New Corporate Powers In Secret Trade Deal

""The Obama administration appears to have almost no international support for controversial new trade standards that would grant radical new political powers to corporations, increase the cost of prescription medications and restrict bank regulation, according to two internal memos obtained by The Huffington Post.

The memos, which come from a government involved in the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade negotiations, detail continued disputes in the talks over the deal. The documents reveal broad disagreement over a host of key positions, and general skepticism that an agreement can be reached by year-end. The Obama administration has urged countries to reach a deal by New Year's Day, though there is no technical deadline...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down."

Conservatives Attack Gingrich For Mandela Praise

""And so we come into a new week with a new litmus test to end all litmus tests for True Conservative politicians: Do they have kind words for the recently deceased Nelson Mandela? Because if they... do?... then they may be secret liberal communists who love terrorism. Most people in the world went on their Facebook or Twitter pages last Thursday night to share some positive thoughts or a quote after the former South African revolutionary-turned-president died at 95. "Most people in the world," in this rare case, included the Republican politician Newt Gingrich. Gingrich — admirably — was one of the House Republicans who (tried) to push President Reagan to speak and act more strongly against the apartheid government in the '80s. It is a stance he is deservedly proud of taking...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down."

Ted Cruz Coloring Book For Kids Who Love Indoctrination

""Just in time for the holiday season, a controversial publisher has released a new coloring book for children about Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

The Missouri-based publisher, Really Big Coloring Books, describes its book as "a non-partisan, fact-driven view of how Texas Sen. Rafael Edward 'Ted' Cruz became a U.S. senator and details, through his quotes and public information his ideas for what he believes will help America grow."

The book states that Cruz supports the Second Amendment, unlike Obama who has a "consistent disregard" for constitutional rights. It invites children to color-in the Ten Commandments on a page devoted to the United States national motto, "In God We Trust.""* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down."

War On Christmas Ad - Real or Parody?

"Is this 'war on Christmas' ad that's been playing on Fox News and MSNBC in some markets real or a parody? "The YouTube page for the ad lists the creators as "St. Mary's At Large," and "Msgr. Kennard J. Tuzeneu" as the executive producer. The Raw Story e-mailed the organization, which is linked to St. Mary's Parish in Barnegat, New Jersey, and we're still waiting for a response...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down."

Gay Waitress Who Forged Homophobic Receipt - Update

""At least three duped donors who gave money to a waitress and former Marine who claimed a family left her a homophobic note instead of a tip have had their donations refunded via PayPal, according to the founder of the web site that had first publicized the story and posts on the site.

Dayna Morales, a waitress at Gallop Asian Bistro, N.J., made national headlines and received an outpouring of public support and at least $3,000 in donations after she claimed a family stiffed her and instead left her a note on the receipt reading, "Sorry, I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and the way you live your life."

But after an unidentified couple came forward days later with a customer receipt and bank statement to prove that they had in fact left Dayna Morales an $18 tip on top of the $93.55 check, former friends of Morales also came forward claiming she was a compulsive liar."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down."

Fox News Vs Pope Francis

'"Conservatives' uneasy relationship with Pope Francis I got even more complicated after he issued his recent apostolic exhortation that criticized the "idolatry of money." Judge Andrew Napolitano blasted the pope for "attacking free-market capitalism." Rush Limbaugh accused him of preaching "pure Marxism." And now, in an op-ed for FoxNews.com, editor Adam Shaw takes things one step further by calling Pope Francis the "Catholic Church's Obama," and not in a positive way...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down."
