Photo Credit: Chris Quintero / My Fox Austin ScreenshotMembers of the University of Texas-Austin community are outraged that cops arrested an unnamed jogger who ignored police orders because she was wearing earbuds and couldn’t hear them.

The arrest happened at an intersection near the UT campus. Cops had been camped out at the intersection, issuing dozens of citations to people for jaywalking.

They planned to ticket a jogging woman, and ordered her to stop. But she was wearing earbuds and couldn’t hear them.

The officers chased the woman down and grabbed her arm from behind. Not knowing what was happening, the woman pulled away from the officer. This meant that she was resisting, and the woman soon found herself sitting on the ground in handcuffs.

School District: Disgusting Masturbation Book NOT Being Taught to Fourth Graders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Web screenshot edited versionA Tennessee school district was accused of assigning a sexually graphic textbook to fourth graders and teaching them to masturbate, but district officials say there is no truth to the rumor.

The claim was made by Victoria Jackson, a conservative stand-up comedian and independent candidate for county commissioner in Williamson County, Tennessee. According to Jackson’s blog, Williamson County schools were using the book “It’s Perfectly Normal,” as part of the official curriculum for fourth graders.

It’s easy to see why inclusion of the book in the fourth grade curriculum would be offensive to many people: The book features dozens of illustrations of naked people in sexual positions. One chapter teaches kids how to masturbate — and depicts naked cartoon characters giving visual demonstrations. Another discusses the proper technique for putting a condom on a penis using detailed pictures.

By WND.

WARNING: The following article includes explicit content.

Hundreds of elementary and middle-school students touring the campus of the University of California at Berkeley received a startling “education” when they witnessed some of the vulgar displays associated with the university’s observance of National Condom Week.

UC President Janet Napolitano, the former Department of Homeland Security secretary, also was on campus Feb. 13 as a man dressed in giant penis costume walked around handing out condoms.

Also on display last week, the College Fix reported, were an assortment of “sex-themed activities such as a vagina-anus condom toss, a vulva and anus ‘pin the tail’ and a condom water-balloon game.”

An undergraduate student at the university told the College Fix that events also included an “insertive condom fisting activity to show how stretchy these sexy condoms can be.”

“There were kids walking by and looking and being confused,” UC Berkeley student Claire Chiara said. “It’s just really inappropriate.”

‘McCarthyite’: Cruz Applauds Hollywood’s Secret Conservative Group’s Refusal to Give IRS Names of Its Members

/8 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Hollywood Reporter The group rightly refused a request from the IRS to reveal the names of its members, says the Republican senator from Texas; “FOA should respond to the IRS as it would to any McCarthyite request for information.”

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz will visit Hollywood’s not-so-secret group of conservatives called Friends of Abe next month, and he tells The Hollywood Reporter he will address what he considers is a government effort to intimidate artists who criticize President Barack Obama and his policies.

FOA, a group of about 2,000 entertainment industry workers, likes to remain under the radar. But The New York Times on Jan. 22 revealed the group’s two-year-long effort to be recognized as a tax-free charity organization. One thing the IRS has wanted from FOA is its membership list, and Cruz says the group has been right to refuse such a request, which he says stems from “an abuse of power.”

“FOA should respond to the IRS as it would to any McCarthyite request for information,” Cruz says in an interview. “The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that Americans have freedom of association and that groups should not be forced to reveal the names of members, because that information could be abused for political gain. There has already been an incident where the IRS leaked that kind of information about a group.”

Cruz says the IRS’ treatment of FOA is part of a pattern that includes the arrests of Dinesh D’Souza, who made 2016: Obama’s America, and Nakoula Nakoula, whose video, Innocence of Muslims, was blamed for causing the riots in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead. After the Benghazi attack, Nakoula spent several months in prison on charges unrelated to the video. And D’Souza, who is expected to release his next film, America, on July 4, is accused of violating campaign finance laws by raising more money than he should have for a friend who sought a U.S. Senate seat in New York.

Former CIA Official Accused of Misleading Lawmakers on Benghazi

/7 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Fox NewsFormer CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell is facing accusations from Republicans that he misled lawmakers about the Obama administration’s role in crafting the bogus storyline that a protest gone awry was to blame for the deadly Benghazi attack.

Among other discrepancies, Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee allege Morell insisted the talking points were sent to the White House for informational purposes, and not for their input — but emails, later released by the administration, showed otherwise.

“We found that there was actual coordination which could influence then — and did influence — what CIA conveyed to the committees about what happened [in Benghazi],” Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., told Fox News.

Burr was one of six Republicans who leveled the allegations against Morell, who also served as acting director, in an addendum to a recently released Senate Intelligence Committee report. According to the claims, in late 2012, Morell testified the so-called Benghazi talking points were sent to the White House “for their awareness, not for their coordination.”

The 16-page addendum continues, “No effort was made to correct the record … the Acting Director’s (Morell) testimony perpetuated the myth that the White House played no part in the drafting or editing of the talking points.”

Obama on Keystone Pipeline: ‘We Only Have One Planet’ (+video)

/6 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: AP Photo/Jacquelyn MartinPresident Obama conceded Wednesday that the lengthy process of evaluating whether to move ahead with the Keystone XL oil pipeline was probably viewed by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper as “a little too laborious” but added that economic growth had to be balanced against environmental concerns, as “we only have one planet.”

In a speech last June Obama said that he would not approve the pipeline from Canada if the project would “significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution.”

During a joint press conference with Harper – a strong supporter of Keystone – and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, a Canadian reporter recalled those words and noted that a State Department environmental review has found that the pipeline would not have a significant effect on climate change.

What more needed to be done, the reporter asked.

Ukraine on Edge after Deadly Clashes Between Protesters, Security Forces (+video)

By early Friday morning, the lone positive point was that — for the time being — Ukraine’s cycle of political and physical infighting was not then at its bloodiest point, as it had hours earlier. Prodded by foreign diplomats, the key players were then talking about not just a bandage for the violence but also a more long-term political solution and maybe the beginnings of healing.

Yet the facts of the last three months and, particularly, the last week show that it’s way too early to celebrate or savor any peace. There have been two truces since Sunday. Each of them collapsed suddenly into carnage centered in Kiev’s Maidan, or Independence Square.

The latest bloodshed was also the worst since the unrest began.

CNN crews at the scene reported that as security forces were moving away from the area after the latest truce, a group of protesters pursued them throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails.

Dead for 45 Minutes, Man Shares His Story with Megyn Kelly About What He Saw (+video)

More specifically, according to a Fox News interview, God sent Miller’s deceased father-in-law and mother-in-law to deliver a message to him that it wasn’t his time and ushered him back into life.

As Miller suffered the initial heart attack, his ICU nurse, Emily Bishop, said, “His heart is just quivering in there. It’s not able to pump. It’s not doing anything.”

Speaking later of his miraculous revival, Bishop added, “He had no heart rate. He had no blood pressure. He had no pulse, his brain had no oxygen for 45 minutes. So, the fact that he is up walking, talking, laughing and everything—I mean, that’s amazing.”

North Dakota No. 1 in Well-Being, West Virginia Still Last

/0 Comments/in , /by

North Dakota residents had the highest well-being in the nation in 2013, according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. South Dakota trailed its northern neighbor in second place, with its highest score in six years of measurement. Hawaii held the top spot for the previous four years, but fell slightly last year. West Virginia and Kentucky had the two lowest well-being scores, for the fifth year in a row.

North Dakota rejoined the top 10 well-being states in 2013 after being among that group from 2009 to 2011. South Dakota was among the top 10 in well-being for the first time since 2010, while Washington last appeared in 2008.

hese state-level data are based on more than 178,000 interviews with American adults across all 50 states, conducted from January-December 2013. Gallup and Healthways started tracking state-level well-being in 2008. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index score for the nation and for each state is an average of six sub-indexes, which individually examine life evaluation, emotional health, work environment, physical health, healthy behaviors, and access to basic necessities.

The Well-Being Index is calculated on a scale of 0 to 100, where a score of 100 represents ideal well-being. Well-Being Index scores among states varied within a nine-point range in 2013. The Well-Being Index score for the nation in 2013 dipped to 66.2 from 66.7 in 2012, and matches the previous low, measured in 2011.

Alaska: No Evidence Barbour Killed Here

/1 Comment/in , /by

Photo Credit: WNEPAlaskan authorities say there’s no evidence to back up a 19-year-old Pennsylvania woman’s claim that one of the countless killings she carried out was in their state.

Miranda Barbour told a newspaper reporter over the weekend that she killed so many people across so many states in the last six years that she lost count. She told the Daily Item newspaper in Sunbury, Pa., that the killings spanned from Alaska to North Carolina.

However, Alaska State Troopers said Tuesday Barbour’s claims don’t bear out — at least in their state.

“At this time the Alaska State Troopers are not aware of any information — beyond Barbour’s comments quoted in the press — or evidence that would implicate Barbour with a homicide committed in Alaska,” a statement from the agency said.

The agency said it has been in contact with Pennsylvania authorities.
