ISIS Reportedly Beheads Japanese Man… For Islam?

I mean this is getting old. What other reason could there be for a group that calls itself, The Islamic State, to kill people? Is this a requirement of Islam, that you capture innocent people then murder them if you cannot receive a ransom? And if it is a requirement, is it in the Quran?

The father of the Japanese hostage purportedly killed by Islamic State (IS) militants is hoping his son could still be alive.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the video apparently showing the killing of 42-year-old adventurer Haruna Yukawa was likely authentic and demanded the militants release the other hostage, reporter Kenji Goto, 47.

But Mr Yukawa’s father Shoichi Yukawa said he was “hoping deep in my heart” his son was still alive.

“My mind went totally blank,” he told reporters on Sunday, a day after news broke of the video footage. “I am hoping deep in my heart that it is not true.”

IS, also known as ISIS or ISIL, had threatened to behead Mr Yukawa and Mr Goto unless it received a $200 million ransom.

“If I am ever reunited with him, I just want to give him a big hug,” Mr Yukawa told Japanese TV.

The Quitter From Alaska Wants To Be President… Like “Seriously!”

While dishing out soup the other day, Sarah Palin told a reporter that she is considering a run for the White House in 2016. On Friday, the Washington Post got Palin to say again that she really wants to be president…. like “seriously!”

“You can absolutely say that I am seriously interested,” Palin said, when asked to clarify her thinking about a possible presidential bid.

Palin, the GOP’s 2008 vice-presidential nominee, said she stood by comments she made Thursday in Las Vegas to ABC News, where she first expressed enthusiasm about potentially competing for the Republican presidential nomination.

“I am. As I said yesterday, I’m really interested in the opportunity to serve at some point,” Palin said Friday, as former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, a potential 2016 rival, looked on.

The Republican clown car is gassed up. The engine is revving as the last few clowns jump on board. Sarah don’t know where the White House is, but she wants to be president. Sarah’s next stop? ‘1400′ Pennsylvania Ave or somewhere in Philadelphia.

Darren Wilson Supporter – “Sharpton ought to go back into the gutter”

Since it was revealed that the Justice Department will not to bring any civil rights violation charge against Darren Wilson in the killing of Mike Brown, Wilson’s supporters are tripping over themselves trying to get in front of the cameras to sing his praises.

One of these people is Milwaukee County Sheriff and conservative commentator David Clarke. In Thursday’s episode of Fox & Friends, Clarke enthusiastically defended Wilson’s innocence while calling Eric Holder and Al Sharpton “race hustlers.”

“The grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri got it right,” Clarke concluded. “Officer Wilson has been exonerated. The thing I want to know is how does he get his reputation back?”

Clarke reserved much of his ire for Sharpton.

“I don’t expect anything intelligent to come out of the mouth of Al Sharpton,” Clarke said. “We know he is a charlatan. Al Sharpton ought to go back into the gutter he came from. The police officer is owed a lot from him, Eric Holder and the President of the United States.”

White House – Netanyahu “Spat in our face” and “There will be a price”

Republicans in charge of Congress have managed to further divide the country and its allies by planning a Congressional meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu without following protocol and coordinating the event with the White House. The meeting, set for March, has outraged the White House, causing one official saying the Israeli leader had “spat” in the face of Barack Obama.

“We thought we’ve seen everything,” the newspaper quoted an unnamed senior US official as saying. “But Bibi managed to surprise even us.

“There are things you simply don’t do. He spat in our face publicly and that’s no way to behave. Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price,” he said.

Officials in Washington said that the “chickenshit” epithet — with which an anonymous administration official branded Netanyahu several months ago — was mild compared to the language used in the White House when news of Netanyahu’s planned speech came in.

In his address the Israeli leader is expected to speak about stalled US-led nuclear negotiations with Iran, and to urge lawmakers to slap Tehran with a new round of tougher sanctions in order to force it to comply with international demands. The Mossad intelligence service on Thursday went to the rare length of issuing a press statement to deny claims, cited by Kerry, that its chief Tamir Pardo had told visiting US politicians that he opposed further sanctions.

Haaretz reported that Obama had personally demanded that Netanyahu tone down his pro-sanctions rhetoric in a phone call between the two last week. The president has said a sanctions bill would cripple negotiations with Iranian leaders at a critical stage, and has threatened to veto such a bill should it come through.

Mike Huckabee Still Pimping Beyonce for Popularity – Beyonce’s Friend Speaks Out – Video

Mike Huckabee went on The View and continued milking his exposure from his Beyoncé attacks. But this time, someone with personal knowledge of Beyoncé was there to defend her and call out the Republican.

Over the last few weeks, Huckabee has pimped Beyoncé’s popularity to further advance his own 2016 presidential ambition. He knew that any attack on the most popular entertainer in music would bring him much needed popularity, so Huckabee has homed in on Beyoncé as his only hope to the White House.

He has stated that Jay Z is “pimping” his wife and has gone “from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object.” And suggested that letting children listen to Beyoncé is the same thing as buying a 12-year-old girl a “stripper pole.”

But on The View yesterday, Beyoncé had a small voice and defender, as her friend Michelle Williams and former Destiny’s Child singer weighed in on Huckabee.

“I’m not the Carter spokesperson,” she said, “but to hear some of those comments that you said I thought were very, very, very low.”

Republican Explains – Minimum Wage is for “Minorities,” Unskilled People Worth $7 an Hour

He is a Republican Representative from California named, Tom McClintock. And in an interview with C-SPAN on Thursday, McClintock went there with his Republican ideology in public, saying that the minimum wage is for “minorities,” teenagers and other unskilled people no work experience. And those people do not deserve more than $7 an hour.

He was answering a question from the host who asked if he would support Mitt Romney in 2016 seeing that Romney has flipped and is now calling for a raise in the minimum wage. Yes folks, Romney is now pushing to raise the minimum wage! The New York Times reports that Romney is vowing a campaign to “end the scourge of poverty” if he runs for president a third time, has backed raising the minimum wage over the wishes of congressional leaders.

“It’s not supposed to support a family. The minimum wage is that first job when you have no skills, no experience, no working history. That’s how you get into the job market, that’s how you develop that experience, develop that work record, get your first raise, then your next raise, then your promotion.”

“If your labor is an unskilled person just entering the workforce is worth say $7 an hour at a job and the minimum wage is $10, you have just been made permanently unemployable,” McClintock says. “That first rung of the economic ladder has been ripped out and you can’t get on it. That is a tragedy.”

Report – Louie Gohmert Illegally Took Campaign Funds for Personal Use

I knew there was something about Gohmert that didn’t pass the mustard test. Besides being a Republican, it seems Gohmert might also a thief. The man allegedly stole campaign funds and used those funds to pay for a trip to England. Funds amounting to over $5400.00

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint after Gohmert’s campaign listed expenses for a trip to London in November and December.

The lawmaker’s campaign reported that it spent $5,451.39 at the five-star Andaz Liverpool Street hotel, $396.12 at the Old Bank Hotel in Oxford, and $234.54 for a taxi ride in Cambridgeshire.

Gohmert held speaking engagements while in England with the Cambridge Union Society, the Rothermere American Institute, the Federalist and Henry Jackson Societies, and a joint group from the U.K. House of Lords and House of Commons.

None of those events were related to campaign activities, CREW said in its complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics.

“Rep. Gohmert’s legendary tirades may put him in high demand for public speaking engagements, but that doesn’t give him license to bill a luxury London vacation to his campaign,” said Anne Weismann, CREW’s interim executive director. “The congressman can’t credibly claim that speeches made to those who can’t vote for him served the purpose of getting him reelected.”

No Conceal Carry Permit? No Problem in Kansas

Another victory for the NRA. Kansas lawmakers have introduced a bill that will make it legal for anyone to carry a concealed gun even if that person has no permit.

Just another way to get a gun into the hands of anyone who wants one. Criminals are all welcome.

Twenty-six of the Kansas Senate’s 40 members introduced a bill Wednesday to end the permitting requirement. The lead sponsor is Majority Leader and Nickerson Republican Terry Bruce.

Bruce said it makes sense to allow people to carry concealed guns without a permit because they already can carry firearms openly. He said the measure advances gun rights.

Lawmakers last year prohibited cities and counties from restricting the open carrying of firearms, though state law didn’t ban the practice. The state has issued concealed carry permits since 2007
