Canadian Police Punish Drunk Drivers with Nickelback Songs

by Katherine Rodriguez A Canadian town has come up with a unique way to punish drunk drivers. Police in Kensington will not only charge drunk drivers with a crime and give them a hefty fine; they will also force drunk drivers to listen to the Canadian band Nickelback in the police cruiser, CNN reported.

NYT: ‘Public Safety’ At Risk if Donald Trump Signs National Reciprocity

by AWR Hawkins A New York Times editorial claims “public safety” would be at risk if Donald Trump signs national reciprocity for concealed carry permits into law. The NYT suggested that such a move will only further the “fantasy” Trump embraced during the campaign; the “fantasy that citizens can stand up to gunmen by shooting it out.” On June 27, 2016, approximately two weeks after the attack on the gun-free zone in the Orlando Pulse nightclub, a concealed carry permit holder stopped a mass shooting outside a Spartanburg, South Carolina, nightclub. The concealed permit holder stopped the attempted mass...

Governor Matt Bevin: It Is ‘Delusional’ to Trust in Gun Control

by AWR Hawkins As gun crime in Democrat-run Louisville, Kentucky, continues to soar, Governor Matt Bevin (R) rejects the passage of more gun laws, stressing that it is “delusional” to trust in gun control. Louisville has witnessed nearly 110 firearm-related fatalities in 2016, including two who were shot and killed on Thanksgiving Day during the annual Juice Bowl football game. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer (D) has been pressing for more gun control as a way to combat the rising violence.

Do You Really Think a Group “Asthma Attack” Caused 8500 People to Drop Like Flies in Australia?

By Daisy Luther This is one of the weirdest stories I’ve heard in a long time. So very weird that I have to call BS (baloney sandwiches) on the whole darned thing. Last week, 8500 people were sent to the hospital in Melbourne, Australia during a period of five hours due to a freak storm that caused what authorities are referring to as “thunderstorm asthma.” An ambulance was dispatched every 4.5 seconds during the peak of the storm, and eight people died. (Learn more here.) Is it just me or does this sound like a biological or chemical attack?...

Milwaukee’s Biggest Paper BLASTS Jill Stein And Hillary Clinton Over Recount in Scathing Editorial

by Aleister Jill Stein’s recount efforts are more political theater and fundraising than anything else. She and her allies are just trying to diminish the legitimacy of Trump’s win. Of course, Stein keeps saying it’s about the voters and the integrity of our elections. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel isn’t buying it: Editorial: Jill Stein’s Wisconsin vanity project Jill Stein may actually believe that demanding a recount of presidential tallies in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania will ensure that “democracy” is served. More likely, she believes the Green Party will be served by her audacious PR stunt. Either way, the Stein...
