When the bullet hits the bone

Or the rubber hits the road : Virginia attempting to pass legislation banning all gun ranges not owned by the state. These rat bastards are going to force this into a shooting war.

“Virginia is trying to pull yet another move threatening the rights of law abiding gun owners.

They want to shut down every gun range in the state that isn’t owned by the government.

According to House Bill 567, any indoor shooting range would be prohibited by law – UNLESS it was inside of a building owned or leased by the state.

And any business owners who decided to defy the law could be facing up to a $100,000 fine and potential additional civil penalties.”

“According to the bill, which has not yet been voted on or approved, would prohibit” the operation of an indoor shooting range, defined in the bill, in any building not owned or leased by the Commonwealth or federal government.”

For those that would be staying open, the state appears to want them to act as a data collecting operation, creating a state-controlled list of who is using the range as well as their photo ID and home address.

Let’s be clear. This is a very real threat against the rights laid out in the Constitution. Americans have the right to defend themselves. And the state is literally trying to stop gun owners from training and improving their skills.

This is an attack on our liberties.”

Thinking too much could cause you to die sooner

NEW YORK – Thinking too much may be bad for your health according to a study that was recently published.

Researchers examined the brains of several deceased people found they contained different levels of a protein called “rest.”

Health officials say the protein assists with brain activity.

The brain tissue from people who died in their hundreds had more of the protein than those who died in their 60s and 70s.

The study’s authors say it shows how people with signs of high mental activity didn’t live as long as those who limited theirs.

State Department Concludes Clinton Email Review, Says It Found Nearly 600 Security Violations; 38 people cited

” You gonna need a bigger jail”

State Department investigators probing Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state discovered nearly 600 security incidents that violated agency policy, according to a report the Daily Caller News Foundation obtained.

The investigation, conducted by the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, found 38 individuals were culpable for 91 security violations. Another 497 violations were found, but no individuals were found culpable in those incidents.

The investigation concluded Sept. 6, and the report was issued Sept. 13.

The investigation sought to determine if the exchange of emails on Clinton’s server “represented failure to properly safeguard classified information” and whether any individuals at State were culpable for any of the failures.

Meanwhile, in the Congo…

“The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has reported 203,179 cases of measles from all 26 provinces of the country, including 4,096 deaths.

UNICEF says children under the age of five represent 74 percent of infections and nearly 90 per cent of deaths.

The number of measles cases in DRC this year is more than triple the number recorded for all of 2018. The measles outbreak in DRC has become a far deadlier than Ebola, which to date, has taken 2,143 lives.”

Prison guards who were supposed to be checking on Jeffrey Epstein were ‘ASLEEP and faked log entries’

“Corrections officers at a New York prison where Jeffrey Epstein was being held are accused of falling asleep on the job and falsifying logs to make it appear as if they checked on the billionaire pedophile on the night of his apparent suicide.

The Metropolitan Correctional Center’s two guards claimed to have checked on Epstein every 30 minutes, but had actually been asleep for up to the three hours, officials familiar with the ongoing probe told The New York Times.

Epstein is believed to have killed himself early Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, where he was awaiting trial in a sex trafficking case.”

China’s social credit system shows its teeth, banning millions from taking flights, trains

Here it comes; be ready to kiss of a hundred million or so Chinese. Govts. are dangerous things and I think we all know what happens when they start acting like this.

Millions of Chinese individuals and businesses have been labelled as untrustworthy on an official blacklist banning them from any number of activities, including accessing financial markets or travelling by air or train, as the use of the government’s social credit system accelerates.

The annual blacklist is part of a broader effort to boost “trustworthiness” in Chinese society and is an extension of China’s social credit system, which is expected to give each of its 1.4 billion citizens a personal score.

The social credit system assigns both positive and negative scores for individual or corporate behaviour in an attempt to pressure citizens into behaving.

Human rights advocates, though, worry that the arbitrary system does not take into account individual circumstances and so often unfairly labels individuals and firms as untrustworthy.

Over 3.59 million Chinese enterprises were added to the official creditworthiness blacklist last year, banning them from a series of activities, including bidding on projects, accessing security markets, taking part in land auctions and issuing corporate bonds, according to the 2018 annual report released by the National Public Credit Information Centre.

Apple Gives Deep State Access To Roger Stone’s iCloud Account, After Refusing To Violate Privacy of San Bernardino Terrorists

Three years after Apple refused to give the federal government access to the devices used by the San Bernadino terrorists who killed and injured dozens in a mass shooting event, the company has given the office of the Special Counsel complete access to Trump advisor Roger Stone’s iCloud account, reports Apple Insider.

According to the Washington Post, Apple objected to giving the federal government backdoor access to the shooters iPhones, claiming it would “set a dangerous precedent.”

“From the beginning, we objected to the FBI’s demand that Apple build a backdoor into the iPhone because we believed it was wrong and would set a dangerous precedent. As a result of the government’s dismissal, neither of these occurred. This case should never have been brought.”

Fast forward to present, and we see that Apple no longer seems to have the same privacy concerns it once did in 2015. Without any fight, they simply turned over Roger Stone’s iCloud passwords and God knows what else, because Orange Man Bad. The fact that Apple views a political persecution less of a hill to die on than protecting the rights of terrorists who killed and maimed dozens of Americans is quite telling.

Family Dollar shopper shoots,kills armed robber

(FOX 5 Atlanta) – An armed robbery at a DeKalb County store Tuesday morning could have gone the wrong way if not for an armed customer, police say.

It happened at a Family Dollar store in the 7000 block of Covington Highway. At least three customers and two employees were inside at the time.

According to police, a customer at the store shot and killed a robber during a hold-up.

“I’m glad that the Good Samaritan was there to save that person’s life who was just at work making an honest dollar,” said Conrad Fagan, who was in the area at the time of the attempted robbery.

A DeKalb County Police investigator told reporters the armed customer could be seen on camera shopping not far from the register when he noticed a man trying to rob the cashier at the register.

“He didn’t do anything wrong. He stopped a robbery in progress and did what he had to do,” said Sgt. Lynn Schuler, who described the customer as a Good Samaritan.

Police will not charge the customer, whose name has not been released. Although other customers were inside at the time, no one else was hurt when the customer opened fire. Folks who patronize the Family Dollar say they’re grateful he was brave enough and able to intervene.

Welcome to Florida : Church van from La. in collision with 2 Semi trucks, 7 people perish in the flames

This is about 50 miles North of my location. Condolences to all involved.

“Two big rigs and two passenger vehicles collided and spilled diesel fuel across a Florida highway Thursday, sparking a massive fire that killed seven people, authorities said.

The wreck happened on Interstate 75 about a mile south of Alachua, near Gainesville. The flames were fed by about 50 gallons of diesel, authorities said.

Eight other people were taken to the hospital, some with critical injuries, the Gainesville Sun reported.

The crash involved a church van from Louisiana that was headed to Orlando, Spectrum News reported.

Emergency crews extinguished the fire and said they were treating the crash as a homicide investigation. The fire was so intense that authorities said it damaged parts of the road.

A spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol told The Associated Press in a phone interview that their top priorities were to conduct a thorough investigation and to identify the deceased victims.

“There’s going to be families that need to be notified that their loves ones have perished,” Lt. P.V. Riordan said.

It’s unclear whether the victims were killed in the wreck or whether they burned in the fire, which would make identification more difficult, he said.

The aftermath closed part of the highway in both directions, causing massive delays.”

Dipshits rob the wrong store: Get shot all to hell at pharmacy

“A clerk foiled a robbery Tuesday afternoon at Smithgall’s Pharmacy in Lancaster city by shooting one of two alleged robbers, hitting the man several times, police said.

The other alleged robber, who was wearing a black mask and black clothing, fled the West Lemon Street pharmacy and remained at large at last report Tuesday.

“They came to the store on a mission,” police Chief Jarrad Berkihiser said of the suspects.”

Medics rushed the wounded man to Lancaster General Hospital, where police said he was in surgery late Tuesday afternoon. As the suspect was being carried on a stretcher, he was yelling as if he were in pain, a witness said.

Shortly afterwards, former Mayor Charlie Smithgall, the pharmacy’s owner, walked out of his business at 536 W. Lemon St. with what appeared to be blood on his shirt. He gave a wave to onlookers, sat on a stretcher, made a phone call and was taken to a hospital. Police said Smithgall was not shot.

Police would not immediately say whether it was Smithgall or one of his employees who shot the suspect.

Police said both suspects fled the pharmacy. Officers found the wounded man on the ground along Pine Street.

Police recovered a handgun they believe was carried by one of the suspects.”

Britain returns to the dark ages : BBC decides which science is right, refuses interviews of “Climate deniers”

• 
• BBC issued a formal guidance telling reporters not to include global warming “deniers” in news coverage
• BBC has been trying to crack down on climate coverage since at least 2014
• Skeptics have criticized BBC, saying its actions are meant to silence debate

The BBC has renewed its crackdown on reporters interviewing skeptics in TV, radio and print coverage of man-made global warming.

BBC’s director of news and current affairs, Fran Unsworth, sent an email Thursday telling BBC journalists there’s no need to include “deniers” in global warming coverage. This is the first time BBC has sent formal guidance on global warming, reported the website Carbon Brief.

Unsworth’s email linked to a “crib sheet” that included BBC’s “position” on global warming coverage, according to Carbon Brief. BBC also asked journalists to take a one-hour “training course on reporting climate change.”

BBC told reporters not to include a “denier” in coverage of global warming in “the same way you would not have someone denying that Manchester United won 2-0 last Saturday.” The BBC’s crib sheet says: “The referee has spoken.”

This may be the first formal guidance on climate coverage, but it’s not BBC’s first attempt to train reporters against allowing “false balance” such in coverage.

Let’s do this thing

Trump official John Bolton declares International Criminal Court ‘dangerous’ and ‘dead to’ America

“The court, established in 2002 in The Hague in the Netherlands, has the power to prosecute individuals for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The US never ratified the Rome Statute that established the court and George W Bush, in the early days of the still-ongoing war in Afghanistan, never ratified it.

Russian officials to meet with John Bolton next week, says Kremlin

The court is getting ready to investigate detainee abuse in Afghanistan, an investigation Mr Bolton called “utterly unfounded”, adding: ”We will provide no cooperation to the ICC.”

The former US Ambassador to the United Nations under Mr Bush, went on to say the “central aim of [the ICC’s] most vigorous supporters was to constrain the US”.

Mr Bolton said the court’s statute had “glaring, significant flaws” and ”constituted an assault on the constitutional rights of the American people and the sovereignty of the US”.

Mr Bolton, following a trend in the Trump administration of criticising multilateralism, branded the ICC as a “freewheeling global organisation governing over individuals without their consent”.

He claimed American “soldiers, politicians, and private citizens” are at risk because the court assumes the automatic right to prosecute over everyone, even in countries which did not ratify the Rome Statute establishing the court.  ”

Israel, Sudan, Russia, and the US under Mr Bush, are four signatories of the statute who renounced their signatures and informed the UN they would no longer be subject to the legal obligations under the statute.

Mr Bolton said the US’ “unsigning” of the Rome Statute was meant to protect Americans from the “unacceptable overreach” of the court.

He cited the 2002 American Service-members Protection Act, “which some have dubbed the Hague invasion act” Mr Bolton said and also prosecution within South Africa following the abolishment of apartheid as examples of why the court was “superfluous”.

The act authorised the US president to use all means, “including force”, to shield US military members from prosecution by the ICC, he noted.

The Trump aide said US courts and the military justice system already hold all Americans to “the highest legal and ethical standards”.

Portland Police revoke permit, declare riot as protesters clash downtown

“Portland Police declared a riot Saturday after tensions between the right-wing Patriot Prayer group and local anti-fascist activists came to a head and broke out in violence.

The afternoon began with a permitted rally at Terry Schrunk Federal Plaza organized by Joey Gibson, U.S. Senate candidate for Washington and leader of the right-wing, Vancouver-based group.

A counter-demonstration by masked local anti-fascist groups gathered nearby among a heavy police presence. Officers seized weapons such as utility knives, clubs and chemical sprays, detaining several protesters early on”

“Things turned ugly shortly after 6 p.m., when Patriot Prayer protesters spilled into Third Avenue to begin their permitted march through the streets of Portland.

Antifascist counter-demonstrators immediately began lobbing eggs, half-empty water bottles and firecrackers at the conservative marchers, prompting federal police to fire paintballs filled with pepper spray into the crowd.

Portland police said four people were struck by the projectiles and had to be taken to the hospital. An officer was also struck and taken to the hospital.

The two groups continued heckling each other even as police intervened.

The bureau declared a riot and revoked the march permit soon after police said they witnessed several instances of assault and other criminal activity.”

Mexico’s leftist Lopez Obrador wins largest landslide in country’s recent history

Veteran Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has been elected president of Mexico, winning the largest landslide in his country’s recent history in a remarkable routing of what he terms “the mafia of power”.

Promising to combat corruption and drive down record crime rates, Mr Lopez Obrador captured 53 per cent of the vote, according to preliminary results – a historic victory for the party he created.

Voters decided in their millions to turn their backs on the two parties which have ruled Mexico for almost 100 years, and finally give him a chance – sending his supporters into a frenzy.

Local business owner trying to hire hit man to kill HPD officer , hires undercover cop

Of course he did. Dumb shit, all hit men are undercover cops

After that it was just all fun and games for the cops; staging a murder, taking payola

What a dip shit you are Mohammed

“HOUSTON – A man was arrested after he tried to hire a hit man to kill a Houston police officer, officials said.

The sources spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity.

According to one of the sources, the target was a patrol officer stationed on the east side.

The suspect was identified by police as Mohammed Mohamed, 47.

Investigators were alerted in May and early June of someone shopping for a hit man.

Houston police Chief Art Acevedo said Mohamed, who owned a shipping business, Overseas Cargo, in east Houston, wanted the officer killed because he believed the officer was interfering with his business operations.”

“Acevedo said Mohamed was given several penalties and tickets by the officer for too many vehicles parked on his property. He was fined for city ordinance violations in the neighborhood of $2,000.

Police said Mohamed wanted the officer to be “disabled” by paying someone to throw acid in his face, but due to Mohamed receiving more tickets, he wanted the officer dead.

Acevedo said Mohamed met with someone he thought was a hit man, but who actually was an undercover police officer, covering his face with a baseball cap and bandana. Police said Mohamed covered his face because he did not want to be extorted by the hit man.

Acevedo said Mohamed made many statements to kill the officer and agreed to pay the hit man $2,000 in cash to get the job done. Acevedo said Mohamed told the undercover cop that he did not want to meet with him to pay the deposit until Ramadan was over.

Police said Mohamed met with the undercover cop and paid him $500 in cash and the $1,500 balance would be paid on the execution of the hit.

Investigators staged the officer’s death, took pictures of the officer looking like he was “dead” and staged it to look like a robbery. Acevedo said the officer was not in uniform when the murder was staged.”

Venezuela’s inflation at 24,571%

“Caracas (AFP) – Venezuela’s sky-high inflation soared to 24,571 percent in the past 12 months, lawmakers said Monday.

President Nicolas Maduro’s socialist government controls most of the country’s economy and is in the midst of an ever-deepening crisis with food and medicine in short supply.

Analysts blame what they call mismanagement of a state-led economy. That includes its control over hard currency, as well as low oil prices. Venezuela depends on crude oil for its earnings.

The government blames US sanctions and businessmen speculating on the problems.

The latest figure comes from a National Assembly finance committee report looking at the period May 2017 to May 2018.

Meanwhile, the consumer price index in May surged 110.1 percent. It was the first time the index topped 100 percent in one month.

The International Monetary Fund has forecast that Venezuela’s hyperinflation will top 13,800 percent this year. Some lawmakers say that it could be worse: at least 100,000 percent and possibly 300,000 percent.”
