You just know this was going to happen. The hosts at Fox News were able to find the humor in the Ray Rice situation, where Rice was videotaped punching and knocking out his then fiancée in an elevator. You know if anyone can mock and make a joke about this situation and domestic abuse, it’s the good old folks over at Fox!
Responding to the video, Fox host Brian Kilmeade on Monday blasted the victims of domestic violence, criticizing Palmer (now Janay Rice) and other women who don’t break up with their partner after a domestic violence incident, saying they send a “terrible message.”
Kilmeade then proceeded to provide mocking advice to Palmer, quipping, “I think the message is, take the stairs.” Co-host Steve Doocey gamely joined in, “The message is, when you’re in an elevator, there’s a camera.”
This was the incident between NFL player Ray Rice and his then fiancée that got Kenny Smith suspended from ESPN. Remember when Smith said that sometimes women can do things to avoid getting beaten?
Well, this is the full video showing Rice’s fiancée failing miserably at avoiding the knockout punch.
The video, optained by TMZ, shows Rice and his fiancée (they’re now married) arguing outside the elevator. They then got on the elevator and that is when Rice Punched her one time, knocking her to the floor. The elevator then opened, allowing Rice to drag her limp body halfway outside.
For all his troubles, Rice only received a two game suspension from the NFL.
The New York Daily News checked the status of the daughters of former Republican president George W. Bush and found that their party registration do not say “Republican.”
Jenna, who registered in New York soon after her daughter was born is registered with the Independence Party and her twin sister is registered in Texas as an Independent.
The News reports that Jenna’s registration was actually a mistake, that her intention was to register as an independent, but signed up for the Independence Party instead. According to a spokesperson for Jenna Bush, the mistake was due to “very little sleep. ”
“Jenna registered to vote in New York soon after her daughter was born, and like all new moms, she was functioning on very little sleep. She mistakenly registered for the Independence Party,” said Megan Kopf Stackhouse, a spokeswoman for the former President’s daughter.
Don’t worry ladies, I know that being a Republican these days is not what it used to be. And I actually commend you both for realizing that fact and choosing not to be affiliated with the party your father once led.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s better to mistakenly be a member of the Independence Party than to intentionally be a Republican.
The New York Times is reporting that the Obama administration is preparing to carry out a phased campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria that may take three years to eventually destroy the terrorist army — requiring a sustained effort that could last until after President Obama has left office, according to senior administration officials.
The first phase, an air campaign with nearly 145 airstrikes in the past month, is already underway to protect ethnic and religious minorities and American diplomatic, intelligence and military personnel, and their facilities, as well as to begin rolling back ISIS gains in northern and western Iraq.
The next phase, which would begin sometime after Iraq forms a more inclusive government, scheduled this week, is expected to involve an intensified effort to train, advise or equip the Iraqi military, Kurdish fighters and possibly members of Sunni tribes.
The final, toughest and most politically controversial phase of the operation — destroying ISIS in its sanctuary inside Syria — might not be completed until the next administration. Indeed, some Pentagon planners envision a military campaign lasting at least 36 months.
Mr. Obama will use a speech to the nation on Wednesday to make his case for launching a United States-led offensive against Sunni militants gaining ground in the Middle East, seeking to rally support for a broad military mission while reassuring the public he is not plunging American forces into another Iraq war.
A disgusting and sickening display of human morality in the gutters. These teens took – what has so far been an admirable movement – and degraded it to a despicable act.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has raised millions of dollars for ALS research. The challenge involves a nominee dumping a bucket of ice water on their head, donating a certain amount to ALS and then nominating others to take the challenge.
In Ohio, a teen was nominated for the ice bucket challenge but instead got a rude awakening. After accepting the challenge and making his own nominations, the unsuspecting teen got a bucket of urine and feces dumped on his head. The teen was unaware of the sick joke his so-called “friends” were playing on him and the entire event was video taped and posted in Instagram.
Ohio’s Bay Ridge police are investigating. Charges could be filed.
In an exclusive interview with Yahoo, US Senator Elizabeth Warren joined the ranks of Vice President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, calling for the ultimate destruction of ISIS – the murderous gang in Iraq and Syria, happily murdering innocent people in the name of… Islam!
In Wednesday’s Yahoo News interview, Warren went further than President Barack Obama on the question of how to deal with the barbaric terrorist organization known as ISIL or ISIS. Obama has largely pursued a strategy of containment; Warren, in contrast, argued that America needs to “close ISIS down. To end ISIS. To eliminate ISIS.”
After Mike Brown was murdered by a Ferguson police officer, his dead body stayed in the street where he was shot down for over 4 hours. His killer was then whisked away to a secret location with round the clock security, his identity kept under wraps and protected for days while the people of Ferguson protested in the street.
The killer, as far as we can tell, is still receiving a paycheck from the Ferguson police department.
But while the dead, cold body of Mike Brown laid in the street like roadkill, the Ferguson Police department led by their Chief was already trying to come up with ways to tarnish Mike Brown, as if he was responsible for his killer pumping multiple shots into his body as he tried to run away. One of the ways they tried doing this was to release a video of an alleged Mike Brown robbing a convenience store. No one knew why this video was released, especially since the video had nothing to do with Mike Brown’s slaughter.
The police chief however, tried explaining why he released the video.
Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said, that there were multiple request for the video. “We got a lot of Freedom of Information requests for this tape,” Chief Jackson said, “and at some point, it was just determined we had to release it.”
The Post-Dispatch filed a public records request the day the video was released, requesting all the written requests for records that the city had received.
The records, which were provided to the newspaper 11 days later, showed that no organization had specifically requested before Aug. 15 a video of Michael Brown robbing a convenience store.
But requests from the Post-Dispatch and the organization Judicial Watch sought all documents related to Brown leading up to and including the shooting. A third request from ABC News asked for any video and audio records associated with Brown’s death.
The Post-Dispatch reporter who made one of those requests, Joel Currier, said he had heard rumors prior to Aug. 15 that Brown had committed a robbery just before he was killed. But Currier had no indication the alleged robbery was captured on video.
In conclusion, the killer is still being protected. He has not given his version of what happened the day he murdered Mike Brown. No incident report, but given all the time in the world to come up with a defense if the case even goes to court! But while they go out of their way to protect the killer, the Ferguson police, led by their trusted Chief, LIED. They’re doing all they can to release information about the victim, information that no one requested.
If you’re one of the unfortunate few that listened to the Republicans and conservative media 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you’ll be scratching your head wondering why Obamacare is working. And you’ll be wondering why the prices haven’t skyrocketed, crashing the economy and bringing the nation to its knees. And for some of you walking around with no insurance because you drank the Republican Kool-aid about Obamacare, you are probably scratching your head and kicking yourself now.
Well, don’t kick too hard. Remember, you have no insurance.
For the other millions who were smart enough to buy into Obamacare, here’s more good news. Rates are falling more than was anticipated.
A new report from the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that in seven major cities that have released data on 2015 premiums, the price of the benchmark Obamacare plan — the second-cheapest silver plan, which the federal government uses to calculate subsidies — is falling.
Yes, falling.
“Falling” is not a word that people associate with health-insurance premiums. They tend to rise as regularly as the morning sun. And, to be fair, the Kaiser Family Foundation is only looking at 16 cities in 15 states and the District of Columbia, and the drop they record is, on average, a modest 0.8 percent (though this is the same methodology they used in 2014, and to good results). But this data, though preliminary, is the best data we have — and it shows that Obamacare is doing a better job holding down costs than anyone seriously predicted, including Kaiser’s researchers.
“I expected premium growth to be modest in most of the country,” Larry Levitt, a co-author of the report, told Vox’s Sarah Kliff. “But what we saw were some decreases instead.”
The data shows McCain to be the most frequent guest on sunday morning talk shows. The data did not show him to be the most popular.
Below is a list of gusts that has appeared on sunday morning talk shows since 2009. I already told you senator John McCain of Arizona was the most frequent guest. Guess who was the number 2? Senator Lindsey Graham. McCain right hand man.
Since the beginning of 2009, more than 1,500 people have appeared on five Sunday news and political talk shows: “Meet the Press,” “Face the Nation,” “This Week,” “Fox News Sunday” and “State of the Union.”
Many are familiar faces in Washington, where lawmakers, consultants and pundits routinely sound off on the week’s news, while others come from the worlds of entertainment and sports.
Researchers at American University have collected more than 9,000 appearances. Below is a listing of those guests, excluding network employees or contracted regular guests.
This is the dramatic moment firemen rescued a toddler from a sweltering car after his mom left him to run an errand.
Cellphone footage shows firefighters popping the baking vehicle’s lock and lifting out the crying little boy as sweat drips from his forehead. They then strip off his clothes before rushing him into an ambulance for treatment.
The incident occurred Monday afternoon outside the Fallas Shopping Center in San Jose, California, as temperatures soared to 92 degrees.
Fire crews were called after passersby spotted the infant alone. It’s believed he had been inside the vehicle for between 5 and 10 minutes.
His mom, who has not been named, was questioned by cops on her return to the car. She claimed she and a second child had “just run into a store for a minute.” The boy was rushed to a local hospital for immediate treatment.
But San Jose Police Department said she could now face child neglect charges, reports KTVU-TV.
A couple of weeks ago, Suge Knight was shot six times at a party. He was rushed to the hospital and is now, for the first time, talking about the shooting, a shooting he really doesn’t care about.
“Even if I did, I don’t think that’s really important — who pulled the trigger and who I seen pull the trigger. I’m doing extremely well. I’m happy to be doing well. Whatever happens, happens.”
Knight was one of three people injured in the shooting, which took place at a pre-VMA party hosted by Chris Brown at the 10ak nightclub; the other two victims are expected to survive as well. Despite being hit in the stomach and the arm, Knight was able to walk out of the club on his own.
“One thing my father always taught me, no matter what it is, you never give up, you never quit if you start something,” Knight said. “When you walk in a place, you walk in one way and no matter what goes on, you leave the same — as a man. I was shot, and I wanted to make sure I got to the right place to patch some of these holes up.”
Knight went on to claim, with a laugh, that he didn’t feel a thing when he was hit, and added that he’s already focused on the future and what he can learn from the incident. “There’s gonna be some times where you might get in a few bar fights; there’s gonna be some times where you might get a few shots. But if you’re able to survive those shots, you’re supposed to make yourself stronger and be more positive, more aggressive with the people you want to deal with. And that’s the page I’m really on.”
