Tech Dirt – by Tim Cushing

Oh, the hilarity that is the phrase “criminal justice system.” Talk to any defense attorney and they’ll tell you how the deck is stacked against defendants and defense lawyers. The ideal of “innocent until proven guilty” has become little more than a disclaimer tacked onto cop-centered reality shows. Defendants are guilty until the jury is somehow tricked by the defense into handing down a “not guilty” verdict. A lot of effort goes towards dissuading defendants from even making it this far, as prosecutors will present worst-case scenarios comprised of every violation conceivable in order to get an agreement to plead guilty to a lesser charge.    Continue reading “Texas Judge Forced To Resign After Being Caught Texting Instructions To Assistant DA During Trial”

I’ve had a few inquiries about gear requirements for the Patrol Class. It seems like a good opportunity to allay some fears. Here is the LINK to my original post about the Patrol Class.

I will be sending out a detailed info packet to attendees closer to the time, as I do currently with the CRCD class. There is a basic list on the Class Schedule post HERE. Given that you have to have attended CRCD to attend Patrol you will know what I am talking about.   Continue reading “Patrol Class Gear Questions”

Free-Man’s Perspective – by Paul Rosenberg

I’m going to use a couple of passages from the Bible (the original set of moral standards for our Western civilization), followed by an examination of both Bitcoin and cartel money, to see how they hold up in comparison.

As for my use of the term “cartel money,” it’s the best short description I know for the dollars, euros, yen (and so on) that we use in our daily commerce. They are produced by secretive and monopolistic groups of private banks. That rather precisely matches the definition of cartel.   Continue reading “Is Bitcoin More Dangerous than “Cartel Money”?”

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: For those of us who take as long as we can to pay our taxes, October 15th was the extension filing date for 2012, and I dutifully was in there.  My accountant, who is almost afraid to be my accountant because he thinks he’s gonna get targeted, too, just ’cause his name’s on my return, he said, “Look, you may not know this, but you keep talking about these Obamacare fines if you don’t buy a policy.  Do you know that under the law –” and I had to go look it up.  Not that I didn’t believe him, but he just never gets political with me.  He stays over there.  (interruption)  No, no.  He’s not lib.  It’s a professional relationship.   Continue reading “Opt-Out Obamacare Penalty Can’t Be Enforced — Unless You Get a Tax Refund”

A change to the Marine Corps’ uniform hats could take the hard-nosed Leathernecks from the Halls of Montezuma to the shops of Christopher Street.

Thanks to a plan by President Obama to create a “unisex” look for the Corps, officials are on the verge of swapping out the Marines’ iconic caps – known as “covers” — with a new version that some have derided as so “girly” that they would make the French blush.   Continue reading “Obama wants Marines to wear ‘girly’ hats”
