Police Video – Woman High on Acid Runs Naked in The Street

A woman “tripping balls” on LSD ran naked through an Arkansas city and fought with officers when they tried to restrain her, police in Fayetteville wrote in a startlingly straightforward report.

Incredible dash cam video footage catches Melissa Valencia, 21, streaking nude through a parking lot near South Church Ave. and West Mountain St. in the city in the northwest corner of Arkansas.

“Come here! Stop running!” the officer yells as he approaches the naked woman, who takes off when she sees the approaching police car.

Sarah Palin Jumps On The “Impeach Obama” Bandwagon

“You don’t bring a lawsuit to a gunfight,” Sarah Palin said on Fox’s Hannity on Tuesday, questioning Boehner’s proposed lawsuit of the president. “And there’s no place for lawyers on the front lines. I think it’s time for a little less talk, a lot more action,” she said.

Palin then suggested that some Republicans in Congress want to impeach the president, so that should be the reason to start the impeachment proceedings.

“When we see even GOP lawmakers who are recognizing and proclaiming Obama’s violation of the constitution, and then ignoring that constitution and the power they have to impeach, it gets kind of frustrating for the American people.”

Echoing an op-ed she published this week on the Breitbart website, Palin said impeachment was the only device Congress could use to halt the actions of what she described as an “imperial President.”

“The one tool they have are articles of impeachment, let’s get going on that,” she said.

They’re ringing the impeachment bell, but no one, not Sarah Palin, not John Boehner, not any other congressional Republican are saying exactly what the president has done that warrants impeachment.

Warrent Issued To Have Police Photograph Teenager’s Erect Penis

Now I’ve officially heard it all. The 17 year old, whose name is being withheld for obvious reasons, is being asked by the court to have police take a picture of his erect penis.

According to a warrant obtained by the Manassas City police and Prince William County prosecutors, the 17-year-old is to accompany police to the hospital where he is expected to expose himself in an aroused state, and have his erect penis photographed.

The teenager is facing child pornography chargers because of an alleged incident involving his 15 year old girlfriend who sent him text messages containing sexually explicit photos. He allegedly text her of a sex video.

One of the teen’s lawyers, Jessica Harbeson Foster, said she was told that the police would “just take him down to the hospital, give him a shot and then take the pictures that we need.” So far, a local judge has allowed the teen to avoid the warrant, the Post reported, letting him leave the area without complying.

“The prosecutor’s job is to seek justice,” Foster said. “What is just about this? How does this advance the interest of the Commonwealth? This is a 17-year-old who goes to school every day, plays football, has never been in trouble with the law before. Now he’s saddled with two felonies and the implication that he’s a sexual predator. I don’t mind trying the case. My goal is to stop the search warrant. I don’t want him to go through that. Taking him down to the hospital so he can get an erection in front of all those cops, that’s traumatizing.”

Law enforcement officials declined to comment to the Post. The next court date in the case is July 15.

Republicans Spending More on Another Benghazi Investigation Than on Veterans

Think Progress crunched the numbers and the results are exactly what we expected.

They love war but hate the troops and veterans. Republicans in Congress are wasting more tax payers dollars on yet another Benghazi investigation, than what is appropriated for veterans care.

The House could spend up to $3.3 million in taxpayer dollars over seven months on a special committee to investigate the Sep. 2011 attacks against the American diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, more than lawmakers have appropriated for committees dedicated to investigating ethics and helping American veterans over an entire 12 month period.

A ThinkProgress analysis of House spending on its 20 permanent committees from Jan. 3, 2013 to Jan. 3, 2014 finds that since Benghazi committee’s full-year equivalent budget would be an estimated $5,657,142, its investigation will cost more than the budgets of nine other House committees:

Committee on Rules: $2,857,408
Committee on Small Business: $2,992,688
Committee on Ethics: $3,020,459
Committee on Veterans’ Affairs: $3,048,546
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence: $4,389,758
Committee on House Administration: $4,600,560
Committee on Agriculture: $5,036,187
Committee on the Budget: $5,138,824
Committee on Science, Space, and Technology: $5,282,755
House Benghazi Panel: $5,657,142
Committee on Natural Resources: $6,555,829
Committee on Armed Services: $6,563,535
Committee on Education and the Workforce: $6,952,763
Committee on Homeland Security: $7,033,588
Committee on the Judiciary: $7,077,016
Committee on Foreign Affairs: $7,388,112
Committee on Financial Services: $7,394,482
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure: $8,182,307
Committee on Ways and Means: $8,423,411
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform: $8,940,437
Committee on Energy and Commerce: $9,520,516

The seven House Republicans will receive a bigger share of the committee budget, $2.2 million, more than the five Democrats, who will see “just over $1 million.”

Joe Scarborough – Chris Christie is “Chicken…” – Video

Thinking he can still win the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, Chris Christie pandered to the far right wing faction of the Republican Party by killing a gun bill in Jersey that would have limited the amount of rounds in a gun, he then refused to meet with parents from the sandy Hook massacre.

This of course did not go over well with Democrats, and apparently it did not go over well with some Republicans either.

Joe Scarborough of MSNBC called Christy a “chicken…” for the blatantly dumb political move he made.

Scarborough: I think it’s kind of chicken “something,” which I won’t say on the air. It’s chicken, we’ll say “salad,” for Chris Christie to not meet with these families for at least five to 10 minutes, hypocritical. How about being humane? And the reason Chris can’t do that is the logic, the ten precious children, it’s so convoluted that I don’t think he could say that with a straight face. I think he would be embarrassed to say that to parents who lost their children. Saying that if you support only ten, only a clip of ten rounds in a clip that somehow you’re saying those ten children aren’t precious?
