Republican lawmakers are questioning the structure of an $850 million settlement between the state of Minnesota and 3M Co. that leaves them out of how the money is spent.

3M agreed to pay the money last month, resolving a massive lawsuit alleging damages to natural resources and groundwater in the Twin Cities’ east metro. State agencies will use the money to improve and safeguard drinking water.   Continue reading “MN lawmakers seek way in after being left out of how 3M settlement spent”

My son recently traveled with a few friends in November to a football game in Green Bay. Of course they get caught in the tollway system and miss paying for a few. He gets online and pays them in the grace period and all is well. Well this time he got on to pay and thought he had them all.

Just recently he receives letter stating he didn’t pay and now has $20 fine per toll missed. So $6 went to $86 and now they say if not paid by certain date it will be $286!!   Continue reading “Illinois tollway extortion”

Ranchers and farmers in North Texas are angered over the prospect of losing their land and homes through an eminent domain taking for a new reservoir. One rancher estimates that 200 people will lose their property while the water will go to the Dallas area.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, a new water reservoir will be built in North Texas. Officials with the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) claim the Bois d’Arc Creek Reservoir will provide water for 1.7 million people, Paul Cobler reported for KERA News and the Texas Tribune. Critics point out the water will not be used for the rural counties in North Texas but will instead be piped to the rapidly growing Metroplex.  Continue reading “Texas Ranchers Angered over Eminent Domain Taking for Reservoir”

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned the United States on Sunday for not defying the Second Amendment by passing a nationwide ban on guns, blaming lawmakers’ respect for the Constitution on “corruption.”

“No one dares apply the clear solution to the promotion of guns and homicide in America,” Khamenei tweeted. “What’s the solution? It’s to make guns illegal”:   Continue reading “Iran’s Supreme Leader Calls for U.S. to ‘Make Guns Illegal’”

The big one is coming: a global virus pandemic that could kill 33 million victims in its first 200 days.

Within the ensuing two years, more than 300 million people could perish worldwide.

At the extreme, with disrupted supply of food and medicines and without enough survivors to run computer or energy systems, the global economy would collapse. Starvation and looting could lay waste to parts of the world.   Continue reading “Why I believe a killer flu pandemic is lurking just beyond the corner”

A 20-year-old is suing Dick’s Sporting Goods after being refused a Ruger .22 rifle purchase based on his age.

The plaintiff, Tyler Watson, claims he faced “Unlawful Age Discrimination.”

Watson attempted to buy the rifle “on or about February 24” at a Medford, Oregon, Field and Stream store. (Field and Stream is subsidiary of Dick’s.)  Watson’s suit, filed in the Circuit Court of Oregon for the County of Jackson, says a store employee refused the purchase and indicated, “He would not sell [Watson] any firearm, including rifles and shotguns, or ammunition for a firearm, because [Watson] is under 21 years old.”  Continue reading “Oregon: 20-Year-Old Sues Dick’s Sporting Goods for Refusing to Sell Rifle”

Truth Out – by Dahr Jamail

If a new bill in the Washington State legislature is passed, commanders of military bases could have the power to impact land use planning anywhere in the state.

Critics of the bill fear it would be a slide down the slippery slope of allowing the military free reign to do what it wants — wherever it wants to do it — within the state, with little or no recourse by the citizens it could impact. For example, the Navy, which has already expressed a desire to control marine traffic along Puget Sound’s Hood Canal region, could decide to close the waterway to all civilian traffic. Another Navy wish has been to end civilian drone traffic over civilian land near its bases — and it could decide to end it over the entire state. (While many might celebrate the end of drones, it would still be an instance of the military impeding civilian liberties.)   Continue reading “The Military Wants to Dictate Private Land Use — and Washington State Might Let It”

Flippy, a burger-flipping robot, has just begun work at a restaurant in Pasadena, California. It is the first of dozens of locations for the system, which is destined to replace human fast-food workers.

According to a press release from Miso, the company — which bills Flippy as the world’s first burger-flipping robot — began working with Caliburger two years ago to develop it as a “cost-effective and highly efficient solution” that is “specifically designed to operate in an existing commercial kitchen layout and to serve alongside kitchen staff to safely and efficiently fulfill a variety of cooking tasks.”   Continue reading “‘Flippy’ A Burger-Flipping Robot Just Started Its First Shift”

If you think Attorney General Jeff Sessions is freedom-trampling, liberty-loathing tyrant, just wait until you see who fellow tyrant Donald Trump nominated for the Sentencing Commission. Bill Otis is possibly the worst selection that Trump could have possibly made.

“Two facts about crime and sentencing dwarf everything else we’ve learned for the last 50 years,” Otis said at a 2014 Federalist Society gathering. “When we have more prison, we have less crime. And when we have less prison, we have more crime.” Keep in mind, according to the government, many victimless crimes carry minimum sentences, and because of that, we’ve got a major prison over-crowding population in “the land of the free.” Otis has been a vocal proponent of mandatory sentencing for such “crimes.”  Continue reading “Think Sessions Is Bad? Wait Until You See Who Trump Nominated For The Sentencing Commission”

Grand Junction, CO — A Colorado district attorney says he’s “appalled” by a criminal justice system that “completely failed” this week, as Michael McFadden, previously convicted of sexually assaulting half a dozen children — for which he was sentenced to over 300 years — is now walking free due to a technicality 

Michael McFadden, 46, was released from Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Eastern Colorado on Tuesday. The reason? An appeals court ruled that McFadden’s right to a speedy trial had been violated.   Continue reading “Colorado Pedophile Sentenced to 316 Years in Prison Walks Free on Technicality”

The Khazarian mafia faction that has been trying to start World War III and kill 90% of humanity is now on its last legs, multiple sources agree. The clearest sign of this was an executive order and a 636-page annex issued on March 1 by U.S. President Donald Trump and the Department of Defense that prepares the way for Nuremberg-style tribunals.  Continue reading “End game for cabal as Nuremberg II tribunals loom”
