Innocent Family Raided by SWAT, Held at Gunpoint After Cops Mistook Hibiscus for Weed
A Butler County couple is suing their insurance agent and local police after the two colluded to arrest the family for growing marijuana. However, the family was not growing marijuana-they were growing hibiscus.

The Nationwide Insurance agent was investigating a claim surrounding a fallen tree last month when he noticed what he thought was cannabis. Being the good little 'see something say something' citizen that he is supposed to be, he then acted.

The agent notified the Buffalo Township police department that he saw what he believed to be marijuana growing in the couple's home. Instead of doing even the most basic police work, and investigating the matter with, let's say a pair of binoculars, police reportedly got a warrant instead.

Three hunters shot and wounded themselves on the opening day of Wisconsin's gun deer season.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Recreational Safety Warden Mark Little says the first happened in Brown County about 5:30 a.m. Saturday. A 49-year-old man was working on his firearm when it discharged into his right ankle.

The second happened after 9 a.m. in Forest County. A 49-year-old Crandon man was sitting in the cab of his truck when he saw a deer. When the hunter went to move his rifle, it went off, sending a bullet through his legs and then the truck's seat and door.

WSAW-TV reports the third incident happened in Shawano County. A 51-year-old man bent over and his holstered handgun fired, hitting his leg.

The season runs through Sunday, Nov. 26.

Best of the Web: The transgender zealots are trying to destroy truth itself

Most of these politically correct fads are just designed to wind us up and provoke us. For example, I now regret having wasted so much time trying to argue rationally about same-sex marriage. All the sexual revolutionaries wanted was an excuse to call me a bigot. They could then ignore everything I said, or tell lies about me, or both.

It was a tiny issue. In 2014, for example, in England and Wales, there were 247,372 heterosexual weddings, and 4,850 same-sex marriages. Already there are several hundred same-sex divorces each year.

Once the novelty has worn off, I suspect the numbers of same-sex unions will decrease, just as heterosexual ones are doing. The point - that the old ways are dead and gone - will have been made, and the campaigners will move on to something else.

I once thought the same about the transgender issue. But the idea that people are whatever sex they think they are is a terrifying weapon in the hands of modern Thought Police. Whatever you say, you cannot possibly be right about this.

Michael Bell Sr. billboard
Thirteen years have passed since one man's son was fatally shot by police officers, and he cannot rest until his family sees the men who shot and killed his son brought to justice. Unsatisfied with the turn-around investigation which, predictably, exonerated all of the officers involved, Michael Bell Sr. has now leased 24 billboards in and around Kenosha, Wisconsin, calling for an investigation into his son's death to be reopened.

Lt. Col. Michael Bell (USAF, Ret.) lost his son, also named Michael Bell, 13 years ago. After a night of drinking, Bell was reportedly the soberest of his friends and drove his friend's SUV home early on the morning of Nov. 9, 2004.

Comment: Increasingly, it seems seeking justice against wrongful police action is falling on the victims and their families, as corrupt police forces continue to protect their own. See:

Roy Moore case: Calls for arrest of attorney Gloria Allred over possibly forged signature in accuser's yearbook

forged signature Beverly Young yearbook Roy Moore


Following The Gateway Pundit's viral story on Judge Roy Moore's alleged signature inside accuser Beverly Young Nelson's yearbook, more evidence suggested it was a forgery.

On Monday, CNN published photos of the signature showing two different inks.

The signature says "To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say, 'Merry Christmas.' Love, Roy Moore DA, 12-22-77, Olde Hickory House."

Strangely, "To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say, 'Merry Christmas.' Love, Roy," is written in black ink, while "Moore DA, 12-22-77, Olde Hickory House," is in blue ink.

Comment: There have been a few pieces of 'evidence' in this case that appear to have been fabricated. See: Regarding the yearbook, the first article on the list adds:
The claim that Moore was banned from the mall is just the latest claim to come under public scrutiny as MSNBC's Katy Tur intensely questioned attention-crazed attorney Gloria Allred about the validity of a yearbook that Moore is alleged to have signed that would connect him to one of his accusers.

After pressuring Allred several times about the yearbook, Tur backed Allred into a corner and forced her to answer whether her client ever saw Roy Moore sign the yearbook.

"But did she see him sign it?" Tur asked.

"You know, I don't - I haven't asked her if she saw him, but we did describe what happened that evening in question," Allred responded. "What she alleges was that she put it on the counter; that I think she asked to sign - or that he did sign it. That's all."

Total Control: The FCC is about to let monopolies decide what local news you see

FCC Federal Communications Commission
What would happen if the politician you love to hate were indicted, but your local news didn't report it? No newspaper stories, no TV news, no radio news on the hour, nothing.

Couldn't happen? Think again.

The Republican-controlled Federal Communications Commission will vote Nov. 16 to allow just one corporation to own the local newspaper plus nearly every commercial TV station in your town. Nifty way to reduce down to just one newsroom then dictate whatever information that corporation does - and does not - want you to know in this democracy.

It's exactly what's happened with radio. Back in the day when lots of companies owned 40 radio stations, the broadcast industry made big promises that local information would be much more diverse if they could simply own many more stations. The 1996 Telecommunications Act resulted in a handful of corporations owning thousands of stations - and force feeding conservative programming down our country's throats ever since, no debate, no opposing opinions allowed.

The Media Action Center showed during the Scott Walker recall in Wisconsin that "conservative" radio giants there gave millions of dollars in free airtime to the GOP candidate - while refusing to allow a single Democrat on the air at all. GOP operatives there still gloat about radio winning elections for them. After 21 years of this kind of divisive public policy, 60 million people listen to conservative radio, about the same number that voted for Donald Trump.

"But to my knowledge, he was not banned from the mall."

The former manager of the mall in Alabama that some claim GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore was banned from dropped a bombshell in a recent interview with a local FOX affiliate station in Birmingham.

Barnes Boyle, who managed the Gadsden Mall from 1981 to 1996, told WBRC FOX 6 on Wednesday that Roy Moore was not actually banned from the local mall for approaching teenaged girls.

"Sure, it was part of the job," Boyle said. "We did have written reports and things. But to my knowledge, he was not banned from the mall."

Comment: You can watch the WBRC FOX 6 News report here.

The whole case against Moore is looking more and more like a politically motivated witch hunt.

Charles Manson, the demented cult leader who ordered seven people killed in August 1969 as part of a sadistic plot to start an apocalyptic race war, died Sunday night in California, according to a prison official.

He was 83. The cause of death was listed as natural causes.

Manson, who lingered near death for days after he was wheeled into a Bakersfield hospital surrounded by five uniformed cops, died at 8:13 p.m. local time.

Department of Corrections spokeswoman Vicky Waters declined to identify who was with Manson during his final hours.

Manson, one of the most notorious criminals in American history, was serving several life sentences at Corcoran State Prison when he fell ill. He was moved to the hospital for treatment.

Instantly recognizable for the crude, self-carved swastika on his forehead, the sadistic mass murderer was a wannabe musician and unemployed felon before unleashing his bloody rampage as the messiah of a mostly female group of acolytes known as the Manson Family.

Over 6,000 in 2016: Pentagon releases sexual assault data by military base

For the first time, the Pentagon has revealed data on the number of reported sexual assaults for each US military base.

In a report that was released earlier this year covering October 2012 to September 2016, the Pentagon disclosed that 6,172 sexual assault reports were filed in the 2016 fiscal year.

Even though the study outlines where a report is made - not necessarily where the sexual assault occurred - it does detail the bases with the highest number of reports.

In the 2016 fiscal year, Norfolk had 270 sexual assault reports, Ford Hood had 199, the Naval Base in San Diego had 187, Camp Lejeune in North Carolina had 169, Camp Pendleton in California had 157, and Fort Bragg in North Carolina had 146 reports, cited by Stars and Stripes.

Outside the US, the American bases in South Korea had a logged a total of 211 reports of sexual assault.

It is important to note that the cases of sexual assault represent only those that were reported. The US Department of Defense (DoD) estimates that fewer than a third of victims report sexual assault cases.

In an annual report published by the DoD in May, an estimated 14,900 members of the US military were sexually assaulted in 2016.
