Fears of a bomb outside Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s Los Angeles home turned out to be a waste — literally.

A box of gift-wrapped horse manure was to blame for a bomb scare in a driveway near Mnuchin’s Bel Air, California, home Saturday evening, according to Los Angeles ABC station KABC.   Continue reading “Gift-wrapped horse manure prompts bomb scare at US treasury secretary’s LA home”

Maybe the reason why the cops aren’t following through on these rape kits is because some of the over 800 rapists they have in that city are COPS? That’s what I’d be wondering if they aren’t getting them done.

Detroit, Michigan — A team led by Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has devoted countless hours over the last 8 years to test a backlog of more than 11,300 rape kits that were found in a police storage warehouse. As a result, they have found that nearly 1,000 serial rapists assaulted multiple victims, and because of the inefficiency of Detroit Police, the rapists were never charged.   Continue reading “Prosecutors Finally Look at Neglected Rape Kits and Found Cops Let 817 Serial Rapists Walk Free”

As you will see, police are using traffic citations to help balance budgets and much more.

According to an article by Fox 6 Now,  Milwaukee law enforcement claimed that increasing traffic stops by 56% resulted in a reduction in violent crime.    Continue reading “Justice Department claims that increasing traffic stops by 56% will lower crime”

With great fanfare, the Pentagon has recently released the news that they have in fact been studying unidentified flying objects, also specifying that their study ended in 2012. They may have been lying about the study ending, but if the study did in fact end, it can be assumed that nothing interesting or credible had been found.

No conclusive evidence was disclosed, but instead these revelations amounted to more of the same descriptions of items moving through space in ways unfamiliar to those who are familiar with conventional, Earthly aerodynamics.

I’m not going to suggest that people who have seen UFOs are crazy, drink too much, and nor am I going to attribute their sightings to swamp gas, because I’ve seen some unexplainable flying phenomena myself. I would like to point out however, that just because unidentifiable flying objects are seen, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re extraterrestrial. Isn’t it possible that Earthly technology exists that the general public isn’t aware of? Continue reading “UFO”

Bearing Arms – by Tom Knighton

One of the recurring themes here at Bearing Arms is that gun laws don’t work. It’s a recurring theme because, well…they don’t. Time and time again, we see that they fail to stop criminals from hurting the innocent.

The worst of the bunch is gun registration, which we’ve seen lead to confiscation far too easily. The thing is, however, they never confiscate the guns from the criminals. They can’t because criminals don’t register their guns.   Continue reading “Want To Know Why Gun Registration Doesn’t Impact Criminals?”

Bitcoin has been on a tear this past year with the value of the cryptocurrency jumping from $8,000 to nearly $20,000. Well that run hit an abrupt end today as the price crashed as much as 23 percent on Coinbase. The price briefly dipped below $12,000 on some exchanges at around 7:30 am London time.

The drop — which wiped more than $4,000 from the value of bitcoin at one point — was the highest percentage loss of value that bitcoin has seen this year. The cryptocurrency was valued at just $998 on January 1 2017 and it soared to a record high of nearly $20,000 on some exchanges earlier this week.   Continue reading “Bitcoin and almost every other cryptocurrency crashed hard today”
