Costa Rica president details plan to become world’s first plastic and carbon-free country by 2021…
April 11, 2019
Costa Rica is a country where many ex-pats migrate to and call home. They don't even have an army. They are also a major tax haven and are part of the UN’s Sustainable Development Agenda. Costa Rica is one giant experiment. Also of note, carbon free is very different from carbon neutral. Carbon free is basically impossible for a country. "Carbon Free" implies killing all living things. It might be a mis-translation by the author, or the president himself might just be a puppet without any real knowledge of what he's talking about - sold out to the UN.

Good Guy with a Gun – Son Shoots, Kills Home Invator Suspect Who Pistol-Whipped Father…
April 11, 2019
Authorities told ABC13 it all started when his father returned to their home on Quail Meadow Drive, where the three suspects hid in the bushes waiting for him to get back... While the suspects ransacked the home, the family's two daughters, who ended up hiding in a closet, pushed the panic alarm inside their home. The suspects forced the father to try to disable the alarm, but he couldn't because his daughters continued to push it. That's when the intruders realized more people were home. They eventually found the daughters, one of whom is 20 years old. The other is 15 years old. During the home invasion, the son and mother arrived home at the same time but in separate vehicles. The son noticed something was wrong, went inside the house and grabbed his pistol, shooting at the suspects as they left, officials say.

It appears too that it could boost the performance of lithium-ion batteries... The material is a good conductor of electricity and heat. It also exhibits superconductivity. Another exciting prospect is that it can be created in different arrangements, each with a unique set of properties. So you may be able to build borophene to be, for example, especially conductive or particularly strong... So is it all good news? No. Creating the material currently requires you to perform chemical vapor deposition of boron on a silver substrate...

April 11, 2019
Maryanne Trump Barry, 82, retired Wednesday, but filed to leave the bench in February, 10 days after a judicial conduct council said it was investigating complaints about her conduct, according to the New York Times.
The original investigation came after a report about how the wealth from Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was transferred to the president and his siblings to avoid taxes. Fred Trump, who died in 1999, was a real estate titan who had accrued millions during his lifetime. Barry is reported to have earned $182.5 million from her father’s empire.
Two-Thirds of Americans Oppose Slavery Reparations…
April 11, 2019
Exactly two-thirds of Americans (66 percent) oppose paying reparations for slavery, while only 21 percent believe it to be a good idea, according to a poll from Rasmussen.
Rasmussen asked 1,000 likely voters if they agreed with a Democrat plan to use taxpayer dollars as a means to apologize for legalized slavery, which was outlawed 150 years ago and after a Civil War that resulted in the deaths of some 600,000 Americans. By a wide margin, Americans understandably oppose the absurd idea of paying a penalty for something they had nothing to do with. And the fact that those payments would go to people removed by generations from the abomination of legalized slavery is just as ludicrous.Trump Signs Executive Order on Promoting Energy Infrastructure and Economic Growth…

Barr Confirms Multiple Intel Agencies Implicated In Anti-Trump Spy Operation…
April 11, 2019
While it is important that the top law enforcement in the United States publicly acknowledged that the Obama administration and its intelligence agencies surveilled its domestic political opponents during the heat of a presidential election, it is what he said next that was most startling: that the CIA and other federal agencies in addition to the FBI may have been involved. “I’m not talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly,” he said.

Sara Carter: Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok Could Face Serious Charges…
April 11, 2019
Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok could face ‘serious’ charges for his involvement and actions in the bureau’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server to send classified emails, as well as the FBI’s investigation into President Trump’s campaign, multiple sources with knowledge of Strzok’s actions told SaraACarter.com.
Further, sources contend that the nearly year long investigation by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, will reveal explosive information and shed light on alleged malfeasance by FBI and DOJ officials directly involved in the Russia investigation. The Inspector General’s report may be completed as early as May or June, according to testimony provided this week by Attorney General William Barr.
