Is Arizona doing enough to protect children from potentially dangerous parents?

October 30, 2011

HEAR ME OUT: Is the state doing enough to protect children from potentially dangerous parents? There's a debate on whether or not the current system with CPS is ideal.

The State uses Child Protective Services employees to monitor potentially dangerous situations. CPS states on its website that the organization "receives, screens and investigates allegations of child abuse and neglect." Employees with CPS have recently been criticized for not doing enough to protect children who have died while in the care of their legal guardian or a foster home.

The President is trying once again to eliminate the estate tax and his critics have come up with some extreme comparisons on who it will impact.

Senator Bernie Sanders has compiled a list of what he calls the winners and losers. The family that owns the Nordstrom department stores? Sanders figures they'd get to save $826 million dollars if the tax is repealed.

Jobs 'Saved or Created' in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist

In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending.

At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says. There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

How did America's police become a military force on the streets?

Are cops constitutional? In a 2001 article for the Seton Hall Constitutional Law Journal, the legal scholar and civil liberties activist Roger Roots posed just that question.

Roots, a fairly radical libertarian, believes that the U.S. Constitution doesn't allow for police as they exist today. At the very least, he argues, police departments, powers and practices today violate the document's spirit and intent. "Under the criminal justice model known to the framers, professional police officers were unknown," Roots writes. The founders and their contemporaries would probably have seen even the early-19th-century police forces as a standing army, and a particularly odious one at that. Just before the American Revolution, it wasn't the stationing of British troops in the colonies that irked patriots in Boston and Virginia; it was England's decision to use the troops for everyday law enforcement.

De-Railing Security Bugs

A List Apart

by Jeff Lembeck

February 5, 2013

Security should always be at the forefront of your mind when developing on the web, and for Ruby and Rails developers that has definitely been the case recently.

Multiple exploitations over the last month have sounded the alarms for anyone that has a Ruby or Ruby on Rails app deployed. How does this affect you? These bugs allow "attackers to bypass authentication systems, inject arbitrary SQL, inject and execute arbitrary code, or perform a DoS attack on a Rails application." To break that down: the attacker will have the full ability to run code on your system. With this security opening, they can now take over your server, and it doesn't stop there.

A woman from Carbondale claims she suffered emotional and mental distress during an active shooter training exercise she claims she didn't know she was a part of.

Michelle Meeker is suing the Carbondale police chief and an officer. Her employer, the Heritage Park Care Center, where the exercise occurred October 13, 2013, is also listed in the complaint. In a complaint received by 9NEWS Tuesday, Meeker claims she was taken hostage by a man with a gun while at work at the assisted living center in Carbondale. Meeker says the gunman held her against her will while she begged for her life. According to the complaint, what she did not know at the time was that the man with the gun was a Carbondale police officer, and it was all a part of an active shooter drill that was taking place. Meeker claims that she was not informed of the training and suffered severe mental and emotional distress since the incident.

FYI, Minimum Wage Hikes and Universal Preschool are Proven Failures

President Barack Obama's State of the Union address last week was the lowest rated since Bill Clinton's swansong in 2000. If you feel it's hard to get excited about the rubbish this guy continues to peddle, you're not alone.

Among the tedious list of bromides and half-truths, two objectives seem to stand out in Obama's speech - raising the minimum wage to $9.00 per hour, and establishing a universal preschool entitlement. I wish I could say it's not often the POTUS advocates policies that are unsupported by available evidence. Since I can't say that, let's review the evidence that shows minimum wage hikes and government preschool are bad ideas.

Hillary Clinton Loses It

February 23, 2008

Does Hillary think voters are stupid? Her rant was filmed in OHIO, where they have lost more than 200K jobs to NAFTA.

Does she really think all those families don't know who passed that legislation into law, and they are well aware that she supported it. Rather than casting a negative light on Obama, she has made herself look foolish and only drawn MORE attention to her support of NAFTA.

Congressman Trey Gowdy Silences the Press

May 12, 2014

Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) turned the tables on the media and asked them questions about Benghazi . The silence was deafening.

Best video clip I've seen in months. I hope you watch it ~ it's only 3 minutes. The Media should be embarrassed by Congressman Trey Gowdy's questions. Oh, you will like this one. This is most certain the most embarrassing event that has occurred in the last 16 months. The burden falls on the media who have not done anything to investigate this. If I were to measure BIG events the media touted in the Last 40 years, I would rank this above the Nixon Watergate Scandal!!! So - why has this gone for over a year without a peep from the media??? You tell me!!!
