The ‘Forced Home Inspections’ in Obamacare Law

-By Warner Todd Huston

New reports are finding that President Obama’s take over of our healthcare system with his Obamacare law will give the government the right to force “inspections” on millions of American homes and your guns may be one of the factors causing a “forced” inspection.

Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) website details the “Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program” which give the government the right to invade any home of families Obama deems is a “high-risk” home.

One of the criteria of an “high-risk” home is the presence of firearms, according to a manual published by HHS in 2006.

According to Freedom Outpost other markers of a “high-risk” home are:

Critics Slam Muslims for the 9/11/13 Scheduling of Million-Muslim March in DC

-By Warner Todd Huston

A Muslim group planning a “million Muslim march” to be held on the 12th anniversary of the terror attacks that brought down the World Trade Center in 2001 is being criticized for picking that day for their event.

On August 11, I reported on the march being planned by the Muslim advocacy group named the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) and ourselves noted that it is little else but a finger in American’s eyes. Now others are echoing that sentiment.

Recently on Fox News, Doctor Zudhi Jasser, president of the Islamic Forum for Democracy, criticized the picking of the very day that Muslims killed over three thousand Americans.

“They’re basically a bunch of ‘truthers’ who think that America’s to blame for everything,” Jasser said. He went on to say that the Anti-Defamation League has identified some of the leaders of the march as “being virulent, anti-Semites who think 9/11 was a conspiracy theory.”

California Christians Found ‘Not Guilty’ of Reading Bible Near Gov’t Offices

-By Warner Todd Huston

A court has said that a pair of Christians were “allowed” to read the Bible aloud outside the Department of Motor Vehicles in Hemet, California. Wasn’t it kind of the government courts in California to say that these Christians were allowed to have their rights to free religious expression?

Back in 2011 Mark Mackey and Bret Coronado were arrested and charged with misdemeanor offenses for reading the Bible outside the DMV location.

But on August 13, Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer found the men “not guilty” of any offenses.

Prosecutors had to prove that the men needed a permit for their Bible reading, but were not able to make that case.

Obama-Masked Missouri Rodeo Clown Banned From Sport For Life

-By Warner Todd Huston

Don’t make fun of king Obama. If you do your life will be destroyed. That is the message that the Missouri State Fair is sending by the banning for life of a rodeo clown that used an Obama mask during a recent performance.

Of course, the crowd had a great time with the stunt as can be seen in a video of the event…

The incident occurred on August 10 at the Missouri State Fair where Rodeo clown Tuffy Gessling made a bunch of Obama jokes with a dummy figure of Obama propped up by a broom which was being used as a target for the rodeo bulls. But soon scolds on the Internet went wild attacking the clown as “racist.”

Jeff Mazur, an Executive Director for AFSCME, a left-wing government workers union, and an operative in Democrat Governor Jay Nixon’s administration, wasn’t amused, though and he took to Twitter to immediately attack the rodeo for the Obama joke. (See his Tweet below)

Feminist ‘Professor’ Admits No Qualifications to Teach, Adultery, Mental Troubles

-By Warner Todd Huston

Hugo Schwyzer, a Pasadena City College professor who made a name for himself as a “male feminist,” went on a tear on Twitter admitting that he has no qualifications to be a teacher, that he’s had affairs an his wife with a 23-year-old woman, that he involved himself in inappropriate Internet exchanges à la Anthony Weiner and that he is a “p*ss poor feminist.”

Schwyzer obviously had some sort of breakdown on August 9 when he took to Twitter and went on an hour-long, self-deprecating tirade. All this came after it was revealed that he’d been involved in a sexting scandal with a porn star named Christiana Parriera.

After the Anthony Weiner-like mess was revealed, Schwyzer disappeared from social media, but on Friday he came back with a vengeance.

With near 100 Tweets, Schwyzer admitted that he is a fraud and a “hypocrite.”

He called himself as a “breathtakingly cocky fraud,” and announced that he wanted the truth to come out.

Victim Recovering After Gang Beating in St. Paul, Minn.

-By Warner Todd Huston

Ray Widstrand, a 26-year-old white man, moved to a St. Paul neighborhood that many feel is dangerous. On August 4, Widstrand found out why people think so badly about the neighborhood when he was beaten into a coma by a group of local gangbangers.

The young man moved to St. Paul’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood sometime in June but never expressed any fears of the neighborhood to family or friends. In fact, they say he was very excited about moving into his new apartment.

But on evening of Sunday, August 4, Widstrand was walking along the street in his newly adopted neighborhood when a fight between rival street gangs erupted. It wasn’t long before some members of the gangs turned their attention to Widstrand.

The gang members set upon Widstrand and beat him into unconsciousness. When police finally arrived, Widstrand was found bleeding from his mouth and nose. He had also had his clothing ripped off and his belongings stolen.

According to police, some of those involved in the fight belonged to the black street gang the East Side Boys or its younger affiliate, Ham Crazy.

Your Taxes Going to Pay for Hotel Rooms for Illegal Aliens

-By Warner Todd Huston

Fox News just found out that the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is spending thousands of your tax dollars a day on hotel rooms for illegal aliens. One official said this “shouldn’t be happening,” but it is.

Fox found that millions of illegals a year are given temporary status for asylum in the USA and are often given free hotel stays while they wait for a hearing before an immigration judge. Worse, some 600,000 to 800,000 a year don’t bother to show up for their hearings. That means they are wandering about the USA with no accounting for their whereabouts or their legal status.

There are so many, sometimes hundreds per day, that ICE hasn’t anywhere to keep them so they just foot the bill for hotel rooms while they wait. This wait can be weeks and months away from being given their cozy, free hotel rooms paid for by you and me.

Fox found that the numbers of asylum seekers has grown exponentially of late and that these illegals are using “special key words” when they apply for asylum, words the Obama administration has set up as safe words used to give these illegals immediate protected status.

New York Bans in Schools Words Like: Gun, Dinosaur, War, Disease

-By Warner Todd Huston

Once again, the New York Department of Education is in the word-banning business and is telling schools to ban dozens of words from use in the class room and on tests. And why are they banning the words? Because they might make kids “feel” bad. But, worse, some of the banned words would actually prevent learning!

One of the banned words, for instance is “slavery.” OK, so how do we discuss all of American history before the close of the Civil War if we are not allowed to use the word “slavery” in front of school kids? Just as bad, the words “war” and “religion” are also banned. There goes the rest of human history.

But maybe even worse, the DOE has banned the word “terrorism.” So, how do we teach what happened on 9/11?… Ah, I know, we tell kids that George Bush did it and America is evil to those poor, poor Muslims, that’s how.

NY Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said the Dept. of Ed isn’t “an outlier” and not being PC in the banning of words and that schools all across America do it (as if that makes it right).

“So we’re not an outlier in being politically correct. This is just making sure that test makers are sensitive in the development of their tests,” Walcott said to the media in New York City.

A glance at the list below makes a liar of Mr. Walcott.

Newspaper Editor Fired After Publishing Gun-Owner Map

The newspaper editor that caused such controversy in 2012 after publishing the names and home addresses of thousands of gun owners in New York has been laid off, according to the Rockland County Times.

Caryn McBride, editor of the Rockland Journal News was laid off by Journal News Publisher and CEO Janet Hasson. Along with McBride, 17 writers and 26 staffers were also let go.

McBride became infamous for OKaying the publication of an interactive map on the paper’s Internet site made up of the names and home addresses of thousands of legal gun owners in New York’s Rockland County. Her paper got the information from the county clerk’s office.

Close Obama Family Friend Cooperating With Feds in Probe of Chicago Corruption Scheme

-By Warner Todd Huston

A close friend of President Obama was forced to admit, Friday, that he is cooperating with authorities over a probe into a $433,000 kickback scheme at an Illinois agency he once headed.

Obama pal, Dr. Eric Whitaker, the former head of the Illinois Department of Public Health, has said he is cooperating on an investigation into alleged corruption perpetrated by his former chief of staff.

On August 9, James A. Lewis, the U.S. Attorney for the Illinois Central District, indicted Quinshaunta R. Golden, Whitaker’s chief of staff at the Illinois Department of Public Health, on charges of conspiring to divert state funds into her own pockets and then attempting to cover it all up.

Quinshaunta Golden is the niece of current U.S. Representative Danny Davis (D, Chicago) and is the 13th person indicted in the probe involving millions of dollars in state grants.

Golden is accused of having Leon Dingle, Jr. hire a “security consultant” at a cost of one million dollars in state funds. Dingle was director of a non-profit receiving grants from the state This consultant, referred to as “Individual A” in the indictment, then kicked some of that money back to Golden.

New Obama Rules Will Force ‘Diversity’ on Your Community

-By Warner Todd Huston

Obama is taking steps to begin to force “diversity” on your neighborhood through new fiat changes to policies of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Many fear this will force lenders right back into the sort of dangerous Democrat-sponsored lending practices that brought us the recent economic collapse.

This move corresponds to Obama Executive Order 1282, headlined: Leadership and Coordination of Fair Housing in Federal Programs; Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.

“This rule,” the HUD website says, “accordingly proposes to refine existing requirements with a fair housing assessment and planning process that will better aid HUD program participants fulfill this statutory obligation and address specific comments the GAO raised.”It continues saying,

Obama’s Maya Shankar, A 20-Something Hottie That Thinks She Knows How You Should Lead Your Life

-By Warner Todd Huston

What does a hottie in her late 20s who spent most of her life trying to be a violin virtuoso know about anything? Apparently everything as she has been put in charge of Obama’s “nudge squad” and will henceforth be telling you how to lead your life.


Watch out Michelle, here comes Maya Shankar to do some nudgin’

Maya Shankar has been appointed as chief nudge in Obama’s new “behavioral insights team,” another tax-wasting group whose task will be to figure out cunning ways to push Americans into doing what Obama and his big government playmates want them to do.

And dreams can come true if you are a violinist attending Yale. As it happens, Shankar was pronounced one of the Glamour magazine’s 2006 “top ten college women” and back then in the old days had gushed that her dream job would be to serve as one of Obama’s top science advisors.

But what does one do when one washes out of violin prodigy-ness? Why fulfill that standby dream by joining the Obama administration, of course.

So, viola… I mean voila… the little cutie shipped off to Washington to become the cutest little nudge you ever did see. And, as precious as it is, she’s already issued her first o-fish-i-al memo about her new multi-trillion dollar agency–because all federal agencies cost us trillions at this point, I’m pretty sure.

A Planned ‘Million Muslim March’ Set for Sept. 11, 2013

-By Warner Todd Huston

In an effort to stick their finger in America’s eye, a Muslim group is planning a “million Muslim march” on the very day their cohorts murdered over 3,000 Americans in 2001. This is called gall.

The march is being planned by the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) and is to be held on September 11, 2013 in Washington D.C. The march is meant to “demand that our civil rights be protected by our government.”

To say their rights haven’t been protected is, of course, an absurd claim. Muslims in the USA are not being systematically denied their “civil rights.” Any claims that Muslims are being oppressed in the U.S. is a laughable fiction.

On its website, the group is “demanding” that Obama bow to their wishes.

US Military Hosts ‘Totally Offensive and Inappropriate’ Drag Queen Show on ‘Diversity Day’

-By Warner Todd Huston

Here is what our “new” military is turning out to be after the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. A Los Angeles Air Force Base hosted a drag queen show as a part of a “diversity day” celebration.

Our armed forces are supposed to be for breaking stuff and killing people, yet instead of that the “new” military gets “diversity day” replete with performances by drag queens.

The story was highlighted by Fox News Radio’s Todd Starnes who reported, “Military personnel at the Los Angeles Air Force Base were treated to a Diversity Day musical performance featuring three individuals dressed in drag.”

Starnes reports that one airman felt the performance was “totally offensive and inappropriate.” He also said he was “troubled” by the spectacle.

CNN & NBC’s Close Ties to Obama, Anita Dunn, Bob Bauer and IRS Intimidation

-By Warner Todd Huston

The ongoing revelations of the intimidation of conservatives executed by Obama’s IRS and FEC agencies are still coming to light but an interesting wrinkle to the story is the close relationship between CNN and NBC/MSNBC and those inside the administration perpetrating that intimidation.

NBC/MSNBC had recently hired former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn as an on-air analyst to comment on what is going on in Washington today. CNN has also featured Dunn as a panelist from time to time. Both did so ostensibly because Dunn is one of those most involved in the Washington scene and is a major player as a K Street lobbyist.

Dunn is a key operative at the well connected SKD Knickerbocker, a DC-based campaign communications group, and is also intimately connected to many other firms and lobbying efforts.

In fact, Dunn raised eyebrows during the 2012 presidential election when it was discovered how integral she was as a consultant for firms lobbying the administration even as President Obama was then claiming, as he has claimed for years, that he was eliminating lobbyists in his administration and “changing business as usual” in DC.

Vile Gay Threats Attack Christian Wedding Chapel Owners

-By Warner Todd Huston

Homosexual hate is blooming again, this time in Grimes, Iowa. No, I don’t mean hate turned against gays, but gays perpetrating the hate.

A wedding hall in Grimes named Görtz Haus Gallery, a business owned by devout Christians, recently refused to do business with a gay couple looking to use the hall for their wedding service.

From there the floodgates of hate were opened wide.

“It started with emails and we noticed the emails were from a person with a name that looked like a man’s name. We’re a little suspicious about it and … two fellows walked in and that’s where it all began,” Dick told TheBlaze.com. “It was obvious what the situation was. I had to confirm it. I asked if this was a gay marriage celebration and I said we can’t take your money for this.”

Betty and Dick Odgaard, owners of Görtz Haus Gallery, shared some of the hate that came their way from the “tolerant” gay mafia…

Americans For Prosperity Protest Outside Blue Cross/Blue Shield’s Chicago HQ Over Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston

Some members of the Illinois chapter of Americans for Prosperity mounted a little community awareness protest over the crony capitalist role in Obamacare’s “enroll America” program being carried out by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. The protest was held outside the healthcare giant’s downtown headquarters, today.

In a past press release, Americans for Prosperity said, “Blue Cross and Blue Shield executives met with President Obama and Secretary (Kathleen) Sebelius as recently as April to discuss how they can work together to enroll as many people as possible in insurance policies through the exchange. This is the epitome of a Big Business-Big Government partnership designed to grow private business profits through government force, all under the guise of a non-profit.”

The following are a few images from the Chicago protest.

Chicago Public School Teacher Attacks Capitalism, Says Violent Revolution Coming

-By Warner Todd Huston

The policy group called ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Council) had its 40th anniversary meeting in Chicago on August 7, 8, and 9, but not everyone was celebrating. In front of the hotel at which the event was held, the unions gathered to attack and one Chicago school teacher took the occasion not only to say that capitalism has failed and that government should be for the redistribution of wealth, he also threatened “violent revolution” unless America acquiesces to union demands.

CPS Teacher Timothy Meegan, who teachers at Roosevelt High School in Chicago, had quite a bit of boilerplate to say about ALEC, but before long he edged toward some more startling rhetoric, the sort that makes one hope he isn’t teaching to Chicago’s school children.

At the end of his canned anti-ALEC speech he lapsed into the sort of rhetoric that would be at home in any speech from the worker’s paradise. In fact, it got downright red-lipped with talk of “violent revolution,” attacks on capitalism and the free market, as well as cries that government should “redistribute the wealth.”

And all this talk of violent revolution was Jesse Jackson approved. The very right reverend can be seen clapping Mr. Meegan on the back after his diatribe is over.

Big Government-Loving Joe Scarborough Slams GOP for Defunding Obamacare Plan

-By Warner Todd Huston

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, once a fairly conservative Republican, is railing against the plan for defunding Obamacare being pushed by Republicans like Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, calling the plan “stupidity,” and saying that conservatives are “too angry” to “win elections.”

On his little watched MSNBC show, Scarborough beat up on Republicans for wanting to “shut down the government.” Of course, this is the left wing’s misconstruction of what Cruz and Lee are saying. There is no “shut down” being proposed, exactly. And it is no surprise that Scarborough is touting the left-wing line since he sold his soul to the left to be on the extremist, left-wing MSNBC network.

In fact, Cruz himself has said shutting down government won’t stop Obamacare, so it is absurd for Scarborough and his left wing comrades to make that leap.

The idea is to pass a budget that funds all of government except Obamacare. That isn’t “shutting down government.”

Crime Drops as Gun Sales in Virginia Soar

-By Warner Todd Huston

The saying, “More Guns Less Crime,” seems to be coming true if the Commonwealth of Virginia is any indication as gun sales have soared there even as crime rates have fallen.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch has the story, noting that, “Major gun crime collectively dropped for a fourth consecutive year statewide, while firearms sales climbed to a new record in 2012 with 490,119 guns purchased in 444,844 transactions–a 16 percent rise over 2011.”

The proliferation of guns occurred as the total number of major reported crimes committed with all types of firearms in Virginia dropped 5 percent, from 4,618 offenses in 2011 to 4,378 last year, according to Virginia State Police data.

Looking back over seven years, total firearm sales in Virginia have risen a staggering 101 percent from 2006 to 2012, while gun-related crime has dropped 28 percent during that period.

Now, notice what this means. It means that the left is wholly wrong when it says over and over again that “more guns on the streets means more crime.” It is patently false.

95-Year-Old Vet Killed by Police in Illinois Retirement Home With Taser, Bean Bag Guns

The police state strikes again.

In a major over-the-top reaction, police taserd and shot bean bags at a 95-year-old military veteran, killing him, after he refused medical treatment at his retirement home.

On July 25, police were called to the Victory Centere, an assisted living community in Park Forest Illinois–a southern suburb of Chicago–after resident John Wrana, a veteran of WWII, became “combative” while refusing medical treatment by the home’s nursing staff.

Wrana began to get unruly when he was “involuntarily” committed for medical treatment by staff at the facility, police said in a statement.

Life Inside the White House: Obama Staffers Reflect

This is a very interesting panel assembled to relate their experiences of working in the White House for Barack Obama.

If you can get past the slobbering love they have for the worst president in American history–a sycophancy that is to be expected of true believers such as these–it is nonetheless quite interesting to hear their experiences about actually working inside the People’s House.

The video was made by the University of Chicago. The panelists are Jon Favreau, former director of speechwriting for President Obama; Katie McCormick Lelyveld, former press secretary for First Lady Michelle Obama; Chris Lu, Cabinet secretary and former assistant to the President; and Elizabeth Jarvis Shean, former White House research director.

The moderator was Kenneth Walsh, chief White House correspondent for U.S. News and World Report and author of the book “Prisoners of the White House.”


Black Comedian: White People Aren’t Allowed to Decide What’s Racist

-By Warner Todd Huston

Many on the far left continue to claim that America needs to have “a discussion” on race–even though we’ve been talking about it since roughly 1787. But one black comedian, W. Kamau Bell, apparently doesn’t want to have that discussion. He says all whites are racist, that is that, and they shouldn’t be allowed to talk about what’s racist and what isn’t.

The extremist host of FX’s Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, told the media that white people should not speak of cases like the George Zimmerman trial.

The worst thing to say to a person of color is, ‘I don’t think that’s racist.’ I don’t think that’s your area. You can have an opinion but I don’t think you are the final word. That’s what’s missing, white people. You’ve got a lot of jobs” but should not have the ‘I know what’s racist’ job. I know what’s imperialism – that’s your job.”

So, white people aren’t allowed to talk about racism? OK, then how do we have this “conversation about race” that the left keeps clamoring for?

Ah, but we know how the left wants to “converse.” They want to tell us that all whites are racist and whites should just shut up and do what the left tells them to do.

Obama Meets With Democrats, Speaks About Zimmerman Verdict

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a closed-door meeting with Congressional Democrats at the Capitol, President Obama again promised that his administration would look for ways to examine the criminal justice system in the aftermath of the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.

Obama visited with Congressional Democrats in a cloistered meeting on July 31, ostensibly to continue his umpteenth pivot to jobs and the economy, but Politico notes that Representative Elijah Cummings (D, MD) brought up the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case and again urged the President to do more to address the incident.

Obama told Democrats that he is still looking for ways to use the Department of Justice to address the issue instead of trying to pass legislation.

In the immediate aftermath of Zimmerman’s not guilty verdict, several African American Democrats and other top Democrat leaders called for the federal government to act.

LA Times: Global Warming Will Cause Violence to Rise

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Los Angeles Times has seen the future and it is filled with a rising tide of violence all due to climate change.

In a piece on the results of a study by several UC Berkeley researchers, the Times warns that if we don’t “get our act together” and address climate change, then we will see an “alarming” rise in war and “interpersonal violence” due to climbing global temperatures.

For the newspaper, science writer Monte Morin kicked off his report quoting crime novel author Raymond Chandler who helpfully noted in a 1938 crime novel that summer heat brings out the worst in people.

From that bit of pop culture, Morin claimed that “social commentators” have “long suggested” that high temperatures cause men’s temper to flare and then moved on to the Berkeley researchers who found “strong causal evidence” to suggest that global warming will have us all at each other’s throats by the year 2050.

Hawaii Lawmakers Want to Buy One-Way Tickets Off the Island for Homeless

-By Warner Todd Huston

“Dear homeless, you have been voted off the island.” That is what some Hawaii lawmakers are saying with a plan to allocate state funds to buy one-way tickets off the Island for the state’s homeless population. It is two Democrats sponsoring the program, too.

Now, wait… two Democrats are sponsoring legislation to ship the homeless off the island? Yep. So, doesn’t that break the claim that only the left cares about the homeless. Yep.

It’s all a case of NIMBY, not in my back yard. Oh, these Democrats love the homeless… when they are someone else’s problem.

The “Return To Home” program will give any homeless person a one-way ticket back to the contiguous United States if they can show that someone will take them in.

Lawmakers have funded the program with $100,000 each year for three years. It was created by Democrat state Rep. John Mizuno, the vice speaker of the House of reps.

Sycophancy: White House Pool Reporter Yells Out Birthday Wishers to Prez

-By Warner Todd Huston

During an availability in the Oval Office on August 1, a White House reporter interrupted questions being asked of President Obama and Yemeni President Rabbuh Mansur Hadi with wishes for a happy birthday. Not too sycophantic, eh?

President Obama turns 52 on August 4.

The Weekly Standard reported the press pool blurb saying:

Pool was ushered into Oval Office at 5pm, where POTUS was seated with President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi of Yemen.

Will send full transcript of their remarks after this. Here’s a quick overview.

POTUS and Hadi both spoke for about five minutes apiece, through translators. Both appeared pretty relaxed, listened intently as the other spoke. Topics included the partnership between the US and Yemen, our joint counterterrorism efforts, the growing push for change and democracy among Yemeni youth.

POTUS ignored a handful of questions tossed out by poolers at the end, about Russia and Snowden, and about Guantanamo.

Your pooler also heard someone say, “Happy birthday.” POTUS’ birthday is Aug. 4.

Facebook Removes GOP Texas Attorney General’s New Campaign Ad

-By Warner Todd Huston

Again showing how easy it is to have conservatives blocked or removed from Facebook, the new video campaign ad for Dan Branch, the Republican candidate for Texas Attorney General, was removed from the social media giant for “community standards” violations.

The ad, a fairly standard campaign ad, was removed and the candidate’s page blocked likely because Branch’s opponents flagged the Facebook posting.

The theme of the ad is “Come And Take It!,” and is filled with images of flags, pledges, hand holding, people in prayer, and talk of limited government, traditional marriage, and pro-life issues. It’s all pretty standard fare, especially for a Texas Republican.

TN Newspaper Editor Fired for ‘Take Your Jobs Plan and Shove it, Mr. President’ Headline

-By Warner Todd Huston

Newspaper editor Drew Johnson was fired by the Times Free Press of Chattanooga, Tennessee for posting a headline that told President Obama to take his jobs plan and “shove it.”

On a July 30th editorial board piece (one without a writer’s byline) about the President’s visit to a Chatanooga Amazon.com shipping center, editor Johnson titled the piece “Take Your Jobs Plan and Shove it, Mr. President.” Apparently his bosses weren’t amused.

The editorial is now titled “President Obama’s Policies Have Harmed Chatanooga Enough,” but before the title change the editorial weighed in as the paper’s most visited pages on its website. But success wasn’t enough for the paper’s publishers. [Note, the original headline can still be seen contained in the web address of the page. Look to your web browser address field to see it.]
