The parents of a former Texas high school student accused of killing 10 people during a 2018 shooting on his campus bear responsibility for what happened because they failed to help their son amid a mental health crisis or to limit his access to the family’s guns, an attorney representing victims’ families told jurors this week. “This shooting was premeditated, it was predictable and it was preventable,” attorney Clint McGuire said during opening statements in the civil trial of a lawsuit seeking to hold Dimitrios Pagourtzis and his parents, Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos, financially liable for the shooting...

President Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden three times before saying yes, because he got cold feet about the possible political harm to himself if the mission failed. Instead of listening to advisors from the U.S. military, Defense, or even State, Obama was acting on the advice of White House politico and close friend Valerie Jarrett. Valerie Jarrett?

If you believe the Brazilian press, President Barack Obama and the first family made a very unusual request for their first-ever visit to this meat-loving country: they asked for a vegetarian menu.A web site covering Brazil's Congress said the president made the request. A major TV morning show said it came from First Lady Michelle Obama.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Investigators raided the offices of Rush Limbaugh's doctor Thursday, saying in search warrants that the conservative radio commentator engaged in illegal drug use and "doctor shopping" for prescription painkillers. The warrants show investigators were looking for records including prescription disbursements, appointment schedules, receipts and a medical questionnaire. "Mr. Limbaugh's actions violate the letter, and spirit" of the law that relates to "doctor shopping," stated one of warrants, signed by Asim Brown, a law enforcement agent assigned to the state attorney's office anti-money laundering task force. Doctor shopping refers to looking for a doctor willing...

St. Hillary of Hell -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: June 16, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Hillary says she has written another book. She's on a book tour. But as usual for this ghastly revenant of American politics, that isn't true. She no more wrote "Living History" than did you or I, although I have no doubt that she edited it very, very closely. After all, without careful precautions, it was always possible that one or two elements of the truth might inadvertently slip out. But this column is not a fiction review, so I'll ignore the book. What interests me...

Permanent tax cuts a welcome relief By ZELL MILLER I start with this basic belief: Government takes too much money from the American people. If you disagree, then you should probably stop reading here, turn a few pages and read your horoscope instead. For if you disagree, you must not mind having to work four months each year just to pay the government. Or that you pay taxes on everything. Or that taxes come at you from every direction. We are overtaxed, and it's hurting the economy. It's hurting those folks running businesses who risk their capital to create jobs....

Clinton Nixed Plan to Infiltrate al Qaeda, Top FBI Whistle-Blower Says A presidential executive order issued during the Clinton administration hamstrung the FBI so badly that bureau lawyers decided it would be illegal to infiltrate Osama bin Laden's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, a senior FBI official during the Clinton administration said Saturday. Former Deputy Assistant FBI Director Daniel Coulson fingered the Clinton White House in the decision to pass up what could have been an al Qaeda intelligence bonanza, during an interview on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" morning show. ALLISON CAMMARATA: This morning we've also been talking...

New Republic: CIA Back-Stabbed Bush to Cover Itself The CIA leaked that infamous Aug. 6 memo mentioning a possible terrorist hijacking to throw the blame on President Bush and cover up its own incompetence, suggests the New Republic. The left-leaning but respected magazine notes the meaningless vagueness of the memo. "The real scandal, in other words, isn't Bush's non-reaction to the CIA memo. It is the memo itself - which testifies powerfully to the shoddy nature of the CIA's pre-9/11 anti-terrorism work," Richard Miniter writes. "But rather than focusing on CIA incompetence, the media and congressional Democrats have used the...

Monday, May 13, 2002 10:48 a.m.EDT Bush White House Angered by Secret Clinton-Abdullah Meeting The Bush White House was surprised and angered when it discovered two weeks ago that ex-president Bill Clinton held a secret meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah only hours after members of the royal family met with President Bush and his father in Houston. "To the dismay of White House planners, [Abdullah] saw an unscheduled and unexpected visitor: Bill Clinton," reported USA Today on Monday - more than two weeks after NewsMax.com became the first news organization to reveal the secret sit-down in print.

Tuesday May 7, 2002; 8:43 a.m. EDT Ghoulish Media Fantasy: Hillary's Death Could Give Bill Third Term Just how badly do some journalists want to see Bill Clinton serve another term as president? Enough to openly speculate about a scenario where Hillary Clinton's death would nullify the 22nd Amendment baring a third term for her husband. That's the fantasy offered up by gossip columnist and media F.O.B. Liz Smith, who said Tuesday that she'd like to hear from "some Constitutional experts" on whether the macabre scheme would be "legally possible." Here's the plan: Have Hillary run for president with hubby...

Saturday April 13, 2002; 2:24 p.m. EDT IRS Pays Millions in Slavery Reparations While the debate over slavery reparations rages in legal and academic circles, it seems some folks at the Internal Revenue Service have already resolved the question. In fact, two years ago the tax collecting agency began handing out reparations payments to the tune of millions, based on claims filed by taxpayers who cited a nonexistent slavery tax credit. The scam, touted by con-artists who tell unsuspecting marks they can help collect the slavery money for a fee, has resulted in $2.7 billion in claims, of which $30...

Democrats Vow to Filibuster Alaska Oil Drilling Wed Apr 10, 5:03 PM ET By Tom Doggett WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman (news - web sites) of Connecticut promised on Wednesday to filibuster any move to amend a pending energy bill to allow drilling in pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Lieberman criticized Republicans for using the Middle...

Sunday, Jan. 13, 2002 10:25 a.m. EST Enron 'Scandal' Should Prompt Indictments - for the Clintons No one can say President Bush hasn't tried. As part of his campaign pledge to move the country beyond eight years of partisan squabbling over Clinton-era corruption, he never mentioned Whitewater or Monicagate or any other of the dozen or so gates that metastasized during the 1990s. br pAfter he was elected, Bush gave his silent approval when, the day before he took office, independent counsel Robert Ray announced he wouldn't prosecute President Clinton for blatant and repeated instances of perjury before a federal ...

Former President Clinton told a Hartford audience Sunday that, although the current war against terrorists in Afghanistan will surely succeed, the larger battle of this century will be to create a world in which "there are fewer terrorists and more partners." In his 55-minute speech, Clinton portrayed the challenges of a "world without walls" that creates tremendous wealth and opportunities, but also global poverty; a world in which democracy is on the rise but in which terrorists have access to "modern weapons to pursue ancient hatreds." Clinton spoke at a packed Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, on the same ...

But that's not all. Clinton is also pushing for ...
