Ted Snider comes back for an update on the recent round of "peace deals" conducted by President Trump over the last few weeks. Now Bahrain has joined the normalization agreement between the U.S., Israel and the UAE, a move that Trump and his allies are hailing as unprecedented, but which Snider believes is a great deal of fanfare with very little substance. For one thing, he reminds us that these countries can't declare peace, since they were not at war; they've already been at peace for decades. These deals amount to a public announcement of policies that in practice have been in place for...
Rat Bastard H.R. McMaster: Trump ‘in effect is partnering with the Taliban against the Afghan government’
Can you believe the garbage still coming from this loser?: “Well I think what he did with this new policy is he in effect is partnering with the Taliban against, in many ways, the Afghan government.” McMaster said. “So I think that it’s an unwise policy, and I think what we require in Afghanistan is a sustained commitment to help the Afghan government and help the Afghan security forces to continue to bear the brunt of this fight,” he added. I guess H.R. thinks we don't know that he helped lose the war in Afghanistan a decade ago as disgraced Gen. David Petraeus's "anti-corruption czar."...
Your Security Force: Just a Bunch of Terrorists
Here they try to steal a senile old woman's home over what they claim is a property tax bill of six cents. The mayor says it's the computer's fault and no human man is responsible. You can't hot tar and feather a computer. A mayor however...
Rep. Pat McGeehan: Constitution Day, First Principles
Judge Megan Shanahan Suffers From Severe Mental Illness and Must Be Removed From the Court
Have you ever heard of such madness in your life?: Judge Upholds Pseudonymity of Cincinnati Police Officer Who Is Suing His Critics for Libel I wrote about the case (in which news outlets, the defendants, and I are opposing pseudonymity) a few weeks ago here. Yesterday, WKRC (James Pilcher) wrote about the latest hearing, in which Judge Megan Shanahan has ruled that the case can continue to proceed pseudonymously: Shanahan said the officer faces danger in the current climate for the reason in keeping his name out of the court record. She listed off several examples of other attacks on police...
Cop Kills Lady
He might even go to jail for it. The lady was asleep. He was trying to murder her dog, but murdered her instead. He's been charged with criminally negligent homicide.
9/15/20 Kevin Gosztola: Day Six of the Assange Extradition Hearing
Kevin Gosztola is back for an update on Julian Assange's extradition hearing. He describes the great line-up of witnesses being summoned by Assange's defense team and how easily, for the most part, they've been able to dismantle the arguments from the prosecution. It's unclear, however, how effective any kind of reasoned argument about the facts will be, given that we know this whole hearing has been conducted on political grounds from the beginning. The case the U.S. government wants to bring against Assange is based on the conspiracy theory that he deliberately directed Chelsea Manning to...
85% — EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT (!!) of People Busted For Pot in D.C. Are Black
Thank God the cops are here to protect us from the riots they caused by constantly treating human beings like garbage. Although marijuana arrests have declined by more than half, African Americans still account for just under 90 percent of those arrested on all pot-related charges, according to a Washington Post analysis, even as they make up 45 percent of the city’s population. And while studies show that marijuana use is equally prevalent among Blacks and Whites, 84 percent of more than 900 people arrested for public consumption in the nation’s capital were African American in the four...
