Police are keeping a list of people who tell offensive jokes by Simon Black for Sovereign Man
Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, your finances, and your prosperity… and on occasion, poetic justice.
Hillary Clinton’s Email Scandal Just Rose From the Dead
Ignorance of the law is no excuse for you or me.
But somehow when Hillary Clinton broke the law while Secretary of State, it was her intentions that mattered.
As everyone knows by now, Clinton stored confidential, top secret emails on a personal, unsecured email server while she was Secretary of State.

They guy may have been way too sophomoric… but when did it become a crime to be immature and offensive?
And now free speech is being monitored for signs of criminality.
Plus, with certain types of background checks, potential employers could see that these innocent people have been logged social media posts deemed to be offensive by the government.
