During a terrifying bank robbery in Stockton, California, last week, three robbers entered the Bank of West Branch with handguns and an AK-47. They took three women hostage and sped off.

Two of the women survived after being flung from or jumping out of the moving SUV. The third, Misty Holt-Singh, a 41-year-old mom, was used as a human shield. She died. There is no good side to this story, but there is one thing to note: Holt-Singh had been running this errand with her 12-year-old and allowed the girl to wait in the car. In other words, she did exactly what so many public service announcements-and busybodies and cops-tell parents not to do. She left her daughter unsupervised in a car.

"The police are worthless. I don't know what we're paying them for."

That familiar, despairing lament was voiced by a friend here in Payette after his family had lost $20,000 worth of property a burglary. The crime was solved before the police intervened: Some of the pilfered property was still in possession of the suspects, who admitted that it didn't belong to them. Working on their own initiative, my friend and his adult daughter - the primary victim - tracked down more of the stolen goods at local yard sales and garage sales. A phone call to the Payette PD led to a visit by an officer who was courteous, professional, and who provided no practical help of any kind. He did arrest one suspect, a mentally deficient man who readily admitted to the officer that he had taken the property because an unspecified "they" had told him it was "all right" to do so.

What do the President and the Wizard of Oz have in common?

As Washington Times reports, documentary filmmaker Joel Gilbert caught up with Joseph for his new film "There's No Place Like Utopia." And now, instead of giving him savior-like qualities, she's more apt to compare him to a movie character: the Wizard of Oz. "The little man behind the curtain, not who we thought or expected him to be." It's quite the harsh reality to face, but we all had to get there - good for you, Ms. Joseph, for seeing the President for what he really is!

With tens of thousands of SWAT raids a year, it is only a matter of time before it's your son, your daughter, your mother or your father, that is victimized by the leviathan that is Police State USA.

A 17-year-old girl, honor roll student, cheerleader and lifeguard, with no prior record whatsoever, has been hospitalized after a run-in with Clairton, PA police.

The reason for the stop near an ice cream shop was that the 17-year-old was in violation of the town's government mandated bed time for everyone younger than 18, also known as a curfew. This sinister young woman who dared risk the disintegration of societal order by being outside after 10 p.m. was approached by the heroic Clairton police destined to protect the town from this dangerous villain. Upon their approach she fled the scene, and apparently for good reason. After her capture she was beaten so bad that she was hospitalized.
