We'd Return Your Seized Property, Except We Already Sold It
After 8 years in court, Michiganders Gerald and Royetta Ostipow finally prevailed when a judge ordered the return of virtually everything that had been taken from them. But the Ostipows’ victory was short-lived, for they soon discovered that the Saginaw County Sheriff’s Office had sold their property years ago, while their forfeiture case was still being actively litigated. It is alarming that police, sheriffs, and prosecutors can profit from the forcible seizure of property, while property owners are afforded so few due process rights.

Hillary Will Tax You to Death... And Then Tax You for Dying

The Real Fury: Patton’s Disastrous 1945 Raid to Rescue His Son-in-Law
In February 1943, the U.S. Army had its first major engagement with the forces of Nazi Germany, ending with their disastrous defeat at the Kasserine Pass in Tunisia. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the ‘Desert Fox,’ had gotten the better of them in what would be his last major victory against the Allies. Following the engagement, newly promoted Allied Lieutenant General George S. Patton took over command of the U.S. II Corps from Major General Lloyd Fredendall, who was blamed for the battle’s outcome. For Patton, his new command also allowed him to deal with a family problem—his son-in-law, Lieutenant Colonel John K. Waters had been taken prisoner during the battle. It was to be nearly two years before Patton had the chance to free his son-in-law.
