Roger Shuler’s mug shotWho What Why – by David J. Krajicek

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama–In a case troubling to free speech advocates, an Alabama journalist who blogged about allegations of a sordid affair between a powerful Republican scion and a lobbyist has been arrested and now sits in jail on contempt charges.

A judge has taken the extraordinary steps of not only sealing the file in the case, but ordering that the blogger’s posts be removed from the Internet.

Roger Shuler, 56, was arrested Oct. 23 on a warrant by deputies who were waiting when he returned to his Birmingham home from a trip to the local library.   Continue reading “Gulag Justice? Alabama Blogger Jailed In Secretive Scandal”

Before It’s News

Nothing is ever what it seems or what you are told it is… when there’s loose money around, who’s is it?

The police and the media pay informers, it goes with the territory.

But the Mob, the Drug Lords and all the other extra-legal governments running around selling sex and drugs and rock ‘n roll without borders have more money for information than any police force or news medium, one of which depends on your taxes and the other on your advertising.   Continue reading “Police as Partners in the ‘Illegal’ Drug Business”

There is no "fix" for ObamaCareHuman Events – by John Hayward

I think – well, to be forthright, I know, with actuarial certainty – that any of the various “Keep Your Plan” legislative fixes floating around Congress would kill ObamaCare.  President Obama and the rest of the Affordable Care Act con artists know it, too.  There’s a reason he told the biggest lie in modern history, over and over again.  More to the point, there’s a reason ObamaCare includes the insurance-slaying regulations and requirements Obama kept lying about.  This bill, like all socialist failure, is a massive exercise of compulsive force.  It won’t work if there’s an escape valve.   Continue reading “There is No ‘Fix’ for Obamacare”

I can’t think of a single possible thing that could go wrong with this plan. I only wish there was some way to get the Saudis, Iranians and Pakistanis involved to really improve our national security.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have obtained an internal Department of Homeland Security draft final regulation that would lift a 20 year ban on Libyans coming to the US to work in sensitive fields.   Continue reading “Obama Inc.

U.S. agencies collected and shared the personal information of thousands of Americans in an attempt to root out untrustworthy federal workers that ended up scrutinizing people who had no direct ties to the U.S. government and simply had purchased certain books.

Federal officials gathered the information from the customer records of two men who were under criminal investigation for purportedly teaching people how to pass lie detector tests. Continue reading “Big Brother is spying on what we read & which DVD’s we watch”

Drug War?   American Troops Are Protecting Afghan Opium

It is well-documented that the U.S. government has – at least at some times in some parts of the world –protected drug operations.

(Big American banks also launder money for drug cartels. See this, this, this and this. Indeed, drug dealers kept the banking system afloat during the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. And the U.S. drug money laundering is continuing to this day.)   Continue reading “U.S. Occupation Leads to All-Time High Afghan Opium Production”

Sgt. Report

If you, like I, have brainwashed, intellectually dishonest, “liberal” friends who still insist on giving Barack Obama a pass for every horrible, often criminal thing he has ever done, you might want to make them aware of this additional fact.

According to Senator Rand Paul, who spoke at a luncheon in Charleston, South Carolina on Monday, November 11, the President of the United States himself wrote the regulation to cancel the health insurance of MILLIONS of Americans. And every single Democrat voted for it.   Continue reading “Sen. Rand Paul Reveals: Barack Obama Wrote the Regulation to Cancel your Insurance, and Every Democrat Voted for It!”

CARSON CITY — Three Las Vegas siblings who saw their summer job, birthday and scholarship money taken by a bank after their parents defaulted on a loan are getting a chance to get their money back.

A three-justice panel of the Nevada Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a Clark County District Court judge erred when she did not hold a hearing on whether the $11,910 garnished by Nevada State Bank from accounts held by Haley, Tyson and Trey Brooksby was proper.   Continue reading “Las Vegas children win court skirmish over garnished savings”

The stricken nuclear plant at Fukushima in northern Japan is in such a delicate condition that a future earthquake could trigger a disaster that would decimate Japan and affect the entire West Coast of North America, a prominent scientist has warned.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must disclose its plans for a so-called Internet “kill switch,” a federal court ruled on Tuesday.

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia rejected the agency’s arguments that its protocols surrounding an Internet kill switch were exempt from public disclosure and ordered the agency to release the records in 30 days. However, the court left the door open for the agency to appeal the ruling.   Continue reading “Homeland Security must disclose ‘Internet Kill Switch,’ court rules”
