Las Vegas police leads Michael Steven Sandford from Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign rally at the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada June 18, 2016.

A man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer's gun so he could kill the candidate, according to federal authorities.

A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds.

Las Vegas police say Sandford is 19.

Federal Magistrate Judge George Foley on Monday declined to grant bail to Sandford. Foley said Sandford was a risk to the community and a flight risk.

Sandford has not entered a plea.

Culture of inhumanity: Shark dies after beachgoers and lifeguards pull it out of water to take photos

Horrifying footage has emerged of a shark dying after Dominican Republic lifeguards and beachgoers pulled it out of the water in order to take photos with the distressed creature.

The incident is the latest from a disturbing trend of people treating animals as props for holiday snaps.

A video of the incident, which took place on the beaches of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, shows a group of men, including lifeguards from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, run into shallow water with ropes and a small fishing net to capture the blue shark.

They then tie it up on the beach, placing a life buoy around its head and mouth.

Photos later emerged on social media of the men posing with the dead creature, two of which include a team of lifeguards. One even shows some small children happily posing alongside the lifeless shark.

Comment: When the Western leaders show such clear disdain for life and compassion, it's not surprising to see the masses follow suit.

Women's draft? Sign me up to abolish war

For too long, the women of this nation have been complacent while our brothers, sons, husbands, and fathers are sent to kill, maim, brutalize, destroy and even die in defense of our alleged liberty.

But now, the Senate has passed a $602 billion defense bill that includes an amendment for drafting women. If this bill were in effect today, I would be fined a quarter of a million dollars and face five years in prison for writing these words:

Women: do not register for the draft.

No one - man or woman - should register, or be required to register, for the draft. The draft should be completely eliminated. The military should be dismantled. War should be abolished. The bloated war budget should be returned to our children and students. The military industrial complex should be evicted from our politics and war profiteering should be completely and utterly outlawed.

Comment: National Defense Authorization Act 2017 includes draft for women & indefinite detention of American citizens

Since 1972, US military personnel have committed over 5,800 crimes on Japan's Okinawa Islands

US military personnel have committed over 5,800 crimes on Japan's Okinawa Islands since the territory was returned to Japan in 1972, according to police figures cited by protesters rallying against US presence in Japan's southernmost prefecture.

Approximately 65,000 people took part in a rally on Sunday to protest US military personnel crimes in Okinawa, which became the largest demonstration against US presence Okinawa in 20 years.

The protesters signed a petition calling for the withdrawal of US marines corps from Okinawa, which contained the figures taken from Japanese police, the Kyodo news agency reported.

Comment: Looks like the personnel working for the US military have adopted the same behaviors of their leaders, breaking laws and committing serious crimes of violence without any concern whatsoever for the consequences.

Meet Facebook's latest lobbyist for Israel, Jordana Cutler

A longtime senior adviser to Israeli Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been appointed as Facebook's head of policy and communication in the latest cooperation between the social networking site and the Israeli government to tackle the BDS movement.

Jordana Cutler, also chief of staff at the Israeli embassy in Washington, has joined Facebook's Israel office to oversee the planning and execution of measures taken to combat BDS campaigns.

Cutler's new post was applauded by the minister of public security Gilad Erdan, who announced on Thursday a series of legislative measures taken by his government against promoting the boycott of Israel.

"If we want to convince the world that de-legitimation of Israel is something wrong and that there should be consequences, we must start here in Israel," Erdan was quoted by Israeli media as saying during a conference in Herzliya.

Comment: It should be rather obvious at this point that Facebook is completely in the pockets of the elites and works for their benefit.

Rotten to the core: 3 NYPD commanders arrested and charged with corruption

Three ranking officials with the New York Police Department have been arrested and charged with violating federal corruption rules, as part of a federal investigations of Mayor Bill de Blasio's campaign fundraising.

Deputy Chief Michael J. Harrington, Deputy Inspector James M. Grant, and former Sergeant David Villanueva, all of the NYPD, were arrested early Monday and are expected to appear Monday afternoon in a Manhattan federal court. Also charged was Jeremiah Reichberg, a Brooklyn businessman and donor to Mayor de Blasio, according to court papers. The charges in the case include bribery, honest services wire fraud, and conspiracy.

Harrington and Grant allegedly accepted bribes, including a 2013 trip to Las Vegas for Super Bowl weekend while accompanied by a prostitute and other "prime seats to sporting events," as well as meals and free domestic and overseas trips, according to court documents.

Reichberg and an unidentified "confidential informant" are accused of supplying Harrington and Grant with improper gifts. The informant was identified in one report as Jona S. Rechnitz, who recently pleaded guilty to corruption charges and then offered information to federal law enforcement, according to the New York Times.

Radioactive drilling waste is 'virtually unregulated': Nobody knows how much is produced or where it is being stored

$radioactive fracking waste$

States involved in the fracking boom employ a patchwork of laws to deal with radioactive drilling waste, according to a new report. The US government does not fully regulate disposal, and industry is largely left to self-regulate.

The Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin is the center of heightened hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, activity in the US. States along the Marcellus include Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New York.

These four states handle many tons of radioactive fracking byproduct in a variety of ways, according to a new report by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), and there is no federal agency that fully regulates drilling waste.

Thus, energy companies and their interests end up taking control in the race to attract more drilling business in the region, experts told CPI.

"Nobody can say how much of any type of waste is being produced, what it is, and where it's ending up," said Nadia Steinzor of the group Earthworks, which is involved in a lawsuit that seeks to compel the US Environmental Protection Agency to take a larger role in tracking and regulating hazardous drilling waste.

Comment: Fracking requires around 3 to 6 million gallons of water for drilling per well. The highly toxic wastewater from fracking poses a major problem as it cannot be used for anything else. Contamination of drinking water supplies, as well as rivers, lakes and streams from improper storage, leaks and spills is widespread.

Sick German sex education program will teach students about anal sex, sadomasochism and using sex toys through "theatrical performances"

Anal sex practices, sadomasochism and adult sex toys should become known to German pupils through "theatrical performance," lectures or workshops, according to teaching materials promoted by a state-supported anti-homophobia project.

Fourteen-year-olds in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), the most-populous state in Germany, may come across school classes making them aware of anal sex, sadomasochism and the use of sex toys, including dildos, as early as in the next school year, according to Die Welt newspaper.

It all comes as part of an offbeat project called 'School of Diversity', jointly run by the regional education ministry and a number of LGBT advocacy groups to "reflect on tabooed, but very relevant themes [for teenagers]," as well as to promote diversity and tolerance in German society.

Proposed for school children in Year 7, the project seeks to introduce classes dealing with things like "premature ejaculation", "orgasms", sadomasochism and even "dark rooms" - places usually found in nightclubs, gay bathhouses or sex clubs where group intercourse between different or same sexes can take place.

A group calling itself New World Hackers has been taking over billboards along Interstate 30 in Dallas. Like myself, the group seems to dislike both the Democratic and Republican candidates for President, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Newsweek reports:

Electronic road signs in Texas have been targeted by hackers with messages against presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Signs on Interstate 30 were changed over recent weeks to read "Donald Trump is a shape shifting lizard," "Hillary for prison," and "Free Barrett Brown." A group of hackers called New World Hackers, who have previously targeted the website of Trump, claimed responsibility.

"As we stated earlier in the past... Trump is a little bitch," a member of the group tells Newsweek. "Hillary is worse. Barrett Brown is a legend. Hillary should be in prison for her actions most definitely."

Comment: Here's an Interesting interview with Barrett Brown:

Purging pathologicals: Three Oakland, California police chiefs ousted in just over a week

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf discusses the resignation of Police Chief Sean Whent alongside City Administrator Sabrina Landreth and interim Police Chief Ben Fairow who himself was ousted

The troubled police force in Oakland, California, saw its third police chief resign in just over a week on Friday as investigations into sexual misconduct and racist text messages continued to roil the department.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf told a Friday evening news conference that acting police chief Paul Figueroa resigned his duties, a mere two days after he was appointed to replace Ben Fairow as the department's top cop.

"I want to assure the citizens of Oakland that we are hell-bent on rooting out this disgusting culture," Schaaf said angrily, calling the environment in the department "toxic" and "macho."

Schaaf has declined to provide details about the ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against the department, claiming that releasing information could impede the probe and possible charges.

The local East Bay Express newspaper reported last Friday that as many as 21 officers from the Oakland police department and other area law enforcement agencies had sex with a teenage sex worker, including some while she was underage.

Comment: The rest of the country should take Oakland's Mayor Libby Schaff's example - purge their police departments of pathological types and instate civilian oversight.
