FOXNews gets dumped for Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze?

FOXNews gets dumped for Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze?:

"According to an article on hngn.com, “Fox News has never been banned from a television distributor. However, Dish blocked CNN and some Turner Broadcasting channels for one month and CBS for 12 hours due to contract negotiations.” Dish will continue to appeal to their paid subscribers to enjoy channels provided at the lowest price available, while FOX News runs a campaign for DISH customers to petition that the dispute be resolved.

In the meantime, TheBlaze gets to reap the benefits. Beck has been more than gracious on his Facebook page and his radio program in the opportunity that he feels God has given: “I have no idea how long TheBlaze will be on in place of Fox News. But for those of you looking for a channel that shares your values and principles, I hope you will give TheBlaze a chance.”

If you are looking for the real news...also known as the truth, you will like TheBlaze.

You can’t do that in North Korea

You can’t do that in North Korea
Here are some things that the average person can’t do in North Korea.

1. Beat Kim Jon il at bowling or golf (when he was alive). According to state propaganda, the first time he went bowling Kim Jon il bowled a perfect 300. The first time he went golfing he had 11 holes-in-one. According to the National Hole in one Registry, the chances of scoring 2 holes-in-one during a single round of golf is 67 million to one. One would assume 11 would be in the realm of billions if not trillions-to-one. This doesn’t factor in the average person  making a hole-in-one has 24 years of golfing experience. So, either North Korean propaganda is a lie (shocker!) or those 11 holes-in-one were from about 6 inches out.
2. Criticize the government.  There is no freedom of speech in North Korea and the worst prison camps in the country are reserved for political dissidents. According to Amnesty International, as many as 40 percent of prison camp inmates die from malnutrition. Since there are as many as 400,000 people in those camps, that’s a big number.
3. Own a vehicle or drive. In North Korea, only government and military officials can own motor vehicles. This makes North Korea even more restrictive than Saudi Arabia where women are forbidden to drive. Of course, in North Korea the average monthly salary is equivalent to $3 so that car payment would be quite out of reach.
4. Use electricity at night. I North Korea, homes that have electricity only receive it a few hours a day and the power is generally turned off completely at night. Of course, this doesn’t apply to the small group of elites that are the “more equal than others” in this communist nation.
5. Own private property. Almost all property in North Korea belongs to the state.
6. Practice your own faith. Religious freedom doesn’t exist in North Korea. Many of the people in North Korea’s prison camps are Christians. Christianity is outlawed and anyone found with a Bible is sent to prison along with 3 generations of their family.
7. Receive a fair trial. North Korea does not have a modern judicial system. There are probably a lot of innocent people the prison camp population of 400,000.
8. Use the Internet. At the moment the Internet is down in North Korea. Even when its up, many people don’t know it exists and its existence is intentionally kept from students. Because of this, any professional North Korean hacking group would have to either be outside of the country or an organization sanctioned and provided for by the government.
9. Use a cell phone. Cell phone use is restricted to foreign visitors on North Korea’s 3G network.
10. Grow your hair out. North Koreans are restricted to a government approved 28 haircut styles. Unmarried women and young men have to have short hair. Older men are allowed to grow their hair out as much as 2 3/4 inches.

Five times liberals tried to ruin Christmas

Five times liberals tried to ruin Christmas (Video) - Liberty Unyielding
Here are 5 times that libs have gone out of their way to ruin Christmas for everybody else:

• Senior Apartment Complex Bans Christmas Trees
• Army Advises Soldiers not to Say “Christmas”
• Obamacare Advocates Release Ad Featuring Half-Naked Men
• School Somehow Cuts Religious References in “Silent Night”
• Atheists Hammer School for Bringing Kids to See “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

With that last item in mind, we’d like to return the favor and ruin Christmas for liberals.

Here is a video clip of easily the most offensive portion of A Charlie Brown Christmas in liberal or atheist eyes – Linus, quoting Scripture in an attempt to quantify the true meaning of Christmas.

WHEN POLITICAL NARRATIVES MEET FACTS

WHEN POLITICAL NARRATIVES MEET FACTS: Campus sexual assault under fresh scrutiny after new survey shows lower incidence.

When President Obama announced in September his “It’s On Us” initiative to combat college sexual assault, he declared that “an estimated 1 in 5 women has been sexually assaulted in her college years.”

“One in 5,” Obama repeated, to drive home the point.

But now, in the wake of a new federal Department of Justice report showing the incidence of rape and sexual assault on campus at far lower levels and trending down over the last decade, that statistic is being called into question.

Well, that’s because it’s bogus.
Which doesn’t stop Sen. Claire McCaskill, (D-Mo): “Frankly, it is irritating that anybody would be distracted by which statistics are accurate.”

Old narrative: The statistical proof of our argument is overwhelming!

New narrative: Our argument is too important to be undermined by mere statistics!

Mark Levin: Obama, Holder and Sharpton ‘Waging War on Cops,’ ‘Have Blood on Their Hands’:

"Recently, Levin was unable to control his palpable outrage as he charged Obama, Eric Holder and Al Sharpton with “waging war on cops.” 

My blood has been boiling, I’ve been grinding my teeth, listening to all this, watching this, two dead police officers, murdered. President of the United States issues a statement, a written statement. The attorney general of the United States always wants to debate race (with this “nation of cowards”), nowhere to be found. Another coward, another phony. Yes, they do have blood on their hands. No, they didn’t kill these police officers. But they have created an environment with their political war "

The recent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, illustrates a shocking reality: evidently, no person of color is supposed to be accountable for their behavior. Michael Brown was a thug and a criminal and despite the evidence showing that Brown attacked a police officer, he is hailed as some sort of civil rights hero by those looking to riot and loot in his memory.

 

In another case of a bad guy dealing with the consequences of his behavior, Adric White was shot by a Good Samaritan as White was robbing a store in Mobile, Alabama- his second armed robbery in just two months.

New Study Adds to Skepticism Among Security Experts That North Korea Was Behind Sony Hack

New Study Adds to Skepticism Among Security Experts That North Korea Was Behind Sony Hack - NYTimes.com:

A number of private security researchers are increasingly voicing doubts that the hack of Sony‘s computer systems was the work of North Korea.

President Obama and the F.B.I. last week accused North Korea of targeting Sony and pledged a “proportional response” just hours before North Korea’s Internet went dark without explanation. But security researchers remain skeptical, with some even likening the government’s claims to those of the Bush administration in the build-up to the Iraq war.

Fueling their suspicions is the fact that the government based its findings, in large part, on evidence that it will not release, citing the “need to protect sensitive sources and methods.” The government has never publicly acknowledged doing so, but the National Security Agency has begun a major effort to penetrate North Korean computer networks.

Stop lying about the cops

Stop lying about the cops | New York Post:
"The “national conversation” about race and policing we’ve been having ever since Michael Brown was shot by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Mo., last summer has been based on lies.
The lie that Officer Wilson shot Brown while he had his hands up and was pleading “Don’t shoot.”
The lie that New York City policemen targeted Eric Garner for a violent arrest because he was black.
The lie, peddled especially by the progressive prince of New York City, Mayor de Blasio, that the police are racist.
These are the lies that fuel hatred for the police, because if the police routinely execute black men in cold blood and serve a thoroughly racist system, they deserve to be hated.
They should be the subject of nightly protests.
They should be showered with obloquy.
They should be harried by Attorney General Eric Holder.
They should be considered a stain on the national conscience to be extricated at all costs.
This is the line of reasoning that leads to protesters chanting: “What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want them? Now.”"

NOAAgate: how 'ocean acidification' could turn out to be the biggest con since Michael Mann's Hockey Stick - Breitbart:

"Ocean acidification is said to be caused when excess atmospheric carbon dioxide is absorbed by the sea, reducing its pH levels to make it more acidic.
But, as Watts Up With That reports new evidence unearthed by an inquisitive graduate student suggests that “ocean acidification” may be a scientific fraud to rank with the great “man-made-global warming” scare.
At the centre of the scandal is NOAA, the US federal scientific agency which measures and researches changes in the oceans and atmosphere, and which maintains one of the temperature datasets used to measure “global warming.”

Corporate Welfare for Hollywood Comes First

Corporate Welfare for Hollywood Comes First [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"With this year’s lame duck session drawing to a close, one striking feature stands out.
While lawmakers wrestled over how best to get funding to fix up and keep up Michigan’s roads, legislation to perpetuate the state’s flop-filled film subsidy program shot through the Senate and House like a hot knife through butter.
Make no mistake about it, the state’s film subsidy program is nothing more than a government-sponsored luxury; a giveaway paid for with other people’s money and — as always — those other people are the taxpayers. 
Over the five years of its existence the program has cost nearly half a billion dollars and there are fewer film jobs in Michigan now than before it started.
Politicians in Lansing, who love to talk about the importance of priorities, apparently felt supremely confident that the regular news media would miss the farcical joke.
It is no surprise that their confidence proved well-founded.
A bill to continue film subsidies zips through the Legislature ahead of a debate involving a potential fuel tax hike; and yet the irony of it doing so attracts little news media attention — not even a few sarcastic jabs.
No mystery here
If a script were written based on why the Legislature voted to keep the film subsidy program alive, it wouldn’t qualify as a mystery. 
It takes little imagination to understand the forces that were at work."

Muskegon Heights city manager named to Flint post | Crain's Detroit Business:
"Flint's state-appointed emergency manager has named Muskegon Heights city manager Natasha Henderson to the same job in Flint.
...The city of about 100,000 went under state emergency control in December 2011 because of persistent municipal budget deficits.
The birthplace of General Motors has suffered in recent decades as auto industry employment has shrunk because of stronger international competition and automation of vehicle production.
"The city should expect the best," Earley said at the reception. "Unquestionably, she is the right person at the right time — now and in the future."
Henderson, 37, starts work Feb. 23, The Flint Journal reported.
At the reception, she said she can see glimpses of what the city can become in the future, including a "beautiful" downtown.
"There are so many opportunities," she said. "I'm definitely up for the challenge. ... When I walked in City Hall here, I felt like I wanted to be here.""
