GOP Rep. Steve King Defends The Right To Watch Dog Fighting

Iowa Rep. Steve King (R) is standing up for the rights of Americans who want to see dogs and others animals pitted against one another in fights that often result in the animals’ deaths. During a tele-townhall event last week, King complained about an amendment to the farm bill that would criminalize attending organized animal fights and would impose additional penalties on people who bring children to the events. “When the legislation that passed in the farm bill that says that it’s a federal crime to watch animals fight or to induce someone else to watch an animal fight but it’s not a federal crime to induce somebody to watch people fighting, there’s something ...
Are Climate Skeptics More Likely To Be Conspiracy Theorists?

It’s time to come clean: climate change is a hoax. And the moon landings were faked, 9/11 was an inside job, and the CIA is hiding the identity of the gunman on the grassy knoll. It might seem odd to lump climate change – a scientific theory supported by thousands of peer-reviewed papers and hundreds of independent lines of evidence – with conspiracy theories like these. But new research to be published in a forthcoming issue of Psychological Science has found a link between the endorsement of conspiracy theories and the rejection of established facts about climate science. In a survey of more than 1,000 readers of websites related to climate change, people who agreed with ...
Cheney: It Was A ‘Mistake’ To Pick Palin For VP

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is warning presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to choose his vice presidential nominee wisely because Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) made a “mistake” by picking former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R). During an interview clip that aired on Sunday, ABC’s Jonathan Karl asked Cheney, who reportedly selected himself to be on the Republican ticket with George W. Bush, how important it was for Romney to handle his VP pick differently from McCain. “Pretty important,” Cheney insisted. “That one, I don’t think was well handled. … And the test to get on that small list has to be, is this person capable of being ...

Tea Party Congressman Calls McCain ‘Numb Nuts’ For Criticizing Bachmann’s Anti-Muslim Witch Hunt

Tea Party Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) lashed out at Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for criticizing him and his fellow conservative members for suggesting that a senior aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Gohmert is part of a small group of five Republican members, led by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who are demanding an investigation into whether Clinton deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin is connected to the group. “Normally you don’t go blast somebody on the floor who is a colleague on the same side of the aisle unless you touch base with them,” Gohmert complained during an appearance on the Dennis Miller Show on Tuesday, ...

Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist helped the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrate the U.S. government, according to the report that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) cited in an attack on top State Department aide Human Abedin. Earlier this month, Bachmann and four other Republicans sent a letter to inspectors general in the State, Homeland Security, Defense and Justice departments calling on them to investigate “potential Muslim Brotherhood infiltration” of the Obama administration by Abedin, an aide to Secretary Clinton and wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY). As evidence of their claims, the five Republicans cited “The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within,” a ...

Within hours of the tragic shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado last night, politicians and others rushed to stake out the tragedy as their own. Some pointed to the senseless murders as proof of their beliefs, while others have used it as an opportunity to gather donations and expand their mailing lists. Others have simply been unable to resist the powerful urge to rush to their computers or smart phones and say, “I told you so!” as loudly as they can. Here’s Raw Story‘s round-up of the five worst opportunistic offenders at just barely twelve hours or so since James Holmes reportedly fired his first shot. 5.

George Zimmerman's television interview in which he said he had few regrets about the night he killed teenager Trayvon Martin has been entered as possible evidence in his upcoming murder trial. In a wide ranging interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity Zimmerman, appearing articulate and calm, said he neither regretted carrying a gun that night nor pursuing the 17-year-old Martin. "I feel that it was all God's plan," he told Hannity. When asked if there was "anything you might do differently," Zimmerman responded, "No Sir." This morning the prosecution entered the tape of the interview into discovery as and could attempt to admit it as evidence in ...

Reagan-Appointed Judge: Republican ‘Lunatics’ Made Me Less Conservative

A well-respected judge who was appointed to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by President Ronald Reagan says that he has become less conservative because of “crackpots” and “lunatics” in the Republican Party. In an interview with NPR on Thursday Judge Richard Posner said that “right-wingers” were making a serious mistake by attacking Chief Justice John Roberts for siding with liberals and upholding President Barack Obama’s health care reform law. “Because if you put [yourself] in his position, what’s he supposed to think?” Posner wondered. “That he finds his allies to be a bunch of crackpots? Does that help the conservative ...

Donald Trump is again predicting President Obama will start a war with Iran solely to help his chances of getting re-elected this November. The billionaire developer made his forecast both on the Internet and television Tuesday, initially tweeting: “Just as I predicted, Barack Obama is preparing a possible attack on Iran right before November.” He then spoke via phone to Greta Van Susteren of Fox News, confirming: “Yes, I believe that we will end up in a war with Iran because I think Obama views that as politically good for him. … I have said for a year and a half that in the end, somewhere before the election we will end up in a form of war with Iran, and I think ...

It has now been 1165 days or 3 years, two months and 8 days since Sean Hannity said he'd undergo waterboarding to prove it's not torture - and do it to raise money for charity. Time to man up, Sean, to borrow one of you favorite phrases. Either do it or explain why you haven't!Below is a video (from our friends at Crooks and Liars) showing Hannity's promise to undergo waterboarding - plus Keith Olbermann's offer to add $1,000 to charity for every second Hannity tolerates the process. You can email hannity at seanhannity@foxnews.com or tweet him @SeanHannity and let him know he may want to forget his promise but we won't!
Lady Gaga's New Perfume Created Using Blend Of Human Blood, Semen, And Poisonous Extract

(NaturalNews) If you have ever doubted the truly satanic essence of the infamous Lady Gaga, then you need look no further than her new perfume, which is expected to debut this fall. According to the Boston Globe and various other sources, the new Gaga scent, known as "Fame," was created using a sample of Gaga's own blood, as well as semen from another unknown donor. The blend apparently also contains a highly-toxic plant extract that is known to kill humans. It could all just be one big demonic publicity stunt to market the ugly black liquid packaged in an alien-like, egg-shaped bottle held by what appear to be slender claws. But several sources confirm that Gaga literally ...
Experts Eat Crow After High Court Health Ruling

The Supreme Court’s healthcare ruling upended conventional wisdom and expert predictions at nearly every turn. The court said in a 5-4 decision this week that the individual mandate in President Obama’s healthcare law is constitutional. The court also said the law’s Medicaid expansion was unconstitutional, but found a fix that didn’t require striking down the entire law. Even lawmakers and legal experts who correctly predicted that the court would uphold the mandate were surprised by the details of the decision and the makeup of the court’s majority. Some lawyers who worked on the case were surprised at their victories on certain points. “I’m still ...

I saw a post by mcgowanjm and he is a fairly astute kook, and I mean that in a good way. He made the observation in my title. I think A K A Stone and his fundie ways have alienated the fairer sex, but that's just my theory. Some have claimed byeltsin is a woman, I'm not so sure about that. The twin left-coasters - lucysmom and mininggold have disappeared from here. I know liberator types faster than a woman. Okay, I've said my piece and good night.

TAIWAN - A woman has recently turned to the Investigation Bureau to help her exchange bundles of damaged bills originally worth a total of NT$1 million (S$42,750) for new ones after she found the files of cash she stored in her safe had been eaten by termites. However, the forensic expert only managed to piece together NT$26,000 in notes from the piles of damaged bills, according to a local media report yesterday. The woman, surnamed Chen, who graduated from a Taipei university last year, was originally going to spend the NT$1 million to study aboard, according to the Chinese-language Apple Daily report yesterday. It took her eight years of hard work to come up with the money which she ...
Marijuana Changed Notorious Nazi Twins Into Peace-Loving Hippies

In 2003, California twin sisters Lamb and Lynx Gaede had formed a neo-Nazi band named Prussian Blue, after the by-product of the poison used to gas millions of Jews. Now that they are 20, the twins have changed dramatically into peace-loving hippies. Why? Marijuana. According to the Daily Mail, the sisters — seen here as kids wearing matching smiley Hitler faced T-Shirts — are no longer racist and have actually become “pretty liberal” because of medical marijuana. When Lynx was diagnosed with cancer during her freshman year of high school and had a tumor removed from her shoulder, she was prescribed OxyContin and morphine to deal with the pain. She then began smoking ...

Firm suspected of Medicare fraud for penis pumps

A new report by federal auditors says a Kansas-based company may have paid out as much as $4.2 million in potentially fraudulent Medicare claims for penis pumps, and the auditors are asking the company to refund the government the money.
The Health and Human Services inspector general said it sampled 100 claims made with Pos-T-Vac, the Dodge City-based penis-pump manufacturer, and found improprieties in more than half of payments for what are known as “male vacuum erection systems.”
The errors ranged from the company’s failing to maintain proof that it delivered the pumps to customers, to one instance when the physician’s approval order wasn’t even signed by the doctor.
Together, ...

Fox News Anchors Shocked By Reporter Who Interrupted President Obama

When a reporter for Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller interrupted President Obama in the middle of a speech on immigration reform, even Fox News anchors Shep Smith and Chris Wallace found the incident “weird.” “I think it’s outrageous,” Wallace exclaimed. “I covered Ronald Reagan for six years with Sam Donaldson. We used to scream our lungs out asking questions, but we always waited until the president — any president — had finished speaking. The idea that you would interrupt the president in the middle of prepared remarks and shout a question — I don’t think the guy should be allowed back in the White House on a press pass, and my guess ...
