Why Liberals Identify with Criminals American Thinker, by Tom Trinko    Original Article Posted By: magnante- 10/31/2015 9:42:05 AM     Post Reply Liberals hate cops, honest citizens with guns, and hard sentencing laws because liberals identify with criminals. When visiting a Federal prison Obama summarized the view of liberals when he said: “These are young people who made mistakes that aren’t that different than the mistakes I made and the mistakes that a lot of you guys made." While the people in the prison he was talking about were really drug dealers and violent felons, Obama, was repeating the liberal lie that the prisons are full of folks who just smoked a joint and got caught. Liberals are five times more likely to use marijuana and Trump now leads Carson by five after trailing by seven in same national poll last month HotAir, by Allahpundit    Original Article Posted By: Emerson- 10/31/2015 9:11:09 AM     Post Reply A bit of sweet polling candy for Trump fans at the end of a long week. Until the past few days, when a NYT/CBS survey put Carson up by four, there was only one national poll taken in the last four months that showed Trump trailing. That was the IBD/TIPP poll conducted in late September and early October, which gave Carson a shocking 24/17 lead. It may have been an outlier but it was a newsy outlier. A month later, IBD/TIPP has Trump back in the lead. (Snip)Amazing how little movement there is in those numbers except for Trump’s. If Obama: Too many folks in our prisons Investor´s Business Daily, by Andrew Malcolm    Original Article Posted By: SurferLad- 10/31/2015 8:51:34 AM     Post Reply President Obama´s weekly remarks: Hi, everybody. Today, there are 2.2 million people behind bars in America and millions more on parole or probation. Every year, we spend $80 billion in taxpayer dollars to keep people incarcerated. Many are non-violent offenders serving unnecessarily long sentences. I believe we can disrupt the pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails. I believe we can address the disparities in the application of criminal justice, from arrest rates to sentencing to incarceration. And I believe we can help those who have served their time and earned a second chance get the support they need

Toddler dressed up as the Pope wins the best costume prize at Obama´s White House Halloween party... but where were the President and First Lady´s costumes? Daily Mail [UK], by Ollie Gillman    Original Article Posted By: MissMolly- 10/31/2015 8:49:52 AM     Post Reply Hundreds of children dressed up in spooky costumes took over the White House´s South Lawn to celebrate Halloween with President Obama and the First Lady. The President was particularly impressed by a young boy dressed up as the Pope, declaring ´top prize´ as the toddler was pushed towards him in a Popemobile. The boy was among hundreds of local schoolchildren and children from military families who came trick or treating at the White House on Friday, dressed as caped crusaders, furry creatures, princesses and other characters.

Commerce announced on Thursday that the nation’s third-quarter gross domestic product expanded by just a 1.5 percent annual rate. That’s pathetic growth that won’t allow the US to create enough jobs for the number of people entering the workforce. It’s also less than half the second quarter’s growth. But how Commerce got to that 1.5 percent number is truly amazing. Of the 1.5 percent, 0.45 of a percentage point came from increased health care spending.

The information is to be displayed in the form of a sign tacked to the crisis center´s door and must include a phone number to the nearest county services office where family free or low-cost family planning services can be obtained. Deceptively labeled the Reproductive FACT Act, the measure requires women seeking help with an unplanned pregnancy to be informed of alternatives, including abortions, which the pregnancy crisis centers do No survivors as 120 ´intact´ bodies removed from Russian passenger jet that crashed in Egypt with 224 on board including 17 children recovered still strapped to their seats Daily Mail (UK), by Darren Boyle    Original Article Posted By: JoniTx- 10/31/2015 8:27:50 AM     Post Reply Egyptian security forces confirmed there have been no survivors despite ´hearing voices´ inside the wrecked fuselage of a Russian passenger jet which crashed into the Sinai desert in northern Egypt as the bodies of 100 victims have been recovered. The aircraft, which had 200 adult passengers, 17 children and seven crew crashed less than 25 minutes after it took off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. The bodies of all 17 children on board have been recovered. The Irish-owned aircraft was leased by a Russian airline. It crashed in the Hassana area, south of Arish. Security forces discovered

Paul Singer Backs Marco Rubio Bloomberg, by Mark Halperin    Original Article Posted By: Emerson- 10/31/2015 8:26:13 AM     Post Reply Marco Rubio´s highly touted debate performance on Wednesday has already yielded a significant tangible benefit: The Republican presidential candidate has snagged the support of mega-donor Paul Singer, in a move that will be widely seen in the political world as a blow to struggling rival Jeb Bush.(Snip)Fiscally conservative and socially moderate, the hedge-fund manager has donated to conservative candidates and causes, such as pro-Israel groups, former Ambassador John Bolton, and the Tea Party Patriots, but he has steered many of his contributions to his own super political action committee, American Unity, which supports Republicans who back gay rights. Marco Rubio shows Republicans how to win Chicago Tribune, by S.E. Cupp    Original Article Posted By: jackson- 10/31/2015 8:22:49 AM     Post Reply In Wednesday night´s CNBC Republican debate, Marco Rubio found the thus-far mysterious and elusive juju that only Donald Trump and Ben Carson have been able to tap into in a primary dominated by otherwise utterly unexplainable forces. How, for example, have Trump and Carson been able to rise through the polls while offering little substance and making dozens of controversial statements that would be disqualifying for any other candidate? While many have insisted it´s merely the fact that they aren´t politicians, I think it goes deeper than that, and Rubio is perhaps the first so-called "establishment" candidate to figure it out: Voters GOP: No reason why our energy policy should be so divisive Investor´s Business Daily, by Andrew Malcolm    Original Article Posted By: SurferLad- 10/31/2015 8:22:29 AM     Post Reply Sen.

All the conditions are in place for a Venezuelan Mariel. According to a study from Venezuela´s Andres Bello Catholic University, it´s already started. Some 1.2 to 1.5 million of Venezuela´s 28 million people have already fled, mostly to the U.S. and Spain, virtually all in the last 15 years, the study says. "Venezuela has gone from being a country of immigration to one of emigration," University of Caracas sociologist Tomas Paez told radio-TV service Deutsche Welle. It´s a record exodus, and Paez

America´s Weakening Military Strength Is Terrifying Investor´s Business Daily, by Andrew Malcolm    Original Article Posted By: SurferLad- 10/31/2015 8:09:14 AM     Post Reply Pretty much everyone — even ex-state senator Barack Obama — says a president has no greater responsibility than national defense, protecting the homeland, its people and interests abroad. So why isn´t he? Americans have learned over time and especially since 2009 that what an administration says are its priorities and goals may be mere words. Remember those millions of new jobs promised for the summer of 2010? Or the $2,500 in health care savings every family would enjoy with ObamaCare that have turned into $3,000 more in expenses?

In question after question on the Quinnipiac University survey, city voters said he wasn’t getting the job done on reducing homelessness, tackling poverty and overseeing the NYPD. Underscoring their dissatisfaction, respondents also said they disagreed with how the mayor has handled charter schools and carriage horses. A majority — 53 percent — said the quality of life here was getting worse. Only 14 percent said it was getting better. Sixty-one percent gave de Blasio a thumbs-down on his

GOP Media Takedown: A Recipe for Victory American Thinker, by Selwyn Duke    Original Article Posted By: Judy W.- 10/31/2015 5:20:57 AM     Post Reply It’s long been known that a leader can gain power by rallying the people against a boogeyman. And it helps,when that boogeyman is real. When CNBC’s GOP debate moderators couldn’t help but be sanctimonious, supercilious, and self-important Wednesday night, they did more than provoke a response from their intellectual superiors. They did more than further reveal the Establishment Media as a left-wing monolith, further discredit themselves, and further cement in minds that they’re comic-book versions of journalists. They quite literally revealed a strategy for GOP electoral gains.

Florida senator puts GOP field on notice Boston Herald, by Ariana Cohen    Original Article Posted By: StormCnter- 11/1/2015 3:58:29 AM     Post Reply Marco Rubio is on the rise, and it’s put Jeb Bush, Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP field on notice. It’s also got the Hillary Clinton camp biting its fingernails. In a pivotal Republican debate last week, Rubio proved that he is both a deft politician and impressive communicator who didn’t roll over to CNBC’s debate moderators — who acted more like a partisan firing squad than professional journalists. When the left-leaning moderators asked Rubio belittling and/or loaded “gotcha” questions, he pushed back — big time — and spoke out against media bias to thunderous applause. But that’s not all Take the Cities Back from Democrats National Review Online, by Josh Gelernter    Original Article Posted By: StormCnter- 11/1/2015 3:52:22 AM     Post Reply The National Assessment of Educational Progress, a survey administered by the U.S. Department of Education, has just released its 2015 report on school performance. The school districts of most big cities are awful, but two stand out as utter, pathetic failures: Cleveland and Detroit. In Cleveland, 90 percent of students are unable to read “proficiently”; 91 percent are non-proficient at math. Detroit, remarkably, is even worse: 93 percent of kids fail at reading and 96 percent fail at math. It’s staggering. Cleveland has had Democratic mayors for the last 25 years.

Daniel Murphy and Mets experience how quickly the World Series turns New York Daily News, by Mike Lupica    Original Article Posted By: DaddyO- 11/1/2015 7:34:32 AM     Post Reply Mike Piazza was talking Friday night about his one shot at the World Series, back when he was one of the great Mets of them all, back in 2000, the last time the Mets were in a Series before this one. Piazza wasn’t talking about Roger Clemens, and the way Clemens acted like a board-certified crazy person with part of a broken-bat in his hand. Piazza was talking about everything that happened in what was such a compelling Series, even one that only lasted five games, and how he wouldn’t have believed at the time that he’d never be back.

Not just because Blue Bell’s many fans, some of whom are expected to line up at 5:30 a.m. at area grocery stores, have been deprived of the beloved Texas treat for nearly seven months.

This week CNBC’s wretched conduct of the Republican debate hurt the pocketbook of their parent company, Comcast, and gave the entire media a long-deserved black eye while upping the audience’s regard for the intended victims. If Watergate was the high water mark of the public esteem of journalists, the debate was its Waterloo.

In the past I’ve found myself in all the predictable places — among a list of doctors who graduated from my residency program, on my employer’s Web site, in various social-media posts. But in the stillness of a warm evening this past August, after putting my daughter to bed, I found myself in a new and terrifying place: an anti-choice Web site that claims I am part of an “abortion cartel.” In addition to my office address and links to find my medical Hillary Clinton’s rogue agenda: Why Sid Blumenthal matters New York Post, by Micah Morrison    Original Article Posted By: StormCnter- 11/1/2015 3:31:09 AM     Post Reply After the media inexplicably dubbed Hillary Rodham Clinton the “winner” of the Benghazi hearings, her apologists dismissed a line of questioning into her unofficial adviser, Sidney Blumenthal. So he was sending her e-mail offering advice on Libya and other matters of state. In the immortal words of Clinton at an earlier Benghazi hearing, “What difference does it make?” It matters because Clinton flouted President Obama’s authority, secretly employing a man the administration had banned — then Clinton and Blumenthal pursued a rogue agenda often motivated by political favors and payoffs for friends. Blumenthal was an aide to President Bill Clinton from 1997 to The Lady Wants to Fly Weekly Standard, by Ted R. Bromund    Original Article Posted By: Pluperfect- 11/1/2015 3:26:02 AM     Post Reply In the Second World War, flying in a Boeing B-17—the iconic Flying Fortress—was dangerous beyond belief. Of the 12,731 bombers produced between 1937 and 1945, 4,754 were lost or written off in the course of operations, a loss rate of 37 percent. Ten Americans, the B-17’s standard crew, risked death on every mission. To fly in the plane is to remember that, and them. But what was a horror in 1943 is an honor today, for only 10 flying B-17s remain—1 in Britain, the other 9 in the United States. Of these, the finest, the most nearly fully original, is Yo, Bundlers!

When the Clinton Scandals Boil Away National Journal, by Ron Fournier    Original Article Posted By: abuela10- 11/3/2015 11:29:39 AM     Post Reply She bur­ied Benghazi. She de­leted the email scan­dal. Such are the hopes of Hil­lary Rod­ham Clin­ton’s team after an NBC News/Wall Street Journ­al poll sug­gests that Amer­ic­ans are less in­clined to con­sider either is­sue crit­ic­al to their 2016 vote. So is Clin­ton out the woods? No—not if voters still want to trust their pres­id­ent. First, the good news: In the poll re­leased Tues­day, Clin­ton’s lead over in­sur­gent so­cial­ist Bernie Sanders has widened to a 2-to-1 mar­gin among Demo­crats. More than 80 per­cent of Demo­crat­ic voters be­lieve the former sec­ret­ary of State is the most likely to win their party’s nom­in­a­tion. Homeless in the Country They Served Fox News, by Jon Conradi    Original Article Posted By: KarenJ1- 11/3/2015 11:08:02 AM     Post Reply "We are going to remain relentless ... in our fight to end homelessness among our veterans. We have to have zero tolerance for homelessness among our veterans.” -- President Barack Obama (January 24, 2011). In 2010, President Obama declared that his administration would end homelessness among veterans in five years. A lofty, ambitious goal after 14 years of a nation at war, a deep recession and an economic recovery that has primarily benefited upper-income Americans. That goal has fallen short. On a brisk fall afternoon in a homeless encampment just a mile from the White House, homeless veterans haven’t seen Survey: Religious Americans keep faith amid secularization Associated Press, by Rachel Zoll    Original Article Posted By: NorthernDog- 11/3/2015 10:11:34 AM     Post Reply NEW YORK — A survey released Tuesday brought some good news for faith leaders alarmed by the spike in the number of Americans who say they have no ties to a particular religion. U.S. adults who continue to identify with a faith group, about 77 percent of all Americans, have largely stayed as religiously engaged as they were seven years ago, according to the Pew Research Center, evidence of a solid core of committed faithful who remain a bulwark against secularization. Two-thirds of religiously affiliated adults said last year that faith was very important to them and they prayed daily,		S-CP_TEST

Republicans trust Trump on economy, nuclear weapons Reuters, by Ginger Gibson    Original Article Posted By: jackson- 11/3/2015 9:36:19 AM     Post Reply WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump is the Republican candidate most trusted to manage the economy, deal with foreign leaders and serve as commander in chief, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll of Republicans conducted after the party´s third debate. And more Republicans would trust him with the nation’s nuclear weapons than most of the rest of their party´s presidential primary field. In terms of overall support, Trump was favored by 31 percent of Republicans polled by Reuters/Ipsos in an online survey conducted Oct. 28 to Nov. 2 that had a credibility interval of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Ahmad Chalabi, Iraqi Politician Who Helped Persuade U.S. to Invade, Dies at 71 New York Times, by Sewell Chan    Original Article Posted By: LittleHoodedMonk- 11/3/2015 9:24:59 AM     Post Reply Ahmad Chalabi, the Iraqi politician who from exile helped persuade the United States to invade Iraq in 2003, and then unsuccessfully tried to attain power as his country was nearly torn apart by sectarian violence, died at his home in Baghdad on Tuesday. He was 71. The cause was heart failure, Iraqi officials said. Mr. Chalabi is the Iraqi perhaps most associated with President George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq and topple its longtime dictator, Saddam Hussein. (Snip) In 1998, he helped persuade Congress to pass the Iraq Liberation Act, which was signed by President Bill Clinton and declared it the policy of the Prosecutors seek murder conviction for South Africa´s Pistorius Reuters, by Stella Mapenzauswa    Original Article Posted By: LittleHoodedMonk- 11/3/2015 9:09:55 AM     Post Reply Bloemfontein, South Africa - Prosecutors called on Tuesday for South Africa´s "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius to be convicted of murder and sent back to jail for shooting his girlfriend, challenging a court´s decision to sentence him for a lesser offense. The Paralympic gold medalist was freed on parole last month less than a year into a five-year sentence for the "culpable homicide" of Reeva Steenkamp, who he killed on Valentine´s Day 2013. Pistorius himself did not attend the half-day Supreme Court hearing into his highly-charged case, which has prompted a fierce debate in South Africa, Ted Cruz: It´s In His Heart American Thinker, by Lloyd Marcus    Original Article Posted By: magnante- 11/3/2015 8:49:51 AM     Post Reply A frustrated hopeless patriot wrote: “Unfortunately Mr. Marcus, it´s not only the left but also the right that is out to destroy America. Wicked people in high places, the elite if you will, control both parties. That is why no matter who is elected that nothing changes.” This patriot brother´s discouragement explains why I want Ted Cruz in the driver´s seat as president. On numerous occasions, Ted Cruz has proven that he has no problem being odd-man-out with regard to Washington politics. I have made the following point numerous times. Politicians promise the moon on the campaign trail. The 64,000-dollar question is who

Office of Civil Rights says disguised boy has right to shower with girls American Thinker, by Ed Straker    Original Article Posted By: magnante- 11/3/2015 8:47:37 AM     Post Reply The Department of Education´s office of civil rights says that a disguised boy has been discriminated against because he is not allowed to shower naked with girls. Federal education authorities, staking out their firmest position yet on an increasingly contentious issue, found Monday that an Illinois school district violated anti-discrimination laws when it did not allow a transgender student who identifies as a girl and participates on a girls’ sports team to change and shower in the girls’ locker room without restrictions. The Education Department gave 30 days to the officials of Township High School District 211 to reach a solution or Heat flash over Sinai prior to Russian plane crash reportedly detected by US satellite RIA Novosti [Moscow, Russia], by Staff    Original Article Posted By: LittleHoodedMonk- 11/3/2015 8:36:55 AM     Post Reply Just before a Russian passenger airliner crashed in Egypt’s Sinai on Saturday, a US infrared satellite reportedly detected a heat flash in the same vicinity, indicating that an explosion may have happened on board. The US intelligence community believes that a fuel tank or bomb may have been the source of the heat signature, NBC News reported. The same satellite ruled out a missile attack, as it didn’t detect a heat trail that a rocket engine would have produced, the channel’s source said. The heat flash may not be related to the crash since the Sinai Peninsula is a volatile place with regular military activity, a Pentagon official told Iran’s Parliament Says ‘Death to America’ Chant Is the ‘Symbol of the Islamic Republic’ PJMedia, by Robert Spencer    Original Article Posted By: earlybird- 11/3/2015 8:28:06 AM     Post Reply As he was concluding the calamitous nuclear agreement with Iran last summer, John Kerry asked the Iranians to cut out the “Death to America” chants. (This was not long before he told an astonished world that the chants did not really mean that the Iranian mullahs wanted to kill us.) In yet another indication of just how disastrous the nuclear deal really is, the Iranians have not only rejected Kerry’s request, but are ramping up the genocidal rhetoric. On Monday, 192 of the 290 members of the Iranian Majlis (Parliament) declared: The martyr-nurturing nation of Iran is not at all New polls: Carson surges, Cruz too; Trump shakey Investor´s Business Daily, by Andrew Malcolm    Original Article Posted By: SurferLad- 11/3/2015 8:26:03 AM     Post Reply A quick polling update before next week´s Republican Party presidential debate. And it´s very good news for Ben Carson and Ted Cruz. But just so-so news for Donald Trump. A new Public Policy Polling survey of Iowa Republicans shows that Carson at 21% has moved into an essential tie for first place there with Trump at 22%. What struck those pollsters, however, was Cruz´ six point surge to 14% and third place. Marco Rubio also jumped up two points to fourth with 10%.

School District Outlaws Depiction Of ‘any religious leader’ After Mom Protests Muhammad Drawing Daily Caller, by Eric Owens    Original Article Posted By: happywarrior- 11/6/2015 1:14:27 PM     Post Reply A school district superintendent in semi-rural Southern California has completely outlawed all drawings of all religious leaders on campus because a history teacher assigned a vocabulary worksheet that asked students to draw images of Muhammad. Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District superintendent Brent Woodard implemented the far-reaching ban after a single parent complained, reports the Los Angeles Daily News. The seventh-grade history assignment at High Desert School in Acton, Calif. was a worksheet called “Vocabulary Pictures: The Rise of Islam.” It featured several words including Quran, Mecca, Bedouins and Muhammad.

The academy has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to

Obama Expected to Reject Construction of Keystone XL Oil Pipeline New York Times, by Coral Davenport    Original Article Posted By: KarenJ1- 11/6/2015 11:24:36 AM     Post Reply WASHINGTON — President Obama is expected on Friday to announce he has rejected the request from a Canadian company to build the Keystone XL oil pipeline, ending a seven-years-long review that had become a flash point in the debate over his climate policies. President Obama’s denial of the proposed 1,179-mile pipeline, which would have carried 800,000 barrels a day of carbon-heavy petroleum from the Canadian oil sands to the Gulf Coast, comes as he is seeking to build an ambitious legacy on climate change. A major United Nations summit meeting on climate change will be held in Paris in Doubters question ´strange´ stock market rebound Reuters, by Alistair Smout and Danilo Masoni    Original Article Posted By: Toledo- 11/6/2015 11:04:42 AM     Post Reply LONDON/MILAN - The double-digit stock-market rebound after a bruising summer has put European shares back into positive territory for the year, but sentiment around the central-bank-fueled rally remains fragile. Weak trading volumes, a so-far disappointing earnings season and a focus on reliable dividend payouts rather than blockbuster growth have all contributed to the view that investors are being sucked into a market updraft rather than enthusiastically betting on a cyclical upturn. Even with European shares getting a fresh lift from a weaker euro on Friday - after U.S. data smashed expectations and fueled bets on tighter U.S. rate policy in Trump Calls Latino Activists ‘Stupid’ for Using Swearing Kids Fox Business, by Julia Limitone    Original Article Posted By: chicodon- 11/6/2015 11:04:24 AM     Post Reply During an interview with the FOX Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump responded to DeportRacism.com’s video that featured kids yelling profanities at him. “To have young kids using that kind of language is a disgrace… and people are actually going wild about it and they’re saying ‘we’re now going to support Trump.’ Anybody that would do an ad like that is stupid to be honest. They’re stupid people who would do an ad like that,’ he said. Trump argued the ad has completely backfired and he will win the Hispanic vote.

For the moment, the focal point of that criticism is Rubio’s personal finances, as the New York Times reported this morning: A decade after he began using a Republican Party credit card for personal purchases like paving stones at his home, Senator Marco Rubio on Wednesday pledged to disclose new spending records from that account as he sought to inoculate himself against

Putin More Effective At Fighting ISIS Terrorists Than Obama? Investor´s Business Daily, by Monica Showalter    Original Article Posted By: rockyTCB- 11/6/2015 10:48:17 AM     Post Reply Russia´s President Vladimir Putin faces a major test if an investigation finds that Islamic State terrorists were responsible for bombing a Russia jetliner six days ago. Not just on the battlefield, but also in the court of public opinion. While his popularity in Russia is high now, our sources in Moscow think he could lose it if the Russian public perceives his intervention in Syria as bringing terrorism to the homeland. At the same time, in the West, Putin´s reputation against terrorism seems to be rising. Domestic concerns may explain why Putin is urging caution on the cause of the Metrojet crash, A Guide to Marco Rubio´s Messy Personal Finance New York Magazine, by Margaret Hartmann    Original Article Posted By: Carolina Kat- 11/6/2015 10:41:40 AM     Post Reply When asked about his numerous money woes at the last Republican debate, Marco Rubio dismissed them as "discredited attacks from Democrats and my political opponents."[SNIP] The pressure grew so intense that Rubio promised to release records from his time in Florida’s House of Representatives "in the next few weeks." A Rubio campaign aide claimed, "our plan has always been to release these," but that´s dubious since journalists have been trying to obtain the files for a decade. Here´s a guide to Rubio´s questionable financial dealings, and why the issue continues to haunt him. Clinton Signed NDA Laying Out Criminal Penalties for Mishandling of Classified Info The Washington Fee Beacon, by Lachlan Markay    Original Article Posted By: morecowbell- 11/6/2015 10:41:31 AM     Post Reply As the nation’s chief diplomat, Hillary Clinton was responsible for ascertaining whether information in her possession was classified and acknowledged that “negligent handling” of that information could jeopardize national security, according to a copy of an agreement she signed upon taking the job. A day after assuming office as secretary of state, Clinton signed a Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement that laid out criminal penalties for “any unauthorized disclosure” of classified information. Experts have guessed that Clinton signed such an agreement, but a copy of her specific contract, obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute Christian Daycare Workers Fired for Refusing to Call a Little Girl a Boy Breitbart Texas, by Lana Shadwick    Original Article Posted By: JoElla Bee- 11/6/2015 10:30:05 AM     Post Reply HOUSTON, Texas — Two daycare workers have been fired for refusing to go along with the center’s transgender agenda. Madeline Kirksey, one of the workers who is an author of a Christian book, says her religious liberty rights have been violated. The two were fired after refusing to call a little girl a boy. The two male parents of a six-year-old little girl told employees at the school to refer to their daughter as a boy, and to call her by a new masculine name. The little girl’s hair had also been cut like a boy’s. Kirksey told Breitbart Texas

A 10K Family Reunion Marco Rubio´s Mysterious Business Expenses Land Him in 2016 Hot Seat People, by Tierney McCafee    Original Article Posted By: Carolina Kat- 11/6/2015 10:27:46 AM     Post Reply As Marco Rubio rises in the polls, his financial past is coming back to haunt him – namely two years of credit card transactions from his time as speaker of the Florida House, the details of which remain a mystery. During the GOP presidential hopeful´s 2010 Senate race, the Tampa Bay Times and the Miami Herald obtained his 2006 and 2007 credit card statements, which allegedly showed that he regularly charged personal expenses – including a four-day, $10,000 family reunion and repairs to his family minivan, according to the Times. The investigation also found he failed to disclose $34,000 in
