Neither Timber Creek High School sophomore saw Keller ISD’s decision to cancel their performance of “The Laramie Project” — which included more than 70 students — coming. Students plan to voice their concerns to the school board Feb. 29. “I was a little blindsided,” Sampson, 16, told the Fort Worth Report. “It was a role I really wanted to perform. I was a little dejected when I heard it was being canceled.” “The Laramie Project” is a play that recounts the aftermath of the murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student who was beaten and tied to...

Former Fox News anchor-turned-CNBC host, Shepard Smith, is out effective immediately at the network. CNBC confirmed Friday that the "last newscast was Wednesday, November 2," in an update to Thursday's initial announcement. The network first reported Thursday that Smith would leave CNBC later in the month of November. However, it then quietly updated the announcement, contradicting its initial report and burying the news of the final broadcast.

Blue Origin launched its 23rd New Shepard rocket mission this morning, featuring science payloads designed for experimentation. The mission needed early, however, after it was aborted during the first ascent stage of the rocket, prompting the abort process to take over and firing the parachutes on the capsule, which drifted back to Earth shortly after take-off. This was not a crewed mission, so there was no one on board the capsule, though it is the same vehicle that the company uses for its private spaceflight tourist missions. This marks the first time ever that Blue Origin has encountered a problem...

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 19, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Once regarded by conservatives as the country’s sole red, white and blue national television news network, Fox News is increasingly showing its rainbow colors.

BroadwayWorld has just learned that playwright, actor, author, screenwriter, and director Sam Shepard has passed away. Shepard, who had been ill with ALS for some time, died peacefully on July 30 at home in Kentucky, surrounded by his children and sisters. He was 73 years old. Shepard is the author of forty-four plays as well as several books of short stories, essays, and memoirs. Shepard received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1979 for his play Buried Child.

Has Rupert Murdoch benched "Pajama Boy" Shepard Smith. Shucks, folks, no Shep ranting % raving this weekend, the CNN clarion call..."we do not know whether this was terrorist attack or not"!!! Ya know...after all the buildup that Shepard Smith was the man of the hour when it came to "Breaking News", the Pajama Boy, Smith was nowhere in sight this weekend. Methinks, Old Man, Rupert Murdoch is getting nervous at FNC & FBN, and has had second thoughts about turning them into another CNN as his dumb, moron, buffoon sons desire!!! Once again, where was Shepard Smith...the point man for...

Shepard Smith who has his head 10 miles up Hillary's a** is so excited about the Democratic Convention as he trashes Trump about his promise to respond to the needs of the Vets (isn't Trump so silly and dumb per Smith?), and he is very excited about Bill Clinton who will likely bring down the house. Boy what a Party atmosphere from this POS. What a magic moment. What do you think of Shep's coverage? Isn't is so... well, like a soft toy!

The shooter's name is Ali Sonboly, an 18 year old Iranian with dual German and Iranian citizenship. Multiple witnesses, not just one which originally included a Muslim female, say he yelled Allahu Akbar during the shooting rampage. He, or someone who knows him, had internet skills because an account linked to him hacked a Facebook account to put up false ads to try and lure children to the McDonalds at the mall where the murders took place with free gifts. A like fake ad tried to lure people to the Macys but hasn't yet been linked to the shooter. Some...

Shepard Smith, Fox News host, cut into his own press conference coverage of the release of Kentucky clerk Kim Davis from jail to rail against her, as well as those who supported her denial of wedding certificates to same-sex couples, saying such is simply a "religious play" that has no business in government service. He also compared Kim Davis supporters to those who oppose Sharia law, characterizing them as one and the same when it comes to ideology. "They set this up as a religious play again," Smith said, "This is the same crowd that says, 'We don't want Sharia...

Not a hate crime? The murder of Matthew Shepard in 1998 became a cause célèbre for homosexual activists who said Shepherd’s murderers targeted him because he was gay. Now comes a new book saying Shepard and his murderers partied together, had sex together, and used drugs together. The Book of Matt, out next week to coincide (more or less) with the 15th anniversary of the murder, is causing buzz because the writer is himself gay and a credible investigative reporter. One of the more interesting reviews of the book came from gay journalist Andrew Sullivan: “If you’re going to base...

<p>Fox News Channel is eliminating one of Shepard Smith's two daily newscasts and putting him in charge of a breaking news team where he will travel more to stories and break into other Fox shows with special reports.</p> <p>His 7 p.m. Eastern newscast will end this fall, but Smith will continue anchoring a weekday 3 p.m. newscast. Fox Chairman Roger Ailes said the network is "no longer bound by a traditional evening format conceived in the 1960s."</p>

Shepard Smith just said on Special Report that a cameraman and another journalist have been killed in Gaza. He said "this type of targeting by Israeli's is unprecedented" What a dolt! Doesn't he realized Hamas can call anyone killed in the strikes "Journalists" They'll just stick a camera in the dead persons hands. Ugh!

Fox News’ Shepard Smith didn’t hide his feelings after ABC aired a snippet of the interview in which President Obama came out in favor of gay marriage. “The president of the United States, now in the 21st century,” Smith said. Later on his “Studio B” show, in a segment with “Special Report” host Bret Baier, Smith doubled down by saying Republicans were on “the wrong side of history.” On the Thursday broadcast of his radio show, however, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh challenged Smith’s statement, and asked where the anchor thought gay marriage been a winner electorally. “Republicans on the wrong...

According to an article I read at Yahoo News, Fox anchor Shepard Smith has warned the GOP not to be “on the wrong side of history”. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/obama-supports-gay-marriage-shep-smith-warns-gop-203159510.html Many have long suspected that Shepard Smith is flaming gay; so this contention is hardly an objective opinion. America is committing suicide and the Saboteur @ 1600 supports ANYTHING and everything that assures our destruction... This is all part of his plan from the very beginning - to foment secession. As from day one of his first political campaign, he has outrageously tried to purport himself as the second Lincoln by constantly quoting...

Shepard Smith looks like he's going down hill very quickly. Has anyone heard anything about his status? I don't mean to make light of it or wish him ill but it looks like something is going on.

In a motion filed in federal district court on Thursday, lawyers representing artist Shepard Fairey in the copyright fight with The Associated Press over his Obama "Hope" poster asked that they be allowed to withdraw from the case and that a Jones Day attorney and a pair of law professors be allowed to replace them. The move comes a little more than a week after Fairey admitted lying about which AP photograph he used as the basis for his iconic poster -- and then fabricated and destroyed evidence to cover up the truth. Fairey's present legal team -- led by...

The Delaware County man convicted in the 2006 murder of a young coworker returned to court yesterday to plead no contest to having child pornography on his home computer. In November, William F. Smithson was sentenced to life in prison without parole after being convicted of the murder of Jason Shephard, an intern with the South Dakota scoreboard manufacturer Daktronics. The body of Shephard, 23, was found in Smithson's basement in Thornbury Township on Sept. 21, 2006. Prosecutors said Smithson had drugged the young man from Cavalier, N.D., then strangled him after Shephard fought off his sexual advances. Police confiscated...

June 10, 2009 Shepard Smith's assault on Conservatives I'm sure many of my readers were tuned into Fox News this afternoon between 2:30pm-4:00PM I was stunned at the misguided comments of Shepard Smith regarding the Holocaust Museum shooting. Smith was attempting to make a profound correlation between the shooting suspect James Von Brunn and those who publish websites that criticize Barack Obama. One could say that this is subjective and Smith's accusations were really directed at people who are anti-semitic or calling for assassinations. However, Smith removed any “benefit of a doubt” we could have afforded him when he pointed...
