She underwent surgery in December – and Monday she and her legal team announced she settled a lawsuit against the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.   Continue reading “Library settles transgender lawsuit, now covers transgender surgery”

Beaver, PA — For many years we, at The Free Thought Project, have published story after story of small-town police departments and officers allegedly terrorizing its residents with threats of being tasered, beatings, head-stomping, and arm breaking arrests at the hands of the very people who are sworn to protect and serve them. Unleashing attack dogs on compliant citizens is also, unfortunately, a very real part of that list.   Continue reading “Disturbing Video Shows Cops Force K9 to Maul Man for Not Getting Out of Car Fast Enough”

Just over a month after the US launched a cruise missile attack at Syria, US relations with Syria are deteriorating rapidly once more after the State Department accused the Syrian government of carrying out mass killings of thousands of prisoners and burning the bodies in a large crematorium outside the capital.

According to Reuters, Stuart Jones, the acting assistant secretary of near eastern affairs, told reporters on Monday that the State Department believes that about 50 detainees a day are being hanged at Saydnaya military prison, about 45 minutes from Damascus. Many of the bodies, it said, are then being burned in the prison’s crematorium in order to hide evidence of mass murder.     Continue reading “State Department Accuses Assad Of Covering Up Mass Killings In Syria”

Ohia.org reminds us that sharks are both scavengers and super -predators, who greatly assist in keeping the ocean’s ecosystem balanced. Sharks eat fish that are the “weakest, sick or dead,” and also “maintain prey species diversity” by keeping other predator species in check. A decline in shark populations not only threatens fishery operations, but can also indicate deeper problems within our ecosystem. This may be the case in the waters of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Francisco, where for more than seven weeks, hundreds of Leopard sharks have been found dying, or dead, as reported by the San Francisco Gate.   Continue reading “Mass die-off in the Pacific as hundreds of sharks wash up on the shores of San Francisco”

Details about tea party bias claims against the IRS could remain secret because current and former agency officials say their lives are in danger if they publicly testify about the case.

Lois Lerner and Holly Paz both have argued in recent court filings that the threat to their lives outweighs the public’s right to hear their testimony about how IRS employees in Cincinnati and Washington D.C. handled applications for tax-exempt status from tea party groups.   Continue reading “IRS execs: Our lives at risk in tea party case”

The year was 1969

… I was just out of High School working Full-Time as Day Shift Chef in a Steak House for a sweet old guy that was very good to me as an adopted son …

My ride at that time was a Suzuki 118 that I was constantly wrenching-on but it was a beautiful piece of machinery and I absolutely could NOT kill it as long as I kept 2 Cycle Oil in the tank and checked the Crankcase now and then … at 35 cents a gallon I could see and ride for miles and miles all over the East Coast for mere penny’s and I sometimes rode with friends, so we had a loose Brotherhood but of course the Sporties were always in the lead …   Continue reading “If 6 was 9”
