Failed GOP gubernatorial candidate blames Israel for Sandy Hook shooting on Iranian television

 By Julian Pecquet - 12/18/12 01:02 PM ET

A one-time Republican candidate for governor of Arizona blamed Israeli "death squads" for the Sandy Hook shooting during an appearance on Iran's state-run Press TV Tuesday.

Michael Harris came in third place in the 2006 Republican primary, which Len Munsil won before falling to Democrat Janet Napolitano. He is now the Phoenix-based financial editor of Veterans Today, a conspiracy-minded “military and foreign affairs journal” whose editorial board includes former Pakistani and Russian spies.

“I want to remind you of the Norway shooting of Mr. Breivik, which followed a week after Norway had agreed to support Palestine,” Harris told Press TV. “Now you look at Israel just lost their bid to thwart Palestine from being recognized by the United Nations and now here we go, here is a revenge killing in the U.S., sponsored by Israel, that killed all these innocent children and that is something that Israelis do very, very well.

“They target the innocent, they target the children, they target women and they avoid the issue because they are angry. They did not get their way and now Palestine has standing at the U.N, and Israel is going to be subject to the international criminal courts and their leadership is going to be taken to task.”

Rom 11:11  I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Rom 11:12  Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?


Rom 11:25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26  And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27  For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28  As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.


Eph 4:17  This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Eph 4:18  Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Eph 4:19  Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.


1Pe 4:1  Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
1Pe 4:2  That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
1Pe 4:3  For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
1Pe 4:4  Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
1Pe 4:5  Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.


WHOOPS...

Democratic lawmaker suggest that **** victim women should all be disarmed and have no self defense

It's one thing for Americans who don't believe in the Second Amendment to refrain from carrying or owning a firearm for self-defense if they choose to do so, but it's a completely different thing for an anti-gun politician to push for laws that disarm Americans and put them at risk of harm from criminals.

That is especially true for women, who are often victimized by much stronger, much larger men.

But that doesn't matter to Colorado state Rep. Joe Salazar. As far as he's concerned, even women at risk of being raped should not be allowed to carry a gun.

Get a whistle, not a gun

While arguing for the disarmament of college students recently on the floor of the state Legislature, Salazar said guns weren't the answer for women at risk - "call boxes" and "whistles" were better protective choices.

"It's why we have call boxes, it's why we have safe zones, it's why we have the whistles. Because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop ... pop around at somebody."

In Salazar's world, absurdity obviously knows no bounds.

To his way of thinking, potential rapists would back off if they encountered a woman in a "safe zone." If she were near a "call box" or had a "whistle," her protection would be exponentially stronger because, you know, rapists pay attention to such things when planning their criminal acts.

Well, I can't **** her. She's got a whistle. She's in a 'safe zone.' And look - she's carrying a whistle.

"Representative Joe Salazar (D-Colo.) isn't a 'boorish, macho Latino' as some have stated. In his zeal to ban guns, he's shown himself to be a Todd Akin-level fool," writes Amy Sterling Casil at PolicyMic.com. "Akin's 2012 comments to the effect that women could 'prevent pregnancy' in the case of 'legitimate ****' arose from his desire to ban abortion, no matter what the circumstance of pregnancy. The statements of both men arose from political zeal which led them to voice opinions at odds with common sense and human decency."

50 Cent sees 'no black people' at Daytona 500

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Give NASCAR credit for this, the racing circuit continues to attempt to diversify its fan base.

This year, in a continued effort to show racing fast cars should appeal to more than just its traditionally white fan base, the circuit brought in African American celebrities such as recording artists 50 Cent and T.I. and future Hall of Fame NFL star Ray Lewis to the Daytona 500. It's a long way from the traditional slate of country singers.
 
Yet even with the best intentions, the intended message may not be getting out.

"Damn, I don't see no black people lol," 50 Cent tweeted Sunday after arriving at Daytona International Speedway.
 
That was about the last message NASCAR was hoping to have hammered home to 50 Cent's nearly eight million followers.
 
The truth is the truth though. NASCAR itself has taken numerous steps through the years in attempt to open up its fan base – if for no other reason than to tap into a potential lucrative market.
 
It sets up outreach programs in cities near tracks, trying to take the cars to areas with more diverse populations. It sponsors a minority driver program. It has officially condemned the confederate flag, even barring the "General Lee" of Dukes and Hazards fame from appearing at a race in Phoenix last year.
 
NASCAR's long-term belief is that people from all walks of life, races, countries and socio-economic backgrounds love cars.
 
Indeed on Sunday, Sprint Cup driver Denny Hamlin and T.I. spoke at length about their shared love of Porsches and debated whose was faster.
 
At the turnstile however, it remains a struggle.

Flapping confederate flags still dot the sky across the expansive infield here at Daytona, for instance, and even if the intention for fans flying it isn't racially based – heritage not hate is the common defense – it remains an unwelcoming sign for many people of all races.
 
So in the end, 50 Cent and others can come to Daytona, taking traditional roles of, in the case of Lewis, waving the green flag to start the race – "Brad [Keselowski] texted me on the way in, 'The one rule is don't drop the flag,' " Lewis joked.
 
But when they look around, the reality remains the same as it has for years.

Diversity in NASCAR? Slowly is putting it mildly. The effort is for black drivers (any minorities) to compete, but they just aren't out there, and what drivers are out there, even fewer have the talent to make it to that level. Darrel Wallace Jr is the latest kid, and he's started his first full season in Nationwide series this year. And it's not a money thing either. Just look at the money spent at NBA and NFL games by minorities.

Sure, there's a stigma. Stock car racing came out of the south and running moonshine. True story, and not many black folk were involved that way, so yeah, it came up a white man's sport. True, of course there are still idiot racists within racing in the south, but they are an extreme minority these days.

Racing is as diverse as it can be at this point. The holdup is the fans and drivers getting involved.

50 Cent needs to instead of asking where all the black people are at NASCAR races, he needs to ask his peeps why they aren't going to races and racing cars. And he's got the cash (and Ray Lewis), he can sponsor a young black driver, which there are several I'm sure that need the help. Sponsors and other people's money is how drivers move up the ranks. No sponsors and support, no racing.

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman tells Kim Jong Un he has 'friend for life'
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/dennis-rodman-tours-north-koreas-124441472--spt.html

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman hung out Thursday with North Korea's Kim Jong Un on the third day of his improbable journey to Pyongyang, watching the Harlem Globetrotters with the leader and later dining and drinking with him at his palace.
 
''You have a friend for life,'' Rodman told Kim before a crowd of thousands at a gymnasium where they sat side by side, chatting as they watched players from North Korea and the U.S. play on mixed teams, Alex Detrick, a spokesman for the New York-based VICE media company, told The Associated Press.
 
Rodman arrived in Pyongyang on Monday with three members of the professional Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, VICE correspondent Ryan Duffy and a production crew to shoot an episode on North Korea for a new weekly HBO series.
 
The unlikely encounter makes Rodman the most high-profile American to meet Kim since the young North Korean leader took power in December 2011, and takes place against a backdrop of tension between Washington and Pyongyang. North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test just two weeks ago, making clear the provocative act was a warning to the United States to drop what it considers a ''hostile'' policy toward the North.

"He loves basketball. ... I said Obama loves basketball. Let's start there" as a way to warm up relations between U.S. and North Korea, [Dennis]Rodman told ABC's "This Week."

"He asked me to give Obama something to say and do one thing. He wants Obama to do one thing, call him," said Rodman, who called the authoritarian leader an "awesome guy" during his trip. The State Department criticized North Korea last week for "wining and dining' Rodman while its own people go hungry.

Kerry: Dennis Rodman's No Diplomat

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman may be the only American ever to have met and spent time with North Korea's reclusive leader but U.S Secretary of State John Kerry isn't giving him any diplomatic kudos.
 
Kerry said Tuesday that the ex-Chicago Bulls player "was a great basketball player, and as a diplomat, he was a great basketball player."

"That's where we'll leave it," he told NBC News in an interview in Qatar, where he is wrapping up a nine-nation tour of Europe and the Middle East
 
Rodman made headlines last week with a visit to hermetic North Korea, sat next to youthful autocrat Kim Jong Un at an exhibition basketball game and gave the dictator, who threatens to end the truce with South Korea, several compliments about his leadership.

Ahmadinejad Predicts Hugo Chavez Will Be 'Resurrected With Jesus'

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has predicted that Hugo Chavez would be resurrected along with Jesus and a sacred Muslim prophet. “I have no doubt he will come again along with all the righteous people and the Prophet Jesus and the only successor of the righteous generation, the perfect human,” Ahmadinejad said in a statement released in Persian on the president's official website Wednesday, the New York Times reported. The "perfect human" refers to the Hidden Imam, who Shiite Muslims believe disappeared in the ninth century but expect to re-emerge.

Well, when I used to watch Jay Leno many years ago, he would do a segment where he would show titles of news articles/ads that were incredibly out of wack, that you ended up laughing at them. And these were articles/ads that merely showed up in the BACK PAGES of local newspapers's Metro/City sections, which was why one ends up finding them funny.

Now? It seems like these kinds of headline articles are in major papers toward the front pages et al - it's as if no one pays any attention to its wackiness anymore, but takes them at face value. Ultimately, it's not the least bit funny, but depressing.

'Tornado clearly targets conservatives': Daily Show creator faces backlash over insensitive tweet

She thought she was making a topical political joke, but a co-creator of ‘The Daily Show’ managed to enrage many of her followers after tweeting joke about the Oklahoma tornado’s political motivations.

‘This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives,’ wrote comedian Lizz Winstead, in a tweet, around 3:30 Monday afternoon.

The tweet was an apparent attempt at using the occasion of the May 20 twister to comment on the scandal currently plaguing the IRS and Obama administration.

Cheney says NSA monitoring could have prevented 9/11

The United States might have been able to prevent the deadly Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington had controversial National Security Agency surveillance practices been in place at the time, former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday.

The former No. 2 in the Bush administration defended the NSA's ability to monitor phone and email data, and labeled as a "traitor" the analyst who has admitted to having leaked details about the classified program.

"As everybody who's been associated with the program's said, if we had had this before 9/11, when there were two terrorists in San Diego — two hijackers — had been able to use that program, that capability, against that target, we might well have been able to prevent 9/11," Cheney said on "Fox News Sunday."

And Sen. Lindsey Graham, S.C., a hawkish Republican who's vocally defended the NSA practices, suggested another attack is even made more likely if the monitoring is curtailed.

"I believe we should be listening to terrorists, known terrorist emails, following their emails and following their phone calls. And if they're emailing somebody and the United States or calling a number in the United States, I would like to get a judge's position to monitor that phone call," Graham said on "Meet the Press" on NBC. "If we don't do that, another attack on our homeland is very likely."

Many of the broad surveillance practices referenced by Cheney were initiated following the 9/11 attacks, prompted by President George W. Bush, who argued for broader government powers to prevent future attacks. But revelations that the government was routinely collecting so-called "meta-data" from phone providers like Verizon and other communications companies has prompted a new debate over what limits should be put on domestic government surveillance.

President Barack Obama has also called the NSA's practices an important tool for his administration. Asked on CBS whether Obama felt as though any American's privacy had been violated, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said: "He does not."

McDonough also suggested that Obama will endeavor to speak more publicly about the program in the coming days, and touted the administration's work to more fully brief lawmakers about the programs and build in more oversight.

Obama has also asserted that he has scaled back some practices undertaken during the Bush administration — a claim which drew a sharp rebuke from Cheney.

"I don't pay a lot of attention, frankly, to what Barack Obama says," Cheney said. "I find a lot of it is, in other areas — the IRS, Benghazi — not credible. I'm obviously not a fan of the incumbent president."

As to Edward Snowden, the former Booz Allen analyst who has claimed responsibility for first leaking details of the classified NSA program, Cheney said it was one of the worst breaches of intelligence he could imagine.

"I think he's a traitor," Cheney said of Snowden. "I think it's one of the worst occasions, in my memory, of somebody with access to classified information doing enormous damage to the national security interests of the United States."

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Ga., the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Snowden should face prosecution.

"He needs to look an American jury in the eye and explain why he has disclosed sources and methods that are going to put American lives in danger," said Chambliss.

McDonough was far more reluctant to attach any label to Snowden, explaining that he did not want to prejudge any investigation.

Cheney, though, additionally suggested that Snowden's decision to flee to Hong Kong — where he is thought to currently reside — could mean that he was working with the Chinese government. (McDonough said he could not comment as to Snowden's whereabouts or cooperation with the Chinese.)

"I am very, very worried that he still has additional information that he hasn't released yet, that the Chinese would welcome the opportunity and are probably willing to offer immunity — or sanctuary, if you will — in exchange for what he presumably knows or doesn't know," he said.

Michael Jackson’s Ghost: My Death Was An Accident

MICHAEL Jackson’s death has been declared an accident — by his own GHOST, a court heard.

Jacko, 50, was said to have told Lionel Richie’s ex Brenda that he inadvertently killed himself.

He told jurors at Los Angeles County Superior Court: “Brenda called me to tell me that she was in communications with Michael, either through a medium or directly.

“She said Michael told her it wasn’t Dr Murray’s fault — that he had accidentally killed himself.”

Michael Jackson was definitely a bizarre individual, but his peculiar behavior doesn’t seem to end with him. It seems that people associated with him are just as nuts. Now his attorney is bringing evidence of Jackson communicating from the dead. They obviously haven’t read their Bible lately.

There aren’t any phone lines from Hell. The only communication this looney, Brenda could have received is from a devil. Refer to the story in 2 Samuel when Saul attempted to use a medium to talk to Samuel. He wound up talking to a devil.

Saul actually thought he was talking to Samuel. Another self absorbed nut case who may know Jacko personally since they are neighbors. I’m kidding, of course. Hell isn’t designed to have a neighborly existence. What a horrible shame that this whole group of people are so far disconnected from reality.

This is yet one more example of a good reason to reach as many people for Christ as possible. By the way, we need to pray for the judge in the Jackson wrongful death case. He admitted the testimony.

Texas Democrat tries to block abortion restrictions with 12-hour filibuster
6/25/13

By Corrie MacLaggan

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - A Texas lawmaker who was a single mother at the age of 19 and is now a rising star of the state Democratic party was attempting to block a Republican drive for sweeping new abortion restrictions on Wednesday by speaking continuously for 12 hours.

The filibuster by state Senator Wendy Davis, 50, could derail a proposal including a ban on abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. She must talk until midnight (0500 GMT), when a 30-day special session expires.

But Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry, a strong opponent of abortion, could revive the proposal by calling another special session of the legislature.

If the filibuster fails and the Senate approves the proposal, Texas is virtually assured of becoming the 13th state in the nation and by far the most populous, to impose a ban on abortion after 20 weeks.

The proposal also calls for stricter standards for abortion clinics, which opponents said would force nearly all the state's abortion clinics to close or be completely rebuilt.

Davis said the abortion restrictions would be the latest in a "war on women" in Texas, using a criticism leveled at Republicans nationally in the 2012 election.

During the filibuster on Tuesday, she read a stream of messages of support she said had come from women around Texas.

Davis has used the filibuster to frustrate majority Republicans before, temporarily blocking approval of education funding cuts in 2011.

Republican supporters of the tighter regulation of abortion clinics said they would protect the health of women, and the ban on late-term abortions would protect the fetus based on controversial research that suggests pain is felt by 20 weeks of development.

The U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion nationwide in 1973, but conservative states have enacted laws in recent years that seek to place restrictions on the procedure, especially on abortions performed late in pregnancy.

A Philadelphia jury last month convicted abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell of murdering three babies during abortions at a clinic in a high-profile case that focused national attention on late term abortions.

Earlier this month, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill banning abortions 20 weeks after fertilization. The measure is extremely unlikely to become law because Democrats control the U.S. Senate and the White House.

Twelve states have passed 20-week bans, including two states where the bans take effect later this year, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights. Courts have blocked the bans in three of the 12 states - Arizona, Georgia and Idaho.

The Texas proposal would allow exemptions for abortions to save a woman's life and in cases of severe fetal abnormalities.

Saudi cleric says women who drive risk damaging their ovaries

A conservative Saudi Arabian cleric has said women who drive risk damaging their ovaries and bearing children with clinical problems, countering activists who are trying to end the Islamic kingdom's male-only driving rules.

 A campaign calling for women to defy the ban in a protest drive on October 26 has spread rapidly online over the past week and gained support from some prominent women activists. On Sunday, the campaign's website was blocked inside the kingdom.

 In an interview published on Friday on the website sabq.org, Sheikh Saleh bin Saad al-Lohaidan said women aiming to overturn the ban on driving should put "reason ahead of their hearts, emotions and passions".

 Reuters earlier wrongly identified him as Sheikh Saleh bin Mohammed al-Lohaidan, a member of the Senior Council of Scholars, one of the top religious bodies in the birthplace of Islam.

 By contrast, Sheikh Saleh bin Saad al-Lohaidan, the person quoted in the sabq.org report, is a judicial adviser to an association of Gulf psychologists.

 His comments reflect the extent of opposition to women driving among some conservatives in Saudi Arabia.

 "If a woman drives a car, not out of pure necessity, that could have negative physiological impacts as functional and physiological medical studies show that it automatically affects the ovaries and pushes the pelvis upwards," he told Sabq.

 "That is why we find those who regularly drive have children with clinical problems of varying degrees," he said.

 He did not cite specific medical studies to support his arguments.

 The ban on women driving is not backed by a specific law, but only men are granted driving licenses. Women can be fined for driving without a license but have also been detained and put on trial in the past on charges of political protest.

 Sheikh Abdulatif Al al-Sheikh, the head of the morality police, told Reuters a week ago that there was no text in the documents making up sharia, or Islamic law, that barred women from driving.

 King Abdullah has pushed some cautious reforms aimed at expanding women's freedoms in Saudi Arabia, including opening more employment opportunities for them, but he has not addressed the issue of driving.

Sadly, for some reason, a lot of people in America listen to her.

And there's her whole "Oprah-made religion" nonsense she came out with a couple of year ago.

Councilwoman Blames 'Knockout' Attacks on Tension Between Blacks and Jews

The alleged "knockout" attacks on Jewish residents of Crown Heights may stem from ongoing racial tension between the neighborhood's black and Jewish communities, a newly-elected Brooklyn politician said.
 
Councilwoman-elect Laurie Cumbo, who was elected to represent Crown Heights starting in January, released an open letter Tuesday saying that many of her black constituents told her they feel threatened by the growth of the neighborhood's Jewish community — and she fears the tension could be spiking the recent violence.
 
"Many African American/Caribbean residents expressed a genuine concern that as the Jewish community continues to grow, they would be pushed out by their Jewish landlords or by Jewish families looking to purchase homes," Cumbo wrote in the 1,200-word letter, which was emailed to supporters and posted on her Facebook page.

Fox News host Megyn Kelly says Jesus and Santa are white
12/12/13

Fox News host Megyn Kelly has made herself the center of a racial controversy by declaring that Jesus Christ and Santa Claus are white.

On Wednesday night, Kelly was responding to an article by Slate writer Aisha Harris, who wrote an article entitled “ Santa Claus Should Not Be a White Man Anymore  .”

The popular news host told viewers of “The Kelly File,” her hit FNC program, “When I saw this headline, I kinda laughed and I said, ‘Oh, this is ridiculous. Yet another person claiming it's racist to have a white Santa.’ And by the way, for all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white. But this person is maybe just arguing that we should also have a black Santa. But, you know, Santa is what he is, and just so you know, we're just debating this because someone wrote about it, kids.”

Of course, a number of critics were quick to point out that Santa Claus is a fictional character. And while he was based on St. Nicholas, a white man, his exact description is largely left up to individual interpretation.

However, after a guest on Kelly’s show defended the Slate article, Kelly extended her argument to further claim that the historical figure Jesus Christ was in fact Caucasian:

“Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change. You know, I mean, Jesus was a white man, too,” Kelly said. “He was a historical figure; that's a verifiable fact — as is Santa, I want you kids watching to know that — but my point is: How do you revise it, in the middle of the legacy of the story, and change Santa from white to black?”

Unlike Santa, the racial heritage of Jesus Christ has been debated for years. Technically, the New Testament does not contain a description of his skin pigment, though most modern Western depictions do portray him as a white man. Though there is little to no factual or scholarly work on the biblical figure’s racial heritage, a 2011 BBC documentary “Son of God” attempted to create a modern composite of what Jesus might have looked like. The analysis concluded that such a historic figure would likely have had dark skin, based on the Middle Eastern desert climate in which the New Testament stories took place. “Experts have decided Jesus would have been anything but pearly white,” the BBC declared.

Interestingly, Kelly’s opinion offering comes only days after she told Jay Leno, “I am a straight news anchor. I am not one of the opinion hosts at Fox.”

Harris responded to Kelly’s broadcast  , noting her piece was intended to be “a little tongue-in-cheek,” but nonetheless declared, “If you’re seriously emphatic that he is white and must remain white, there’s a good chance that your view of the rest of the world is just as limited and unimaginative. I mean, we are talking about a magical man who slides down your chimney every Christmas Eve. Just so we’re clear.”

See, that sounds like an ignorant person talking, not one who is trying to put out misinformation. But again, the standard issue churchianity image of Jesus is presented, even though people born to Hebrew parents in Israel are considered Semitic, not Caucasian.

Sorry, Jesus was NOT white! And He doesn't have long hair.  ::)

As for Satan, I mean Santa Claus, nothing to speak of. He's a non-Christian fairy tale character presented by the unbelieving world as an alternative to Jesus.

Ahhh, the Liberal Media... apparently there was WAY more to this story than the media was saying.

Megyn Kelly Responds to Santa Claus Critics: Get a Sense of Humor

Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly took on the left-wing hate mob that has come after her following a humorous segment that she featured on her program Wednesday evening in which she and her guests staged a mock debate over the racial identity of Santa Claus.
 
To the haters, Kelly had a message tonight: Lighten up and learn to realize what satire is. “Humor is a part of what we try to bring to this show but sometimes that is lost on the humorless,” she said.
 
Since the Wednesday segment, an absurd controversy has been swirling around the newly minted primetime host in which Foxophobic television and internet outlets seemed unable (or unwilling) to comprehend that the entire segment, which began with a satirical disclaimer to “kids at home” that Santa was white and did exist, was not to be taken seriously.

After playing several clips of various television shows reacting to her remarks, Kelly commented further on the response: “This would be funny if it were not so telling about our society. In particular, the knee-jerk instinct by so many to race bait and to assume the worst in people, especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News channel.”
 
Indeed. As we noted yesterday, it seems that many leftists in this country seem to be psychologically disturbed that there is one television channel which is not controlled by Democratic partisans and therefore they seek to turn even the tiniest molehills into mountains when it comes to Fox News. The entire segment was a joke and for people to pretend otherwise speaks negatively of their intelligence or their honesty.
 
Kelly summarized the kerfuffle well when she added at the end: “The fact that an offhand jest that I made during a segment about whether Santa should be replaced by a penguin has now become a national firestorm says two things: race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country and Fox News and yours truly are big targets for many people.”
 
A complete transcript of the segment which appeared on the December 13, 2013 edition of “The Kelly File” follows.

MEGYN KELLY: Also in the news tonight, is Santa Claus real and what does he look like? Hide the kids, Mom and Dad, spoiler alert! Apparently we ignited quite a controversy the other night in a segment about an essay that argued Santa should no longer be portrayed as a white man. The African-American author of the piece, Aisha Harris, was upset about the commercial depiction of Santa Claus as white and argued that a quote ‘fat old white man’ who is quote ‘melanin-deficient’ made her feel ashamed as a child, thus necessitating an image makeover.

In kicking off the light-hearted segment, I offered a tongue-in-cheek message for any kids watching saying that Santa, who I joked is a real person whose race is identifiable, is white, just as Harris claimed in her piece, but that we were debating whether that should somehow change.
 
(footage from December 11, 2013 edition of “The Kelly File”)
 
On Slate they have a piece, on dot-com, saying that Santa Claus should not be a white man anymore. And when I saw this headline, I kind of laughed. Yet another person claiming it’s racist to have a white Santa. By the way, for all you kids at home, Santa just is white but this person is arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa. Santa is what he is and we are debating this because someone wrote about it.
 
But Jedediah, when I read the piece, the author seems to have—you know, she’s African-American. She seems to have real pain at having grown up with the image of a white Santa. She speaks about it kind of honestly saying I didn't understand why that had to be.
 
(return to live footage)
 
I realized that the piece by Harris, which said that Santa should be a penguin, was also tongue-in-cheek. That’s in part why we covered the story in the first place. Humor is a part of what we try to bring to this show but sometimes that is lost on the humorless. Cue the firestorm of controversy over my declaring Santa’s skin color: many questioning whether I understand that Santa is a mythical figure, others suggesting I am a racist who is outraged at the idea of a black Santa.
 
(footage from “CNN Newsroom”)
 
DON LEMON: All right this is a, everybody’s waiting for this segment. So grab your popcorn, turn the volume up in your office, close the door, sit down, here we go. If you thought Santa Claus or Jesus Christ were anything other than white, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly wants you to know: you are wrong. Kelly says both were white and that’s a fact.
 
(edit cut in footage)
 
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Thank you for trying to err on the side of inconclusivity, then definitely Penguin Santa makes sense. But to get outraged at the idea that there are non-white Santas is ridiculous because I guarantee you, right now, that if you would walk home with an African-American person almost anywhere in the country, you would find a black Santa Claus and black angels and a black Jesus.
 
(footage from MSNBC show “All In With Chris Hayes”)
 
AISHA HARRIS (Author of original Slate piece that started the controversy): I think that’s what bothered me the most about it was the way that Kelly and the others kind of were—she said it just so angrily. It kind of sunk in to me, it felt like you’re insisting that this not real figure must be white.
 
(footage from ABC show “Jimmy Kimmel Live”)
 
JIMMY KIMMEL: Right. All fictional people are white. It’s in the Bible, Santa just is white, like Christmas, it’s white Christmas. And by the way, what kids are watching Fox News at home? What weird kids are those?
 
(footage from “CNN Newsroom”)
 
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Good luck.
 
LEMON: Good night. We’ll be back in a moment.
 
(return to live footage)
 
KELLY: Outraged? Well this would be funny if it were not so telling about our society. In particular, the knee-jerk instinct by so many to race bait. And to assume the worst in people, especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News Channel.
 
Contrary to what my critics have posited, neither my statement nor Harris’s, I’m sure, was motivated by racial fear or loathing. In fact, it was something far less sinister: a lifetime of exposure to the very same quote ‘commercials, mall casting calls, and movies’ Harris references in her piece. From ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ to the Thanksgiving Day parade to the national Christmas tree lighting, we continually see St. Nick as white man in modern-day America. Should that change? Well that debate got lost because so many couldn’t get past the fact that I acknowledged, as Harris did, that the most commonly depicted images of Santa does, in fact, have white skin.
 
By the way, I also did say that Jesus was white. As I’ve learned in the past two days, that is far from settled. For me, the fact that an offhand jest that I made during a segment about whether Santa should be replaced by a penguin has now become a national firestorm says two things: race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country and Fox News and yours truly are big targets for many people.

Here's the 2 minute clip, FYI...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XYlJqf4dLI

She WASN'T joking at all(at least it didn't appear to be), and her comment over how Jesus is white didn't come off as a joke either! Whatever reason they were doing this(as the article says), it came off as pure blasphemy! It amazes me how these clowns will never take responsibility over everything they say and do, but point fingers and play the blame game instead. They use this "liberal media bias!" buzzword so that they can keep their GOP flock in the dark - otherwise, you never hear these "liberal media" critics expose their "hero" Ronald Reagan for supporting abortion and gun control.

Matthew 12:34  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Mat 12:35  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Mat 12:36  But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Mat 12:37  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.


Mark 3:28  Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
Mar 3:29  But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:


Luke_6:25  Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

I can see the jokinging to it, but i want to see the full segment. Santa as we know him today was created by Coca Cola in the 1950's and is a fat white guy, smoking a pipe. funny how that disappeared.  :D

Just want to say this as this really is stupid.  :D

Here is the true Santa Clause and this is what he looks like.

Appearance[edit]
 
Krampus parade in Pörtschach am Wörthersee (2013)
Although Krampus appears in many variations, most share some common physical characteristics. He is hairy, usually brown or black, and has the cloven hooves and horns of a goat. His long pointed tongue lolls out.[1][8]
 
Krampus carries chains, thought to symbolize the binding of the Devil by the Christian Church. He thrashes the chains for dramatic effect. The chains are sometimes accompanied with bells of various sizes.[9] Of more pagan origins are the ruten, bundles of birch branches that Krampus carries and occasionally swats children with.[1] The ruten have significance in pre-Christian pagan initiation rites.[1] The birch branches are replaced with a whip in some representations. Sometimes Krampus appears with a sack or a washtub strapped to his back; this is to cart off evil children for drowning, eating, or transport to Hell.[1]

Is that the whole clip? i cant seem to find the whole clip. it appears to be more than what was played.

I can see the jokinging to it, but i want to see the full segment. Santa as we know him today was created by Coca Cola in the 1950's and is a fat white guy, smoking a pipe. funny how that disappeared.  :D

I went through YT, and apparently, yes, that was most of it(there were other YT clips where people showed it, and gave their opinions of it).

The part where Kelly called Jesus a white man didn't come off as a joke at all(THAT was disturbing), but en yet these "liberal media bias" web sites overlook THIS? And where was the "liberal media" like CNN exposing her on THIS? Honestly, the Santa stuff I could careless. But somehow, the MSM just is running this back-forth Hegelian Dialect over this nonsense.

Also, these "liberal media bias" sites are pro-Catholic.

NM teacher who said Santa is white on paid leave

A suburban Albuquerque teacher who told a black student that Santa Claus is white has been placed on paid administrative leave.
 
Rio Rancho school district spokeswoman Kim Vesely confirmed on Tuesday that the teacher is out of the classroom while the incident is being investigated.
 
The teacher's comments came after students at Cleveland High School were told they could come to class dressed as Santa, an elf or a reindeer.
 
Michael Rougier says when his ninth-grade son, Christopher, arrived with a Santa hat and beard, the teacher asked, "Don't you know Santa Claus is white? Why are you wearing that?"
 
The incident happened the same week that Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly said both Santa Claus and Jesus were white.

Incoming White House Adviser Quickly Backtracks After Comparing GOP to Jonestown Cult

Incoming White House adviser John Podesta apologized Wednesday for comparing Republican opposition to President Barack Obama to the infamous Jonestown cult that inspired more than 900 people to die by cyanide poisoning in 1978.

The White House needs “to focus on executive action given that they are facing a second term against a cult worthy of Jonestown in charge of one of the houses of Congress,” Podesta was quoted as saying in a Politico magazine article published Tuesday.
 
“I think (Obama administration officials) were naturally preoccupied with legislating at first, and I think it took them a while to make the turn to execution. They are focused on that now,” the former Clinton White House chief of staff said. “They have to realize that the president has broad authority, that he’s not just the prime minister. He can drive a whole range of action. They always grasped that on foreign policy and in the national security area. Now they are doing it on the domestic side.”
 
Podesta, who also helped found the ultra-liberal think tank Center for American Progress in 2003, was met with swift pushback from conservatives.
 
“Dem Rep. Ryan was killed in Jonestown. His then-aide, Rep. Speier was shot (five times),” GOP strategist Rory Cooper tweeted. “Podesta’s comments show them no honor.”
 
Brendan Buck, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, tweeted: “John Podesta seems like a real class act.”
 
Podesta offered a hasty apology for the “old interview.” He spoke to Politico in the fall, before he was tapped to join Obama.
 
“In an old interview, my snark got in front of my judgment,” Podesta tweeted Wednesday. “I apologize to Speaker Boehner, whom I have always respected.”

Podesta is being brought on to advise the White House on the many problems that have engulfed the president’s second term including the scandal involving the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups.

Mother Jones: Study Shows Global Warming May Cause More ****

The phenomenon of global warming has been used to explain many things, but now Mother Jones is quoting a study saying it might cause more rapes of women.

Matthew Ranson, an economist, avers that there is a historical connection between warmer temperatures and increased crime. He said, "Looking at the past, we see a strong relationship between temperature and crime. We think that is likely to continue in the future."

Ranson utilized the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's projections of the effects of global warming in the U.S. to estimate that between 2010 and 2099, warmer temperatures will "cause" an additional "22,000 murders, 180,000 cases of ****, 1.2 million aggravated assaults, 2.3 million simple assaults, 260,000 robberies, 1.3 million burglaries, 2.2 million cases of larceny, and 580,000 cases of vehicle theft."

That amounts to 2.2% more murders and 3.1% more rapes. John Roman, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute's Justice Policy Center, agreed with Ranson that the warmer temperatures would indeed be a problem, saying, "To the extent that climate change causes people to be out and interacting more, there will be more crime."

Ranson elaborated that there were various reasons why the warmer temperatures would foment more crime, alleging that "warmer temperatures increase the frequency of social interactions, some small percentage of which result in violence," and people become more aggressive in increased heat.

However, Ranson also argues that the temperatures were no excuse for bad behavior:

    The decision to a commit a crime is a matter of personal responsibility. Neither higher outdoor temperatures nor reduced police enforcement are valid excuses for individuals to commit criminal acts. Yet, from a statistical perspective, both cause crime to increase.

Andrew Holland, a senior fellow for energy and climate at the American Security Project, is skeptical about Ranson’s conclusions, saying the study seems "tailor-made for a headline" but that "on further analysis, I don't know what it tells us… Just like any war has many reasons for starting, any crime has many factors that go into it. You can't convince me that any one **** was solely because of the temperature." Holland added that trying to ascertain what factor impels a crime can be "an interesting mathematical exercise," but is not "useful or helpful."

Roman stubbornly sticks with Ranson. He says police have believed "the summer is more dangerous than the winter." He concludes, "There will be more studies in the future that find these effects. The concept fits with classic crime theory so neatly that we need to start thinking about how to get ahead of this and respond."

Mother Jones writes that Ranson has two options for dealing with the dreaded scenario he envisions: increasing numbers of police or citizens leaving their homes less often in hot weather and locking their windows. Then Mother Jones offers its own alternative: “reining in the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing global warming in the first place.”

That's the statistical reason. And that should read "increased temperature", not "increased heat". But it's true, and hospital ER's prove it. The better the weather, the more people get out and interact. Duh!

Sarah Palin: Waterboarding is how I'd 'baptize terrorists' as president
http://theweek.com/article/index/260578/speedreads-sarah-palin-waterboarding-is-how-id-baptize-terrorists-as-president

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) was once, as her party's vice presidential nominee, close to being a heartbeat away from the presidency. And over the weekend, she gave a little glimpse of what a Palin presidency would look like.

Speaking at a National Rifle Association rally Saturday, Palin talked of how she would "put the fear of God in our enemies" as president by ensuring everyone knew that "waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists."

The United Nations, the ACLU, and just about every other authority on the matter considers waterboarding to be a form of torture. That said, Palin is unlikely to ever run for president, so her proposed national security policy should remain nothing more than a rhetorical flourish.

Sarah Palin: 'I Owe America A Global Apology'

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said she owes America a "global apology" for the 2008 GOP presidential ticket's loss to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

During an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Palin spoke about Obama's long-term strategy for defeating the Islamic State -- a militant group formerly known as ISIS or ISIL -- that he laid out in a speech Wednesday night.

"As I watched the speech last night, Sean, the thought going through my mind is, 'I owe America a global apology. Because John McCain, through all of this, John McCain should be our president,'" Palin said.

Boehner Parties in the Hamptons, Tells Joy Behar: 'I Am Obama's Best Friend'

House Speaker John Boehner put comedienne Joy Behar in a headlock this weekend while in the Hamptons campaigning for Republican Lee Zeldin, telling the liberal former co-host of The View, “I am Obama’s best friend."

Behar ran into Boehner in a restaurant--Almond Restaurant in East Hampton--and told the Speaker to “stop obstructing President Obama” as she “tackled” him, according to the New York Post.

“Liberal comedienne and talk show host Behar tackled Boehner--whom she dubbed 'the Weeper of the House' after his waterworks in his famous ’60 Minutes’ interview--at Almond Restaurant in East Hampton on Saturday,” the Post’s Emily Smith wrote. “Boehner--who was out in the Hamptons to campaign against Long Island Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop and attended a fundraiser for Lee Zeldin at the home of developer Joe Farrell--then jokingly put Behar in a headlock. The moment was captured in a photo which appeared in Monday’s Page Six.”

"Boehner was eating at Almond with four Secret Service agents in suits. Compared to everyone else in casual Hamptons attire, they really stood out. They looked like they were going to a wake,” Behar told the Post’s Page Six.

Behar was there eating dinner with her husband Steve Janowitz, actor Ron Rifkin, and Rifkin’s wife Iva, and the Post’s Smith wrote that “she baited Boehner as he got up from his table to leave the restaurant.”

“I couldn’t resist having some fun. I jumped up and told him to stop obstructing President Obama,” Behar said. “I am sick of all this deadlock. Strangely, he replied, ‘I am Obama’s best friend.’ Then he put his arm around my neck and it looked like he was going to strangle me.”

About the headlock, Behar said, “Boehner had quite a grip. For a guy who cries a lot, he’s physically quite strong.”

Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate, says he believes homosexuality is a choice. His proof? Prison.

"A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight," Carson said in an interview with CNN Wednesday. "And when they come out, they're gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."

Ben Carson sorry for saying being gay is a choice ::)

Presidential hopeful Ben Carson apologized Wednesday night for saying being gay is a choice, following a backlash over his assertion that prisons are evidence that homosexuality is an option.

"In a recent interview on CNN, I realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues," said the retired neurosurgeon and Republican on Facebook. "I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended."

Carson launched a 2016 presidential exploratory committee earlier this week. He has a faithful following among conservatives, and is doing better in some public opinion polls than some better-known Republicans seeking the White House.

When asked earlier in the day by CNN's Chris Cuomo if he believes being gay was a choice, Carson replied: "Absolutely."

"Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they're gay," he told CNN. "So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."

The American Psychological Association and other medical groups have concluded that homosexuality is not a matter of choice.

Carson, who gained notoriety as a surgeon for his work separating conjoined twins, noted in his Facebook statement that he is a political neophyte.

"I answered a question without really thinking about it thoroughly. No excuses," he said. "I deeply regret my statement and I promise you, on this journey, I may err again, but unlike politicians when I make an error I will take full responsibility and never hide or parse words."

Biden Flabbergasted by Ben Carson's Gay-Choice Comments: 'I Mean, Jesus, God'

Speaking to a delighted LGBT audience

s keynote speaker at a Human Rights Campaign (HRC) event on Friday, Vice President Joe Biden delighted his audience after reacting to Ben Carson's recent comments on homosexuality being a choice with, "Jesus, God."

On Wednesday, Carson told Chris Cuomo on CNN that homosexuality is "absolutely" a choice and used prison sex between males as evidence. Carson has sinse apologized for his "choice of language."

Biden, a Roman Catholic, called Carson's comments a "ridiculous assertion" and then exclaimed, "Oh God," as he rolled his eyes.

Biden's full statement below:

    Eight, 10 years ago -- even two years ago -- homophobic statements would have been, if not embraced, not viewed as having generated any political liability. Look what's happening even in quote, "the other party," today. Seriously, don't misread the political trends in history here. Now, every ridiculous assertion from Dr. Carson on -- I mean, Jesus, God! I mean -- huh, my God! I mean, it's kind of hard to fathom, isn't it?

Biden was speaking at the HRC event offering federal support to the LGBT community in regards to passing legislation for discrimination protections.

"Former President of the United States Jimmy Carter made headlines this past weekend where he spoke at the annual convention for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) on Saturday.

Carter, who has called in the past for mercy on terrorist extremists and their organizations, said that the “principles of Allah” are the key to peace in the Middle East.


During his speech, Carter called on the international community to bring “justice of the Palestinians.”

“You can’t bring peace to the Middle East without justice and human rights for the Palestinians. When my prayers are answered and we have peace in the Holy Land then the Israelis and all their neighbors will be blessed to live in peace and prosperity,” Carter stated.

Carter failed to mention previous peace agreements between Israel and the Palestinians in which two-state proposals have been consistently rejected by the Palestinians.

Earlier in the day, at a luncheon, Carter lauded his own efforts to bring peace to the world.

“We are all Americans in a system that allows basic human rights: peace, justice and the ability to treat each other as equals,” he declared. “I hope all of you will use the principles of Allah to bring peace and justice to all.”

Carter’s comments come at a fragile time in Middle Eastern events as terror groups such as ISIS and Hamas carry out violent attacks in the Middle East in the name of the “principles of Allah.”

Last month, Carter raised eyebrows when he called upon the Western world to recognize “Hamas as a legitimate political actor.”

In an article penned for Foreign Policy magazine, the former president slammed Israel’s actions at the start of Operation Protective Edge and said there was a “need for international judicial proceedings to investigate” Israel for war crimes.

Carter accused Israel of “deliberate attacks on civilians” and said that the West must “provide the right incentives for Hamas to lay down its weapons.” Hamas is designated by the US State Department as an international terrorist organization."

Only from the mind of a Liberal... seriously.. Can you spot the real racist here?

Black Lawmaker Accuses White Lawmaker's 18-Month-Old Toddler of Racism

In a fantastic story you just can't make up, a black lawmaker in the Indiana state legislature took to the floor and accused a colleague's child -- who can't yet talk -- of racism.

The chamber was debating the controversial "religious freedom" bill when Democratic Rep. Vanessa Summers took aim at Republican Rep. Jud McMillin.

"I told Jud McMillin I love his son, but he's scared of me because of my color," she said. "It's hard. It's true."

Afterward, she defended the comments.

"He looked at me like I was a monster and turned around and cried. And I told him you need to introduce your child to some people that are dark-skinned so he will not be scared," she said.

The Indianapolis Star wrote:

    Asked whether his son shied away because of her skin color, she said, 'I truly believe so.'

    Summers' comments capped an already heated debate over a measure that supporters say will protect free exercise of religion, but that opponents, including Summers, argue will enshrine discrimination in state law.

    McMillin, R-Brookville, called Summers' comments 'unfortunate.'

    'It's just incredibly unfortunate. You'd like to think that we would have professional discussion on the House floor and certainly be able to avoid having 18-month-olds in the discussion,' he said.

McMillin added: "I can tell you that if he reacted the same way he reacts with anybody brand new, he buries his head in his dad’s shoulder. Whoever it is, it’s what he does. He’s an 18-month-old kid; he’s in a new environment up here in the place like the Statehouse but doesn’t know anybody. I honestly don’t remember anything out of the ordinary."

Howard Dean: 'Jesus Was Probably to the Left of the Democratic Party'

That would mean the Lord would have had to been demon possessed, like you.

 Howard Dean believes Jesus was not just liberal but "probably to the left of the Democratic Party."

In a discussion about the recent "Poverty Summit" on MSNBC's Morning Joe Thursday, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee said that he had always wondered why Evangelical Christians didn't vote Democrat because, he argued, Jesus was clearly a leftist. Citing polling from a decade ago, Dean said he learned that the top two issues for older Evangelicals were abortion and gay marriage, while younger Evangelicals considered them to be poverty and climate change, something he seemed to suggest offered Democrats some hope.

Host Joe Scarborough led into the exchange by quoting Arthur Brooks (who Newsbusters notes was the only conservative on the Poverty Summit panel) as saying, "the reason I became a free market conservative was because what I cared about the most was the poor. And I believe this was the best way to alleviate suffering."

    SCARBOROUGH: You see what the President said, you see what Arthur Brooks said, what other people said. Then suddenly E.J. Dionne goes, wait a second, maybe both sides really can work together.

    DEAN: They can. Let me share some incredibly interesting polling data we got ten years ago when I was running the DNC. I was wondering why evangelicals didn't vote for Democrats because if you look at the red-letter version of the Bible, Jesus was probably to the left of the Democratic party. So we did polling. And here's what we found. This is ten years ago. Evangelicals over 55 it was all about abortion and gay marriage. Evangelicals under 35 in this country, the number one issue was poverty, the number two issue was climate change.

Nicolle Wallace followed up by asking Dean to clarify whether or not younger Evangelicals supported gay marriage. Dean said they didn't poll for that, but Wallace added that public opinion "has changed" on the issue.

Fox News' Bill O'Reilly blames rap for the decline of Christianity

It's always so great when somebody who knows absolutely nothing about hip-hop throws their hat into the ring to blame it for just about any "youth" problem.

So it's thrilling that Bill O'Reilly has now decided that it's the main reason people aren't going to church as much in the United States.

O'Reilly, who is a Fox News anchor, has blamed "pernicious entertainment" for a decline in people wishing to label themselves as Christian. The number of Christians has been declining since 2007 according to a study by Pew Research.

He said: "There is no question that people of faith are being marginalized by a secular media and pernicious entertainment,"

"The rap industry, for example, often glorifies depraved behavior. That sinks into the minds of some young people - the group that is most likely to reject religion."

Scarily, O'Reilly's not on his own in the demonisation of hip-hop. Fellow Fox News broadcaster Geraldo Rivera - who recently got in a fight with an eloquent protester in Baltimore - said the genre's "done more damage to black and brown people than racism in the last 10 years."

Rivera added: "When you find the youngster, a Puerto Rican from the South Bronx or a black kid from Harlem, who has succeeded in life other than being the one-tenth of one-tenth of one per cent that make it in the music business, that's been a success in life walking around with his pants around his ass and with visible tattoos… it’s this whole ethos."

Hip-hop was once again in the firing line in March as panellists of MSNBC show Morning Joe blamed "rap music" and "popular culture" for the racist SAE frat chants at Oklahoma University.

Right-wing commentator Rush Limbaugh then added his penny's worth, saying that the chant - "there will never be a n****r in SAE" - would have been a hit song if recorded by Kanye West.

Going back to O'Reilly's comments, anybody who has ever so much as happened to once stumble into a shop playing hip-hop will know that religious themes run right through the music. Rappers such as Rick Ross, Tupac, Kendrick Lamar and - erm - Puff Daddy have all explored Christianity and what religion means.

Just to get you started, Bill, here's the most obvious example of mainstream Christian hip-hop.

A day after California suffered a terrorist attack that killed 14 people and wounded at least as many, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) uttered one of the most ludicrous things that has ever passed a politicians lips.

See for yourself:

http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/barbara-boxer-gun-laws-work-just-look-california

"Sensible gun laws work," Boxer said. "We've proven it in California. And we're not going to give up."

According to The Blaze, a spokesperson made an attempt to clarify her remark by saying she doesn't think the current state laws are enough and wants "national laws."

The Blaze also notes that the long-time California senator spoke on the Senate floor on Thursday issuing a plea for more gun control laws and said she hasn't heard a "persuasive argument" yet as to why anyone would need a high-powered rifle.

“These weapons of war," Boxer said. "They just don’t belong on our streets and in our communities."

Not that California has that problem. Right, Mrs. Boxer?

Hillary Clinton: ‘I Am a Person of Faith. I Am a Christian’

(http://www.freesmfhosting.com/gallery/endtimesandcurrentevents/1_20_08_12_7_47_52.gif)

 Many presidential candidates seem to be talking about their faith as the election gets closer. Republican candidates Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and even Donald Trump have made a point of discussing their faith in campaign rallies, but faith discussions on the campaign trail are less frequent for Hillary Clinton, an avowed Methodist.
 
Recently, however, on the campaign trail in Iowa, Clinton spoke about her faith and the impact it has on her life.
 
According to time.com, Clinton stated, “I am a person of faith. I am a Christian. I am Methodist. My study of the Bible and my many conversations with people of faith has led me to believe that the most important commandment is to love the lord with all your might, and to love your neighbor as yourself. That is what I think we are commanded by Christ to do.”
 
Although Clinton launched into a substantial discussion of her faith, such a discussion was not part of her intended remarks while in Knoxville, Iowa, speaking in a school gymnasium. 
 
Clinton’s comments on her faith were in response to a question from 36-year-old high school guidance counselor Jessica Manning. Manning said she was a Catholic who was unsure whether to support Clinton.
 
“I am by no means a perfect person,” Clinton told Manning and the gathered crowd. “I will confess that to one and all. But I feel the continuing urge to try to be better, to try to be more loving even with people who are quite harsh.”
 
“I have been very disappointed and sorry that Christianity, which has such great love at its core is sometimes used to condemn so quickly and judge so harshly,” she said, but added that she also looked up to people who used their faith for good.

 “I am in awe of people who can truly turn the cheek every time,” Clinton said. “Who can go the extra mile that we are called to go. Who keep finding ways to forgive and move on. Those are really hard things for human beings to do.”
 
Manning said Clinton’s answer convinced her to support the former Secretary of State.

By the time November rolls around and if/when she gets elected (I do believe the Illuminati has positioned her for this big prize, not Trump) - Apostate Churchianity WILL take her profession at face value.

Believe me - over the last year or 2, you have no idea how many "professing" Christians, yes INCLUDING supposedly KJB believers, have insisted that after you get saved, showing evidences of salvation like having a changed life is *optional* (and not necessary).

Yes, this will likely be the most saddest part. And yes, I'm being very serious.

Boston Police Commissioner: ‘We’re All Muslims Deep Down’
"We all yearn for peace."


 ???

If you think Islam is peaceful please read here http://endtimesandcurrentevents.freesmfhosting.com/index.php/topic,559.0.html

The Horowitz Freedom Center's own Robert Spencer wrote on PJ Media today about Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans' bizarre declaration at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, when he stated, "We’re all Muslims deep down. We all yearn for peace."

What? We all want peace and that makes us Muslim at our core? Christians don't yearn for peace? Jews? Not only has Evans apparently bought fully into the politically correct fiction that Islam means "peace"; he also seems to believe, or at least wants his audience to believe, that it is the religion of peace. As Spencer put it, "This is taking pandering to dizzying new heights."

Spencer also noted that Commissioner Evans previously visited the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) last December, in the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist attack in which two Muslims murdered fourteen people at a Christmas party, "to reassure [local Muslims] that we’re here for them." After all, "I don’t think we can tolerate bigotry toward the Muslim population. They’re an important part of our city."

What we can't afford to tolerate is Islamic terrorism, but the Boston Police Commissioner insists on taking a more vocal stand against the exaggerated threat of anti-Muslim prejudice. Too bad that, as Spencer wrote, Evans "never asked members of the Islamic Society of Boston why so many Muslims don’t yearn for peace at all, but seem instead to relish war." Spencer went on to enumerate examples of ISB members who didn't seem to get Evans' memo:

    -- The Boston Marathon jihad murderers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

    -- Aafia Siddiqui, who is serving an 86-year sentence for trying to kill American soldiers

    -- Tarek Mehanna, who is serving seventeen years for aiding al-Qaeda

    -- Ahmad Abousamra, whom before he was killed in an American airstrike was thought to be a principal architect of the Islamic State’s social media presence

    -- The Islamic Society of Boston’s founder, Abdurrahman Alamoudi, was once a major player in Washington and the nation’s most prominent moderate Muslim. Now he is serving a twenty-three year sentence for charges including fundraising for al-Qaeda.

No doubt Evans, like all Islamic apologists, considers those to be examples of people who followed a twisted interpretation of religion that has nothing to do with Islam. Because, hey, Muslims yearn for peace, and aren't all of us - Jews, Christians, and all the rest - really Muslim deep down inside?

White House Spokesman Claims America is Safer Now Than it Was Eight Years Ago (VIDEO)

 ???  ::)

Three days after the worst terror attack on American soil since 9/11, White House spokesman Josh Earnest is claiming we’re safer now than we were when Obama assumed office.

CNS News reports:

WH Spokesman: ‘Our Country Is Safer Than It Was 8 Years Ago’

“The president does believe it is important that his successor is somebody who recognizes that our country is safer than it was eight years ago, that we enhanced our standing around the world, that we’ve strengthened our alliances — that we have refined and improved and strengthened our homeland security,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Tuesday.

“The American people do face a question about whether or not they want to build on that progress, because there surely is more that can be done to protect the American people,” he added.

They're only saying what everyone's tickled ears want to hear.

With that being said - don't go out at night, PERIOD, especially LATE AT NIGHT - I say this b/c when I was a lost man living in New Orleans years ago - one summer in 2001 I would drive around town really late at night (sometimes by myself, other times with a friend). I will say that I was INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE to STAY ALIVE, b/c New Orleans is one of the biggest crime cities in America. Otherwise, I would to this day be burning 6 feet under. (and I remember Scott Johnson said that when he was lost, he a number of times drove around recklessly, but came out unscathed with barely a scratch).

The wee hours of the night is the devil's hour - if you happen to stay up, just read your bible, or listen to the Scourby KJB audio. Otherwise, you deserve a really good night's sleep.

Psalm 4:8  I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Trump campaign official blames Clinton for 'encouraging the murder' of Dallas police
7/8/16

The chairman of Donald Trump's Republican presidential campaign in Virginia on Friday blamed Hillary Clinton "for essentially encouraging the murder" of police officers in Dallas.

"Liberal politicians who label police as racists--specifically Hillary Clinton and Virginia Lt. Governor Ralph Northam--are to blame for essentially encouraging the murder of these police officers tonight," Corey Stewart wrote in a Facebook post that has since been deleted, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Five police officers were killed in Dallas Thursday night when four gunmen opened fire during a protest against police violence.

The Trump and Clinton campaigns did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, condemned the attack in a tweet on Friday, saying she mourned the officers who were protecting protesters.

Jill Stein: Istanbul Terrorism Has Nothing to Do With Islam, Everything to Do with Climate Change
And this woman wants to be President of the United States.

In a  tweet that apparently has since been deleted, former Presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein responded on Twitter to the New Year's Eve Istanbul terror attack that left nearly 40 dead by blaming it not on Islam, but on climate change.

Thanks to a screen capture by Weasel Zippers, here is Stein's tweet:

If you ever needed further evidence that the radical left is irrationally, willfully blind about both Islam and climate change, look no further than this tweet from the woman who also tweeted, at midnight that same night, that "Eco-socialism will save humanity!"

In her defense, perhaps the Russians hacked her Twitter account to embarrass her

VIDEO: Katie Couric Says A FEMALE FETUS Can Feel Like It Is A MALE!

 :D  :D  :D

Liberal Katie Couric Becomes Pseudo Medical Doctor

Last week Katie Couric appeared on the TV with Ellen DeGeneres to talk about her upcoming National Geographic documentary Gender Revolution according to Newsbusters. It is quite shocking that National Geographic is doing a documentary with Couric since she came under intense fire for deceptively editing an anti-gun documentary.

Newsbusters points out that “Katie Couric sympathizes with the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood. But when it comes to gender, she admits that the unborn can “feel.”

Partial Transcript:

“Just because you operate on a child and tell that child you’re a certain gender, that doesn’t necessarily coincide with who that person feels he or she actually is.”…

…“In the later stages of development, it’s when your brain is wired, and sometimes a surge of testosterone can make… a female fetus feel as if that baby is male or that person is male.”

MSNBC’s Morning Joe Deeply Concerned That Trump Wants To WIN Wars (Video)

Yes, if you fight a war, you want to win that war. The US has not won a war since the first Gulf War.

Morning Joe Concerned Trump Wants To Win Wars

On Tuesdays edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski discussed with a panel President Trump’s desire to increase defense spending by $54 billion.

The Morning Joe and it’s panel proceeded to attack President Trump for “wanting to win wars,” which is in reference to a comment that President Trump made yesterday when speaking to the nations governors.

Trump said “We have to win. We have to start winning wars again. I have to say when I was young in high school and college, everybody used to say we never lost a war. We never lost a war, you remember. And now we never win a war. We never win. And we don’t fight to win. It’s either win or don’t fight it at all.”

Grandfather of Dead Home Invader Claims Using AR-15 Not Fair Fight

I don't think he knows how self defense works.

Remeemember that feel-good story last week about three home invasion burglars taken down by an AR-15? Now the grandfather of one of the deceased criminals is claiming that the “fight” was unfair.

The attempted burglary happened in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, at the home of Zachary Peters, 23, who grabbed his rifle to defend himself against three invaders. Peters shot each suspect one time in the chest protecting his life and the property of his parents. The three suspects, all teenagers, died at the scene: Maxwell Cook, 19, Jacob Redfearn, 17, and Jaycob Woodruff, 16. Peters then barricaded himself in his bedroom and called police.

But Redfearn’s grandfather says that because the boys were armed with only brass knuckles, the fight was unfair.

“What these three boys did was stupid,” Leroy Schumacher said. “They knew they could be punished for it but they did not deserve to die.”

“Brass knuckles against an AR-15? Come on, who was afraid for their life?” he continued. “There’s got to be a limit to that law. I mean he shot all three of them. There was no need for that.”

Here's a thought for Mr. Schumacher: if you don't want to get shot, don't commit a home invasion. Problem solved.

MSNBC’s Ruhle Claims Cancer and Being a Woman Same Pre-Existing Condition
But, but, but what media bias?
 :D

msnSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle has just marginalized anyone who has a life-threatening disease by comparing it to — gasp — being a woman.

Ruhle made the ridiculous equation on Tuesday when talking about the GOP healthcare bill with her guest, liberal blogger Jeff Jarvis, who mentioned his very serious pre-existing conditions including prostate and thyroid cancer and a heart condition. But not wanting him to get a leg up, Ruhle stated she, too, has a pre-existing condition: her gender classification:

“Jeff Jarvis doesn’t get to win the pre-existing condition battle because you’re on my show. And I, too, have a pre-existing condition — I’m a woman.”

Correction, your pre-existing condition is having no heart, because you just downgraded cancer, heart disease, blindness, asthma, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, and tuberculosis to being born a girl. We're sure the children who are experiencing the horror of some of these diseases feel your pain, Stephanie.

Ruhle's trite apology can be expected on Wednesday.

Skip to 1:45 in the above video for the anger-inducing comment about her gender victimization.

Chris Matthews: GOP Picking on Nancy Pelosi Because She’s an ‘Ethnic Person’

 It all started with a tingle going up Chris Matthews’ thigh, but it went straight to his head and apparently, short-circuited his brain. On Monday, the MSNBC host said Republicans are targeting Nancy Pelosi because she is an “ethnic person.”

Take a second to absorb such idiocy.

Matthews and his panel were discussing the pushback from the GOP and President Trump against the California Democrat for having such a sour face during the State of the Union as well as her jabs at the tax reform bill. Instead of brushing it off as politics as usual, Matthews one-upped even himself by finding a far more nefarious reason Pelosi is being attacked:

    "Picking on somebody from one of the coasts, usually ethnic, and making them the poster person of the Democratic Party is old business for the Republicans. They did it with — way back — to some guy from the Bronx back in the 40s; they did it with Bella Abzug from the west side of New York City; they did it to Tip O’Neil; they did it to Teddy… Kennedy, and now they do it after Nancy Pelosi. They love to get an ethnic sort of person from one of the coasts and make them the bad person.”

Matthews is as confused about Pelosi as Elizabeth Warren is about herself. Then again, it’s the Democrats telling us George Zimmerman is white, Rachel Dolezal is black, and Bruce Jenner is a woman. What do we know?

Andrew Cuomo: 'We Didn't Have Hurricanes' Before Climate Change

 :D

On Friday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) said that hurricanes, superstorms, and tornadoes did not occur before climate change. In the same breath, he said that anyone who questions the left's climate-alarmist hysteria is "just delusional." He may want to check in a mirror.

After he finished berating President Donald Trump in an interview with MSNBC, Cuomo turned to his latest attempt to enforce climate change orthodoxy.

"You know, anyone who questions extreme weather and climate change is just delusional at this point," Cuomo said. "We have seen in the State of New York what everyone is seeing. We see these weather patterns that we never had before. We didn’t have hurricanes, we didn’t have superstorms, we didn’t have tornadoes."

While it is at least plausible that carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels might lead to increasing global temperatures and rising sea levels, it takes a special kind of insanity to think that there were no hurricanes or tornadoes before human beings started burning carbon for energy.

Even interpreting Cuomo's words charitably, the governor said that New York State did not experience hurricanes, superstorms, and tornadoes until the effects of manmade climate change. It is difficult to assess this claim, because written records do not go very far back, but even this less delusional suggestion is entirely incorrect.

An analysis of sedimentary evidence from New Jersey showed that a major hurricane struck the New York/New Jersey area between 1278 and 1438, long before the internal combustion engine. Another hurricane tracked parallel to the East Coast with impacts on New England and New York in August 1635. On September 8, 1667, a "severe storm" was reported in Manhattan. The Great Storm of 1693 caused severe damage on Land Island in October 1693. In September 1785, ships crashed into Governors Island as a result of powerful waves reportedly generated by a tropical cyclone. In August 1788, a hurricane struck New York City or Long Island, causing severe flooding and leaving the west side of the Battery "in ruins."

Unless the Iroquois and their ancestors were secretly burning fossil fuels — and cleverly erased the evidence they did so — Cuomo's statement about there having been no hurricanes and superstorms in New York prior to climate change is flat-out wrong. A simple Google search would have set him straight.

Furthermore, his remarks illustrate how climate alarmism can cloud someone's judgment. It is flat-out ridiculous to suggest that extreme weather did not exist before human beings pumped carbon into the atmosphere. After all, Earth's atmosphere has had far more carbon in the past than it does today.

While the climate change narrative may make logical sense, the data does not support the left's alarmist position. Scientists and alarmists have predicted various kinds of doomsday scenarios — extreme cold, extreme heat, glaciers melting, cities underwater — none of which have come to pass. In one of the most embarrassing examples, alarmists predicted that The Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean would sink beneath the waves in 2018 — and the islands are still there. In fact, they have actually grown in recent years!

It is far from "delusional" to question the "climate change consensus." Cuomo's remarks were far more delusional.

H/T William Davis, the Daily Caller.
