Scot Peterson, a former deputy with the Broward
County Sheriff's Office, has reportedly started to receive a hefty
pension — three months after he retired amid the aftermath of the mass
shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Peterson, a 33-year law enforcement
veteran, was the resource deputy stationed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School on Feb. 14 when 17 people were killed by gunfire.
As one of the largest mass shootings in modern U.S.
history unfolded, Peterson never entered the building where alleged
gunman Nikolas Cruz was opening fire and instead took up a position
outside the building that was under attack.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 16, teachers in North Carolina
will be marching in Raleigh to protest education funding. The links
below give the real story of how the Republican legislature has funded
the public schools. Thanks to several of our readers who have helped to
provide this information.
Here are two sites also with facts and figures about the
raises that teachers have gotten over the last 5 budget years (including
this one):

(At this site, a teacher can type in how many years they have been a
teacher and it will show what their pay is now vs what it would have
been before Republican pay increases)
From inside Gaza, the reality of the so called "peaceful
demonstrations". Watch Hamas hate speeches. See how they build their
propaganda at the expense of brainwashed, deceived and manipulated
unfortunate people. Understand why Israel has no choice but to protect
itself using lethal force.

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War," in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries.
Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities.
Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."
A man identified as the president of the Timmonsville NAACP chapter said
in a Facebook post that he was racially profiled by a Timmonsville
police officer. A body cam video provided by the Timmonsville Police
Department contradicts his claims.
U.S. military
equipment and ammunition, sent to Syria as part of a failed Obama
administration plan to find and arm moderate forces to defeat ISIS, were
instead simply handed over to an Al Qaeda group, according to the man
who said he himself brokered the deal.
“I communicated with Al Qaeda’s
branch, Al Nusra, to protect and safely escort me and my soldiers for
two hours from North Aleppo to West Aleppo,” Maj. Anas Ibrahim Obaid,
better known on the battlefield as Abu Zayd, told Fox News from his home
in the western Aleppo area. “In exchange, I gave them five pickup
trucks and ammunition.”
Pre-Christian
paganism is on the rise across Scandinavia, as more Swedes choose to
rejoin the traditional faith of Thor and Odin, despite being habitually
accused of nationalism and their symbols being "expropriated" by
neo-Nazis.
Ancient
pagan beliefs appear to be making a comeback in Scandinavia. The Nordic
Asa-Community alone has grown to over 800 members over just a few
years, whereas older communities are picking up in numbers as well, the
newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported. The name of the faith, Asatro, translates as allegiance to the Æsir, a set of deities in Norse mythology.
America's political experts got it wrong in 2016, not because they
took too few polls but because they made the false assumption that
American elections are immune to societal change.
The experts are,
in large part, still getting things wrong, not only by failing to
understand a new group of voters who put President Donald Trump in the
White House but also by ignoring why the group voted the way it did.
When
explaining the Trump voter, the media usually offer portraits of
isolated, uneducated, working-class rubes who are driven by anger, race
and nationalism. It's hard for the experts and those who didn't support
Trump to see it any other way.
These fascinating photos reveal how
America's first band of special forces had to be trained by hardened
British commandos in the Scottish Highlands during the Second World War.
US
President Franklin D Roosevelt feared his troops lacked combat
experience as they entered the global conflict in the aftermath of the
attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941.
He
established a 'hit and run' group to be trained by the British elite
commandos who had launched successful raids against the German held
Lofoten Islands in Norway.
In the aftermath of the Kanye West dust-up, my heart goes out to the
white people who control the Democratic Party. My pity stems from the
hip-hop megastar's November announcement to his packed concert audience
that he did not vote in the presidential election but if he had, he
would have voted for Donald Trump. Then, on April 21, West took to his
Twitter account, which has 28 million followers, to announce, "I love
the way Candace Owens thinks." Owens is Turning Point USA's director of
urban engagement and has said that former President Barack Obama caused
"damage" to race relations in the United States during his two terms in
office.
As NRA-ILA reported on April 27,
peaceful Switzerland is in the crosshairs of international and domestic
gun control advocates who are intent on abolishing the idyllic nation’s
tradition of an armed citizenry. Using the 2017 changes to the European Firearms Directive as justification, these foreign and home-grown forces
are attempting to burden the tranquil republic with gun controls the
Swiss people have continually rejected. However, as was pointed out in a
recent Bloomberg article, many Swiss citizens are refusing to take this assault on their inalienable rights and national sovereignty lying down.
The Trump administration is making preparations to warehouse migrant children on military bases, according to Defense Department
communications, the latest sign the government is moving forward with
plans to split up families who cross the border illegally.
According
to an email notification sent to Pentagon staffers, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) will make site visits at four military
installations in Texas and Arkansas during the next two weeks to
evaluate their suitability for child shelters.
On Thursday May 10th Michael Avenatti released a statement
saying all fees and and expenses of his case with porn star Stormy
Daniels “have either been funded by our client, Ms. Stephanie Clifford,
or by donations from our crowdjustice.com page.
As attorney Robert Barnes reported earlier today in January
2018 Michael Avenatti got an unidentified source of income that allowed
him to pay:
** $4.85 Million to his law firm employees he defrauded
** Close to $2 Million in back taxes for payroll taxes on his law firm
** Nearly another $1 million to other creditors
This occured at the same time he picked up a new client — Stormy Daniels.
We’re told that “division” and “partisanship” and “bigotry” are
destroying America. “Hate" is the cancer in our cultural bloodstream,
they say. We must fight against hate speech and hate crimes and hate in
every other form. There is so much hate, allegedly. Some people are even
worried that another civil war might be on the horizon.
I think
we flatter ourselves. There will be no civil war. We’re far too lazy for
such an onerous pursuit. It’s easier to snipe at each other in the
comments section or shoot off insults on social media. We much prefer a
tweet war to an actual war because tweet wars don’t interrupt a Netflix
binge.
During the real Civil War, men marched over mountains in
bare feet in the winter. They lived on salt pork and black coffee made
from acorns. They charged headlong into cannon fire. They used whiskey
as an anesthetic while they had their limbs amputated. They had
convictions, and they died for them.
We do not have that kind of conviction.
Our double age-ent: Kenneth Leverich, a former Junior Olympic
weightlifter and top SoCal Crossfit competitor who does even lift, bro
-- 535lbs dead, precisely. We tapped Hollywood special effects guru Dan
Gilbert to subject Leverich to 4 hours of prosthetics and make up. Then
we made him wear a cardigan.
If Leftists in NC's General Assembly get their way, passage of “Gun Confiscation Order” laws could actually happen.
The
Left obsesses over gun confiscation, even if they have to do it one
person at a time. They have hit upon a new tactic of using “Gun
Confiscation Orders” (GCOs) to seize someone’s property without due
process or even their knowledge of what is to take place.
Rep. Marcia Morey, D-Durham plans on introducing a bill establishing these “Gun Confiscation Orders”.
