Honolulu, HI — This week, a sadistic Honolulu cop pleaded guilty to forcing a homeless man to lick a public urinal to avoid being kidnapped and thrown in a cage. What this case illustrates is the power-tripping barbarous behavior of many men and women who claim to ‘protect and serve.’

The incident unfolded earlier this year when Honolulu police officer John Rabago and another officer responded to a nuisance complaint of a homeless man in a public bathroom. When officers arrived on scene, they found the homeless man in a stall. Continue reading “Sadistic Cop Admits He Forced Homeless Man to Lick a Public Toilet to Avoid Arrest—NOT Fired”

Unless you are given to chronic anxiety or suffer from nihilistic despair, you probably haven’t spent much time contemplating the bottom of the ocean. Many people imagine the seabed to be a vast expanse of sand, but it’s a jagged and dynamic landscape with as much variation as any place onshore. Mountains surge from underwater plains, canyons slice miles deep, hot springs billow through fissures in rock, and streams of heavy brine ooze down hillsides, pooling into undersea lakes.  Continue reading “History’s Largest Mining Operation Is About to Begin”

Kentucky — On his way out of office, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin dropped a huge batch of pardons and commutations of sentences of hundreds of Kentuckians. While some of these people were rotting in jail for weed convictions or other victimless crimes, many of the pardons consisted of violent criminals and child rapists. Continue reading “KY Gov. Proudly Defends Decision to Pardon Multiple Convicted Child Rapists, Murderers”

Did you know that residents of Montgomery County, Maryland, are legally required to register their bicycles? Neither did Steve Silverman, who last June received a criminal citation for violating that requirement. In a video about that experience, Silverman, founder of Flex Your Rights, presents it as an example of how “police use ill-conceived laws to punish people who assert their rights.” While Silverman’s brush with the law was relatively mild as these things go, it does illustrate the problems posed by the myriad excuses that legislators give police for hassling people they deem insufficiently respectful.

If you filed for a cash payout from Equifax as part of the credit bureau’s settlement for its massive 2017 data breach, you’re probably not getting anywhere close to $125.

On Thursday, Dec. 19, a Georgia federal judge awarded $77.5 million to the attorneys representing the class of consumers against Equifax. That’s over 20% of the roughly $380 million settlement fund Equifax agreed to set up to directly help consumers affected by the breach, according to the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute, which house the Center for Class Action Fairness and opposed the high fee award.  Continue reading “If you made a claim for $125 from Equifax, you’re not getting it after court awards nearly $80 million to attorneys”

In 2014, the Jewish Daily Forward reported that the Department of Homeland Security allocated to Jewish institutions $12 million, or 94 percent, of $13 million in funds for securing nonprofits. The $13 million disbursed last week brings to $151 million the amount disbursed since the program started in 2005, most of it to Jewish institutions.  Continue reading “Are US Taxpayers Subsidizing Synagogues?”

Washington — The US Securities and Exchange Commission agreed by a 3-2 vote to release a new proposal requiring multinational oil and gas companies to disclose payments made to foreign governments.

The rule, initially mandated by Section 1504 of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, has been twice adopted by the SEC, overturned by a federal court, and rolled back by Congress and President Donald Trump.  Continue reading “US SEC proposes new oil, natural gas disclosure rules with new exceptions”

Let’s get right to the answer which is —– NO! Ascorbic acid is not Vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is ascorbic acid, which is a fraction of the biologically utilizable Vitamin C complex.

The misunderstanding is due to the government because they decided that you rate any Vitamin C according to the amount of ascorbic acid that it contains. Ascorbic acid is really the anti-oxidant fraction of vitamin C, or in other words, it is the preservative part of the C complex.  Continue reading “Vitamin C: Is It Really Just Ascorbic Acid?”

HD, a patriot here at the Trenches, asked me a question recently and he deserves an answer, because it involves something that affects us all, right in the stomach. It involves reaching into your pantry and grabbing that can of soup, or that can of roast beef hash or that can of cream corn among other things. That pantry is becoming harder to stock, and it’s because we are being played like fools.  Continue reading “What The Freighk?”

There is a battle going on for the future of American business. On one side are a handful of giant corporations that dominate their industries. On the other are the smaller companies they compete against, buy from, or sell to, and the workers they hire. And what you need to know is that under President Donald Trump, the Justice Department is routinely weighing in on the side of the corporate giants.  Continue reading “From Hollywood to Silicon Valley, the Justice Department is backing corporate giants”

This is for real… there are now mountains of data, all being IGNORED, that says fetal ultrasound is damaging babies. Fetal heart doppler is just as bad. Thing is (this will shock you): THERE IS NO DISCERNIBLE BENEFIT FOR BIRTH OUTCOMES. None. It’s a waste of time, does not improve survival, but actually lowers fetal health and birth weights. Jeanice, my guest, has spent 5 years collecting over 1550 scientific citations to prove this monstrous evil is real and taking place, while assuring Mum’s and the rest of us, it’s safe; it’s just sound waves. IT IS NOT. You have to listen to this broadcast to learn the truth but be prepared to be shocked… horrified!  Continue reading “Our Kids Are Being Killed and Damaged by Medical Technology”
