K9 Attacks Child When Cops Hide “a very small amount of illegal drugs” on 5th Graders to Demonstrate Their Omnipotent Power

 An 11-year-old boy was bitten by a police dog during a simulated drug raid demonstration in Brazil, Indiana last week.

The boy suffered puncture wounds to his calf when Max, the K-9 officer, bit him during a mock drug search presentation.

Judge J. Blaine Akers arranged for K-9 teams to carry out a simulated drug raid for a group of fifth-graders as part of a Red Ribbon Awareness week kick-off event at the Clay County Courthouse.

According to The Brazil Times:

    Brazil Police Chief Clint McQueen said a very small amount of illegal drugs were hidden on one of the juveniles to show how the dogs can find even the smallest trace of an illegal substance. He added all this was done “under exclusive control and supervision of members of the court and law enforcement.”

Apparently the children were advised to “stay still” while the dogs sniffed them. The officer’s report explains why he thinks Max decided to take a bite out of one of the children:

United Nations To Take Over The Alamo?

San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julián Castro is currently negotiating with the United Nations to designate the Alamo as a UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, meaning that a blue UN flag may fly above the historic shrine of liberty once it falls under UN control.

UNESCO, a specialized agency within the UN, created the World Heritage Site status out of a 1972 international agreement, which calls for nations to join together to manage historical sites through “collective assistance.”

“San Antonio has the opportunity for its five Spanish Colonial Missions [including the Alamo] to be nominated to be the first UNESCO World Heritage site in the State of Texas and the 22nd World Heritage designation in the United States,” the October 2013 City of San Antonio newsletter reads.

The Alamo consists of both the Alamo chapel and the surrounding compound now referred to as the Alamo Plaza.

The Alamo chapel, which is what people tend to picture when they hear the name “Alamo,” is managed by the Texas General Land Office and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

The Alamo Plaza, where most of the fighting took place during the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, is administered by the City of San Antonio.

During the battle, at least 189 Alamo defenders sacrificed their lives for liberty instead of surrendering to the tyrannical Mexican president Antonio López de Santa Anna.

The Alamo emerged from the battle as a sacred shrine for individual freedom in the face of collective evil.

Global warming gets nearly twice as much taxpayer money as border security

http://libertyendanger.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/al-gore-global-warming-hoax1.jpg

New estimates show the federal government will spend nearly twice as much fighting global warming this year than on U.S. border security.

The White House reported to House Republicans that there are 18 federal agencies engaged in global warming activities in 2013, funding a wide range of programs, including scientific research, international climate assistance, incentivizing renewable energy technology and subsidies to renewable energy producers. Global warming spending is estimated to cost $22.2 billion this year, and $21.4 billion next year.

At the same time, the federal government will spend nearly $12 billion on customs and border enforcement this year.

When this prankster is gunned down by a cop, concealed carrier, or homeowner, only his mother will mourn him. Maybe.



Obviously, brain-dead and lucky to be alive.

Young Witness at Fort Fisher – Captain Edgar Dickinson Williams of Smithville

“Captain Williams was born at Smithville, now Southport, North Carolina February 4, 1849, a son of Edgar and Susan Osgood Andrew (Potter) Williams, natives of Charleston, South Carolina, and Smithville, North Carolina, respectively. The father was a master mariner in the trade to the West Indies until his death in February, 1863, and the mother died in 1862, he only surviving her for a year.

When a lad he witnessed both bombardments of Fort Fisher, and other war activities of this region, with such vivid interest that the impressions remain, and for some years he has been collecting relics taken from Fort Fisher . . . donating this collection to the public schools of Wilmington, to be handed down to generations yet to come.  In 1921 he raised a fund to place a monument at Fort Fisher [to memorialize the] engagement which Captain Williams witnessed, January 14, 1865, which resulted in the fall of the Confederate stronghold January 15, 1865. 

In March 1874, Captain Williams married Ida Jane Fleet, born at Wilmington, a daughter of James and Caroline (Sholar) Fleet, natives of Granville, Nova Scotia, Canada, and Wilmington, respectively. 

During the War between the States Mr. Fleet supervised the loading and distribution of cargoes to and from blockade runners in the port of Wilmington, and [his] business of towing, wrecking, barging and general handling of ships is now conducted under the name of the Diamond Steamboat and Wrecking Company. 

It has always been a source of deep regret to Captain Williams that his tender years prevented his participation in the War Between the States . . . [though] Probably the work [he has] accomplished in discovering and preserving relics . . . will not be appreciated at its proper value until this generation has passed, but it is none the less important. [He] has located four guns of the Lamb battery, named for Col. William Lamb, wounded at Fort Fisher.  These guns were buried on the west side of the Cape Fear River in 1865, and they laid there until discovered by Captain Williams. 

He has recently discovered in the course of his investigations [the wreck of the privateer CSS Chickamauga], taken up to a point about forty miles above Wilmington, known as Indian Wells.
Captain Williams had the misfortune to lose his wife by death July 5, 1923.”

“Abortion on demand and without apology!”

 http://gregorykoger.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/abortion-demo-march.jpg

That’s one of several slogans being uttered by a new pro-abortion movement. According to Breitbart:

“On Monday, pro-abortion groups across the country launched an organized effort to feature women telling uplifting stories of their abortions…Tellingly, organizers suggest that their goal is to keep abortion ‘safe, legal, and affordable’ – a marked change from the old pro-choice slogan from the Clinton years, ‘safe, legal, and rare.’ The organizers also want to “end the stigma” surrounding abortion.“

Safe, legal and rare. What a crock. The abortion movement was never out to make abortions anything but legal.

Newsmax/Zogby Poll: Libertarian Hurting Cuccinelli in Va. Gov. Race

 http://www.cbn.com/CBNNews_Files/images11/politics/CuccinelliFamily.jpg

A Newsmax/Zogby Poll shows that with one week to go before Virginians elect a new governor, Democrat Terry McAuliffe is leading Republican Ken Cuccinelli by a margin of 35.5 percent to 30.4 percent, with Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis gathering enough support to tip the balance.

Although McAuliffe's campaign spending advantage and the scandals surrounding outgoing Republican Gov. Robert McDonnell are the most oft-cited reasons for Cuccinelli's underdog status, Zogby's polling shows that Sarvis is hurting the state attorney general's chances.

In figures released Tuesday, Zogby found that among likely Virginia voters, attorney and high-tech entrepreneur Sarvis drew 9 percent of the vote for the Nov. 5 contest, with 6.8 percent preferring another candidate, and 18.3 percent undecided — an unusually high number of voters who haven't made up their minds at this late date, veteran pollster John Zogby told Newsmax.

When the "undecided" voters were removed from the survey, Zogby found that McAuliffe, former Democratic national chairman, led Cuccinelli by 43 percent to 37 percent and Sarvis drew 11 percent, while 8 percent selected another candidate.

"Republicans do have cause to be worried and yes, Sarvis is hurting Cuccinelli more than McAuliffe," Zogby told Newsmax shortly after the release of his survey. "What is especially important is that, among voters who are aged 18 to 29, Sarvis draws 24 percent — one in four voters."
