At Yad Vashem in Jerusalem on his visit to Israel, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto said America’s gun problem and rising anti-Semitism must be dealt with simultaneously and head on:
Four months after his city experienced the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history, in which a gunman killed 11 congregants and wounded six during Saturday prayers at the Tree of Life Synagogue, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto says city residents and the local Jewish community will not be broken, but warns a similar incident could happen again in the future.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) — A big decision in the lawsuit over confederate statues in downtown Charlottesville is likely bad news for the city.
Charlottesville Circuit Judge Richard Moore has ruled that the statues are war monuments, which are protected under state law. That likely means the city doesn’t have the legal right to take them down. Continue reading “Judges rules Confederate statues are war monuments”

If ever we needed proof of the expression that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” look no further than Britain, where families may have to start practicing cutting their steak and bread at dinner with a spoon. This is, of course, because Britain’s politicians have now made the absurdly ridiculous move to call for the banning of what Reason magazine called “the most useful tool ever invented” – the knife. Continue reading “With Gun Ban Not Working, Politicians In Britain Now Want To Ban Knives Nationwide”

Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist
Caldwell County, TX — The Free Thought Project has reported on multiple instances in which police officers invade a home and are shot in the process. Thousands of these no-knock raids take place across the country every single year, most of which are over alleged possession of substances deemed illegal by the state. But what happens when people defend their homes against these home invasions? Well, as the following case illustrates, sometimes justice can be served.

As if the past months of US push for regime change in Venezuela with officials like Elliott Abrams of Iran-Contra conviction infamy at the helm wasn’t bizarre enough, things just got weirder, as Erik Prince has apparently been pitching a plan around Washington to privatize US coup efforts using his latest Blackwater inspired mercenary empire.
According to Reuters, Prince — the brother of billionaire Education Secretary Betsy DeVos who has over the past years since selling his mired-in-controversy Blackwater group (now Academi) revived his mercenary empire in China in the form of Frontier Services Group (FSG) — intends to “deploy a private army to help topple Venezuela’s socialist president, Nicholas Maduro”.

Obeying the speed limit (or any other law) is no defense against vindictive armed government workers, as the first video which follows below shows.
The AGW who stopped this car with the threat of murderous violence – implicit in everynon-consensual interaction with an AGW – admits, openly, that the driver was notexceeding the posted speed limit – but asserts that his not exceeding it is itself “suspicious.” This assertion of “suspicion” gives him, the AGW, pretext to stop anyone he likes and subject them to an Authority Display.
