Acting SecDef Shanahan: All Clear

Yeah, well we already knew there’s no threat from Iran against the USA.

But here Trump’s man at the Pentagon says, “I think our steps were very prudent and we’ve put on hold the potential for attacks on Americans and that is what is extremely important. I’d say we’re in a period where the threat remains high and our job is to make sure that there is no miscalculation by the Iranians.”

The FDA’s Continuing Assault on the Principles of Justice

Eddie Gray, the owner of the online pipe-smokers’ boutique The Pipe Nook, reports in his latest YouTube video that the FDA has accused him of selling to a minor but refuses to provide the evidence. This is nothing less than a direct assault on a basic principle of Anglo-American justice: innocence until guilt is proved, which means that the government — exclusively — has the burden of proof and the accused has no burden whatever to provide evidence of his innocence. One obvious aspect of this principle is that the state has an obligation to present the evidence to the accused, who may then rebut it. This is how things should work because one cannot prove a negative, namely, that one is not guilty, especially when one is given no details about the alleged offense.

When will those in Washington who love to rail against regulation finally pull the plug on the FDA, which tramples individual rights wherever it treads?

Who do they work for?

How does our presence or absence in Syria effect Israels right to defend itself?
