Students across U.S. to march over debt, free public college

Students were set to walk out of classrooms across the United States on Thursday to protest ballooning student loan debt for higher education and rally for tuition-free public colleges and a minimum wage hike for campus workers.

The demonstrations are planned just two days after thousands of fast-food workers took to the streets in a nationwide day of action pushing for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and union rights for the industry.  Read more

Missouri back to football, but it's not business as usual

And you thought the resignation of the school's president was going to solve everything.  Wrong!!!  Its just the beginning.  Once they get what they want, it becomes a unsatisfied appetite for more.  Richard Medlock

Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said Wednesday he had asked his coaching staff to stay in close touch with the team in a tense week that included a player plan to boycott and the arrest of a student following online threats against black students and faculty.  Read more

Kerry: Keystone Shows U.S. Is ‘Willing to Make The Same Tough Choices’ on Climate It Wants From Others

Great example.  Taking the most innovative country in the world, a leader in almost all modern progress, and turning it back to the "dark ages".  Richard Medlock

Rejecting the Keystone XL oil pipeline application provided the Obama administration with the opportunity to prove that the U.S. was “willing to make the same tough choices that we advocate to the rest of the world” when it comes to climate change, Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday.  Read more

Springs Officers Will No Longer Take Fitness Tests After Discrimination Lawsuit

Colorado Springs residents had a lot to say after hearing that Colorado Springs police officers will no longer have to take physical fitness tests this year.

“I think it’s a mistake,” Mary Jo Piccin told CBS4’s Tom Mustin. “I think the police need to be able to chase down them criminals.”

Last Friday the Colorado Springs Police Department agreed to the demands of 12 female officers who filed a civil suit claiming the fitness tests are discriminatory. All the officers were over the age of 40.  Read more

Greek workers on general strike against austerity

ATHENS--Greece's main labor unions began a 24-hour general strike on Thursday, in protest against austerity measures imposed under Greece's international bailout.

The strike, which is set to disrupt hospital, public transport, air traffic, tax offices and other activities, is the first major union action faced by the governing Syriza party, a left-wing movement that vowed to end austerity but that has had to accept Greece's creditors' demands to stay in the euro.

The strike was organized by the country's two largest union groups, GSEE and ADEDY, which represent private and public sector workers respectively.  Read more

Eurozone industrial output falls for second month

Industrial output in the eurozone fell for a second straight month in September, data showed Thursday, as German manufacturers felt the pinch from weakening demand in China and other large developing economies.

The decline in the output of factories, mines and utilities was unexpected, and means it is possible figures to be released Friday will record a slight slowdown in the pace of economic growth during the three months through September, a development that would make it more likely the European Central Bank would decide to provide fresh stimulus when its governing council meets in December.  Read more

Talk of North Korean purge amid mystery over senior official

SEOUL—Speculation about a possible new high-level purge in North Korea grew on Thursday after a close aide to leader Kim Jong Un appeared to miss a gathering of the Pyongyang leadership.

Choe Ryong Hae, who has been an emissary for Kim to China, Russia and South Korea in recent years, wasn’t among the mourners at a funeral on Wednesday for a senior military figure, according to analysis from South Korean media of North Korean television footage of the event.  Read more

Intel on 'two-hour timer' uncovered in Russian jet crash investigation

Investigators analyzing the deadly crash of a Russian jet in Egypt uncovered intelligence about a “a two-hour timer,”  though it is not clear whether the reference came from intercepted communications between known terrorist operatives, or physical evidence, a source familiar with the investigation told Fox News.

A separate source, also not authorized to speak on the record, said that based on the facts so far, one of the working theories is that a bomb was planted at or near the fuel line or where it attaches to the engine, with the fuel burning off the explosive. This theory would explain the apparent lack of residue immediately found, the source says.  Read more

‘The biggest sham’: Sheriffs fume at mass release of 6,000 federal inmates

Look!  Obama where he should be.  

Local sheriffs across America are voicing concern for the safety of the citizens they've sworn to protect after the biggest one-time release of federal inmates in U.S. history -- though advocates of criminal justice reform maintain the release is being handled responsibly. 

The 6,112 inmates were released from federal prison at the beginning of November in response to a decision by the U.S. Sentencing Commission to reduce sentences for most drug trafficking offenses and apply them retroactively. It coincides with a broader and bipartisan push for rethinking federal sentencing.   Read more

Kurds begin offensive to retake strategic Iraqi town of Sinjar from ISIS

Kurdish Iraqi fighters, backed by U.S. airstrikes, launched an assault Thursday aimed at retaking the strategic town of Sinjar, which ISIS overran last year in an onslaught that caused the flight of tens of thousands of Yazidis and prompted the U.S. to begin its campaign against the militants.  Read more

Glen Campbell moves to full-time care facility

Glen Campbell's wife has been forced to make the heartbreaking decision to return the ailing country star to a full-time memory care facility as his battle with Alzheimer’s progresses.

Kim Campbell brought her husband home in September after placing him in a full-time care facility in 2014. Along with the couple’s children, Ashley and Shannon, as well as their nephew Matthew Monier and family friend Brody Wooton, she returned to being his primary caregiver for seven weeks.

“I always wanted to bring him home and give it another try because I miss him so terribly,” Kim tells People. But in the end, she decided he needed to return to a full-time facility with professional caregivers. “It was just more than I could handle,” she admits. “He’s the sweetest person in the world, but he becomes combative when you try to change his clothes or bathe him. It really wasn’t the best situation.”  Read more

Macy’s Q3 Report Reveals People Not Buying Stuff in “Recovering” Economy

Macy's falling short of the $6.15 billion forecast by Wall Street analysts. The company dropped its full-year earnings forecast a full 50 cents, from $4.70 to $4.80 per share down to $4.20 to $4.30 per share.

Comparable store sales also tumbled by 3.9%. That was far worse than the expected negative 0.4% drop.

The New York Times offered a number of plausible excuses for Macy’s poor performance, including warm weather and a strong dollar. But the bottom line is people simply aren’t buying as much stuff, as indicated by Macy’s chairman Terry J. Lundgren in his statement:  Read more

The Extinction of Trust - Charlie Daniels

When you go to court you are asked to swear to “tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”.

Now that statement covers a lot of ground.

If you tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, spin, tilt, stonewalling and plausible deniability do not apply.

It seems in so many congressional hearings those who are being questioned find a way to talk around the real answers with platitudes, stalling, skirting the edges with half-truths and giving such long, wordy answers as to lead the conversation away from the original intention of the question.  Read more

Military Tribute, Thank You Veterans

Obamacare - The Gift That Keeps On Taking

Isn’t it interesting the mainstream media makes barely a peep about the ongoing and worsening Obamacare debacle. Healthcare premiums, co-pays and deductibles are soaring, while doctor and plan choices contract to a minuscule level. Recent surveys reveal the hardship being inflicted upon families across the nation. Those who are willfully baffled by the lack of consumer spending need look no further than Obamacare and its impact on the budgets of hard working Americans.  Read more

Veterans Day: It's time to let our military focus on character not political agendas

I flew the A-10 Thunderbolt II (known as “the Warthog”) in the first Gulf War, and on each mission I had to trust my wingman with my life. That is not something that most people experience on a day-to-day basis, but the chance of something bad happening to either of us depended upon whether we worked as a team and looked out for each other.

The essence of that relationship is called esprit de corps – a commitment to each other and our goals based upon character.  Read more

5 ways the US Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard’s global presence matters right here at home

America’s sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen are set to undertake another Fleet Week in Seattle on July 29th. These celebrations and community connections are much more than the awe-inspiring parades of ships, air shows, and conversations with those currently serving on behalf of the rest of us.  Read more

Ted Cruz proposes eliminating Energy, HUD, Commerce, Education, IRS

Ted Cruz called for the elimination of the Departments of Energy, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Commerce, and Education, as well as the IRS.  The liberal media will be focusing on the fact that he mentioned eliminating Commerce twice.  I prefer to focus on the merits of what he has announced.  Read more

Brilliant Missouri Student Makes Facebook Post About the Protests

I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that the University of Missouri has taken a beating with all the protests about racial insensitivity.

The whole situation began because an inebriated student began using racial slurs, which led to members of the football team refusing to practice or play.  Read more

Honor killing in America: DOJ report says growing problem is hidden in stats

The estimated 27 victims of so-called "honor killings" each year in the U.S. don't fit neatly into the FBI's exhaustive Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics.

Hidden among thousands of nondescript murders and cases labeled as domestic violence are a mounting number of killings motivated by a radical and dark interpretation of Islam. Honor killings and violence, which typically see men victimize wives and daughters because of behavior that has somehow insulted their faith, are among the most secretive crimes in society, say experts.  Read more

MISSOURI CONFIRMS IT: US CAMPUSES ARE SLIDING INTO PC CHAOS

November 2015 may well prove a tipping point in the college campus descent into politically correct chaos.

Yesterday, I described the rise of emotionally incontinent, Maoist-style mobs at Yale, screeching at a professor who refused to apologise over… something to do with Halloween costumes. Now we learn that a football team at the University of Missouri has taken the unprecedented step of boycotting future games until their concerns about alleged campus racism are addressed, and the university president has resigned over his supposed “white privilege.” There’s even a hunger strike involved.  Read more

ISIS flag, radical manifesto raise questions about Calif. campus stabber's motive

The California college student who stabbed four people last week was carrying an image of the black flag of ISIS according to a report Tuesday, as well as a handwritten manifesto with instructions to behead a student and multiple reminders to pray to Allah, yet authorities continued to insist Faisal Mohammad's motives had nothing to do with radical Islam.

The 18-year-old, who was killed by a campus police officer to end the Wednesday morning attack, was a loner who was incensed at being booted from a study group, according to Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke. But the extreme way Mohammad dealt with his rage, the presence of the printout of Islamic State's black flag and the deadly plans spelled out in the two-page document he carried could indicate there was more to the attack than simple rejection.  Read more
