First Pizza, Now Wings: NFL Protests Blamed for Falling Sales

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chicken wing sales are down, and some suspect that the NFL national anthem protests are to blame.

The CEO of Sanderson Farms Inc., a top poultry producer in America, recently expressed concerns about falling wings sales on a conference call to discuss earnings, Bloomberg reports.

“The only thing puzzling me right now is wings,” Joe F. Sanderson Jr., chief executive officer of the namesake company, said Thursday.

“It’s just been reported to us that some of our customers think that their traffic is down because of the demonstrations by some of the NFL players,” he told Bloomberg in an interview after the call.

Bloomberg cited a government report that shows wing sales have fallen to 14 percent lower than they were last year just over the last three months. The falling sales coincide with several NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem before their games, ostensibly to protest widespread police brutality in America. President Trump has criticized the anthem protests as “total disrespect of our heritage,” an opinion shared by many.

Is correlation causation? It’s not entirely clear, but Sanderson isn’t the only wing producer taking a hit.

“Sanderson shares fell 13 percent to $145.85 Thursday in New York, the worst slump since August 2004. The company posted lower-than-expected earnings per share in the fourth quarter as chicken prices weakened from rising production and hurricane-related disruptions. Rival processor Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. dropped as much as 8.1 percent, the most in almost 13 months, while Tyson Foods Inc. fell 2.5 percent,” Megan Durisin reported for Bloomberg.

One of the potential causes of the slump is the growing popularity of boneless wings as a substitute for chicken wings, Durisin explained.

But the fact remains that NFL ratings are way down, and last month Papa John’s pizza directly linked its falling sales to the NFL protests. Until NFL players cease politicizing their games, things aren’t likely to change. (For more from the author of “First Pizza, Now Wings: NFL Protests Blamed for Falling Sales” please click HERE)

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards on Friday criticized House Speaker Paul Ryan’s call for higher birth rates in the U.S.

Richards tweeted that “if more members of Congress could get pregnant, maybe they wouldn’t tell the rest of us when and why to get pregnant.”

India’s First Ever ‘Happiness Minister’ Is Wanted on Murder Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

India’s first and only “happiness minister” is wanted on murder charges.

Lal Singh Arya was named a suspect in the 2009 murder of an opposition politician, Makhanlal Jatav, the Times of India reported .

The 53-year-old has previously denied the charges, according to the BBC . Arya is the top official in the Department of Happiness, a ministry run by the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh . . .

An Indian court issued an arrest warrant for Arya last week, but police have yet to find him, the Times of India reported. They have searched three locations across central India: Bhopal, Gwalior, and his native town of Gohad.

The central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh created the department of happiness last year in a bid to “counsel people on how to be always happy,” the state’s chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, according to The Telegraph.

Mike Tyson: Hillary Is America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer

/0 Comments/in , , /by

(Editor’s note: Since this story came out over multiple sites over the last several days, several sources have contended it’s not true. Although Tyson has apparently not yet denied it – and no video from the performance has come out yet – our guess is that it’s fake. Otherwise, a video-clip of the alleged performance would have eventually hit on social media. Whether true or not, though, whoever wrote the below draws an uncomfortable parallel between the Clinton body count and serial killers)

Mike Tyson is currently testing out his one man live show in Las Vegas called Undisputed Truth 2 to small crowds, since Las Vegas is apparently pretty quiet right now. It doesn’t have anything to do with Tyson, but all to do with that horrendous mass shooting at the Mandalay Bay earlier this year, which has seemingly gone through a massive media cover up, with no CCTV footage being released, along with the other major inconsistencies in the story. As a result, people just aren’t going to Las Vegas so much anymore. Anyway, moving back onto the story at hand.

During Mike Tyson’s stand up performance, he said something which many people believe to be alarmingly true: “Hillary is America’s most prolific serial killer – bar none.”

Tyson continued: “Manson family ain’t nothing compared to the Clinton family,” “Ted Bundy? John Wayne Gacy? Please… that’s kiddie stuff,” pointing out that the Manson family had killed five people, and that Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy had killed 35 and 33 people respectively in their sickening killing sprees. Apparently this is a number that pales in comparison to the body count created by Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

“She murdered her very good friend Mr Vince Foster. She deliberately on purpose let Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans die in Benghazi. Do you know how many of her personal bodyguards have died deaths of a premature nature?”

“Twelve. Twelve young men in close proximity to the Clinton’s have died premature. This information is all out there. You can look this up yourself. All of these bodyguards are indeed dead and it might all just be a tragic coincidence. Now I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t want to be on their list of associates.” (Read more from “Mike Tyson: Hillary Is America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer” HERE)

Female Candidate Drops out Amid Sex Scandal Claims

/0 Comments/in , /by

Andrea Ramsey, a Democratic candidate for Congress, will drop out of the race after the Kansas City Star asked her about accusations in a 2005 lawsuit that she sexually harassed and retaliated against a male subordinate who said he had rejected her advances.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the case told The Star that the man reached a settlement with LabOne, the company where Ramsey was executive vice president of human resources. Court documents show that the man, Gary Funkhouser, and LabOne agreed to dismiss the case permanently after mediation in 2006.

Ramsey, a 56-year-old retired business executive from Leawood, was one of the Democratic candidates vying to challenge Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder in 2018 in Kansas’ 3rd District.

She was running with the endorsement of Emily’s List, a liberal women’s group that has raised more than a half-million dollars to help female candidates who support abortion rights . . .

“In its rush to claim the high ground in our roiling national conversation about harassment, the Democratic Party has implemented a zero tolerance standard,” Ramsey said in a statement Friday. “For me, that means a vindictive, terminated employee’s false allegations are enough for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to decide not to support our promising campaign. We are in a national moment where rough justice stands in place of careful analysis, nuance and due process.” (Read more from “Female Candidate Drops out Amid Sex Scandal Claims” HERE)

Trump Rips FBI, Then Praises Training Academy Class

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump Friday praised members of a graduating class at the FBI Academy as underappreciated heroes, but on his way there he also pointed out the bureau’s failings and vowed to “rebuild” so “it’ll be bigger and better than ever.”

The London Daily Mail said Trump, in preparation for his trip to speak at the academy, said some agents have exhibited “disgraceful” conduct.

At the academy, he criticized those who unleash “malicious attacks” on law enforcement, promising he would have the backs of officers who are protecting America.

Police officers, he said, “have been subjected to malicious attacks on their character and integrity.”

“This anti-police sentiment is wrong, and it’s dangerous, and we will not stand for it,” he said. “We believe criminals who kill police officers should get the death penalty.” (Read more from “Trump Rips FBI, Then Praises Training Academy Class” HERE)

Trouble for Imam Who Wants Every Last Jew Dead

/0 Comments/in , /by

An imam from New Jersey who called on Allah to destroy every Jew is in trouble.

The Times of Israel reported Aymen Elkasaby apparently is going through a retraining period after making the comment that Allah should “kill them down to the very last one.”

He’s from the Islamic Center of Jersey City, and the report says he gave a sermon on November 24 where he called on “Allah to wreak vengeance” on Jews.

“That sermon came days after U.S. President Donald Trump defied warnings from the world and recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,” the report said.

According to reports on the dispute, Elkasaby also said suggestions that the recent terrorist attack on the Sinai Peninsula mosque where some 300 worshippers died was done by Islamic State were “ridiculous.” (Read more from “Trouble for Imam Who Wants Every Last Jew Dead” HERE)

CNN Complains Senior White House DHS Adviser Is a Birther, LGBT Critic, and Hardline Anti-Islamist

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Andrew Kaczynski, Chris Massie and Nathan McDermott. A White House senior adviser at the Department of Homeland Security previously promoted conspiracy theories about former President Barack Obama’s birthplace, lamented the “Zimbabwe-fication of America,” and mocked the LGBT community.

Frank Wuco has served as the White House adviser to DHS since January and now leads a team tasked with helping to enforce President Donald Trump’s executive orders, including the administration’s travel ban.

Before that, he hosted a conservative talk radio show in Florida for several years and appeared as a guest on other talk radio shows. CNN’s KFile reviewed more than 40 hours of audio of Wuco’s show and his other appearances.

Wuco, a retired naval intelligence officer, has previously come under media scrutiny for his hardline views on Islam. Wuco has said that violent extremism is in line with the teachings of mainstream Islam and has dressed up as a jihadist character named Fuad Wasul in videos to teach others about the dangers of Islam.

Agency Defends DHS Adviser Wuco

By Josh Delk. Frank Wuco, who hosted a conservative radio program before joining the White House in January, floated the conspiracy that Obama was not eligible to be president because he was not a natural born U.S. citizen and claimed that Obama knew “nothing about the black American experience.”

“Mr. Wuco works every day to keep the American people safe by helping to implement the President’s security-focused agenda, including raising the global bar for vetting and screening of potential terrorists. Years-old comments cherry picked from thousands of hours on the air have no bearing on his ability to perform his job for the American people,” then acting DHS press secretary Tyler Houlton told CNN.

Wuco once hosted a guest in 2011 who wrote a book forwarding the case why Obama was ineligible to be president, and called the president’s birth certificate “questionable” after it was released to the public.

“This person, not only does he, with the exception of the color of his skin, not only does he sort of lay a very false claim on his identification with the black American experience, he has no idea what it is. But people don’t care,” Wuco once quoted a friend as saying on his show. Read more from Agency Defends DHS Adviser HERE)

A Radical Islamic Rally Is Coming to DC This Weekend

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Saturday, radical Islamic activists from across the nation will be protesting outside the White House regarding President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The “Jerusalem is forever the capital of Palestine” rally starts at noon just south of the White House.

Earlier this month, the president recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordered the State Department to begin the process of moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

This set off a ferocious backlash in the anti-Israel community nationwide. One New Jersey imam even called for genocide against Jews.

If the coming Saturday rally is like the other “pro-Palestine” protests since President Trump’s Jerusalem announcement, one can expect to see some severe anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric.

FBI prosecutors have labeled several organizations sponsoring the D.C. event this weekend as fronts for Muslim Brotherhood operations in the U.S.

These groups include the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was started to raise money for the Hamas terrorist organization, along with the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), and the Muslim Students Association (MAS), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), among other outfits.

Sponsors also include at least two major mosques known for their connections to terrorist activity.

One sponsor mosque, Dar al-Hijrah, which is located in northern Virginia, was once led by deceased al Qaeda mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki. The mosque was also attended by two 9/11 hijackers, along with several other convicted terrorists.

The Islamic Society of Boston, another mosque sponsoring the event, has a long history of Islamic extremist activity. It was founded by al Qaeda financier Abdurahman Alamoudi, and one of its original trustees was the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, who has called for suicide bombing attacks against U.S. soldiers.

According to Americans for Peace and Tolerance, “Over the past decade, thirteen congregants, supporters, staff and donors of the ISB have been imprisoned, deported, killed or are on the run.”

There is expected to be a significant amount of attendees at the Saturday protest.

According to the group’s Facebook page, Islamist outfits are renting over a dozen buses to bring in fellow supporters from New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and elsewhere. (For more from the author of “A Radical Islamic Rally Is Coming to DC This Weekend” please click HERE)

White House Urges Roy Moore to Concede, as Supporters Gather Evidence of Voter Fraud

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two days after losing Alabama’s special Senate election, Republican nominee Roy Moore has yet to concede the race to Democrat Doug Jones — even after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that he should.

“I think the president’s position is pretty clear in his outreach to Doug Jones directly,” Sanders said at Thursday’s briefing with reporters. “He likes Doug Jones and looks forward to meeting him in person. and hopes that he will come and follow through on his commitment to work with the president on some things that they agree on.”

Asked if President Trump believed that Moore should give a concession speech, Sanders said that it “should have already taken place.”

But Moore, who suggested on election night that the race would go to a recount, said in a Wednesday web video that late-counted ballots could change the results of the election . . .

Moore, who lost by 20,715 votes, is not in a position to ask for a recount. Alabama law does not trigger a recount unless the margin between two candidates is less than 0.5 percent; according to the latest count by the Associated Press, the margin between Jones and Moore is 1.5 percent.
