PICTURE: This Map DESTROYS the Left’s ‘Voter ID Laws are Racist’ Myth:

"In short: to the left, voting is a sacred right that should be free from the hassle of obtaining ID. However, utilizing one’s Second Amendment right is offered no such consideration. Further, neither is getting on an airplane, gambling, buying a beer, buying cigarettes, applying for a house, driving a car, obtaining a passport or any number of the hundreds of things one must need an ID to do."

“Just make a list and say, ‘Could you live without these factors?’ And they find we make 12,000 different products that go into 120,000 different end uses. Without the petrochemical industry, virtually everything we see, feel, wear, and touch [would be different] — and particularly in medical supplies, particularly in automobiles. We now make composites for airplanes. Instead of metals, we have lightweight plastics so you can fly cheaply and get better gasoline mileage.”

Who is the bigger threat to peace – America or ISIS? – Glenn Beck

Who is the bigger threat to peace – America or ISIS? – Glenn Beck:

"Campus Reform visited Harvard recently to ask students if America or ISIS poses a bigger threat world peace. On the plus side for Harvard, at least they knew what ISIS was – but it’s all downhill from there. The indoctrinated students simply regurgitate their progressive professors radical views, and it was all caught on tape.
“Harvard students have been asked what’s the bigger threat to world peace: America or ISIS, you know the people who are currently beheading people. What’s the bigger crisis and biggest threat to world peace?” Glenn said.  WATCH:"

How Big Government Bonuses Rule the Beltway, Despite Systemic Bureaucratic Failures | TheBlaze.com:

 "Big government bonuses took center stage this year after a litany of reports revealed that Veterans Affairs officials had been receiving millions of dollars in performance incentives despite unfathomable failures inside the department, including months-long and falsified waiting lists for wounded veterans to receive medical care. Now, the department has said, three of its officials are in the process of being fired and a fourth has retired."

"Comforting" to "know" our government is on top of this issue.........Relax! TSA will screen for Ebola in airports

Relax! TSA will screen for Ebola in airports:
....You think the TSA abuses its power by confiscating your shaving gel and contact solution? 
How will it screen for Ebola? 
And who will it screen? 
As of this moment, it has no idea:

“All options are on the table for further strengthening the screening process here in the U.S.,” a federal official said. That includes thermometer checks for fever, something West African authorities are already carrying out.
  But finding the right passengers to screen is not so simple.
  Direct flights from Ebola-affected areas are rare.

Travelers typically take flights that connect through other countries. “Then they come here, so that makes it more of a challenge,” the official said.

Roman Collared: 2 Brothers, Both Priests, Same Alleged Sin: Stealing Church Funds –  Deadline Detroit:
"A popular Catholic priest in Plymouth was removed Thursday as law enforcement officials investigate whether he improperly used parish funds — just as his brother, also a priest, is accused of doing at a Troy parish, according to Niraj Warikoo in the Free Press.
In a letter sent Thursday to parishioners at St. Kenneth Parish, Auxiliary Bishop Francis Reiss wrote that the Rev. Thomas Belczak, 60, "has been required to step aside as pastor of St. Kenneth Parish, effective October 9.
This action results from a law enforcement investigation into the alleged improper use of St. Kenneth Parish funds."
His brother the Rev. Edward Belczak, 69, and his church administrator were indicted in April for stealing about $700,000 from St. Thomas More Church in Troy over eight years, according to federal prosecutors."

“Is there a point at which that cost-benefit analysis tips, and it would be seen as a mistake to let people to travel here without a quarantine period?” a reporter asked. “Is it one American contracting Ebola? Is it five, is it 10?”

Must see video! Proof that "eco-friendly" power may destroy civilization!!!-------Madison Environmental Protesters

Madison Environmental Protesters - Right Wisconsin - Conservative politics and perspective powered by Charlie Sykes:
"Here's an idea : When protesting energy policy, make sure your props require less wattage than what eco-friendly sources of power can actually produce.
Demonstrators gathered outside the Public Service Commission to protest against a requested rate structure change by the local utility company, Madison Gas and Electric (MG&E).
During the protest, they decried the use of "dirty coal" and called for more renewable energy.
To make their point, they had a blow-up coal power plant that was running on a fan powered by wind and solar charged batteries.
Before the protest was over, however, the batteries died and their solar panel could not produce enough energy to keep the power plant standing upright."

San Francisco Makes Businesses Provide Commuter Benefits

San Francisco Makes Businesses Provide Commuter Benefits:
"Employers in the San Francisco Bay Area are adjusting to a new regulation this month that requires them to provide commuter benefits to employees.
The Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program mandates private, public and non-profit companies with 50 or more full-time employees to offer commuter benefits in an effort to “improve air quality and reduce traffic congestion.”
On Sept. 30, employers in the Bay Area Air Quality Management District—which includes nine counties in Northern California—had to comply with the new program or face civil penalties up to $10,000 per day under California’s air pollution control laws."

Ho-Lee Crap!!!----Marine General John F. Kelly: 'No way we can keep Ebola [contained] in West Africa'

Marine General John F. Kelly: 'No way we can keep Ebola [contained] in West Africa' by Kevin Whiteman:

"With most of the American media missing this, the Department of Defense’s Defense Media Activity generically reported on Oct. 8, 2014 that the Marine Corps four star in command of the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM-Responsible for all U.S. military activities in South America and Central America. Encompasses nineteen countries, represents about one-sixth of the world's land mass ...) painted a none too rosy picture regarding the spread of the Ebola virus from West Africa to the Americas.
While delivering a speech at the Defense Department’s National Defense University in Washington, D.C., Gen. John F. Kelly cited the government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when he stated that by New Year’s Day there will be 1.4 million people infected, and of that number, 62 percent will be dying.
The Commanding General of SOUTHCOM also made note that if and when the Ebola virus comes to the Western Hemisphere, “many countries have little ability to deal with an outbreak of the disease.” Continuing, Kelly also stated,
“So, much like West Africa, it will rage for a period of time.
This is a particularly possible scenario if the disease gets to Haiti or Central America.”

Speaking very matter-of-factly, Gen. Kelly recognized the 800 pound gorilla in the room that critics of Barack Obama and his Administration accuse him of ignoring:
“If the disease gets to countries like Guatemala, Honduras or El Salvador, it will cause a panic and people will flee the region. 
If it breaks out, it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States.”"

Why Honeycrisp apples are so expensive

Why Honeycrisp apples are so expensive | WOODTV.com:
"SPARTA, Mich. (WOOD) — Fall in Michigan means apples.
In the last dozen years or so, there has been one apple that stands out from the rest — Honeycrisp.
Honeycrisp apple lovers have suffered severe sticker shock at the grocery store.
Oftentimes, Honeycrisps are more than four times as expensive as other varieties of apples.
.....There are many reasons that add to the cost of Honeycrisp apples, and it all starts on the farm.
The Honeycrisp variety was developed by the University of Minnesota, which still holds the patent. So for every Honeycrisp yielding tree a grower buys, they have to pay a $1 royalty to the University of Minnesota.
That’s not the case for more common and older varieties like Red Delicious.
The trees which grow Honeycrisp apples are relatively weak and yield very large fruit, so they require a trellis system to hold them up and keep their branches from breaking or hitting the ground.

No worries, the best and the brightest are protecting us........... Jen Psaki, State Dept Spokeswoman Can’t Find Examples of Iraqi Security Force Success. Priceless!

Video: Jen Psaki, State Dept Spokeswoman Can’t Find Examples of Iraqi Security Force Success. Priceless! | The Minority Report Blog:
"We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, every U.S. State Department briefing now looks like a Saturday Night Live comedy skit. 
United States State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki tells a reporter that he is wrong in saying that there have been no Iraqi Security Force successes against ISIS/Islamic State fighters. 
Then Jen Psaki tells the reporter that there are many examples of success and that she will “tick down” and list some examples of Iraqi Security Force success for the reporter. 
She shuffles through papers and can’t find any. 
The reporter replies, “so I guess this means there aren’t any, right?” 
Another priceless skit from our State Department SNL players.

Watch the video below. 

After you chuckle, realize that these people are leading our country now and try not to throw up."

Healthcare Workers Just Revealed The Truth About Ebola That Obama Wants To Stay A Secret

Healthcare Workers Just Revealed The Truth About Ebola That Obama Wants To Stay A Secret: "According to the CDC, 1.7 million people are infected by healthcare related infections every year in this country, with over 99,000 dying from hospital acquired infections.
While the CDC plays lip service to how prepared they are to prevent an Ebola outbreak, the facts are far different from what’s being reported. If our nation’s hospitals can’t even prevent normal everyday infections from spreading inside their doors, what do you think will happen during an actual pandemic outbreak?"

This News Caused Glenn Beck to Shout to America: ‘Wake the Hell Up!’

This News Caused Glenn Beck to Shout to America: ‘Wake the Hell Up!’:

"Beck was especially stunned at the new that NBC was willing to do “anything” to hire admitted socialist comedian Jon Stewart of Comedy Central to host Meet the Press, NBC’s flagship long-running Sunday political talk show, which has gone straight downhill after the sad early death of legendary, iconic former host Tim Russert in 2008.
As reported on The Blaze,  Beck brought up other stories this week that are signs of a complete takeover of free speech by progressive political-correctness, including the American schools that are banning the terms “boys” and “girls” because somehow they are not terms the PC police deem as being “gender inclusive.”
