The Cincinnati police officer who shot an 11-year-old girl with a stun gun in a Kroger shoplifting incident has successfully appealed his seven-day suspension.

An arbitrator handling the case brought by the Fraternal Order of Police, which represented Officer Kevin Brown, against the City of Cincinnati found that the policy in place during the August incident allowed officers to use a stun gun on children as young as 7. The arbitrator found Brown did not use excessive force.  Continue reading “CPD cop shot child with a stun gun at Kroger. It wasn’t excessive force, arbitrator finds”

Bitcoin evangelist John McAfee has threatened to “bury” the US government if they keep harassing him over unpaid taxes, promising to leak a huge trove of files proving corruption throughout Washington and its allies.

“I’ve collected files on corruption in governments. For the first time, I’m naming names and specifics,” McAfee warned in a string of tweets stretching back to Sunday. Vowing to release over 31 terabytes of “incriminating data” to the press if arrested or otherwise “disappeared,” he posted the names of a “corrupt CIA agent and two Bahamian officials” along with claims they’d taken bribes and been involved with drug trafficking, apparently to show he was not bluffing.  Continue reading “‘I’ll f***ing bury you!’ McAfee vows to expose corrupt US officials & CIA agents if ‘disappeared’”

A secretive men’s-only retreat hosted by an elite club that has included former U.S. presidents and business leaders will pay for security protection from a Northern California county after a majority of women on the board of supervisors on Tuesday reluctantly approved a $151,000 contract.

The three women and two men on the Sonoma County board unanimously approved the contract with the Bohemian Grove, a private campground owned by the exclusive Bohemian Club. It was the 15th consecutive year that a security contract was approved. The contract would reimburse the sheriff’s department for staff time and vehicle-related costs. Several supervisors cited the short period of time between their vote and the July 10-28 event as the reason for approving the deal.  Continue reading “Secretive Men’s-Only Bohemian Grove Retreat Gets $151K Security Contract With Sonoma County Despite Criticism”

A plan struck by President Trump between the United States and Mexico to help stem soaring levels of illegal immigration at the southern border will not impact an amnesty pipeline for unaccompanied minors and their illegal alien relatives — a tool often used by the MS-13 Gang to grow membership.

A recent deal Trump has settled with Mexican officials will allow the U.S. to return adult border crossers and the children they arrive at the southern border with to Mexico while they await their asylum and immigration proceedings.  Continue reading “U.S.-Mexico Deal Will Not Impact Amnesty Pipeline for MS-13 Gang”

As word spreads of the collapse of border enforcement, the number of migrants from Africa continues to increase.
