"No tolerance" gone crazy-----Detroit teacher fired after breaking up fight with broom

Detroit teacher fired after breaking up fight with broom - Fox 2 News Headlines:
"DETROIT (WJBK) - A Detroit teacher has been fired after a cell phone video surfaced of her breaking up a fight between two students with a broom.
In the video, the two male students are fighting for at least half a minute before the teacher intervenes.
Several students can be seen standing by as the two fight, knocking over desks.
When the teacher does intervene, she appears to strike one of the students on the back with a broom multiple times.
The student backs off, but then the other student runs back towards him and the fight continues.
The fight finally appears to end up when a student steps in and pulls the two apart.
The video ends moments later.
Now, the Pershing High School teacher is out of a job as the school district says it does not tolerate child abuse."

China plans for North Korean regime collapse leaked

China plans for North Korean regime collapse leaked - Telegraph:
Beijing's lack of faith in rule of Kim Jong-un exposed in contingency plans to detain key North Korean leaders, set up border refugee camps and respond to "foreign forces"
China has drawn up detailed contingency plans for the collapse of the North Korean government, suggesting that Beijing has little faith in the longevity of Kim Jong-un’s regime.
Documents drawn up by planners from China’s People’s Liberation Army that were leaked to Japanese media include proposals for detaining key North Korean leaders and the creation of refugee camps on the Chinese side of the frontier in the event of an outbreak of civil unrest in the secretive state.
........China, which is North Korea’s sole remaining significant supporter, also refused to export any crude oil over its border to the North in the first three months of the year."

Americans now ‘racist’ for waving American flag

Americans now ‘racist’ for waving American flag:
"Americans now are being blasted as “racist” for the simple act of waving an American flag. 
It happened Monday in California to a small group of protesters who waved U.S. flags in front of a school where officials had banned the practice to avoid violence threatened by Hispanic students celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
The controversy developed in 2010, when school officials ordered students not to wear U.S. flag-themed shirts on the Mexican holiday.
The ban has been upheld by a federal appeals court.
The controversy brought a small group of protesters out Monday, and the community reacted immediately.
“What’s wrong with these white people holding up American flags in Morgan hill??? Racist a–holes,” wrote Gia Lee in a feed monitored by Twitchy."

What?! Mexican Army Invades America Through Arizona!

What?! Mexican Army Invades America Through Arizona!:
"It is hardly news anymore that Mexican citizens, emboldened by the left’s embrace of amnesty, are crossing America’s southern border with increasingly brazenness. This week, however, authorities in Arizona confirmed the U.S. was actually invaded by a number of soldiers with the Mexican Army earlier this year.
The apparently rogue unit of armed forces was tasked with patrolling the Mexican side of the Arizona border, reports indicate. According to a letter to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn alleges that soldiers within the unit crossed into Arizona and pointed their weapons at agents with the U.S. Border Patrol."

Judge Jeanine BLASTS Obama on Benghazi: ‘You Condemn Anyone Who Says Something Negative About Islam’

Judge Jeanine BLASTS Obama on Benghazi: ‘You Condemn Anyone Who Says Something Negative About Islam’:

 "Mr. President, none of us want to believe that our president would let Americans die, but the arrogance, the failure to act, the lies, the cover-up make it clear that you, Mr. President, have defrauded the American people. You, Mr. President, have violated your constitutional oath. You have not faithfully executed your duties in the Office of the President. "

“I have evidence that, not only are they hiding it, there’s an intent to hide it,” said Gowdy, who will head the new Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi terrorist attacks. Gowdy said that 20 months is too long of a time to wait to get to the truth and that he’s glad the decision was finally made to start the committee. "

Obama lied. Americans died------Don't tune out the newest Benghazi developments

Don't tune out the newest Benghazi developments - chicagotribune.com:
"Remember that the attack in Benghazi took place on Sept. 11, 2012, just as President Barack Obama was beginning his final push toward re-election.
The Democratic National Convention had just ended, and the message was: Obama had killed Osama bin Laden, and terrorism had been caged.
The terrorist attack in Benghazi was immediately characterized by the White House as spontaneous protests, prompted by a crude anti-Islamic video on the Internet.
That wasn't the case.
There was nothing impromptu or spontaneous about the attack that killed Ambassador Stevens and the three others.
It was a planned terrorist strike.
And still, even though this was known, the White House sent then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice out on the Sunday talk shows to sell the video story and set that false version in the public's mind.
Why?
My take is because to talk about a planned terrorist strike — rather than a spontaneous uprising over a ridiculous video — would have directly undercut the president's politics and his message that al-Qaida was dead.
 And getting re-elected was more important to the Obama White House than telling the truth about four dead Americans."
...By not releasing the Rhodes emails fully to Congress, the Obama White House clearly showed its contempt for the House.
And depending on your politics, you might agree with the strategy.
It got Obama through his roughest debates and helped confuse the issue enough that he was re-elected.
But if we allow our nation's leaders to let politics obscure how our government works, we are making a fatal mistake.
That's how fools lose the Republic.
And those four in Benghazi weren't fools.
They died for our country, and years of political cover-up can't obscure that.
Again, their names were Stevens, Smith, Doherty and Woods.
They didn't die for politics.

6 Environmental Truths the Left Conveniently Ignores

6 Environmental Truths the Left Conveniently Ignores:

What Obama Did on September 11, 2012

Articles: What Obama Did on September 11, 2012
In fact, it was not until May 19, 2013, eight months after the attack, that a newsman asked a White House spokesman what Obama did that night.
The newsman was Chris Wallace of Fox News.
“The ambassador goes missing, ends up the first ambassador in more than thirty years is killed.
Four Americans, including the ambassador, are killed. Dozens of Americans are in jeopardy,” asked Wallace of Dan Pfeiffer, a senior adviser to the president.
“Where was he?
What did he do?
How did he respond?”
The crafty Pfeiffer would not even acknowledge whether Obama was in the situation room.
As Wallace knew, Obama and his advisers planned military strategy in the situation room. 
They planned political strategy upstairs in the family quarters. 
If Pfeiffer was savvy enough to duck that question, Vietor apparently was not. 
His answer confirms my own suspicions about where Obama was and what he did that evening. 
As the evidence attests, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton played a critical role in this dumb show.

Citycide----------Seattle might raise its minimum wage to $15. This is not a good idea.

Seattle might raise its minimum wage to $15. This is not a good idea.:
"Yesterday, Murray announced a plan that would gradually raise Seattle’s minimum wage to $15 an hour and tie it to inflation, which won approval from a large committee of business and labor leaders, as well as some city council members.
Today, Washington state’s minimum is a comparatively piddly $9.32.
The full council still has to consider Murray’s proposal, but should it pass, Seattle might not just have a far higher minimum wage than its surrounding suburbs, where businesses can easily move; it might well have the highest minimum wage in the world."

Spy Plane Fries Air Traffic Control Computers, Shuts Down LAX

Spy Plane Fries Air Traffic Control Computers, Shuts Down LAX - NBC News.com:
"A relic from the Cold War appears to have triggered a software glitch at a major air traffic control center in California Wednesday that led to delays and cancellations of hundreds of flights across the country, sources familiar with the incident told NBC News.
On Wednesday at about 2 p.m., according to sources, a U-2 spy plane, the same type of aircraft that flew high-altitude spy missions over Russia 50 years ago, passed through the airspace monitored by the L.A. Air Route Traffic Control Center in Palmdale, Calif.
The L.A. Center handles landings and departures at the region’s major airports, including Los Angeles International (LAX), San Diego and Las Vegas.
The computers at the L.A. Center are programmed to keep commercial airliners and other aircraft from colliding with each other.
The U-2 was flying at 60,000 feet, but the computers were attempting to keep it from colliding with planes that were actually miles beneath it.
Though the exact technical causes are not known, the spy plane’s altitude and route apparently overloaded a computer system called ERAM, which generates display data for air-traffic controllers. Back-up computer systems also failed."
