Remember "Fast and Furious" was that colossal goat mating sponsored by .gov that allowed a vast array of firearms (including the .50 caliber found at El Chapo's cache) to fall into the hands of Mexican drug-lords and these same guns have been used to take thousands of lives, including a U.S. Border Patrol Agent. Remember too, this action was sponsored by the same sonsofbitches who desperately want to prosecute law abiding Americans for selling more than one gun a year and other firearm "sillines". This anti-American/anti-Constitutional action was just decreed as law by the self-appointed Kenyan potentate. Ironically, this executive action becomes a "made-up law" on July 4th, 2016. Resist by any means necessary!
So the IRS funneled a kickback to a law firm that backed democratic candidates. Microsoft and Congress demanded an investigation and the courts told the IRS to preserve all relevant information. The IRS turns around and deliberately erases a hard drive central to the court ordered data protection. Will anyone see jail time? Will anyone be fired? Will anyone be fined? What’s the penalty for government bureaucrats when they break the law?
Another fine example of "one law for THEE and another law for ME". Read the story HERE.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The amount of man-made heat energy absorbed by the
seas has doubled since 1997, a study released Monday showed. Scientists have long known that more than 90 percent of the heat
energy from man-made global warming goes into the world's oceans instead
of the ground. And they've seen ocean heat content rise in recent
years. But the new study, using ocean-observing data that goes back to
the British research ship Challenger in the 1870s and including
high-tech modern underwater monitors and computer models, tracked how
much man-made heat has been buried in the oceans in the past 150 years. The world's oceans absorbed approximately 150 zettajoules of energy
from 1865 to 1997, and then absorbed about another 150 in the next 18
years, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature
Climate Change.
CHICOPEE -- Police are investigating the installation of a camera discovered by patrons Sunday night in the men's room of the Pride truck stop on Burnett Road. <<<LINK
A Pride official said the chain installed the camera, which has since
been taken down, to counter "hate crimes" occurring within the men's
room at the 363 Burnett Road facility.
A truck driver discovered the dome-style camera mounted in the
ceiling not far from the toilet stalls, Greenfield lawyer Zoe Falken
said.
"My client is sitting on the toilet and he looks up and sees a camera
in the corner of the ceiling," said Falken. "This is absolutely
egregious."
Richard Hoffner, director of operations for Pride, said in a
statement issued Monday that the chain installed the camera on Friday
"in an effort to apprehend someone actively doing hate crimes on our
premises."
Hoffner said the camera was "in a common area and does not invade
anyone's privacy....Our intention is to turn this over to the police as
soon as the person re-commits the crime, then remove the camera. It is
not a live feed, it is stored in a secure location where no one has
access but our Security (Department)."
Falken said she is representing the truck driver and at least three
other patrons who were also disturbed to find the camera in the
bathroom.
The lawyer said CEO Robert Bolduc told one of her clients Sunday
night that he had the camera installed because "he was sick of the
anti-Obama graffiti that keeps appearing in his bathroom."
The men's room in question also has a shower area, Falken said,
adding there were no signs indicating that a camera was on the premises.
Michael Wilk, public information officer for the Chicopee Police
Department, said police were summoned to facility shortly before 7 p.m.
"It's still being investigated," Wilk said. "Our (detectives) took pictures of it and they are following up on it."
Wilk said Pride employees covered up the camera after patrons
complained. He said it's not clear if any images have been recovered
from the camera.
Hoffner said the publicity following the discovery of the camera
"probably stopped the hate crime problem on our premises, but
unfortunately the person may move to another public space." He said no cameras have been installed in any other Pride facility bathrooms.
"The Americans" is a famous commentary by the late Canadian broadcaster Gordon Sinclair. Originally written for a regular broadcast on CFRB radio in Toronto on June 5, 1973, it became a media and public phenomenon. It was replayed several times a day by some United States radio stations and released as a hit audio recording in several forms. Ronald Reagan credited it for giving comfort to the United States in difficult times, and it was widely rediscovered and re-disseminated as the United States faced new crises in the 2000s.
