Shame is the hallmark of a lost civilization.  Mislaid ethics is the cause of tolerating generational political corruption. The vast majority of docile bottom feeders live in apathetic denial. Their bewildered love for the congenital Clinton family crime syndicate is the sure sign that America has shed all decency and honorable values. Refusal to address the overwhelming evidence of habitual offenses against all reasonable standards of morality is proof that the mentally ill Clinton supporters have forfeited any claim of being taken serious.   Continue reading “Americans Derelict for Allowing the Clinton Crime Family”

The judge in charge of military tribunals at Guantánamo Bay allegedly colluded with prosecutors to hide evidence that supported the defense of suspected 9/11 architect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, “irreparably” harming his case, according to a court document obtained by the Guardian on Tuesday.

The accusation could be the impetus to reform the highly controversial tribunals at the U.S. military prison in Cuba altogether, according to Karen Greenberg, the director of Fordham University Law School’s Center on National Security.   Continue reading “Gitmo Judge Allowed Destruction of Evidence in 9/11 Case: Report”

The government can prosecute and imprison people for crimes based on evidence obtained from their computers—even evidence retained for years that was outside the scope of an original probable-cause search warrant, a US federal appeals court has said in a 100-page opinion paired with a blistering dissent.

The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that there was no constitutional violation because the authorities acted in good faith when they initially obtained a search warrant, held on to the files for years, and built a case unrelated to the original search.   Continue reading “All your disk image are belong to us, says appeals court”

Police do not need a warrant to obtain a person’s cellphone location data held by wireless carriers, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday, dealing a setback to privacy advocates.

The full 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, voted 12-3 that the government can get the information under a decades-old legal theory that it had already been disclosed to a third party, in this case a telephone company.   Continue reading “U.S. court says no warrant needed for cellphone location data”

California Gov. Jerry Brown announced Tuesday morning that he will be voting for Hillary Clinton in the California primary on June 7 because, in his view, she is the only candidate capable of defeating Donald Trump.

While he is “deeply impressed” with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Brown said, Clinton has an “insurmountable” lead already.   Continue reading “Jerry Brown Joins #NeverTrump, Backs Hillary Clinton”

It has long been my contention that the elite are more than willing to do whatever they have to do to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.  There are many forms that this could take, and one potential option just became a little bit clearer.  On Sunday, the founder and editor of the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol, announced on Twitter that there “will be an independent candidate–an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance.”  Kristol has very, very deep ties to the Republican elite, and so this is certainly not an idle threat.  At this point we do not know who the candidate will be, but some of the names that have been mentioned include Mitt Romney, John Kasich, Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse and billionaire Mark Cuban.  Of course dividing the conservative vote would be suicidal and would virtually ensure a victory for Hillary Clinton in November.  So why would Kristol and other Republican elitists want to do this?   Continue reading “Bill Kristol Announces That ‘There Will Be An Independent Candidate’ To Sabotage Donald Trump”

The much-publicized US electromagnetic railgun is an example of the Americans aimed at dragging Russia into a new arms race, Russian senator Franz Klintsevich said. He added that Moscow will not have to respond symmetrically, despite having similar weapons in the works.

Klintsevich, first deputy chairman of Russia’s Senate committee for defense and security, has accused Washington of trying to impose a new Cold War-style arms race while saying the “supergun,” dubbed a potential game-changer by the Pentagon, is not yet an effective technological breakthrough.   Continue reading “Futuristic US railgun too expensive to use, similar projects in Russia – senator”

A leading aid group meanwhile raised alarm over the unfolding “human catastrophe” in Fallujah, where an estimated 50,000 people remain trapped, and renewed calls on warring parties to open up safe corridors for civilians to flee.   Continue reading “Heavy clashes as Iraqi forces push into IS-held Fallujah”

The director of the zoo where a 4-year-old boy fell into a moat that housed a silverback gorilla Saturday said he stands by the decision to kill the 400-pound animal.

“We stand by our decision, and we’d make the same call today,” Thane Maynard, director of the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, said at a press conference Monday. He added that people who second-guess the decision “engage in Monday-morning quarterbacking and do not understand primate biology.”   Continue reading “Zoo that killed 400-pound silverback Harambe to protect boy ‘stands by decision’”
