KFC’s chicken-scented yule logs unleash 11 herbs and spices, sell out within hours
One of the more memorable holiday items of 2018 will probably have to be the chicken-scented yule logs from Kentucky Fried Chicken.
The chicken chain restaurant launched its own KFC-scented Enviro-Logs on Thursday, claiming that once burning, the logs will smell like the Colonel’s signature blend of 11 herbs and spices, Fox News reported.
It is amazing how so many government officials under investigation conveniently lose or destroy things that would be helpful to determine guilt.
Robert Mueller’s office wiped information off Lisa Page’s and Peter Strzok’s phones when they obviously knew that Congress and others would like to see the messages. I am sure that Mueller would be congenial if his targets wiped off stuff he wanted to see and said, Don’t worry! There was nothing important to see.
Lois Lerner’s computer conveniently crashed when she was being looked at for violating first amendment rights of Obama opponents.
Hillary’s computer was completely wiped clean, but she didn’t have to worry because she knew that Comey was there and would forgive Hillary’s violations of the law by saying essentially that she wasn’t smart enough to follow the law so she didn’t have to.
It is well known that Hillary handed out access for money, but almost six years after she left office, I still haven’t see any prosecution.
Not only did Obama sell access and jobs for donations, but his administration had multiple slush funds for political purposes and to reward supporters. Where are the prosecutors and investigative reporters?
Meanwhile, Trump is being continuously investigated while Obama continues to say there were no scandals or prosecutions while he was in. It helps to have a complicit Justice Department and media.
Maybe Trump should have set up a war room with campaign staffers and campaign money and hired private eyes to destroy the women who accused Bill Clinton, as Hillary did, instead of paying them off quietly with private funds, as Trump did. Then the media, Democrats, and the Justice Department would say it’s OK and support him, as they did the Clintons for decades. Is my assumption correct?
Workers Stage Rally At Amazon Warehouse In Shakopee
During the heart of the holiday season, Somali Amazon workers staged a protest and rally against the company they say is not responding to community demands. Joining them Friday evening at an Amazon warehouse in Shakopee will be U.S. Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar, who’s the first Somali-American and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress.
After meeting twice with Amazon management, members of its East African workforce say they were forced to stage this rally.
What they want are safe jobs and respect for Amazon’s majority East African workforce — 60 percent of Amazon’s 3,000 workers in the area are East African. They want Amazon to be fair when dealing with them when it comes to productivity.
Workers say its hard to reach that 230 item an hour requirement because their time is interrupted when they leave the production line for prayer. Muslim workers are given paid leave for prayers breaks, a requirement by state law.
This group wants Amazon to promote workers from their majority East African workforce and to use profits to fund initiatives that address issues like lack of safe and affordable housing.
They believe Amazon should work with it’s Somali workers to reduce economic disparity in the community it heavily recruits from.
The workers are being represented by the nonprofit Awood Center. But the Star Tribune reports the two sides have not resolved their differences, which include increasing workloads and limited advancement opportunities.
He’s not the most powerful politician in Illinois by accident.
An incoming freshman legislator from west suburban Naperville — who campaigned on a promise to vote against Mike Madigan as speaker — says she is receiving warnings from Democratic lawmakers and unions that a “no” vote on his leadership bid will lead to retaliation against her.
State Rep.-elect Anne Stava-Murray told the Sun-Times she has received many calls, with many following a “script.”
In addition, she says that at a dinner featuring lawmakers she and other freshman legislators were “forcibly kissed” — although she didn’t immediately elaborate on that situation.
In a lengthy text message Stava-Murray wrote to Jessica Basham, Madigan’s chief of staff, the new lawmaker said that she has “fielded several calls from colleagues seeking to change my mind about my vote that had made me actively worry about retaliation if I didn’t ‘choose my battles wisely’ and if I ‘started off on the wrong foot.’”
Venezuelans Lament Gun Ban: Allows Government to Dominate Them
As violent as the left is by nature, imagine if we did not have the means to defend ourselves.
The ban was passed under Hugo Chavez and then bolstered with $47 million for enforcement under Nicolas Maduro. The penalty for “illicit carrying or selling a weapon now is 20 years behind bars.”
In addition to the threats from their own government, Venezuelans now face a surging violent crime rate. For example, fewer than 10,000 people were murdered in Venezuela in 2012, the year the gun ban was put in place. Thereafter the death numbers began to climb; “28,000 people were murdered” in Venezuela in 2015.
In the United States, the Founding Fathers put the Second Amendment in place for the explicit purpose of guaranteeing the citizens could defend themselves from their own government. In Federalist 46, James Madison made clear that Americans are exceptional because armed.
As Never-Trumper Bill Kristol has learned the hard way.
The Weekly Standard, a 28-year old neoconservative institution, is reportedly headed towards dissolution after its founder, Bill Kristol, devoted almost three years of work to attacking the President and his supporters.
It’s not just Kristol. The entire world of clickbait Trump-hate seems to be in jeopardy, including sites that cater to the liberal base.
On cable TV, one network in particular has abandoned decades of journalistic tradition and ethics, devoting its resources to a relentless, nakedly partisan crusade to savage President Trump: CNN. Its ratings, predictably, are in the tank — in October, CNN fell behind both the Hallmark Channel and Home and Garden Television.
VIDEO: “It’s not a crime.” — Obama had a much bigger campaign finance issue and all he got was a slap on the wrist.
CLINTON FOUNDATION HEARINGS: Democrats are pathetic — The House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations is holding a hearing on Capitol Hill on the Clinton Foundation today. Mark Meadows (R-NC), the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Government Operations, will lead. Three Clinton Foundation whistleblowers are speaking, as well as Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch. In a bid to divert attention away from the Clinton crime family, Democrats brought in a “whistle-blower” from the Trump Foundation to testify. Mind you, the Clinton Foundation has been under investigation for ages. Also, the Trump Foundation has given away more than it collected. But TRUMP! ::smh::
BODY LANGUAGE: Government Shutdown Trump, Pelosi & Schumer— I wondered why Chuck was all hunched over. Pelosi and Schumer both sound like toddlers, not responding to Trump with new points, but rather repeating the same things again and again.
FOLLOW UP ON THE MEETING: CNN’s “fact check” got fact checked — Trump told Pelosi and Schumer, “People are pouring into our country, including terrorists…. We caught 10 terrorists over the last very short period of time. Ten. These are very serious people … that were looking to do harm.” CNN, never wanting to miss an opportunity to embarrass the president, reported: “DHS did not provide evidence of a single terrorist caught at the southern border over the very last short period of time as the president claimed.” Department of Homeland Security Spokesman Tyler Q. Houlton took to Twitter to tell us that CNN never reached out. Also, “DHS prevented 3,755 known or suspected terrorists from traveling to or entering the U.S. in FY 17. That’s in addition to 17,526 criminals, 1,019 gang members, and 3,028 special interest aliens.”
RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! — In 2010, as former President Bill Clinton prepared to collect a $500,000 payday in Moscow for giving a single speech, Clinton Foundation foreign policy adviser Amitabh Desai wrote to the State Department — then headed by SecState Hillary Clinton — for permission to meet with key business and government folks involved in the Russian nuclear energy firm Rosatom’s efforts to buy a bunch of our uranium. The email went to two of Hillary Clinton’s most senior advisers, Jake Sullivan and Cheryl Mills. Ultimately, the ex-president’s aides and the State Department decided not to hold any of these meetings. Instead, Bill Clinton got together with Vladimir Putin at the Russian leader’s private homestead.
JUDICIAL WATCH: Weekly Update “What an unholy mess” — President Tom Fitton discusses a BIG court ruling on Clinton emails, a NEW Clinton Foundation lawsuit, Comey testifying to Congress, plus Mueller special counsel abuses continue. I hope Tom Fitton has a body guard.
JUDICIAL WATCH: Breaking — Judicial Watch today released documents showing that Obama weaponized the State Department to kick off the Democrat’s non-stop unethical effort to discredit the incoming Trump Administration. Specifically, the Obama State Department provided classified Russia investigation information to Democrat members of Congress immediately prior to Trump’s inauguration.
SCRATCH A LIBERAL: From Stilton — Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski (whose last name is the single most valuable word you can play in Scrabble) made an unfortunate on-air faux pas Wednesday, when she called Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “a wannabe dictator’s butt boy.” It’s another case in which if you scratch a liberal (and frankly, we think that’s always a good idea), you quickly find the kind of deep-rooted intolerance and bigotry that they accuse others of having.
THANK U MR. PRESIDENT: Children saved from abortion— During next January’s March for Life in Washington, D.C., pro-lifers will be bringing thank you letters and cards to President Trump from children all across America whose lives were saved from abortion. One of the organizers says, “Our hope is to have a face-to-face (meeting) with President Trump and Vice President Pence” so that the children saved from abortion can hand-deliver the letters to him. We constantly hear from pro-choice activists ‘(motherhood) will ruin your life. And now we have these mothers with their children – who are in high school, who are productive – their lives are not ruined. They’re celebrating their children. And I actually think that these children are perhaps the greatest witness toward overturning Roe.”
ELECTRIC CARS: The immoral choice — Not only are electric cars predominantly charged with nuclear and/or fossil fuel power, but also the batteries in them are built on the backs of an army of children, some as young as four years old, who work in polluted mines for pennies a day.
SMUT INDUSTRY: New Trump AG worries them — The porn industry is worried about the enforcement of obscenity laws now that President Trump has nominated William Barr, a “staunch Catholic conservative” to head the Justice Department. Barr was a vigorous enforcer of obscenity laws when he was Attorney General under President George H. W. Bush in the early 1990s.
MARRIAGE TO GHOST IS OVER: Earlier this year, an Irish woman married the ghost of a 300-year-old Haitian pirate named Jack. The wedding to her ‘soulmate’ took place on board a boat in international waters off the Irish coast. She recently let us all know that the marriage is over. She posted to social media, “I will explain all in due course but for now all I want to say is be VERY careful when dabbling in spirituality, it’s not something to mess with.” Ya think?
ROFLLL: I ❤ Toothless!! –– Long-lost audition tape featuring Toothless and Kit Harington, the actor who won the part of Eret, Son of Eret in the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy.
CNN election analyst on Dems’ 2020 race: “I am not sure it’s the time to nominate a white man”
Enten’s not giving you his personal take on white male candidates writ large or white men in general, he’s saying that to Democratic primary voters being a traditional white male candidate may be more of a liability than an asset at this point. Which is true. By the time 2020 gets here, it’ll be 16 years since they’ll have nominated one for president and almost 24 years since they successfully elected one president.
And because the left measures all things in terms of “progress,” nominating a white guy after the trailblazing candidacies of Obama and Hillary will be seen by some as a “step back.” Activist righties spend much of their time nowadays complaining about the left’s obsession with identity politics, with good reason, but that’s exactly Enten’s point in the segment. Identity politics will matter next year in the primary. A lot.
Almost 30 Percent Think Santa Claus Should Be Female Or Gender Neutral
We are not far from all the holiday traditions we grew up with being banned or hideously mutated because some clown suffers from a bad case of butthurt.
“Modern Santa” has tattoos, a stylishly-trimmed beard, skinny jeans, sneakers, and a hoverboard. He’s tech-savvy and looks like he could easily feature in GQ magazine.
A new survey found that over 27 percent of people asked would rebrand Santa Claus as a woman or gender-neutral.
It’s not hard to figure what they’re up to. They’re looking for an excuse to take his old returns to a crooked democrat judge to concoct some sort of impropriety. “Tax evasion!”…”Tax fraud!”…”Impeach him!”
Democratic Rep. Richard E. Neal, the next chairman of the tax panel, plans to insist that Trump release his tax returns, according to The Washington Post.
If the president does not voluntarily hand them over, Neal said he would make a request to the Treasury Department.
Democratic lawmakers have been requesting the filings to determine whether there are any conflicts of interest with his business dealings and possible income from Russia.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is also looking into Trump’s business dealings and income as part of his investigation.
