- Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has
ordered the
withdrawal of National Guard troops from Ferguson as protests
have begun to subside. - Britain’s Ministry of Defense estimates there are
more British Muslims fighting on behalf of the Islamic State
(ISIL) in Syria and Iraq than serving in their own forces, though
it’s difficult to determine exact numbers. - The whole “Fast and Furious” issue/scandal is not over, and
we’re not just referring to the tragic, too-soon death of Paul
Walker. A federal judge has
ordered the Department of Justice to hand over some documents
about the gunwalking scandal to Congress. - Colorado voters will decide in November whether to
require labels on foods with genetically modified
ingredients. - A judge has
overturned North Carolina’s school voucher program as
unconstitutional, forcing kids from poor families (but not rich
ones, of course) to stay stuck in their terrible public
schools. - Vicodin and similar types of pain medications will be shifted
from Schedule III to Schedule II in mid-October, making them
harder for people to get from doctors and probably driving up
their black market value, increasing the possibility of criminal
behavior for addicts to get their hands on them. Thanks, war on
drugs!
