Seattle police report 1 dead, 1 injured after shooting to CHOP fatal shooting seen on bodycam footage

Image
Coming soon to a city near you? That mob Trump talked about last night, and we’ve been talking about today, isn’t just an abstract notion. it’s not just social media cancel culture or even pulling down inanimate statues. There’s a body count, too. We told you yesterday about that shooting in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone. As we quoted from the blotter, “Officers attempted to locate a shooting victim but were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victims.” Well now the police have released video of what happened. Look at these lunatics. An officer in the video can be heard saying through a bullhorn: “Please move out of the way so we can get to the victim! All we want to do is get to the victim and provide them aid!” Several protesters can be heard yelling at the officers to “put your guns down!” They can also be heard telling officers the victims had already been taken to the hospital. Officers later learned that both

Bradley/Chelsea Manning jailed for refusing to testify about WikiLeaks

The former U.S. Army intelligence analyst was originally sentenced to 35 years in prison, but her sentence was commuted by President Obama in 2017 after she spent seven years behind bars. She’s back in federal custody today for refusing to testify before a grand jury in Virginia looking into the release of documents from WikiLeaks. This judge, who apparently isn’t messing around, denied a request to confine him at home because of his ‘medical needs’, saying the US Marshals could take care of it. Here’s more: AP  – Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning has been jailed for refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating Wikileaks. U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton ordered Manning to jail Friday after a brief hearing in which Manning confirmed she has no intention of testifying. She told the judge she “will accept whatever you bring upon me.” Manning has said she objects to the secrecy of the grand jury process, and that she already revealed everything she k

the House voted in favor of allowing illegals to vote, by turning down a GOP proposal to discourage the illegal practice.

We've watched Democrats prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens for a while now. But today they took it a step further by blocking our motion to prevent illegal immigrants from voting in elections—effectively devaluing the vote of legitimate voters. Here’s more: WASHINGTON EXAMINER – House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice. The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago, when the chamber — then under GOP control — voted to decry illegal immigrant voting. “We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in,” Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and hero of the civil rights movement, told colleagues as he led opposition to the GOP measure. The 228-197 vote came as part of a broader debate on Democrats’ major legislative priority this year, HR 1, the “For the People Act,” which inclu

Whole Foods cut its workers hours after Amazon raised its minimum wage to $15.

Whole Foods said hours have stayed the same since the minimum wage increase. “Claims that Whole Foods Market is reducing hours as a result of increased wages are false. In fact, on average, our full-time store Team Members worked the same number of hours in January and February 2019 as they did during the same period last year. We are proud to have increased the hourly wage for all store Team Members, and we will continue to schedule labor hours based on individual store needs to create the best experience for our Team Members and customers,” the statement read. Amazon was initially praised after announcing the move to increase minimum wage to $15 an hour, even though it also cut stock vesting plans and bonuses for its workers. The Austin-based grocery store has been on Fortune’s 100 best companies to work for the past 20 years and has boasted one of the highest ratios of full-time and part-time employment among its competitors. However, after being purchased by Amazon, empl

Moms who want to keep their kids safe from gun violence don’t deserve this.

A group of male GOP New Hampshire lawmakers wore pearls during a hearing on gun control legislation, sparking accusations that they were being sexist. Bill sponsor Rep. Debra Altschiller calls it “incredibly disrespectful and troubling.” Is that really the smartest court of action? We need to persuade people that we’re right to be against gun control, not just simply “destroy” gun control advocates… OK, so we’ve been informed by various people in the comments that the media was LYING about this entire episode. I’m not surprised. I want to say that I really made an honest effort to try to get the “other side” of this when I read the story – I noticed that they didn’t have ANY statement from the legislators they were making assumptions about. I didn’t find a thing. So, I apologize for drawing a mistaken conclusion based on faulty reporting, but in my defense, there wasn’t much pushback out there that I could find. Here’s the issue – Republicans weren’t mocking gun contr

Nielsen testifies on border security: 'This is not a manufactured crisis, this is truly an emergency'

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen warns the House Homeland Security Committee that the growing number of illegal immigrants flowing to the southern border will overwhelm the system entirely. In the clip below, Nielsen notes the spike in apprehensions that occurred in February of 75,000 and predicts it will only get worse as we head for summer. Nielsen reports that they are projecting almost one million apprehensions this year alone: She makes abundantly clear to the House committee that  “these increases will overwhelm the system entirely”  and that  “this is not a manufactured crisis, this is truly an emergency.” I don’t have a video for this one, but here’s another fact that will give you an idea of just how bad it’s gotten at the border: Kirstjen Nielsen said this morning that a lot of people who present themselves at the border as family units are "posing as families," and DHS has uncovered "recycling rings" that reuse the same childre

United States Border Patrol really IS at a breaking point!

Media ignores surge in migrant apprehensions at the southern border; Fox News media analyst Howie Kurtz and former DHS special agent Tim Ballard weigh in. Watch: As Trump moves to declare national emergency to build wall, border crossings at record lows  RECORD LOWS! See Also:   Beto O’Rourke saying "walls do not save lives. Walls end lives" because it forces people who are illegally crossing to go to more remote places on the border. Well it turns out that’s not true at all. It might surprise you, but this counter report comes from the NY Times today: For the fourth time in five months, the number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has broken records, border enforcement authorities said Tuesday, warning that government facilities are full and agents are overwhelmed. More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, more than double the levels from the same period last year and approaching the largest nu

The 33-year-old police officer, Ronil Singh, pulled over the suspect just before 1 a.m. Wednesday and a few moments later called out “shot fired” over the radio. “Multiple agencies responded to assist, and Singh was found at the scene with gunshot wounds,” the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department, which is leading the investigation, said in a news release. Singh was taken to a hos

Dies ist ein unglaublicher Moment, als ein Seemann aus dem Ausland nach Hause zurückkehrt und seine Mutter und seine Schwester bei einem Basketballspiel der NBA überrascht. Ernsthaft, holen Sie das Taschentuch heraus, weil die Reaktion dieser Mutter einfach großartig ist: Ich habe den Titel gesehen und dachte, das kommt mir nicht zu. Ich habe mich so geirrt. Da ich dir offiziell einen offenen Faden gebe, beobachte diese Wunder-Transformation dieses Welpen. Sie werden ihn nicht einmal wiedererkennen, nachdem er sich von seinem Zustand des Todes fast erholt hat.

Amerikas ältester Veteran des Zweiten Weltkriegs ist gerade im Alter von 112 Jahren in Texas gestorben

Image
Richard Overton, der drei Jahre im Zweiten Weltkrieg gedient hat, ist im reifen Alter von 112 Jahren verstorben. Hier ist die Geschichte: BREAKING: The nation’s oldest living veteran, Richard Overton, has died in a rehab facility in Austin. RIP Mr. Overton  The nation’s oldest living veteran, Richard Overton, has died in a rehab facility in Austin, Texas. He was 112 years old . Family says Overton was admitted to the hospital last week with pneumonia. He died Thursday. Overton was born near Bastrop in 1906 and served in the army for three years during World War II . He spent the majority of his life in Austin and was often seen on the porch of his home, which he built in East Austin in 1945. He gave credit to God for his longevity, but he always said cigars and whiskey helped. “I been smoking cigars from when I was 18 years old, I’m still a smoking ‘em. 12 a day,” he said. The distinction of being the nation’s oldest veteran brought quite a few visitors to h

Hiện tại kênh truyền hình thì đa dạng (đủ loại đủ kiểu) ,nhưng đủ để chinh phục khán giải thì chỉ có vài chương trình, ở đây 9 chương trình ấn tượng nhất ở Mỹ năm 2018. Mash - A grab bag of 2018 TV spoilers lies ahead. You have been warned. We're not mad. Just disappointed.  The past twelve months of TV gave us killer comedy specials, incredible new series, and a whole lot of (positive) NOPE. Unfortunately, in the words of renowned television critic Isaac Newton, what goes up must come down. Hard. From Pete Davidson mocking a veteran on SNL to the hellscape that was the Season 2 finale of 13 Reasons Why, here are 9 of the most irresponsible TV moments of 2018—in ascending order of do better-ness.  Note: We're keeping this list in the entertainment realm — hard news obviously had its own host of issues this year. 9.
