The greatest concentration of Amish is in northeast Ohio, about 78 miles south of Cleveland. Next in size is in northeastern Indiana. Then comes the Amish settlement in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Amish church groups seek to maintain a degree of separation from the non-Amish world, i.e. American and Canadian society. There is generally a heavy emphasis on church and family relationships. They typically operate their own one-room schools and discontinue formal education after grade eight, at age 13/14. Until the children turn 16, they have vocational training under the tutelage of their parents, community, and the school teacher.

The stated goal of Gunwalking was to continue to track the firearms as they were transferred to higher-level traffickers and key figures in Mexican cartels, with the expectation that this would lead to their arrests and the dismantling of the cartels.

The tactic was questioned by including ATF field agents and cooperating licensed gun dealers. During this operation, the largest "gunwalking" probe, the ATF monitored the sale of about 2,000 firearms, of which only 710 were recovered as of February 2012.

As of October 2011, none of the targeted high-level cartel figures had been arrested.
Guns tracked by the ATF have been found at crime scenes on both sides of the Mexico–United States border, and the scene where United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed December 2010. Dissenting ATF agents came forward to Congress in response.  Revelations of "gunwalking" led to controversy in both countries, and diplomatic relations were damaged.

Hillary Clinton offered a powerful message of resistance and hope during her commencement address to Wellesley College graduates, taking the opportunity to skewer President Donald Trump.
She returned to her alma mater 48 years after delivering the college’s first student commencement speech.


Clinton encouraged graduates to continue to “break glass ceilings” and defy sexism in politics. 
“Don’t let anyone tell you your voice doesn’t matter,” 

Clinton didn’t shy away from comparing Trump to former President Richard Nixon and warning against further polarization.  (The House Judiciary Committee had approved articles of impeachment against Nixon, but he actually resigned before the full House could vote on them.)

She also denounced the administration for its aggressive stance toward the media and willingness to embrace conspiracy theories.  Clinton also decried the Trump administration’s budget proposal, calling it “an attack of unimaginable cruelty on the most vulnerable among us.”

She should make it clean hopeful message and stay away from the rest. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Timothy Loehmann, the Cleveland police officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014, was fired because investigators found he wasn't truthful about his employment history when he applied for the job, officials said.

The officer who was with Loehmann, Frank Garmback, will be suspended for 10 days because he violated tactical rules relating to how he drove to the scene that day, the city's public safety director and the police chief said.

None of the rule violations announced by Public Safety Director directly related to Loehmann shooting Rice outside a recreation center as the boy held a toy gun on November 22, 2014.  The officers were responding to 911 call of someone holding a gun.
An Ohio grand jury declined to criminally charge the officers for the shooting.
