Macy’s reported Thursday fiscal second-quarter sales and earnings that topped analysts’ expectations, as shoppers responded to the department store’s steep discounts. Yet with sales still on the decline, the retailer said it will shutter 100 locations to focus on its best-performing stores.
The company’s shares shot more than 14 percent higher in early trading.

It looks as if Texas, the Justice Department, and all of the other parties, including the NAACP, involved in the challenge to the state’s voter ID law have worked out an interim settlement—and the district court judge approved the deal today after a telephonic hearing Wednesday morning. That deal is probably about the best deal Texas could expect to get given the circumstances and personalities in the case.
In Veasey v. Abbott, Texas (and the cause of election integrity) suffered a blow three weeks ago when the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that the voter ID law violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act because it supposedly had a discriminatory effect, despite the fact that there was no evidence that the ID law had diminished turnout in Texas elections.

A federal judge on Wednesday upheld a decision by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to ban ammunition originally designed for AK-47 assault rifles.
The decision by U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour in Seattle came in a lawsuit brought by a Redmond-based arms importer, P.W. Arms Inc., which obtained ATF permits to import more than 100 million rounds of the Russian-made ammunition, known as 7N6.

“It is more correct to say that Truth is God than to say God is truth. …we must speak the Truth.” ~ Gandhi on Truth (and here, pg. 20)
“One thing we have endeavoured to observe most scrupulously, namely, never to depart from the strictest facts and, in dealing with the difficult questions that have arisen during the year, we hope that we have used the utmost moderation possible under the circumstances. Our duty is very simple and plain…. Facts we would always place before our readers, whether they are palatable or not, and it is by placing them constantly before the public in their nakedness that the misunderstanding… can be removed.” ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi, Indian Opinion (1 October 1903)

WASHINGTON — Federal drug agents regularly mine Americans’ travel information to profile people who might be ferrying money for narcotics traffickers — though they almost never use what they learn to make arrests or build criminal cases.
Instead, that targeting has helped the Drug Enforcement Administration seize a small fortune in cash. Continue reading “DEA regularly mines Americans’ travel records to seize millions in cash”

Liberals and anti-Constitution residents of the U.S. don’t understand the purpose of the 14th Amendment. But the Amendment’s author was pretty clear about its purpose. The inconvenient truth is that the 14th Amendment does not and never has granted U.S. citizenship to foreigners born in the United States.
The 14th Amendment is one of the most misunderstood, and most cited amendment among all of the amendments in litigation in the United States. Its author, Senator Jacob Howard (R-MI), wrote quite clearly the purpose of the law’s scope when he introduced it: Continue reading “The 14th Amendment Does NOT Grant Citizenship to Foreigners Born in the U.S.”

The mainstream media rejoiced last week when a new jobs report revealed that the United States had added 255,000 jobs in July. Unfortunately, the jobs report wasn’t nearly as positive as everyone thought. It turns out that July’s job growth wasn’t really enough to keep up with population growth. In other words, there wasn’t any real growth at all.
And that isn’t the only sign that indicates the American economy is taking nosedive this year. Federal data released on Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows that the government agency has changed its assessment of America’s wage growth. Previously they claimed that our wages had grown 4.2% in the first quarter of 2016. Continue reading “Government Data Shows That American Wages Are Sinking Like A Rock”

Gun control proponents often paint the fight over gun rights as a battle between “gun sense” advocates and fringe elements who want dangerous people to have access the firearms. In reality, the conflict is a fundamental choice every society must make. Does it want to live in a police state or a free society?
That’s the conclusion Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble came to recently following terrorist attacks in Kenya. Continue reading “The Gun Control Battle is a Choice Between a Police State and a Free Society”

Many people know that in 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, through Executive Order 6102, confiscated gold from the people and criminalized the possession of monetary gold by “any individual, partnership, association or corporation.” But not as many people know about FDR’s Executive Order 6814, signed on August 9, 1934, that “required all persons to deliver [their silver] to the U.S. government.” Continue reading “FDR’s silver confiscation”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon standoff defendant Ryan Bundy’s confrontation with sheriff’s deputies at a Portland jail stemmed from his fear that a bullet lodged in his shoulder would be surgically removed without his consent, Ammon Bundy said in a recorded message posted to the Bundy Ranch Facebook page.
In the clip posted late Tuesday, the jailed standoff leader said he was awakened early Tuesday by pounding on his cell door. It was his brother, Ryan, saying U.S. marshals were taking him to the hospital for a surgical procedure. Continue reading “Ammon Bundy defends brother’s actions in jail scuffle”

(Reuters Health) – Drinking water supplies for more than six million Americans contain unsafe levels of industrial chemicals that have been linked to cancer and other serious health problems, a U.S. study suggests.
The chemicals – known as PFASs (for polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances) – are used in products ranging from food wrappers to clothing to nonstick cookware to fire-fighting foams. They have been linked with an increased risk of kidney and testicular cancers, hormone disruption, high cholesterol, and obesity.

Corporate ownership of 90 percent of media outlets in the United States has made the term ‘mainstream journalist’ quite the oxymoron, but the Washington Post’s newest project eliminates ‘journalist’ from the equation entirely — robots are now writing the outlet’s ‘news.’
Using artificial intelligence technology, the Washington Post is ‘employing’ software to ‘write’ hundreds of news briefs highlighting key information about the Olympic Games in Rio in real-time.
