemical weapons — even though he admitted he had not yet seen proof this was the case.

“On chemical weapons, I set a red line and I reaffirm that red line,” Macron told reporters. “If we have proven evidence that chemical weapons proscribed in treaties are used, we will strike the place where they are made.”   Continue reading “US, UK, and France Are Making the Case for War Against Both Syria and North Korea”
