Feds Shake Down Farmer for Free Raisins
A California raisin farmer is facing bankruptcy for defying a law requiring him to give the government a portion of his raisin crop without compensation. According to a Washington Post report, Marvin Horne, 68, stopped giving the government his raisins in 2002 and now “owes the U.S. government at least $650,000 in unpaid fines,” in addition to “1.2 million pounds of unpaid raisins, roughly equal to his entire harvest for four years.” Horne violated Marketing Order 989, passed during the Truman administration, “a federal regulation meant to solve a problem from the era after World War II, which created the… View Article

Supreme Court uphold ban on Muslim headwear in schools
A branch of Russia’s Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by a group of Muslims for the right of schoolgirls to wear traditional religious attire, specifically the hijab, in classrooms. The appeal was made by a group of citizens of Muslim faith from southern Russia’s Stavropol Region. They complained that a decree by the local administration ordering all schoolchildren to appear in classes only in regular secular clothes, which came into force in January this year, infringes their freedom of faith as guaranteed by the constitution. Certain denominations of Islam requires that all women wear special headscarves called hijabs,… View Article

Rand Paul – I’m ‘Thinking About’ Running for President
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Thursday that he is contemplating a run for president in 2016 and that he will likely make an announcement on a decision shortly after the 2014 midterm congressional elections. “We’ve been thinking about it,” Paul said in a phone interview. “And we will continue to think about it probably until after the 2014 elections. I haven’t made a decision, it’s a big decision you know with regard to family and the extensive travel that’s involved with it. And then also just seeing where the country is going in… View Article

Only 41% Approve Of Obama’s Handling of Immigration
A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday delivers plenty of bad news for President Obama and his second term agenda. On every important national issue, the president finds himself upside down. This includes his overall approval rating, 44% – 48%; foreign policy, 40% – 52%; the economy, 41% – 55%. The president is also dramatically upside down on immigration, 41% – 50%. It seems odd that the president would find himself in this position on the immigration issue just days after the Senate passed the comprehensive immigration reform he asked for. You would think that would be seen as a win for… View Article

How Microsoft handed the NSA access to encrypted messages
Microsoft has collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users’ communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company’s own encryption, according to top-secret documents obtained by the Guardian. The files provided by Edward Snowden illustrate the scale of co-operation between Silicon Valley and the intelligence agencies over the last three years.

Court: Religious rights as important as ‘gay’ rights
Court: Religious rights as important as ‘gay’ rights In a stunning case in the United Kingdom, an appellate court has concluded in a dispute over homosexuals’ access to a bed-and-breakfast run by Christians that religious rights are as valid as “gay” rights. The opinion comes in a case against the Swiss Bed and Breakfast in Cookham, Berkshire. The owner, Susanne Wilkinson, was ordered earlier to pay a homosexual duo, Michael Black and John Morgan, about $6,000 in damages for denying them permission to use a bedroom. Nevertheless, the determination that religious rights… View Article
