Homeless people living on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Miami are also relieving themselves on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Miami, turning the city’s core into an outdoor toilet, merchants and residents say.

“The situation is the worst I’ve seen in my 25 years here,” said business owner Jose Goyanes. “The stench is really bad, even after you hose it down. We see people urinating against buildings or pulling their pants down and squatting because they have nowhere else to go.”  Continue reading “Human waste from homeless people makes downtown Miami streets unpleasant, unsanitary”

I kicked this son of a bitch off the site a long time ago and bottom line, f-k him and the horse he rode in on, but look at how the pretend patriots run to their jews thinking they can violate the ratified law, the supreme superior law of this country.

They hate us because we tell the truth.  It does not make anybody special or more oppressed.  Continue reading “Check out the email I got this afternoon.”

During a hearing Tuesday on last year’s deadly Florida International University pedestrian footbridge collapse, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the bridge’s “catastrophic failure” stemmed from a flawed design with “significant errors.”

All of the major parties involved in the project — from the university to the Florida Department of Transportation and the project’s engineers and contractors — came in for harsh criticism during the public hearing, something they have largely avoided as the NTSB conducted a closed-doors investigation over the past 19 months while victims and their families demanded answers.  Continue reading “‘Screaming something was wrong’: Feds fault FIU, state and contractors for deadly bridge collapse”

A 17-year-old boy suspected of shooting a 16-year-old twice during a confrontation outside their Santa Rosa continuation school Tuesday morning was in custody as authorities lifted a 2.5-hour lockdown, allowing classes to resume for thousands of high school and junior college students on three adjoining campuses.

It’s the first school shooting in Sonoma County history.  Continue reading “Ridgway High School student, 17, arrested in shooting near Santa Rosa campus”

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, President Trump bragged about his efforts to try to get the US “out of wars,” then warned that “we may have to get in wars, too. OK?“

Trump continued on talking about how ready the US is for a war with Iran, and how Iran will get hit “like they’ve never been hit before.” The implication is clear that Trump is nominally ending wars, but that America’s hawks will get fresh, new wars to replace them.

Princeton Theological Seminary will set aside more than $25 million to pay reparations for its historical ties to slavery, thrusting the seminary to the forefront of a national debate over how America’s should reconcile with its slave-owning past.

Calling the payments an act of repentance, President M. Craig Barnes said in a statement Friday the seminary is “committed to telling the truth,” even though the seminary itself never owned slaves. Continue reading “Princeton seminary will pay $27M in slavery reparations”

Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been one of the most vocal critics of President Donald Trump’s decision to move US troops out of northeastern Syria, said on Sunday he now believed “historic solutions” were possible, Reuters reports.

In an interview with Fox News, Graham said a conversation he had with Trump over the weekend had fueled his optimism that a solution could be reached where the security of Turkey and the Kurds was guaranteed and fighters from Daesh contained.  Continue reading “Syria critic Lindsey Graham reverses stance, says Trump’s policy could succeed”

Tomorrow the House of Representatives has scheduled to vote on what appears to be an unconstitutional copyright bill that carries with it life altering penalties. The bill would slap $30,000 fines on Internet users who share a copyrighted work they don’t own online.

Supporters of the bill insist there’s no problem, because $30,000 isn’t that much money. They even laughed about it. We know the reality: when nearly half of this country would struggle to afford an emergency $400 expense, the penalties in this bill are deadly serious. What’s worse, they’ll be imposed not by an experienced judge, but instead by a committee of unaccountable bureaucrats.  Continue reading “Ready to Pay $30,000 for Sharing a Photo Online? The House of Representatives Thinks You Are”

Mises – by Alasdair Macleod

When an economy turns from expansion to contraction there is an order of events. The first signs are an unexpected increase in inventories of unsold goods, both accompanied with and followed by business surveys indicating a general softening in demand. For monetarists, this is often confirmed by an inverting yield curve, which tells them that at the margin the short-term rates set by the central bank are becoming too high for business conditions.  Continue reading “Central Bank “Stimulus” is Really a Huge Redistribution Scheme”

Seattle is set to tax residents for using home heating oil in an effort to move the city away from a dependency on fossil fuels.

The city’s Democratic Mayor Jenny Durkan in late September signed into law a bill that could prove costly to those unable to keep up with emerging home technology. A tax on heating oil for homes will go into effect starting next summer, giving residents of Seattle less than a year to make costly adjustments or risk paying even more in taxes.  Continue reading “Seattle’s new home oil tax could penalize elderly, middle-class families”

Superior Court Judge Anita Farris struck down Seattle’s gun storage ordinance Monday, ruling it violates the state’s 36-year-old preemption law.

Preemption laws exist in various states around the union. They forbid cities and other localities from passing gun controls that exceed those which exist at the state level. Continue reading “Superior Court Judge Strikes Down Seattle Gun Storage Ordinance”
