Settled Science: The Biggest Risk Factor Leading to Premature Death Is…Government?

  Daniel J. Mitchell | Dec 29, 2013

Nope, the answer isn’t smoking. Or fatty food. Or 16 oz. sodas.
And it’s not alcohol, driving too fast, or standing between politicians and a TV camera.

  Why is murder “chic” for some people?

In the past 100 years or so, the biggest cause of premature death has been government. View Full Article

Obamacare Showdown: AT LAST SOME STATES SHOWING THEY HAVE GUTS

 Missouri Bill to Gut Obamacare, Ban Penalties, Ban Healthcare Exchange;

Mike Shedlock | Dec 29, 2013

    

          

If enough states act, we are on the way to a constitutional showdown over Obamacare. Washington Times reports Missouri bill would gut Obamacare

Next month, the Missouri Senate will consider a bill which would effectively cripple the implementation of the Affordable Care Act within the state.

Following the lead of South Carolina, where lawmakers are fast-tracking House Bill 3101 in 2014, and Georgia, where HB707 was recently introduced by Rep. Jason Spencer, Missouri State Senator John T. Lamping (R-24) pre-filed Senate Bill 546 (SB546) to update the Health Care Freedom Act passed by Missouri voters in 2010. It passed that year with more than 70% support.

SB546 would ban Missouri from taking any action that would “compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in any health care system.” That means the state would be banned by law from operating a health care exchange for the federal government.

White House doesn't dispute report finding no al Qaeda role in Benghazi attack

 

An interior view of the U.S. consulate, which was attacked and set on fire in Benghazi, Libya, Sept. 12, 2012.

By Kristen Welker and Becky Bratu, NBC News

A senior Obama administration official said the White House does not dispute a New York Times article published Saturday about the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which found no evidence al Qaeda was involved.
According to the in-depth report, the Times found no proof that al Qaeda or any international terrorist groups played any role in the assault, which killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
The six-part report goes on to say that an American-made video mocking Islam largely triggered the attack, which was not well-planned.

Sandwich-wielding police talk naked Oregon man off of ledge

By Becky Bratu, Staff Writer, NBC News

A crisis-intervention officer — armed with a sandwich — persuaded a naked, disturbed man to come down off the ledge of a parking structure he was threatening to jump off in Portland, Ore., Saturday.
Police said in a news release they responded to a call involving "a naked subject, possibly armed with a knife, acting as if he intended to jump off a parking structure" around 11:10 a.m. local time (2:30 p.m. ET).
The man "appeared to be experiencing a behavioral health crisis" -- sitting on the ledge, threatening to jump off and cutting himself, according to the release.
As an officer began speaking with the man, the troubled individual revealed he was hungry. 
A sandwich was then procured from the nearby Hotel deLuxe, and officers used it to "move the subject away from the ledge," police said.
That's when the man was taken into custody without incident, officials said. He is currently being evaluated at a hospital.
Police said criminal charges may be filed in connection to vandalism to vehicles in the parking structure and other potential crimes.

Well I certainly hope they let him eat the sandwich. It must have been pretty good.

Protesters hold signs as the motorcade of President Barack Obama returns to Obama's vacation home in Kailua, Hawaii Dec. 28, 2013.

 

The serenity of President Barack Obama's Hawaiian vacation was rattled a little on Saturday when demonstrators aired grievances against unmanned aircraft and other issues in a small protest zone near the first family's upscale rented house. 
Returning from an early morning gym visit at nearby Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Obama's motorcade passed a few dozen protesters holding signs with slogans including "Drones: Unethical and Illegal," "U.S. Bases Out" and "Close Guantanamo Now." Others expressed their opposition to genetically modified foods.

Colorado Legislators Criminalize Christmas Gifts in the Name of Gun-Control  

Michael Schaus | Dec 27, 2013 Coloradoans, apparently, like their guns.

“Dozens of criminals would be walking around with a gun right now if not for the new law ,”  said Rep. Rhonda Fields, a Colorado legislator with no apparent capacity to digest the meaning of the word “criminal”. Because, ya know, dozens of criminals tried to purchase a firearm from drug dealers, gun runners, and fellow gang members – only to find out that they were unable to pass the required background check. “Oh well,” they said to themselves when their fellow criminal reported the unfortunate denial from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. “I guess I’ll just go back to being an unarmed, and passive, member of society.”

Glenn Greenwald to MSNBC: I Defend Snowden Like You Defend Obama

Kevin Glass | Dec 26, 2013

    

              

 

In a confrontational interview with MSNBC anchor Kristen Welker, progressive journalist Glenn Greenwald said that he's a defender of Edward Snowden's actions in the same sense that MSNBC is a defender of President Obama. Greenwald said that he believes "every journalist has an agenda. We're on MSNBC now, where close to 24 hours a day the agenda of President Obama and the Democratic Party are promoted, defended, glorified, the agenda of the Republican Party is undermined. That doesn't mean the people who appear on MSNBC aren't journalists. They are." "I do defend [Edward Snowden]," Greenwald said, "just like people on MSNBC defend President Obama and Democratic Party leaders 24 hours a day."  Watch: http://bcove.me/jwo41z4q

Amazing....Double standards......Oh, this is "white on black" crime. The "knockouts" I read before were "black on white" and there wasn't enough evidence in those to deem them"hate crime"

'Knockout game' attack leads to hate crime charge        

 I'm not condoning this I just have to laugh at the double standards

 

   

                             

 

 

 

 

This booking photo released by the Harris County Sherrif's Office

HOUSTON — A white Houston-area man was arrested Thursday on federal hate crimes charges for allegedly shooting video of himself sucker-punching a 79-year-old black man in a "knockout game"-style attack.    

Conrad Alvin Barrett, 27, made a brief appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy, who scheduled a detention hearing for the Katy man on Friday.
According to prosecutors, the attack happened Nov. 24 in Katy, but it wasn't until 12 days later that authorities connected the attack to the cellphone video of it.

The attack video doesn't show Barrett's face, but investigators matched his voice to the voice in the video and the couple at the restaurant told investigators that Barrett was wearing the same shorts and shoes at the person who shot the video.
According to prosecutors, the video shows Barrett approach the victim and ask, "How's it going, man?" A "loud smack" is then heard, the victim falls to the ground, Barrett laughs and says, "Knockout." The assailant then flees in his vehicle.

 

 

The victim lost three teeth and needed surgery to repair his jaw, which had been broken in two places. He was hospitalized for more than four days, authorities said.

If convicted of the hate crime charge, Barrett could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison and fined up to $250,000.
