Clark County defies court order to release Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock's, coroner's report

After months of radio silence, new information released earlier this week surrounding the investigation into Las Vegas Shooter Stephen Paddock's motive appears to have revived suspicions that another person was involved in the shooting.

The newly unsealed documents - which were unsealed by court order after journalists at the Las Vegas Review-Journal and other media sued - revealed that the FBI is seeking a "person of interest" named Douglas Haig. Haig's name had not previously been connected to the shooting. What's more, according to what's been widely cited as his LinkedIn page, Haig had "DOD Top Secret clearance" and worked for top weapons manufacturers and specialized in Military Ammunition, as we pointed out.

Haig's connection to Paddock and the shooting is unclear, but in another confusing development, Clark County Nevada Coroner John Fudenberg is defying a court order to release the full autopsy report for Paddock - even though Paddock's body was cremated in December.

Comment: At this point, there's little doubt that something is being covered up in the Las Vegas shooting. For the coroner to incur fines rather than release a 5-week old report reeks of manipulation of evidence. It's unlikely the whole truth will ever be revealed.

Feeding the homeless is illegal: Cops raid licensed chef's home, steal his cooking equipment

A local chef, who had his food handler's license was raided by a dozen cops and health department officials who stole all of his equipment because he fed the homeless without a proper permit.


A kind and loving local chef woke up Tuesday morning to a dozen cops and health department officials raiding his home. Khemuel "Chef" Sanders had his business shut down, all of his equipment stolen by the state, and his life ruined because he made food in his home to give to the homeless.

Unfortunately, in the land of the free, it is against the law to help others or try to make a dollar without first paying the government for the privilege of doing so. While the state will claim this is for the safety of others who may consume the food, the reality is that it is a revenue generation scheme.

To be clear, Sanders is a licensed food handler. He paid the government for the privilege to handle food, however, he was doing it in a manner which they disapproved.

"I have my food handlers license. Expires at the end of this month. I was in a restaurant but the owner got in some trouble and shut everything down. It was out of my control that's the only reason why I was cooking out of my home," Sanders explained.

Comment: The war against the homeless continues, as the pathocrats do everything in their power to criminalize the charitable impulse to help those in need. It's essentially criminalizing conscience.

French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb (C) meets with gendarmes on February 2, 2018 in Calais, northern France, following a large brawl between a hundred migrants which resulted in several injuries
At least four people suffered gunshot wounds and dozens were injured as violent clashes between Afghan and Eritrean migrants broke out in and around the French port city of Calais.

The violence broke out around 3pm on Thursday afternoon when a brawl began between rival gangs of migrants from Afghanistan and Eritrea "armed with sticks and stones" near Calais Hospital.

The fight, which lasted almost two hours, reportedly began with an Afghan migrant opening fire, AFP reported. At least four Eritreans, aged between 16 and 18, received bullet wounds, including one who was transported to the hospital in Lille in "very serious condition." The others were taken to Calais Hospital for "urgent" surgery.

Liberal madness and ideological indoctrination: Inside a public school social justice factory

Edina's Highlands Elementary School
The city of Edina has changed the way it approaches public education, putting social justice above learning. The results will shock you.

For decades, the public schools of Edina, Minnesota, were the gold standard among the state's school districts. Edina is an upscale suburb of Minneapolis, but virtually overnight, its reputation has changed. Academic rigor is unraveling, high school reading and math test scores are sliding, and students increasingly fear bullying and persecution.

The shift began in 2013, when Edina school leaders adopted the "All for All" strategic plan-a sweeping initiative that reordered the district's mission from academic excellence for all students to "racial equity."

"Equity" in this context does not mean "equality" or "fairness." It means racial identity politics - an ideology that blames minority students' academic challenges on institutional racial bias, repudiates Martin Luther King, Jr.'s color-blind ideal, and focuses on uprooting "white privilege."

The 80-year-old man is currently on bail awaiting sentencing, but has been ordered to keep off farms, where judges fear he may find more bovine victims.

Actor John Schneider (right) and wife Elly Castle arrives to the premiere of "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" at Universal City Walk on October 1, 2007 in Universal City, California.
John Schneider may be facing jail time if he doesn't pay up.

The "Dukes of Hazzard" star's estranged wife took the actor to court over unpaid spousal support, according to a report from The Blast.

The gossip site reports that Schneider owes his ex Elvira Castle $185,000 and she filed documents to ask for the maximum punishment of nearly three months in jail.

Schneider reportedly argued in court that he has "been willing, but unable" to pay the $18,911 per month that he is required to pay Castle.


Comment: That's a lot of soy lattes.


According to the 57-year-old, he "tried his very best and has used his best efforts to earn a regular, reasonable, steady income" since his ex filed for divorce in 2014.

Comment: Isn't it a bit strange that someone could be made the debt slave of another human being, and failure to pay could lead to prison? Hmm. Weird.

Government should do more to help people: poll results surprise

In a clear break from recent polling, a new survey has found that as many as 58 percent of Americans want the government to do more to "solve problems and help meet the needs of people."

Only 38 percent agreed with the statement that "Government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals," the NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found.

The 58 percent support for government marks an all-time high during the 20 years the question has been posed, analysts noted. The poll was taken nationwide Jan. 13-17, in the run-up to the recent three-day government shutdown.

Being a cuckhold is good for you, study suggests

Acting on adulterous fantasies may strengthen a relationship, as counterintuitive as it may sound.
In our current political climate, the term "cuck" -- short for "cuckservative" -- has become an insult of the so-called alt-right, aimed at men they view as spineless and emasculated. The slur has its roots in the concept of cuckolding, or having an adulterous partner.


Comment: From "cuckservative"? Umm, no. The euphemism was inspired by the Cuckoo bird, who would lay its eggs in another bird's nest.


But, according to a recent study by David Ley, Justin Lehmiller and the writer Dan Savage, acting on cuckolding fantasies can be a largely positive experience for many couples, and hardly a sign of weakness.


Comment: That stretches even our credulity.


References to cuckolding appear in literature as early as the 13th century, usually in the form of male characters who fear that their child has been sired by another man during an act of infidelity.


Comment: No. A cuckhold is a person who knowingly raises the child of an adulterous affair. It's not just someone who "fears that their child has been sired by another man."


Today, however, cuckolding has become fetishized into a powerful sexual fantasy for some men, who get aroused by the idea of their romantic partner engaging in sexual activity with someone else.


Comment: We wonder how that happened.


Women also share this fantasy, but less so than men."This fantasy has been around as long as marriage and sexuality," said Ley, whose book "Insatiable Wives" addresses cuckolding in heterosexual couples. "But we're hearing more and more about it these days, and more people are rejecting the social stigma against this fantasy."

Comment: Words fail us. They truly do.
