We won't hear the court's decision until spring but that won't stop Karen from Spouting Off about it! Other issues in the oven are:
The hysterical Trump-hating media
Karen's new piece in The Daily Caller asking Liberal Jews to stop the Christianophobia
Saturday Night Live and the Left's (same thing) obsession with stereotyping, They used to admonish everybody else from doing that!
Karen's new piece in the Daily Caller. She coins the phrase, "Christianophobia" or does she? That and more on this edition of Spouting Off!

Feng Shui expert, Entrepreneur
Susanna Utbult is a Feng Shui from Sweden. She has studied and practiced Feng Shui since 1998.
As a feng shui expert,she owns and runs the Nordic School for Feng Shui and has taught several hundred students. Since Susanna took over the school in 2010 she has grown to love teaching and helping people to create better homes and better lives. Susanna also design houses for clients who are in the process of building there own home and they just want to get it right (this time).
After being a Feng Shui expert for many years I have realized the home is just one side of the coin for creating a better life. The other side of the coin is YOU, the customer. It really doesn´t matter if you have a great home according to Feng Shui, if you are in a confused and in a mess internally. You just need to do the work to get the whole coin to shine the way you deserve. This is your birthright.
Susanna has developed a way to mix Feng Shui with the teachings of Bob Proctor, from Canada. The decluttering of body/mind/spirit is uplifting and brings Light and balance into your home.

Author
Mark Shaw is a former criminal defense attorney and legal analyst for CNN, ESPN, and USA Today for the Mike Tyson, O.J. Simpson and Kobe Bryant cases, Mark Shaw is an investigative reporter and the author of 20+ books whose latest is "The Reporter Who Knew Too Much: The Mysterious Death of What's My Line TV Star and Media Icon Dorothy Kilgallen." More about the book at www.thereporterwhoknewtoomuch.com with Mark's book signing presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw4y3bWZWnE.
Mr Shaw, a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the California Bar, has also written "The Poison Patriarch," "Miscarriage of Justice," and "Beneath the Mask of Holiness." He has also penned articles for The New York Daily News, USA Today, Huffington Post and the Aspen Daily News, which he co-founded. More about Mr. Shaw, who lives in the San Francisco area, may be learned at markshawbooks.com and Wikipedia (Mark William Shaw.)
For more than fifty years, the exhaustive 18-month investigation of the JFK assassination by What's My Line? television star, celebrated journalist, and revered investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen has been buried due to a cover-up by those threatened with a tell-all book she was writing about the JFK assassination for Random House. When the famed journalist, called by the New York Post, "the most powerful female voice in America," was found dead in her Manhattan apartment in November 1965 of an alleged drug overdose, no investigation occurred despite a staged death scene and suspicions by those closest to her that she had been murdered.
Now the full thrust of Kilgallen's search for the truth is exposed for the first time. Relying on Kilgallen's toxic columns blasting the "Oswald Alone" theory, her flawed autopsy report and never-before-seen videotaped interviews with Kilgallen's two hairdressers, one who found her body, and Jack Ruby co-counsel Joe Tonahill, who permitted her the only interviews Ruby gave to a reporter at his trial, Mark Shaw’s book presents a true crime “whodunit” murder mystery with multiple suspects abounding including Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Mafia Don Carlos Marcello and a “mystery man” the What’s My Line? star met shortly before she died. While focusing on motive for Dorothy Kilgallen's shocking death, the author presents, through Kilgallen's eyes, the most compelling evidence about the JFK assassination since the House Select Committee on Assassinations investigation in the 1970s.
Most importantly, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much points to one startling verdict: Kilgallen was denied justice following her death. That is, until now.

URIAH HEEP LEGENDARY KEYBOARDIST & SONGWRITER
KEN HENSLEY
IS THE SPECIAL GUEST
ON THE RAY SHASHO SHOW
From childhood poet to legendary status is a long, long road and it´s hard to cut this particular story short .... so why try?
Born in London with music in his family and in his blood, Ken formed the dream of being a rock star at the age of 11 when he bribed his parents into buying him a guitar.
Armed with not much more than sheer determination he moved from step to step always looking for a way to advance his powerful ambitions.
This was achieved through bands like The Gods which went through several incarnations before recording 2 albums for EMI Records and until the formation of Uriah Heep in 1970, the group in which all of his dreams came true and which changed his life forever and in many ways.
Ken will tell you that he is a first and foremost a writer/composer/lyricist and his enormous history of world-wide hit records is testimony to this, as is his history of world-wide sales of over 40 million records.
After returning to Europe from the US, Ken began the climb back into rock & roll history and in 2007 released the acclaimed rock opera Blood On The Highway.
Steadily Ken grew back into the consciousness of his huge fan base and, either solo or with Live Fire, the live performances thrilled audiences from Norway to Russia and all points in between.
With his classic autobiography, "When Too Many Dreams Come True" printed in English, Russian and Bulgarian, the man who first made his mark in the 20th century is now clearly capturing the 21st.
With a new CD of rare songs already mixed, 2012 saw the release of another stunning solo CD, "Love & Other Mysteries" and the recording of a double live CD and DVD with Live Fire. It was also the 50th anniversary of his life on the road … "50 Years On The Job" !!!
In 2013, Cherry Red Records released a brilliant new Live Fire CD called "TROUBLE" which embodied all the lyrical and musical power of Ken´s best efforts with Heep, transformed into a 21st century classic album.
Live Fire merged some of these great tracks into their live shows as they stormed every market they visited.
2013 also saw a dramatic increase in the demand for Ken´s solo shows and this momentum rolled right into 2014, with Live Fire making its first appearance in Russia, with two sold-out shows in Moscow and Kaluga.
With tours in Ukraine, Crimea, Latvia and Russia, Ken continued to grow the audience for his solo shows and The Legends continued with two memorable concerts on The November "Rock Cruise".
Before anyone knew it, it was already 2015 and Ken began finishing a bunch of new songs for a CD to be recorded this year.
Teamed with Steve Weltman, his partner, manager and friend, they are planning (some would say "plotting") a lot of interesting projects for this year and next, so stay tuned here to get all the updates.
It has been said before and it´s worth saying again .....
Ken Hensley is a rock & roll legend with no plans to stop.
