Are teachers being pushed to the edge? That is what the O’Reilly Factor asked tonight. Bill O’Reilly has been following what appears to be a growth in teacher-student violence. Bill O’Reilly showed shocking video – this particular one he has yet to share – of a male teacher in St. Louis slamming a chair down and pushing a 16-year-old girl. That teacher, 36-year-old Peter Sheppard, has been charged with a misdemeanor. No word on whether the student has been charged.

Have you looked at your phone bill lately? There is a “universal service fee charge” that funds this program, which to be fair, was extended under George W. Bush.
Data mining, micro targeting based on that data and an unprecedented GOTV effort, all helped the Obama campaign in their efforts to reelect President Obama. However, and what the media has not told you, is that the Obama campaign used behavioral psychology to exploit our human nature, specifically the negative aspects to our nature.
