GOODBYE01.29.16 6:56 PM ET Head of Glenn Beck’s Media Empire Quits as The Blaze Burns Down Kraig Kitchin will stay with the company, but resigned from the top job after friction with fellow Beck executive Jonathan Schreiber.

Kitchin’s replacement, Stewart Padveen, a digital startup entrepreneur who joined Beck’s company last summer, will be the fourth leader of The Blaze since late 2014. Kitchin, 54, who took over ...

Chicago, IL – In a recent interview, 56-year-old Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon said that he uses marijuana to help him deal with the pain that he suffers from playing football for his entire life. Using marijuana has helped him to stop taking dangerous narcotic painkillers, which are known to have severe side effects and an extreme risk of addiction. As a result of multiple concussions and injuries, the former football star is left with debilitating pain, as well as early stage dementia. McMahon suffers from severe headaches, depression, memory loss, and vision and speech problems. While working with the NFL, athletes are many times treated by doctors who are commissioned by ...

Sitting back and observing the current civil war happening within the Republican party should come as no surprise to anyone who resides outside the beltway of Washington, D.C. Pundits, thinkers, writers, and radio hosts who I once admired, have now lost credibility as they have bestowed upon themselves the bastion of what is and isn’t “true conservatism”. Yet, while the civil war wages within the party, the party itself does a disservice to this nation for fighting the wrong battle at the wrong time as the war for the heart of this country wages on. To myself, this has always been the main issue in regards to the Republicans. For far too long they’ve fought for the soul ...
Trump, Fox, And The Civil War of the Right

The conservative movement is starting to look a lot like Syria. Baited, taunted, mocked by Fox News, Donald Trump told Roger Ailes what he could do with his Iowa debate, and marched off to host a Thursday night rally for veterans at the same time in Des Moines. Message: I speak for the silent majority, Roger, not you, not Megyn Kelly, not Fox News. Diss me, and I will do fine without Fox. And so the civil-sectarian war on the right widens and deepens. And two questions arise: Will the conservative movement and Republican Party unite behind Trump if he is the nominee? And will the movement and party come together if Trump is not the nominee? A breakdown of the balance of forces in this ...
Donald Trump Is Shocking, Vulgar and Right

About 15 years ago, I said something nasty on CNN about Donald Trump’s hair. I can’t now remember the context, assuming there was one. In any case, Trump saw it and left a message the next day. “It’s true you have better hair than I do,” Trump said matter-of-factly. “But I get more pussy than you do.” Click. At the time, I’d never met Trump and I remember feeling amused but also surprised he’d say something like that. Now the pattern seems entirely familiar. The message had all the hallmarks of a Trump attack: shocking, vulgar and indisputably true. Not everyone finds it funny. On my street in Northwest Washington, D.C., there’s never ...
Fox News’s Rupert Murdoch Endorsed Obamatrade

Donald Trump’s decision not to participate in the Fox News debate has shined a spotlight on the advocacy efforts and undisclosed conflict of interests of the news network’s founder, Rupert Murdoch. These advocacy efforts may perhaps explain some of the motivations underlying the network’s treatment of the GOP frontrunner. As Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski explained in a Wednesday morning radio interview, there were suspicions that Trump would not be “treated fairly” by the network and would not be given “a fair show in the debate.” Lewandowski cited Fox’s recent actions—such as the network’s release of “a series of ...

From the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...705f0c-c11e-11e5-bcda-62a36b394160_story.html Anger over the levels of lead in the water in Flint has led the mayor to declare a state of emergency. By Lenny Bernstein and Brady Dennis January 24 at 11:00 AM The scale of government neglect in the water crisis in Flint, Mich., could place the city alongside some of the most infamous environmental disasters in U.S. history, from New York’s Love Canal to the Hinkley, Calif., saga of Erin Brockovich fame. The debacle ranks among the worst on numbers alone, said Paul Mohai, who studies environmental-justice issues at the University of Michigan. With a community of 100,000 ...
Shaq, Florida cops surprise kids with a basketball match

When Florida police officer Bobby White played street basketball with a group of neighborhood kids this month, he promised he’d return to shoot more hoops. He showed up for a rematch Saturday, this time with a full-court press. It included fellow officers and one especially large backup: 7-foot-1 Shaquille O’Neal of NBA fame. White, a Gainesville Police Department officer, gained popularity when a video emerged showing his response to a noise complaint about youth playing basketball “too loudly.” In the police dashcam video posted online Thursday and watched 14 million times, White is seen pulling up at the neighborhood to address the noise complaint. Scene of no-crime ...
Why Robots Mean Interest Rates Could Go Even Lower In The Future
Post Date: 2016-01-24 22:56:08 by A K A Stone

If robots rise, interest rates will fall. That was the assumption of delegates at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, as revolutions in automation and artificial intelligence reshape how economies work. The argument goes like this: As machines become more and more advanced, many workers will lose their jobs and others will see their wages fall. New technology will also increase the chances of a 1990s-style jump in productivity. Those forces will combine to restrain prices across the world economy, meaning that the era of slow inflation now challenging central bankers may only prove a sign of things to come. “Technological progress will put a lid on how ...
Hillary’s team copied intel off top-secret server to email

The FBI is investigating whether members of Hillary Clinton’s inner circle “cut and pasted” material from the government’s classified network so that it could be sent to her private e-mail address, former State Department security officials say. Clinton and her top aides had access to a Pentagon-run classified network that goes up to the Secret level, as well as a separate system used for Top Secret communications. The two systems — the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) and Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) — are not connected to the unclassified system, known as the Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network ...
From Household to Nation: The Middle American Populism of Pat Buchanan

If there was any major difference between the presidential campaign of Pat Buchanan in 1995 and his first run at the Republican nomination in 1992, it was the relative calm with which his enemies greeted the announcement of his second candidacy and his rapid move last year to the forefront of the Republican field. Rabbi Avi Weiss and his goon platoons still found time and someone else's money to dog Buchanan's steps from New Hampshire to California, and occasionally some other hired thug, usually a failed neoconservative politician, would emerge from the political graveyard to moan about Buchanan's “fascism,” his “nativism,” or his “racism.” But in ...

It's a pretty sad day when Joy Reid of MSNBC makes more sense to me than National Review. Check out her diagnosis (which mostly comes from moderate Republican turned liberalish independent Bruce Bartlett) at 6:45. It's accurate -- the establishment/elite has been selling lies to everyone outside the donor class for years. They use their power to enact their own priorities into law, while telling the rest of us "it's too hard" or "it will scare the moderates." And for years we went along with this. Well, as she notes, the issue of immigration has caused this bargain -- the elites get their actual agenda, everyone else gets lies and empty promises -- to ...
The Simpsons Predicted a Trump Presidency 15 Years Ago

In a lot of ways, The Simpsons is one of the most forward-thinking programs on television. Case in point: Fifteen years ago, its writers predicted Donald Trump would run for president. And here we are. In Season 11's 17th episode, "Bart to the Future," we catch a glimpse of what it would be like if Lisa eventually became president. After her first press conference, she retires to the Oval Office, where she opens a meeting by saying, "As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump." You can see the rest of the hilarity (Bart gets tackled by the Secret Service) in the clip above.
Hillary's Saps

Charles McCullough, the Inspector General of the US Intelligence Community, has informed Congress that Hillary Clinton had "several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the IC element to be at the confidential, secret, and top secret/sap levels" on that private homebrew server she kept in some guy's bathroom closet in Colorado. "Sap" stands for "special access program" and is the level above "top secret" - or, in laymen's terms, super-duper extra-top secret. It's generally accepted that much of that "sap" material made its way from Hillary's inbox to hostile intelligence agencies around the world. Had ...
Don’t Let Chis Christie’s Tough Guy Act Fool You—He’s Terrible On Immigration And Protecting American Workers

His girth aside, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has rarely registered a blip on the 2016 campaign’s radar. The Real Clear Politics poll average currently finds him in 6th place with 3.5%. Unlike in the cases of Walker, Bush, Fiorina, Carson, Rubio, and Cruz, the Republican Establishment and the Main Stream Media has never pretended he was surging and about to take Trump out. In fact, he’s never broken 5% in the polls. Despite this, George Will (or his intern) recently suggested that Christie may very well be at “the center of the stage at the Cleveland convention.” [Keep an eye on Chris Christie, Washington Post, January 15, 2016]. Unlikely—but Christie could ...
Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump, Which Could Bolster Him in Iowa

AMES, Iowa — Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential nominee who became a Tea Party sensation and a favorite of grass-roots conservatives, endorsed Donald J. Trump in Iowa on Tuesday, providing him with a potentially significant boost just 13 days before the state’s caucuses. “Are you ready for the leader to make America great again?” Mrs. Palin said with Mr. Trump by her side at a rally at Iowa State University. “Are you ready to stump for Trump? I’m here to support the next president of the United States — Donald Trump.” Her support is the highest-profile backing for a Republican so far. It came the same day that ...
How Montana Road Fatalities Doubled After Speed Limit Law Was Implemented

This is an obvious call to action. Something must be done. We need more laws, more money for enforcement and more citations written – Speed Kills! Not so fast says a follow up study just completed by National Motorists Association. The study shows the safest period on Montana’s Interstate highways was when there were no daytime speed limits or enforceable speed laws. The doubling of fatal accidents occurred after Montana implemented its new safety program; complete with federal funding, artificially low speed limits and full enforcement. Yes we all want safer highways, but who are the players and whom can we believe? How can fatal accidents double after we put in place our ...
