LAKEWOOD, Wash. – City leaders gave a chilly reception to a new high-speed rail plan for Amtrak trains that starts running later this month.

The idea is to use the Sound Transit tracks that cut through the city and open them up to Amtrak trains. However, huge safety concerns remain.   Continue reading “Two weeks ago: Lakewood, WA mayor predicts deadly accidents from high-speed train service”

TACOMA, Wash. – An Amtrak train making the first-ever run along a new route hurtled off an overpass Monday near Tacoma and spilled some of its cars onto the highway below, killing at least six people authorities said.

Seventy-eight passengers and five crew members were aboard when the train derailed about 40 miles south of Seattle before 8 a.m., Amtrak said.

The mayors of seven major French cities say they have been “backed up against a wall” by an unending influx of refugees. Paris must address the strain on the areas, which are struggling to accommodate new arrivals, they wrote.

The mayors of Lille, Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Grenoble, Rennes, Toulouse and Nantes have called out the government for inaction, asking it to do more to tackle the refugee crisis. The resources at the mayors’ disposal are far from adequate to cover the needs of asylum seekers who want to stay at already-overcrowded shelters, the mayors wrote in an article to Le Monde on Saturday.   Continue reading “French cities overwhelmed by refugee flow, govt must step in urgently – mayors”

Nasrat Rahimi, deputy spokesman for the Interior Ministry, said the fighting ended when Afghan security forces shot and killed the three attackers without suffering any casualties.

Pasadena, CA — Body camera and bystander video footage have just been released prompting backlash against the Pasadena police department by residents and civil rights groups who called the police officers’ actions “reprehensible” and “inhumane.” A man’s window tint nearly got him killed by police.

The incident took place in November after police pulled 21-year-old Christopher Ballew over for the victimless “crime” of dark windows and a missing front license plate. Bellew pulled into a gas station where police followed him in and began their extortion process.  Continue reading “Cops Try to Kill Man, Break His Leg Because His Window Tint Was Too Dark”

Oklahoma City, OK – In the land of the free, playing music in public can get you arrested and extorted. A street musician has found himself in a legal battle after a judge charged him with “soliciting without a license,” stemming from an incident in which he was approached by police, and he responded by asking where he was legally allowed to play his guitar.

Ryan Dalee Strader was first hired by the Oklahoma City Arts Council in the early 2000s as a street performer. He said he typically “makes up songs on the spot about pedestrians as they were walking by.” But his red carpet welcome was jerked out from under his feet, even though his act “Ry Dalee and Evangeline” has performed all over the state.  Continue reading “Musician Arrested, Strip Searched, Thrown in Jail for Singing Without A License”

It’s not just the ultra rich, as well as a dazed and confused Bob Corker who is set to reap a $1+ million windfall from the passage of a tax bill which he opposed until just days ago, who will benefit from the passage of tax reform: according to Goldman Sachs among the biggest beneficiaries from the GOP tax cuts are, drumroll, the big banks. In an analysis from Goldman’s Richard Ramsden, the FDIC-insured hedge fund writes that based on its “preliminary analysis of the current tax bill under consideration by  Congress, our EPS estimates for our coverage would increase by 13% on average if the US statutory rate were to be reduced to the proposed 21%, all else being equal.”  Continue reading “Goldman Finds Tax Reform Will Greatly Benefit The Big Banks”
