Will male babies be forced to have sunglasses implants in order to avoid "objectifying gazing"? Liberals want to stop men from checking out women

AG Holder and Moochelle gonna have some fun wit dis!
Liberals want to stop men from checking out women | The Daily Caller:
In the progressive future, men will not be able to look at women’s bodies because that is a terrible thing to do — and science says so.

Researchers have offered a definitive report into the science of the male “objectifying gaze” in the December 2013 volume of “Sex Roles: A Journal of Research” (Volume 69, Issue 11-12, pp 557-570).

"Fifty-one percent of the U.S. population is a victimized group now.
Don’t you know?
Women are like Indians now.
You can’t give them a once-over, a polite grin, and be on your way.
You can’t notice the fruits of their several-hour morning project of preparing themselves to be looked at. 
Pretty soon, looking at a woman’s chest will legally be a “hate” crime instead of a love crime.

It’s already started.
There was the Massachusetts secretary who sued her boss for staring at her breasts.
There was the social media uproar when two tech conference presenters in San Francisco made a joke presentation for an app based on men’s desire to stare at breasts.

This is what the progressives exist to do. 
They take away our activities. 
If it’s an activity and it’s kind of fun or pleasurable, the progressives are going to take it away.

That’s the very basis of their personality type. 
They’re the regulators. 
The hall monitors."

Sup? Did Obama take over the NFL? --No tailgating parties at Super Bowl stadium

This is shear thuggery!
No tailgating parties at Super Bowl stadium - ESPN New York

SECAUCUS, N.J. -- Forget about setting up those kegs or buffet tables in the parking lot before this season's Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium. There will be no tailgating, according to the game's committee CEO, Al Kelly.

"You will be allowed to have food in your car and have drink in your car," Kelly said. "And provided you're in the boundaries of a single parking space, you'll be able to eat or drink right next to your car. However, you're not going to be able to take out a lounge chair, you're not going to be able to take out a grill, and you're not going to be able to take up more than one parking space. And it'll all be watched very carefully."

“

You will be allowed to have food in your car and have drink in you car. And provided you're in the boundaries of a single parking space, you'll be able to eat or drink right next to your car.

”-- Al Kelly, Super Bowl committee

..There will be only three ways for the expected 80,000 ticket holders to get to the game. The committee will charter buses called the Fan Express, which will cost $51 and pick up and drop off passengers at nine locations around the region. Fans can also take N.J. Transit to the MetLife Stadium stop or be dropped off by vehicles that must have parking passes.

There will be fewer than 13,000 parking spots available for fans.

And hiring a black car, taxi or limo won't be an option for VIPs who will spend thousands of dollars per ticket. No cars will be allowed near the stadium on game day without parking passes, and any car that drops off a passenger will have to wait at the stadium.

...Fans who had considered parking farther from the stadium and getting there on foot will not be allowed to enter.

"You cannot walk to the Super Bowl," Kelly said. "You can get your hotel to drop you off at one of the New Jersey Transit locations or get the shuttle to take you to a Fan Express location, but you cannot walk."

Cellphone data spying: It's not just the NSA:
"The National Security Agency isn't the only government entity secretly collecting data from people's cellphones. Local police are increasingly scooping it up, too.

Armed with new technologies, including mobile devices that tap into cellphone data in real time, dozens of local and state police agencies are capturing information about thousands of cellphone users at a time, whether they are targets of an investigation or not, according to public records obtained by USA TODAY and Gannett newspapers and TV stations.

The records, from more than 125 police agencies in 33 states, reveal:

• About one in four law-enforcement agencies have used a tactic known as a "tower dump," which gives police data about the identity, activity and location of any phone that connects to the targeted cellphone towers over a set span of time, usually an hour or two. A typical dump covers multiple towers, and wireless providers, and can net information from thousands of phones."

Attorney: Holding 'Burn the Couch' Sign 'Not a Criminal Act':
"Is someone who holds up a sign at a game responsible for something that then happens in a city four hours away?

It's the question now being asked following a post on the East Lansing police department's official Facebook page Monday, asking for tips to help identify the man who held up the now arguably infamous 'Burn the Couch' sign seen during Saturday's broadcast of the MSU-OSU title game.

The post, which included a screen capture from the Saturday night broadcast of the game, said ELPD was looking to identify the person holding the sign and added that tips can remain anonymous.

....Connor Swanson, a graduate student at Michigan State, said he believed there was a possibility the sign might've encouraged people to behave the way they did.
"Who's to say if it would've happened if he didn't hold it up (the sign)," Swanson said. 
"I feel like people would've partied, but it wouldn't have been that crazy.""

"Detroit— Detroit police are considering making a second run at using “ShotSpotter” technology that uses sound sensors to find where gunshots are coming from, Chief James Craig said Friday.

...Mayor Dave Bing pushed two years ago for the city to sign a three-year, $2.6 million contract to use ShotSpotter, but the City Council narrowly rejected the measure.
Craig recently started drafting a plan for using the technology but has not requested funding from the city, said Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody, a department spokesman."

Coming Soon: Obamacare Burns Down Volunteer Fire Departments

The PJ Tatler » Coming Soon: Obamacare Burns Down Volunteer Fire Departments

Through the magic combination of Obamacare and the IRS, volunteer firefighters may be considered “employees,” and their volunteer fire departments may be forced to give them healthcare. Or pay penalties that would force them to shut down.

The International Association of Fire Chiefs has asked the Internal Revenue Service, which has partial oversight of the law, to clarify if current IRS treatment of volunteer firefighters as employees means their hose companies or towns must offer health insurance coverage or pay a penalty if they don’t.

“It could be a huge deal,” said U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-11, Hazleton, who is seeking clarification from the IRS. “In Pennsylvania, 97 percent of fire departments are fully or mostly volunteer firefighters. It’s the fourth highest amount in the country.”The organization representing the fire chiefs has been working on the issue with the IRS and White House for months.

So far, the IRS hasn’t decided what to do.

Efforts to reach spokesmen for the IRS were unsuccessful.

One would think that since volunteer firefighters aren’t paid, usually belong to small fire departments that operate on a shoestring and don’t work more than 29 hours per week fighting fires, Obamacare wouldn’t touch them. But the IRS considers all volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel to be employees. So the IRS could well rule that they must be extended healthcare, or their fire departments face penalties. The IRS hasn’t decided if it’s going to continue that thinking applied to Obamacare.

If it does, then volunteer fire departments will face a world of hurt. They could go away, leaving rural communities vulnerable.

And no one in Muskegon county government seems to have a clue what's happening to Detroit.
Pensions in play in Detroit bankruptcy: What's equitable? | Crain's Detroit Business:
"All pensioners may have been made equal to other unsecured creditors who hold contracts with Detroit, by a federal bankruptcy court judge — but that may not necessarily put them on equal footing.

Now that Judge Steven Rhodes has found the city's 21,000-plus retirees are no different than many other creditors who have rights under a contract with the city, attorneys expect the city will submit what federal law calls a "fair and equitable plan" to restructure its debt by late February.

But what is equitable, for example, to former city employees who have been retired for years, are physically unable to return to work, do not receive Social Security if they were police officers or firefighters, and received promises from a city that was once in much better shape? "

Why not $100/hr? -----The True Cost of a Higher Minimum Wage

The True Cost of a Higher Minimum Wage - Zachary Karabell - The Atlantic:
"What’s not clear, however, is whether mandating a higher wage will do anything to change that. Nearly 20 states have a higher minimum wage than the federal rate.
That means that the federal law has little effect in wide swaths of the country.
What’s more, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 5 percent of all workers are paid at or less than the current minimum wage. 
Thus, increasing it will make precious little difference in most people’s lives.
.....Under a higher minimum wage, a significant number of companies would likely trim payrolls in order to maintain profits."

“We hope to create taxes so low you essentially are able to bail yourselves out,” Paul said Thursday in a conference call outlining his plan."
