Are the authorities in Ferguson really going to allow the KKK there?
Seems like they want to add fuel to the fire.

House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday said "all options are on the table" to prevent President Barack Obama from taking executive action on immigration, including the threat of another government shutdown.
Congress has until mid-December to act to prevent another shutdown.
Boehners assertion contradicts what incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said earlier in the day. "Well not be shutting the government down or threatening to default on the national debt," McConnell said.

Fox News said on Friday that it had severed its relationship with former pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson amid speculation that he's planning a 2016 presidential run, the Washington Post reported.
Carson is a major conservative activist and commentator, and he had joined the Fox News Channel as a contributor, frequently using his position to criticize President Obama.
A Fox News spokesperson told the Post that Carson understood the rationale behind the decision and that the two parties separated amicably.
Carson was reportedly preparing to air an hour-long self-promotional video introducing himself to the American people, ABC News reported. Fox's decision to cut ties with Carson happened in much the same way as it had with former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown (R), who was a contributor for the channel before he launched a failed 2014 bid for a U.S. Senate seat in New Hampshire.
Carson said last month, in an interview with Fusion that he was hesitant to run for President and was only considering it because of the support he'd received.
"No, I don't want to be president. Why would any sane person want to do that?" Carson said. "I think I have to consider that, with so many clamoring for me to do it."

Today on The 700 Club, Pat Robertson insisted that he and others have the power to raise the dead, but lamented that people these days are withholding this special skill.
Robertson, who has previously discussed dead-raising abilities, told a viewer, Margaret, that people can raise the dead when they receive and submit to the power of the Holy Spirit.
That power is there, we just arent using it, Robertson grieved.

a few months ago even a few weeks ago ...
Ebola, ISIS or ISIL, immigrant children coming across the border were a direct threat to us. Now that the election is over you hear nothing about it. The fear mongering was executed and used.
