One Islamic State Fighter Allegedly Killed 150 Girls and Women for a Horrific Reason | TheBlaze.com:

"A single Islamic State fighter killed 150 girls and women because they refused to enter into “temporary marriages” with jihadists, according to the the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights.
Temporary marriages are a way for jihadists to effectively use women as sex slaves, while still abiding by Koranic law, in their eyes.
“Abu Anas Al-Libi killed more than 150 women and girls, some of whom were pregnant, after refusing to accept Jihad marriage,” the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights said in a statement."

The Extraordinary Life of Barack Obama's Imaginary Son

The Extraordinary Life of Barack Obama's Imaginary Son | Ricochet
In an upcoming People magazine interview, Barack and Michelle Obama sit down and discuss life as the First Oppressed Couple of the United States. Hoping to shed light and relate to recent events in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City, Barack reached into the upstairs White House bedroom of his mind and called upon his famous imaginary son to make an appearance:

The small irritations or indignities that we experience are nothing compared to what a previous generation experienced,” President Obama said. “It’s one thing for me to be mistaken for a waiter at a gala. It’s another thing for my son to be mistaken for a robber and to be handcuffed, or worse, if he happens to be walking down the street and is dressed the way teenagers dress.

Once again, Barack Obama’s imaginary son has found himself unfairly in trouble with the law. If you recall, his imaginary son was also shot by an imaginary neighborhood watch guard in the same style as Trayvon Martin. But Obama’s imaginary son is plucky and resilient and has lived a hard life in the hood so he keeps bouncing back.

In his life, Obama’s imaginary son has been shot at, concussed out of football, and racially profiled. Yet he keeps picking himself up and carrying on. Obama’s imaginary son should be an example to us all. No matter what kind of imaginary circumstances we find ourselves in, we can continue on with our imaginary lives.

"Despite what some in the Democrat Party may believe, elections mean things. The absolute pounding offered by Republicans in November’s midterms does not mean that every American supports a conservative agenda; it does, however, mean that the majority of Americans wish for the U.S. to pursue a path that is different from the vision of America favored by the radicalized Democrat Party."

Kim Jong-un to Host 87th Annual Oscars

Kim Jong-un to Host 87th Annual Oscars | Ricochet: "HOLLYWOOD (KCNA) — The Revolutionary Artists Committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is happy to announce that His Excellency Kim Jong-un will host the 87th annual Academy Awards.
This will be the first time a supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has led the ceremony, but it most certainly will not be the last.
“All peoples celebrate Dear Leader’s most humble decision to host the Oscars,” said Sony Pictures Chairman and CEO Michael Lynton. 
“We have witnessed his strength and honor from afar and welcome the divine opportunity to explode our love in his presence. 
To obey Doctor Leader’s magnanimous offer to host the Oscars is perfect joy, all of his resources and talent coming together on global stage.”
 Lynton helped redesign the iconic Oscar statuette “to better model the ideal human form” and offered a stern warning for enemies of the Juche Spirit.
“The vile capitalist running-dogs Seth Rogen and James Franco do shame the nation and Hollywood-industry with their thrice-cursed crimes,” he said via short-wave radio.
“Such villains of the Eternal Party will pay for their heinous betrayals and scandals which the era shall dutifully record.”"

China Reportedly Tests New Missile That Could Put ‘Entire U.S. at Risk’ | TheBlaze.com:

"Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, told TheBlaze the threat from China — especially the considerations for a massive, country-wide blackout that could see 90 percent of Americans perish — is significant, and cannot be ignored.

“China has the doctrine, the appreciation of our vulnerabilities and increasingly the means to conduct electromagnetic pulse attacks against the United States,” he said. “As it improves the range and lethality of its ballistic missile forces, that threat will only grow. We ignore it, and continue to leave ourselves vulnerable to such a nation-ending danger, at our extreme peril.”

Ibuprofen could be the secret to a longer life

Ibuprofen could be the secret to a longer life | Health | Life & Style | Daily Express
Regular doses of ibuprofen could allow people to live up to 12 years longer.
In tests, the drug appears to hold back the ageing process as well as helping fight disease.
Ibuprofen, which is used every day at home by people to treat inflammation, pain and fever, may be the key to developing a long sought after anti-ageing drug.
Dr Brian Kennedy, president and chief executive of the Buck Institute for Research on Ageing in California, said: “There is a lot to be excited about.
"The research shows that ibuprofen impacts a process not yet implicated in ageing, giving us a new way to study and understand the ageing process.
“Ibuprofen is a relatively safe drug, found in most people’s medicine cabinets.
"There is every reason to believe there are other existing treatments that can impact health span and we need to be studying them.”
Lead researcher Professor Michael Polymenis of Texas A&M University agreed.
He said: “It should be possible to find other drugs like ibuprofen with even better ability to extend lifespan, with the aim of adding healthy years of life in people.”

SHOCK CLAIM: US Power Grid Already Hacked By Iranians, Chinese, Russians (Video) | The Gateway Pundit:
"Tech expert David Kennedy explained that most corporations haven’t done what they needed to do to as an organization to protect themselves.
Kennedy told Greta when it comes to the US financial sector, they are trying really hard to keep the front door locked down to keep the hackers from breaking in.
However, the US is losing the battle in the energy sector.
“The energy sector, unfortunately, and our water treatment facilities and everything we do from a general usability from a United States perspective is very vulnerable.
They’re using old technology dating back to the 70’s.
We need a major rehaul of our entire electrical grid and protection around that.
We’re way worse off than anything near Sony. 
In fact the NSA director said as of last month that our entire energy grid had been owned or hacked by Iranians, by Russians, by China. 
Pretty much anybody has a foothold into our power grid right now.”"

5 takeaways from 'A community conversation: Giving voice to citizens-police' | MLive.com

4. Race remains an issue

Much of the discussion at Wednesday's forum revolved around the issue of race, which was attacked from several different angles.

Many citizens were curious as to how different departments deal with race issues and if officers are trained and prepared for different cultural situations.

Officials and citizens also cited a need for more diversity in local law enforcement itself.

Citizens also felt that eliminating Muskegon's perceived "racial divide" will lead to other problems being resolved.

"There are two sets of laws," one citizen said. "One for the white people and one for the black people."

Others took a more inclusive stance.

"It's not about the boundaries of our neighborhoods," one citizen said. "It's not about the color of our skin. We have a responsibility to our kids to make all of our communities safer. If we come together in here, we can make a difference out there."

The U.S. Government Wants to Keep You From Wearing "Comfyballs" Boxers

The U.S. Government Wants to Keep You From Wearing "Comfyballs" Boxers

The regrettably named Norwegian underwear brand Comfyballs was all set to make its big debut in the U.S. this year when it was shut down by the country's patent and trademark office. A trademark on Comfyballs, USPTO argued, was just too vulgar for Americans to accept.

The Independent reports on the tribulations of the company, which was already comforting balls across Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, and the U.K. when its trademark application was denied:

But American authorities banned it from operating under that name, finding that, "in the context of the applicant's goods... Comfyballs means only one thing - that a man's testicles, or 'balls,' will be comfortable in the applicant's undergarments.

"The mark does not create a double entendre or other idiomatic expression... When used in this way, the word, 'balls' has an offensive meaning."

A reminder about life in Communist Cuba under the Castro regime, from a former political prisoner of 22 years | TheBlaze.com:

"In light of the news regarding the release of Alan Gross and America’s re-opening of diplomatic relations with Cuba, we thought it useful to provide some insight into what life has been like under the Communist Castro regime in the decades since the island’s 1959 revolution.

The horrors of the Cuban system are perhaps best illustrated in Armando Valladares‘ “Against All Hope: A Memoir of Life in Castro’s Gulag,” which was published in 1986."

Marquette suspends professor who raised plight of muzzled pro-marriage student

Marquette suspends professor who raised plight of muzzled pro-marriage student:
Publicly tattling on colleagues who tell students they can’t share certain views in class is apparently “harassment” at Marquette University.

On his Marquette Warrior blog, Professor John McAdams shared the plight of a student whose philosophy instructor told him it would be “homophobic” to say he supports traditional marriage in class, as The College Fix previously reported.

Marquette is a Jesuit school, by the way.

Now the dean of the College of Arts & Sciences has written to McAdams, telling him:

The university is continuing to review your conduct and during this period–and until further notice–you are relieved of all teaching duties and all other faculty activities, including, but not limited to, advising, committee work, faculty meetings and any activity that would involve your interaction with Marquette students, faculty and staff. Should any academic appeals arise from Fall 2014 semester, however, you are expected to fulfill your obligations in that specific matter.

McAdams will still get paid but he’ll have to ask for permission to come back to campus. Dean Richard Holz attached Marquette’s harassment policy, “guiding values statement,” mission statement and “sections from” the faculty handbook, saying those materials would “inform our review of your conduct.”

McAdams says Marquette leaders must think blogging constitutes harassment, except that his post wasn’t “directed to a protected class”:

Marquette’s harassment policy is absurdly vague and includes “behavior is intimidating, hostile or demeaning or could or does result in mental, emotional or physical discomfort, embarrassment, ridicule or harm.” That’s right, even mental discomfort (which should be a normal part of having one’s opinions challenged in a university) is considered harassing.

Wealth gap in America widens to record level, report says

Wealth gap in America widens to record level, report says - LA Times:
"The wealth gap between middle- and upper-income households has widened to the highest level on record, says a new report.
Using the latest Federal Reserve data, the Pew Research Center said Wednesday that the median wealth for high-income families was $639,400 last year — up 7% from three years earlier on an inflation-adjusted basis.
For middle-income families, the median wealth — that is, assets minus debts — stood at $96,500 last year, unchanged from 2010.
U.S. income inequality is bad, but wealth inequality is a bigger problem
The result is that the typical wealth of the nation's upper-income households last year was nearly seven times that of middle-class ones.
By Pew's calculations, that is the biggest gap in the 30 years that the Fed has been collecting statistics from its Survey of Consumer Finances."

Finally! Some good news------No taxpayer-funded sex-change for prison inmate convicted of murder, court rules

"Spouse Cheryl Kosilek"?
No taxpayer-funded sex-change for prison inmate convicted of murder, court rules | AL.com
BOSTON -- A divided federal appeals court on Tuesday overturned a ruling ordering Massachusetts prison officials to provide taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery for an inmate convicted of murder.
Michelle Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, is serving a life sentence for killing spouse Cheryl Kosilek in 1990.
Kosilek has waged a protracted legal battle for the surgery she says is necessary to relieve the mental anguish caused by gender-identity disorder.
In 2012, U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf became the first judge in the country to order sex-reassignment surgery as a remedy for an inmate's gender-identity disorder.
Courts around the country have found that prisons must evaluate transgender inmates to determine their health care needs, but most have ordered hormone treatments and psychotherapy, not surgery.
Wolf's decision was upheld by a three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but prison officials appealed and won a rehearing before the full appeals court.
In a 3-2 ruling Tuesday, the full 1st Circuit found that Kosilek failed to demonstrate that prison officials violated the Eight Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment by not providing the surgery.

Swiss Central Bank Enters NIRP, Sends Deposit Rates Negative, Scrambles Against Safe-Haven Capital Flight

Everyone thought that any major monetary policy surprises and/or capital controls today would come from Putin during his annual press conference. Boy were they wrong: just after 2 am Eastern, none other than the Swiss National Bank joined the ranks of the ECB in scrambling to stem the wave of capital flight, not to mention the cost of money, when it announced it too would start charging customers for the privilege of holding cash in its banks, when it revealed a negative, -0.25% interest rate on sight deposits: a step which according to the SNB was critical in maintaining the 1.20 EURCHF floor.

China Prepares To Bailout Russia

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/17/2014 - 23:17

Earlier this evening China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange's (SAFE) Wang Yungui noted "the impact of the Russian Ruble depreciation was unclear yet, and, as Bloomberg reported, "SAFE is closely watching Ruble's depreciation and encouraging companies to hedge Ruble risks." His comments also echoed the ongoing FX reform agenda aimed at increasing Yuan flexibility which The South China Morning Post then hinted in a story entitled "Russia may seek China help to deal with crisis," which which noted that Russia could fall back on its 150 billion yuan ($24 billion) currency swap agreement with China if the ruble continues to plunge, that was signed in October. Furthermore, two bankers close to the PBOC reportedly said the swap-line was meant to reduce the role of the US dollar if China and Russia need to help each other overcome a liquidity squeeze. Is 'isolated' Russia about to be bailed out by the world's largest economy China?

IMF Now Ready To Slam The Door On The U.S. And The Dollar

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/17/2014 - 22:25

This is it, folks; this is the endgame right in front of our faces. The year of 2014 is the new 2007, with all the negative potential but 100 times more explosive going into 2015. Our nation has wallowed in slowly degrading financial conditions for years, hidden by fake economic statistics and manipulated stock prices. All of it has been a prelude to a much more frenetic and shocking event. We expect a hailstorm of geopolitical crises over the next year to provide cover for the shift away from the dollar. Ultimately, the death of the dollar will be hailed in the mainstream as a “good and necessary thing.” They will call it “karma.” They will call it “progress.” They will even call it “decentralization” and a success for the free market. But it will not feel like a positive development for the American public, who will suffer greatly as the dollar crumbles.

Mainstream media don't know Big Green has deeper pockets than Big Oil

Mainstream media don't know Big Green has deeper pockets than Big Oil | WashingtonExaminer.com 
The "Kill Keystone XL" crowd isn't little David up against a Big Oil Goliath. 
As usual, conventional wisdom isn't wisdom when the mainstream media ask all the wrong questions with commensurate answers.
Behemoth Big Green outstrips Big Oil in expendable revenue by orders of magnitude — if you know how to follow the money.
The mainstream media don't know how. 
Like most liberals, their staffs are afflicted with what 20th century futurist Herman Kahn called “Educated Incapacity” — the learned inability to understand or even perceive a problem, much less a solution.
They’ve been taught to be blind, unable to see Big Green as having more disposable money than Big Oil, so they don’t look into it.
They would never discover that the American Petroleum Institute’s IRS Form 990 for the most recent year showed $237.9 million in assets while the Natural Resources Defense Council reported $241.8 million.

Nor would they discover who started the anti-Keystone campaign in the first place. 
It was the $789 million Rockefeller Brothers Fund (established in 1940).
