In the wake of incredibly disturbing amounts of anti-police rhetoric from people like Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, and even Barack Obama, there has been a marked uptick in assaults on police officers, as well as several murders.
Two NYPD officers were assassinated last week while sitting in their patrol car eating lunch by a violent, anti-police race rioter gang member who posted his intentions to kill cops on his Facebook account just hours before he carried out the execution-style attack.
Sadly, two more officers were killed over the weekend. As far as we know, the killings were not related toFerguson race-rioters, but the stories are still developing.
The first police officer killed over the weekend worked for the Flagstaff, Az. police department, as reported byPrescott News. Tyler Stewart, a 24-year old officer, was attempting to make contact with a man involved in a domestic violence incident earlier in the day. The violent man opened fire on the officer and then shot himself. They both died from the gunshot injuries.
The second officer killing took place in Florida, when 45-year-0ld police officer Charles Kondek of Tarpon Springs, Fla. was gunned down by a violent fugitive by the name of Marco Antonio Parilla Jr. He then ran over Kondek’s body as he fled the scene. He was charged with first-degree murder and was denied bail. According to NBCNews, Kondek was a 17-year veteran of the force.

Male Reporter Takes On Sexist Female Reporters in Epic Smackdown
By now, we’re used to the feminazis screaming like wounded banshees every time someone questions their beliefs, but one man can get them going like you wouldn’t believe. We have awesome video of the exchange that will leave you in stitches.
At the beginning of this video, you can see the host is visibly uncomfortable with the topic, and is almost condescending with the way she explains that it was “two economists, by the way” who did the study. The big-haired guest with the annoying voice then jumps in and mocks the study, saying it was done by “mostly men.” There’s your hint right there that this isn’t exactly going to be an unbiased look at this report. That feeling is only made worse by the host herself taking the side of the feminazi in the lower right-hand corner. She then goes on to insinuate that the only thing men care about is money, and that women would “take over” when asked about other areas of life. After an awkward and unnecessary pronouncement of sexuality, the host mocks the gentleman before allowing him to get a word in. The rest is what you have to see for yourself.

I Can’t Believe We Made It
If you were a kid in the 50’s,60’s,70’s or early 80’s this is a salute to you from radio station 107.9 WSRZ in Sarasota, Florida. I grew up in the 70’s and early 80’s and have fond memories of many things that today would be considered unsafe for kids. The high dive at the local YMCA pool is just one example not to mention jumping the Big Wheel and my bike off make shift ramps without a helmet. Congratulations to all those who survived!
Maryland's minimum wage and lead paint laws are about to change
If you're making a list of regulations that will affect businesses in Maryland in the new year, it probably includes pay and paint.
The first step in a series of state minimum wage increases is set to go into effect Jan. 1. So is a law expanding the number of apartments that will have to comply with Maryland's Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.
The minimum wage hike received all the press of late, as it became law earlier this year. It will push the minimum wage from the federal rate of $7.25 up to $8 per hour Jan. 1.

Never Take Gun Advice From A Liberal
What part of “Hey, Kids! Steal your parents’ guns and bring them to school!” sounds like a bad idea?
If you answered, “All of it,” you may be a conservative.
A San Francisco production company, Sleeper 13 Productions, created what they call a “Public Service Announcement” video in which a young boy sneaks into his parents’ bedroom, steals a handgun out of a dresser drawer and hides it in his backpack.
He then carries the gun onto the school bus and into a classroom. After class, he shocks the teacher at her desk by taking the gun out of his backpack and slamming it onto her desk.
“Can you take this away? I don’t feel safe with a gun in my house,” the boy pouts.
The “public service” ad then wraps with the tag line, “Our children deserve a safe world. Stop gun violence now.”
The company’s president and this ad’s producer, Rejina Sincic, has replied to outraged viewers on Twitter that she’s “entertained” by their comments.
Liberals are not “entertained” by police in schools or military recruiting in schools and have promoted zero tolerance laws that have outlawed skeet and trap club students from having unloaded shotguns in the trunks of their locked vehicles on campus.
Students have been expelled and denied graduation for such offenses.

Crab Drop In Easton To Be Broadcast Globally
EASTON — New York, London, Moscow, Beijing, Kolkata and downtown Easton, Md. are all among the places CNN will be broadcasting from to ring in the new year on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
From 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Gary Tuchman, CNN reporter and correspondent for Anderson Cooper 360, will be in downtown Easton showing the world Easton’s First Night Talbot festivities, including the 10th annual Crab Drop as part of CNNs “New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin.”
“Every year we try to find a different slice of Americana doing a different kind of drop. What people don’t realize is that there are hundreds of places in the United States that drop things for New Year’s Eve. Everyone knows about Times Square,” Tuchman said. “But what we try to do each year is perhaps show something that the viewers around the world aren’t aware of.”
Among those slices of Americana covered by CNN have been the sardine drop in Eastport, Maine and the watermelon drop in Vincennes, Ind.

Carson: Recognition 'a Thug Is a Thug' Part of Needed Discussion on Policing
On Monday’s “The O’Reilly Factor” on the Fox News Channel, former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Ben Carson discussed the recent police controversies that have captured national attention and have led to questions about local police across the country.
Carson proposed “meaningful discussions,” part of which calls on both side acknowledging flaws. However, he particularly pointed out the need for communities to recognize that misdeeds have consequences.
“I think we need to have some meaningful discussions but we cannot have those unless both sides make some admissions,” Carson said. “The police and the group in authority have to admit that, you know, it’s not perfect and maybe there are some other things to look at. I’m very encouraged by the general agreement that body cameras would be good. Also, the community has to recognize that a thug is a thug. And, you know, when people do bad things, there are consequences for those. And, you know, it’s very disingenuous when you come up and take somebody who is doing illegal things and try to make them into a hero. What message does that send? When you have a legitimate gripe nobody is going to listen to you. We really cannot be doing things like that if we want to make progress.”

How a couple of glasses of red could help you live longer
Red wine could help us live longer, scientists have claimed - reviving a furious debate over an ingredient once dubbed the 'elixir of youth'.
Resveratrol, which protects red grapes, cacao beans and Japanese knotweed against infections and drought, has divided experts for a decade over reports it could make humans live longer.
Now a study claims it could prolong our lives after all, because it imitates another protective enzyme - and just a 'couple of glasses' of red wine may be enough to benefit.
The study, published in the journal Nature, claimed it was time to finally 'dispel much of the mystery and controversy about how resveratrol really works'.
Tests on mice previously showed resveratrol increased their lifespan and stamina and prevented diabetes, but critics complained it was being used in 'unrealistically high doses'.

As McAuliffe deals, Virginia workforce dwindles
RICHMOND, Va. – Virtually every week, Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s office announces new economic development ventures that purport to bring jobs to Virginia.
In fact, the number of working Virginians has been falling steadily since May.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 80,068 fewer Virginians held jobs in November, the latest month for which data were available.
Though the state’s official unemployment rate inched down from 5.1 percent to 5.0 percent, the number of working Virginians dropped from a high of 4,336,402 in May to 4,256,334 last month – a 1.8 percent dip.
“One explanation for the decline in labor-force participation is that as Baby Boomers age, more Americans are in retirement,” suggested the Center for American Progress.
“But the fact that we see the same trend among 25- to 54-year-olds, people in their prime working years, makes this theory hard to support,” said Michael Madowitz and Jackie Odum, researchers at the “progressive” center.

History Doesn't Have to be Boring
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor”
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low
The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell . ...... . Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting Married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof... Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would Sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive... So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.
And that's the truth....Now, whoever said History was boring?

Road Salt Contributes To Toxic Chemical Levels In Streams
This is the time of year when it's not uncommon to see big trucks barreling down highways and streets spreading road salt.
Steve Corsi, a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, says that translates into high levels of chloride concentrations for rivers like the Milwaukee in Wisconsin or 18 other streams near urban areas in Illinois, Ohio, Colorado and several other states.
"At many of the streams, concentrations have now exceeded those that are harmful to aquatic life," he says.
Corsi says that's especially true during the winter. He and other scientists analyzed chloride levels dating back to 1960 but primarily from the 1990s to 2011. The number of times they found toxic levels of chloride doubled over the two decades.
He says there's plenty of reasons for the increase. "We have lots of businesses that have parking lots and sidewalks and such, we have residents who have driveways and sidewalks and a lot of people use road salt."

Scientists Discover That Drunk Birds Sing Like Drunks
If you've ever listened to karaoke at a bar, you know that drinking can affect how well someone can sing. Christopher Olson and his colleagues at Oregon Health and Science University recently set out to find if the same was true for birds, specifically zebra finches.
"We just showed up in the morning and mixed a little bit of juice with 6 percent alcohol, and put it in their water bottles and put it in the cages," Olson told All Things Considered's Arun Rath. "At first we were thinking that they wouldn't drink on their own because, you know, a lot of animals just won't touch the stuff. But they seem to tolerate it pretty well and be somewhat willing to consume it."
The finches long have been used as a model to study human vocal learning, or how people learn to communicate using language, Olson said. Obviously, alcohol affects human speech, so Olson and his team checked for similar problems with the birds.

President Obama's Hawaii vacation: Day 7
President Obama woke up the day after Christmas for a session in the gym and a trip to the beach with his family.
He exercised at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii before joining wife Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha under the sunny skies at the Bellows Air Force Station in Waimanalo.
Later in the day, after a week of golfing, the president hit the links again with friends Greg Orme, Bobby Titcomb and Mike Ramos, the White House said. This time, they played at the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club in Kailua, a lush course with views of the Koolau Mountains. The club is currently under renovation and only has nine holes open, according to its website.
On the way back to the Kailua vacation home on Friday, a child sat on a shirtless man's shoulders watching the passing motorcade and children jumped on a trampoline.
After waking up on Christmas morning the family gathered in their home to open Christmas gifts and sing carols, the White House said.
After a few cloudy and rainy days, a sun-soaked Christmas meant that they could return to the beach.
