Mexican Flag Allowed to Fly Higher than the U.S. Flag in This American Town

Mexican Flag Allowed to Fly Higher than the U.S. Flag in This American Town:
"That picture is of Segovia Auto Sales. The owner has two American flags and two Mexican flags flying outside the dealership. But, in America, the Mexican flag appears to be flying much higher than the U.S. flag, which according to federal code is not allowed."

What We’re Afraid to Say About Ebola - NYTimes.com
There are two possible future chapters to this story that should keep us
up at night.
The first possibility is that the Ebola virus spreads from West Africa to
megacities in other regions of the developing world.
This outbreak is very different from the 19 that have occurred in Africa over the past 40 years.
It is much easier to control Ebola infections in isolated villages.
But there has
been a 300 percent increase in Africa’s population over the last four
decades, much of it in large city slums.
What happens when an infected
person yet to become ill travels by plane to Lagos, Nairobi, Kinshasa or
Mogadishu — or even Karachi, Jakarta, Mexico City or Dhaka?
The second possibility is one that virologists are loath to discuss openly
but are definitely considering in private: that an Ebola virus could mutate to
become transmissible through the air.
You can now get Ebola only through direct contact with bodily fluids.
But viruses like Ebola are notoriously

"Now imagine what we could do with a halfway competent president.
If we had a halfway competent president, we could squash these cockroaches. But with President Momjeans at the helm, why should they fear America?
This video posted on therightscoop.com shows a hilarious attempt by ISIS nutjobs to shoot a cannon. What ensues is comical and something that one might expect to happen to Wile E. Coyote."

Watch: Obama Will Be Feeling The Effects Of The Beat Down Ted Cruz Just Gave Him For Days

Watch: Obama Will Be Feeling The Effects Of The Beat Down Ted Cruz Just Gave Him For Days: "Cruz points out that Obama, as Commander-in-Chief, can respond to an exigent threat against the United States; yet he proposed a multi-year military campaign while ignoring Congress.
“Part of the reason for seeking congressional approval, is it forces the president to go in front of Congress and the American people and articulate a clear military objective that furthers U.S. national security interests. The president has failed to do so and it appears he still doesn’t intend to do so.”

Open Letter to President Obama on 9/11: You, Sir, Have Failed as Commander in Chief | TheBlaze.com:
"On January 7, President Obama downplayed the threat of the Islamic State and referred to them as a “JV” team. As the months have passed the Islamic State grew stronger and took over a majority of what our U.S. military fought so hard for.
President Obama squandered it on a personal agenda to further himself and his party.
President Obama, I speak on behalf of all those who were gravely affected by the war in Iraq. You’re inability to perform as a commander in chief and your selfishness, has wasted 10 years of war and every killed serviceman and women has been for nothing."

Vermont bans brownies, turns kids on to kale, gluten-free paleo lemon bars

Vermont bans brownies, turns kids on to kale, gluten-free paleo lemon bars « Watchdog.org:
"It’s a best-seller at bake sales, a king of American confections, even a mandatory munchie of marijuana users.
But the iconic chocolate brownie, that perfect blend of cake and cookie, is banned in Vermont schools.
In its place are new hoped-for kid favorites like fruit shish kebab, kale and even gluten-free paleo lemon bars.
The switch stems from nutrition mandates required under the new Smart-Snacks-in-Schools program in effect for public schools.
“The new school lunch pattern has low-fat, leaner proteins, greater variety and larger portions of fruits and vegetables; the grains have to be 100 percent whole-grain rich,” Laurie Colgan, child nutrition program director at the Agency of Education, told Vermont Watchdog.
The new rules, which evolved out of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, spell death to brownies, cupcakes, cookies and other bake sale goodies used to raise money for extracurriculars at money-strapped schools.
Deborah Quackenbush, education division director at the Agency of Education, said Smart Snack standards apply to a la carte lunch items, vending machines and fundraising events between midnight and half an hour after school."

Say what?!!------Golden Hammer: Feds spend millions to study drunken monkeys, pilots and students

Golden Hammer: Feds spend millions to study drunken monkeys, pilots and students - Washington Times:
Right now the National Institutes of Health is spending $3.2 million to get monkeys to drink alcohol excessively to determine what effect it has long term on their body tissue.
NIH also has handed out $69,459 to the University of Missouri to study whether text messaging college students before they attend pre-football game tailgates will encourage them to drink less and “reduce harmful effects related to alcohol consumption.”

And the government’s premier research arm has doled out money in recent years for research on binge-drinking mice, inebriated gamblers and pilots seeking the sensation of flying drunk — on a simulator of course.

NIH defends such expenditures on the grounds that these research projects help those they fund improve their “potential to develop into a productive, independent research scientist.”
In an email to The Washington Times, the NIH pointed out that the goal of the Missouri text message project wasn’t just to save the lives of coeds but also to empower “promising predoctoral students to obtain individualized, mentored research training from outstanding faculty sponsors while conducting dissertation research in scientific health-related fields relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers.”

The entire country "fat shamed" chubs until the PC looneys took over. We didn't have fat people then. Now we do. -------'Fat shaming' might actually cause weight gain

'Fat shaming' might actually cause weight gain - WXYZ.com
"Fat shaming" is something millions of overweight people say they experience daily. It's a term that can mean many things, from being treated disrespectfully by doctors, to receiving poor service at shops or restaurants, to being called names by strangers.
Now, a study by University College London has found fat shaming overweight people is actually linked to weight gain.
Researchers studied nearly 3,000 obese adults who felt discriminated against and watched how their weight changed over four years.
The results showed those who reported experiencing fat shaming gained more weight than those who did not. 

The wages of liberals running an ALL DEMOCRAT "liberal paradise" -----Water Bills At Tax-Foreclosed Detroit Homes Total $21.5 Million 

Water Bills At Tax-Foreclosed Detroit Homes Total $21.5 Million –  Deadline Detroit:
Some 11,600 tax-foreclosed homes with sky-high water bills went up for sale Wednesday at Wayne County’s annual auction, Joel Kurth reports in the Detroit News.
The water bills at the homes total $21.5 million. That’s an average of $1,600 apiece, while 112 of them have bills of $10,000 or more and 484 have bills of at least $5,000, county data show.
And the records likely reflect a fraction of the truly big bills on abandoned homes. The Detroit News was only able to examine the records of homes eligible for the auction after three years of tax delinquencies. Officials at the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department denied a Freedom of Information Act request for data on all residential delinquencies, citing privacy.

Soooo.It's OK for a wife to "speak up"?-------Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Accused of Assaulting his Wife

Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Accused of Assaulting his Wife  –  Deadline Detroit
The scandal involving football player Ray Rice only raises the profile of this case involving chief deputy assistant Wayne County prosecutor Robert Stevens.
Amy Lange of Fox 2 reports that Stevens, 50, was arrested Sunday at his Macomb County home, after his wife called 911 claiming that he assaulted her. 
He was charged with domestic violence and released on personal bond.       
Fox 2 reports that his wife called police and said that her husband had pushed her to the ground, grabbed her arm, and started hitting her.
A spokeswoman with the Wayne County Prosecutor's office issued the following statement:
"On the evening of  Sunday, September 7th we were made aware of Robert Stevens arrest in another jurisdiction and he was immediately suspended without pay.  We expect that his case will be handled the same as any other case in the criminal justice system."

OMG! He said this?!!!!! That monster!! May he BURN IN HELL!!.......right?-------San Francisco 49ers, Pac-12 network suspend broadcaster Ted Robinson for comments on Rice incident

San Francisco 49ers, Pac-12 network suspend broadcaster Ted Robinson for comments on Rice incident - ESPN:
"The Pac-12 Networks also announced late Wednesday that it had suspended Robinson for the next two weeks and that he would undergo sensitivity training.
Robinson, 57, spoke while co-hosting on KNBR radio Monday and said Rice's now-wife, Janay, was partly to blame for not speaking up.
"That, to me, is the saddest part of it," he said.

...Robinson issued apologies through the 49ers and Pac-12 Networks.
"I want to unconditionally apologize for my comments the other day," Robinson said.
"As a professional communicator, I am responsible for my words.
My choice of words was careless and does not reflect my true feelings about domestic violence.
I understand that the cycle of abuse keeps people in unhealthy relationships.
No blame or responsibility should ever be placed on a victim."
In a statement, 49ers president Paraag Marathe said he told Robinson of the decision earlier Wednesday.
"The comments made by radio broadcaster Ted Robinson on Monday were offensive and in no way reflect the views of the San Francisco 49ers organization.
We have made the decision to suspend him for the next two games. I informed Ted of our decision earlier today, and we will continue to address this matter with him internally.
Our organization stands strongly against domestic violence and will not tolerate comments such as these," he said."

Yes, there IS a DIFFERENCE between the political parties-----Don't Give the Masters of the Universe Their Amnesty

Don't Give the Masters of the Universe Their Amnesty | National Review Online:
"Earlier this week I spoke about the president’s promise that he would issue an executive amnesty to 5 or 6 million people.
The planned amnesty would include work permits, photo IDs, and Social Security numbers for millions of people who illegally entered the U.S., illegally overstayed their visas, or defrauded U.S. immigration authorities.
The Senate Democratic conference has supported and enabled the president’s unlawful actions and blocked every effort to stop them. 
Not even one of our Democratic colleagues has backed the House legislation that would stop this planned executive amnesty or demanded that Senator Reid bring it up for a vote. 
Every Senate Democrat is therefore the president’s partner in his planned lawless acts.

Tonight I would like to talk about the influence of special interests on our nation’s immigration system.
How did we get to the point where elected officials, activist groups, the ACLU, and global CEOs are openly working to deny American workers the immigration protections to which they are legally entitled?
How did we get to the point where the Democratic party is prepared to nullify and wipe away the immigration laws of the United States of America?
Just yesterday Majority Leader Reid wrote in a tweet something that was shocking.
He said: “Since House Republicans have failed to act on immigration, I know the President will. When he does, I hope he goes Real Big.”

Let this sink in for a moment.
The majority leader of the Senate is bragging that he knows the president will circumvent Congress to issue executive amnesty to millions, and he is encouraging the president to ensure this amnesty includes as many people as possible.
And the White House has acknowledged that 5 to 6 million is the number they are looking at.

Has one Senate Democrat stepped forward to reject Mr. Reid’s statement?
Has one Senate Democrat stepped forward to say: I support the legislation passed by the House of Representatives that would secure the border and block this executive amnesty?
Have they ever said they support that?
Have they ever said: I will do everything in my power to see that the House legislation gets a vote in the Senate so the American people can know what is going on?
No.
All we hear is silence."

Networks Ignore SEIU Backing for Fast Food Strikes

Networks Ignore SEIU Backing for Fast Food Strikes | Media Research Center
"Fast food protests are all about the regular people, so long as you ignore the massive donors and organizers.
After hundreds of fast food workers in cities across the country abandoned their jobs Sept. 4, to demand raises of more than 100 percent and the right to unionize, all three broadcast networks dutifully reported on the protests, but failed to point out the union that had organized the protests.
NBC “Nightly News” and CBS “Evening News” both aired briefs about the protests that night, showing footage from some of the protests. But neither those reports, nor the morning news reports, mentioned the involvement of the liberal activists at the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). And out of those reports only CBS’ “Evening News” brought up the arrests of protesters in some cities during the protests.
....Union Backing of Fast Food Protests Ignored, Again
According to The New York Times, SEIU spent more than $10 million “underwriting the fast-food movement.” Its stated goal was to “change the nature of work,” but the broadcasts networks didn’t point out that connection in its reports about the protests on Sept. 4.
SEIU is a huge union that represents more than 1.5 million workers. It donates millions of dollars to liberal causes and is a member of the even larger union: AFL-CIO. According to Open Secrets, the SEIU spent $48,103,305 on political spending to Democrats in the 2012 campaign, more than 3,800 times as much as they gave to Republicans ($12,493). The union is also known for its bullying and thuggery.

Just 63% Know Which Parties Control the House and Senate

Just 63% Know Which Parties Control the House and Senate - Rasmussen Reports™:
"Over one-third of Likely U.S. Voters remain unaware which political party controls the House of Representatives and which has a majority in the Senate - less than two months before an election that may put one party in charge of both.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 63% are aware that Republicans have majority control of the House.
.....This is even less awareness than voters expressed in March of last year.
Remember, too, that these are respondents who are the likeliest to vote this November and so presumably are more politically aware than most other Americans.
Women and those under 40 are less aware of who’s in charge of both congressional chambers than men and older voters are. 
Republicans are more aware than Democrats and unaffiliated voters"
