    Colin Kaepernick is still a free agent, and an NFL inside source told The Daily Caller Monday that the former 49ers quarterback has no one but himself to blame. Despite the ongoing narrative that Kaepernick’s very public political views are preventing any NFL teams from offering him a roster spot, TheDC’s source claims Kaep himself has turned down at least one contract in the hopes of stirring up a media frenzy that eventually leads to a more lucrative deal for the 27 year old vet.

    PHOENIX — A Phoenix woman sentenced to death Monday in the killing of a 10-year-old cousin who was locked in a small plastic storage box and left to die is one of just dozens of female death-row inmates in the United States. The jury reached the verdict after Sammantha Allen, 29, was convicted in June of first-degree murder and four counts of child abuse in the 2011 killing of Ame Deal, who was punished for stealing an ice pop. Allen held her head in her hand and wept as the verdict was read and later cried and hugged her attorneys...

    Former clinic Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson reveals the horrors of what she saw in new book 'The Walls are Talking' and tells Tucker why she became an anti-abortion activist. Johnson said, "I was there for eight years... I was a clinic manager so I took care of just day-to-day operations hiring and firing personnel making sure that our budgets were maintained, including our abortion quota... Every abortion facility within Planned Parenthood has a monthly abortion quota that they must meet... So they make their money about 50% of their income is just cash from abortion services."

    If The New York Times, the Washington Post and now ABC News aren’t embarrassed yet, then there is no hope for what is called the Main Stream Media. Another slew of e-mails the other day show how these news organizations tried their best to downplay a very suspicious meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch on an airport tarmac at Phoenix in June 2016. This was right in the middle of the FBI’s investigation into the disappearance of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. Bill Clinton and Lynch said it was a chance meeting, where family matters were discussed. A few...

    As many of you will recall, Obama made a trip to Pakistan when he was at Occidental College. I am seeing indicators that this relates to the Awans' network and to Iraq and Iran's nuclear programs, which I'm putting out here for others to help fill the missing pieces in and to get this to the right people. First, a recap of Obama's Pakistan trip:Obama’s Russia Problem: Obama's Links to Soviet-era Spy Rings and Terrorist NetworksAt Occidental College, Obama became involved in radical student politics, deliberately networking with activist students and professors, as he mentions in his autobiography. In 1981,...

    Here Is The City ^ | 07/30/2017 | Richard Wood
    The former UKIP leader took to Twitter to have a go at the EU Commission’s president over ridiculously expensive flights. Euronews reported that President of the EU Commission Jean-Claude Juncker had hired a private plane to fly to Turkey. The air taxi hire cost a whopping €63,000, the expenses form for which can be accessed here. Taking to Twitter, the ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage had a go at the president by saying “That was just the bar tab.” His dig appears to point to the past allegations that Juncker has been publicly drunk, with Channel 4 reporting one possible incident...

    Right now though maybe we should be paying more attention to the alternatives. Maybe our daily lives and, for some of us, careers shouldn’t need to balance on the fickle algorithm changes of the world’s most valuable company. Let’s see what else is out there in the non-Google world. It’s not that scary, I promise. Although you may want to bring a coat. Bing -- Microsoft’s search engine is the second most popular search engine in the world, with 15.8% of the search market. DuckDuckGo --The key feature of DuckDuckGo is that it doesn’t retain its users’ data, so it...

    WASHINGTON — Four New York lawmakers got a firsthand glimpse of a historical White House staff shake-up on what was supposed to be a fun trip on Air Force One with President Trump. [snip] On the way back from the MS-13 event, Priebus left the others at the conference table area and went into Trump’s private Air Force One office. The chief of staff came out with a “poker face” and didn’t let anyone know the stunning news that he had just lost his job. He continued working [snip] At Trump’s urging, he broke the news to the other lawmakers...
  • Why 2018 might not be such an amazing election for Democrats

    CNN Politics ^ | August 7, 2017 | Chris Cillizza, Editor-at-large
    All the signs suggest that 2018 is going to be a very good year for Democrats. Midterm elections are historically terrible for the president's party. In 18 of the last 20 midterm elections, the president's party has lost seats. In those 18 elections, the average seat loss is 33. Those numbers are even more daunting for presidents under 50% job approval -- as Donald Trump is right now. Since 1946, the average seat loss in the House in that situation is 36 seats. But before Democrats get too delirious about the election to come, they should read this paragraph from...

    Bored at work? Find yourself staring into space? NASA may have the job for you. It comes with a six-figure salary and civil service protection — and duties include saving the Earth. It sounds like a job from the movie “Men in Black” about government employees saving the Earth from creepy aliens. Cassie Conley is NASA’s planetary protection officer, and that is — sort of — what she does, but on a smaller scale, and not quite as messy. “The job is defending Earth from aliens, but they’re microbes, not space invaders,” she told CBS News. We asked if bringing...

    The nursery in Amy Fabbrini and Eric Ziegler's home is filled with unread children's books and unworn baby clothes. A Winnie the Pooh blanket lies untouched inside a crib where a child has never slept. For nearly four years, the Redmond couple has been fighting to prove to the state of Oregon that they are intellectually capable of raising their children. The Department of Human Services has removed both of their boys, saying the parents are too mentally limited to be good parents. Fabbrini, 31, and Ziegler, 38, lost custody of their older son, Christopher, shortly after he was born....
