If anyone out of a uniform was caught stealing ammunition, they would face serious consequences. But not rookie cop Stephen Sargent. Sargent was busted stealing ammunition at an Academy sporting goods store near Houston, Texas. A Harris County sheriff’s deputy was seen by customers arresting a fellow law enforcement officer who was using his badge and uniform to get away with stealing ammunition, because it was “too expensive.” A spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff’s Department said that Sargent was arrested at the Academy Sports and Outdoors store after being caught on camera stealing around $60 worth of ammunition. “I can’t imagine why he would be ...

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance." -Cicero, 55 BC Poster Comment:

By Misha Hussain MACENTA, Guinea (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - In a land where witchcraft is sought after more than science for curing illness, medicine men in Guinea say the Ebola epidemic would be over by now if they had been properly included in the outbreak response. From broken bones to impotence to madness, these traditional healers say they have a potion, spell or touch for many ailments Western doctors can't treat. But there's only one cure for Ebola they say: knowledge. In the forest region of southeastern Guinea, where the virus was detected last March, disseminating information using modern technology has proved challenging, resulting in the disease outstaying its ...

PressTV... Study says over 70% of sex workers in the UK have previously worked in healthcare, education or charities. A new study reveals that at least 38 percent of sex workers in the United Kingdom have a first degree from a college or university. The study of 240 sex workers, including 196 women, 28 men and 12 transgender people, focused on those who were not trafficked or forced into selling sex, but had chosen to do so, and most worked from within premises rather than on the streets, the Guardian reported. The academic research by Leeds University and funded by the Wellcome Trust, also reveals the pressures that lead people to enter the sex industry, with one respondent saying ...

Sputnik... The issue has plagued the town of Kalachi in Kazakhstan, now nicknamed “Sleepy Hollow,” for months. The problem was first reported in 2010, and the government is now taking action against the bizarre epidemic. At least two other towns nearby have reported similar symptoms from their residents. It’s been classified as an “encephalopathy,” a neurological disease or disorder, of unclear origin. Villagers report dizziness, memory loss, loss of motor skills. Two children have reported hallucinations as well. Because doctors have yet to determine a “cure” for the mystery condition, officials in Kalachi, which has a population of less than 1000, ...

Want... President Xi Jinping of China and his top graft-buster Wang Qishan may be targeted by assassination attempts from corrupt officials who have been allegedly buying high-powered sniper rifles from the United States, reports Boxun News, a US-based citizen journalism outlet with a reputation for releasing unsubstantiated "insider" reports on Chinese politics.

(CN) - An Idaho lawmaker got an anatomy lesson Monday when he asked a doctor if a woman could swallow a camera to conduct a remote gynecological exam. State Rep. Vito Barbieri posed the question during testimony to the House State Affairs Committee. The bill at issue, HB 154, would bar doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing drugs through telemedicine services. Planned Parenthood posted an audiotape of the exchange on the Internet. Dr. Julie Madsen, who provides telemedicine services in Idaho, described a procedure in which colonoscopy patients swallow a device that gives doctors a clearer view of parts of the colon. "Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? ...

Model Ashley Graham and the “curvy” girl revolution By Brian Prowse-Gany She started modeling when she was just 12 years old in her hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, but now Ashley Graham is making a splash in the pages of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, flaunting her beautiful and voluptuous size 16 figure in a steamy ad for Swimsuits for All. Bringing sexy back in a redefined way, Ashley and her tiny black string bikini are showing the world that not all good things come in small packages.

Out of facts? Stick to cats: Examiner's pitiful attempt at dissing RT
Post Date: 2015-02-23 07:38:45 by Tatarewicz

RT... For an investigative reporter, the Examiner’s Julia Davis seems to lack one basic professional skill: fact checking. Or perhaps it's a lack of attention to detail that sees her repeatedly ignoring simple facts, particularly where RT is involved. First, Davis slams Newsweek for “parrot[ing] RT’s false narrative” and misreporting on a new Ukrainian law by erroneously stating that commanders can use force against servicemen who drink alcohol while on duty (in fact the law imposes administrative punishment for alcohol consumption). There’s one problem with that ‘line’ though – never does the RT story in question say such a thing. In fact, ...

HANGZHOU, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- As many Chinese prepare to travel abroad for the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, tourism industry insiders are appealing travelers to mind their manners. Ctrip, a NASDAQ-listed travel service company, published a report on Chinese travelers' behavior abroad in January, which claimed most of the 1 million tourists using its package or independent tour services to travel overseas do abide by local regulations. According to the report, those with unwelcome behaviors accounted for no more than one in 10,000. However, for the world's largest outbound travel market, even one in a million is enough to cause concern. In 2013, a Chinese tourist wrote his ...

Want... The number of Chinese women renting a fake boyfriend to take home with them for the Chinese New Year holidays to shield them from parental pressure to get married has increased, reports Hunan-based news website Voc. A 33-year-old man working in Nanjing who rented himself out this year said his own parents have liberal views and have not pressured him to get married. He decided to offer his service to help out women who do have such pressure and to make friends. Many women however would rather suck up the pressure than deceive their parents in this way. A 25-year-old woman surnamed Tan said she would never rent even though her mother and grandmother are bound to bombard her with ...
Book: Secret Tapes Reveal JFK's Duplicity on Cuba, Civil Rights

Recently uncovered secret tapes from the White House show President John F. Kennedy may have used duplicity when it came to some of his most important accomplishments, including the struggle for civil rights and Cuba, in hopes of winning re-election in 1964, according to The New York Post. One of his most questionable actions, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Patrick Sloyan writes in his new book, "The Politics of Deception" was telling his predecessor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, that he had rejected Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev's demands that American missiles be removed from Turkey in exchange for Soviet weapons being pulled from Cuba. In reality, Kennedy folded against ...
