Now he is accused of continuing these efforts during his presidency.   Continue reading “Egypt’s trial: true justice will reveal Morsi’s alliances”

The Navy Jack is the ‘don’t tread on me’ flag, one that has earned a revered place in America’s naval history and a beloved place in sailor’s hearts, through its use for over two centuries. This symbol of America’s naval ferocity has spanned our country’s entire existence, flying from the masts of the Continental Navy during the war of independence, to today’s War on Terror. In fact, an amendment to the Navy code called SECNAV Instruction 10520.6 clearly states that as of 31 May 2002 all ships are to fly the flag throughout the duration of the War on Terror.   Continue reading “Navy SEALs ordered to remove ‘don’t tread on me’ Navy Jack from uniforms”

WASHINGTON — The union representing airport screeners for the Transportation Security Administration says Friday’s fatal shooting of an agent at Los Angeles International Airport highlights the need for armed security officers at every airport checkpoint.

“Every local airport has its own security arrangement with local police to some type of contract security force,” said J. David Cox Sr., president of the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents the screeners. “There is no standardization throughout the country. Every airport operates differently. Obviously at L.A. there were a fair number of local police officers there.”   Continue reading “TSA union calls for armed guards at every checkpoint”

Local police will increase their presence at U.S. airports, as Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International Airport reopened and air traffic returned to normal the day after a gunman killed a Transportation Security Administration officer.

Enhanced security at Los Angeles will remain for the foreseeable future, said Patrick Gannon, the airport police chief, who didn’t give details. Passengers should feel safe with the additional resources, Gannon said.   Continue reading “Airport Police Presence Boosted After Officer Killed”

Today, Denver reeks less of bureaucratic smoke and more of weed.

The mile-high municipality has decided that a recently proposed law to ban the odor of marijuana throughout the city, even in people’s backyards, may have been a little hasty.   Continue reading “Denver Amends Law: Will Allow Backyard Toking”

Voters in Sunnyvale, California will decide next week on a strict new gun control measure that has already set off both sides of the debate on gun laws in the United States.

The ballot initiative, known as Measure C, would affect gun possession and ammunition sales. Gun owners would have to report firearm theft to the police within 48 hours, lock up guns at home, get rid of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and provide a thumbprint when purchasing ammo. Gun dealers would also have to keep records of ammunition sales, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.   Continue reading “All Gun Owners Must Provide Thumbprint If California Town Passes Measure”

What is truth? Not a simple question. Is it as you feel it to be? (Subjective truth). Is it based on what you perceive to be facts, uninfluenced by your feelings? (Objective truth). Is it only what your five senses confirm to be real? (Empirical truth). Even within these three very basic concepts of truth, there rests a plethora of subtleties upon the definition of truth – correspondence, coherence, constructivist, consensus, and many more. It is within these subtleties we find a foundational dichotomy between the ‘truth’ of MSM and the ‘truth’ of the alternative press (Alt. P).    Continue reading “The Dichotomy of Mainstream Media vs. the Alternative Media”

An Arizona Highway Patrol officer stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name. ‘Fred,’ he replies.

‘Fr…ed what?’ the officer asks.

‘Just Fred,’ the man responds.

The officer is in a good mood, thinks he might just give the biker a break, and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name.   Continue reading “I am just Fred”

One British man recently learned a hard life lesson while drooling over photos of a model in lingerie online: fantasize all you want, but never comment about how you’d totally leave your wife for a one-night stand with the woman in the photos.

That’s what happened Tuesday, when a Manchester man named Tom got all hot and bothered over photographs showing model and TV presenter Kelly Brook in sexy lingerie on the Daily Mail’s website, including this photo:   Continue reading “Lingerie Photos Land Drooling Husband In Hot Water”

Shannon Renee McNeal was torn from her screaming children by police who were seeking a woman with a similar name — a woman who they should have known had been murdered seven months before.  A clerical mistake set up the arrest, sloppy attention to fingerprints put her behind bars and months of indifference to the error cost McNeal her home, $15,000 and, for a while, her job driving a Metro bus.

Yet she may be luckier than scores of others who have been wrongfully arrested and spent weeks, even months, trapped behind bars in a broken St. Louis city justice system.   Continue reading “Jailed By Mistake – Wrongful arrests jail 100 people for over 2,000 days”
