Fox News Upset The President Dined at Fancy Restaurant and Not “Olive Garden” – Video

Now this happened while Mr. Obama was on vacation with his family in Hawaii. The President of the United States took his wife, The First Lady of the United States, to a fancy restaurant and the right winged echo chamber had their next talking point – Obama must be an uppity negro with an uppity appetite!

The right winged media had a field day covering the story. WorldNetDaily, Breitbart News, and the Daily Caller were among the other right-wing rags that were offended by this choice of gourmet feasting. And of course, it was also featured on the Fox Nation website. Even more “mainstream’ outlets like The Hill and Mediaite ran with it. But the hypocrisy only validates the widely circulated meme about Fox News as being “Rich people paying rich people to tell middle-class people to blame poor people.” Why the President and his family cannot enjoy an evening of fine food and drink is never explained.

On is Fox News show, Neil Cavuto’s even had the nerve to ask if there were no Olive Gardens in Hawaii.

But the Fox will be Fox and ever since 2009 when Obama took office, bashing every move he made has been Fox’s number priority. So if Obama eat at a fancy restaurant, Fox will bash him. If Obama orders a burger at a local burger joint, Fox will bash that too like Sean Hannity did in the second video below.

Fox “News” – So transparent, it’s not even funny!

The Burger Caper!

John Boehner Wins with 216 Votes – Louie Gohmert got 3… That’s right, 3!

The crazy nutcase from Texas who got 3 votes will not be mentioned in this post. He got 3 votes!

The House has re-elected John Boehner to be speaker in the new Republican-led Congress, despite opposition by tea party lawmakers that underscored party divisions.

The Ohio Republican garnered the votes of 216 GOP lawmakers as Congress convened Tuesday. That was enough for him to win a third two-year term leading the House.

But in an embarrassing slap, 25 Republicans voted for other candidates or voted present. They consider Boehner to be too accommodating and not conservative enough.

Their repudiation of Boehner was an awkward display of GOP schisms at a time when party leaders want to show voters that they can govern effectively. They want to show they won’t be forced by tea party legislators into unwinnable, unpopular showdowns with President Barack Obama.

Two More NYPD Cops Shot in The Bronx


NBC is reporting that authorities are questioning a suspect in connection with the Monday night shootings of two NYPD officers responding to a robbery call in the Bronx, police and law enforcement sources say.

The man being questioned went to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in upper Manhattan with a gunshot wound to the back. Authorities are investigating if he is connected to the shootings of 30-year-old NYPD officer Andrew Dossi and 38-year-old officer Aliro Pellerano.

Pellerano was shot in the abdomen and arm near East 184th Street and Tiebout Avenue in Fordham at around 10:30 p.m. Monday, officials said at a news conference early Tuesday. Dossi was shot in the arm and lower back. Both are in stable condition at St. Barnabas Hospital, the NYPD said.

White House Weighs in on Ranking Republican’s Connection to KKK Leader David Duke

Sticking to their true colors, the Republicans in Congress anointed Steve Scalise as their new House Majority Whip, the same Steve Scalise who gave a speech at a David Duke white supremacy event in 2002. That Steve Scalise is now the third ranking Republican in Congress. And the White House is weighing in on that sad fact.

During his Monday briefing, one day before the start of a new congressional session, Earnest said it will be up to House Republicans to decide if Scalise should keep his leadership post despite his admission that in 2002 he spoke to a Louisiana group created by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. But, Earnest went on, if Republicans do keep Scalise as one of their leaders, it will reflect on their party’s values at a time when the GOP is trying to reach out to voters of color.

“There’s no arguing that who Republicans decide to elevate into a leadership position says a lot about what the conference’s priorities and values are,” Earnest said during the briefing.

“Ultimately, Mr. Scalise reportedly described himself as ‘David Duke without the baggage,'” he continued, referring to a comment Scalise allegedly once made to a reporter. “It will be up to Republicans to decide what that says about their conference.”

Jon Stewart Has Endorsed Sen. Melvin Dickpic-Tweet for President in 2016 – Video

Now after carefully considering all the potential candidates for president in 2016, Jon Stewart settled on who he thought was the best person among the group of wannabes – Sen. Melvin Dickpic-Tweet.

For example, former Sen. Jim Webb, a Democratic hopeful, is defending more than $90,000 in payments from his PAC to his family members for work on his website.

“So you’re saying Jim Webb is embroiled in a scandal involving a website,” Stewart said. “It’s the most ironic fall from grace since Sen. Melvin Dickpic-Tweet.”

Stewart took a look at the field on both sides, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Fox News host and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and more. After carefully considering the candidates, Jon Stewart announced his pick for 2016.

Get those Dickpictweet ’16 bumper stickers ready…

Pat Robertson’s Advice – Beat The Non Believing Kids – “Blessings of Discipline”

Pastor Pat Robertson, the conservative Founder of The Christian Broadcasting Network, is apparently through with trying to win every soul for Christ. In a response to an email from a viewer who was concern that her grandson is always high and mocking her religion, Roberts suggested that the youth should be beaten, or to say it the way Robertson said it, he needs to be taken “to the woodshed and let him understand the blessings of discipline.”

“He needs a strong male figure,” Robertson continued. “He’s going to wind up in a correctional institution, and the next thing you know, he’s going to be doing hard time in some prison. And then he would wish he wasn’t such a smart, you know, wise guy. Because he’ll be disciplined in a way that he’ll never forget in some prison.”

“He needs discipline in the worst possible way.”

A Women Only Bus Service Opens Up to Avoid Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment on buses is so apparently bad in Nepal, that a separate bus service has opened up to stop the harassment.

The chairman of the company behind the venture says the aim is to make women feel more comfortable and secure.

Four 17-seat vehicles will run on key routes in the city during rush hour.

Around a quarter of young women in Nepal have been subjected to sexual harassment on public transport, according to a 2013 World Bank survey.

All buses in Kathmandu have to designate a certain number of seats as “women-only” by law, but critics say the rule is poorly enforced.

Bharat Nepal, who chairs the Bagmati Transport Entrepreneurs Association behind the scheme, said it was designed to address the longstanding issue of sexual harassment, which is particularly problematic during peak hours.

The buses will run on Kathmandu’s busy Kalanki-Balkot route.

There is currently just one woman conductor across the company’s four vehicles but Mr Nepal says the aim is to eventually run the service with an all-female crew.

Ferguson Grand Juror Sues Ferguson Prosecutor Over Mike Brown Case

“In [the grand juror]’s view, the current information available about the grand jurors’ views is not entirely accurate — especially the implication that all grand jurors believed that there was no support for any charges,” the lawsuit says, per the news outlet. “Moreover, the public characterization of the grand jurors’ view of witnesses and evidence does not accord with [Doe]’s own.”

The lawsuit asks for an injunction that would allow the juror to speak publicly about the Brown case. The juror is being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri.

The legal standards in the investigation of Officer Darren Wilson’s August shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown were also “muddled” and presented in an “untimely” manner, according to the lawsuit.

“From [the grand juror]’s perspective, the investigation of Wilson had a stronger focus on the victim than in other cases presented to the grand jury,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit argues that First Amendment rights outweigh the typical rules of secrecy that regulate grand juries. The plaintiff also takes a shot at McCulloch’s vow for transparency and his releasing huge amounts of grand jury documents.

“From [Doe]’s perspective, although the release of a large number of records provides an appearance of transparency, with heavy redactions and the absence of context, those records do not fully portray the proceedings before the grand jury,” the lawsuit reads.

McCulloch’s office did not immediately return TPM’s request for comment.

Poll: Republicans are Unhappy With House Speaker John Boehner

Maybe that’s why the Republican dunce, Louie Gohmert is challenging Boehner for the House Speakership position!

The national survey of more than 600 Republican voters found a majority wary of embracing incumbent House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. (Full results at the end of this story.)

Boehner, who will face a challenge from members of his own party in Tuesday’s speaker vote, fares worse than McConnell in the poll. Sixty percent of Republican voters say they want someone new rather than Boehner.

Only 25 percent of voters favor putting Boehner and McConnell in leadership positions. Even fewer—16 percent—want both Boehner and McConnell to serve in the House and Senate’s top jobs. According to the poll, 53 percent want neither or would prefer to see new party leadership.
