Somewhere along the line of human evolution, fears caused many of us (especially those who lost their link to the natural environment and came to live in crowded, stressful living conditions) to shrink into a smaller way of understanding — and living — our existence. We needed to feel safe. And the unknown made us fearful. So we shrank the unknown into manageable bits that took much of the meaning — and the magic — out of it.  Continue reading “Staying Small To Stay Safe”

Pensacola, FL — The numbers do not lie. Police in America are the deadliest throughout the entire world. American cops kill far more than their counterparts in the rest of the world and these numbers are indisputable. One indicator that the problem has gotten out of hand is the fact that cops are killing cops. In a tragic case out of Florida this week, a police officer killed his own police chief.  Continue reading “Cop Arrested in Florida for Murdering His Own Police Chief in a Hotel”

President Donald Trump floated the option Tuesday to let some children brought to the country illegally stay in the country if the Supreme Court ruled against former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

“President Obama said he had no legal right to sign order, but would anyway,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “If Supreme Court remedies with overturn, a deal will be made with Dems for them to stay!”  Continue reading “Donald Trump Floats Deal with Democrats to Let DACA Recipients Stay”

Since the early 2000s, a massive hydropower project in southeastern Turkey has been mired in controversy, moving forward in fits and starts. But as of this past July, construction is finally complete. As the dam and its reservoir become fully operational, the line between hydropower and state power will be washed away. This fall, the violence that followed a sudden, destabilizing withdrawal of US troops from nearby northern Syria captured the world’s attention as it cleared the path for Turkey’s military to dominate the Kurdish opposition.  Continue reading “Turkey’s Other Weapon Against the Kurds: Water”

Orange County, FL — School resource officers in Florida always seem to be in the news for abusing or otherwise causing grave harm to the children they are allegedly sworn to protect. In case after infuriating case we’ve seen Florida cops cower behind a wall while children were murdered in a school to sexually assaulting the children they are tasked with protecting, to beating up small girls and even handcuffing and arresting 6-year-old children. Another one of these incident unfolded last week as an officer was captured on video grabbing a child by her hair and throwing her around.  Continue reading “‘Stupid Little Children!’: Cop Fired After Throwing Child Around by Her Hair”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday dealt a blow to the firearms industry, rejecting Remington Arms Co’s bid to escape a lawsuit by families of victims aiming to hold the gun maker liable for its marketing of the assault-style rifle used in the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre that killed 20 children and six adults.

The justices turned away Remington’s appeal of a ruling by Connecticut’s top court to let the lawsuit proceed despite a federal law that broadly shields firearms manufacturers from liability when their weapons are used in crimes. The lawsuit will move forward at a time of high passions in the United States over the issue of gun control.  Continue reading “U.S. Supreme Court will not shield gun maker from Sandy Hook lawsuit”

The Jingye Group, a company with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has agreed in principle to purchase British Steel for an estimated 70 million pounds ($90m).

The acquisition deal could save up to 4,000 jobs in the UK, as British Steel has been propped up by the government since it went into liquidation in May. The Associated Press reports the sale will include the steelworks at Scunthorpe, U.K. mills and shares of FN Steel BV, British Steel France Rail SAS and TSP Engineering and the Redcar Bulk Terminal.  Continue reading “Company with Ties to Chinese Communist Party Buys One Third of British Steel Industry”

BOISE, Idaho — This city sure knows how to roll up the welcome mat — that is, if you happen to move here from California.

Just consider last week’s mayoral election. It was the most competitive race in recent memory, a referendum on growth in the rapidly expanding capital of Idaho. And candidate Wayne Richey ran on a very simple platform: Stop the California invasion. Continue reading “‘Go back to California’: Wave of newcomers fuels backlash in Boise”

I will tell you something that if you do not already understand, I cannot believe you are coherently capable.  You should know that what the enemy of humanity has planned for you is playing out right in front of your eyes on the stupid box screen.

Pro-democratic and anti-democratic groups in Hong Kong were going at each other (brother against brother, father against son, it is an old tale).  One shot another last night and another from the other side was set on fire.  Those being labeled Freedom Fighters screamed “Democracy”, while their foes advocated for communism, both of which are the same thing, reminiscent of our Civil War, where each side screamed “Freedom” as they butchered one another and weakened the whole to the point that all could be enslaved.

A Florida detective successfully obtained a warrant to search the company GEDmatch’s full database of user-provided genetic information, even if users had opted out of appearing in police search results, HuffPost has confirmed.

The warrant, signed by a judge in Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in July, will likely earn praise from law enforcement and criticism from privacy advocates wary of how DNA databases could be abused.  Continue reading “Judge Says Police Can Search Company’s Entire DNA Database”
