Vitter made the comments during a March 18 town hall at Blanchard Elementary School in Blanchard, Louisiana.
“I think the Koch Brothers are two of the most patriotic Americans in the history of the Earth,” Vitter said. That line sparked applause from the audience.
Later on during the town hall, Vitter heaped some more praise on the Koch brothers, which again, sparked applause.
“Maybe this is a good example because I’ll be honest with you, God Bless the Koch brothers,” Vitter added. “They’re fighting for our freedoms.”
President Obama told Democrats that turnout is their best hope for this year’s congressional elections — and warned of dire consequences if the party doesn’t turn out the vote this November.
“In midterms, we get clobbered,” Obama said Thursday at a fundraiser in Miami for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Obama was probably thinking of the midterms in 2010, when Republicans won control of the U.S. House and snapped what had been a string of legislative successes for the president.
It’s doubtful that Democrats can win back the House in this year’s elections.
The battle for Obama’s party is to keep its majority in the U.S. Senate, which could be at risk if the Republicans have a big year.
TMZ is reporting that Ray J has re-entered the world of porn … and he’s gone from blow jobs to nose jobs.
The man famous for making Kim Kardashian a star hit the sheets with Joan Rivers for a very dirty session. Ok … nowhere near as dirty as he got with Kim, but in old lady terms, it’s raunchy.
As Joan does so well … they faked sex for her WE tv show, “Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?” (which premieres March 29). You gotta watch … it’s pretty funny.
Even though it’s all for gags … Vivid Entertainment honcho Steven Hirsch tells TMZ he did meet with Joan to discuss the possibility of making her his first GILF star. He tells us, “I’d pay her $100,000 right now!”
CBS News affiliate anchor Catherine Anaya has retracted her claim that White House press secretary Jay Carney receives questions from the press in advance of his daily press briefings.
Anaya, an anchor for Phoenix’s KPHO 5, said she “inadvertently” gave the impression that all reporters submit questions ahead of time, when in fact she meant only to say that she had provided her question ahead of time.
“As a local journalist I had no issue providing my proposed question in advance because I wanted to make sure it was an appropriate for a national briefing and I wanted to make sure it was appropriate for Mr. Carney but in discussing it with a staff member the night before we decided I would save it for the president,” she wrote to Talking Points Memo.
“I was attempting to not waste national time on a local question but in my attempt at explaining that I unintentionally made it sound like that experience applied to everyone,” she wrote. “That is my mistake and I own up to it.”
KPHO also posted a retraction to its site but later took this down, telling TPM that it wasn’t ready for publication.
You know when an election is coming and who is planning to run for higher office when die hard Republicans buck their party platform to appeal to a larger audience. That is what the suspected 2016 Republican presidential candidate is doing, as he tries his best to distance himself from the crazies that occupies the Republicans.
Rand Paul put a new spin on a familiar refrain that the Republican Party needs to broaden its base. He compared the GOP’s need for change to a recent Domino’s Pizza’s campaign to improve the taste of its crust.
Speaking to a packed crowd of students at the University of California at Berkeley on Wednesday, Paul said that “the Republican Party needs to either evolve, adapt or die.”
“Remember when Domino’s finally admitted they had bad crust? Think Republican Party. Admit it; bad crust. We need a different kind of party,” he said referring to a well-known advertising campaign by the pizza chain.
After complaints from customers of stale, flavorless crust, Domino’s promised change and documented its efforts to come up with better tasting pizza.
I can guarantee you that the Republicans cannot come up with a better tasting party. Their very presence will always leave a bitter taste in the mouth!
Charles Gaba has “been tracking the most up-to-date enrollment information and offering his own projections on his blog, ACAsignups.net. On the same day that he predicted the 5 million signups milestone, he accurately predicted that California would hit the 1 million mark.”
“His next big prediction: The final sign-up tally will hit 6.22 million.”
Despite earlier declarations from opposition leaders in Kiev that the Crimea referendum was illegal and Crimea would always be part of Ukraine, yesterday a plan was announced that Ukraine would pull out all its forces from Crimea. The forces, some 25,000 personnel, will be relocated to parts of Ukraine outside of the Crimea region.
Though not a formal recognition of Russian control over Crimea, it’s pretty close.
While the provisional government in Kiev has insisted that Russia’s annexation of Crimea is illegal and has appealed to international supporters for help, the evacuation announcement by the head of the national security council, Andriy Parubiy, effectively amounted to a surrender of Crimea, at least from a military standpoint.
It came hours after militiamen, backed by Russian forces, seized the headquarters of the Ukrainian Navy in Sevastopol and detained its commander, in what appeared to be the start of a concerted effort to oust the Ukrainian armed forces from outposts throughout the peninsula.
Imagine if the teen had nefarious intentions. The new tower which replaces the two destroyed in the World Trade Center attack on September 11th, is not completely finished but already, a security breach!
A daredevil New Jersey teen sneaked up to the antenna atop 1 World Trade Center in the middle of the night to take pictures — passing a sleeping guard, officials said Thursday.
Justin Casquejo, 16, managed to crawl threw a 12-by-12-inch hole in the construction fence surrounding the nation’s tallest building at about 4:10 a.m. on Sunday and then scaled scaffolding surrounding the tower to get inside, according to Port Authority spokesman Joe Pentangelo.
The teen told investigators he climbed the scaffolding until he was able to find an entry point on the sixth floor.
He rode the elevator to the 88th floor, according to court documents, and then “took the staircase up to 104th floor,” he told police.
“I went to the rooftop and climbed the ladder all the way to the antenna,” Casquejo admitted.
A Port Authority officer ultimately grabbed Casquejo on the 104th floor at 6 a.m. — two hours after he breached the gates, officials said.
The teen also crept by a sleeping private security guard on the 104th floor, who has since been fired, officials said.
The founder of the Westboro Baptist Church who brought himself and his congregation notoriety by protesting at the funerals of military troops, the man responsible for having a group of misguided people celebrate every time there is a mass murder (they celebrated when 20 kids were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School for crying out loud!), or celebrate when people die from a natural disaster, that man – Fred Phelps – has died. He was 84 years old.
A very hateful man is gone. I don’t think he will be resting in peace.
(NaturalNews) As more and more people wake up to the dangers of fluoride, chlorine, pharmaceuticals, and the many other toxic compounds found in municipal water supplies, the market for bottled water has exploded. But in the process, some major food and beverage corporations have unwittingly begun peddling that very same tap water in bottles as “pure,” a deceptive labeling term that is the subject of a new trade controversy in Europe.
According to a recent report by Occupy Monsanto, the Dasani water brand, which is owned by beverage giant Coca-Cola, is one such bottled water counterfeit, if you will, that contains purified tap water dressed in fancy-looking bottles. Like many other bottled water brands, Dasani is sold at a premium price, and many people perceive it to be superior to tap water, even though it actually is just tap water.
Even though the majority of the impurities have admittedly been removed from Dasani water, and minerals added back in, many people do not realize that the water contained in Dasani bottles is not actually from a natural spring. If you read closely the labels found on water bottles, it usually spells out the source where the water inside was derived. But this information is often overlooked by consumers who believe they are buying something superior.
“Figures from independent beverage research company Canadean show that at least two out of every five bottles of water sold around the world are, like Dasani, ‘purified’ waters, rather than ‘source’ waters which originate from a spring,” explains Trevor Datson in an Occupy Monsanto piece. “Most of the supermarket own-label bottled waters consist of treated mains water. In short, they are subjected to many of the same treatments that source waters undergo to satisfy public health requirements after being pumped up from the ground.”
The significance of this is that water specifically derived from a natural spring actually is superior to the water supplied by the local tap, at least in most cases. Many people who buy bottled water assume their water comes from a spring, because this is how the bottled water industry got its start. But today, brands like Dasani, Aquafina, and Sparkletts have captured significant market share by engaging in what some would called deceptive advertising.
The Orlando Sentinel reported that 61-year-old James Guy Bull was arrested on Tuesday after neighbors told police that they saw him attacking his mixed-breed, 8-month-old dog on multiple occasions at his Daytona Beach apartment.
“They heard the animal yelp and cry but [Bull] continued with the conduct,” a police report said.
One witness heard a “dog in distress.” But when Bull saw the neighbor, he “pulled up his pants and put the dog down.”
“Both witnesses claim that they can hear the animal crying and yelping through the walls of the apartment but not when she is chained up on the porch,” the charging document alleged.
The report described the dog as “clearly emaciated” and having “no water or food.”
“The chain was rather large and it was stuck in … the wood slats. She had about 8 inches of space from the post,” police said. “The female dog was transported to Halifax Humane Society for medical treatment.”
Bull was charged with two counts of animal cruelty. He remained in Volusia County Branch Jail on Wednesday.
