The Fix Is In: RNC Establishment Already Seized Control Over the Presidential Nomination Process
Constitutional conservatives are not only mad at the Republican Party Establishment, but they want to defeat them—and defeat them badly. The bad news is that the Republican Establishment knows this and has already fixed the process to favor their selected 2016 Presidential nominee.
Conservatives want Party leadership thrown out and they want Establishment Republican elected officials defeated in primaries. This could not be more obvious as recently elected Establishment favorites are swiftly and forcefully joining forces with the Obama administration on at least two of the most important issues facing our nation: illegal immigration and the national debt.
In response, many conservatives have become very optimistic about the 2016 primary season, including the prospect of nominating for the first time in 32 years a real conservative to represent the Party in a presidential election. I wish this were true.
The sad reality is that the deck is already stacked against the conservatives to such a degree that winning the GOP presidential nomination will be extremely difficult, if not next to impossible. This is true even if the conservatives can agree on a strong, viable nominee to represent them and even though the vast majority of the Republican base is conservative. How can this possibly be?
While many conservative leaders and pundits dismiss the role of the Republican National Committee (RNC) itself when it comes to determining the philosophical direction of the Party, the reality is that Party organization and procedures are vital to determining that direction and it ultimately affects public policy. This is most clearly seen at the presidential level.

FBI: No Expectation of Privacy from Stingrays in Public
Agency claims citizens' cell phone data up for grabs
Two U.S. Senators attempting to investigate government use of cellphone interceptors, commonly referred to as “Stingrays,” have confirmed that no search warrants are obtained when FBI agents use the devices in public.
Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) discovered the startling information last year during a private briefing in which agency officials laid out a list of warrant exemptions.
In a letter to Homeland Security Chief Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder, both Senators expressed their concerns over the wildly broad exemptions and questioned whether seperate government agencies were following the same policy.
For example, we understand that the FBI’s new policy requires FBI agents to obtain a search warrant whenever a cell-site simulator is used as part of a FBI investigation or operation, unless one of several exceptions apply, including (among others): (1) cases that pose an imminent danger to public safety, (2) cases that involve a fugitive, or (3) cases in which the technology is used in public places or other locations at which the FBI deems there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.

‘Medical Kidnapping’: Couple Accuses State of Stealing Kids After Routine Hospital Visit
Children's health deteriorates in state custody after CPS confiscates without proof of neglect
A young couple was forced to spend the holidays apart from their three children after a routine trip to the hospital resulted in their offspring’s confiscation.
When South Dakota couple Molly Bowling and Michael Becker discovered their two-month old, Creedance, had a cut on his tongue that was making eating difficult, they did what any parent would and called their doctor.
“He wouldn’t eat. When he was crying we would see the cut on his tongue, so I called his doctor and he said we should take him to the ER. So we went to the ER,” Bowling told KSFY.
Once the Sioux Falls couple explained they believed Creedance may have been harmed in daycare, staff members reached out to the non-profit child abuse organization Children’s Voices who advised the hospital to keep the infant overnight.
“It all happened so fast,” said Becker, according toMedicalKidnap.com. “Next thing I know, we’re being questioned by CPS and detectives.”
CPS then went and inspected the home where the family’s other two children were staying with their grandparents and deemed it suitable, however, authorities declared parents Molly and Michael would have to stay somewhere else.
Later, police were reportedly sent to question the parents separately. When Becker felt he was being given the third degree, he asked for an attorney. Molly says, “everything came downhill after that.”

Youth Misery Index Grows More than 50% Under Obama Administration
Young America’s Foundation has released its Youth Misery Index (YMI) numbers for 2014, and it’s a record high of 106.5. The Youth Misery Index (YMI) is calculated by adding youth unemployment, student loan debt, and national debt (per capita) numbers.
Young people are experiencing hardships like never before under the Obama administration, and this generation is especially suffering the consequences of this administration’s leftist policies.
Youth unemployment in 2014 was 18.1 percent (18.1 on YMI), with almost six million young people between the ages of 16 and 24 not in school or work. Many young people are simply giving up on finding employment.
Student loan debt for 2014 rings in at a record-breaking $30,000 (30.0 on YMI). Student debt has risen at an average of six percent per year since 2008, and today, 70% of college seniors graduate with student loan debt. In addition, the job market still hasn’t recovered, leaving many recent graduates with little or no income to pay back their loans.
National debt per capita for 2014 is the highest it’s ever been at $58,437 (58.4 on YMI). Young people will be stuck paying for government debt they had no part in creating, and they’ll have to do it with less discretionary income than ever before because of record-high levels of student loan debt.

Syria: Isis chief executioner found beheaded with cigarette in his mouth
In a grotesque twist of the saying "live by the sword, die by the sword", an Islamic State executioner in Syria who carried out beheadings for the jihadist group has been found with his head cut off.
The body of the Egyptian man, known to be the deputy emir of the feared al-Hesbah (or Hisbah) force in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor, was recovered near a power plant in al-Mayadeen city, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The corpse showed signs of torture and carried the message "This is evil, you Sheikh" written on it. The severed head also had a cigarette in its mouth. It is unclear who carried out the decapitation but the message was obvious.

Police officers more hesitant to shoot black suspects, study finds
In fact, he said, officers involved in shootings have told him that they were actually relieved that the person they shot was white, not black.
“The second things is, I’ve had multiple officers tell me they were worried in the wake of a shooting because they shot a black person, and I’ve had multiple officers tell me that they were glad that the person they shot was white,” Mr. Klinger said. “Because then they knew they weren’t going to have to be subject to the racial harangue.”
The interviews, which he conducted for a book he’s planning to finish this year, run directly counter to the prevailing view pushed by social justice groups, politicians and others: that shooting victims such as 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson were victims at least in part of racial discrimination against blacks among cops.
“Police officers — at least the ones I interviewed — are very sensitive to the race issue, but not in the way this popular narrative is running, i.e., cops are out there trying to find young black men who don’t have guns so they can shoot them down like dogs in the street,” Mr. Klinger said. “That just isn’t anything I’ve found in any of the research that I’ve done.”

More sanctions against North Korea forthcoming
The Obama Administration says its new round of sanctions against North Korea is just the beginning. Officials tell the AP the new rules freeze assets in the U.S. owned by 10 individuals working for the North Korean government or closely tied to it. Three North Korean defense organizations are also under sanction. Observers say there might be little else the U.S. can do. Many sanctions are in place already because of North Korea's nuclear missile program. North Korean officials reacted angrily to the sanctions, imposed in response to hacking that hit Sony Pictures.
DUI - SOUTHERN STYLE
Only a person in North Carolina could think of this. From the country where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story.
Recently a routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in Kinston , North Carolina . After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity, in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off--it was a fine, dry summer night--,flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and th en remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons' vehicles left.
At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test.
To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken."
"I doubt it," said the truly proud Redneck.
"Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

There are 1400 cars inside this grounded ship
The bad news? The cars and trucks inside are almost certainly badly damaged due to the severe angle the ship is listing at. And these aren't beaters off to be sold in some impoverished nation; the Hoegh Osaka was full of new premium vehicles like Jaguars, Land Rovers, and Minis.
The ship was carrying approximately 1400 cars—about 1200 Jaguar/Land Rover products and 65 Minis among them—and some construction equipment when, after leaving port, it developed a severe list. To prevent the ship from overturning completely, the crew grounded the vessel off the Isle of Wight, a short distance away. The crew were rescued, but the ship was left on a bank at a severe 45-degree angle.

Ron Paul: Hey Congress, Want To Fix The Country?
Reversing the long, slow slide toward authoritarianism
Since New Year’s is traditionally a time for resolutions, and since the new Congress convenes this week, I thought I would suggest some New Year’s resolutions for Congress:
1) Bring the troops home — Congress should take the first, and most important, step toward ending our hyper-interventionist foreign policy by bringing our troops home and closing all overseas military facilities. The American people can no longer afford to bear the cost of empire.
2) Pass the Audit the Fed bill — The American people deserve to know the entire truth about how the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy benefits big-spending politicians and financial elites while harming average Americans.
3) Repeal the PATRIOT Act and rein in the National Security Agency — It is approaching two years since Edward Snowden revealed the extent of the NSA’s unconstitutional spying. Yet Congress still refuses to put a leash on the surveillance state. Congress should take the first step toward restoring respect for the Fourth Amendment by allowing Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act to expire.

Why Are There So Many Dead Malls? The Middle Class Is Dying, Too
Dead malls are in the news often lately, whether they’ve become self-aware, are being reduced to rubble, or are being turned into condos or houses of worship. Even teens don’t want to hang out there anymore. Why is it, though, that malls that once clothed and entertained the middle class are dying out? What, if anything, will take their place?
