So Now Mitt Romney Wants The 47% Moochers To Get a Raise

Sidenote: It is becoming more and more apparent that Mitt Romney is attempting another run for the presidency in 2016. For those keeping count, 2016 would be his third run.

Remember the 47%? They are the ones who sank Romney battleship in the 2012 presidential election. Realizing his mistake, Romney is now trying to change his tone just in case 2016 is a go.

“I, for instance, as you know, part company with many of the conservatives in my party on the issue of the minimum wage. I think we ought to raise it,” he said. “Because frankly, our party is all about more jobs and better pay.”

The 47 percent were called moochers by Mitt Romney. According to the man who was the Republican’s choice for president in 2012, these 47% or moochers are those “who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.” 

Mitt Romney is also the man who bought businesses, fired the employees of those business, burden those businesses with debt and then liquidate those businesses, walking away with huge profits. It’s called being a venture capitalist and Mitt Romney the god of the vultures!

Sounds kind of crazy and disingenuious listening to him now talk about giving members of 47% a raise!

Weekly Address – First Lady Addresses Mothers and The Kidnapped Nigerian Girls

On this Mother’s Day weekend, First Lady Michelle Obama took the time to wish the mothers of the nation a Happy Mothers Day, and she spent some time talking about the unbelievable events unfolding in Nigeria, where over 200 young girls were kidnapped.

Hello everyone, I’m Michelle Obama, and on this Mother’s Day weekend, I want to take a moment to honor all the mothers out there and wish you a Happy Mother’s Day.

I also want to speak to you about an issue of great significance to me as a First Lady, and more importantly, as the mother of two young daughters.

Like millions of people across the globe, my husband and I are outraged and heartbroken over the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls from their school dormitory in the middle of the night.

This unconscionable act was committed by a terrorist group determined to keep these girls from getting an education – grown men attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls.

How to Waste Taxpayers Money – Republican Introduces Bill to Honor Yogurt

New York is an amazing place. We have the official State Flower, a State Tree and believe it or not, the state muffin. Yes, New York is truly an amazing place. So with all these official state wasters-of-time-and-money, why not introduce another bill to name the Yogurt the official State Snack?

The bill was introduced by Republican State Senator Michael Renzenhofer. Mr Renzenhofer, acting on behalf of a local fourth grade class introduced the bill in the yogurt legislation in the Senate this week. With all the questions and challenges to the bill, almost an hour was spent discussing yogurt as the official state snack!

It one point, and maybe realizing that he has successfully managed to waste the Senate’s time and the state’s money,

Our taxpayers money at work!

Jon Stewart summed it up lovely, and I’m sure the rest of the nation feels the same way when Senate Republicans in Washington waste the nation’s time and money on things like…. Benghazi! Stewart said, “the good people of a New York do not give a f*ck!”

In the end the bill passed 52-8 and moves on to the State’s assembly.

Pope Francis calls for The Redistribution of Wealth

Well he’s already hated on the right, and has been called all sorts of names like Marxist to socialist by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, and the rest of the cast over at Fox News.

But that is not stopping Pope Francis from continuing to preach about poverty. And in a message today, the Pope’s message was one of redistribution of wealth from the rich and greedy to the poor and needy.

Francis made the appeal during a speech to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the heads of major U.N. agencies who are meeting in Rome this week.

Latin America’s first pope has frequently lashed out at the injustices of capitalism and the global economic system that excludes so much of humanity.

On Friday, Francis called for the United Nations to promote a “worldwide ethical mobilization” of solidarity with the poor in a new spirit of generosity.

He said a more equal form of economic progress can be had through “the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the state, as well as indispensable cooperation between the private sector and civil society.”

Francis had a similar message to the World Economic Forum in January and in his apostolic exhortation “The Joy of the Gospel.” That document, which denounced trickle-down economic theories as unproven and naive, provoked criticism in the U.S. that he was Marxist.

Couple Caught Having Sex on Church Lawn

Some people go weddings and express their happiness for the couple with tears of joy. Others bring gifts to mark the special occasion. But for a 60-year-old woman and a 56-year-old man, engaging in sex acts on the church lawn was the way to go.

A Salt Lake City Police Department cop was summoned to Sacred Heart Catholic Church around 6 PM by a wedding guest who “ran into the road to stop” a passing police cruiser being driven by Officer Rich Stone.

Stone then approached Sandra Kruser and Wilson Benally, who were laying on the church lawn. “I walked over to the couple and I physically saw the sex act,” Stone reported. Specifically, the cop noted, Benally “had his tongue and finger inside of Ms. Krusen’s vagina.”

The Kruser-Benally tryst was viewed by, among others, “four children in the wedding party,” according to a police report.

When Stone confronted the couple, they initially ignored orders to stop having sex. Kruser and Benally–who were not invited to the nuptials–eventually had to be pried apart by Stone.

Seen in the above mug shots, Kruser and Benally were arrested for gross lewdness and public intoxication. Benally was also charged with criminal trespass. Kruser and Benally remain locked up in the Salt Lake County jail, where Kruser is being held in lieu of $2093 bond, while Benally will have to post $2313 to secure his release.

Republican Representative Brings a Joint to a Hearing – Video

John Mica

“I have this joint here,” he said. And with that announcement, the congressman,  Rep. John Mica (R-FL), waved the rolled Mary Jane in the air.

“This is… okay, don’t get too excited, some of you. This is not a real one. It’s a mock one,” he said.

The Congressman was discussing the penalties of marijuana possession when he displayed the Ganga. Asked by a fellow congressman if he rolled the weed all by himself, Mica replied that his staff helped. “They have more experience,” he said.

As far as I know, this was the first time Cannabis made its way on the House floor.

FBI Begins Investigation into Bundy Militia Gunmen

They came armed with pistols, rifles and machine guns and they paraded about town as if they were filming a scene for a movie about the Wild Wild West.

Their goal was simple – do whatever they had to do, including putting their women on the front lines so they could be killed when the shooting began – all to make sure Cliven Bundy continued breaking the law.

Well an investigation has begun, and these militia members could soon realize that this is not a movie about the Wild Wild West, but a land of rules and laws.

Las Vegas TV station KLAS reported Thursday that the FBI has begun interviewing Clark County sheriff’s officials in what the news station describes as a “formal investigation into alleged death threats, intimidation and possible weapons violations” on the part of the Bundy militia.

Sheriff Doug Gillespie confirmed to KLAS that FBI agents asked him whether he saw Bundy supporters point guns at metro police officers during last month’s showdown, but declined to share what he told the agents.

Federal authorities with the Bureau of Land Management ended their round-up of Bundy’s cattle on April 12 over safety concerns. Hundreds of protesters, some armed, had gathered at the site to support the rancher. Those militias continued to maintain an armed presence on roads around Bundy’s ranch well after the federal authorities withdrew.

Jada Pinkett Smith Defends 13-Year Old Daughter Being In Bed With Shirtless Man

The photo below was posted to 20-year-old actor, Moises Arias’ Tumblr and Instagram pages. The photo shows a shirtless Moises and 13-year-old Willow Smith in a bed together. Needless to say, a controversy erupted as the online world expressed their disapproval of the suggestive nature of the photo.

Everyone that is, except Willow’s mother Jada Pinkett-Smith. Reached today for comment, Jada couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about and insisted that the photo was nothing more than innocent.

“Here’s the deal,” she told the paparazzi via TMZ Wednesday at LAX Airport.

“There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation.”

“You guys are projecting your trash onto it,” she continued.

“You’re acting like covert pedophiles and that’s not cool.”

Oncoming Legal Fight, As Shelly Sterling Insist on Keeping Ownership of Clippers

Shelly Sterling and Donald Sterling

Donald Sterling may be banned for life from the NBA and the Clippers, but not his wife. Shelly Sterling has hired a lawyer and is planning a legal fight to keep her hold on the team.

According to ESPN.

Shelly Sterling has been a co-owner of the Clippers with her husband since 1981 and is one of two alternate governors. The other, team president Andy Roeser, began an indefinite leave of absence Tuesday. The team is owned by a family trust.

“Commissioner Silver made it clear, that when he announced sanctions against Donald, that the NBA was taking no action against me or my family,” Shelly Sterling said in a statement given to ESPN.

She has hired attorney Pierce O’Donnell to represent her interests as the league moves to terminate her husband’s ownership of the team.

“She will not agree to a forced or involuntary seizure of her interest,” O’Donnell said Thursday. “As her lawyers we will fight vigorously to defend her property rights.”

O’Donnell also told The Associated Press that Shelly Sterling has been separated from her husband for the past year and is considering divorce.

Fox News Cuts Away From Jobs Press Conference Because Benghazi Questions Not Being Asked – Video

Yes, you heard that right. A press conference on jobs – although it was held by Republicans so basically it was just a sham – couldn’t keep the attention of the “News” people at Fox. The network turned away from the press conference until “more interesting” Benghazi questions were asked.

These people are freakin’ insane!
