Alton Towers Smiler Ride Crash – Theme Park Accident
Witnesses report hearing a “loud bang” from half-way across the theme park – leaving “people knocked out” and “blood everywhere”.
Sen. Rand Paul Appears on Fox’s Hannity – June 1, 2015
Edward Snowden, a federal fugitive hiding in Russia, exposed the NSA’s illegal data collection.
Rand Paul, forced the expiration of the Patriot act by filibustering the final attempt at extending it.
Barack Obama, who in 2011 signed the law extending the Patriot act, now takes credit for it ending.
The Senate, which in 2011 voted 72-23 to extend the Patriot Act, now claim they wouldn’t have extended it under pressure with only 3 hours left to go like they did in 2011.
Nobody wanted to be on record as the senator that killed the Patriot Act, except for Rand Paul.
Edward Snowden should be given amnesty.
I can’t wait for Obama to disappear like Bush did.
President Obama on Twitter
“Glad the Senate finally passed the USA Freedom Act. It protects civil liberties and our national security. I’ll sign it as soon as I get it.”

“Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), fresh off a fight over the Patriot Act, has turned his attention to another national security battle: declassifying 28 pages of a 2002 Senate inquiry into the cause of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.”
“The issue is a politically charged one, with some claiming the pages will show that Saudi Arabia financed the attacks.”
“he does not yet intend to exercise his ability to read the pages on the Senate floor yet, saying he will try “normal legislative procedure” first”
Rand Paul calls for release of 9/11 documents
Twenty-eight pages of a Senate report remain classified
“Among those under age 35, just 25% say the risk of terrorism would increase without NSA data collection. That more than doubles to 60% among those age 65 or older.”
Yes, old people …
They won’t have to be scared for much longer …
Silk Road Creator Ross Ulbricht Gets Life in Prison
Ross Ulbricht, the operator of the online drug market Silk Road, was sentenced to life in prison by Judge Katherine Forrest in U.S. District Court earlier to…
“The city agreed to end “stop and identify” arrests and paid a $30,000 settlement to the brothers after an ACLU complaint, according to the civil liberties group and the two brothers.”
$30,000? That’s it? That settlement should have been at least $1 million.
BTW, California doesn’t actually have stop and identify laws; so I’m not sure why the police departments in California are using that policy to begin with — someone should arrest the cops for breaking the law 😀
Stop and identify statutes – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Stop and identify” statutes are statute laws in the United States that authorize police[1] to legally obtain the identification of someone whom they reasonably suspect has committed a crime. If the person is not reasonably suspected of committing a crime, they are not required to provide identifica…
““What you did with Silk Road was terribly destructive to our social fabric,” Judge Forrest said.”
Non-violent victim-less crimes … life in prison …
Oh wait, the “social fabric” was victimized …
