Announcement – There Will Be No Christmas Celebration in Ebola-Striken Sierra Leone

That was the announcement from the head of the government’s Ebola response unit. There will be “no Christmas and New Year celebrations this year,” Palo Conteh said in the capital of Freetown, according to AFP.

“We will ensure that everybody remains at home to reflect on Ebola,” he said. “Military personnel will be on the streets at Christmas and the New Year to stop any street celebrations.”

The majority of Sierra Leone’s population is Muslim, but Christians make up 10% of its people, according to the CIA World Factbook.

More than 6,500 have died and another 18,100 have been infected with Ebola in West Africa — mainly in the nations of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea — since the outbreak began nearly a year ago.

This Alabama Police Officer Did a Good Deed – Imagine That – Video

Want to know the real definition of protecting and serving? Meet Alabama police officer, William Stacy.

Too bad we don’t see more stories like this from today’s police.

According to People Magazine, Officer William Stacy responded to a shoplifting complaint at Dollar General, but instead of making an arrest, he did something kind. Officer Stacy decided to give Helen Johnson, 47, a break — something that she so desperately needed.

“Johnson went to the store with $1.25 and was short 50 cents for a dozen eggs, so she hid five in her pocket, which immediately broke,” reports People Magazine.

Officer Stacy learned that Johnson was trying to feed her her niece, daughter, and two grandchildren, who had not eaten for days, and he couldn’t help but feel bad for the woman.

And so, the police officer decided to buy the woman eggs, and give her a big hug, even if she attempted to break the law.

“After hearing about the situation, Officer Stacy decided not to press charges and made a deal with Johnson that if he buys the eggs, she won’t shoplift again. She agreed and asked if she could give him a hug,” reports People Magazine.

Poll: New Jersey Voters say No to a Chris Christie Presidency

The people who knows Chris Christie best don’t want him to be president.

A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday found that 53% of New Jersey voters said Christie would not make a good President.

And Democrat Hillary Clinton would trounce Christie 50%-39% in the Garden State if they faced each other in the 2016 election.

“Even Jersey guys, actually Jersey girls, don’t think the nation will go for a Jersey guy like Gov. Christopher Christie,” said pollster Maurice Carroll.

The poll showed Clinton beating Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Rand Paul and former presidential candidate Mitt Romney among New Jersey voters.

House Republicans and Democrats Agree to Massive Spending Bill

Call them “small government Republicans.” Just hours before the 12 am deadline, the Republican controlled House of Representatives passed their version of a massive $1.1 trillion spending package.

The accord was reached just hours before the midnight deadline, in a 219-206 vote, amid the last-minute brinkmanship and bickering that has come to mark one of Congress’s most polarized — and least productive — eras. The legislation now heads to the Senate, which is expected to pass it in the coming days.

The split in the Democratic Party dramatically burst into view when Representative Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader and one of President Obama’s most loyal supporters, broke with the administration over a provision in the bill that would roll back regulation of the Dodd-Frank Act, which Ms. Pelosi said was a giveaway to big banks whose practices helped fuel the Great Recession. She spoke on the House floor in the early afternoon, expressing her strong opposition to the bill.

10 Year Old Embarrasses Politician on Live Television – Video

It happened in London, but the same thing can easily happen here, where our government has been infiltrated by Teapartiers and backward Republicans.

The 10 year old decided to pose a math question to the Minister of Education, Nicky Morgan. But Morgan, equipped with her education position in the government, was no match for Leon’s question.

“What’s the cubed route of 125?” Leon asked on live television.

Bet she didn’t see that coming!

“I think it’s probably better that politicians don’t do maths or spelling on air,” the Education Secretary replied.

Leon asked again, but got the same response from the politician.

Sidenote: The answer is of course, 5. A number multiplied by itself three times gives a cubed value, so 5×5×5 =125
