LAS VEGAS — A man and woman who killed two Las Vegas police officers in a pizza shop and a shopper in a Wal-Mart before they died in a store shootout earlier this month were heavily armed and carried ammunition including armor-piercing bullets, Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said Monday.

Jerad and Amanda Miller wore adult diapers and carried four handguns, a shotgun, water and food, Gillespie said. The couple also smashed a Wal-Mart sporting-goods display case with a baseball bat to get more ammunition as they exchanged gunfire with SWAT officers, he said.    Continue reading “Police: Cop killers heavily armed, wore diapers”

Fifteen days after the shooting deaths of two police officers and a bystander in eastern Las Vegas, Metro Police have not determined a motive for their killers, Jerad and Amanda Miller.

“It would be pure speculation on my part to say what their motive was,” Sheriff Douglas Gillespie said in a news conference this morning at Metro Headquarters.

Gillespie briefed the media and gave additional details in the deadly June 8 shootings at a CiCi’s pizza restaurant at 309 N. Nellis Blvd., and a nearby Wal-Mart at 201 N. Nellis.   Continue reading “Cop-killer declares, ‘I am in charge now,’ before fatal shootout”

Taxpayers who do not produce documents for the Internal Revenue Service will be able to offer a variety of dubious excuses under legislation introduced by Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX 36) a week after the IRS offered an incredibly dubious excuse for its failure to turn documents over to House investigators.

“The United States was founded on the belief government is subservient and accountable to the people. Taxpayers shouldn’t be expected to follow laws the Obama administration refuses to follow themselves,” said Stockman. “Taxpayers should be allowed to offer the same flimsy, obviously made-up excuses the Obama administration uses.”    Continue reading “Stockman sponsors ‘Dog Ate My Tax Return Act’”

Dozens of children have been rescued and 281 pimps have been arrested as part of a child sex trafficking sting over the past week, according to information released today from the FBI.

The 168 children, many of whom had never been reported missing, were recovered during an annual nationwide FBI crackdown, according to CBS. Dubbed Operation Cross Country VIII, it’s now in its eighth year. While arrests were made across the country, the largest number of juveniles recovered were the 18 found in the Denver area, followed by 16 in the Cleveland area.   Continue reading “FBI Rescues 168 Children From “Living Nightmare” in Nationwide Sex Trafficking Sting”

RICHMOND, Va. – A Virginia man who has fathered children with several women has agreed to get a vasectomy to reduce his prison term by up to five years in a child endangerment case that has evoked the country’s dark history of forced sterilization.

None of the charges against Jessie Lee Herald, 27, involved a sexual offense. Shenandoah County assistant prosecutor Ilona White said her chief motive in making the extraordinarily unusual offer was keeping Herald from fathering more than the seven children he has by at least six women.   Continue reading “Vasectomy will reduce man’s prison sentence”

Breitbart News commemorates a milestone in the deliberately-created humanitarian crisis on our border, as the White House finally admits that President Obama’s unilateral dismantling of immigration laws might just have been a factor in bringing a tsunami of underage illegal immigrants crashing down on our heads:

The White House admitted rumors of free entry to the United States are motivating migrants to risk the trek northward. Officials said they are pushing back against “misinformation,” noting that Vice President Biden’s trip to Guatamala to meet with the leaders of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico is part of that effort.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Residents of the city of Adak on Alaska’s Aleutian Islands evacuated the town site and gathered on a nearby hill Monday after a magnitude-8.0 earthquake prompted a tsunami warning for part of the island chain.

“We’re seeing water leave our bay, so we do have everybody up on the Bering Hill area, where our primary evacuation center is at,” City Manager Layton Lockett told The Associated Press by telephone as he gathered some last paperwork before heading out himself to join about 300 residents at the center.   Continue reading “Tsunami warning for Aleutians after 8.0 quake”

The sun was out, not a hint of a summer thunderstorm around Saturday when Sean O’Connor went out to do some yard work.

But a crash that blew his boots off and across the driveway, where they lay smoldering, made him realize he’d just been hit by lightning.

“Just as I picked up the rake, I heard a loud crashing sound,”O’Connor told WGCL TV. “A few moments later I was picking myself up off the ground. I had the taste of blood in my mouth. I noticed my leg was burning a little bit.”   Continue reading “GA Man Survives Lightning Strike That Blew His Boots Off”

The unfolding geopolitical chess game between Western oligarchs and their puppet governments featured many big moves last week, notably in the Ukraine, the Middle East and the UK. These moves have, for now, left Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, uncharacteristically on the defensive.

The game being played in the Ukraine, by what are almost certainly proxy mercenary forces working for the Rockefellers and the Federal Reserve Board crime syndicate, is now clearly a move to cut off Russian gas exports to Europe. First, the new puppet Fed government in the Ukraine refused to pay for gas, then, when the Russians cut off the gas, the pipeline sending gas to the rest of Europe was blown up.   Continue reading “Big power plays by Rothschilds, Rockellers leave Putin on the defensive and China in the middle”

BELLEVUE, WA –-(Ammoland.com)- The Second Amendment Foundation today is demanding that school officials in Connecticut’s Regional School District 14 immediately rectify the district’s blocking of websites belonging to firearms rights advocacy groups, including SAF, and is considering prompt legal action if this is not accomplished.

The situation was revealed Wednesday when a student at Nonnewaug High School discovered while researching a class project that access to such sites, and other conservative websites, was blocked while access to anti-gun-rights websites was available.   Continue reading “Pro Gun Group Demands Immediate Fix To Connecticut School District’s Website Blocking”

A short time after the worst US war defeat in the nation’s history – the Vietnam War – a growing wave of films began emerging in attempts to grapple with America’s open war wounds. Some focused on allegorical cautionary tales such as “Apocalypse Now,” an epic masterpiece showing the war in Southeast Asia as a nightmare of misguided confusion and terror, and ultimately its senseless brutality. The caricatures depicted left an indelible imprint on viewers with Robert Duvall’s perverse character proclaiming that napalm in the morning “smells like victory.” Or the decorated war hero-West Pointer renegade colonel played by Marlon Brando who saw the evil Empire war for what it was worth and jumped ship to the other side to become a hero worshipped, warrior God to the indigenous deep jungle inhabitants. Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 tour-de-force of an anti-war film became both a box office smash as well as Oscar nominated Best Picture with Coppola himself nominated as Best Director.     Continue reading “The Glories of America’s Wars: “Made in Hollywood” by the Pentagon’s Propaganda Machine”
