One Direction member Harry Styles is being forced to dodge gay rumors once again. Speculation of Styles being gay has surfaced once again after the boy band member was rumored to be in a gay relationship with Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw, who is already out of the closet. However, Styles denied being in a relationship with Grimshaw and the 1D member said that he is not gay or bisexual.
Follow Us
Speaking to GQ Magazine, Styles called the gay rumors "annoying" and the One Direction member insisted that he is straight. "We're just friends," said Styles. "Bisexual? Me? I don't think so."
SEE ALSO: Niall Horan Is An Uncle!
Last year, Styles dodged rumors that he was in a gay relationship with fellow One Direction member Louis Tomlinson. However, both Styles and Tomlinson slammed the gay rumors and said it was affecting the way they interacted with each other. "This is a subject that was funny at first, but is now hard to deal with as I am in a relationship," said Tomlinson. "We want to joke around, but there seems to be a different rumor every time we do anything. I act the same way with Harry as I do any of the other boys."
Whether Styles is gay or not, the One Direction singer seems to be comfortable with homosexuality. Earlier this month, he spoke out against the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church when the group protested outside of a 1D show with "God Hates F*gs" signs. "Despite the company outside, I believe in equal rights for everyone," said Styles. "I think God loves all. Thanks for coming to the show though."
RELATED: Daniel Radcliffe Says He's Not Hot!
Unfortunately, the gay rumors facing Styles and other One Direction band members seem to show no signs of slowing down. Rumors started that 1D members Liam Payne and Zayn Malik were dating after the music video for their song "Best Song Ever," was released, in which Malik dresses as a girl and Payne "plays gay." Last month, Styles kissed Malik on the cheek in a promo video for their new fragrance, "One Moment."
Their competition has even gotten in on the gay rumors. Fellow British boy band The Wanted added fuel to the fire when singer Max George said he wouldn't be surprised if Tomlinson came out as gay and declared that he would be the first member of 1D to do so. The Wanted's Tom Parker also tweeted Tomlinson and wrote: "I'll enjoy the press even more when you come clean. #narnia #itgetsbetter."

Ed. Note: Hear this important story of public interest activist Richard Winger (as told by Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times):
Here's a question about Charles Munger Jr. that's been buried by coverage of his $35 million in campaign spending to pass an anti-union initiative and torpedo Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative in next week's election: Has he been maneuvering to bankrupt a public interest activist who had the temerity to mount a court challenge to one of his previous initiatives?
That's the picture of the multimillionaire being painted by the activist, Richard Winger, 69, who has run San Francisco-based Ballot Access News since 1985. To say Winger's efforts to track voter-rights litigation nationwide operate on a shoestring is to insult shoestrings; he says his income in each of the last two years came to $6,000.
Now he's been hit with a $243,000 bill for legal fees incurred by Munger, Winger's adversary in his unsuccessful lawsuit to overturn Proposition 14. That's the Munger-backed 2010 "open primary" initiative that turned the general election into a runoff between the top two vote-getters in the primary, regardless of their party.
Experts in public interest law say the fee award, if it stands, will have a chilling effect on public advocates and community activists who use the courts to challenge government decisions and even private business deals. "If citizens who dare to challenge these corporate-funded propositions then have to pay these corporate lawyers, nobody's going to do it," Rosenfield observes.
The fee award astonishes even experts who disagree with Winger's legal position, such as Richard Hasen, an election law expert at UC Irvine. In his authoritative Election Law Blog thus summer, Hasen called the award "absolutely outrageous," arguing that such assessments against losing litigants are justified only when an action is frivolous or in bad faith. "This lawsuit was neither," he wrote.

Huma Abedin's Brotherhood Ties Are Not Just a Family Affair
Senator John McCain's claim that concerns about Huma Abedin are a smear based on "a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations" proves more embarrassing by the day. In fact, to the extent it addressed Ms. Abedin, the letter sent to the State Department's inspector general by five House conservatives actually understated the case.
The letter averred that Abedin "has three family members — her late father, her mother and her brother — connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations." It turns out, however, that Abedin herself is directly connected to Abdullah Omar Naseef, a major Muslim Brotherhood figure involved in the financing of al-Qaeda. Abedin worked for a number of years at the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs as assistant editor of its journal. The IMMA was founded by Naseef, who remained active in it for decades, overlapping for several years with Abedin. Naseef was also secretary general of the Muslim World League in Saudi Arabia, perhaps the most significant Muslim Brotherhood organization in the world. In that connection, he founded the Rabita Trust, which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under American law due to its support of al-Qaeda.
You ought to be able to stop right there.
A person is not required to have done anything wrong to be denied a high-ranking government position, or more immediately, the security clearance allowing access to classified information that is necessary to function in such a job. There simply need be associations, allegiances, or interests that establish a potential conflict of interest.
Government jobs and access to the nation's secrets are privileges, not rights. That is why the potential conflict needn't stem from one's own associations with hostile foreign countries, organizations, or persons. Vicarious associations, such as one's parents' connections to troublesome persons and organizations, are sufficient to create a potential conflict.
In this instance, however, before you even start probing the extensive, disturbing Brotherhood ties of her family members, Huma Abedin should have been ineligible for any significant government position based on her own personal and longstanding connection to Naseef's organization.
Specifically, Ms. Abedeen was affiliated with the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, where she was assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The journal was the IMMA's raison d'etre. Abedin held the position of assistant editor from 1996 through 2008 — from when she began working as an intern in the Clinton White House until shortly before she took her current position as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff.

Abedin's mother and I were Sociology teaching assistants at Penn back in the late 1960′s. She always wore traditional (but expensive-looking) Pakistani clothing. Saleha never interacted with the rest of us any more than professionally necessary. I chalked it up to her being a foreigner tossed into a mob of talkative Yanks. Perhaps there was more to it even in those days, but I don't read minds.

Accusing McCain, Boehner, et al of having Muslim Brotherhood sympathies is frankly giving them too much credit. Based on previous observations I'm going with the Occam's Razor approach. What we got here is the Sir Galahad phenomenon wherein they feel it necessary to chivalrously rush to the aid of a pretty lass. Whether as a cheap opportunity to show the Left that they don't hate women after all or simply a stimulus response without any engagement of the cerebral cortex.
By way of example, I hereby reference the 1997 Kelly Flinn scandal. She was one of the feminist Golden Girls promoted in the wake of the Tailhook scandal and The Year of the Woman to become the Air Force's first female B-52 pilot and recruiting poster doyenne. She promptly made a spectacle of herself by first boffing an enlisted subordinate, then repeatedly riding the hobbyhorse with the civilian husband of another enlisted subordinate, even after she was formally warned by her command to stop.
When this blew up, then majority leader Trent Lott rose gallantly to the little lady's defense–not knowing the first thing about her or her misdeeds. He made a complete ass of himself (not for the first nor last time) for no good reason. I think what we're looking at here is a similar performance, either that, or it's another one of those gestures of "collegiality" that always seem to go in one direction only.

A book entitle Arabists, the romance of the American Elite, by Robert Kaplan, should be required reading by anyone interested in the Middle East. The attitudes of that elite, clustered in the Dept of State, are very damaging to the USA's foreign policy towards the Middle East.
It is about time that these Muslim Brotherhood connections of Abedin are becoming publicized. I remember reading about these when she married Weiner. Who is JEWISH. At the time, pre Internet Follies, I believe he was slated to be on some committee dealing with foreign affairs.

Deep Cover resident
I can't think of any better deep cover for what our Russian friends in the espionage business call a "resident" than to marry a very liberal & somewhat foolish Jewish man. After all, the marriage is NOT RECOGNIZED in Islam. It is simply "unlawful". But this is a non-recognized marriage anyway: a US civil marriage. So there is no harm done.

Not much different from breeding your daughter with a black communist and using communist connections in Seattle, Honolulu, and, later, Indonesia and the US to build a legend for a deep sleeper that with the help of Soros-organized Muslim money you intall as President of the US to carry out your plans for the US' demise as a World power.

I used to think we were being a little paranoid with your thoughts. Call us anything you want, but commonsense starts to take over. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Now I think that our 'lawmakers' have their heads in the sand and hope it all goes away before sundown. Somebody better wake up and save the treasury and our country. I don't think the people in there right now are going to do it….

Mr. G
As for your link I don't see it as relevant. It is officially stated there that Islamic men can marry Jews and Christians (though it is frowned upon) but Islamic women can not marry any non-Islamic men. The assertion that this would be ok because it is civil marriage only doesn't seem to hold. The worry would still be that the man would dominate the woman and she would go off the path whereas in an Islamic marriage between Islamic male and non-Islamic female the male would dominate. The actual means of marriage is not the issue. I think we should assume the plainest meaning after all these are the advocates for the most literal sharia.
If we look at the plain meaning we have a bigger problem explaining the marriage. Is it simply for show and the baby is not his? Did Weiner undergo some sort of sharia acceptable conversion process (more likely)?
By the way under Jewish law Weiner is not Jewish and I cling to that. Believe me I cling to that.
July 27, 2012 - 11:16 am Link to this Comment | Reply-
Don't know where you get the idea that "according to Jewish law Weiner is not Jewish". I saw a video of his mother being asked if she was Jewish and she said she was. That's all that is needed to be Jewish – being born to a Jewish woman. Except of course conversion.

Correct – assuming Mama Weiner was telling the truth. Has anybody traced her family tree?

The question is not whether the five House conservatives were off-base in asking for an investigation into ties between administration officials and Islamist organizations. The question is why the other 430 members of the House haven't joined them — and why John McCain, John Boehner, and other Republican establishment luminaries are championing the Muslim Brotherhood's side of the dispute.
That is the question.

This seems so obvious, yet all of this infiltration and Saudi financed influence in places like Georgetown University with the Saudi "chair' of something or other, along with that imam or professor there at Georgetown Univ. named…

Imam Yahya Hendi is the Muslim chaplain at Georgetown University, the first American University to hire a full-time Muslim chaplain. Imam Hendi is also the …", end paste from out of Google.Are these known Muslim Trojans convenient listening point/posts for our intelligence specialists? If so, fine….but I can't believe, don't want to believe that this lethal political correctness has gone so far. There's way too many unknown enemy Muslims in our midst.
I hope responsible people in our current Congress are on "Muslim Watch"…..but where's the evidence of common sense in our Congress?….in fighting this decade long war against these Trojan Muslims?….a War openly declared by these Muslims themselves against America?
I was in South east Asia for most of the 1960′s as a civilian, and therefore I cannot understand John McCain's gentlemanly stance in our current embarrassment ….after what he's been through there.
The parallels between Communist infiltration and subversion with these same practices of our current Muslim enemies are striking.
Where are the experienced Asia hands who should be aware…very aware…of our inexplicable domestic weaknesses?

I guess this explains why average American's are now the "terrorists" in the government's eyes. Looks like they have been quite succesful changing our country from the inside out. Welcome to the new world. No wonder Christians (not to be confused with liberation theologians) are the ultimate enemy of this administration.

With a little imagination, one can see the possibility that there could be connections to other leftist radical ideologies that aim to undermine American culture from the inside out. For example, the environmental movement. The book "Ecoscience" blatently outlines the goals and means to undermine America's cultural institutions from the inside out. The environmental movement may also be a deceptively clever way to keep the power in the hands of Middle Eastern oil cartels.

This very issue is becoming obvious to the federal Canadian government: because of our very vague and loose definitions of 'charity', money is pouring in through huge American 'charities' like the Tides Foundation and the Moore foundations, and etc., aimed at slowing down development of our energy resources.
As one person said, given the structure of these organizations, who knows WHERE the money is coming from? One foundation has poured some $30 million into BC First Nations groups, in order to stop a pipeline going from Alberta to the Pacific.
There is indeed a very large part of Western society that despises our economy and our culture.
As to politicians, they are merely very silly, ignorant and shallow people. Just the kind of people who become eager 'fellow travelers' (to bring up an old, but increasingly relevant term.)

Saudi money is pouring into Enviro-Leftist groups to wage lawfare and democratic institutional war on the development of Canadian energy.
And Obama stopped the Keystone Pipeline, and will permanently shelve it, if he is re-elected.

It was all so easy peasy. Distract them with cake and circuses and undermine their traditional values, then go in for the kill and take over. While our culture was drunk on lust and distracted by the frivolous our country as we once knew it passed away quietly into the night. When we awoke, everything we once had known was gone, like dust in the wind.
Do we want this to be our future or is it already our present?

The evidence is overwhelming. There is no way this was a mistake or an oversight. Our federal government is openly and transparently aligned with the mooslim bruthahood; obama, hilary, only God knows how many others. Only a complete overthrow of these traitorous scumbags through the ballot box can solve the problem.
This election is crucial to the survival of our Republic as we know it. Please keep this story on the front page throughout the elections. We must stand strong and united. Stop with all the pusillanimous bromides and call these turncoats exactly what they are. It is time to choose sides – either you put America first, or you do not.

Mr. Goldman proposed in effect in an earlier article in PJ Media that, unless Human Abedin and her possible or real connections constituted a "smoking gun", it would be advisable to not play up an uncertain matter in order to concentrate on the imagery of Obama inviting a Brother president and terrorist, etc. to the WH. The Abedin problematic could deflect from more central campaign issues. In other words, for a presidential campaign, the imagery of Obama and his invites is better than a hunt for compromising "facts" about Abedin with uncertain outcome. Such a hunt opens the door to charges of "McCarthyism", etc. Does your current examination of the person about whom Rep. Bachmann & Co have merely raised a question now constitute a "smoking gun"?

This article does not provide any evidence that Huma Abedin is a Muslim Brotherhood operative. Absolutely nothing tangible is added to the nothingness in evidence provided by Michelle Bachmann and others that Huma Abedin is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.
She was an editor for a muslim minority journal, that does not publish anything sinister about the West, or call for violent acts against non-Muslims. So, what is really her crime? That the institute that publishes the journal was founded by someone affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood? And this should disqualify someone from having security clearance?
Perhaps, we are not on the same page as to what it entails to be granted security clearance in the United States.
It continues to look like a which hunt against Muslims who are in public service, or in any arm of government. The ball is in your court to prove this suspicion otherwise.

The point of the article was that she may have a conflict of interest, not that she was a member. I thought that this was fairly objective.
July 27, 2012 - 12:54 pm Link to this Comment | Reply-
Serving in the capacity as the editor of a benign publication should not be a conflict of interest. The creator of the institute is irrelevant. Has she as an editor been publishing harmful messages? No. So, what else could be the problem, except that she is a Muslim? How many other people are being gone after for affiliations that are unsavory?

Ridiculous. Trent Franks is my congressman and I support him 110%. Why so much push back on what is a reasonable and entirely appropriate inquiry?
You gonna tell me that Hillary's choice for a chief of staff is immune from inquiry in context with today's issues but Condi Rice's would have been likewise? Or that somehow Scooter Libby risked a future knowingly when serving but Huma blindly was drawn to Hillary?
A. McCarthy has been doing yoeman's work in these important matters for years.
He's right on.All we ever get from the likes of you TellMeSumn is just more of the same – move along – nothing here to see. And when that isn't enough – it's HOW DARE YOU…both examples of weak argument.
It is the imperiousness of people like McCain and Clinton; the public can't handle the truth, besides it being so important we must 'protect them.'
Hey, politics ani't bean bag. Such scrutiny comes with the territory. Nothing in YOUR RESPONSE convinces why she should get a pass. I mean it is one thing pre-Arab Spring that she wouldn't raise much suspicion.
If she finds the heat too much she can always go back to the private sector where they welcome her with her background and all the networking she can bring to it.

Things are not done that way. If it were so, anybody can bring any trumped up charges against anyone, and ask for investigation. I'm sure the intelligence community has better things to do than to go after anybody a sector of society does not like.

No one said anything about not liking her. Why do you insist on making this personal? You are putting feelings ahead of reality. That is your problem. The reality is she has a conflict of interest when it comes to the Muslim Brotherhood. Period. Fact. Reality. You think that reality is hate. I suggest getting a dictionary, clearly you don't know the meaning of certain things.

You deliberately ignore her family connections with the Muslim Brotherhood and her being directly connected to them at the same time and in the same place. This ignorance of these facts are exactly why the questions need to be raised.

School boards for one. My friend's sister is a teacher's assistant for the local school board. The board's policy is that Wikipedia can only be used as a source in a school assignment if the citation in Wikipedia can also be supported from another book or website. That policy wouldn't be necessary if Wikipedia were considered a reliable source of information.

It is not a "witch hunt" to take the position that a person with strong and well-substantiated ties, both familial and professional, to a faith deeply opposed to our culture and traditions, with many adherents committed to terrorism, should not be placed in a post with access to foreign policy decisions at the highest level – even if there is no evidence or proof of disloyalty. Even if the likelihood approaches zero.
This is known as prudence and commonsense, and a key consideration in any intelligence matters.

Being a Muslim is a conflict of interest; you cannot be a faithful Muslim and a citizen loyal to the US Constitution because the rights and duties set out in the US Constitution are antithetical to the rights and duties of being a faithful Muslim.

"Same was said of Catholics."
And they were right ….in the 17th century.
Anti-Papism was not some irrational prejudice. The pope was both a spiritual leader and a poweful secular ruler with strong connections to the enemies of England. He could, back then, be reasonably perceived as a threat to any non-Catholic polity.
(He is still the secular ruler [the prince] of a small territory known as the Vatican. But his secular power is so small that nobody would need to worry about a conflict of loyalties by modern-day Catholics. But, that was certainly not true two or three hundred years ago.)
But Huma Abedin is not simply a Muslim. Her close family relatives are members of a hostile foreign organization. If we were in World war II and a German-American person had a security clearance and a high level position in the State Department; and it came to be known that her CLOSE family relatives were members and officials of the Nazi apparatus, would you really object to calling for an investigation into the matter?

Your are playing a game with us, sort of a "TellMeBull" game. Rita Breuer has just printed a new book in German in Germany with the title translated as "In the Name of Allah? The Persecution of Christians". Her book shows that Christians are being persecuted in EVERY country in the world where the majority population is dominant and always "in the Name of Allah"! Not ONE exception!!! The researcher expresses hopes that reform (= effective transformation of "In the Name of Allah"-believers into copycats of Protestants and Catholics in Germany) will be possible, but indicates little hope. She does not make any theological claims about the essence of Islam and violence (though the historian Emmet Scott does claim that Islam is uniquely violent like no other religion is or has been and traces said violence). Raymond Ibrahim of "Pundicity" gives monthly reports on the world wide persecution of Christians in Islamic lands. There is NO parallel of Muslim persecution by Christians that matches in any way the research results of Breuer or Ibrahim, just to mention two sources. When I am confronted with simple "empirical" evidence and when I read histories of the "Muslim Brotherhood", well illustrated Morsi's current desire to have freed the Blind Sheikh (= court convicted person who attempted literally to kill thousands upon thousands of Americans "in the Name of Allah"), it because a rational matter to want scrutiny of any person whose family is connected with and active in the Muslim Brotherhood or Sisterhood. In the 1930s in Germany Chaimberlain and other Brits ignored the explicit program spelled out by the Nazies (as clearly as Brotherhood texts spell out their program) and made "peace in our times" with Hitler which enableed Hitler to become more capable of war). The questions asked by Rep. Bachmann were not accusations, but worry because of familial connections of Adelin to a clearly subversive and terroristic favoring group. What, Mr. TellMeBull is per se anti-Muslim with my concerns? (By the way, a cousin of Adolf Hitler left Germany and preached and lectured against Hitler. Before he was allowed to join the American army he was investigated by the FBI for security risks. After the investigations, the man joing the American army.)
So that you may know I live in Germany in a neighborhood of Turks, Pakastani, Arabs and Kurds–all Muslims to one degree or another. They are, what Germany calls, European Muslims, though a neo-Sultan such as Erdogan can utter statements of a vile nature about Turks "assimilated" to German culture. We live in peace and harmony. There are Salafists here and they are closely watched by the police because they are by word and deed dangerous. Within a German context and with European Muslims (a very small minority of the total population) I would want security clearance of any such Muslim advising the gov. in the same way as I demand it of any non-Muslim German. However, should a Muslim apply to advise the German equivalent the the Sec. of State, I would balk at the idea that said person comes from a family of Salafists, even if said person has only printed cute magazines on growing flowers. "Salafists" in deed and in word are dangerous to the democratic nature of Germany. Connection with them poses needs of security checks. Muslim Brotherhood believers belong to a group as ideologically opposed to Western values as the Salafists. On that basis alone, I think Bachmann & Co's raising questions of security are valid. Claims that I am against all Muslims is just "tellmebull" that, alas, you twist to put your opponents down. As a Christian I would not want try to open a Church in any Middle East "Muslim" countries. Ask the copts in Egypt about their problems. Were I a Muslim, I would legally and without any special problems be able to open a Mosque in Germany (and I live 10 feet from one next door).
Answer for me the following questions if you wish to tell more than the sum of bull: If you were a Christian, Jew, Buddhist, convert away FROM Islam, ferocious critic of Islam, professing atheist, open homosexual, secularist or just plain humanist or, worse of all, a woman disdaining islamic sharia; in which country would you want to live: Saudi Arabia or USA, Turkey or Germany? If you were a Christian in Syria which force is safer, i.e., threatens less persecutrion, Assad or a Sunni-led Brotherhood opposition? Do you recognized Jews as a nation? Do you accept that Israel is the state in which the Jewish nation has a political home? Fianlly, do you renounce the principles of the Muslim Brotherhood, enunciated at the beginning? I await you answers with bated breath.

The issue with Huma Abedin's past and conflict of interest have to do with her being a deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, which allowed Huma to gain access to "for eyes-only" government secrets given to Clinton, and could be passing on some privileged informations to MB-associated persons. Her familial and professional connections to the MB and other Islamist groups, for which they advocate jihad and violence against the West, are nonetheless disturbing enough to warrant a serious conflict of interest there.
There were Soviet spies working in the US government and military for years (before, during, and after WW2) and they were Americans operating under the wings of powerful American politicians.

No has accused Ms. Abedin (AKA Mrs. Former Congressman Weiner) of being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. A high government position and/or security clearance is a privilege as McCarthy stated, denial of security clearance doesn't mean a person has done wrong.
A security clearance given to the wrong person could put the American people in danger, it could help our enemies harm us.
Senator McCain, you know the guy who ran a terrible campaign and handed the presidency to a Marxist, was quick to attack Michelle Bachman for pointing out the danger of someone close to the Muslim Brotherhood on the staff of the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton should be, and likely is, aware of the danger but kisses up to Islaamic radicals.
As Mark Levin points out, McCain not only crosses the aisle, but puts on the other team's uniform…

A close friend of mine does background security investigations for the federal government and has done so for many years. I asked him how someone with Abedin's background could have gotten a federal security clearance for such a high position in the state dept. He replied that no one with her background could possibly pass a security check, but that it was not unusual for high ranking politicians to step in and over-ride the process. He went on to say that it was done routinely during the Clinton administration and has been done even more frequently by the criminals (my word, not his) currently occupying our government.

Prior to O's election in 2008, I correctly predicted about 95% of his behavior as president. If anyone had seriously taken a look at the parts of his history that were available, they would have come to the same conclusions.
While one of the predictions I made was that he would cause harm to Israel and find ways to support Islamists, I never would have believed he would have gone as far as he has, because I believed he simply wouldn't have been able to get away with it — for his first term, at least.
Well, I was wrong. Our political establishment is deeply rotten. As a young serviceman, McCain withstood torture for his country; but now, in his dotage, is willing to sell his country out for some kind of what he believes is political prestige.
Some have been looking at the Aurora mass murderer, and asking what is wrong with "us" that we produce his likes. I think that it's wrong to place guilt on a whole nation for the crimes of some.
But I do have to ask "what is wrong with us?" that we have elected so many fools and scoundrels to Congress.

Don't call 'em fools, Aqua Man. They're doing quite well at their mission. What makes it hard to keep things straight is the mission itself. Let us not forget that Prez Barack appointed a self-acknowledged Communist to a position in the White House as Green Jobs Czar in Van Jones. Now dig this: the Constitution does not authorize jobs creation, so it's illegal. The green part is based on a scientific scam, never having offered a shred of scientific proof. Worse, Czars in the her and now are no more vetted by the population than Russian Czars of yore. Anyway, the green jobs went to China, at taxpayer expense, and the green "enterprises" are failing. And the green money given the green startups was openly traded for political favors. I could go on.
My point: what's a few Moslems with direct access to national security secrets? Hell, the Infidel Idiots (most from the Ivy League) would divulge them to the Mo-Bro-Hood anyway. And without risk. Bill Keller's treason on divulging the rendition sites at the New York Times raised nary a peep. True, Prez Barack Hussein's revealing members of Seal Team 6 has raised a peep, but a cowardly peep that reduces "conservative" news entertainers asking whether the Prez authorized the revelations, with the nerve to ask this brave question with a straight face.
The good news is that Barack & Michelle might make some money on giving over hundreds of pages to the movie makers for the forthcoming action movie set in Pakistan.

You know, the problem here is that, even despite the 9-11 mass murders, too many lemmings believe the leftist lie that America deserved what it got! As if, for example, a home-owner must be supremely virtuous in order to defend his household. NO. No one, no country is supremely virtuous. Nevertheless, we — and the world's nations — have a right to protect ourselves (and themselves) from lunatics, inspired by Satanic rage, whose reason for being is our annihilation.
And we will . . . protect ourselves, even if it means erring on the side of caution to limit possible, shall we say, "conflicts of interest," in our own upper-echelon cabinet offices — and officers.
Too bloody bad that we come off as discriminatory, Islamophobic, or whatever other calumny the pathetic politically correct Greek Chorus throw at us. Tough. And too bad.
Too bad that when a neighborhood is presented with clear evidence that roving bands of thieves prowl the streets that decent and law-abiding citizens band together to thwart murder and mayhem. Too bad. Too bad for the bad guys.

When Dictator/War Criminal Obama first got elected, he bowed to the Saudi king, courted the Saudi/Qatar-sponsored Muslim Brotherhood (MB) Nazi JIHADIST ((the Muslim Brotherhood 's founder, Hasan al-banna was Hitler's main collaborator/adviser alongside the Palestinian Mufti of Jerusalem and the Turkish Ottomans) in his first foreign speech – in Cairo, and soon removed the great Churchill's statue from the White House (I suspect due to Churchill's love for the Jews, hatred for the Nazis and his recognition of Islam's evilness). Thus, we can guess how this daughter of the main leaders of the Muslim Sisterhood, the female JIHADIST branch of the MB, got her job, and as top aide to Hillary, of all people! Thus, is it any wonder also that Obama's REGIME is arming (including through selling 60billions of weapons to the Saudis just before all these wars) these MB jihadists (that include al-Qaeda, Talebans, Salafists, Boko Haram, al-Shabaab etc) to Arabicize absolutely including by sexually enslaving all Muslim women/girls, especially greatly diverse non-Arabs, in those monstrous Saudi-Arabic veil since the 1980s according to the MB manifesto, and rob the OIL-RICH non-Arabic Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia, Egypt and in the future, Syria and Lebanon. Unfortunately, in Islam-MB loving Amanpour yesterday on CNN, Romney's top aide support the MB-led rebellion in Syria, that include to arm them – I think Romney is listening too much to the same war-mongering and oil-robbing Saudi/Qatar/MB-loving Republicans (that's why they're on the same side as the Obama's REGIME) like that treacherous McCain there! Thus, Romney will be trapped into making the same War-Crime mistake as Obama!

Anyone who has any marbles left must recognize the fact that Islam's social intifada has been setting up Trojan Horses throughout the non-Muslim world, particularly in various levels of government. Team Obama, either to win Muslim favor or, indeed, to aid Islam has forbidden the utterance of the words Muslim and terrorist in the same sentence. Michelle Bachmann may go down in history for having forced the issue, not through direct accusation of individuals but with a request for investigation. This immediately rattled two factions – the culprits who have much to hide and the useful idiots who seem more ignorant than one can fathom. Hopefully, before November, team Romney will come to their senses and realize that a vast number of Americans by now understand what is going on, and by taking an intelligent stand in this issue, help rid the country of the most dangerous president in America's history.

Is no one on Capitol Hill accountable for their actions any more? And, why are no background investigations done any more? America's deepest secrets are being jeopardized by careless public servants and 'not-me' attitudes.
I'm embarrassed to say that I voted for McCain in the 2008 election.
Not only should Huma Abedin, deputy chief of staff for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-N.Y.) wife, undergo a full background investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), so should every person who intends to run for the House of Representatives, the US Senate, the presidency, and Supreme Court Justice positions. None shall be allowed to run or be appointed for and to US public office until a full background investigation is done.
As a prior military member, I had to undergo a complete FBI background check from my date of birth to the present in order to obtain a Secret security clearance. Why should members of Congress and above be exempt?

Just by looking at the kind of open arms's reception offered by the current Administration to a certain foreign's entities, and the free access they obtained into the most sancta sanctorun securities secrets and operations, it came clearer to us why the EE.UU is rapidly and steadily loosing ground on every conceivable foreign's theater of war and diplomacy.
Unfortunately, at this moment we don't see any light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

After pregnancy, get ready for newborn baby care! Feeding, burping, and diaper duty go on non-stop - and baby bath time seems to be an invitation for your little boy to pee all over you! This video has some newborn care tips to help you make it through!
If you've just welcomed a new arrival, you may feel overwhelmed. Check out this sanity-saving advice.
Teeth are important, but getting them isn't an easy process. It's been held that teething can cause a high fever, but is this really the case?
After your baby reaches about four months of age, you may consider creating a routine to provide more structure to the day. Learn how you can "reprogram" your newborn's internal clock with these infant schedule tips and tricks.
Bathing babies isn't as easy as it seems! When it's bath time, gather your baby shampoo and baby soap, fill the tub with bath water and get ready for your first baby bath!
Every baby has delicate skin, and you may need to utilize sunscreen, baby lotion, skin oil and even baby detergent (like Dreft) to ensure his soft skin stays that way!
The most common reason to pump is to ensure your baby has breastmilk while you're away. Also, you can let your partner feed the baby with a bottle of pumped breastmilk.
Your baby is cranky, fussy, and grumpy. You know a pacifier will soothe her, but worry that giving her a binky is a bad idea. Is it OK to comfort a fussy baby with pacifiers?
All babies need plenty of sleep hours, but how much sleep is enough? What sleep habits should you expect from a newborn, and from an older infant?
Sudden infant death syndrome is the biggest cause of infant death in the U.S. But SIDS statistics aside, why does this condition occur? And how can you prevent sudden infant death?
A baby's head is surprisingly hard, but a bump can still cause a concussion, skull fracture, or other injuries. If your baby hurts their head you should stay calm and carefully assess the wound and their behavior for signs of a serious problem.
Is your baby sick, or are his symptoms perfectly normal? Sometimes, it's hard to know whether your newborn needs help or just needs a clean diaper. Here are some of the most common ailments that may or may not require your baby's doctor.
You may be breastfeeding, or feeding your infant formula, but whatever your child's liquid diet, it's important to know that some babies need vitamin supplements. Here are the A, B, C's of keeping your infant's vitamins and health on track!"
A gassy baby is nothing to be worried about, but knowing how to burp your baby is important to ease discomfort in a newborn. There are a few burping methods that you can try when your child is suffering from gassiness.
Your little one can't talk yet, so he'll communicate with you the only way he can, by crying! While you won't always know what's wrong, as you start to discern hunger cries from calls for attention, you'll be better able to soothe your baby.
Babies can be quite a handful when their first teeth start sprouting out. Learn about baby teething and its associated symptoms in this video.
While taking great care of your baby can reduce the likelihood that they get a diaper rash, almost all babies will still get one eventually. Fortunately, treatment is easy, and most babies will get better in a couple of days.
Whether your baby was born with teeth or whether he's been teething for a few months, it's as important to know how to care for his new chompers as it is to be able to provide pain and fever relief.

New flights to Japan kick off
HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaiian Airlines is launching its new service to Sapporo, Japan.
Hawaiian's inaugural flight to the city on the island of Hokkaido left Honolulu Tuesday morning. The airline plans to fly to Sapporo's New Chitose Airport three times a week.
Sapporo is Hawaiian's fourth destination in Japan. It's also the fourth-largest city in Japan, with a population of nearly 2 million.
Passengers on the inaugural flight received flower lei and were treated to a ceremony featuring Hawaiian music and hula, a Japanese cultural performance and a traditional Hawaiian blessing. Hawaii Tourism Authority CEO Mike McCartney estimates the flight will generate more than $60 million in visitor spending.
Visitor arrivals continue rising
HONOLULU (AP) — The Hawaii Tourism Authority says 6 percent more people traveled to Hawaii in September compared to the same month last year. Visitors to the islands spent almost 16 percent more while they were here compared to last year.
HTA President Mike McCartney says the agency is pleased the rate of spending growth hasn't weakened even though the number of travelers increased more slowly. More than 595,000 visitors came to Hawaii in September and spent $1.1 billion.
Soldier allegedly made threats
HONOLULU (AP) — A former Schofield Barracks soldier accused of terrorizing four people as well as making a threatening telephone call to the Army base is scheduled to appear in court.
Obrien McChriston, 24, is headed to court today for a preliminary hearing. He is charged with kidnapping and terroristic threatening.
Police say McChriston got into an argument on Sept. 16 at a home in Kalaeloa. He is accused of threatening a man with a knife and not allowing three women to leave the home. He also remains under investigation for allegedly calling the Army base last week and threatening to come onto the base and kill soldiers.
His bail has been set at $50,000.
Superstorm leaves some Hawaii travelers stranded
HONOLULU (AP) — Superstorm Sandy may be far away, but it is still having an impact on Hawaii.
Hawaii News Now (http://is.gd/47nxfD) reports that more than 1,300 travelers bound for the East Coast remain stranded in Hawaii. The island's two largest airlines have canceled three direct flights to Washington, D.C. and the New York area since Sunday.
The East Coast is a growing but lucrative market for Hawaii and local tourism officials and airlines are working quickly to accommodate stranded visitors. Tourism officials say late October is typically a slow season for hotel bookings, so stranded travels should have little problem finding a place to stay.
Local hotels are offering discounted rates for travelers whose flights have been canceled. Airlines are also waiving fees to rebook their reservations.
Hawaiian kicks off flights to fourth Japanese city
HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaiian Airlines is launching its new service to Sapporo, Japan.
Hawaiian's inaugural flight to the city on the northern island of Hokkaido will leave Honolulu on Tuesday. The airline plans to fly to Sapporo's New Chitose Airport three times a week.
Sapporo is Hawaiian's fourth destination in Japan.
Hawaiian entered the Japanese market with a flight to Tokyo in November 2010. It later started flights to Osaka and Fukuoka.
Passengers on the inaugural flight will get to see a pre-flight ceremony featuring Hawaiian music and hula, a Japanese cultural performance and a traditional Hawaiian blessing. They'll also receive fresh flower lei.
Oahu construction worker dies after wall collapse
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii (AP) — Military officials are investigating the collapse of a cinder block wall that killed a construction worker at a Schofield Barracks construction site.
U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii said in a news release emergency officials responded to a 911 call after 1:30 p.m. Monday. The construction worker was taken to Wahiawa General Hospital where he passed away after 2 p.m.
The incident occurred where Army contractor Nan Inc. is renovating Quad D barracks.
The Army says it extends its heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased.

Movie review: Undead in East End in 'Cockneys vs. Zombies'
Story | Jul 31, 2013 | 5:29 PMYou don't call a movie "Cockneys vs. Zombies" because you yearn for cinematic subtlety. Matthias Hoene's feature film debut is the umpteenth infection in the undead epidemic rampaging through pop culture. And it's all that the title implies: brash East Enders gone Mum and Dad over a right goppin' bunch of flesh-eatin' nutters, whose Khybers need kickin', mind you!

Plugged Up with No Place To Go?
On January 14, 2010 @ 5:11 pm In All Articles,Blogs
[1]The flu is decidedly not the only terrible bug going around this season. Call it the crud if you will, but whatever this unnamed thing is – it's terrible. Many of us who haven't so much as wheezed or sneezed in ages are now coughing and hacking or giving breathing treatments to our children.
Babies have the hardest time because their cough muscles aren't as effective at clearing mucus from the airways. Try using this time-honored percussion therapy technique to help dislodge mucus plugs. Position your baby on your lap or shoulder as you would if you were going to burp the baby. Instead of using a flat hand to burp the baby, form a shallow cup with your hand and pat the baby's back a little harder than you would to bring up a bubble.
You'll hear a difference in the sound between a flat and a cupped hand when patting the baby's back. Try practicing on your thigh. It should sound a little more hollow as opposed to the thud of a flat hand. Use enough force to help knock mucus plugs out but not hard enough to hurt the baby. Done correctly, the baby will not resist this therapy.
But be ready! When the mucus plug does come up, it's not pretty. Might want to place a towel on the floor…
While I've got you, have you taken the Allergy & Asthma Today Reader Survey [2]? If not, and you read AAT on a quarterly basis, would you please take a moment to do so right now? If you don't already receive AAT magazine but would like to, just click here and complete the ordering form [3].

You can visit the wharf each morning to buy your whole Maine lobsters, or you can order them from your office, anytime. And while you're at it, you'll be supporting Your Chef and Child Foundation.
Now, all members of the American Culinary Federation can purchase whole Maine live lobsters so fresh and sweet they had to have been in the pure, temperate waters from the northern most part of the Gulf of Maine the day before.
(If Fed-Ex offers next day delivery to your area, they were – in our all natural remote Beal's Island lobster pound!) and when members of the ACF order our delicious lobsters, they are supporting their own Chef and Child Foundation in its campaign against childhood hunger, malnutrition, and obesity.
Making wholesale, market price purchases couldn't be easier at http://ccf.lobsterselect.com.
How the LobsterSelect-Chef and Child Foundation program works.
LobsterSelect will donate to the Chef and Child Foundation a percentage of its sales on all lobsters purchased by ACF members at http://ccf.lobsterselect.com, as follows:
Once $500,000 in sales is reached, lobsterselect will donate 5% to the Foundation on any lobster order (regardless of dollar amount) … forever … so long as the order is placed at the special http://ccf.lobsterselect.com site.
(Orders placed at www.lobsterselect.com will result in the same delicious Maine lobsters, but not the donation.)

Team FBUK announce additional sponsor BottleSport join forces Thousands of bottles used per year! Team FBUK media release For Team FBUK, 2006 has been a huge year. The transition from UK club team to the top level of professional cycle sport has not been easy, but with a lot of hard work, it has been a very successful one. In order to make 2007, Team FBUK have set about the task of finding not only a new title sponsor for 2007, but also to develop its sponsorship base throughout Europe to help support its truly global team for next season. Throughout a season of professional racing, teams use several thousand bottles and this can put a huge drain on team resources. So with the generous support of Andrew Holyoake of BottleSport Team FBUK no longer have to worry about this area for 2006 and 2007 and can concentrate on other areas. Team FBUK very aware of the need to drink the right amount during races and training following their recent links with the Salt Manufacturers' Association, so this area of sponsorship is very important to the team. Team Manager Stefan Wyman said, 'This sponsorship is the first of many new sponsors for Team FBUK. The hard work of 2006 looks to have been very worth while and with a new team look and team name for 2007, the team should be able to take another huge step forward. The sponsorship from BottleSport is very generous and I hope the team can repay their faith in us with some good results through the winter in cyclo-cross and on the road next year'.
