Cart-wheeling verger Ben Sheward rebuked by stodgy clerics after becoming wedding web sensation
Shame on the Abbey clerics for scolding the cart-wheeling verger. There’s nothing wrong with showing joy in God’s house.
I’m sure Jesus didn’t mind one bit! To be able to do cartwheels at his age, Ben derserves a medal.
Daily Mail reports the Westminster Abbey verger who became an internet sensation after cart-wheeling down the nave following the Royal Wedding has been rebuked by senior staff.
Sources at the Abbey said the man was feeling ‘fairly chastened’ after his impromptu display of acrobatics was caught on film.
Although he is unlikely to face any formal disciplinary action, Abbey staff have warned him not to speak publicly about the incident.
While the Abbey has refused to identify him, sources have disclosed he is Ben Sheward, who lives in South London.
The sources said Mr Sheward is believed to have worked at the Abbey for ten years, and he has previously been pictured welcoming new choirboys by sharing sweets with them.
According to some sources, he has studied music in New Zealand and is an expert on the composer Edward Elgar.
Mr Sheward waited until some 1,900 guests had left the Abbey before seizing his chance to cartwheel down the red carpet that William and Kate had just walked along for the first time as a married couple.
In the clip, the black-cassocked verger is shown strolling down the carpet.
As a number of apparent stragglers from the wedding service look on, he embarks on one cart-wheel, smiles, and then squeezes in at least one other before disappearing out of shot.
ITV cameras caught his antics, which were beamed to millions of viewers around the world, ensuring the unsuspecting verger became an international celebrity.
The clip had already attracted 100,000 internet hits yesterday, and comments on various websites had come from as far afield as the United States and Australia. One said: ‘I think this self-publicist should be sacked!’ Most, however, praised him.
A Westminster Abbey spokesman said: ‘The verger, like all of us, was very pleased the service had gone according to plan, and was expressing his exuberance.’ He emphasised that the incident occurred some time after the wedding had finished.
But Abbey officials were keen to prevent the story spreading further yesterday with one saying: ‘We are just trying to keep a lid on this one. The verger has been spoken to a number of times and has been advised how to handle the situation.’
The official denied, however, that the man was in hiding, saying the Abbey had not resorted to such extreme measures.
Yesterday there was no sign of Mr Sheward amid the thousands of visitors to Westminster Abbey.
One verger, who was greeting the crowds, said: ‘We all found it jolly good fun when we heard but I don’t think he anticipated all the publicity.
‘I believe he thought the cameras would have been turned off by that point. Now some visitors are expecting all vergers to be doing cart-wheels.’
Another Abbey worker added: ‘It was lovely, just lovely. It reflected the joy we were all feeling at that point. But he really isn’t looking to become a media star – he isn’t that kind of guy.’
All of the carpets, furniture, fixtures and fittings which had been brought in for the wedding had been cleared away by Friday night.
The only evidence of the nuptials yesterday – besides the larger-than-usual number of visitors – were the 20ft potted trees lining the aisle.
A verger is usually a layman who assists in the ordering of religious services, particularly in Church of England churches or cathedrals.
A verger’s main role is to lead processions during services, and they often play a prominent part behind the scenes, helping to plan the logistical details of a service and discreetly shepherding the clergy through it. But they have a variety of other functions, from acting as odd-job men to guiding tourists around the buildings.
The office’s title comes from the ceremonial rod which a verger carries, a virge, from the Latin virga, meaning branch, staff or rod.

Tempers flare and shoes are thrown at Pastor Terry Jones' Dearborn rally
Terry Jones may be out there, but not everything he has to say is off base. I have a problem with Muslims who refuse to assimilate to American culture no differently than if it were any other group.
But, Islam is the chic religion of the Left. As far as I’m concerned Islam is not a religion of peace at all. They put a much higher value on death and martyrdom which is why they have no problem strapping bombs to babies.
That’s pretty sick if you ask me!
Detroit Free Press reports amid a heavy police presence, Pastor Terry Jones delivered a rambling speech Friday from the steps of Dearborn City Hall that lashed out at Islam and President Barack Obama, but much of his words were drowned out by the voices of a swarm of protesters across the street who called him a bigot.
Jones repeatedly provoked the crowd and insulted them. At one point, he ignored police requests by ambling down to the front of police barricades while taunting his opponents.
Angered, some of those protesters stormed past their police barricades and marched across Michigan Avenue as they hurled bottles and shoes at Jones' supporters across from them. One woman spit in Jones' direction.
The young crowd then pushed down a security fence that separated them from Jones' supporters and surged forward, their faces tight with anger. For a moment, it appeared a major clash was about to break out.
But Arab-American leaders and police pushed back the angry group as dozens of police officers in full riot gear marched out in single file to separate the two sides. At least two were arrested. Dearborn Mayor John O'Reilly Jr. said afterward that Jones was responsible for creating the disturbance by ignoring city requests not to approach the barricade.
"He refused to comply," O'Reilly said. "He was asked, 'Please don't come to the barricade.' He just ignored us. ... His goal was to start trouble. ... That shows his character."

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Now Plans Big Political Role
This is not a good development! But, it wasn’t like people Sean Hannity didn’t see this coming. Look for Egyptian women to be treated like 2nd class citizens, but worse than that, Israel’s security is in grave danger.
This was never a Democratic uprising, but rather an Islamofacist takeover pure and simple.
The Blaze reports the once outlawed Muslim Brotherhood says it will contest half of the seats in Egypt’s parliamentary elections in September, revealing plans to become a major force in the country’s post-revolution politics.
The elections will be the first since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak by a popular uprising in February.
The Brotherhood remained Egypt‘s best organized opposition group despite a campaign by Mubarak’s regime to suppress it. It successfully fielded candidates in previous parliamentary elections as independents.
At a news conference Saturday, the Brotherhood named the leaders of its new Freedom and Justice party.
The party will test to what extent the Brotherhood is willing to moderate its rigid religious discourse to try to win broader political support.

Naked man in China shins down drainpipe as police raid brothel
They have a death penalty in China for messing with prostitutes. So, this guy did what he thought had to do to avoid capture with his pants and everything else down.
Do you feel a draft?
Daily Mail reports one moment he thought he was just an anonymous punter in a backstreet brothel.
The next he's in the nude hanging off a drainpipe after police burst into the brothel he was using in eastern China.
As the doors were smashed down the customer, leaving his clothes behind, ran on to the roof of the rundown apartment bloc in Changchun, Jilin province.
He then shinned down what appears to be a huge drainpipe and then ran off into the backstreets.
But he was not alone in making his escape. Moments after he appeared on the roof, two women - one just wrapped in a towel - could be seen running across the roof.
In the centre of the image another forlorn customer can be seen hiding behind a packing crate.
China has severe anti-prostitution laws and punishments including the death penalty for anyone guilty of human trafficking.

Rick Perry, Texas governor, rips Obama's trip to tornado-devastated Alabama: What about our fires?
I got a better point,Gov Perry!
Almost a year ago, Obama and the mainstream media virtually ignored the devastating flooding in Tennessee. He never visited there either.
I wonder if it’s because he lost Tennessee by double digits? Rush Limbaugh sure thought so.
New York Daily News reports as President Obama meets with Alabama families affected by deadly tornados that swept through the South earlier this week, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is asking: What about us?
The Republican, long a critic of the president, once again ripped the Obama administration Thursday. This time, he bashed Obama for not responding to an April 16 request for a declaration of emergency in the Lone Star State, where wildfires have destroyed nearly 2 million acres.
"You have to ask, 'Why are you taking care of Alabama and other states?'" said Perry.
Texas officials asked the White House to make the declaration, which would have allocated federal funds to help the state deal with the crisis.
"I know our letter didn't get lost in the mail," Perry added.

Black Chamber of Commerce Head Harry Alford: Obama is ‘Fanatical’ & ‘Marxist’ — I Only Voted for Him ‘Because He’s Black’
The Obama White House is starting a fake Black Chamber of Commerce to fool the public. Well, it’s gonna work with some Black folks, lets be real here.
However, it must be noted that Obama visited Al Sharpton in New York a few weeks ago. That’s a big change because two years ago when running for president Obama didn’t wanna be seen with Sharpton in public. So something is up with the Black vote.
The Blaze reports that Harry Alford is the president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. And boy is he entertaining. He’s also not a fan of many of the business positions Democrats have taken.
You might remember him for his fiery exchange with call-me-Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in 2009, when he accused the senator of infusing race into a congressional hearing:
Today he joined Laura Ingraham on her radio show to talk about Obama’s business policies. He started with this:
“Obama wanted the National Black Chamber to dance to his music and have blind allegiance to his crazy programs and agenda, which are totally anti-business. We are a pro-business organization. So we have to stand on the side of business, and the benefit of our members, which are black entrepreneurs.”
Eventually he got to calling Obama and the administration “Marxist” and “fanatical.”
“They might as well put on the brown shirts and swastikas,” he said.
But that’s not all. Alford also admitted he only voted for Obama “because he’s [Obama] black,” a move he now regrets.
“That is a lesson I will take to my grave,” he said solemnly, later saying Obama is “wrecking” the country and is “dangerous.”

GOP in Crisis: Testosterone deficiency leaves America on suicidal path
The problems of this country, massive deficient, insane spending, and morale decline will not be addressed by the Democrat Party because they’re policies are the root causes for the mess that we’re in.
The only group that can right this course is the GOP!
However, what the GOP doesn’t realize is that they have a serious lack men who aren’t afraid to fight. Too many of the guys on our side are timid and soft.
They think they can operate in the PC environment that Liberals have cleverly set up, and win. That’s why so many GOPers have already neutered themselves before the battle ever begins. They’re too cowardly to break out and throw caution to the wind and say what needs to be said.
What Donald Trump has done is expose and indict the Achilles' heel that’s infecting the party—lack of courage.
It’s a sad state of affairs and unless these guys in the GOP or any GOPer running for office puts their balls back on, the country is doomed forever.

Video: Incredible cart wheeling verger Ben Sheward down Abbbey aisle Royal Wedding
I promised myself that I wasn’t going to blog about the Royal Wedding. I didn’t get up at 4:00 am to watch it. But, I did switch to it after the Mets were losing to the Phillies.
Yeah, it was cool to watch.
But after I saw this story, I couldn’t resist anymore, so shoot me.
Daily Mail reports the relief of getting the wedding out of the way was etched not just on the faces of the people involved but also in the actions of one of the clergymen.
Verger Ben Sheward decided that after the majority of the guests had gone he would do some acrobatics and cartwheeled down the aisle at Westminster Abbey.
The joy of the nation was summed up in his actions caught on camera as ITV continued to film what was going on inside the abbey to millions of people watching worldwide.
That was fun to see!
Good luck, Will and Kate!

Why Trump resonates (F bomb speech) with Republicans and what GOPers should take from it
We already know that Donald Trump is a very successful businessman. We already know he’s a real leader that knows what it takes to create jobs in the “real world.” There’s nothing theoretical about the guy. He didn’t cut his teeth in the classrooms and hallways at Harvard like a certain community organizer in the White House.
He did it in the cold, no non-sense world of American and Global business where profits are the measure of how well the business is doing.
But, all that is not the reason he’s hitting home runs with voters poll after poll. Bottom line, cut to the chase, the reason why Republicans are gravitating to Trump is because he’s saying EVERTHING REPUBLICANS WANNA HEAR that the present GOP Washington-class leaders are TOO CFHICKEN SHIT to SAY.
It’s as simple as that and the sooner these feckless bastards in the GOP realize that the better ti will be for them. These GOP morons have to get it into their thick skulls that America wants bold leadership, not a bunch of “Me-too” “tits on a bull” Republicans that are too damn timid to take it to BaraCK Obama and the Democrats.
Now, I don’t know if Trump is running, he might not. But, if he does these other men in the race for the nomination better step up their game! And I’ll tell you this. I’m not worried about Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin because they already have more balls than Mitt Romney or Pawlenty.
Trump is the only male equivalent to Bachmann and Palin. That’s the damn problem with the GOP—too many weak ass, panty wearing, wanna be loved by the media guys like John Boehenr and Eric Cantor.
These metro sexual Republican RINOS needs to get the fuck out the Party and let real men like Allen West and Mark Rubio take over!

Obama “bans” reporter Carla Marinucci after she used smartphone to video tape protesters at DNC fund raiser
I guess the president doesn’t want the news to get out that he gets protestors at his events and it isn’t all love anymore for “The One!”
It’s only suppose to be worship and fainting at his very presence and he can’t have modern tech f’ening up his image that he’s work so hard on to fool the public at large.
SF Gate reports that the hip, transparent and social media-loving Obama administration is showing its analog roots. And maybe even some hypocrisy highlights.
White House officials have banished one of the best political reporters in the country from the approved pool of journalists covering presidential visits to the Bay Area for using now-standard multimedia tools to gather the news.
The Chronicle's Carla Marinucci - who, like many contemporary reporters, has a phone with video capabilities on her at all times - pulled out a small video camera last week and shot some protesters interrupting an Obama fundraiser at the St. Regis Hotel.
She was part of a "print pool" - a limited number of journalists at an event who represent their bigger hoard colleagues - which White House press officials still refer to quaintly as "pen and pad" reporting.
But that's a pretty Flintstones concept of journalism for an administration that presents itself as the Jetsons. Video is every bit a part of any journalist's tool kit these days as a functioning pen that doesn't leak through your pocket.
In fact, Carla and her reporting colleague, Joe Garofoli, founded something called "Shaky Hand Productions" - the semi-pro, sometimes vertiginous use of a Flip or phone camera by Hearst reporters to catch more impromptu or urgent moments during last year's California gubernatorial race that might otherwise be missed by TV.
The name has become its own brand; often politicians even ask if anyone from Shaky Hand will show at their event. For Carla, Joe and reporters at other Hearst newsrooms where Shaky Hand has taken hold, this was an appropriate dive into use of other media by traditional journalists catering to audiences who expect their news delivered in all modes and manners.
That's the world we live in and the President of the United States claims to be one of its biggest advocates.
Just the day before Carla's Stone Age infraction, Mr. Obama was at Facebook seated next to its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and may as well have been wearing an "I'm With Mark" t-shirt for all the mutual admiration going back and forth.

What the Lib media fails to accept is that Obama is a reality TV star, too!
There’s a term is psychology known as “projection” in which a person lays their own inner guilt over something upon someone else and blames them for the very thing they’re guilty of doing. It’s the cheating wife constantly accusing her husband of infidelity, or the fat slob counting how many times other people load up at the all you can eat food buffet.
Well, the same thing is true with the media’s dismissive attitude toward Donald Trump as just a reality TV star. First of all Trump was an extremely successful businessman 20 years before reality TV was ever invented. But, the bigger point is that there’s no bigger realty TV star than Barack Obama.
He got his big launch by Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. Gimmie a break here! There’s never been such lesser qualified candidate for president in the history of American politics. Obama never served as a governor, or mayor. He never ran a business—not even a lemon aide stand. Prior to his election, everything about Obma was based on optics and atmospherics. He dressed well and could a teleprompter better than anyone on the planet. But, take that teleprompter away and he thinks the United States is made of more than 57 states. He looks like a president should, calm, cool, collected. And enough stupid Americans, those that get their news from Jon Stewart, voted for him.
But, Barack Obama couldn’t fake the funk forever because although the media is powerful, they can’t do the job as president for him.
And now that he’s got a record of failure and disaster as president. The American people can row realize he’s really an empty suit that was always more sizzle than steak, or in other word, the Barack Obama as president reality show TV that’s taking America down the tubes!
There's no difference between Dog the Bounty Hunter and Barack Obama!

That is until a California Highway Patrolman took the Bible from his hands, arrested him, and told him he was guilty of preaching to a “captive audience.”

Obama declares state of emergency for tornados that rocked parts of Alabama death rises to 72
This is really tough to see. The power of God is something to behold. Look for the climater change nuts to crawl out the woodwork and blame man for this storm.
It has to be too much use of fossil fuels causing this strange weather, right? God has nothing to do with it?
Think again!
Daily Mail reports:
• Current death toll stands at 58 in Alabama, 11 in Mississippi, two in Georgia and one in Tennessee
• Alabama university town of Tuscaloosa one of worst hit areas and amazing video shows tornado hitting
• Louisiana police officer killed in Mississippi when a tree fell onto his tent as he shielded his young daughter
Severe weather across South could beat 1974 record of 148 tornadoes in 16 hours
Severe storms laced with tornadoes battered America’s South on Wednesday and killed at least 72 people across four states.
Fifty-eight people died in Alabama, 11 in Mississippi, two in Georgia and one in Tennessee - with parts of the city that is home to the University of Alabama destroyed by a gigantic tornado.
Homes and buildings across Tuscaloosa were taken apart, one hospital said its emergency room had admitted at least 100 people and a video showed paramedics lifting a child out of a flattened home.
The storm system spread destruction on Tuesday night and Wednesday from Texas to Georgia, and it is forecast to hit the Carolinas next and then move further northeast.
A state of emergency was declared in Alabama, where 15 were killed just in Birmingham, and drivers were abandoning their cars in Tuscaloosa as traffic was halted by downed trees and power lines.

Donald Trump forces Obama’s hand by forcing him to release his long form birth cert, Trump claims victory like a true Mack
We haven’t seen macking like this since Bill Clinton when Donald Trump boldly and without any hint of shame took credit for President Obama releasing his long form birth cert. It was a site to see the assembled press getting indignant with Trump for not cowering in a fatal position and eating crow.
But, a true Mack doesn’t do that!
So Trump snatched victory from the jaws of embarrassment and co-opted the moment into a victory dance. Meanwhile the Obama looks stupid by being bested by a reality TV star.
I agree with Rush Limbaugh who theorized that Obama saw the polling data was going the other way on the birth cert issue. The reason Obama didn’t release his BC in the first place was because it played to his advantage of portraying birthers as a fringe group and garner public sympathy.
However, recwnt polls said that as much as 38% of the American people and growing think Obama was born outside of the U.S. Those aren’t fridge numbers!
So Obama blinked!
Now, it’s time for Obama to release all his college transcripts to see what kind of student he really was.

Heckler Handcuffed at Allen West Townhall Is Former Air America Host
I like how Liberals really wanna get some face time at these town halls. So, in essence these are the entitlement minded people wanting to argue to continue getting free shit.
Palm Beach Post:
FORT LAUDERDALE — U.S. Rep. Allen West’s first town hall meeting since voting for a controversial Medicare proposal saw three hecklers removed — one in handcuffs — from a generally supportive crowd of about 500.
The Tuesday night meeting was West’s first meeting with constituents since his April 15 vote for a Republican budget that includes a revamping of Medicare.
West was less than a minute into his remarks tonight when two or three men began shouting from the audience.
“How about our Medicare that you’re stealing?” shouted one.
“How about allowing questions from the audience?” shouted another man, apparently dissatisfied with West’s decision to answer written questions submitted by audience members before the meeting.
Way to stand up West!

Pub singer Simon Ledger arrested for singing Kung Fu Fighting-It’s Racist
Political correctness is getting out of hand. We’ll get to the point where we won’t be able to even say Good Morning to each other for fear of offending somebody. .
The Sun reports a pub singer was arrested for alleged "racism" after belting out the chart hit Kung Fu Fighting as two Chinese people walked past.
One of them complained to cops, who later nicked stunned Simon Ledger - in a Chinese restaurant.
Simon, 34, often performs the song in Sandown, Isle of Wight. He said: "I hadn't even seen these two."
Now he fears he could get a criminal record.
Cops sprang into action and arrested Simon despite the fact that he regularly features the 1974 No1 in his act at a seaside pub.
Simon, who has performed on TV with Michael Barrymore, was doing a spot with a pal at the town's Driftwood Beach Bar on Sunday afternoon.
All went well until he began the Carl Douglas disco classic, with its famous Chinese-sounding riff.
Simon said: "We were performing Kung Fu Fighting, as we do during all our sets. People of all races were loving it. Chinese people have never been offended by it before.
"But this lad walking past with his mum called us w*****s and did the hand sign before taking a picture on his mobile phone.
"We hadn't even seen them when we started the song. He must have phoned the police.
"They phoned me when I was in a Chinese restaurant that night. They arranged to meet me and I was arrested.
I thought it was a joke but they were serious. They seemed pretty amazed but said the law is the law and it was their duty. It's political correctness gone potty."
Simon added: "There are plenty of Welsh people at our shows - does it mean I can't play any Tom Jones?"
Bar owner Sean Ware said: "The song is in no way racist and nor is Simon. There is no way he would abuse anyone.

Donald Trump: How did Barack Obama get into Ivy League schools as a bad student?
How is a person who said there were 57 states ever graduate Harvard? I’ve been more concerned about Obama’s college record, which he still hasn’t released to the public, more than anything else.
Perhaps he wasn’t as good a student as everyone thinks? Every other president has released his college records. It’s a standard thing to do.
But, not Obama, why?
Hidden bombshell? Maybe Obama got financial aide as a foreign student?
The Politico reports that Donald Trump is upping the ante against President Barack Obama's legitimacy, raising questions on Monday night about how the president was admitted to two Ivy League schools.
Trump openly questioned how Obama, who he said had been a "terrible student," got accepted into Columbia University for undergraduate studies and then Harvard Law School.
"I heard he was a terrible student, terrible," Trump told the Associated Press in an interview, a claim he's made in the past but one he doubled down on by suggesting he's probing that area of the president's life.
"How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard? I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records," he said, without providing backup for his claim.
Trump added, "I have friends who have smart sons with great marks, great boards, great everything and they can't get into Harvard."
"We don't know a thing about this guy," Trump said. "There are a lot of questions that are unanswered about our president."

Obama won’t produce birth certificate because it would reveal TRUE identity of his father: Hawaii senator’s extraordinary claim
So now we have yet another theory as to why Obama won’t release his long form birth certificated.
So much mystery surrounding the community organizer from the Southside of Chicago. How much longer does the American people have to wait for the truth?
I just love pissing Libs off at this point. It’s funny to see the veins budge from their necks whenever this issue comes up.
Daily Mail reports that a member of the Hawaii State Senate said today he believes Barack Obama is not releasing his long-form birth certificate because he may want to hide the identity or citizenship of his father.
In an extraordinary outburst, Republican Sam Slom said the 'real issue' behind the reluctance of the President, who says he was born in Hawaii, to release full details from his birth certificate was unlikely to be because he wanted to hide his place of birth.
'My particular point of view... is that [Obama] probably was born [in Hawaii] and that the real issue is not the birth certificate, but what's on the birth certificate,' Slom said in an interview on New York's WABC 770 AM radio station.
'It could have to do with what his name is on the birth certificate, who is actually listed as his father, the citizenship of the father,' Slom said.
In recent months, the birthplace of Obama has become a burning issue, with detractors of the President questioning whether he was in fact born in Kenya - even though Hawaii officials have certified he was born in the U.S. state.
Slom, who said he once lived in the same building as Obama in Hawaii's capital, said: 'My belief is that there is a birth certificate, he was born here, but that there is information that for reasons known only to him he doesn't want released.

Maybe his father was from another planet? Just kidding…

My readers never get enough of Kim K. But, are they really reading?
Daily Mail reports she has never been particularly shy about showing off her enviable curves. And Kim Kardashian clearly had no qualms about stripping down for a new sizzling photoshoot for UK Cosmopolitan magazine.

With her hair teased into a big tumbling 1960s style, the star looks stunning in a bikini and platform heels. Another photograph shows Kim lying on a white couch, wearing a black top and a pair of knickers, while other shots show her pouting in a series of low-cut tops.

Hey, Barack! High Gas prices is your fault, buddy!
I like how the media is bending over backwards not to blame President Obama for high gas prices.
They really think Americans won’t notice a double standard considering the media put on a 24/7 blame-fest when gas prices spiked under President George W. Bush.
But, the president continuing his asinine moratorium on oil drilling in the U.S. doesn’t help Americans shelling out more bucks at the pump. The truth is we have a president that doesn’t mind if gas goes up in price. He said as such in 2007. Like a typical Democrat, Obama is beholden to environmental lobbyist that will come up with the most bogus reasons not to drill for domestic oil.
So Obama can do his Man of La Mancha routine all he wants and created new demons, like speculators, to fool the ignorant and the ill-informed (Obama’s base).
This president is a horror show, with an approval rating at 40% and sinking. Obama is making Jimmy Carter look like John Adams, he’s really that bad.

China seizes Christians in Easter raid, Will Obama say something? Fat chance
President Obama loves to hold up China as a country the U.S. needs to emulate. I wonder if Obama will have the guts to condemn China for this reprehensible action.
It would be nice if our president defends the Christian faith once in a while!
UK Telegraph Dozens of Chinese Christians were arrested on Sunday when police prevented an evangelical Protestant church from holding its Easter Sunday service, as the state continued its attack on protests against one-party rule.
Security forces clashed with followers of a growing underground Protestant movement that was blocked from moving into a new meeting hall near Beijing, leading to three weeks of confrontation with the communist authorities.
Worshippers from the Shouwang, or "watch tower", church were taken away in buses, some defiantly singing hymns. Church leaders had issued a "fire and brimstone" cry for the congregation to worship outside the building even if it meant arrest and prosecution.
"The devil Satan has taken advantage of the authority God has granted to the national government and is seeking to destroy God's church," Pastor Jin Tianming wrote. "His devil's claws have finally been revealed. Satan get thee behind me!"
Up to 500 members of the Protestant house church movement, unregistered assemblies of worshippers that the government bans to prevent the rise of opposition, have been detained in recent weeks. Yesterday's arrests were a continuation of the authorities' increase in repression of dissenters to stop any chance of a revolution such as those seen in North Africa and the Middle-East.
"Between 20 and 30 followers were taken away," said Pastor Jin by telephone from his home, where he has been under house arrest for the past two weeks.

Transgender victim of McDonald's Chrissy Lee Polis beating speaks out
This story has taken a very interesting twist!
The initial reports were that that the victim was a white woman being beat up by 2 black girls (I still call them savages). But, later details emerged that the victim was really a man dressed like a woman.
Well, the later reports has now been confirmed with Chrissy Lee Polis going public and confirming that she is rally a dude.
My opinion of the incident has not changed. No one deserves to get beaten down like that.
However, this makes a very interesting dilemma for Liberals to see if they determine whether or not this was a hate crime because the individuals involved are both in protected groups. The assailants were black and the victim is a transgender individual.
How is this gonna work now?
Had the assailants been to white men and the victim black male—boom--hate crime!
This only underscores the silliness of hate crimes legislation in the first place.
Baltimore Sun reports:
Transgender woman calls attack 'hate crime,' has been afraid to be seen in public
A transgender woman beaten at a Baltimore County McDonald's spoke out on Saturday, saying that the attack was "definitely a hate crime" and that she's been afraid to go out in public ever since.
"They said, 'That's a dude, that's a dude and she's in the female bathroom,' " said Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, who said she stopped at the Rosedale restaurant to use the restroom. "They spit in my face."
A worker at the restaurant taped Monday's attack and created a graphic video that went viral last week. After the video garnered hundreds of thousands of views on websites, McDonald's issued a statement condemning the incident, and on Saturday the worker who taped the incident was fired.
The video shows two females — one of them a 14-year-old girl — repeatedly kicking and punching Polis in the head as an employee and a patron try to intervene. Others can be heard laughing, and men are seen standing idly by.
Toward the end of the video, one of the suspects lands a punishing blow to the victim's head, and Polis appears to have a seizure. A man's voice tells the women to run because police are coming.
"I knew they were taping me; I told the guy to stop," said Polis, a resident of Baltimore. "They didn't help me. They didn't do nothing for me."
County police confirmed that the attack occurred April 18 in the 6300 block of Kenwood Ave. Police said the 14-year-old girl has been charged as a juvenile, while charges were pending against an 18-year-old woman. Reached Saturday, police officials said the investigation was continuing.
The police report does not provide a motive but quotes one of the suspects saying that the fight was "over using a bathroom."
Polis suffered cuts to her mouth and face, and said she had a seizure. She also acknowledged that she was intoxicated at the time of the assault.
On Saturday she said she continued to suffer from painful bruises.
Polis, who said she had a sex-change operation to become a woman, said this isn't the first time that she's been picked on physically because of her sexual identity. She said she's been subjected to beatings and even sexual assaults.
She said seeing herself all over the Internet and all over the news has been "like walking out of the closet all over again." Polis is concerned that the public attention could trigger more violence — and worries it could hurt her chances of getting a job. "I want to cry, but I need to hold my head up," she said.

Rep. Allen West about raising Spartan Men’ the neutering of the American male
One of the things West talks about is the chic-a-fication or the neutering of the American male. This is a theme I frequently write about on this blog because we have a generation of men out here that have no clue how to “act like a man”.
This gender neutral crap has to go!

Wife Michi Nogami-Marshall arrested after Miami Dolphins star receiver Brandon Marshall is stabbed with kitchen knife
Brandon Marshall is an asshole! He always has been since he entered the league. I’m sick and tired of these pampered athletes that don’t know how to act in civil society. Ya’ take a player out the ghetto, but ya’ can’t take the ghetto out of the player.
I don’t know what went down between him and his wife. But with his sordid track record, I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt that she was indeed defending herself against this creep!
Daily Mail reports Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall is in hospital after allegedly being stabbed by his wife in the early hours of this morning. Michi Nogami-Marshall, has been arrested on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
She told officers she stabbed him with a kitchen knife while defending herself, according to a police report posted on the South Florida Sun Sentinel's website.
She is in jail on a $7,500 bond. Marshall was taken to Broward General Hospital in Miami where he underwent surgery for a stab wound to the stomach.
No vital organs were pierced. Doctors have told representatives of the player that he should make full recovery in two to three weeks.
Marshall said he wanted to leave hospital immediately, but doctors advised against it in case of infection to the wound.
In a statement, Marshall's agents Harvey Steinberg and Kennard McGuire said: 'This is a very difficult time for Brandon and family, thankfully he will make a full recovery.
'We simply ask that his privacy is respected.'
This isn't the first time Marshall suffered a serious injury during the offseason. During the 2008 off-season he suffered a bad laceration to his arm when smashing through a television set at his home. Marshall initially said he slipped on a McDonald's wrapper but then admitted he also was involved in 'horseplay' with a family member.

Alinsky tactics: Wisconsin school employee busted for threatening gas station owner Dick Hiersfor selling gas to Republicans
Never under estimate the capacity of public sector unions “to go thug”! And lets not forget they learned their tactics from Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama’s mentor.
WBAY reports that a Sheboygan gas station owner is baffled after a mystery caller tells a clerk it's a bad idea to do business with a Sheboygan-area state senator.
It started Tuesday when a woman called Dick Hiers's Northeast Standard gas station after she thought she saw Senator Joe Leibham there. Her call was caught on the answering machine.
"I think that this whole thing has to end. It has to stop," said Hiers. "This type of stuff is totally uncalled for."
Hiers never thought his little gas station in the heart of Sheboygan would be the stage of political controversy. Then again, his week has been full of surprises.
"I was working back here and the answering machine went off, and I was a little surprised by that, and when I heard the message here, I was even a little more surprised."
The answering machine here in the back of the store was left on from the night before and was recording the entire conversation.
Caller: "Can you verify that was Senator Leibham at the gas station this morning?"
Gas station clerk: "Senator Leibham?"
Caller: "Yes. Do you guys support him?"
Clerk: "I have nothing to say about that, I am not politically involved."
Caller: "Alright, well you can tell Dick he's not good for business, I'll tell you that."
Shocked over the 26-second conversation, Hiers quickly traced the call -- only to get surprise number two.
"And it turned out to be coming from the Sheboygan area district school office," he said.
"Obviously our school district equipment and the facilities are for the purposes of school," Superintendent Joseph Sheehan responded. "Any type of phone call leaving any types of threats or condoning any type of intimidation is strictly prohibited."

This is only the beginning! Expect more of these kinds of stunts happen across the country as public sector unions get more desperate continue sucking the public tit.

Video: Shocking 2 black girls (savages) viciously beat up on defenseless white chic or male tranny? McDonalds
I’ve posted this kind of video before. But, this one is the most disturbing I’ve seen. What bothers me most besides seeing this poor woman go into seizures is that no man in there stepped up and stop the violence.
Once again, it’s a middle age white woman who tried to keep the two animals off the white chic.
Where are the hell are the men who know how to act like men?
Daily Mail reports:
• McDonald's says incident is 'disturbing and troubling'
• Police consider charging black girls with racist hate crime
A girl was brutally beaten to the point of having a seizure in McDonald's as staff passively watched on, shocking footage shows.
During the horrifying assault, which lasted for several minutes, the young white girl was repeatedly kicked in the head and stamped on by two black girls in the fast food store in Rosedale, Baltimore.
Staff stood by and even laughed as the attackers grabbed the girl's hair and dragged her across the floor. The assault, which happened on April 18, was so severe the 22-year-old victim had a seizure in the restaurant.
After shocking footage of the assault spread across the internet, with one site alone receiving 450,000 views by mid-afternoon, police said a 14-year-old girl had been charged as a juvenile, while charges were pending against an 18-year-old woman.
While the incident remains under investigation, local police told the Baltimore Sun they were looking into whether or not there was racist motivation.
State's Attorney Scott D. Shellenberger said hate crime charges were being considered.
'If there is evidence that the crime was racially motivated, we will take a look at those charges and see if we meet those elements. We have the ability, if the facts are there, to upgrade the charges at a later date,' Shellenberger said. Police said the woman had suffered cuts to her mouth and face but was in 'fair' condition.
