People Who Defied Clintons Reveal How They Were Punished -- Dead Pets, Slashed Tires, and WORSE:
"We all know that Bill and Hillary Clinton will sink to almost any level to intimidate the women who accuse the former president of sexual misconduct. However, we didn’t know how low that was — until recently.
In a September interview with “Breitbart News Sunday” on SiriusXM, author Roger Stone recounted what would happen to women who accused Bill of rape or other forms of sexual impropriety.
“Pets killed. Tires slashed. Windshields smashed in and bullets left in the front seat of cars. Late-night phone calls: ‘We know where your children go to school,’ all of these threats were part of the Clintons’ intimidation tactics,” Stone told interviewer Matt Boyle."

It's ALL about money and (democrat) votes-----Amarillo, TX being destroyed by refugee overload
Amarillo, TX being destroyed by refugee overload « Refugee Resettlement Watch
“Small ghettos” of competing ethnic groups have developed!
We have been writing about Amarillo, Texas (a ‘pocket of resistance’) for a couple of years (see our complete archive by clicking here).
Like so many meatpacking towns in America, federal refugee resettlement contractors got a foot hold there years ago (mostly working as ‘head hunters’ for the meatpacking industry) and have continued to pour third-worlders into Amarillo despite pleas by elected officials to STOP!
(See our post just yesterday, here, about BIG MEAT).
Under federal refugee programs, the North Texas town has become home to more than 1,000 Mideast migrants – giving Amarillo the highest refugee ratio in the country.
“Our education system is overloaded with kids who can’t speak English. We have something like 22 languages spoken in our schools,” said William Sumerford, a local taxpayer activist.
City Commissioner Randy Burkett is considering a plan to halt further refugee settlements. Burkett could not be reached, but Mayor Paul Harpole isn’t optimistic about the city’s authority to push back.
“We’ve been a giving community, and it’s a huge disservice to bring in refugees in numbers that we’re not able to handle.
We create small ghettos,” Harpole told Watchdog.org..."

A recession worse than 2008 is coming
A recession worse than 2008 is coming—commentary
The S&P 500 has begun 2016 with its worst performance ever.
This has prompted Wall Street apologists to come out in full force and try to explain why the chaos in global currencies and equities will not be a repeat of 2008.
Nor do they want investors to believe this environment is commensurate with the dot-com bubble bursting.
They claim the current turmoil in China is not even comparable to the 1997 Asian debt crisis.
Indeed, the unscrupulous individuals that dominate financial institutions and governments seldom predict a down-tick on Wall Street, so don't expect them to warn of the impending global recession and market mayhem.
But a recession has occurred in the U.S. about every five years, on average, since the end of WWII; and it has been seven years since the last one — we are overdue.
Most importantly, the average market drop during the peak to trough of the last 6 recessions has been 37 percent.
That would take the S&P 500 down to 1,300; if this next recession were to be just of the average variety.
But this one will be worse.
A major contributor for this imminent recession is the fallout from a faltering Chinese economy.
The megalomaniac communist government has increased debt 28 times since the year 2000.
Taking that total north of 300 percent of GDP in a very short period of time for the primary purpose of building a massive unproductive fixed asset bubble that adds little to GDP.
Now that this debt bubble is unwinding, growth in China is going offline.
The renminbi's falling value, cascading Shanghai equity prices (down 40 percent since June 2014) and plummeting rail freight volumes (down 10.5 percent year over year), all clearly illustrate that China is not growing at the promulgated 7 percent, but rather isn't growing at all.
The problem is that China accounted for 34 percent of global growth, and the nation's multiplier effect on emerging markets takes that number to over 50 percent..."

Lunch video-----Lubbock Cowboys Give Hilarious Interview in Wrangling Incident
Lubbock Cowboys Give Hilarious Interview in Wrangling Incident:
This on-air interview is almost too good to be true.
A few years ago, a couple cows got loose in Lubbock, Texas.
They were running all around the highway and into the downtown area, causing traffic problems and pandemonium.
One cow even stuck its head straight through a glass window into a law office.
Enter: the five-time national championship-winning Texas Tech Ranch Horse team.
As Sherrod Greeson explains, “Well, I was in class — a very important class, mind you, at that — yes. Oh, I’m sorry. In a very important class, and I get this phone call that says, ‘There’s two cows out on the highway,’ so I jump in the Toyota and run down there.”
...“So how exciting was this for you?” asks the reporter. “On a scale of 1 to 10? 11,” says Greeson. “And how long have you been doing this?” she adds. “Well, I woke up today, so probably about 7 hours,” says Greeson. The reporter cracks up, adding, “I want to be all of your friends.”
Watch the whole hilarious interview above for more classic moments as the team recounts its adventures in roping cows in the middle of downtown Lubbock..."

Guilty for Obeying the Feds
Guilty for Obeying the Feds - WSJ:
"Can a drug company be held liable for following the directions of federal regulators on warning labels?
Johnson & Johnson did exactly that, only to be slapped with a $63 million jury verdict in Massachusetts for inadequate warnings.
The Supreme Court is being asked to hear J&J’s appeal in a case with major implications for uniform national business regulation.
In 2003 Richard Reckis treated his seven-year-old daughter Samantha with over-the-counter Children’s Motrin for a fever.
Samantha developed a rare and advanced case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome called toxic epidermal necrolysis which caused skin blistering, as well as lung, liver and vision damage.
Her parents sued Johnson & Johnson in state court for failing to alert buyers to the potential side effects, and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the jury verdict.
The legal problem is that the federal Food and Drug Administration had rejected the specific labeling enhancement that lawyers for the Reckis family say should have been applied.
In 2005 what’s known as a Citizen Petition to the FDA suggested that Motrin should include language on “serious skin reactions” and “potentially life-threatening diseases” and specify the names of some of the conditions.
The FDA agreed on the need for improved warnings about skin reactions, but it said it would not be helpful to include a mention of “life-threatening” conditions or the names of the conditions, which most people were unfamiliar with.
Instead, the agency said, “a description of symptoms” was more appropriate for the over-the-counter medication.
J&J would have been defying federal regulatory guidelines if it had included the warning that the Reckis lawsuit claims should have been on the bottle..."

Same guy in charge of Flint water now in charge of Detroit kids?!!!----- DPS emergency manager needs to step aside
Jacques: DPS emergency manager needs to step aside:
"Darnell Earley has to go.
The emergency manager of Detroit Public Schools is now irrevocably tainted by his time in that same role for the city of Flint.
Whether he deserves blame is still in question, but Earley was the state-appointed manager who oversaw Flint’s transition from the Detroit water system to Flint River water.
The switch in the spring of 2014 has led to disastrous consequences, including children now suffering from lead poisoning from the drinking water.
Gov. Rick Snyder’s reputation has suffered for not acting quickly enough to ameliorate the situation in Flint and to demand accountability after.
The governor has a major perception problem having Earley at the helm of the financially failing DPS.
And reports this week of school buildings that are unsafe and unclean for children only make it more obvious that this emergency manager is no longer a good fit.
You can’t have the same man associated with the poisoning of Flint’s children now responsible for the safety of nearly 50,000 Detroit kids.
...Snyder envisions splitting DPS into two entities to separate more than $500 million in debt from a new district that could direct its funds to educating students rather than covering past borrowing.
...Earley has also defended his record in Flint.
In a guest column for this paper in October, he wrote: “Contrary to reports in the media and rhetoric being espoused by individuals, the decision was made at the local level, by local civic leaders.” Earley says the decision to move to Flint River water was approved by the mayor and City Council months before he was appointed emergency manager in the fall of 2013.
That may be accurate. But Earley was in charge when the actual implementation took place.
And the buck stops with him and Snyder..."

Christian Farm Owners Fought Back Against $13,000 Fine for Refusing to Host a Gay Wedding — but Here’s What Just Happened in Court | TheBlaze.com:
"Attorneys with the organization had argued that the First Amendment protects the Christian couple, comparing forcing the family to host the wedding on the farm property to forcing someone to salute the American flag inside of a school, but that argument clearly didn’t resonate.
“We had hoped that the court would recognize that the government has clearly gone too far,” James Trainor, an attorney working with the Alliance Defending Freedom, said of the case. “The Constitution prohibits the government from forcing anyone to help communicate messages that conflict with their core beliefs about marriage. The Giffords welcome all people to the farm, but not all messages or events.”

This is how toxic Flint’s water really is - The Washington Post:
"...The professor who conducted the sampling, Dr. Marc Edwards, was in "disbelief."
"We had never seen such sustained high levels of lead in 25 years of work," he said.
According to Edwards, the team retested the water with extra quality controls and assurance checks, and obtained the exact same results.
...It appears that the city of Flint and state of Michigan have finally started to take the water problem seriously.
Again, they reconnected the city to Detroit's supply back in October, but the water remains unsafe to drink.
In recent days the National Guard was activated to help distribute drinking water to the city's residents.
And in yet another unsettling wrinkle in Flint's saga, 87 cases of Legionnaire's Disease, 10 fatal, have been diagnosed in the city since June.
It's not yet clear whether that outbreak is linked to the water."

- The PA wants the following response from the international community: "Oh my God, we must do something to salvage the peace process. We need to put even more pressure on these Israelis before matters get out of hand."
- Abbas wants the world's eyes on Israel -- and Israel alone. That way, the fierce behind-the-scenes battle for succession that has been raging among the top brass of the Palestinian leadership in the West Bank will stay far from the limelight.
- The PA seeks a solution imposed upon Israel by the international community. Why negotiate when Western powers are prepared to do everything to see Israel brought to its knees?

The Real Reason College Tuition Costs So Much - The New York Times:
"BOULDER, Colo. — ONCE upon a time in America, baby boomers paid for college with the money they made from their summer jobs.
Then, over the course of the next few decades, public funding for higher education was slashed. These radical cuts forced universities to raise tuition year after year, which in turn forced the millennial generation to take on crushing educational debt loads, and everyone lived unhappily ever after.
This is the story college administrators like to tell when they’re asked to explain why, over the past 35 years, college tuition at public universities has nearly quadrupled, to $9,139 in 2014 dollars.
It is a fairy tale in the worst sense, in that it is not merely false, but rather almost the inverse of the truth...
...Even more strikingly, an analysis by a professor at California Polytechnic University, Pomona, found that, while the total number of full-time faculty members in the C.S.U. system grew from 11,614 to 12,019 between 1975 and 2008, the total number of administrators grew from 3,800 to 12,183 — a 221 percent increase."

Big question. Why did Snyder do this?-----How Michigan literally poisoned an entire city to save a few bucks
How Michigan literally poisoned an entire city to save a few bucks
Do you know what's bad?
Brain damage.
Do you know what's bad?
Brain damage.
Flint, Michigan, is finding this out after it accidentally gave its entire population at least a little bit of lead poisoning when it switched up their water supply.
In an attempt to save money for a cash-strapped city, Flint started drinking water from the Flint River — but ended up contaminating children with a poisonous heavy metal.
Governor Rick Snyder has declared a state of emergency, and the federal government is investigating.

Governor Rick Snyder has declared a state of emergency, and the federal government is investigating.
Why on Earth did they do this?
Austerity.
Aside from the obvious humanitarian disaster, this is a stark demonstration of austerity's false economy.
Trying to be cheap on Flint's water supply will end up costing the state of Michigan (and probably the country as a whole) a ton more money than it would have to fix it properly in the first place.

...But emergency managers, particularly the ones appointed by Governor Snyder (a Republican) have been far more focused on cuts for their own sake, particularly crushing unionized public sector workers.
The idea to temporarily use Flint River water while another pipeline was being constructed was one of those cost-saving measures.
The idea to temporarily use Flint River water while another pipeline was being constructed was one of those cost-saving measures.
It was immediately obvious that the water was filthy, and residents loudly protested that it was cloudy, smelled bad, and tasted worse.
General Motors stopped using the water because it was literally corroding their machinery.
But Snyder and his handpicked head environmental official Dan Wyant studiously ignored the problem — despite internal warnings of lead poisoning as early as July of last year — until an outside scientific study demonstrated extreme levels of lead in Flint children.
In late December — over a year after the water switch — Snyder finally apologized and Wyant quietly resigned.

...Now Snyder has already been forced to pony up over $10 million to switch the Flint water system back to the way it was before (hooked up to Detroit, basically), and the city is asking for some $50 million more to replace lead pipes.
But that's very likely only the beginning. Flint's population is roughly 100,000, and several families have already sued state and local officials over the lead issue.
It's unclear so far how badly the city's children have been poisoned, but it's a pretty safe bet the state will end up spending tens or perhaps even hundreds of millions on settlements.

And that's where a moral atrocity becomes an economic self-kneecapping.
Aside from the cost of settlements, children are the major portion of the future's economic capacity, which depends critically on their ability to function normally.
Destroying their brains with heavy metals will rather impede their ability to get the jobs and pay the taxes that will get Flint on a sound fiscal footing.

Ex-CIA boss: ISIS soars on Obama’s watch
Ex-CIA boss: ISIS soars on Obama’s watch:
"A former deputy and acting CIA director told lawmakers on Tuesday that Islamic State group’s recruitment has exploded under President Obama’s watch.
Michael Morell told the House Armed Services Committee that ISIS” has gained affiliates faster than al-Qaida ever did.” He said 20 countries now have terror affiliates that pledged allegiance to ISIS since last year, up from almost “nothing” last year."

Two "Mohameds" shoot up a Calgary bar, and NO ONE in the Media Party says the word "terrorism"
Two "Mohameds" shoot up a Calgary bar, and NO ONE in the Media Party says the word "terrorism" - The Rebel:
Late Saturday night in Calgary, Canada, two Muslim men, Mohamed Salad and Mohamed Elmi, drove up to a bar.
One of the Mohameds walked up to the door and shot in.
A 38-year old man inside the bar was hit by the bullet and was rushed to the hospital.
Bouncers and police subdued the shooter.
Then another thug got out of the car, and tries to pull his friend away from the bouncers until police tackle him too.
So two Mohameds are charged with attempted murder and firearms offences.
How did this story get covered in the mainstream media?
I'll show you the front page of the newspaper of record in Calgary today.
Seriously.
If you look on the left hand side of the page, you can see a microscopic mention: “Bouncers tackle gunman at Beltline night club."
That’s it.
If you go to the story inside the newspaper, you have to read all the way down to the 25th paragraph before you get to the name of the accused — the two Mohameds.
I examined literally 15 news stories — CBC, CTV, Canadian Press, etc., on this, and not one of them mentioned the word terrorism, even though the police said it was a possibility.
To me, that’s the really scary news out of Calgary.
Not that two Mohameds shot up a bar.
But that every journalist in the country did their level best to avoid talking about terrorism.

Is this still "America"?-----Christian Farm Owners Fought Back Against $13,000 Fine for Refusing to Host a Gay Wedding
Christian Farm Owners Fought Back Against $13,000 Fine for Refusing to Host a Gay Wedding — but Here’s What Just Happened in Court | TheBlaze.com:
"A court has ruled against a husband and wife who own a farm in central New York, upholding a $13,000 fine that was imposed over the couple’s refusal to host a same-sex wedding on their property back in 2012.
The New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department, upheld a punishment imposed by New York’s Division of Human Rights that included $10,000 in fines and $3,000 in damages to be paid by Cynthia and Robert Gifford, owners of Liberty Ridge Farm, a farm and special events venue in Schaghticoke, New York.
The couple was also reportedly told to implement mandatory courses that the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal firm, described in a press release as “re-education training classes designed to contradict the couple’s religious beliefs about marriage...”"

The Unforgettable Villainy of Alan Rickman in “Die Hard”
The Unforgettable Villainy of Alan Rickman in “Die Hard” - The New Yorker:
"Alan Rickman, who died on Thursday, at the age of sixty-nine, was a classically trained actor who did time in the Royal Shakespeare Company and made his name in modern theatrical productions, notably “Les Liaisons Dangereuses,” which he starred in first in London, in 1985, and then on Broadway, in 1987.
Despite being passed over for John Malkovich when that play was turned into the movie “Dangerous Liaisons,” Rickman would go on to play dozens of memorable characters onscreen, including Professor Severus Snape in all eight Harry Potter movies, as well as to write and perform for the stage.
But, for philistines like me (and, it seems, for many others), Rickman was—and now always will be—Hans Gruber, the toothy, perfectly manicured, sphinxlike villain from the 1988 action movie “Die Hard.”..."
