Document details death of lawman who killed Billy the Kid
Officials in a southern New Mexico county have found a century-old document inside a box of unarchived records that sheds light on the death of the Old West lawman who gained fame for killing Billy the Kid. Dona Ana County officials say the 1908 coroner's jury report refers to the investigation of the death of Pat Garrett, who served as sheriff in Lincoln and Dona Ana counties before being appointed as a customs collector along the U.S.-Mexico border. Garrett died Feb. 29, 1908. Not only did they find new documentation involving the murder of Pat Garrett, but there are plans to make it accessible to the public.

Journalists drink too much, are bad at managing emotions, and operate at a lower level than average, according to a new study

Ten Ironic Moves by Pro-Choice Media Activists
The pro-choice movement is often illogical. Here are ten examples of the irony that abounds among its proponents.
Sneering CBS: Ailes’s Success at Fox Due to ‘Fostering and Exploiting Divisions’
The sneering reaction to the death of Roger Ailes continued on CBS, Friday. NPR’s David Folkenflik attacked the Fox News founder for “fostering and exploiting divisions.” He also insisted that FNC encouraged the “emphasis on opinion rather than reporting.” As though liberal journalists on ABC, CBS and NBC haven’t been doing that for decades?

Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled in favor of Maryland attorney John Taylor, a drone hobbyist who challenged the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) illegal December 2015 regulation requiring recreational drone users to register with the FAA prior to flying.

Why the EU doesn't get China's Belt and Road
Given that the conceptual outline is focused on the Eurasian continent, Europe has an opportunity to re-craft its relations with China in a way that connects with the leadership and potentially has a game-changing impact across the continent the two powers share. It is not enough for European officials to simply tell the press that they do not understand the Belt and Road – the vision is clear enough, the point is to decide how to engage with it.

Here's one Way to Address the Brutality of the Kim Regime
Many North Korean refugees say that, had they not gained access to information, they might never have known that there is a better life beyond the 38th parallel. China may be found guilty of aiding and abetting crimes against humanity due to its forcible repatriation of North Korean refugees. The Kim regime has forcibly starved its people and perpetrated severe sexual violence against women. In 2013, Laos and China forcibly repatriated nine North Korean children. Two of them are thought to have been executed. Sens. Rubio, Cardin, Gardner, Menendez, and Cruz introduced legislation to reauthorize the North Korean Human Rights Act (NKHRA).
Yes: Tax Money Shouldn't Shore Up Blatantly Biased TV and Radio
A government $20 trillion in debt has just extended – not eliminated, as promised – funding for a public broadcaster that regularly infuriates and offends half the country. The recently enacted Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017 not only gave the Corporation for Public Broadcasting its regular $495 million sweetsop, Congress also threw in another $50 million to upgrade its "interconnection system."

Jesuits Return 525 Acres to Rosebud Sioux Tribe
On Tuesday, May 2, the Jesuit-run St. Francis Mission announced it will return more than 500 acres to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. The land is within the boundaries of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, and has been held by the St. Francis mission since the 1880s. Generally, the history between the Jesuits and Native Americans is marred with colonial onslaughts on indigenous lands, cultures and life ways. The Jesuits seek to change this course and, evidently, make amends with Native peoples.
