Hawaii Man Sues After Suffering Heart Attack During False Missile Alert
by Shifra on November 29, 2018The worker who issued the false warning “got confused” and thought it was the real thing. He has since been fired. But what about “higher-ups” who were negligent in this major snafu? But, as reported by NBC News, the suit names the state of Hawaii, Vern T. Miyagi, the former administrator of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, 10 unnamed employees of the state of Hawaii, 10 John Does and 10 Doe entities as defendants. Via WaPo. A man who suffered an apparent heart attack in the panicked moments after Hawaii sent out a false warning of an imminent ballistic missile attack last year has filed a lawsuit against the state, claiming its gross negligence is responsible for his health condition…....

Outrageous: Murderer & Manson Follower Leslie Van Houten Granted Parole
by Tammy on September 6, 2017Leno & Rosemary LaBianca Van Houten. Last year when this happened California Governor Jerry Brown overruled the parole board. I don’t care how old she is. I don’t care that she got two degrees while in prison. I don’t care that she’s helped old people. Her murders of two innocent people destroyed the future for them and forever mangled life for their family. Letting this savage walk is an insult to decent people everywhere. Via Fox 11/AP.. Leslie Van Houten, the youngest of Charles Mason’s murderous followers, has been granted parole by a California board. Van Houten, who was 19 when she killed for Manson in 1969, appeared before a parole panel for the 21st time Wednesday. Gov. Jerry Brown...

9/11 Terror Trials Halted Over Judge’s Demand for Private Boat
by Tammy on July 12, 2017The argument is the judge doesn’t want to be on the same boat with other people involved with the trials. Last time I checked one could secure a separate area while making sure they can’t be approached or hear other conversations. Or perhaps during the boat there’s a rule prohibiting all talking in general. Instead, the trials come to a halt. Our problems will get only more serious if we allow this sort of nonsense to continue. Via Free Beacon. Military trials for the 9/11 masterminds, including lead terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, have been indefinitely frozen after U.S. military officials overseeing the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base rejected demands by the case’s judge that he be provided a private speed boat...

Lois Lerner Wants Her Deposition in Tea Party Case To Be Sealed; She’s Afraid People Will Want to Kill Her
by Tammy on April 13, 2017Yeah, not kidding. The hubris of this woman is astounding. Via Washington Times. Former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lerner told a federal court this week that she faces the possibility of death threats if her role in the tax agency’s tea party targeting becomes public, and asked a judge to forever seal her upcoming deposition in a class action lawsuit brought by hundreds of groups that were targeted. Mr. Lerner and Holly Paz, another figure from the IRS’s tea party targeting, told the judge they’ve already faced “harassment and death threats” before, when the press was intently covering the tea party scandal. “Mss. Lerner and Paz have demonstrated that the public dissemination of their deposition testimony would expose them...

Chinese Warship Seizes US Navy Underwater Drone
by Tammy on December 16, 2016The Chinese stole a research “glider” from the oceanographic ship. Here, engineers inspect a littoral battlespace sensing glider aboard the USNS Pathfinder in 2010. (Navy photo) Even the Chinese know they better get as much trouble done before America gets a president on January 20th. The theft occurred in international waters in the South China sea. This would never have been done under any other US presidency. They know they can do whatever they want. For now. And keep in mind, we’re now a nation that allows a hostile regime (Iran) to kidnap our sailors without a shot being fired. Of course the Chinese know they can do as they please. Via Washington Examiner. The Chinese Navy stole a U.S....

Hillary Spent Twice As Much As Trump for Her Losing Campaign
by Tammy on December 11, 2016Typical liberal~~ spend money like it’s water for a losing, horrible end result. They think they’re so clever, and that you, well, that you are dumb enough to be bought. They were wrong. Trump, on the other hand, spent less with a better result, trusting in the citizens and accordingly in great part, new media. That’s called leadership. I say it every day: thank God we won. Via NY Post. Hillary Clinton and her supporters spent a record $1.2 billion for her losing presidential campaign — twice as much as the winner, Donald Trump, according to the latest records. The president-elect, who confounded critics during the campaign by saying there was no need to raise or spend $1 billion or...

California Suspends ‘Business Relationships’ with Wells Fargo
by Tammy on September 28, 2016Good move. There have to be repercussions for what Wells Fargo did, and I’m not talking fines which are meaningless in a case like this. This at least is a start. I don’t think anyone will actually begin to take notice until people are put in jail. But then again there is no rule of law in this country so why should we expect that to happen? Via Bloomberg. California, the nation’s largest issuer of municipal bonds, is barring Wells Fargo & Co. from underwriting state debt, from its banking transactions and in its investments after the company admitted to opening millions of bogus customer accounts. The suspension, in effect immediately, will remain in place for 12 months, State Treasurer...

Freight Train Derails on Outskirts of DC, Leaking ‘Hazardous Material’
by Tammy on May 1, 2016Thought I’d bring this up since most of the Legacy Media is only covering where Malia Obama will be going to school, and the jokes Obama told last night at the WH Correspondents Dinner. It also ruptured an underground gas line, but you know, whatever. Maybe the EPA was so happy with how they handled the Flint water crisis they’ll just implement the “lie and do nothing” approach here, too! Via Daily Mail. A train crash resulted in a hazardous substance being spilled and a gas line being ruptured in a Washington, D.C. suburb early Sunday morning, emergency officials have said. Some 14 cars tumbled off the tracks after the CSX freight train derailed near the Rhode Island Avenue Metro...

Whole Foods Suing Guy Who Accused Chain of Putting Anti-Gay Slur on Cake
by Tammy on April 19, 2016Yeah, you can totally not notice the word “Fag” until you’re out of the store and at home. Got it. It’s nice to see a company standing up for themselves in what appears to be another ‘hate crime’ hoax. Whole Foods Market is not only defending itself, but also its employees. Good for them, they deserve all our support. In this case, the hate crimer was a baker and a cake (again!) which was to have had “Love Wins” on it. Then some evil homophobic baker allegedly couldn’t help him or herself and scrawled “Fag” on it, too. (As an aside, what’s the deal with gays and cakes? I’ve been gay a long time and never got the “you better...

CDC Warns Zika Virus ‘Scarier Than We Initially Thought’
by Tammy on April 11, 2016How is it we knew that it was “scarier” than the Fed was telling us in the first place? Because our initial instinct is to be honest and not try to mislead people. Via Fox News. Top Obama administration health officials sounded a dire warning Monday about the spread of the Zika virus as the spring and summer months approach, saying the number of states where one Zika-spreading mosquito is known to live has more than doubled — a warning that comes amid a funding battle on Capitol Hill. “Everything we look at with this virus seems to be a bit scarier than we initially thought,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director at the Centers for Disease Control and...

Couple See Man Holding “Death To America” Sign; Fight Ensues
by Tammy on April 1, 2016Weird how this happens. The Blaze. After a couple spotted a man holding a sign that read “Death to America” on a curb in Middleburg, Florida, they decided to take matters into their own hands by physically beating up the man and snatching the sign away from him in a Tuesday encounter that was caught on camera. The man and woman were driving past the curb in a gray Nissan when they saw Charles Brownett standing there with his sign, which read “Death to America” on the front and “Because of Obama’s policies” on the back, according to WJAX-TV. The woman in the car allegedly shouted at Brownett, “Why don’t you leave America?” to which he responded, “Give me some...

CNBC’s Secure Password Tutorial Sent Your Password to 30 Advertisers
by Tammy on March 30, 2016Oops. Another reason to trust just Fox Business 😉 Via Boing Boing. CNBC’s Big Crunch blog put up a well-intentioned, but disastrously designed tutorial on secure password creation, which invited users to paste their passwords into a field to have them graded on how difficult it would be to guess them. Teaching users about password strength is very important for so long as we’re still using them as the first line of defense in an increasingly breach-riven Internet where attackers can use offline brute-force techniques against huge corpuses of badly secure passwords leaked by incompetent online service providers, then recycle those passwords to breach an ever-expanding cloud of services that have been wired to the Internet. For example, an attacker...

Portland Restaurant Attacked For Having British Empire Theme
by Tammy on March 25, 2016Not kidding. Once again liberal Portland dealing with the fruits of liberalism. This won’t be the first case of a hysterical leftist mob attacking a business because of perceived victimhood. This sort of leftist political agitation is exactly what’s been manifesting on the campuses. After all, if you’re going to be professional victims, you have got to find victimizers. Just like with the attacks against Chik-fil-A, this is a good opportunity for the normal people in Portland to say enough is enough, and go out of their way to defend and support this small business. Via Daily Caller. A restaurant in Portland, Oregon is being targeted by protesters who say its British Empire theme is offensive to minorities. Saffron Colonial...

Drip, Drip, Drip: Lost Emails From Clinton Server Discovered
by Tammy on March 24, 2016Lies and coverups, that’s all the Clintons understand. Via The Hill. Conservative legal watchdogs have discovered new emails from Hillary Clinton’s private email server dating back to the first days of her tenure as secretary of State. The previously undisclosed February 2009 emails between Clinton from her then-chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, raise new questions about the scope of emails from Clinton’s early days in office that were not handed over to the State Department for recordkeeping and may have been lost entirely. Clinton’s presidential campaign has previously claimed that the former top diplomat did not use her personal “clintonemail.com” account before March 2009, weeks after she was sworn in as secretary of State. But on Thursday, the watchdog group...

US Air Force Running Out of Bombs to Fight ISIS
by Tammy on December 6, 2015Proof it’s not just money that we need, but leadership as well. We’ve “dropped bombs in record numbers” and yet the enemy keeps expanding. So while the military needs new funding it won’t make a bit of difference until we get new leadership. After all, when you use two Hellfire missiles to strike *a car* it seems we our military could use a better Commander-in-Chief. Just sayin’ Via Fox News. The U.S. military says its 15-month bombing campaign on the Islamic State is depleting its munitions supply and that additional money and other support is “critical” for “the long fight.” “We’re expending munitions faster than we can replenish them,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh said Friday. “We...
