New footage has emerged showing Rhode Island police fending off drunken wedding guests who started a brawl when a bar refused them entry, with one woman attempting to grab an officer's gun in the melee. Newport Police officers were called to The Landing, a seafood restaurant on Bowen’s Wharf, around 1am on Sunday, after the unruly group demanded entry. New video shows the moment police were swarmed by the party-goers as they tried to arrest one of the men in the group, who'd punched a member of the bar's staff. That's when all hell broke loose. One of the men...

A hospital in Maine is apologizing after the state's Human Rights Commission said workers had created a “wall of shame” ridiculing disabled patients and incorporating confidential medical information, according to CNN. MyKayla McCann, an employee who was treated at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, said that at least two co-workers looked at her medical records and that after she returned from a leave of absence she believed they were treating her differently. In September 2016, she reported her discomfort and the “wall of shame,” which included details of patients’ sexual activity, bodily functions and private parts, according to...

After a military judge ruled on Friday that Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl would get no prison time after pleading guilty to desertion/misbehavior before the enemy (he actually defected), the POTUS exploded on Twitter, calling the decision to spare the traitorous army soldier from doing time to be “a complete disgrace to our Country and Military”. Here’s the tweet: ‘The decision on Sergeant Bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military.’ Then-candidate Trump also said during an October campaign rally back in 2015 that, let me quote: “You probably can’t do it, but if I win...

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” President Barack Obama said his former Secretary of State and current Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton was careless in how she handled her emails, which is under investigation by the FBI. Obama said, “I continue to believe she has not jeopardized America’s national security. Now what I also said is that — and she’s acknowledged — that there’s a carelessness in terms of managing e-mails that she has owned. And she recognizes that. But I also think it is important to keep this in perspective. this is somebody who served her country...

Over the past several years, incidents involving fake gold (usually in the form of gold-plated tungsten) have emerged every so often, usually involving Manhattan's jewerly district, some of Europe's bigger gold foundries, or the occasional billion dealer. But never was fake gold actually discovered in the form monetary gold, held by a bank as reserve capital and designed to fool bank regulators of a bank's true financial state. This changed on Friday when Russia's "Admiralty" Bank, which had its banking license revoked last week by Russia's central bank, was reportedly using gold-plated metal as part of its "gold reserves." According...

[snip]...On first blush, I simply could not believe Mr. Milloy. Then I looked carefully at the facts and at the law. This case involves the intentional exposure of human subjects to “fine particulate” matter, also known as PM2.5. EPA obtained their PM2.5 from a diesel truck. It is difficult to overstate the atrocity of this research. EPA parked a truck’s exhaust pipe directly beneath an intake pipe on the side of a building. The exhaust was sucked into the pipe, mixed with some additional air and then piped directly into the lungs of the human subjects. EPA actually has pictures...

This is an animated video of a dove that we see in most back yards. As a child, I with a slingshot, 22 rifle and 12 gage shot gun, killed many kinds of birds just for sport, to see if I could aim good and bring the little creature to the ground. I didn’t kill for food but in adolescent behavior. It is so cruel and for this reason I created this video to show and teach the cruelty of this kind of behavior.

MINEOLA, N.Y. — For years, former Roslyn schools chief Frank Tassone admitted, he stole millions of dollars in taxpayer money to finance everything from his breakfast bagel to European jaunts on the Concorde. His next big journey on the taxpayers' dime will be to prison.

In January 2005, Jeremy Hammond and the hacker group collectively known as the "Internet Liberation Front" gained illegal access to the ProtestWarrior server. Thousands of customer credit card numbers were then stolen for the purpose of making millions of dollars in donations to various leftwing organizations. In early February, ProtestWarrior discovered the illegal breach and the identity of the criminals responsible. Using the hacker recruiting ground www.hackthissite.org, Jeremy Hammond put together and led a team of politically motivated "hacktivists" to probe the ProtestWarrior server for months until an exploit was found. When an obscure vulnerability was discovered in the PW...

But one of the buyers,...

This sounds like nice work, if you can get it. Help lose nearly $9 billion. Get "fired." Walk away with a golden-parachute package of $26 million plus a monthly pension of $116,300. And fully paid health and dental insurance — for life. As papers filed with the SEC last week show, the man in question with the sweetheart deal is Franklin Raines — now-departed CEO of Fannie Mae, the public-private non-banking entity that is America's primary mortgage lender. However, the company's primary regulator, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, recently found accounting irregularities that would wipe out the company's...

KABUL, Afghanistan - Three American vigilantes tricked NATO (news - web sites) peacekeepers into helping with illegal raids, the security force said Wednesday, getting them to send explosives experts and bomb-sniffing dogs to check buildings in Kabul where they had detained suspects. A spokesman said the men, led by former U.S. soldier Jonathan K. Idema, seemed authentic — fluent in military speak, decked out in faux U.S. Army fatigues and claiming to belong to a nonexistent task force. "Their credibility was such that with their uniforms, their approach, our people believed they were what they said they were," said Cdr....
