FLORENCE, Colo. — In handwritten letters to hundreds of supporters and curiosity seekers, Unabomber Ted Kaczynski expressed shock over the 9/11 attacks and wrote that he preferred Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic presidential race.

Kaczynski also wrote to pen pals from federal prison in Colorado asking for more information about Osama bin Laden and the origins of al-Qaida, and has relied on others to inform him about the rise of the Internet and social media.

The correspondence was described in a report published by Yahoo News (http://www.yahoo.com/unabomber) early Monday. Yahoo News reporter Holly Bailey spent several weeks looking through Kaczynski's letters, which now fill more than 90 boxes at the University of Michigan Library.

The Labadie Collection, a special division of the library that documents the history of social protest movements, contacted him after his arrest to see if he would consider donating his writings. Kaczynski did not respond to a letter from Yahoo News asking why he has maintained the archive through the library.

Kaczynski's 35,000-word anti-technology manifesto was published in The New York Times and The Washington Post in 1995. He was arrested in April 1996 and convicted in 1998 after planting or mailing bombs that killed three people and injured more than two dozen others over several decades.

Now 73, he is imprisoned at the Federal Correctional Complex in Florence, Colorado, known as Supermax.

In 2010, Kaczynski engaged in a long back-and-forth with students at Huntingdon College in Alabama about the power of Facebook and how public figures like WikiLeaks' Julian Assange and the late conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart used the Internet to gain influence. But he admitted he didn't know what YouTube was or what it meant to go "viral."

The papers reveal that Kaczynski remains strongly opposed to technology. Yahoo News reports that he is not allowed access to the Internet, but he still solicits email addresses from letter writers to share with others as part of his efforts to create an anti-technology movement.

The letters also show he fell in love with one of his early pen pals, Joy Richards, and they suggest Kaczynski and Richards explored the idea of getting married. Richards died of cancer in late 2006, and Yahoo reports that some of the most anguished letters in the collection deal with the pain Kaczynski felt over her illness.

Kaczynski has not corresponded with his brother since learning that he was the one who turned him into authorities, according to Yahoo News. Kaczynski also "ignored repeated desperate overtures from his mother, Wanda, who wrote him constantly until she died in 2011."

FSU settles lawsuit with Winston's accuser

Guess they had a spare $950,000

Can't understand how FSU with over 40,000 students enrolled is held accountable for the actions of one of the students. Had he killed her would they be responsible for that too?

-----------------------------------------

Florida State has settled a federal Title IX lawsuit with Erica Kinsman, a former student who said she was raped by quarterback Jameis Winston in 2012.

The settlement was announced by her attorneys on Monday, more than a year after she initially filed the complaint in federal court.

FSU agreed to pay Kinsman $950,000 – an amount that includes attorney’s fees – as well as make a five-year commitment to awareness, prevention and training programs. The lump sum is the largest settlement for Title IX claims regarding indifference to a student’s sexual assault.

“I will always be disappointed that I had to leave the school I dreamed of attending since I was little,” Kinsman said in a statement. “I am happy that FSU has committed to continue making changes in order to ensure a safer environment for all students.”

FSU did not admit to liability in the settlement, which university president John Thrasher said the school agreed to in order to avoid additional litigation expenses.

“We have an obligation to our students, their parents and Florida taxpayers to deal with this case, as we do all litigation, in a financially responsible manner,” Thrasher said in a statement. “With all the economic demands we face, at some point it doesn’t make sense to continue even though we are convinced we would have prevailed.”

The settlement does not affect an ongoing Title IX investigation by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. Kinsman filed a complaint with the agency in early 2014 and it opened an investigation in April of that year.

In her lawsuit, which was settled in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Kinsman alleged that Florida State was “deliberately indifferent” to her reported sexual assault and that its response was “clearly unreasonable.” She asserted that FSU concealed and obstructed the investigation so as to allow Winston to play football.

Kinsman, who left FSU in November 2013 when the case became publicly know, argued that continued harassment denied her of her educational opportunities under Title IX.

As part of the settlement, FSU agreed to publish annual reports of its programs for the next five years.

In September 2014, FSU created the "KNOW MORE" campaign, seeking to educate students, faculty and staff about the meaning of consent, prevention, intervention and provide resources for sexual assault victims. The school has also hired a new Title IX coordinator, added six positions related to on-campus safety and published a Victims’ Rights and Resources handbook, among other initiatives.

FSU had previously tried to have Kinsman’s lawsuit dismissed, but Judge Mark E. Walker ruled in August that it could go forward.

FSU had argued that an “appropriate person” was not aware of the harassment Kinsman alleged and could not take corrective action.

The school had previously admitted that senior associate athletics director Monk Bonasorte and football coach Jimbo Fisher were aware of the rape allegation in January 2013, a month after Kinsman first reported to police, but did not notify the Title IX coordinator or the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

Before the lawsuit was settled, it was proceeding through discovery, with both parties taking depositions and gathering evidence.

In a Sept. 22 deposition, which was obtained by USA TODAY Sports, Fisher said that he was not aware of FSU’s policy about sexual battery around the time the allegation against Winston was first reported to police and initially investigated.

In a deposition previously released to USA TODAY Sports, Tallahassee police detective Scott Angulo admitted to missteps and other investigative steps that could have been taken in the early days of the criminal investigation when Kinsman first reported it in December 2012.

She alleged then that Winston raped her in his apartment after they had met at Potbelly’s, a bar near campus. The investigation sat dormant for nine months before state attorney Willie Meggs declined to file criminal charges in December 2013.

Winston was not found responsible of sexual misconduct following a FSU student conduct hearing in December 2014. He was the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft in April and is currently quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Kinsman sued him in April, and he countersued. That case is pending in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

Girls basketball team gets booted from league for being too good

I thought it might have been another case of lack of diversity. 

A Minnesota youth basketball team has been ejected from a league for being too good and now the coach, parents and players are crying foul.

The Rogers Area Youth Basketball Association girls high school team was forced to the sidelines by the Northwest Suburban Basketball League -- and it's all because the team is 3-0, Fox 9 reported Saturday.

"We found out Friday at lunchtime that we're not going to be allowed because according to the league our girls were too talented," coach Jason Hanauska told the station.

RAYBA sent parents a letter that said the main reason for the league's decision was because other teams in the league "do not want to play RAYBA due to the skill level."

"This is absurd," parent Sherri Palmgren told the station. "Do we take the (NFL's) Patriots or Cardinals, who are going to the championship game, and kick them to the curb because they're too good?"

The league ejected RAYBA just ahead of a showcase tournament this weekend, according to Fox 9.

"Are we supposed to play worse just to make them happy?" team member Tessa McCarthy told the station.

Hanauska is slated to meet with the league's board Monday.

It always amazes me how they can dig this stuff up

The Investigative Team (aka MSM) dig in the dirt like over eager Egyptian archaeologists to find whatever smut they can when it comes to a Republican.

The little excavators went to work on Bush and discovered a 'nugget' when they found a DWI in 1976. His military service also came into question during the 2004 election brought about by a Dan Rather hit piece.

They got out the shovels again when Ben Carson became a threat. They dug back to 1969 when Carson was 17 years old to unearth whether or not he had a full scholarship at West Point.

And now their latest discovery. A 1988 video time capsule of Ted Cruz age 18 wanting to" take over the world in total domination".

Video 212

 But when it comes to uncovering the college transcripts and a plethora of scandals from the current administration their excavation skills seem to vanish.

 Anyone think this is a little too coincidental?

Now throw in Jay Carney former WH press secretary now works for ABC. Oh...and Ben Rhodes Barry's Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting, he was the one who came up with "it was the video", his brother, David, is President of CBS News!

Now you know why... when it comes to the left they can never find a shovel.
