Philadelphia police say 75 Antifa protesters were in the area of Broad and Arch Streets around 11:30 a.m. During the protest, police say, several members started to fight with police. Sixteen Antifa protesters were arrested. Nine of those protesters were issued citations and seven were charged with disorderly conduct.

The Blue Lives Matter March, organized by a popular group called Sports Beer & Politics II, began at 10:30 a.m. Saturday on Market Street.

The next attack on “free range parenting”

Another incident out of Illinois caught my attention this week, the latest is a series of stories about parents getting in trouble with the law for alleged abuse of their children. The form of abuse this time? Allowing a child to walk the family dog around the block. On August 2nd, Corey Widen, of the village of Wilmette, made the mistake of allowing her daughter (age 8) to take their Maltese puppy for a walk around the block. The walk was uneventful and both child and dog returned home without incident.

This would have been an unremarkable moment in virtually any American household, and it seemed to be just that… until the police arrived. Someone had seen her daughter out on her walk unsupervised and called the cops. The police investigated, interviewed everyone involved and left without filing any charges. That would have been bad enough, but the story didn’t end there. (Daily Mail, emphasis added)

The anonymous tipster who had called the police on Widen then reached out to the Department of Children and Family Services.

Caseworkers from the agency visited the Widens’ home, interviewed her 17-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter, as well as their pediatrician and other family members.

Two weeks into the investigation, the DCFS informed Widen’s attorney that officials have found nothing to suggest child neglect and closed the case.

Widen says the entire process has caused her family undue stress, but officials with child services point out that they have an obligation to the public to look into all complaints.

This is all too reminiscent of the stories we heard from Lenore Skenazy, author of the book, Free-Range Kids, How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children. It’s a difficult subject, as is anything having to do with the safety of children, but there’s a point to be made about how too much protection can leave children unprepared to face the real world when the time comes. It’s definitely true that authorities have to investigate all complaints, but they have to be able to use their own discretion. In the end, it’s the responsibility of the parents to make these decisions, taking factors such as the safety of the neighborhood into account.

In this case, Ms. Widen probably didn’t have that much to worry about. The village of Wilmette is not that far to the north of Chicago, but it’s nothing like the inner city. It’s a little town of roughly 27,000 people. Looking at City-Data.com, the village has one of the lowest crime ratings on the scale. In 2016 they had a grand total of zero murders, three rapes, three robberies and five assaults. (Oh, and there were eleven cars stolen, just to be fair.) Noplace in the country is 100% safe, but Wilmette is pretty calm. Ms. Widen can see nearly the entire block her daughter walks around with the dog from the windows of their home.

When someone sees a child walking a dog, should their first reaction be to call the police or to perhaps ask the kid where she lives and maybe even check with the parents to make sure everything is okay? Even if they do call the cops, once the police investigate and determine that everything is alright, calling CFS and having them open a (permanent) file on the family seems over the top. At that point, the good Samaritan has become a nuisance.

I understand that a child abduction can happen anywhere. Believe me, I get it. But if you’re at least somewhat vigilant and know your neighbors and your neighborhood, it’s a manageable risk if that’s how you want to raise your child. Have we really fallen so far in terms of a cohesive society that we have to raise our children in bubble wrapped rooms until they turn 18? They need to be aware of their surroundings and learn what to do if a stranger approaches, but never allowing them a moment alone can’t be good for them either.

Report: Data file containing millions of Texas voter records left exposed online

A massive file of voter records left unsecured online has exposed personal information on millions of Texas residents, TechCrunch reported.

The single file — stored on an unsecured server with no password — contains about 14.8 million records, the report stated.

Why does it matter?

The discovery comes at a time when nation states are actively trying to influence elections and a long string of online security breaches have left many people feeling concerned about privacy and safety.

TechCrunch reportedly reviewed the file, which was first discovered by a New Zealand-based data breach hunter who goes by the pseudonym Flash Gordon. It was not clear exactly where the exposed file was found.

The file is about 16 gigabytes in size and contains “dozens of fields, including personal information like a voter’s name, address, gender and several years’ worth of voting history, including primaries and presidential elections,” according to the report.

Some of the voter information is typically considered public. Generally, that information can include your name, street address, party affiliation, election participation, phone number, and email address. Each state sets its own limitations on what’s public.

How is the information used?

Although the most basic information might be somewhat benign, data brokers that get a hold of it are able to work it into something very personal.

“That’s where this file fills in the gaps with dozens of other fields, which can be used by campaigns to position their political messaging,” TechCrunch reported. “For example, the data includes fields that might score an individual’s believed views on immigration, hunting, abortion rights, government spending and views on the Second Amendment.”

Other personal information included phone numbers, ethnicity, and race.

Exactly when the data was compiled was not known, but it appears to have been ready for the 2016 presidential race. For example, data was used to create predictive “scores.” that included whether people had “trust” or “no trust” for then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Has this happened before?

It’s not known if the data file is a subset of the leak of 198 million voter records that was found last year. And since there is no “owner” to inform about the exposed information, the data may still be online, the report stated.

Fake News defends racism and genocide in South Africa

Fake News defends racism and genocide in South Africa
After President Trump asked Mike Pompeo to investigate what’s going on in South Africa, the fake news media immediately went on the attack. They published articles criticizing the President for expressing his concern and empathy for the plight of white South African farmers, that live in fear of being murdered for their land and possessions. And, although the story has been widely publicized in Russia and Australia for years, the media has concealed it from the American people.

Mall Where Jacksonville Shooting Occurred is Gun-Free Zone

The horrible shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, occurred at Jacksonville Landing, a gun-free mall.

Breitbart News reported that gunfire erupted at a Madden Tournament in Jacksonville, leaving multiple wounded, multiple dead.Fox News reports that the tournament was being held at the Good Luck and Have Fun bar in Jacksonville Landing, “a shopping center and event space.”

Jacksonville Landing’s “Rules of Conduct” clearly prohibit the possession of firearms, including firearms by those who have gone through the legal process to obtain a concealed carry permit in order to carry a firearm for self-defense.

The rules say, “Possession of a weapon, even if legally carried (except by law enforcement officers) is absolutely prohibited on Landing property.”

Constitutional attorney Mark W. Smith, author of #Duped: How the Anti-gun Lobby Exploits the Parkland Shooting, and How Gun Owners Can Fight Back, observed, “‎I am sure the anti-gunners will yet again Blame the Gun, and then claim all law-abiding gun owners are to blame. Isn’t that interesting. When an Islamic Terrorist blows up something, we are told that not all Muslims are terrorists. When an illegal immigrant kills a young American student, we are told not all illegal immigrants from Mexico are killers. Yet when a crazy violent psycho shoots someone with a gun, then all gun owners and the NRA (and it’s members) are to blame and should be punished.  It is a clear double standard.”

Kathy Griffin Trashes Trump on McCain. Forgets Her Own Sick McCain Comments.

It took less than 24 hours for liberals to find fault with President Donald Trump’s response after it was announced that Arizona Senator John McCain died Saturday, losing his battle with brain cancer.

It’s no secret the president and the senator weren’t the closest of friends, or even allies.

There were public verbal assaults shot in both directions as Trump rose in politics and at times they were more than colorful, crossing into the offensive. However, few public comments may have been more offensive than that of Kathy Griffin when she responded, on Twitter, to the president’s condolences at the senator’s passing.

The vulgar language is present in the original tweet. It’s been redacted here.

Kathy Griffin tweet about the death of Sen. John McCain was as vile as it was obscene.

In another, less caustic post, she used the opportunity to post yet another insult directed at the president.

Here’s the rub with Kathy Griffin. She’s a loudmouth, yes. She’s bombastic and a unabashedly liberal. But she also seems to have a short memory.

It would seem that Griffin wasn’t the fan of John McCain that she professes in her above tweets. How embarrassing. The Twitter population reminds her at the most opportune time.

The internet is an amazing thing. Nothing ever really goes away for good. And Kathy Griffin is about to be reminded of that fact.

She was certainly vocal in her distaste for McCain when he chose Sarah Palin as a running mate.

Maybe we aren’t the only ones who think Griffin is far off into left field with her comments.

It’s so very sad that an event such as anyone’s death — much less a hero like McCain’s — can elicit such harsh and vulgar reactions from anyone in the public eye.

Is Kathy Griffin exploiting the passing of John McCain to get more press?

What is undeniable here is Griffin is behaving like a hypocrite.

Opportunistic doesn’t even begin to describe how she pounced on this so shortly after McCain’s death. It appears she is exploiting the unfortunate circumstances of a senator’s passing to get some additional media attention.

And she seems to have no shame in doing so.

New court docs reveal duo from New Mexico compound planned terror attack in this major US city

After a New Mexico judge bonded the five Islamic radicals accused of training nearly a dozen children to become school shooters, newly filed court documents reveal at least two of the suspects planned a terror attack in Atlanta.

What are the details?

According to WSB-TV, court documents show the suspects sought to target Grady Memorial Hospital in downtown Atlanta, in addition to law enforcement and “specific targets such as teachers, schools, banks and other ‘corrupt’ institutions.”

Prosecutors revealed the stunning information in a 13-page document filed in court on Friday. They are asking a judge to reconsider granting the five suspects bail, citing the planned attacks and the tragic death of 3-year-old Abdul-Ghani Wahha.

Police have criminally charged the boy’s father, Siraj Wahha, and his partner, Jany Leveille, for his death.

To support their motion, prosecutors said they recovered a 10-page, handwritten document titled “Phases of a Terrorist Attack” from the remote New Mexico compound.

The document contains “instructions for ‘The one-time terrorist,’ instructions on the use of a ‘choke point,’ a location ‘called the ideal attack site,’ the ‘ability to defend the safe haven,’ the ‘ability to escape-perimeter rings,’ and ‘sniper position detection procedure,” the court filing said, according to CNN.

In a journal, Leveille “expressed her displeasure with Grady Hospital … due to the treatment she and her mother received there,” the court filings said. However, the document did not elaborate on what Leveille was referring to.

Additionally, the documents claim Leveille and other adults at the compound joked “about dying in Jihad,” while children admitted to receiving “advanced” firearms training and instructions to target law enforcement personnel “when the time came.”
