Hillary Clinton is many things (some of which can be safely described in a family publication). She is a former first lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, and future (she appears to hope) President. She is also — according to a new tell-all book by a Secret Service member — foul-mouthed and ill-tempered.
The book, the Daily Mail notes (h/t Weasel Zippers), is titled “Within Arm’s Length: A Secret Service Agent’s Inside Account of Protecting the President.” Its author, Dan Emmett, worked in the Presidential Protective Division, the plum job for a Secret Serviceman, during Bill Clinton’s two terms in the White House. Emmett also served that detail for George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, which provides a point of comparison for Bill’s and Hillary’s behavior.

Vice President Joseph R. Biden told a National Association of Manufacturers’ crowd this week that what the United States needed was more, not fewer, immigrants.

U.S. politicians and political commentators were reeling Wednesday after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the most senior Jewish official in government, stunned observers by losing his seat to Tea Party challenger Dave Brat, an economics professor at a military academy, in Tuesday’s Republican primary to represent Virginia’s 7th Congressional District.
“The dream of a Jewish Republican speaker of the House is no more,” wrote Politico’s Alexander Burns. “[F]or Jewish Republicans, Cantor is a singular figure, the only Jewish member of the House majority and the lone Jewish leader in a party that has strenuously courted the community in recent presidential elections, to little avail.” Continue reading “‘Tea Party has taken control of the Republican Party’”
Google has purchased satellite start-up Skybox Imaging in it’s quest to extend their all-seeing eye into every aspect of our lives. On the surface, Google says that they plan on using the new technology as a way to keep their Google Maps up to date, but those who are aware of their military-industrial complex ties think otherwise.
Over the past few years, Google has quietly entered into a relationship with the Pentagon and DARPA to become one of their biggest contract suppliers of technology and information. Google acquired robot maker Boston Dynamics last year, and is fully invested in creating battlefield cyborgs to supply to the government. They also spent 3.2 billion to get NEST, a company that makes a Smart Thermostat and can also track your every movement inside your home. These are only but of few of their recent purchases, click above image to see more. Continue reading “Google Buys SkyBox Satellite Company To Become All Seeing Eye in the Sky”

Two days ago, Comcast did something that would be inconceivable if it was any other company than Comcast: It turned 50,000 residential Xfinity modems into public WiFi hotspots. There are 50,000 paying Xfinity customers in Houston, Texas who are now broadcasting free WiFi that anyone can use. As far as Comcast is concerned, of course, this is a genius move to blanket the country in high-speed WiFi (and there are plans to hijack millions more modems by the end of 2014) — for Comcast’s customers, though, this is egregious monopolistic overreach taken to the next level… and it’s possibly illegal as well. Continue reading “Comcast turns 50,000 paying customer homes into public hotspots, millions more by the end of the year”

The most common recommendation made by health experts in the area of produce selection is to choose “organic” varieties for maximum health benefits. We trust organic label certifications because they are supposed to comply with organic standards set by national governments and international organizations. Synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers are not allowed in organic practices, but that’s not always the case. Research by a Food Inspection Agency in Canada has found that nearly half the organic fresh fruits and vegetables tested in the past two years contained pesticide residue, violating maximum allowable limits for the presence of pesticides, the data shows.

A group of marijuana activists has filed a lawsuit claiming they should not have to pay taxes on pot in Colorado, an assertion that threatens to upend legalization in the state less than a year after it became law.
Rob Corry, a local attorney, filed the suit in a Denver District Court this week, asking a judge to order an injunction against the state and the city of Denver because the collection of marijuana-related taxes violates the right against self-incrimination guaranteed by the US Constitution. Continue reading “Colorado activists sue to halt taxes on legalized marijuana”
US law enforcement officials must convince a judge to provide a search warrant before they obtain phone location data from a cell tower, according to an appeals court ruling poised to force the police to narrow down their evidence-gathering methods.
The three-judge panel of the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Americans do have the right to expect that their private movements will not be tracked, and the mere action of driving past a cell tower with their phone in hand is not enough cause for police to violate that privacy. The judges ruled Wednesday that police who do obtain the records without a judge’s permission are violating a suspect’s rights under the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable search and seizure. Continue reading “Warrant required to obtain phone tracking data, court rules”
A coalition of immigrant advocacy organizations filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security Wednesday, claiming systemic abuse of unaccompanied immigrant children by US Customs and Border Protection.
The groups filed the complaint on behalf of 116 unaccompanied immigrant children, ranging in age from five to 17 years old, “who experienced abuse and mistreatment while in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which includes U.S. Border Patrol,” the document said, asking DHS to investigate the allegations.

Scientists have created a life-threatening virus that closely resembles the 1918 Spanish flu strain that killed an estimated 50m people in an experiment labelled as “crazy” by opponents.
US researchers said the experiments were crucial for understanding the public health risk posed by viruses currently circulating in wild birds, but critics condemned the studies as dangerous and called on funders to stop the work. Continue reading “Scientists condemn ‘crazy, dangerous’ creation of deadly airborne flu virus”

A Pennsylvania woman who was serving a two-day jail sentence for failing to pay fines accrued by her children’s truancy was found dead in her cell over the weekend, inspiring the judge who sent her there to condemn the system that mandated her sentence.
