Times are stressful.  In many homes, there are unopened bills in the basket by the door.  Bank accounts are in overdraft.  Every week the charges at the grocery store are a little bit higher than the week before, and for less food.  Kids want new clothes and that latest video game, the car needs to be fixed and people’s jobs are draining the very life from them.

It is vital to take time out of the day to relax.  It rejuvenates you, improves your health, and calms your mind so that you can think more clearly. Continue reading “The Virtue of Industry”

February 1, 2013 – INDIA – Hailstones the size of boulders have rained down on villages in southern India. At least nine people were killed when the violent weather hit several villages in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

The hailstorm which lasted for almost 20 minutes, destroyed crops, houses and live stock, causing devastating financial implications for residents. It was once-in-lifetime experience for people living in seven villages in Chevella, Moinabad and Shankarpally. The hailstones started falling from the sky on Tuesday night and covered the entire villages under the snow-like blanket.

sad-teen-lockersA Massachusetts school considers tactics like electric shocks, isolation and the use of restraints fair game in working with students with disabilities. It’s time for the state to step in.

Fifty years ago, if someone was deemed “insane” they underwent all sorts of awful procedures like shock therapy and isolation. Many people lived their lives in restraints in mental facilities.

We don’t tolerate subjecting anyone to this kind of cruel therapy anymore — least of all on students with disabilities at school. Continue reading “Shut Down Shock Therapy School”

THOUSANDS of people plead guilty to crimes every year in the United States because they know that the odds of a jury’s believing their word over a police officer’s are slim to none. As a juror, whom are you likely to believe: the alleged criminal in an orange jumpsuit or two well-groomed police officers in uniforms who just swore to God they’re telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but? As one of my colleagues recently put it, “Everyone knows you have to be crazy to accuse the police of lying.”

But are police officers necessarily more trustworthy than alleged criminals? I think not. Not just because the police have a special inclination toward confabulation, but because, disturbingly, they have an incentive to lie. In this era of mass incarceration, the police shouldn’t be trusted any more than any other witness, perhaps less so. Continue reading “Why Police Lie Under Oath”

Washington, DC—Creating lists of law-abiding Americans with firearms has no benefits whatsoever.  Guns are almost never left at crime scenes and when they are learning the legal owners identity is usually meaningless because the offender is either captured or killed.

There are two U.S. Supreme Court cases that make it clear that persons precluded by law from owning firearms cannot be forced to register their guns or face prosecution when they don’t.  Registration violates their rights against self-incrimination. Continue reading “Registering Gun Owner and their Guns Like Sex Offenders is an Outrage that Must End!”

The attacks on the Second Amendment, by government, has extended to persecuting a decorated war hero and charging him with five counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon, for having completely empty 30 round AR-15 Magazines in his vehicle.

On January 6, 2013, a decorated combat veteran, Staff Sergeant Nathan Haddad, was driving through Jefferson County, New York when he was randomly pulled over at a Fourth Amendment violating warrantless vehicle checkpoint search. Haddad, who had five 30 round empty magazines in his vehicle, was arrested by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department and was charged with five separate felonies. If convicted on all counts, Haddad, could spend the majority of the rest of his life in prison. Continue reading “Death By Doctor vs. Death By Firearms”

As Margaret Thatcher observed, sooner or later socialists run out of other people’s money. But the looting won’t stop until they have stolen your last penny. Did you expect to have a secure retirement after working your whole life? Sucker:

As you may have read already, the Super Bowl is taking unprecedented so-called “security” measures this year, stepping it up with each event as we saw with the Olympics insanity and the constant militarization of anything and everything. Not only in the US, but others in the axis of evil controllers are doing the same.

It’s just the US always does it “bigger and better”.

We’re watching this “operation oppression” kick in big time so I’m getting leery about this Super Bowl event. At the least it’s going to be another humongous show of weaponized jacked up security with the public being treated like the enemy. Just that meme is brutalizing and terrorizing enough. Whatever happens or not at this event or others, they’re succeeding in conditioning the mass mind, not just the 70 million plus who will be watching this event and swallowing whatever messages are given, overt and covert.

prisonBeyond the debtors’ prisons now springing up in the United States of America, many cities are making those arrested and jailed pay for his/her own daily incarceration.  In an article published in National Law Journal by Joshua Michtom the concept of paying for one’s own incarceration is addressed [1]

His lengthy and well-referenced article brings to light the old saying of ‘three hots and a cot’ for any person who served in the U.S. Armed Forces or held prisoner.  Sadly, this saying is no longer valid.  Traditionally, what this statement has implied is that if a person were to go to join the U.S. Military or end up in jail, at bare minimum, that person would be able to obtain three hot meals and a bed to sleep in.  Throw in heat, free medical care, showers, and clothes, it might sound pretty good to a homeless person as well.  Correct?  Continue reading “The Price of Paying for One’s Own Incarceration”
