UPDATED: Friday, January 14, 2011 11:40 am cst PUBLISHERS NOTE: We've published the basic jist of a non-situation that occurred THIRTEEN (13) years ago.This is what former LRPD officer Jolly calls accusing the Little Rock Police Chief of hiring a known Klu Klux Klan member five years ago. This is quite anomalous to begin with. We will publish our fully vetted article on these bogus allegations very soon.    False allegations hurt all parties. LRPD has no one to blame but themselves for this FUBAR, though.  UPDATE: My staff and I have spent some time discussing whether a "full" article is even worth our time or yours regarding this fabrication. We have decided that this article pretty much says it all.   I manage a hot dog cart franchise in Arkansas on the behalf and benefit of my tribe, the 1803 Louisiana Purchase American Creole Indian Nation.  We have been in official operation in Little Rock since 2003.   We have seen cops come

Steve D. Jones Fort Smith Gun Rights Examiner Barely four hours had elapsed after the horrific murders had taken place in Tucson, Arizona, before anti-gun Arkansas Times blogger Max Brantley began dancing in the blood of Representative Gabrielle Giffords, hardly allowing time for it to clot. While normal human beings are attempting to grieve over this event, liberal blogger Brantley is using it to emotionally sway opinion, probably before the next-of-kin had been notified. Brantley is blatantly accusing open carry, the Tea Party and Sarah Palin of instigating this attack, even though he has no proof any of these three pushed accused murderer Jared Loughner to commit murder. There is no evidence this man was open carrying. Brantley admitted in his column (after he tries to lead all readers into a mob lynching): “There is, of course, no way to know if the shooting today was related to gun issues or other hot-button issues that roil Arizona, such as i

AG: Racial profiling hotline now live Originally Posted on 07 May 2007 Arkansas News Bureau LITTLE ROCK — Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced today the launch of the Racial Profiling Hotline to accept complaints by citizens that have experienced or witnessed what they believe to be racial profiling by law enforcement. Act 768 of 2009, sponsored by Sen. Hank Wilkins, D-Pine Bluff, establishes the hotline. As a result of the complaints, the attorney general will create a report outlining the complaints received and provide it annually to the Legislative Council and Task Force on Racial Profiling. Wilkins sponsored legislation during the legislative session earlier this year to make not wearing a seat belt a primary offense, meaning it could be the sole reason for a traffic stop. That bill, which has been signed into law, drew objections from groups such as the NAACP that said it would open the door to racial profiling. “While I still believe, and certainly hop

January Hume Counsels Tiger Woods To Ditch Buddhism To "Make A Total Recovery."  On the January 3 edition of  Fox News Sunday , Brit Hume  commented  on the scandal surrounding golfer Tiger Woods: "He is said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption offered by the Chnristian faith.

" Hume's attack on Buddhism was  criticized by religious leaders , but endorsed by Hume's Fox News colleagues  Tucker Carlson  and  Fred Barnes . Hume  stood by his comments  despite the criticism.
