The US Military Has Responded To Plans To Storm Area 51

Over the last week, a new Internet meme has taken off.  Someone on Facebook thought (correctly) that it would be a funny idea to create an event inviting everyone to gather together on one day and storm Area 51. Unless you have been living in an underground military facility for the past 70 years, you probably know about Area 51. It is a highly classified part of the Edwards Air Force Base in Lincoln County, Nevada. According to conspiracy theorists, it is a facility where they store aliens or alien spacecraft recovered during the “Roswell incident”, or just a place where aliens are studied in secret, away from the rest of the world.  The prankster’s idea is simple: “We will all meet up …

William Barr’s decision in Eric Garner’s case is a disgrace

(CNN)The Justice Department announced on Tuesday that it would not be pursuing federal charges against Daniel Pantaleo, the NYPD officer accused of fatally choking Eric Garner, who was approached by police for allegedly selling loose cigarettes.

This does nothing but further the racial divide and lead to ongoing mistrust between communities and law enforcement. The Justice Department’s decision makes this divide even deeper. No federal charges for NYPD officer …
