NYPD Officer Peter Liang is about to go on trial for second-degree manslaughter and other charges in the killing of an unarmed black man in a darkened stairwell 11-20-14 as reported earlier in this publication and elsewhere.  The cop intends to testify in his own defense.  Claims his gun went off accidentally.  So what?

Leave a child in a hot car and you get charged with manslaughter, convicted, and sent to prison.  Despite the fact the death was an accident.  Why shouldn't police be held to the very same standard?  Readers are reminded this jackbooted bastard spent 2 minutes arguing with his partner who should report the "accidental" firing.  Then delayed radioing in the report for a total of twenty minutes.  ... Leaving the victim with absolutely no care and dying.

It's amazing the gap in culture between the West and Pakistan.  Mohammad Anwar is a 15-year-old kid.   His Moslem cleric mistakenly accused him of blasphemy.  The boy went home, cut his hand off, and presented it on a plate to the cleric.

Amazing how legislators can be so shortsighted and judgmental.  Washington Republican state Rep. Mary Dye met with a handful of high school students during Planned Parenthood’s annual Teen Lobbying Day.  Asked them if they were virgins, and accused one of them of not being one .  The kids looked at the education specialist who quickly advised them not to answer.

The legislator quickly realized her faux pas and apologized.  ... Indeed, a disingenuous bullsh-t 'apology':

“Following a conversation they initiated on birth control for teenagers, I talked about the empowerment of women and making good choices — opinions shaped by my mother and being a mother of three daughters.

“In hindsight, a few of the thoughts I shared, while well-intended, may have come across as more motherly than what they would expect from their state representative.  If anything I said offended them or made them feel uncomfortable, I apologize.”

The students were lobbying the legislator for expanded insurance coverage for birth control.  Dye did not support their efforts.  Apparently, believes in abstinence only.  What a crock of sh-t.  Who the hell is this piece of crap to force her perverse religious views on any constituent, including the young?  This idiot and sad excuse for a legislator apparently prefers an unwanted pregnancy to easy availability of birth control.

Knows goddamned well these kids will have sex no matter what.  Does she truly believe unprotected sex preferable to providing what the young desperately need to prevent pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted diseases?  Clearly, Rep. Dye is so long in the tooth she's long since forgotten what it's like to be a teenage kid.

Remember the killing of motorist Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati by former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing?  Mr. DuBose's 'crime?'  No front license plate on his vehicle.  Imagine that.  The penalty for a missing plate is now execution by a jackbooted thug.  Where?  Where else?  Nazi America.

His survivors received a $5.3 million settlement.  A piss hole in the snow.  Mr. Tensing leaves behind 12 children.  Goddamned generous of the university, no?  The jackbooted thug has been charged with murder and pleaded not guilty.

Think the Republican Party 'conservative?'  Wake up.  The GOP agreed last year with Democrats and the President to spending hikes and massive new tax cuts this year that will lead to a deficit of $544 billion in fiscal 2016.  A 24% increase over last year.

Matthew Bissonnette is a former U.S Navy Seal.  Kept a top secret photo of the corpse of bin Laden on his hard drive, -- which he recently turned over to federal investigators.  Readers are reminded bin Laden was summarily executed by the SEALS despite offering no resistance to capture in 2011.  Bissonnette made millions off his book detailing the raid and has agreed to share some of it with the government.  Mighty generous of him, no?  The probe has been widened after investigators found additional material of interest on the hard drive.

The U.S. Supreme Court has taken a case challenging the President's use of Executive Orders to get around Congress vis a vis illegal immigration.

Reza Gul is a 22-year-old Afghan woman who had her nose cut off by her 25-year-old husband, Mohammad Khan.  This bastard has a second wife who is a 7-year-old kid.

Wanda and Smurf are two highly abused kittens who have closely bonded after being cruelly tortured by a truly sad sack of sick sh-t.  Report all animal abuse.  Not just because it's the right thing to do, but because many psychopaths start off abusing animals.  Only to 'graduate' to abusing, torturing, and/or killing humans.

Ever wonder how idiots like the District Attorney, County Attorney, County Judge, the Sheriff, etc. so easily get into office?  They undergo only a few weeks of scrutiny during the primary season.  Convenient for them, isn't it?  Forget?  All local elections are decided in the primaries.  Why?  No one believes they can win as a Democrat.

For a number of years, they've been right.  This makes it exponentially easier to avoid full public scrutiny.  A lot easier to do so when the electoral season no longer extends from spring to fall.  Certainly, facilitates ensconcement on the throne of the above carpetbaggers by the four Llano County families who truly believe they run and own this goddamned, godforsaken, hell hole County.  ... Right, Sonny Boy? Madam County Attorney?  Madam County Judge? Sheriff?  A raucous, boot clicking, goose stepping, treasonous, traitorous, treacherous Sieg Heil!?

Well-trained 'service' dogs are being quite effectively used to treat returning veterans suffering from acute post traumatic stress.  There is a gorgeous exceptionally well-behaved German Shepherd in Kingsland wearing an identifying vest providing such service to a guy who allows no one to talk to the dog stating "He's working."  Wears a holster himself on his right hip and appears to be a threat to no one.

Not clear whether it's open carry or used for some other purpose.  With the current atmosphere regarding gun violence, the fear of terror currently sweeping the country, as well as the lack of sufficient training by law enforcement personnel, this could be a catastrophe waiting to happen.  An innocent veteran could wind up injured or worse.

The effort to expose Wells Fargo egregious deceptive trade practices continues.  Months ago to determinedly apply renewed pressure on our truly worthless, egregiously self-serving Texas Attorney General, now Governor, an excoriating email was sent to the bastard.  Copies of which were also passed on to both offending Wells Fargo officers.  A copy was also sent to the Davis campaign and others.

Voters did have a right to know as Attorney General, the GOP candidate for Governor apparently selectively investigated, or not, bona fide complaints filed by citizens against banks too big to fail.  Possibly, Wells Fargo could have lined his pockets in some fashion.  That has yet to be determined.

The bastard and his office, no matter what, failed to respond to the complaint originally snail mailed over a year ago.  This material, figuratively targeting Wells Fargo and the governor 'wannabe' now Governor, had been posted and can be found by scrolling all the way down and clicking on the links well below.

Will continue to do all I can to publicly expose this to all, both in this publication and elsewhere.  Have done precisely that with the following email sent to Bob Clifton, Realtor, Texas Ranch Brokers.  A copy of it was also sent to offending Wells Fargo officer Amanda Wright.  She has, indeed, been promoted to branch manager. Reverse Darwinism.  Survival of the unfittest.

This young woman has indeed been rewarded by the Wells Fargo corporate management suite for engaging in criminal deceptive trade practices and her undying loyalty to her corporate masters.  The process to update those already informed of this fiasco has finally been completed.  This latest material can be found by clicking on Wells Fargo Deceptive Trade Practices Salvo 85, 1-22-16.
