“A controversial federal judge thinks firing squads and guillotines should come back in style as the debate over executions in Arkansas rages on. Ninth Circuit Appeals Judge Alex Kozinski, in an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” set to air Sunday, said conducting lethal injections is a sham that masks that fact that people are getting killed. …When interviewer Lesley Stahl mentions that Kozinski favors death by firing squad, the longtime justice quips: “Never fails.” Then she brings up his support of the guillotine — a late-18th century device that chops off the head. “Well, you know, it’s 100% effective,” Kozinski said of the device made famous for beheading aristocrats during the French Revolution. “And it leaves no doubt that what we are doing is a violent thing. If we as a society are willing to take away human life, we should be willing to watch it.” –Source
On my site I have a page that goes into detail about the 30,000+ guillotines in American storage. I also did a radio broadcast on this years ago when I had a show on a Network Radio station that had a few AM, FM, Shortwave and Internet radio outlets that somehow ended up on YouTube after some people made videos on it. I actually posted all the info I had on this early on when I first started the website and a friend alerted me it appeared to be bogus and so I pulled the info but never deleted it so as to verify my sources.

“Israel’s High Court of Justice today ruled that supermarkets, entertainment centers, and pharmacies would be allowed to operate in Tel Aviv on the Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). The Court had to rule on the issue, after three years during which Ministers of the Interior Gideon Sa’ar, Silvan Shalom, and Aryeh Deri refrained from making a decision. …he special and separate arrangement for the Sabbath day reflects national Jewish culture, together with the important social values of democracy. At the same time, the arrangement includes an important democratic element at the local level making it possible to give more precise expression to the different characteristics of the population in every town and community.” –
“President Donald Trump, having already backtracked on several campaign pledges considered important to his populist-conservative base, sparked worry Tuesday he may decline to withdraw from an Obama-era climate change agreement. …Staying in the legally non-binding accord would be an abject betrayal to his supporters,” said Thomas Richard of Climate Change Dispatch, in an email to LifeZette. Richard noted that the accord is the kind of abusive agreement Trump used to bash as a “bad deal.” …But Trump is under pressure from moderate advisers to reconsider ahead of a late-May meeting of the G7. Trump would be expected to take grief from France and Canada were he to pull out of the Paris Accord.” –
“The new superior of the worldwide Jesuit religious order said recently that, as Jesus Christ’s words about marriage were never recorded, there is no basis for a “black and white” church doctrine centering on lifelong marriage between one man and one woman.
