1. Why the NRA hates smart guns
I think the smart part should come on the other side of the hand holding the gun. If you hope for a hunk of metal to be smart, you’ve lost.
2. The way in which most Americans have heard the story of the Iran deal presented . . . was largely manufactured for the purpose for selling the deal. Even where the particulars of that story are true, the implications that readers and viewers are encouraged to take away from those particulars are often misleading or false.
Это делали те самые люди, которые наезжали на Буша за Ирак.
3. U.S. uncovers $20M H-1B fraud scheme
Я думаю, таких много.
4. В Остине, Техас выгнали Uber и Lift из города.
Недаром там большинство голосует за демократов. Если уж заповедник, так уж заповедник.
5. A student who says she is a girl and wishes to be regarded that way throughout the school day should be respected and treated like any other girl,” it says. “So too with a student who says he is a boy.” Students should be called by whatever name they wish (regardless of their legal name), and they have the right to use bathrooms and locker rooms of either sex in accordance with their wishes.
Жалко, что у нас в школе таких правил не было. Меня бы звали Лорд Император Повелитель Драконов и Защитник Мироздания Их Милостию Наш Повелитель Супермен Первый и Единственный. Естественно, сокращение имени не допускалось бы.

6. NYPD: Teacher Killed by Cop in Crosswalk “Assumed Risk” by Crossing Street
Иными словами, нью-йоркская полиция в суде утверждает, что переходя улицу - на зелёный свет - вы тем самым принимаете на себя риск быть задавленым полицейским.
7. Wisconsin Police Shot a Fleeing Hostage Without Warning, Then Misled the Public
Neenah PD said hostage Michael Funk ignored orders to drop his gun. Video shows officers never said a word before they shot him.
Обычный гражданин за такое бы сел. Те же стандарты должны применяться и к полиции.
Навстречу выборам
8. The Man Who Beat Donald Trump
Небезынтересное описание стиля и методов бизнеса Трампа.
9. 5 Arguments For Voting Trump And Why They Fail
10. In the event that the U.S. economy crashed, Donald Trump has floated a recovery plan based on his own experience with corporate bankruptcy: Pay America's creditors less than full value on the U.S. Treasurys they hold.
Нормально - бизнесмен Трамп регулярно банкротился, и все его ещё больше любили (а кто не любил - на того он сразу в суд подавал и давил на работодателя, чтобы его выгнали с работы). С чего президенту Трампу менять стратегию?
11. Nate Silver: This is delusional on the part of Trump's campaign. Math doesn't work.
I hope his hat tastes good.
12. Nate Silver: Why Republican Voters Decided On Trump
13. How John Roberts Begat Donald Trump.
Международная панорама
14. As Mexico condemns the tough new Arizona immigration law, Amnesty International published a new report Wednesday that details abuse suffered by Central American migrants in Mexico - often at the hands of officials.
Естественно, в Мексике с их собственными нелегальными мигрантами обращаются сильно хуже, чем в США
15. Swedish Jews NOT Invited To Holocaust Memorial Event Out Of Fear Of Upsetting Muslims
16. WaPo анализирует печальную ситуацию в Венесуэле. Что интересно - всё понимают насчёт тратить больше, чем зарабатывать, вреда национализации и жёстких регуляций, печати денег, как только правительству нужно.
Но только в Венесуэле.
17. Kuwait Airways из-за израильтян прекращает полеты внутри Европы
Я считаю, правильно - пусть дикарские компании работают в дикарских странах, а в нормальный мир не суются.
Старомыслы не нутрят ангсоц
18. Guess what is racist now? Tequila shots on Cinco de Mayo.
19. Oregon State University Will Force Incoming Students to Take 'Social Justice Training'
20. The California-based husband and wife founders of celebrity-endorsed vegan restaurant group Cafe Gratitude say they have received death threats after it was revealed last week that they are raising, slaughtering and eating animals on their farm north of San Francisco.
No fury like a vegan scorned.
21. Harvard University announced that members of independent, single-sex, off-campus organizations would be blacklisted from Rhodes and Marshall scholarships and banned from leadership of on-campus organizations or athletic teams.
22. In an effort to help young people involved in the justice system find jobs and housing, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today announced $1.75 million for Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and nonprofit legal service organizations to address the challenges justice-involved individuals face when trying to find work and a place to call home.
Чтоб вы поняли - young people involved in the justice system это так теперь именуются малолетние преступники.
23. A Justice Department division will no longer refer to people released from prison as “felons” or “convicts” because of the stigmatizing effects of the terms, an agency official announced in a Washington Post editorial Wednesday.
Instead, Assistant Attorney General Karol Mason said the “disparaging labels” will be replaced by “person who committed a crime” or “individual who was incarcerated.”
The correct terms for Tea Party members and anybody right of Obama in general is still “bigots”, “racists” and “crazy tea baggers”.

24. Three New York college students who said they were targets of a racially motivated attack face multiple charges for what prosecutors are calling a false claim.
A grand jury on Monday indicted Ariel Agudio, Asha Burwell and Alexis Briggs, all 20, each on a charge of third-degree assault and multiple counts of falsely reporting an incident, the Albany District Attorney’s Office said.
Отлично, впаять каждой по паре месяцев тюрьмы и чувствительный штраф - сразу пропадёт охота устраивать фальшивые инциденты.

25. Sorry, Environmentalists: Buffalo Were Saved From Extinction by Capitalism
Nothing to be sorry about.
26. “Three generations of imbeciles are enough,” Holmes wrote in Buck v. Bell, an 8-1 ruling that permitted the state to forcibly sterilize deficient citizens.
That awkward moment in history when the leading legal minds decide it’s OK for the US government to forcibly sterilize US citizens.
27. Medical errors now the 3rd leading cause of death in the US
Будьте здоровы.
28. Велосипедия
29. Prof Wilson's team did the electric shock experiment to try to find out if quiet, solo thinking was unpleasant enough that people would actually prefer something nasty to happen. Sure enough, 18 of 42 people, more of them men than women, chose to give themselves at least one mild shock on the ankle when left alone for 15 minutes.
For some, thinking is a novel and very unpleasant experience.
30. 78% of Reddit Threads With 1,000+ Comments Mention Nazis
As per Godwin’s law.
