La Resistencia, an illegal immigrant-led far-left organization, staged a protest outside Amazon’s headquarters to demand that they stop selling facial recognition software to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

According to the group’s Facebook page, they are “a grassroots undocumented led movement that works to end the detention of immigrants and stop all deportations.”  Continue reading “Illegal Immigrant Group Stages Protests at Amazon and Jeff Bezo’s Home Against Them Selling Software to ICE”

On July 18th, Initiative Petition 40  was filed in Oregon to restrict the Second Amendment rights of law abiding adults by imposing a broad, one-size-fits-all method of storing firearms.

This egregious attack on our freedoms uses virtually the same language as the failed Initiative Petition 44 from 2018 as well as the same provisions from Senate Bill 978 that did not pass during the 2019 legislative session.  Anti-gun proponents will stop at nothing to restrict self-defense rights in Oregon, and will be using this initiative petition in an attempt to coerce legislators to pass gun control during the 2020 short session.  Continue reading “Oregon: Initiative Filed to Restrict Self-Defense”

This is the fantasy: we can rebuild our entire global industrial society every generation or two forever.

“Earthrise” is one of the most influential photographs ever published. Taken on the Apollo 8 mission in late December 1968 by astronaut Bill Anders, it captures Earth’s uniqueness, isolation and modest scale: a blue and white dot on a vast sea of lifeless darkness.  Continue reading “The Planetary Insanity of Eternal Economic Growth”

STEBBINS, Alaska — When Nimeron Mike applied to be a city police officer here last New Year’s Eve, he didn’t really expect to get the job.

Mike was a registered sex offender and had served six years behind bars in Alaska jails and prisons. He’d been convicted of assault, domestic violence, vehicle theft, groping a woman, hindering prosecution, reckless driving, drunken driving and choking a woman unconscious in an attempted sexual assault. Among other crimes.  Continue reading “The Village Where Every Cop Has Been Convicted of Domestic Violence”

Imagine a day whereby police can randomly, actively, and at lightning speeds search databases for active search warrants using only a camera and facial recognition technology. That day is here. And despite the objections of high-ranking members in policing circles, the very real threat of loss of 4th and 14th amendment rights is upon us. And, as the following case illustrates, those who speak out against it — even from within the system — are subject to being silenced.  Continue reading “Police Commissioner Arrested For Questioning City’s Use Of Facial Recognition”

The Great Recession

News of significant recessionary drops in the US became as relentless this past week as the ping, ping, pang of drips from a leaking ceiling hitting pans in the New York Stock Exchange. I’ve been saying you would hear the sounds of recession everywhere as soon as the second-quarter earnings reporting season began this summer. Here we are, and here’s a list of the week’s downbeat economic news that quickly terminated the S&P 500’s rally … right where I said it would end … slightly above its previous summit.  Continue reading “The Drip, Drip, Drip of Recession”

The Great Recession

Fed missteps and flip-flops this week tripped up multiple markets. After accidentally announcing their ammo is down to one last bullet against recession, can they be trusted to handle powerful weapons?

Given how the market is now trading on nothing but the Fed, it’s no surprise that it leaped up instantly in the middle of weak when the European Central Bank announced it may be raising its long-time inflation target from “just below 2%” up to 3% just as New York Fed President John Williams (a voting FOMC member) said the Fed should respond quickly to recessionary troubles with its own rate cuts.  Continue reading “The Fed’s Final Bullet”
