THE NFL HAS BECOME A CIRCUS OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Do you remember when the NFL actually used to be about football? Do you remember when the NFL actually used to be about football? The NFL has become a reflection of society at large, and it has been disgusting to watch the transformation take place. And I am not talking about the reprehensible behavior of players such as Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy. The things that each of those men are accused of doing are absolutely horrible, and each one of them should have the opportunity to be held accountable for their actions in a court of law. But what I am talking about is how the NFL has become a circus of political correctness. These days, there is very little talk about what is ...

'13 Hours' Author: CIA Held Commando Team Back in Benghazi Tuesday, 09 Sep 2014 06:55 PM By Sean Piccoli A former commando hired by the CIA to defend a U.S. embassy post in Libya told Newsmax TV on Tuesday that he and his team lost critical and potentially life-saving minutes by being ordered to sit idle while the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi was under attack. Mark Geist, one of five security contractors who co-wrote the new book "13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi" told "MidPoint" host Ed Berliner that his team's account of what happened that night in 2012 should be judged by the fact that it comes from ...

According to NBC’s Peter King and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, NFL officials called teams around the league to gauge interest in signing Michael Sam to their practice squad. Yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys signed Sam, who is trying to become the first openly gay player in NFL history. King reported this during the pre-game show on NBC prior to the Seahawks/Packers season opener Thursday night. “The Rams waived Michael Sam, the first openly gay player trying to make an NFL roster, he was unemployed for two days,” King said. “During that time a league official contacted multiple teams asking if they had evaluated Sam as a probable practice squad player.” “Now ...

If you don’t practice then Obama SHOULD take your handgun away Posted by: Jon Dougherty August 14, 2014 When it comes to self-defense, the best handgun in the world won’t be much good to you if you don’t know its capabilities and are not skilled in its use. That’s why training and practice drills are vitally important; they are the keys to being both fast and proficient with your weapon. Training of individual movements will make you both fast and consistent; drills will familiarize you with your own ability, and will contribute to your speed and accuracy. These, combined with tactics, will make you better prepared to handle yourself in a ...

Surge In Government Job Creation, Most Since August 2008, Offset By Private Jobs Decline Adds To ADP Confusion

Moments after the outlier ADP private payrolls jobs number, the highest since November 2012, was released Gallup offered its own poll-based take on the US jobs market with the release of its monthly US Jobs Creation Index. To some this useful datapoint may explain the ADP-reported surge in hiring, although a more nuanced read simply add to the confusion. According to the headling job creation index, June saw a +27 print, the same as May, and tying the highest score of job creation in the six year history of the index. Here is how the index measures "job creation": Gallup's Job Creation Index is a measure of net hiring activity in the U.S., with the monthly average based on a ...

California Chrome, Commanding Curve And The Question Of Pedigree
Post Date: 2014-06-06 16:40:16 by scrapper2
3 Comments
As 2014 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, California Chrome sits poised to make a historic run at the first Triple Crown since 1978 at the Belmont Stakes. However, questions are swirling. There are a couple of things going in California Chrome’s favor, as well as some new issues to face. One of the biggest tools in California Chrome’s arsenal is his amazing late break. As seen in both the Derby and the Preakness, he is able to come around a third turn with plenty of gas in the tank. Both wins came from jockey Victor Espinoza holding the reins until the last turn up, and putting his horse to full throttle. This is a rare thing and has a perfect explanation. California ...

How many children, old people, and law-abiding citizens have to be injured, terrorized or killed before we call a halt to the growing rash of police violence that is wracking the country? How many family pets have to be gunned down in cold blood by marauding SWAT teams before we declare such tactics off limits? And how many communities have to be transformed into military outposts, complete with heavily armed police, military tanks, and “safety” checkpoints before we draw that line in the sand that says “not in our town”? The latest incident comes out of Atlanta, Georgia, where a SWAT team, attempting to execute a no-knock drug warrant in the middle of the night, ...
Are You Talking to a Provocateur?

The imagined look and persona of an agent provocateur in most people’s minds probably couldn’t be further from the truth. Most would probably picture the obscure, silent individual lurking in the back of the room while doing his best to conceal his identity and his movements. If you accept that image, you have also accepted the notion that the provocateur is really just peeking in on, documenting, and recording pre-existing criminal activities and shady plans going on around him. You haven’t faced the reality that the whole show is the production of the provocateur. Once you realize that the momentum, the force, the ideas, and the infrastructure of an event are suggested, ...

The States Where You Can Get Jailed for Recording the Cops Massachusetts, where a woman got in trouble recently for documenting her arrest, isn’t alone It’s becoming increasingly commonplace to record every part of your life. Not only birthday parties and beautiful sunsets, but also all the events and non-events in between. But as with many modern, tech-driven behaviors, the law hasn’t progressed as fast as the technology, leaving people exposed to arrest for behavior that seems natural and innocuous to them. Karen Dziewit, a 24-year-old woman living in Chicopee, Massachusetts, was arrested on Sunday for drunken disorderly conduct when she was caught drinking outside ...

The Boston Celtics have hired Darren Erman, who was a coaching associate for four years during Doc Rivers' tenure, as director of NBA scouting, according to a story first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. Erman had been an assistant coach, focusing on defense, with the Golden State Warriors until he was fired three weeks ago. According to reports, Erman's termination resulted from his taping one or more conversations involving other Warriors coaches, whom Erman may have suspected were attempting to undermine him. Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge told The Boston Globe that he was not concerned about the circumstances of Erman's departure ...
Former NFL QB Earl Morrall dies

MIAMI -- Earl Morrall, an NFL quarterback for 21 years who started nine games during the Miami Dolphins' perfect season in 1972, has died. He was 79. The Dolphins confirmed Morrall's death Friday. Former teammate Charlie Babb said Morrall had been in failing health for some time. When Bob Griese broke his ankle in 1972, Morrall came off the bench and started the final nine games of the regular season for the Dolphins. Morrall won praise from coach Don Shula for his willingness to step aside when Griese returned for the AFC Championship Game. Griese started in the Super Bowl and helped Miami finish 17-0. That remains the only unbeaten season in NFL history. Morrall also played ...

A Coup in Crimea—or in Russia?
Post Date: 2014-03-20 05:58:59 by Ada

As has been foreshadowed for weeks, Vladimir Putin has “reunited” Crimea with Russia. Putin spoke resonantly of the deep historical ties between Moscow and Crimea. One need not go back, as Putin did, 1,000 years to see it: Crimea’s “Russian-ness” is quite visible in, for instance, the memoirs of Winston Churchill, who opens his chapter on the Yalta Conference (held in February 1945— perhaps the last time Russian, British, and American leaders were on good terms) with the following: The Soviet headquarters at Yalta were in the Yusopov Palace, and from this centre Stalin and Molotov carried on the government of Russia and control of their immense front, now in ...
A land of low-wage jobs: For every job that pays above the low-wage threshold of $15 an hour you have 7 job-seekers. 51.4 million low-wage jobs in U.S.

The Great Recession has only accelerated deeper structural changes to our economy when it comes to low-wage employment. While many good paying jobs were lost during the Great Recession many of the new jobs have come in the form of low-wage employment. Large organizations have used this slack in the market to reduce wages, cut benefits, and ultimately increase profits at the expense of the American worker. A Job Gap Study found that close to 40 percent of all U.S. employment pays $15 or less. The threshold changes in terms of inflationary pressures on housing, food, and other items but this is the largest share of our workforce that is now struggling to meet the daily costs of living. This ...
