Washington Examiner – by Katelyn Caralle

U.S. adults have begun to turn on social media giants like Facebook and Twitter, and a majority believes that these social media platforms have done more to hurt democracy and free speech than help.

Last year, 43 percent of U.S. adults thought social media hurt society, but that increased to 57 percent in 2018, according to an Axios poll conducted through mid November.   Continue reading “Americans turning on social media, most think it hurts democracy: Poll”

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — The United States closed off northbound traffic for several hours at the busiest border crossing with Mexico to install new security barriers on Monday, a day after hundreds of Tijuana residents protested against the presence of thousands of Central American migrants.

The U.S. also closed one of two pedestrian crossings at the San Ysidro crossing in a move apparently aimed at preventing any mass rush of migrants across the border.   Continue reading “US closes busiest Mexico border crossing for several hours”

OXFORD, Miss. (CN) – Recommending they read William Faulkner to learn the “boundaries of human decency,” a federal judge on Friday admonished former Mississippi police officers accused of forcing a mentally disabled man to eat a mouthful of cinnamon days after making him box a cop.

In 2012, officers in Tutwiler, Mississippi, allegedly forced Denareus Cortez Martin, then 19, into a boxing match, and a few days later made him undergo the “cinnamon challenge,” filming and posting footage of both incidents on social media.   Continue reading “Judge Blasts Mississippi Cops for Harassing Disabled Man”

Last night, I walked across the street and introduced myself to the cop sitting in the car across from my house.

Every couple of nights for the past two weeks, I noticed a police car parking there at about 11 at night. The car would sit there for a while, then turn around in my driveway and leave. Last night, for once, I wasn’t already in my pajamas sipping on an evening Bailey’s when I noticed him pull up.   Continue reading “Local Intel: What I Learned from the Cop Staking Out My Street”

When Ed Windbigler became Elkhart’s police chief in January 2016, one of his first tasks was selecting his top command staff.

For assistant chief, his second in command, Windbigler named Todd Thayer. Less than three years before, Thayer had been demoted two ranks for making flippant comments about a fatal shooting. Witnesses reported he said a fellow officer could now check shooting a person off his “bucket list.”   Continue reading “Nearly All the Officers in Charge of an Indiana Police Department Have Been Disciplined — Including the Chief Who Keeps Promoting Them”

Dianne Feinstein is “easily one of the most evil people I ever met. She is the Dragon Lady with no f***ing heart.”   Jello Biafra formerly of the Dead Kennedys

Previously, I explained that Dianne Feinstein had traded some old railroad ties in the desert for the gold in the Chocolate Mountains of southern California as part of her Desert Wilderness Preservation bill. It should have known as “how big a kickback will I get on $100s of billions in gold?”   Continue reading “Is Feinstein’s Hubby Worth $35 Million A Mile?”

When researcher Curtis Waltman of the website Muckrock received files resulting from his Freedom of Information Act request on Antifa and white supremacist groups from the Washington State Fusion Center, he got a little more than he had bargained for: an unrelated zip file entitled “EM effects on human body.”

Within the file were three diagrams that present information on Electromagnetic weapons targeting the human body and brain. The first diagram, more specifically entitled Psycho-Electronic Weapon Effects seems to detail the potential use of such weapons, focusing on both mind control and physical discomfort.   Continue reading “US Government Accidentally Releases Electromagnetic Mind Control Documents In FOIA Request”

Dead State – by Sky Palma

During a press conference in Paradise, California this Saturday while standing amidst the devastation brought by the recent wildfires, President Trump made a point to mention that Finland, according to him, doesn’t have the same problem with wildfires because they spend “a lot of time on raking.”

“You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it’s a whole different story,” Trump said while standing alongside California Governor Jerry Brown and Governor-elect Gavin Newsom.   Continue reading “Trump to Californians devastated by wildfires: Spend more time ‘raking and cleaning and doing things’ like Finland”
