Minot, ND – In a case of mistaken identity, SWAT officers issued a no-knock search warrant on Sunday, kicking down an innocent woman’s door and holding her at gunpoint. Instead of apologizing for their mistake, the officers insulted her and threatened to kill her dogs.
While lying in her bed on Sunday afternoon, Lynette Bintliff heard a SWAT team breaking down her door before storming her apartment with their guns aimed at her.
“Just the door got kicked open really loud and all I saw was a gun, one of those long-barreled guns. A storm of SWAT team members came running in …read more

Can #ParisClimateConference politicians fix anything, let alone the environment? #tlot Retweet

The big political event this week is the Paris climate summit, a chance for the United States to lead the way in handing over sovereignty of its local environment, in favor of imposing additional burdens on your industry and your wallet.

Much has been said about the most notorious dictatorship in the Middle East and close ally of the United States. Saudi Arabia, the number 1 beheader, carries out tasks such as bombing Yemen targets, including hospitals, and helping to stamp out rebellions for neighboring US-allied dictators. In exchange for this thuggery (and the flow of oil), the Saudis receive access to some of the best weapons in the world and guarantees of the monarchy’s continued existence in the face of massive discontent.
This resentment against Western puppets that rule Gulf nations is a contributing factor in the support for terrorism. Saudi …read more

Ooooh! Grabbing headline! Did I trick you into clicking on the link because of the way I phrased it? Honestly, I hope I didn’t. “Click bait” is the first digital plague, and I really don’t care to help it spread. But with any luck you’re more the type that just reads my daily content on the various sections of this site (and I never share more than one piece of content per day, as I really have no desire to inundate you).
And today is not a long piece at all. It’s merely a heads-up on a matter that is near …read more

On November 25, a 3-judge U.S. District Court declined to postpone the North Carolina primary election, which will be held March 15, 2016. The postponement of the primary had been requested by the plaintiffs in Covington v State. They argue that the legislative districts are invalid.

Here is the decision. …read more

Boston, MA — A violent cop, who beat an innocent man in front of fellow officers, and then charged him with assault, pleaded guilty to battery last week, but only after video of the incident surfaced.

When multiple officers showed up at the victim’s location, he is dragged from the doorway, and the supervisor on the scene told his …read more

There are businesses that I like seeing shutter their doors (I would love it if Alphabet/Google shut down indefinitely), and then there are businesses that I really want to succeed. I’m going to talk about the latter here. Whiteout.io is a suggestion I’ve made on my own tech podcast–Sovryn Tech–if you were looking for a really easy-to-use PGP email encryption solution. It allowed you to encrypt the email address you already had by very simply creating a PGP key pair for you, and eventually they even became their own email hosting service where you could have your own “yourname@whiteout.io” address. …read more
