From the Archdiocese of Washington tonight:

The Archdiocese of Washington is pleased that today the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an injunction that prevents the Archdiocese and its affiliates from having to choose between paying crippling fines or facilitating the provision of abortion-inducing drugs, sterilizations, and contraceptives to their employees. The order prohibits the government from enforcing the HHS mandate’s objectionable requirements against the Archdiocese and its co-appellants pending further order from the court.   (link)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Catholic organizations made a last-minute effort Tuesday to get the Supreme Court to block portions of President Obama’s health care law that will force them to provide health insurance for students and employees that includes birth control.
Several organizations, including the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Washington, the Catholic Diocese of Nashville, Catholic University and the Michigan Catholic Conference, asked justices to block the law until their arguments are heard. Parts of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, go into effect on Wednesday. (more…)

According to CNN’s Mark Lamont Hill, Mitt Romney was “exploiting” his family members by having a family picture taken for Christmas – Therefore it is appropriate for MSNBC to mock the black baby, merely “exploiting” the race of the family being “exploited”…. or something.

At Least someone realized the broadcast was mocking !

I am sorry. Without reservation or qualification. I apologize to the Romney family. #MHPapology

Da da da… da da…. I’m thuggin it !

Initially thinking this was a spoof I found the source article for confirmation.  It’s real and coincidentally in Virginia, yet again, as reported by the Virginia Pilot  (click here)
VIRGINIA – […]  A motivated Tevin Kievelle Monroe strolled into a Norfolk (Virginia) McDonald’s restaurant and asked the manager for a job application. The manager informed him (twice) that the application process was handled online.
While most of us would’ve thanked the manager and exited the store to complete the application online, Monroe was determined to obtain a physical, on-site application.
He was so determined that he lifted his shirt and revealed to the manager an item that was tucked in his waistband. And no, it wasn’t a resume…it was a gun.  Upon seeing the gun, the quick-thinking manager asked Monroe to have a seat while she searched for an application.
Remarkably, he complied. (more…)

One odd incident might lend a person to ignore completely.  Like a flu that results in a slip n fall, which results in a concussion, which results in a “blood clot”…. all happening just before you are scheduled to testify before a congressional committee on Benghazi that might just contain questions that would destroy your carefully controlled career.

[…]  Sources close to the congressional investigation who have been briefed on what Thompson will testify tell Fox News the veteran counterterrorism official concluded on Sept. 11 that Clinton and Kennedy tried to cut the counterterrorism bureau out of the loop as they and other Obama administration officials weighed how to respond to — and characterize — the Benghazi attacks.  (link)

Two mysterious incidents, meh, maybe a little more attention.  Like, well, a fire that breaks out above your office in the State Department, and only above YOUR office – During the Thanksgiving holiday when no-one is around.

November 2012 – ….. an unusual fire breaks out, on a long holiday weekend, in the State Department building, in Washington DC, on the Seventh Floor [Office of the Secretary of State], and Eighth Floor [State Reception and only Public Tour venue] ……  You just can’t make this stuff up.  (link)

The Green Ice Trackers, who were studying the scope of Antarctic sea ice, are stuck in the Ice because the Antarctic sea ice has grown too large to escape; the ice is at record breaking magnitudes.    Two rescue attempts have failed.  The ship will have to be abandoned and scientists rescued by Helicopter.

The Antarctic sea ice has never been as vast as currently recorded.  But the daily humor is inside the reporting the scientists are making while stuck in the record breaking ice.   “Sea Ice Is Shrinking Due To Global Warming“….   D’oh ! Pay no attention to the record breaking stuff around us…  it’s shrinking,… swear.

This does not surprise me at all based on the location, Charlottesville Virginia.   It was Virginia where the police refused to release the 911 call tapes from the Virginia-Pilot Reporters being beaten by dozens of thugs while they shouted “Justice for Trayvon”.   
Virginia law enforcement are simply PC paralyzed and unable to discuss the race of criminals in their jurisdiction..

CHARLOTTESVILLE – A couple’s late night stroll on the Christmas-lit Downtown Mall turned to terror in the early morning hours of Friday, December 20, when they were brutally assaulted by three men in what appears to have been a random act of violence.

Even though one of the victims, Jeanne Doucette, managed to take photos that appear to show the assailants as they kicked and pummeled her boyfriend Marc Adams to unconsciousness, Charlottesville Police still do not have any suspects. (more…)

Chattanooga Police arrest 32 violent criminals, drug dealers, and illegal gun sellers in a comprehensive multi-year sweep of criminals. The 32 people arrested in the crack down are all black. Immediately the regional discussion focuses on why all the arrests were black. Instead of addressing why the black community is killing itself, and others, with the drug dealing, drug culture use, violence etc. the community becomes more concerned with the race of the criminals against the backdrop of the arrests.

The Black Grievance Industry focuses on the perception of it being unfair to arrest unlawful members of society – because most, in this case all, of the unlawful members participating in the activity are black.

(News Channel 9) — Passions boil over at a community forum Thursday night where residents say a racial divide is splitting the city of Chattanooga. The forum was aimed at cutting down crime in the city.
It quickly turned from a discussion about fighting crime to an outburst of frustrations. (more…)

By now everyone is well aware of the New York Times article trying to point the blame of responsibility away from al-Qaeda in Benghazi Libya; the attacks on the U.S. compound in Benghazi which led to the death of FOUR Americans.
EVERYONE with a scintilla of intellectual honesty knows the Times Article is pure deflective Pro-Hillary propaganda.
It does not take words to destroy their insufferable claims.

Because the economics behind this holiday season reflect the reality of fundamental change you probably will not see them discussed too much within the mainstream news; it just doesn’t fit the recovery narrative.
However, you don’t have to be an economist to understand Christmas expenditures.  It’s generally accurate that if your family spent less, the entire nation probably spent less for the exact same reason.
The worse news yet to reflect in the macro roll-up centers around Gift Card use.   Gift cards are not accounted for as economic sales on the shopping ledger until they are redeemed.  That statistic is yet to be determined.
(Via CBS)  […]  Deep discounts and extended hours could not get Americans to spend as much as stores expected this holiday season, so now retailers are cutting prices even more.
“Retailers overshot the mark, in terms of apparel supply,” said retail analyst Craig Johnson. “So there’s an imbalance of supply and demand in apparel, leading to all the dramatic promotions you’re seeing today.” (more…)

NEW YORK – CNN chief Jeff Zucker stressed in a year-end memo to staff that more changes are coming to the network in 2014.
“If you thought we did a lot in 2013, wait until you see 2014,” Zucker wrote in a memo published by Deadline Hollywood. “Real change that transforms an organization doesn’t happen overnight. I have talked a lot about broadening the definition of news. You have seen the start of that, especially at CNN, where we have begun to introduce new series, documentaries and films to augment our best-in-class breaking news coverage.” (more…)
