Joy Behar Declares ‘I’m Aroused’ by ‘Hot’ Bernie Sanders:

On Wednesday’s The View, co-host Joy Behar gushed over Bernie Sanders’ performance at last night’s CNN Democratic debate and she proclaimed that the Socialist “aroused” her. The liberal ABC host gushed that Sanders was so “menschy in that moment like a real guy” when he defended Hillary Clinton from scrutiny over her e-mail scandal and insisted that she “find[s] him to be eye candy, not ear candy, eye candy.”

Behar continued to swoon over Sanders as she eagerly said “I like an old Jewish guy who's a socialist. That's my type of guy. Everybody is talking about O'Malley and how hot he was, but to me Bernie is hot.”Not to be outdone, co-host Michelle Collins showed her affection for former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley and his “rock hard man things”: There are some pictures, ladies, everyone gird your loins. That O'Malley, let me tell you something, if I wasn’t voting with my head, I think we know who would be getting my vote. I am in love. Look he his abs. That’s no dad bod....Those are rock hard man things

A Georgia grand jury formally charged 15 members of a group supporting the Confederate flag on terror charges following a July confrontation with a black family who was celebrating a child’s birthday, according to an indictment released Monday.

Douglas County District Attorney Brian Fortner said members of the “Respect the Flag” group violated the state’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act and made terroristic threats when their caravan of vehicles bearing the rebel flag drove past a neighborhood party.

“We do want to say that we respect the rights of all citizens to exercise their First Amendment right, but we’re going to require them when they’re doing that to respect the right of all of the citizens to feel safe,” Fortner said at a news conference attended by FOX5.

Trump: I should have Secret Service protection | TheHill

Trump: I should have Secret Service protection | TheHill:

'vNEW YORK — Donald Trump on Tuesday said the Secret Service should be giving him protection — and he suggested partisan politics might be why the agency isn’t providing it.

In a 90-minute interview with The Hill, the Republican presidential front-runner pointed out that he has attracted large crowds just like Barack Obama did eight years ago as a White House candidate and that by this point in the 2008 cycle, the Illinois senator had Secret Service protection.
Trump doesn’t, and he’s not happy about it.
“I want to put them on notice because they should have a liability,” he said. “Personally, I think if Obama were doing as well as me he would’ve had Secret Service [earlier]. I have by far the biggest crowds.”

Obama was given Secret Service protection on May 3, 2007. At the time, law enforcement officials acknowledged it was unusually early in the presidential cycle to grant a presidential candidate protection, but also said it was not based on specific threats.

Man in electric wheelchair arrested for DUI - Fox 5 NY | WNYW:

ALM BAY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - In his arrest report, police say Ronny Hicks appeared highly intoxicated, because his speech was slurred speech and he was acting confused. Since he was also operating a motorized wheelchair, the 54-year-old man was arrested for driving under the influence.  Police say Hicks, from Palm Bay, was allegedly blocking the path on a pedestrian bridge inside a park near Margaret and Helen streets in Palm Bay. Police were called because of complaints.

During his first appearance before a judge, the judge approved the maximum $5000 bond, because it was allegedly Hicks third DUI in ten years. But DUI attorney Jason Hicks, no relation, says although the arrest is within the letter of the law, it would be tough to get a conviction for DUI in a wheelchair if it goes before a jury.

Silent Warfare

By Tammy Derouin

The United States is under attack.  Remember, “One if by land, two if by sea?”  What’s the signal when our own government has created conditions to undermine our stability and sovereignty as a nation?  What possible signal could be used to alert the people when so many warnings have failed?  The current administration does not wish to strengthen our country.  It’s doing everything it can to undermine the very foundation of the United States of America.  The proof is in the actions of a want-to-be dictator and his pen.

 

We need something to grab the attention of the sleeping sheep and the head burying ostriches who refuse to see reality.  They are content to follow a carrot dangling from a stick while wearing blinders.  Must there be a total collapse before they realize the donkey’s backside is leading them down a path of total destruction?

No administration is perfect.  Every administration has pitfalls and events that take place which rattle the nation.  Loyalty to the United States, the Constitution and the American people has never been as distant, non-existent, as it is today.  Has there ever been an administration which has caused so much intentional damage to our United States prior to this administration?  I think not.  

China is attacking our dollar.  Russia is flexing all sorts of military muscle.  Our borders are open to anyone.  The executive plunges us further into debt at every opportunity.  He has no desire to strengthen our military.  Did you ever think you would see Russia take the lead over the U.S.?  Now the administration wants to welcome 100,000 Syrian refugees?  The Gulf States in the Middle East won’t even accept these so called refugees and with good reason.  Silent warfare is taking place against the U.S.  Our leaders fan the flames and our enslaved press looks the other way...

My Way News - Playboy magazine to end publishing fully nude female photos

My Way News - Playboy magazine to end publishing fully nude female photos:

NEW YORK (AP) — Playboy will no longer publish photos of nude women as part of a redesign, the decades-old magazine announced Tuesday.

The magazine will still feature women in provocative poses, but they will no longer be fully nude, Playboy said in a statement.

The change, to take place in March, represents a major shift for the magazine, which broke new ground when Hugh Hefner created it and featured Marilyn Monroe on its debut cover in 1953. It marks the latest step away from depictions of full nudity, which were banned from the magazine's website in August 2014.

The magazine claims it website audience soared with that move, averaging a 400 percent increase in monthly unique visitors.

"The political and sexual climate of 1953 ... bears almost no resemblance to today," said Playboy Enterprises CEO Scott Flanders. "We are more free to express ourselves politically, sexually and culturally today, and that's in large part thanks to Hef's heroic mission to expand those freedoms."

The 'healthier' foods that are WORSE than full-fat versions | Daily Mail Online

The 'healthier' foods that are WORSE than full-fat versions | Daily Mail Online:

When we are doing battle with the bulge, choosing reduced fat, 'light' and diet foods seems like a smart move. 

In fact, many of these apparently virtuous options are little better than the 'naughty' foods they're designed to replace.

'Buzzwords such as "skinny" and "wholegrain" mean it's very easy for the consumer to be misled into thinking something is healthier than it is,' says dietitian Dr Sarah Schenker.

Indeed, three recent studies from the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University found that putting low-fat labels on snack foods encouraged people to eat up to 50 per cent more than those who were given the exact same food without these labels.
