Baltimore settles for $6.4 million, but officers ‘not guilty’
The third of six officers facing charges stemming from the death of Freddie Gray following his April 2015 arrest and death in Baltimore was found not guilty. Cesar Goodman, who drove the transport vehicle carrying Gray, was acquitted of the most serious charges. Continue reading
President Obama’s use of the word ‘we’
President Obama often uses the phrase, “that’s not who we are,” when arguing an issue that which most of us disagree, because his view of our country’s values is so different than ours. Continue reading
The evidence against Hillary Clinton is in, but so it seems is ‘the fix’
… read more“As used in this Agreement, classified information is marked or unmarked information, including oral communications, that is classified under the standards of Executive Order 12958, or under any other Executive order or statute that prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of information in the interest of national security; and unclassified information that meets the standards for classification and is in the process of a classification determination … I understand and accept that by being granted access to classified information, special confidence and trust shall be placed in me by the United States Government.”
Another ignominious ‘first’
