Meijer beats Target, Wal-Mart and Best Buy for Black Friday deals in national survey

Meijer beats Target, Wal-Mart and Best Buy for Black Friday deals in national survey | MLive.com
WALKER, MI — Midwest retailer Meijer is showing it can hold its own against national retailers when it comes to Black Friday deals.

The Walker-based retailer, with 213 stores in a five state footprint, came in fourth on the list of best retailers in an analysis of Black Friday ads by WalletHub.

The personal finance social network said the results are based on a survey of 5,525 deals from the 2014 Black Friday ad scans of 22 of the biggest U.S. retailers. 

The results show which retailer has the deepest discounts by category. 

What it doesn't capture are which retailers that have the lowest price on one hot item like a 50-inch TV or a Xbox bundle.

Meijer has an average discount of 52 percent. 

Topping the list was department store chain JCPenney with an average discount of 65 percent followed by Macy’s and Rite Aid with discounts of 54 and 53 percent, respectively.

Only 50% Of Scientists Blame Mankind for Climate Change In New Study

Only 50% Of Scientists Blame Mankind for Climate Change In New Study:

"In fact, many studies cast doubt on climate alarmism and many scientists have differing views from the so-called "consensus." In 2010, Marc Morano released a collection of more than 1000 scientists who “challenged man-made global warming claims.” Similarly the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change aggregated “thousands of peer-reviewed scientific journal articles that do not support” man-made climate change.

Interestingly, a third of farmers surveyed claimed they had not noticed any significant effects of global warming. This is an inconvenient realization for the many alarmists that believe climate change is already disrupting weather.

L.A. school district pays $139 million to settle sex abuse claims

L.A. school district pays $139 million to settle sex abuse claims - EAGnews.org
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles school district has settled a civil lawsuit with dozens of victims of infamous child-molesting teacher Mark Berndt for $139 million.

Attorneys representing 150 clients with sexual abuse claims against the Los Angeles Unified School District announced Friday they reached a settlement with the district for $139 million, avoiding a jury trial that would have required the victims to testify, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The settlement covers claims by parents and students impacted by the heinous sexual deeds of former Miramonte Elementary Teacher Mark Berndt, who was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison for decades of student sex abuse. The case is the second involving Berndt’s victims, as dozens of claims were settled last year for $30 million, according to the news site.

Obama's Amnesty Will Cost $22,000 Per U.S. College Grad

Obama's Amnesty Will Cost $22,000 Per U.S. College Grad | The Daily Caller:
President Barack Obama’s amnesty for four million illegal immigrants will cost Americans about $2 trillion, or roughly $40 billion a year for the next five decades.
The cost of Obama’s generosity is equivalent to 30 cents extra for every gallon of gas bought by Americans.
Or a $10 monthly fee added to every cellphone.
Or a $22,000 tax on every American graduate’s four-year college degree.
The $2 trillion cost is driven by the federal government’s support for all poor people, says Robert Rector, a budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation. Rector explained that, on average, the illegal immigrants benefiting from the amnesty have a 10th grade education.

War against men-------Men Who Don’t Sit and Cross their Legs are “Manifestation of Patriarchal Privilege”

Time Magazine: Men Who Don’t Sit and Cross their Legs are “Manifestation of Patriarchal Privilege” | PUNDIT PRESS:
Time Magazine has declared that men who are able to sit and not cross their legs are a “manifestation of patriarchal privilege.” Pundit Press was the first site to report on this specific passage.

In an article called, “‘Man Spreaders,’ There’s No Excuse for Not Closing Your Legs on the Subway,” Time’s Etiquette section slammed men who do not sit with their legs together. 

But more than it being impolite and against etiquette, there is a much bigger problem with men like this: they are proliferating “the patriarchy.”

The article explains that men sitting with their legs apart “is the most visual manifestation of patriarchal privilege and that is why it is especially angering.” 

Again, people who sit like this are not just inconsiderate, particularly if there is little space, but they are actively pushing their male-centric agenda.

The author, Brian Moylan, then states that people don’t like men with their legs apart because “everyone” thinks of the oppression of women: 

“It says to everyone, “I find this comfortable and I am a man so my comfort comes before all else in this entire universe and especially you.” 

That’s why people hate this.”

And if you spread your legs when you sit, you’re not a real man, the article explains: 

“Men are saying that they don’t care about anyone else, and that is awful. 

They think that it is somehow manly, by claiming their territory. 

That is not manly.”

The article also included this apparently terrifying picture that it saved on its website as “Manspreading subway:”

And the Records Keep Falling

And the Records Keep Falling | Somewhat Reasonable
America is experiencing record setting cold, any where you go or live, you just can’t avoid it.

Weather Bell says it best:

The Lower-48 or CONUS spatially average temperature plummeted overnight to only 19.4°F typical of mid-winter not November 18th!   

An astounding 226-million Americans will experience at or below freezing temperatures (32°F) on Tuesday as well — if you venture outdoors.

More than 85% of the surface area of the Lower-48 reached or fell below freezing Tuesday morning. All 50-states saw at or below freezing temperatures on Tuesday.

Record lows from Idaho to Nebraska and Iowa south to Texas and east through the Great Lakes, the eastern 2/3 of the US will shatter decades-long and in some cases, century-long records. Temperatures east of the Rockies will be 20-40°F below climate normals.

Compared to normal, temperatures over the past several days have dropped off a cliff — to 10°C below climate normal — more anomalous than even during the polarvortex of early January.

How cold is it? Boston.com reports that during the past week, 1,360 daily low maximum records were set — meaning  those ,1360 cities and towns saw their coldest daily highs ever recorded on that particular date.

$15 miminum wage?------I spent a weekend on a cruise ship staffed by robot bartenders

I spent a weekend on a cruise ship staffed by robot bartenders | The Verge:
 "The two robots are perfectly efficient, fast bartenders. 
They always select the perfect amounts of Bulleit borboun, ice, and lime, and shake it just so before dumping it carefully into my plastic cup.
They move in fluid, full gestures, almost as if they're human.
(Their programmers studied an Italian dancer, strapping sensors to him as he moved and using his movements to teach the robots how to operate.)
They pick from 127 bottles arrayed above them, and at one point, they stop pouring drinks and they dance."

"Remember how Obama said during his amnesty announcement on Thursday that he only wants to deport criminals, not children and law-abiding family members who happen to be illegal aliens? Yeah, that was a lie. Now we find that new rules issued by his Department of Homeland Security ends the deportation of illegals convicted of drunk driving, sex abuse, drug dealing and the like."

WaPo gives Obama three Pinocchios on Keystone « Hot Air:

"The most embarrassing part of this answer is that all of this gets explained in the report on the Keystone XL pipeline project prepared by none other than Obama’s own State Department — published almost a year ago. “The president might want to study it before he addresses the Keystone question again,” Kessler tartly recommends before issuing three Pinocchios to Obama for an absolute falsehood that his own administration has roundly debunked. That presumes, however, that Obama cares about getting to the truth on Keystone, rather than lie to the Grubes on behalf of his progressive agenda, just as his administration repeatedly did with ObamaCare."

Government Agency Under Scrutiny for Telework Abuse

Government Agency Under Scrutiny for Telework Abuse:
"The federal office that stripped the Washington Redskins’ trademark has lost control of its “teleworkers,” who are reportedly gaming the system on the taxpayers’ dime, according to recent reports.
The Washington Post reported that “generous agreements” with three unions at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office have undermined the agency’s productivity and credibility.
.....“Supervisors are not provided sufficient tools for ensuring that their employees are actually working the hours claimed,” Zinser testified.
“Further, USPTO senior management has essentially prohibited supervisors and employee relations personnel from obtaining building and computer records to follow up on employees suspected of misrepresenting time worked on their timesheets.”
As a result, Zinser said, Patent and Trademark Office examiners can earn pay for time they didn’t work and receive performance bonuses they didn’t deserve. He didn’t provide figures or dollar amounts.
“Managers are prohibited, for example, from requiring employees they supervise to put a device on their computers that shows when they are working, a tool unions call an invasion of privacy,” the Post reported.
“Examiners who work from home, the majority of the workforce, have 24 hours to respond to a telephone call from their boss. There is no requirement that examiners tell their supervisors when they plan to work, as long as the work gets done,” the Post noted."

Why 2014 Won’t Be the Warmest Year on Record

Why 2014 Won’t Be the Warmest Year on Record « Roy Spencer, PhD
Much is being made of the “global” surface thermometer data, which three-quarters the way through 2014 is now suggesting the global average this year will be the warmest in the modern instrumental record.

I claim 2014 won’t be the warmest global-average year on record.
..if for no other reason than this: thermometers cannot measure global averages — only satellites can. The satellite instruments measure nearly every cubic kilometer – hell, every cubic inch — of the lower atmosphere on a daily basis. You can travel hundreds if not thousands of kilometers without finding a thermometer nearby.

(And even if 2014 or 2015 turns out to be the warmest, this is not a cause for concern…more about that later).

...In my opinion, though, a bigger problem than the spotty sampling of the thermometer data is the endless adjustment game applied to the thermometer data. The thermometer network is made up of a patchwork of non-research quality instruments that were never made to monitor long-term temperature changes to tenths or hundredths of a degree, and the huge data voids around the world are either ignored or in-filled with fictitious data.

Furthermore, land-based thermometers are placed where people live, and people build stuff, often replacing cooling vegetation with manmade structures that cause an artificial warming (urban heat island, UHI) effect right around the thermometer. The data adjustment processes in place cannot reliably remove the UHI effect because it can’t be distinguished from real global warming.

....In the meantime, the alarmists will continue to use the outdated, spotty, and heavily-massaged thermometer data to support their case. For a group that trumpets the high-tech climate modeling effort used to guide energy policy — models which have failed to forecast (or even hindcast!) the lack of warming in recent years — they sure do cling bitterly to whatever will support their case.

As British economist Ronald Coase once said, “If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything.”
