Salon Scrubs Story Of ‘Anti-Muslim’ Arson Arrest In Houston (After Finding Out Was Muslim Arrested)…

Attorneys representing Ahmed Mohamed and his family want an apology and $15 million in damages after his arrest in September. The former MacArthur High School freshman was accused of bringing an item that looked like a bomb to school. It turned out to be a clock.… …

Yes, "turned out to be a clock," a clock dismantled and shoved in a case to look just like bombs look. Nice bomb prototype, Ahmed, but you couldn't bring it into the White House!

Here’s Dan Rather, insisting to this day that the Rathergate story was true: “Our story was true…They couldn’t attack the truth of the story, so they attacked the process by which we arrived at the truth — was it flawed? Yes, it was flawed. Was it more flawed than it should have been? Yes. Am I responsible for some of that? Yes. This is the point: The story was true. It was true then, it was true now.” …

The man who never get over having shot himself in the foot is aiming for the other one.

…Why did CNN need to change the complexion (color) of their broadcast? Why is no-one showing pictures of mom, Laurel Margaret Harper. Why change to hyphenated name?…

Sundance at Conservative Treehouse/Last Refuge (whatever it is) asks the intriguing questions about the media's (mass and social) cover-ups, and digs for answers.

Note (Oct 5): That CNN doctored the photo is in question. CNN has said they've never run a picture of the shooter. There's no source link for the changed photo that I've found so far.

So, you remember how in Wednesday’s debate, Carly Fiorina gave an impassioned response regarding the problem of drug abuse in the country by mentioning how she and her husband lost a child to drug addiction?

Well, the Left’s “Debunk a Republican Deployment Team” was quickly dispatched to dispute Carly’s “claim.”

You see, it wasn’t her daughter. Carly has never had any children. Rather, it was her step daughter.…

This is what passes for a stinging rebuke from the Left.

By heavens, she'll never recover from this one...!?!?!

The father of a three-year-old Syrian boy whose body washed up on a Turkish beach is denying allegations that he was the captain of the vessel that capsized killing at least 12 people, including his family.

An Iraqi couple who lost two of their three children in the tragedy have alleged that after the accident, Abdullah Kurdi begged them not to tell Turkish police that he was operating the boat.

…Sutter found a lot of Oklahomans who disagreed with what 97 percent of climate scientists say is demonstrable fact: “Climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities.”

In interviews with Sutter — who, in full disclosure, writes and produces videos for a CNN opinion section called “2 degrees” and is a personal friend — Woodward residents called human-caused climate change a “big fat lie” and “propaganda.”…

NPR spinning their hardest. The 97% is BS. Anthro Gen Climate Chaos is nonsense. Average Oklahomans aren't that dumb.

Harvard professor Robert Putnam… "The obvious fact is that over the last 30 years, most organized religion has focused on issues regarding sexual morality, such as abortion, gay marriage… This is the most obvious point in the world. …not at all focused on issues of poverty. …

The president himself joined in the mendacious chorus: “Despite great caring and concern,” [Obama] said, “when it comes to what are you really going to the mat for… [blah blah blah] … [fighting poverty] is often times viewed as a 'nice to have' relative to an issue like abortion.” … Pat Fagan and Rob Schwarzwelder have the numbers for you: Broadly speaking, American churches are incredibly generous to the needs of a hurting world. …

Liberals are so hell bent on ridding the world of white, we decided to help them decide what to ban next, now that the Confederate flag, the supposed symbol of White Supremacy.

Mega-retailers have confirmed their loyal membership in the liberal Establishment and their willingness to join in an ideological war of annihilation against the very concept of the South by refusing to sell Confederate flag merchandise. This confirms that like Big Advertising, Big Retail is far more concerned with advancing the liberal agenda than with making money, because thanks to the authorities’ big push to suppress it, the rebel flag is selling better than ever…

Pastor Clementa Pinckney … While the mainstream media is decrying the fact that the Charleston shooting victim’s body was carried past a Confederate flag today, the good pastor may not have found it all that offensive.

In 2000, during his first term in the South Carolina State Senate, Pinckney actually voted in favor of H5028, the May 2000 compromise which placed the flag at its current location.…

Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice:

“What has happened over the last several weeks, by virtue of the invitation that was issued by the Speaker [John Boehner] and the acceptance of it by Prime Minister Netanyahu two weeks in advance of his election, is that on both sides, there has now been injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, I think it’s destructive of the fabric of the relationship.

“It’s always been bipartisan. We need to keep it that way. We want it that way. I think Israel wants it that way. The American people want it that way. When it becomes injected or infused with politics, that’s a problem.”
