TOKYO (AP) — Japanese police arrested a U.S. Marine in the alleged robbery and murder of a woman on Okinawa, officials said Sunday, the latest criminal case on the southern island where the heavy American troop presence has remained a sensitive issue. The Okinawa prefectural police said they arrested a 20-year-old Marine stationed at the Futenma Air Station on suspicion of killing a 39-year-old local woman at a hotel in Naha, Okinawa’s capital city, and taking her wallet and backpack in the early hours of Saturday. Kyodo News agency, citing the police, reported the woman’s body was found in her…

Folks who get their news from the gun control lobby must be absolutely terrified to leave their homes these days, what with all of the violent crime that groups like Giffords, Brady, and Everytown claim is about to be unleashed because of the Trump administration. They probably have no idea that homicides are at their lowest level since at least 1950, and that violent crime is trending down nationwide as well. That information isn’t helpful to their anti-gun crusade, so instead of acknowledging the good news they’re constantly predicting that things are going to get…

The U.S. Senate blocked a measure Sept. 29 that would have required the State Department to account for the deaths of nine Americans in the West Bank. The 47-51 procedural vote stopped a resolution seeking information about killings attributed to Israeli security forces or settlers. Senators declined to advance a mandatory accounting of American deaths involving a country receiving U.S. security assistance. The division fell almost entirely along party lines. Every Republican who voted opposed advancing the measure, except Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. Every Democrat who voted supported it, except Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. Both independent senators—Bernie Sanders…

Washington Irving’s Headless Horseman is supposed to be a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannonball during the Revolutionary War. Strangely enough, that actually happened. Just days after the Battle of White Plains in 1776, Continental Army Maj. Gen. William Heath recorded American cannon fire that “took off the head of a Hessian artilleryman.” Whether that grisly death eventually became the ghost galloping through The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is harder to prove. A 1792 map by D. Martin shows American and British troop positions around White Plains, N.Y., during the 1776 campaign. The battle and fighting that…

An air ambulance carrying six people may have been “coming in blind” with electrical problems when a storm loomed ahead of it early Saturday shortly before it vanished in the waters off Nantucket. The pilot reported electrical problems and declared an emergency as it approached the coast on the flight from Bermuda, according to air traffic control audio posted by LiveATC.net. “Roger, you said you’re coming in blind. Is that what you said?” a controller can be heard asking the pilot. That makes Mary Schiavo, who is a former Inspector General of the Transportation Department, think the plane may have…
The reason most of us have a gun is to protect ourselves and our loved ones… and maybe even strangers if need be. There’s also the fact that guns are cool as hell, of course, but we have them primarily because we want to protect our families and, by extension, ourselves. So-called safe storage laws exist ostensibly for safety reasons, but we tend to object to them for a few reasons, up to and including the fact that they make it harder to act in self-defense should the firearm be needed.This matters today because, well,…
LONDON (AP) — A dual U.K.-Iranian national arrested on suspicion of plotting a terror attack following a security incident at a U.S.-run military air base in England has been released on bail, authorities said Saturday. The 25-year-old man was arrested Thursday in London on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts close to the RAF Fairford air base, which has been used by American bombers to strike Iran. He was the sixth person taken into custody and then released on bail as detectives investigate the incident. British authorities have linked the incident to Tehran. The five other men were not named, but…
