Ben Breedlove had to fight a life-threatening heart condition all his life. He finally lost that fight on Christmas night, but not before he recorded these two beautiful videos telling the stories of his near-death experiences and talking about his thoughts on death. http://www.buzzfeed.com/jpmoore/heartbreaking-videos-a-teenager-made-the-week-befo

AURORA, Colo. -- A customer who didn't get his Call of Duty video game became so irate he threatened to shoot employees and blow up a Best Buy store in Aurora, police said Tuesday. Police were called just after midnight to the Best Buy near Interstate 70 and Tower Road. The customer in question, 31 year-old Lomorin Sar, had reportedly pre-ordered the popular game earlier in the day, then became irate when the store ran out of copies.

It seems that today's tech-obsessed culture will do anything they can to avoid interacting face-to-face! So singer Elliott Yamin helped us adjust the classic Stevie Wonder love song "I Just Called To Say I Love You" and update it with a more modern twist.

Brendan Toller’s documentary I Need That Record! The Death (or Possible Survival) of the Independent Record Store (2010) brings a good deal of personality and attitude (in the best sense) to the story of the demise of the independent record store, though it might just as well tell the story of the demise of the independent video or book store, all of which are victims of the same forces: box store encroachment followed by on-line revolution, all feeding the bottom lines of large corporations that don’t particularly give a damn about records, or movies, or books. The restaurant business has...

I was very surprised one year ago on April 20, 2010 with the Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Stevens and that the decision came down with such an overwhelming 8 to 1 majority. But the unpredictable Supreme Court left only Judge Samuel Alito arguing that Congress's ban on the distribution of animal cruelty videos should not be voided under the First Amendment's protection of the freedom of speech. Justice Alito wrote: "The Court’s approach, which has the practical effect of legalizing the sale of such [animal cruelty] videos and is thus likely to spur a resumption of their...

The first video is two cats playing pattycake. The owner of the cats says that her two cats "Goo" and "Yat Jai" are playing patty cake or Wing Chun Sticky hands! They do this all the time and that she finally caught it on video. When they realized she was filming, they stops and then resumed when they thought she wasn't looking anymore. Someone else saw the video online and added the voice over. It is the voice over that truly makes this video so great. In the second video, you will see an Australian kayaker who is fishing...

It looks like James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas may have some ‘splaining to do after an analysis by The Blaze reveals some selective editing of the recently released NPR videos. The most damning video was the one where now former NPR executive Ron Schiller was quoted as calling the Tea Partiers as racists. However a further look at the raw footage shows that Schiller was actually discussing what an Republican Ambassador was saying.

Stung by allegations of incendiary, racist and homophobic rhetoric at tea party rallies last year, conservative activists with flipcams and camera phones have circulated at the union protests sprouting up across the country in hopes of catching violent or abusive behavior by their liberal adversaries. The resulting photos and videos have ricocheted around the conservative blogosphere in recent days, prompting mounting outrage on the right.

Obama Admin Ignores Planned Parenthood Sex Trafficking Videos Washington, DC -- Lila Rose, the head of the Live Action organization that released videos showing Planned Parenthood centers helping undercover investigators posting as sex traffickers, says the Obama administration is ignoring the potential crimes. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/03/02/obama-admin-ignores-planned-parenthood-sex-trafficking-videos/

The U.S. Navy will temporarily relieve Capt. Owen Honors of his post pending investigation of the series of explicit videos he is said to have produced when he was second in command of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, sources tell ABC News. Capt. Honors is under investigation for a series of raunchy videos in which he appeared from 2006 to 2007. The videos featured a series of skits that aimed to provide some humor during the long deployment at sea. At the time the videos were produced, the Enterprise was operating in support of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq....

Youtube needs to crack down much harder on vid eos that promote violent jihad. While the Web site has made some efforts to remove videos that violate its ban on terror promotion, thousands remain. Indeed, videos that glorify and promote terrorism continue to flood the site; YouTube needs to find a way more consistent and sustained approach, or find itself sucked into an endless game of "whack-a-mole." In October, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Queens-Brooklyn) wrote YouTube executives asking them to remove all material featuring Anwar al-Awlaki -- the American-Yemeni cleric fingered as the ideological inspiration of Faisal Shahzad, the would-be Times...

In little to no time, Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey has become one of the most beloved and admired conservatives in the country. Christie, a son of an Irish father and a Sicilian mother, has a simple approach to politics: he's always honest, afraid of no one, and speaks truth to power. If some people don't want to hear the truth because they fear it, well, that's their problem. He says what he believes, and he does what he says, the consequences be damned. At a time when Washington D.C. is controlled by ideological leftists who are constantly pushing a radical...

Potential jail time for the alleged ringleader of a scheme to put fake “Tea Party” candidates on the ballot in Michigan.

Early this afternoon, in response to an angry blog post response by a reader which read like an out-of-control rant, which very much took me by surprise. Just reading it, which shows a reader who is just is in screaming panic, knowing that a movement to pushback reckless spending and out-of-control government regulations is creating a just angry backlash against the radical socialism of the President Barak Obama White House. Even President Obama’s base of support among Democrats and liberals are not only are in “panic meltdown mode”, but are even are abandoning the sinking ship called the Obama White...

Berlin - The more devout a young Muslim male in Germany is, the more likely he is to resort to violence, according to a federally financed study seen Saturday by the German Press Agency dpa. The study, based on interviews with 45,000 boys and girls aged 14 to 16, also concluded that male supremacist views and a preference for violent videos and computer games link closely with mosque attendance among the young. It compared Christians and Muslims.

The Senate campaign of Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal today released a link to a video in which the campaign points out that he said he did not serve in Vietnam. The release of the video comes amid allegations, made by a story in the New York Times, that he misrepresented his military service. Read today's story from the Register online: here   In a second video, released by the campaign of Republican Linda McMahon, he is shown saying that he did serve in Vietnam. The Times story, posted on its website Monday night, points to several occasions when Blumenthal. a Democrat,  made reference to...

Praise God ... pro-lifer Todd Bullis, of Ventura, CA, activist fame, has created Pro-Lifetube.com. The pro-life community has needed this for a long time!

This video was emailed to me recently by a friend, who told me that the owners of this adorable dog thought that the neighborhood children were sneaking into their pool when they were gone. So they decided to set up a hidden camera to catch the little pranksters. Only problem is that the prankster turned out to be their dog. The great thing about this video is the way the dog is actually enjoying his frolic down the slide and into the pool so much that he is actually running back up and down the slide time and time...

SAN FRANCISCO — Three Hayward cousins have pleaded guilty to shooting a man in the face with a BB gun because they thought he was gay, and were sentenced to six months in jail. Mohammad Habibzada, 24, Shafiq Hashemi, 21, and Sayed Bassam, 21, also will be on probation for three years and must complete as much as 400 hours of community service, including 40 hours of hate-crime sensitivity training, according to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. Police said the men went to San Francisco on Feb. 26 armed with an air rifle and video camera, targeting people who...

The Supreme Court struck down a federal law Tuesday aimed at banning videos depicting graphic violence against animals, saying that it violates the constitutional right to free speech. Chief Justice John J. Roberts Jr., writing for an eight-member majority, said the law was overly broad and not allowed by the First Amendment. He rejected the government's argument that whether certain categories of speech deserve constitutional protection depends on balancing the value of the speech against its societal costs.

I guess OneVike received this video in an email from his Uncle. At the time when he posted this video to his blog he really din't know who's children they were, but considering he has hundreds of relatives around America that he has never met, he decided not to even attempt to guess who's children they are. Since it was posted though I found out that they are the Tuttle kids, from Calif. Their Dad is a music teacher/performer. Molly, the girl in the hat on the left, has made a name for herself at some music festivals/open mics....

Convenience, choice drawing consumers to other movie options On a recent weekday, Ken Moore browsed the new release wall at Hollywood Video but he couldn’t avoid the “Store Closing’’ banners that draped the inside and outside of the Quincy store. “I’m like a dinosaur,’’ said the father of two from Milton. “People tell me ‘You’re still going to the video store?’ and I’m like ‘Yeah.’ ’’ Moore is a part of a growing minority of movie renters who shun the convenience of instantly uploading moves online or grabbing a DVD at supermarket kiosks in favor of roaming the aisles of...

Hey you all, a fellow Freeper who uses the ID, OneVike is out of town, and he asked if I would post a link for the most popular videos that he has found to date. He put this list together last week and asked if I would be kind enough to post it for him. He is out of town because his wife is in dire straights. It seems she has had a turn for the worse with her surgery they did down in UC Davis. They operated on her neck and he humbly asks for all his fellow Freepers...

Check out this video of what happened last year during the "Believe" show at San Diego's SeaWorld, a pelican decided to drop in for the show. Unfortunately for the pelican, the whales decided to take a brake from the show and have the pelican for lunch instead. The person who captured this video was in the right place at the right time. Unfortunately for the pelican it was in the wrong place at the wrong time. During a portion of the show where a young child it introduced to a friendly whale, the pelican landed onto the pool. Suddenly out...

*Gangs set up roadblocks in capital * Desperate looters stealing supplies The bullets whizzing over our heads are all the proof we need that things are starting to get ugly here. Desperation has gripped Port-au-Prince. Gangs are now in control of some parts, setting up roadblocks and seizing the scant amount of food or supplies that cross their paths. Post photographer Bill Farrington and I saw this anarchy firsthand as we drove through a particularly lawless part of town at around dusk.

New rules to be introduced by government decree will require people who upload videos onto the Internet to obtain authorization from the Communications Ministry similar to that required by television broadcasters, drastically reducing freedom to communicate over the Web, opposition lawmakers have warned. The decree is ostensibly an enactment of a European Union (EU) directive on product placement and is due to go into effect at the end of January after being subjected to a nonbinding appraisal by parliament. On Thursday opposition lawmakers held a press conference in parliament to denounce the new rules -- which require government authorization for...

Many of us have either ice fished or at least seen pictures or videos of ice fishing. However, you really need to check out this video of a few guys ice fishing in Russia. While watching this video, I ask that you think about these three questions. First question is, when was the last time you saw this many fish caught by a few guys while ice fishing. The second question would be, if this was filmed in America, how many laws do you think they would be in violation of. Finally I want you to ask yourself, when...

WASHINGTON – Insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan have hacked into live video feeds from Predator drones, a key weapon in a Pentagon spy system that serves as the military's eyes in the sky for surveillance and intelligence collection. Though militants could see the video, there is no evidence they were able to jam the electronic signals from the unmanned aerial craft or take control of the vehicles, a senior defense official said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence issues. Obtaining the video feeds can provide insurgents with critical information about what the military may be targeting,...

Such is the level of indignation on the right at the left’s nastiness towards her and those who might abet it that I got yelled at by a friend last night for posting this. Now Radar gives us something new, which isn’t the only claim out there that she’s made more than one “biggest mistake of my life.� I understand the defensiveness on her behalf — search the archives and you’ll see that I’ve written plenty in her favor — but I also get Ace’s exasperation: My problem, instead, is that she has enlisted supporters, such as myself, to support...

Two videos produced by Osama bin Laden's al Qaida terrorist network have been found in the home of a Chicago man accused of plotting an armed attack on a Danish newspaper, federal prosecutors said. Bin Laden appears on one of the DVDs, describing the lives of four so-called martyrs "on behalf of Islam," and other footage focused on the cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad published in the Copenhagen newspaper, prosecutors said in papers filed late Friday. Those cartoons sparked outrage in much

The shocking ACORN videos produced and distributed by James O'Keefe, Hannah Giles and Andrew Brietbart reflect the founding purpose of ACORN: creating chaos to overwhelm the system. As I reported last September, and as Glenn Beck and others have reported since then, ACORN was created specifically to execute the Cloward Piven Strategy of manufactured crisis across our country. This series of videos demonstrates in microcosm how ACORN workers promote the strategy. By agitating for mortgage loans that the borrowers could never repay, ACORN and similar groups were primarily responsible for the conditions that led to our current financial crisis. This...

Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) introduced an amendment to the HUD and Transportation appropriation bill to strip ACORN of all federal funding. A week ago, Johanns wouldn’t have gotten the amendment to the floor. Today, however, after three straight days of BigGovernment.com’s video exposés of ACORN offices in Washington DC, New York City, and Baltimore offering assistance to pimping, tax evasion, and trafficking in underage Salvadorean girls, Johanns not only got his vote — but he got an impressive bipartisan showing. The Senate passed the Johanns amendment 83-7. At the beginning of the vote, it appeared that Democrats might resist. Initially,...

WASHINGTON -- This is your money at work. At work in the red-light district. And your government is the pimp who handles your "investment." Over the last six years, more than $10 million of your hard-earned money has been taken by the federal government and handed to ACORN, which we now know is ready and eager to use your money to finance whorehouses. What could possibly be more fitting? These tapes from inside ACORN offices in Washington, Baltimore and now Brooklyn make your skin crawl.
