A New York State Assemblyman is warning against a bill that will make college courses available for inmates again, saying such rehabilitation efforts will lead to a “Breaking Bad” situation.

Jim Tedisco, an upstate Republican, issued a statement Tuesday with several references to the popular television series, in which a chemist-turned-teacher teams up with a high school dropout in the meth business.   Continue reading “GOP Lawmaker Warns Educating Prisoners Could Lead To A ‘Breaking Bad’ Situation”

U.S. Drought Monitor California February 11 2014The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

Did you know that the U.S. state that produces the most vegetables is going through the worst drought it has ever experienced and that the size of the total U.S. cattle herd is now the smallest that it has been since 1951?  Just the other day, a CBS News article boldly declared that “food prices soar as incomes stand still“, but the truth is that this is only just the beginning.  If the drought that has been devastating farmers and ranchers out west continues, we are going to see prices for meat, fruits and vegetables soar into the stratosphere.  Already, the federal government has declared portions of 11 states to be “disaster areas”, and California farmers are going to leave half a million acres sitting idle this year because of the extremely dry conditions.  Sadly, experts are telling us that things are probably going to get worse before they get better (if they ever do).  As you will read about below, one expert recently told National Geographic that throughout history it has been quite common for that region of North America to experience severe droughts that last for decades.  In fact, one drought actually lasted for about 200 years.  So there is the possibility that the drought that has begun in the state of California may not end during your entire lifetime.   Continue reading “15 Reasons Why Your Food Bill Is Going To Start SOARING”

You don’t want to mess with this mom!

A Detroit woman surprised a trio of armed teen thugs when they came to try and rob her house.

“[New Jersey has] subordinated the People’s right to keep and bear arms to the state’s alleged interest in promoting public safety.  It is not, however, within the authority of courts to override the Constitution as ratified by the People.” — Gun Owners of America’s legal brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in Drake v. Jerejian, February 12, 2014

TOLUCA, Mexico — They were once dubbed the Three Amigos, but strains on their friendship cast a chill Wednesday as President Barack Obama flew to Mexico for a summit of the leaders of the world’s largest trading bloc.

A bilateral spat between Mexico and Canada, and anger in Ottawa over U.S. indecision on whether to build the Keystone XL pipeline from western Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast cooled the atmosphere of the seven-hour summit.   Continue reading “Obama arrives in Mexico for ‘Three Amigos’ summit that will show NAFTA strains”

The Obama Administration’s Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is poised to place government monitors in newsrooms across the country in an absurdly draconian attempt to intimidate and control the media.

Before you dismiss this assertion as utterly preposterous (we all know how that turned out when the Tea Party complained that it was being targeted by the IRS), this bombshell of an accusation comes from an actual FCC Commissioner.   Continue reading “Why is the Obama Administration Putting Government Monitors in Newsrooms?”

Ukraine crisis: EU Parliament's MP urges to impose sanctions on RussiaVoice of Russia

A member of the ruling faction in the European Parliament has come up with an initiative to impose sanctions against Russia that he said was supporting Ukraine’s regime. Russia has been in a waiting stance ever since the escalation on Tuesday, when Ukraine’s capital Kiev descended into more chaos.

This came today from Poland’s MEP Jacek Sariush-Volsky of the center-right European People’s Party at a press conference in the EU parliament.   Continue reading “Ukraine crisis: EU Parliament’s MP urges to impose sanctions on Russia”

Springfield Public Schools Superintendent Norm Ridder said in a statement that the suspect, Craig Michael Wood of Springfield, was an employee and a coach.

“Last night we learned the terrible news that one of our students had been abducted near her home,” Ridder said. “This morning, our sadness is compounded by the recent developments in the case of Hailey Owens’ abduction.”   Continue reading “School coach booked for murder in abduction of Hailey Owens”

Many people believe that they can “beat the case” if the officer doesn’t read them their Miranda rights during an arrest. This is a myth.

The only time an officer must read a person his or her Miranda rights is when: (1) the person has been placed under arrest, AND (2) the officer is about to question the person about a crime. For example, if you’re placed under arrest after consenting to a search request and confessing to ownership of found contraband, police do not need to read you your rights unless they want to question you about an unrelated crime.   Continue reading “Don’t Police have to Read me my Rights?”

Excerpted from THE BLAZE: The Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) filed for Lou Pelletier — the father of 15-year-old Justina Pelletier who is the center of a controversy and legal battle involving custody, parents’ rights and two medical diagnoses — to be held in contempt of court, a family source told TheBlaze.

When Pelletier spoke with TheBlaze this week about Justina and the controversy regarding her diagnosis that led custody to be taken away from her parents for the last year, he broke a gag order issued by a Massachusetts judge.   Continue reading “Contempt Charges Filed Against Father Of 15-Year Old Daughter Held Captive In Massachusetts Hospital”

This amazing video shows a lady running from a stampede of bunnies! After the young lady gave the bunnies some food, they didn’t want to let her out of their sight, so they followed her. This incredible video is very sweet and adorable! I cannot say I would mind have a bunny stampede following me! Known as Rabbit Island, Okunoshima was used as the secret base for the Japanese Imperial Army’s lethal gas operation during World War Two From 1929 to 1945, more than 6,000 tons of poison gas were manufactured on the remote island, and the program was shrouded in secrecy. For 16 years, Okunoshima was left off maps, and workers who produced the five types of poison gas – which were mostly used in warfare in China – were told to keep the factories a secret.   Continue reading “Attack Of The “Killer” Bunnies?

An update to the company’s legal language specifies that, “we may contact you in any manner we choose” and that such contacts can include calls, emails, texts, faxes or a “personal visit,” reports David Lazarus from the Los Angeles Times.

In addition, the visits may be at your home or place of employment. (No mention was made of fine suits and baseball bats.)   Continue reading “Credit card company: We can visit you at home”

For the past several months we have seen all sorts of political turmoil hit the Ukraine including violent protests which have left many people injured or dead.  A former member of the Soviet Union and a Russian border country, the Ukraine has become a primary target of Zionist aggression.  They have been targeted primarily due to their historical ties with Russia which under Vladimir Putin have successfully blocked a number of Zionist agendas including a potential American military strike on Syria this past year.  By destabilizing the Ukraine they hope to bring in a puppet government that will move the country away from Russian influence.  The on-going protests against the current Ukrainian government are largely being financed and controlled by the United States and Israel.  This is not part of a true popular uprising as the corporate media propagandists will have you believe.   Continue reading “American and Israeli Zionists behind Civil Unrest in Ukraine”
