French Teacher Stabs Himself then Said ISIS Sympathizer Stabbed Him

Thank God he wasn’t in America. With his crazy mindset, he could have easily picked up a gun at your friendly neighborhood gun store and committed another episode of mass murder.

The teacher said he had been attacked while alone in a classroom in Aubervilliers, a suburb of Paris.

But prosecutors said he had wounded himself with a box cutter and was now being questioned as to why he lied.

France remains on high alert following the terror attacks in Paris on 13 November that left 130 people dead.

The 45-year-old teacher – who has not been named – has been treated in hospital for superficial wounds to his side and neck.

According to his account, a man had attacked him with a box cutter at about 07:10 (06:10 GMT) on Monday and had shouted: “This is for Daesh [Islamic State]. It’s a warning”.

Congress Finally Approves Bill to Help 9/11 Responders

Thanks in part to the likes of Jon Stewart who, after his retirement from The Daily Show, made it his personal duty to fight the Republicans that blocked progress on the Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act,

Over 14 years after terrorists hijacked planes to strike the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, lawmakers on Capitol Hill cut a deal Tuesday to provide effectively permanent health care for the thousands of Americans who are now sick and dying because they came forward to help that day.

After remarkably difficult negotiations that prompted critics to create a #WorstResponders hashtag for Congress, legislators finally agreed to an $8.1 billion reauthorization of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, and attached it to the massive omnibus spending bill that will have to pass in order to fund the government.

The spending bill was expected to be posted online imminently Tuesday night, said a senior Republican aide who confirmed the 9/11 bill is included.

“This agreement is incredible news for our 9/11 heroes and their families, and it is a testament to the extraordinary power that Americans can have when they raise their voice and demand action,“ said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).

Before We Invaded Iraq, Bernie Sanders Said This… – Video

Way before George Bush took his eye off the ball in Afghanistan and decided to invade Iraq in what eventually drained this nation of thousands of troop lives and over a trillion dollars, Senator Bernie Sanders warned of the dangers of invading Iraq.

Too bad Bush didn’t listen.

Donald Trump Hits Megyn Kelly Right on Time for Debate Night

And the media gets played again like a pawn falling even further into Trump’s trap and generating even more talk-time for the Republican front-runner. All Trump had to do? Say something stupid or say something stupid about someone. In this case, and on the same day as the last Republican debate for 2015, Trump resorted back to dump on Megyn Kelly of Fox News.

Obama’s Message to ISIS Leaders – “You’re Next” – Video

ARLINGTON, VA - JULY 6: (AFP OUT) U.S. President Barack Obama delivers remarks after meeting with members of his national security team concerning ISIS at the Pentagon July 6, 2015 in Arlington, Virginia.

Maybe because of all the noise we’ve heard from the Republican presidential candidates lately, that President Obama is “doing nothing about ISIS” and “Obama has no plan” for ISIS, that caused the President to hold this brief press conference, reminding Americans and the world of all the successes the US led coalition against ISIS is having.

Surrounded by some of his top generals, the President outlined a few of the things his administration and coalition forces have done, including the nearly 9,000 bombs dropped on ISIS targets as of December 14th, and the taking out of ISIS leaders, “one by one.”

The President stressed the point that “ISIL cannot hide,” saying that “our message to their leaders is, ‘you’re next.'”

Jeb Bush – “Hillary Clinton would Clean” Donald Trump – Really Jeb? “Clean?”

Jeb Bush opened his mouth again and again, another awkward statement jumped out!

In another recent interview, Jeb talked about why he should win the nomination and not Donald Trump. And according to the JebCanFixIt man, a Hillary Clinton / Donald Trump match-up would result in Hillary cleaning Donald.

“I cannot imagine Donald Trump becoming president because he would never win. He would never win, Hillary Clinton would clean him.”

Now, maybe I’m reading too much into this statement. Maybe this is just an innocent proclamation by the Republican presidential wannabe, or maybe like his brother George, Jeb just cannot control the things that come out of his mouth. But whatever the reason, the last think I need in my brain is a visual of Hillary cleaning Donald.

I’m having lunch for crying out loud!

Kim Kardashian Reveals Her Plan to Eat Her Placenta

Well, apparently this is a thing, and this consumption will not be her first!

Ummm, okaaaay!

The 35-year-old mother-of-two opened up on her app about the placenta-eating process and why she decided to do it.

“So, I’m really not this holistic person or someone who would have ever considered eating my placenta. I actually thought Kourtney would have soooo done this, but I don’t think she did,” Kim wrote, although Kourtney Kardashian did decide toconsume her placenta as well. “And when I say ‘eat my placenta,’ I mean that I’m having it freeze-dried and made into a pill form—not actually fry it like a steak and eat it (which some people do, BTW).”

But this won’t be the first time she’s consumed her own placenta. Kim did the same thing after giving birth to North West in order to help prevent any postpartum depression.

“I heard so many stories when I was pregnant with North of moms who never ate their placenta with their first baby and then had postpartum depression,” she explained. “But then when they took the pills with their second baby, they did not suffer from depression! So I thought, why not try it? What do I have to lose?

She continues, “I really didn’t want the baby blues and thought I can’t go wrong with taking a pill made of my own hormones—made by me, for me. I started researching and read about so many moms who felt this same way and said the overall healing process was so much easier.”

Bill Cosby Fights Back – Files Lawsuit Against His Accusers

In this photo taken Nov. 6, 2014, entertainer Bill Cosby pauses during an interview about the upcoming exhibit, Conversations: African and African-American Artworks in Dialogue, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art in Washington. The Smithsonian Institution is mounting a major showcase of African-American art and African art together in a new exhibit featuring the extensive art collection of Bill and Camille Cosby. More than 60 rarely seen African-American artworks from the Cosby collection will join 100 pieces of African art at the National Museum of African Art. The exhibit “Conversations: African and African American Artworks in Dialogue,” opens Sunday and will be on view through early 2016. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

Apparently, Bill Cosby will not go quietly into the night. The disgraced actor is fighting back by filing a lawsuit against his accusers claiming they have damaged him.

Cosby just countersued the women, claiming they have made “malicious, opportunistic, false and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against him.”

The comedian is claiming emotional distress against Tamara Green, Therese Serignese, Linda Traitz, Louisa Moritz, Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis and Angela Leslie … claiming the allegations of drugging and then sexually assaulting them is flatly untrue.

Cosby claims the motivation of the women was to torpedo his television return. Cosby had signed with NBC to star in a new family comedy series, and he says when the women got wind of it they trumped up phony allegations. He also says they’re just in it for the money.

New Scientific Research Gives Jesus a New Look – PIC

Boy oh boy. Some… no, most people wouldn’t appreciate this new scientific depiction of what Jesus might have looked like when he walked on earth. For most of the world inhabitants, Jesus is a lily-white man with long straight hair. But based on Biblical texts, where he was born and other researched data for that time, Scientists have come up with a more geographically accurate look.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, the Romans who arrested Jesus needed Judas Iscariot’s help to identify him because he looked like his disciples. Jesus is never described in the Bible, nor can scientists use his remains to recreate his appearance using DNA.

However, using contextual clues from the Bible and historical data, Richard Neave, a medical artist retired from The University of Manchester in England, was able to help illustrate what Jesus might have looked like, Popular Mechanics reported.

“It is clear that his features were typical of Galilean Semites of his era,” the report reads.

Neave and his team acquired Semite skulls from the area in and around Jerusalem with cooperation from Israeli archeologists. He then used a computer to give details on the skulls’ structure and how tissue would have sat on top of the bone. Using these data, Neave and his team built a 3D model of the face and cast it in clay.

Though some details like eye color and hair length are impossible to determine, researchers used pre-Biblical illustrations of Jesus to determine that he most likely had dark eyes, and tradition at the time usually dictated that men had short hair. During Jesus’ time, the average man was 5-foot-1 and weighed 110 pounds.

Conservatives Prefer a Horse, Not Serena Williams for “Sportsperson of the Year” Award

Serena Williams is upsetting a bunch of Republicans and Conservatives because Sports Illustrated crowned her “Sportsperson of the Year.”

Why are they mad? Because they wanted a horse to win instead. You heard right. Conservatives preferred a horse named “American Pharoah” to win “Sportsperson of the Year.”

You can’t make this stuff up!

American Pharoah won a readers’ poll for the honor, but Sports Illustrated chose instead to crown Williams, who posed on the cover draped over a golden throne.

“She was the most deserving person for the award. She had an amazing year. The way she won her events; the fact that she’s done this for so many years at such a high level,” said Paul Fichtenbaum — editor of the Sports Illustrated Group — to USA Today. “She was a terrific candidate in a year of terrific candidates.”

Not everyone was pleased with the choice, however.

Columnist Brian Zipse at HorseRacingNation.com was outraged that the horse was “denied” the title.

“But…American Pharoah won the Grand Slam, and Serena Williams did not,” Zipse fumed. “Once again, Thoroughbred horse racing has been denied by mainstream sports media.”

“Sports Illustrated, your agenda is showing,” he said.

Police Shooting – Black Man Shot Dead while Walking Away from Police – Video

Eye witnesses say the man, a 28-year-old, was walking with a gun and “shooting rounds into the air.” Police say their commands for the man to drop the gun were ignored, so they fired multiple rounds at the man as he walked then crawled away from them, killing him.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the shooting happened around 11 a.m. outside of an Arco gas station near Long Beach Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue.

Deputies from the Century Station responded to the area after receiving multiple calls about a man in a checkered shirt with a gun and shots being fired.

An eyewitness who asked to remain anonymous captured video of the gunfire and said the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Nick Robertson, was shooting in the air and did not want to comply with commands.

Deputies at the scene said they yelled multiple commands at the suspect to drop the gun, but ended up opening fire when he didn’t listen.

In the video, Robertson is seen walking away from officers and then several rounds are fired. He is seen injured, crawling on the ground. Deputies fire several more shots until he stops moving.

Other witnesses at the scene told authorities they saw the suspect turn and point the gun at the deputies prior to the shooting.

“The video is just one piece of evidence that’s going to be examined as part of a comprehensive, long investigation and that’ll be analyzed against the physical evidence, the witness statements and the deputies’ statements,” LASD Lt. Eddie Hernandez said.
