Lawsuit: Cop Tasered 10 Year Old at School’s Career Day Because He Wouldn’t Wash Patrol Car

/5 Comments/in , /by

Photo credit: CeaA New Mexico police officer is accused of Tasering a 10-year-old boy because he wouldn’t wash his patrol car.

Courthouse News Service reports Motor Transportation Police Officer Chris Webb is being sued for allegedly using the weapon on the boy during a May 4 “career day” at Tularosa Intermediate School.

The complaint reportedly states that Webb asked a group of boys during the school’s career day who would like to wash his patrol car. All the boys responded they would, except when the 10-year-old identified as R.D. jokingly said he wouldn’t.

That’s when, the complaint states, Webb shot R.D. with his Taser.

“Defendant Webb responded by pointing his Taser at R.D. and saying, ‘Let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police,’” the complaint says, according to Courthouse News Service. “Both barbs penetrated the boy’s shirt, causing the device to deliver 50,000 volts into the boy’s body.”

Eric Holder’s Family Tied to One of Georgia’s Most Notorious Abortion Doctors

/3 Comments/in , /by

Eric Holder Jr.’s family is moving fast and furiously to bury the U.S. Attorney General’s ties to one of Georgia’s most notorious abortion doctors.

Just cleared by an internal report in the “Fast and Furious” gunrunning debacle, the nation’s top lawman now faces allegations that his connection to Dr. Tyrone Cecil Malloy is a conflict of interest that helps explain Holder’s failure to prosecute abortion providers who run afoul of federal law.

Critics say it may also explain why Holder has been eager to prosecute pro-life advocates who counsel women outside abortion clinics.

Documents obtained by Watchdog show that Holder’s wife and sister-in-law co-own, through a family trust, the building where Malloy operated. A Georgia grand jury indicted Malloy on Medicaid fraud charges in 2011. A state medical board twice reprimanded the doctor.

Holder and his wife, Sharon Malone Holder, an obstetric and gynecological doctor at Foxhall OB/GYN in Washington, D.C., failed to respond to several requests for comment.

Democratic Opponent Says Special Forces Colonel “Not Qualified” for Congress

/5 Comments/in , /by

A retired Army colonel who served with the elite Special Forces — and who is now running for Congress — is being accused by his Democratic congressional opponent of being unqualified to serve in Congress.

Chris Perkins is running for the 11th congressional seat in Virginia, which encompasses the Washington, DC, suburbs and a large constituency of federal government employees. Perkins served most of his 24 years in uniform as an Army Green Beret overseas.

But incumbent Democrat Gerry Connolly recently told The Washington Post, which has endorsed his candidacy, that Perkins’ military service makes him unqualified to hold federal office because he has not been civically engaged in the 11th District.

In response, Perkins says Connolly has been bragging about his career in government.

Report: New Jersey Senator Up for Reelection Tied to Dominican Prostitutes

/2 Comments/in , /by

By Matthew Boyle. Two women from the Dominican Republic told The Daily Caller that Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez paid them for sex earlier this year.

In interviews, the two women said they met Menendez around Easter at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000 acre resort in the Dominican Republic. They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100.

The women spoke through a translator in the company of their attorney, Melanio Figueroa. Both asked that their identities remain obscured for fear of reprisals in the Dominican Republic.

When shown a photograph of Sen. Menendez, the women said they recognized him as the man with whom they’d had sexual relations at Casa de Campo this spring. Both said they were brought to the resort with the understanding they would be paid for sex.

Neither knew the identity of the man at the time. Both claimed to recognize him later as Sen. Menendez. Read more from this story HERE.

Dailykos Response to “Possible” Menendez Scandal

By Coolelegans. Apparently there is a rumor flying around that Sen. Menendez hired prostitutes while touring the Caribbean and it’s being pushed on Drudge. I have a few things to say about this. First of all it’s by the guy Tucker Carlson who got his *ss kicked by Jon Stewart and no longer has a job. He is desperate to hype up some breaking news because he is irrelevant, so I would take this news with a grain of salt. But, at the same time, I wouldn’t discount it completely, because they were right about Anthony Weiner before.

In either case, this whole thing is stupid. First of all, Menendez is crushing his opposition right now, and things aren’t going to move too much in a few days. Second, New Jersians right now care about what their politicians do for them, and Obama and co. are showing how good they are at handling the storm. Third, I don’t even think Menendez is married, Wikipedia says that he is divorced. So, basically conservatives are accusing Menendez of being attracted to women. Whoop-de-doo. As long as he didn’t use tax payer money for his trysts- who cares. Read more from this story HERE.

Video: Jay Leno Nails Obama on Libya, Sex-Themed Ad

/6 Comments/in , , /by

We’ve posted two videos from Jay Leno’s program last night. The first is a short clip where Leno takes President Obama to task for his new “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

It’s quite funny and Leno doesn’t cut Obama any slack:

The second video repeats the clip from above but then continues into a critique of Obama’s sexually-themed “First Time” ad that a number of comedians have poked fun at. [We’ve included both videos as some readers have reported problems with the player below; unfortunately, it is the only player that we could locate that includes Leno’s critique of Obama’s “First Time” ad]:

Biden: Transgender discrimination is ‘civil rights issue of our time’

/7 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Joe Biden described transgender discrimination as the “civil rights issue of our time” after speaking with a woman at a campaign event Tuesday in Sarasota, Fla.

As reported by Politico, Biden singed Linda Carragher Bourne of Sarasota out because of her beautiful eyes. Bourne told reporters that she spoke with the vice president and told him that her daughter was Miss Trans New England and asked if he would help. In response, Biden said the words, “civil rights issue of our time”.

Biden has been very passionate and dedicated when it comes to LGBT issues. It was just this past August in Provincetown, MA that Biden enthusiastically told a group of LGBT advocates that they were “freeing the souls of the American people” and are a symbol for the advancement of “civil rights of every straight American”.

Bourne was encouraged by Biden’s response and believes the Democratic ticket is the country’s best chance of obtaining civil rights for all.

Videos: Independent Women’s Voice – “You Deserve Better”

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Independent Women’s Voice (IWV) has put together a series of anti-Obama ads that target independent-minded women voters. The PAC just put out two more videos in their series, and the first one below is pretty funny.

This is what the Independent Women’s Voice says about their mission:

Women account for more than half the population, half of all voters and nearly half of all independents. So, if our leaders can’t address the critical issues of our day in a way that resonates with women, they will lose that important voting bloc.

Forty-one percent of voters now identify themselves as Independents. In 2006 and 2008, many of them contributed to Democratic victories. Today, that voting bloc is more conservative than ever, often more conservative and free market than self-described Republicans. Yet Republicans often don’t talk about issues in ways that make sense to Independents. Conservatives can’t win by simply relying on Republican base voters; IWV, because it is motivated not by party but by philosophy, is the credible message delivery group that espouses conservative, free market ideals in a way that resonates with Independents and women. IWV has the advantage of being an organization comprised of smart, policy-oriented women who have a track record of asking different questions, approaching problems creatively, and seeing opportunities where most others haven’t.

Like women everywhere and many Independents, we watch as, over and over, traditional conservative messages are delivered at the wrong pitch to be maximally effective, however much we may agree with what they are trying to say. So we try to say it better, in a way that speaks to us and, hopefully to you too.

Here’s IWV’s most recent video. Two other related IWV videos follow:

Video: Little Girl Bursts into Tears, “I’m Tired of Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney”

By Daily Mail Reporter. Fort Collins mother Elizabeth Evans uploaded a video of her daughter’s teary-eyed plea in which the youngster said she was crying because of ‘Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney.’

The mother said that the duo had been on their way to the grocery store listening to an election story on National Public Radio when the waterworks went off.

In the video, Mrs Evans asks her red-eyed daughter why she is crying.

‘I’m tired of Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney,’ Abigael responds.

Mrs Evans reassured her daughter that the end of the election was in sight. Read more from this story HERE.

Video: Obama-Style Halloween With Hidden Camera

/13 Comments/in , /by

In this very funny video, conservative comedian Steven Crowder uses a hidden camera to demonstrate the innate unfairness of the redistributive policies of the Obama administration.

As children surround him, he takes candy from children with more and gives it to children with less. The kids are outraged. As they should be.

Crowder even manages to throw a “you didn’t build that” line at one of the children.

Lest anyone forget where Obama is on redistribution of wealth, here’s his famous statement to Joe the Plumber back in 2008:

“My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. If you’ve got a plumbing business, you’re gonna be better off if you’re gonna be better off if you’ve got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you, and right now everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

And there are many, many other examples of this Obama philosophy. But it’s a philosophy fully rejected by our youngest generation:

Real War on Women: Obamacare Reduces Women’s Health Coverage

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Obama himself says the government has no business being involved in women’s health and what we do with our bodies ought to be our choice, but now conveniently timed “guidelines” from doctors, in partnership with the government run Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued guidelines that expand coverage for sexual behavior while reducing real women’s health care coverage, proving where the real “warn on women” lies.

Under Obamacare regulations women now only have a PAP smear covered every three years. In case you aren’t a woman, which the president isn’t, by the way, PAP smears are generally—were generally—part of an annual well-woman exam. However, after Obamacare passed, new cervical cancer screening guidelines were released and suddenly because of that, after years of annual coverage, women are now reporting going for a PAP smear and having it denied as part of their covered exam. As one article notes:

[T]he American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) teamed with the American Cancer Association and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to issue new guidelines which pushed back the age at which young women should begin to have internal pelvic exams and suggested that most women only need pap smears once every three years.

A PAP smear, which tests for abnormal (often pre-cancerous) cells, HPV, and cervical cancer, involves a quick scrape of the cervix to test cells. It takes all of 5 seconds and often saves women’s lives when something abnormal is detected.

President Obama clearly thinks PAP smears are important, or at least he keeps saying so when he insists that Planned Parenthood needs its $487 million a year from the government. He keeps saying it’s for “mammograms and cervical cancer screenings.” Well, we know he keeps lying about the mammograms when even the national media, a federal agency, and Planned Parenthood itself say it doesn’t do mammograms, but he keeps saying it. So there are no mammograms, but certainly we need to give Planned Parenthood money for cervical cancer screenings? Except the guidelines just changed this year, partly in partnership with, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, and now what most women got annually they now get every 3 to 5 years. Coincidentally, this task force is a part of the HHS, the very same folks who worked on the birth control mandate and health care plan. Surprise.
