Conservative Republican gubernatorial candidate Mae Beavers blasted the rumored hire of former Rutgers head coach and Penn State assistant coachGreg Schiano as head coach of the University of Tennessee football team on Sunday. “Tennessee’s next football coach should be someone with a strong record of achieving success for our kids, both on and off the field,” Beavers said in a statement released by her campaign late Sunday. “But most importantly, the next coach should absolutely NOT be someone who was potentially complicit in the abuse of countless children by disgraced child molester and former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky,” Beavers added in the statement. The statement continued: Beavers’ comments followed reports, including by the Washington Post, that revealed testimony stemming from the Penn State abuse scandal that indicated that Schiano was aware of Sandusky’s abuse. Beavers did acknowledge that these allegations against Schiano have not been proven. Yet in response, Beavers stated that, if true, “Schiano should be behind bars and not on the sideline of any football team.” In addition, Beavers pointed to numerous other reasons that UT should concentrate their hiring efforts on other candidates, including Schiano’s lackluster career at Rutgers and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.…

Commentary: The Era of Democrat Rulebreaking, Abuse, and Corruption Must End

Admin

by CHQ Staff   Let’s call it the trickledown theory of get-out-of-jail-free cards. Once Bill and Hillary Clinton were given a pass on their serial transgressions; sexual assault, lawbreaking of all kinds, graft and corruption it seems no Democrat bigwig can be held accountable for anything. Many will see this precedent in Senator Al Franken’s apparent get-out-of-jail-free card on his photo-documented serial groping and sexual harassment, now being excused as all in good fun by his former Saturday Night Live castmates, Democratic politicians and even one of the victims – leftwing media mogul Arianna Huffington. However, Franken’s consequence-free groping pales in comparison to the treatment afforded another Democrat bigwig – ranking member of the House Committee on the Judiciary and former Chairman of that panel Rep. John Conyers (MI-13) whom we have learned was protected from a sexual harassment charge by a $27,000 payout of taxpayer-funded hush money. The 88-year old Conyers, first elected in 1964, is the “Dean” of the House, having served longer than any other current member of that body. However, by rights, Conyers should not even still be a member of the House of Representatives. In 2014 the Michigan Secretary of State ruled that Conyers had not…

‘Enemies of Allah’ Turn Rockets of Hate into Peace Art

Chris Alto

Yaron Bob, an Israeli artist whose community has been repeatedly attacked with Kassam rockets fired from Gaza by Palestinian terrorists, turns the rockets of hate into metal art called “Rockets into Roses.” Bob’s work was inspired by his own close calls with rocket attacks. According to his website, “I take the Kassam, the instrument of death and I change it, I transfer it into something of beauty.” After the rockets are checked by a bomb squad, the police give Bob the metal to create the roses which he “plants” in a base shaped as a map of Israel, “so that the rose literally ‘grows’ from the place of destruction – where most of the rockets have landed.” Until very recently, HAMAS has controlled the government in Gaza and has been primarily responsible for the rocket attacks. Founded in 1987, HAMAS, an acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement, is a U.S. designated terrorist group and the self-described Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. Its charter makes it clear that Jews are the enemies of Allah and that the HAMAS mission is to destroy Israel and kill Jewish people. Quoting Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood founder, the HAMAS charter states: Israel will exist and will continue to…

Cinnamon Burns Fat Cells, But Don’t Start Chugging Cinnarolls Just Yet

Admin

Researchers have known for a while that cinnamaldehyde, an essential oil that gives cinnamon its flavor and odor, can boost metabolism in mice, but the mechanism through which it does this wasn’t so well understood. Now, Jun Wu, research assistant professor at the LSI, has applied cinnamaldehyde to fat cells from both rats and humans. He and his colleagues learned that the oil acts directly on the fat cells (also called adipocytes), causing them to burn energy through thermogenesis (heat generation). In other words, cinnamon oil makes fat cells burn out. …

Tennessee State Senator Frank Niceley Lists ‘Eight Ways to Annoy Liberals’ in Fun Thanksgiving Tweetstorm

Admin

In response to Senator Chuck Schumer’s tweet encouraging Thanksgiving revelers to challenge their family members regarding the Republicans’ developing tax reform package, our own State Senator Frank Niceley (R-Strawberry Plains) delivered a series of eight well-crafted suggestions for Trump supporters to do and say in return. “There have been so many articles about politics at the Thanksgiving table and how Trump has divided friendships and everybody’s afraid to talk politics,” Niceley told the Knoxville News Sentinel. “I think everybody’s taking it too seriously and we just need to lighten up a little bit.” “Everybody talks about how strained relationships are over this Trump making America great again,” he said. “It’s almost like some people don’t want America to be great again. I’ve been in politics 30 years and I’ve never seen it so divided. But there are a lot of good things going on. The stock market is up. Unemployment is down.” Niceley’s suggestions touch on all the liberal hot buttons, from Russia to climate change, Trump’s talking style, Hillary Clinton, and more. And so, without further delay… Frank Niceley’s Eight #WaysToAnnoyFamilyLiberalsAtThanksgiving #WaysToAnnoyFamilyLiberalsAtThanksgiving Let's get this party started! 1.
