The 140,000 inmates in Texas state prisons are reportedly denied access to some 15,000 books banned by the authorities – but it seem convicts can still easily get hold of a copy of Adolf Hitler’s racist diatribe ‘Mein Kampf’.

As the US holds its annual ‘Banned Books Week’ campaign – an event celebrating the freedom to read – attention has been drawn to the list of the books that Texas authorities have banned in state prisons. Paul Wright, executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center and editor of Prison Legal News, told the Guardian that about 15,000 books were banned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDJC).   Continue reading “Prison paradox: Texas jail authorities ban 15,000 books… but allow Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’”

ATLANTA (AP) — Federal regulators and hotel employees are calling for new safety measures after a worker was found dead inside a walk-in freezer at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in downtown Atlanta. Investigators believe Carolyn Mangham spent about 13 hours at temperatures below minus 10 Fahrenheit. Her frozen body was found after her husband called the hotel to report her missing.

Devices should be placed inside the large freezers so that anyone trapped or injured inside could send an alarm directly to hotel security or emergency services, union leaders say. Hotel employees also want to carry “panic buttons” to alert others to emergencies.   Continue reading “Hotel workers seek new safety measures after freezer death”

The House Oversight Committee is giving Platte River Networks some great free advertising lately. If you need IT services, and you really need a company whose staff can be counted on to keep their damn mouths shut, they seem to fit the bill.

At a recent hearing before the House Oversight Committee, two staffers, including the man believed to have wiped Hillary Clinton’s email archive using BleachBit, took the Fifth, and Clinton’s IT aide Bryan Pagliano didn’t even show, despite having been subpoenaed.   Continue reading “House delays contempt vote on Hillary Clinton IT aide Bryan Pagliano until after the election”

Manville, NJ — Time out, lunch detention, and in-school suspension are all forms of discipline, among others, which teachers have employed to punish students for misbehavior. But after Frank Harvey, 17, a Manville, NJ, high school senior, completed a pro-2^nd Amendment project, his school ordered him to get his head checked.

The incident began Monday after Harvey, as many students sometimes do, left his USB drive in the computer lab. Another student opened Harvey’s 11th-grade project and reported him to school officials.   Continue reading “Student Suspended, Visited by Cops, Forced Psych Eval — For Pro 2nd Amendment School Project”

…To prevent Leftist anger-in-discourse from gaining its objectives, we must meet anger with anger – and our anger must be of incomparably greater magnitude.

There’s already a perceptible movement in that direction. Whites are sick and tired for being blamed for the myriad failures of American blacks. Christians are sick and tired of being persecuted de facto for their beliefs. Men have pretty much had it with feminists and their endless shrill denunciations. And so on.   Continue reading “Fran Poretto on what must be done…”

Progressivism represents a war of total eradication against American culture. There is not a single tradition that will not be perverted into grotesquerie and then swept away. For example:

A high school in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Bethesda, Md. has eliminated the traditional roles of homecoming king and queen in favor of a completely gender-neutral “homecoming court.”

You may remember a while back there was a spate of news articles about high-level bankers and bank employees committing suicide. Conspiracy theories were coming left and right and then as suddenly as the reports started they stopped – just like that. Here is a list of more than 50 of these bankers, in date order, with a brief overview on each of them.

You probably also remember that last year, a dozen holistic doctors either died or went missing over a course of only 90 days. How oddly coincidental.   Continue reading “What a Coincidence: Bankers, Doctors, and Dozens of Scientists Have Been Dying Mysteriously”

A scathing new study has put artificial sweeteners under the spotlight and is supporting what health writers have been saying for years.

The researchers have found that most of the previous studies into the sweeteners touting their alleged “health advantages” over using sugar as a sweetener, were written or sponsored by the companies that produce the products.   Continue reading “Here’s How Industry-Funded “Research” Is Making Us Sick and Fat”

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 28 (Reuters) – The chief executive of North Dakota’s largest oil producer, Whiting Petroleum Corp , says the standoff over the $3.7 billion Dakota Access pipeline could be solved by giving economic opportunities, including supply and delivery contracts, to the Standing Rock Sioux and other Native Americans.

Thousands of protesters from all over the world have joined with the Sioux to oppose the pipeline, which would transport oil within half a mile of tribal land in North Dakota. Federal regulators temporarily blocked construction of the pipeline earlier this month under the Missouri River, mollifying opponents but irking the fossil fuel industry.   Continue reading “Tribal service deals could help Dakota pipeline impasse -Whiting CEO”
