Who Is the Mysterious ‘Santa’ Hillary Clinton Visited in the Summer of 2009? | TheBlaze.com:

 "The State Department released another batch of Hillary Clinton emails Tuesday night, and one email is raising some eyebrows.

In the message, Clinton advises a longtime aide that she would be visiting “Santa” — in July.

“I’m seeing Santa at 8:30 so won’t take off until closer to 9:30. Is that ok?” Clinton asked Huma Abedin in the 2009 email."

Black rage?-----Macon Wal-Mart mob wanted to see how much damage it could do

Report: Macon Wal-Mart mob wanted to see how much damage it could do | Crime | Macon.com:
"Surveillance video of a wee-hours ruckus at a Macon Wal-Mart on Sunday shows a teenager race inside flashing gang signs ahead of a mob of four dozen or so people who burst in and smashed merchandise.
The commotion, which caused an estimated $2,000 in damage, appears to have been planned.
Some in the crowd also snatched a man, apparently a shopper at the Zebulon Road store, from a motorized shopping cart and dragged him to the floor, Bibb County sheriff’s officials said Monday.
The vandals, said to number between 40 and 50, sprinted down the store’s main aisle about 1:50 a.m. Sunday, “destroying merchandise displays and items,” a sheriff’s deputy’s report of the incident noted.
Floors in parts of the store were “coated with broken merchandise,” the report added.
“The length of the store from front to rear was lined with items which had been shattered, destroyed, turned over and thrown about.”
When sheriff’s deputies got there, the crowd “began to flee into many different vehicles and leave the scene,” the report said..."

Follow the money----- Media to Make 'Gay Reparations' an Issue in 2016 GOP Presidential Primary Race

CLAIM: Media to Make 'Gay Reparations' an Issue in 2016 GOP Presidential Primary Race - The Gateway Pundit:
“Wow.”
That was the reaction of Rick Wilson, national Republican message and media strategist, to a reporter telling him Republican presidential candidates will be made to answer on whether or not they support ‘gay reparations’.
Wilson posted on Twitter Monday afternoon about an interview he had with someone he would only describe as a ‘national reporter’ who shocked Wilson by bringing up the subject of ‘gay reparations’ as an issue GOP presidential candidates will pressed on by reporters.
Wilson said the context was questions about gay issues in light of Friday’s Supreme Court decree mandating all states must allow same sex marriages.
Curiously also on Monday afternoon Ace of Spades reported that he too was told ‘gay reparations’ was going to be an issue in 2016:
“BTW, a guy I trust says that he was speaking to an informed source on the Gay Marriage side of things, and he says that “gay reparations” are going to be a live issue in 2016, and something that all candidates will have to take a position on...”

Racist Signs Posted at Black Church Had Congregants on Edge — Many Were Surely Stunned to See Suspect’s Face

Racist Signs Posted at Black Church Had Congregants on Edge — Many Were Surely Stunned to See Suspect’s Face | Video | TheBlaze.com:
"When racist signs were recently found posted outside of the predominantly black New Covenant church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Pastor Roland Joyner said he “locked” the doors while congregants were inside worshiping out of fear."

This really isn't all that surprising.  
Those on the Left are trying very hard to create a spark so they can fan the flame.  
They are looking for anything which will cause an all out racial conflict. 
They will lie and deceive anyone who is eager to blindly follow without facts.  
This is how the Left operates.  
If they don't get their desired results, they create a problem.  
Remember, they already have the solution.  
We cannot turn to violence or turn on each other.  
If we do, Marshall Law will be enacted and freedom will become a thing of the past.  
We are Americans.  
I think most of us look at character, not color.  
We cannot allow ourselves to be manipulated by the puppet masters.  
When the show is over, the puppets are sealed in darkness.   

Obamacare Co-Ops Hid Millions In Exec Pay, Consulting Fees

Obamacare Co-Ops Hid Millions In Exec Pay, Consulting Fees | The Daily Caller
On Tuesday, The DCNF reported that 18 of the 23 operating non-profit co-ops paid their top executives salaries ranging from $263,000 to $587,000, according to 2013 IRS tax filings. Those figures appear to violate federal laws and regulations barring “excessive compensation” for tax-funded enterprises.
...Aaron Albright, a CMS spokesman, told TheDCNF that “the use of federal CO-OP loan funds is prohibited from, among other restrictions, providing excessive executive compensation.”
Many of the co-op executives are better paid than the President of the United States, Members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, U.S. cabinet secretaries and all 50 state governors.
...At the Louisiana Health Cooperative, CEO George Greg Cromer, was reported to have been paid $105,000.
Buried in the footnotes, however was the fact that the co-op paid $1.3 million to Terry Shilling, to serve as the Louisiana co-op’s “interim CEO” in 2013.
...But entire Compass co-op management team comes from a for-profit partnership called Eastwick Strategy Group, which paid Oestreich $420,000, Tkachyk $296,000 and LeBarron $282,000.
Separately, the co-op also paid Eastwick an additional “management fee” of $2 million and another $5.4 million for “consulting.”

Officials: Students' Gender Identity Determines Restroom Use

Officials: Students' Gender Identity Determines Restroom Use - ABC News:
"The U.S. Justice Department says in a court filing that transgender students must be allowed to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity.
The department says in a statement of interest filed Monday that failure to do so amounts to sex discrimination under Title IX of the U.S. Education Amendments of 1972.
The document is in response to a federal lawsuit filed against the Gloucester County School Board by a 16-year-old transgender student who wants to be allowed to use the boys' restroom.
The lawsuit says Gavin Grimm used the communal restrooms without incident until the board adopted a policy in December requiring transgender students to use a private facility.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and an order allowing Grimm to use the boys' restrooms"

Something Is Happening to European Cars That Beck Says Should Be a ‘Significant Wakeup Call’ | Video | TheBlaze.com

Something Is Happening to European Cars That Beck Says Should Be a ‘Significant Wakeup Call’ | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Glenn Beck says it should be a “significant wakeup call” that cars in Europe may no longer have FM and AM radio within several years.

“I recently got a disturbing news report from Norway that in 2017 they’re turning off the FM radio band,” Beck said in an interview with D CEO released Tuesday. “And Europe has already started—or will be starting—to no longer produce cars with AM radio. That should be a significant wakeup call to the American industry of radio, that radio as we know it is on the verge of profound change.”

The Decadence of the Liberal Mind in One Sentence

THE DECADENCE OF THE LIBERAL MIND IN ONE SENTENCE

As the Greek economy continues its predictable slow motion collapse, one of the early WSJ account of the inevitable bank closures and capital controls imposed yesterday has one of the funniest sentences I’ve read in a long time, but which is also fully revealing of the decadence of the liberal mind:

“How can something like this happen without prior warning?” asked Angeliki Psarianou, a 67-year-old retired public servant, who stood in the drizzle after arriving too late at one empty ATM in the Greek capital.

No warning? 
Check.  
Retired public servant?  
Check.  
But, but . . . how can we run out of other people’s money? 
We still have pension checks left. 
Hello, Detroit? 
I think we’ve found your next mayor.
