Bill O'Reilly Talking Points Blasts Barack Obama, Pelosi and Reid For Their Failure in War on Terror
Bill O'Reilly blasted President Barack Obama for his weak foreign policy and the dire consequences it has created in the Middle East, Europe the Far East and across the world. O'Reilly called it a perfect storm of weakness. What happened to Obama's promise to downgrade terrorism as he seems to make climate change a more important topic than terrorism? Obama's lack of leadership, the most reluctant leader this country has ever seen, has been the focal point of why evil has been on the rise. Bill O'Reilly stated, "by withholding American power abroad, the president is plunging the world into a very dark place. When order collapses, so does civilized society."
Bill O'Reilly ended his rant by saying, "God help the next president of the United States." I would go one further and say, God help the citizens of the United States.

He ripped Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi for "saying various thing that make absolutely no sense at all" while ISIS is growing in power in the Middle East.
O'Reilly went through all the unintended consequences of Obama's weak foreign policy, which includes China's expansion and Vladimir Putin feeling he can just walk all over the United States. O'Reilly said he's "simply aghast that American foreign policy is so bad."
"By withholding American power abroad," he concluded, "the president is plunging the world into a very dark place. When order collapses, so does civilized society, and we are seeing that all over this planet."

ISIS Takes Credit for Suicide Bombing That Killed at Least 33 People in Afghanistan
Barack Obama's JV terrorist killers take credit for slaughter of 33 people in Afghanistan …
Hours after the suicide bombing attack Jalalabad, Afghanistan that saw 33 people killed and more than 100 injured, ISIS took credit for the slaughter. The attack in Jalalabad, the capital of eastern Nagarhar province, targeted a crowd of soldiers and civilians gathered outside the bank to receive their monthly salaries. Even the Taliban condemned the attack and killing of innocents who were just simply waiting in line outside a bank. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid stated,"It was an evil act. We strongly condemn it." You know you are a bunch of savage murdering animals when other terrorist groups condemn your killing. But of course, this is the same radical Islamist terrorists that Barack Obama called the JV and says are not Islamic.
A motorcycle-riding suicide bomber attacked a bank branch Saturday in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 33 people in a deadly attack the country's president said was claimed by the Islamic State group.
The attack marks a major escalation in the country's fight against an affiliate of the extremist group that now holds a third of Iraq and Syria in its self-declared caliphate.
It also comes as Afghan security forces fight against the Taliban after U.S. and NATO forces ended their combat mission in the country at the start of the year, yet another challenge for the war-ravaged nation.
The attack in Jalalabad, capital of eastern Nagarhar province, targeted a crowd of soldiers and civilians gathered outside the bank to receive their monthly salaries. The blast killed at least 33 people and wounded more than 100, said Dr. Hamayon Zaheer, the head of Jalalabad's hospital.
Hours after the attack, President Ashraf Ghani blamed the Islamic State group for the attack.
"In the horrific incident in Nangarhar, who took responsibility? The Taliban didn't claim responsibility. Daesh claimed responsibility for it," Ghani said, using an Arabic acronym for the group.
Ghani warned before that the Islamic State group was starting to establish a presence in Afghanistan. He used his visit to the United States last month to reiterate his concerns that the extremist group was making inroads into Afghanistan.

35th Anniversary of Greatest Sporting Moment in United States History … MIRACLE ON ICE
35 years ago today, February 22, 1980 … DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES … YES!!!
It is hard to believe that it has been 35 years since "Miracle on Ice," it seems like just yesterday in some respects and in others it seems so long ago. In a time that many today under the age of 45 could never comprehend. There was no social media, no Twitter, no Facebook and no Internet to follow the game live. To show just how far back we reminisce, ESPN had just started operations in September 1979. As a matter of fact, that was probably a good thing as they game was scheduled to be played in the afternoon, but not to be shown on TV until later that night in prime time. As it turned out, the Russians refused to change the time of the game so it could be televised in America live. Imagine that from the USSR. Do you remember where you were, when you watched the one any only DREAM TEAM? Watching highlights of this game always puts a smile on my face and a tear to my eye.
Remember back to 1980, the game was more than just a hockey game, it was us against them, it was freedom vs. communism. It was a piece of the Cold War played out in an arena, of a sheet of ice in Lake Placid, NY during the 1980 Winter Olympics. It was the fresh faced college kids from America taking on the the paid athletes of so-called amateurs of the big bad Soviet bear. As Al Michaels would later say, the confluence of events was so extraordinary, it could never happen again. Who knew that a bunch of college kids over a two week period would become the essence and the vehicle to make Americans proud again? That is exactly what 'Miracle on Ice' was and did and the game will forever be remembered as the greatest sports moment in US history, EVER!
Final minutes of Miracle on Ice: Do you believe in Miracles … YES!!!
For events that take place, we sadly remember where we were when terrible ones occur. Everyone remembers where they were when JFK was assassinated, when the Challenger Space shuttle blew up in 1986 (VIDEO) and when on 9-11 terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, PA. However, for those that were alive and were old enough to watch the medal round game between the USA and USSR, you remember like it was yesterday where you were and the feeling of incredible patriotism and pride that you had as a bunch of college kids coached by the dearly departed Herb Brooks pulled off the greatest upset in sports history.
Over the weekend, all of the living members of the 1980 US Hockey team came together in Lake Placid, NY to reunite and fondly remember that heroic day and the weekend that the Americans brought home the gold medal, first defeating the Russians 4-3 and then beat Finland 4-2.
The ovation wasn't quite as deafening as it was 35 years ago. It was riveting, nonetheless, for Dave Christian and his old Olympic buddies, together again to celebrate their Miracle on Ice.
"It feels exactly the same," Christian said Saturday night as the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team returned to the rink they made famous with their triumph over the Soviet Union. "You could feel the electricity in the (locker) room. It's still there."
The "Relive the Miracle" reunion at Herb Brooks Arena attracted more than 5,000 fans for a two-hour celebration of one of the most memorable upsets in sports history. Every surviving player from the team made the trip, including Mark Pavelich, who drove from his Oregon home with two dogs. It was the first time the team had all been together since that memorable night.
However, let's go back and fondly remember the greatest sporting event in American history and the greatest upset victory ever. It was Friday, February 22, 1980 and the United States hockey team was slated to play the invincible, mighty Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The Soviet Union hockey team was a machine, who had not lost the Olympic gold medal since the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympic Games. The Soviet team was basically a professional hockey team, playing the United States, made up of a collection of armature college hockey players. Many of those kids would go onto to greatness in the NHL, but that was down the road.
On a personal level, I can remember like it was yesterday. I had been discharged from the hospital earlier in the day after spending almost all of the Olympics in the hospital after suffering from an acute appendicitis, emergency surgery and complications following the surgery. I finally made it home around 5 pm to prepare and watch the game later that night. The irony being that the hockey game actually began live at that time, America on the East coast would not see the tape delay of the game until 8 PM. I can remember waiting in my bedroom in anticipation, trying to get caught up on school work as I had missed two weeks of school having been in the hospital. My father came up to my room and asked my if I wanted to know the score, he had heard it on the news, I said … NOOOOO!!! I had watched all of the games that were televised from my hospital room and there was no way I wanted to know the outcome in advance after all this.
The 1980′s were a different time, the Soviet Union had invaded Afghanistan, US hostages were being held in Iran, the United States was in the midst of a terrible recession, marked by what many remember as the misery index (double digit inflation, unemployment and inflation rate), high gas prices and a disastrous Jimmy Carter presidency. The mood in America was grim, patriotism was down and nothing seemed to be going good. Wait a minute, did I just describe the Barack Obama presidency? But I digress, back to the story at hand. As previously stated, the 80′s were a different time, from my home TV in New England we got 3 channels, ABC, CBS and NBC. Well actually 5 if you consider those 2 UHF channels that you had to maneuver that pesky antenna to have them viable. Oh yes, and then there were the rabbit ear antenna on the TV that had to be at just such in order to view anything. What, you don't remember rabbit ears? It is kind of comical when one tries to describe this stuff to a 20-30 year old, what you mean there was no digital TV, no HD TV, no cable … 3 channels, are you kidding!!!
Prior to the game between the USA and USSR, United States head coach Herb Brooks gave Team USA one of the greatest motivational speeches in sports history. The speech was made famous by the 2004 movie 'Miracle', however, word for word, Brooks gave the speech to the wide eyed college kids. A plaque exists today in Lake Placid at the aptly named the 1980 Rink -Herb Brooks Arena.
Herb Brooks Miracle Speech from the move 'Miracle' – "Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you."
"Great moments … are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys.
That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine.
But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can!
Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you.
And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time.
Now go out there and take it!" (Herb Brooks)
20 Things You Might Not Know About the "Miracle on Ice". I think the only one I was not aware of what the Jammie Farr, who played Klinger on M*A*S*H, was the only celebrity in attendance. Hmm, can we really refer to Jammie Farr as a celebrity?
For your viewing pleasure, below is the full VIDEO version of the 1980 Olympic medal round game between the United States hockey team vs. the original evil empire, the Soviet Unions, the USSR. Every February 22 I make sure that I find time during the day to watch the full game and remember back in time those incredible moments of the feeling of pride and admiration of that game. As we now know and knew at the time, it was more than just a hockey game. It was a proxy war fought on a sheet of ice where the United States of America defeated the invincible Soviet Union and gave a county a rallying point that thrust us into the 1980′s, Ronald Regan and the fall of the Soviet Union.
Full game via ESPN Classic, and it was the classic of all-time
TEAM USA – 1980 Olympic Hockey Team Roster
When the USA fell behind early in the game 1-0, I remember going, "rut-oh" please do not tell me we are about to get steam-rolled by the Soviets. After all this, after all the USA hockey team had accomplished, they did not deserve to get embarrassed. The Soviets Union had stormed through their opposition during group play by destroying the opposition as they defeated Japan 16–0, the Netherlands 17–4, Poland 8–1, Finland 4–2, and Canada 6–4 and advanced to the medal round. Would the USA be next? However, after giving up the early goal the USA seemed to settle down a bit, although you could tell they were tight, the crowd was tight, something good had to happen to releave the nerves. Then at the 14:03 Buzz Schneider scored, with an assist from Mark Pavelich, coming down the left wing at quite an angle, putting one past goalie Vladislav Tretiak, tying the score at 1-1.
20:00 minute mark of the VIDEO above, Buzz Schneider ties the game 1-1
The goal was huge. Why, because it was the first one, it tied the score and it was a precursor of things to come as it was an unusual goal to the best goal tender in the world to give up. Not going down by multiple goals was a big motivational advantage for the USA as it played into Brooks' speech … "Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can!" However, the USSR scored again with 2:20 remaining in period #1 as they skated in so easily thru the USA defense and one of the Russian "ov's" scored. I can remember thinking, "eesh, that was way to easy". The CCCP was ahead 2-1. The Soviet's kept putting so much pressure on in the USA end as goalie Jim Craig had to make amazing save after amazing save. I thought to myself, "Craig was playing the game of his life, could this kid keep it up." Ha, I call him a kid now, I was younger than all of those playing for USA at the time.
At the 30:40 minute mark of the video above, Johnson scores past Tretiak with 1 second left.
Then it happened, out of no where. With 5 seconds left in the period, Dave Christian fired a slap shot from 100 feet away from beyond the center line on goal, Tretiak made the save but misplayed the rebound, and Mark Johnson split the defense got the rebound and scored with 1 second on the clock to tie the game at 2-2. The crowd erupted at the arena and I can remember jumping off my bed in excitement and damn near pulling my stitches. For one brief moment, the Soviet hockey machine let their guard down thinking the period was all but over and it cost them dearly.
What was interesting in retrospect as I never remembered it at the time was that because there was 1 second left in the period, the referee needed by rule to drop the puck at center ice. It was goalie Vladimir Myshkin that came back from the dressing room to be in goal, not Tretiak, as following the American goal the entire Soviet team had left the ice and went to the locker room. This would be an interesting omen. Interesting indeed.
The start of the second period began with the unthinkable, the USSR National team coach, Viktor Tikhonov, pulled the best goalie in the world, Vladislav Tretiak, and replaced him with Vladimir Myshkin. What? I remember thinking back at the time, wow, they pulled their best goalie because of one shaky period, unreal. Even in the eyes of a 14 year old who had played team sports his entire life, knew this was big and a knee-jerk, emotional reaction. Russians acting emotionally? That was akin to Mr. Spock from 'Star Trek' fame acting like a human. Russian coach Tikhonov would later say that this move was the "turning point of the game" and called it "the biggest mistake of his career".
48:17 minute mark of above video
That being said, the second period was tough to watch as the USA was dominated by the Soviet Union being out shot 12-2. In the process the Russians scored another goal in the onslaught of Jim Craig as the USSR went ahead 3-2. Thanks to Craig, the Russians only scored 1 goal, which turned out to be huge. It looked bleak for the Americans as the Russians crashed into goalie Jim Craig and appeared to have knocked him out as he lay horizontal on the ice. The period ended with the Soviet Union leading the USA 3-2.
1:01:24 minute mark in above video Johnson scores and it was all tied up 3-3
After being outplayed most of the beginning of the third period and able to muster very little offense, USA got a power play. I thought to myself, finally, a chance to maybe go on offense. As the power play was running out and the Americans had done little to nothing in taking advantage of the man advantage … it happened. In the final rush of the power play opportunity with 13 seconds left in the penalty, Mark Johnson fired off a shot that went under Myshkin into the net at 8:39, tying the game at 3-3. The crowd went crazy. I remember again jumping out of my chair, popcorn flying everywhere, and when going OMG, did I just pull my stitches again. I did not care. The goal came out of no where and energized the American crowd.
This was exactly what coach Herb Brooks had wanted, the Americans had a chance to win in the third period. The building was alive. Brooks pre-game words were coming to fruition, "And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over … Now go out there and take it!""
THEN IT HAPPENED … THE SECOND SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD. Almost like it was scripted out of a Hollywood movie, Ken Dryden, one of the announcers and former Montreal Canadian goaltender said,"the US team is depending just a little too much now on Jim Craig" and then it happened, oh boy it happened. USA captain Mike Eruzione, who had just come onto the ice, fired a shot past Myshkin, and Team USA had the lead on the Soviet Union for the first of the game, 4-3. ALL PANDEMONIUM BROKE OUT!!!
At that moment 35 years ago I can remember thinking to myself, Oh my God they are going to do it. We are going to beat the Soviet Union, those bastards! Why would ABC sports being showing this game in tape delay if the USA was not going to pull this off? You see folks, back then the MSM actually showed some sort of patriotism for a beleaguered country. They were not a bunch of socialists like today that seem to revel in bad things, all the time. The crowd went mental, USA teammates mauled each other on the boards after the goal and the Soviets were in disbelief. I can remember the look on coach Herb Brooks face, the smile, the look of … my boys are going to do this, this truly is "your time" and they did "go out there and take it!" Brooks reactive was priceless, a smile. A smile? Brooks never smiles! As Al Michaels' said, "now we have bedlam".
The score was USA 4 – USSR 3, but there were were exactly 10:00 minutes to go, half a period.
Then came the next 10 minutes that seemed like 30. The clock could not countdown fast enough as the Soviet hockey team made offensive rush after offensive rush. I remember Herb Brooks telling Team USA, "play your game boys, play your game." Then there was 5 minutes left. Then there was 3 minutes left and no one was breathing.
I can remember thinking with about 1:20 minutes left in the game, I think we have this. Because the Soviet Union always blew their opponents out, they had no idea how to play a close game and it was showing. It was hard to believe after having seen the Soviet Red Army team and Wing team defeat NHL teams and NHL All-Star teams, the Soviets were in disarray and panicking. I thought to myself as the USSR cleared the puck from their zone, why aren't they pulling their goalie? Why are they not putting another attacker on the ice, it was obvious at this point all the USA was trying to do was clear their defensive zone, not score. But the Soviet coach never pulled the trigger.
And when there was 33 seconds left, I had a smile ear to ear. It was over, the puck was cleared from the USA end and the Soviet Union was in complete and total disarray. They were now playing a game they did not now. The Soviet bear had cracked under the pressure.
Final Minute of the "Miracle on Ice"
Then those words from Al Michaels that still bring a chill down my spine, a smile to my face and overwhelm me with pride … "You have 11 seconds, you've got 10 seconds, the countdown is going on right now. Morrow up to Silk. 5 seconds left in the game, DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES … YES!!!"
I can remember just welling up with emotion and crying with pure joy. The chants of USA, USA, USA rang out throughout the arena and across the United States.
The United States Hockey team had shocked the Soviet Union and the world. The invincible commies had been taken down by America's youth. The pure emotion of the USA college kids was priceless and so pure and honest. This is what winning the gold medal looked like when no one gave them a chance. The average age of the USA hockey team was 22. They had done the unthinkable and much, much more. They had beaten the Russians. But what these kids really did not realize, is that they energized a nation.
The USA had not won the gold medal, at least not yet. However, they had done something that no one had even dreamed of, they beat the Soviet Union 4-3 and went down not only in sports history, but in the annuls of American history as the symbol of hope, dreams and all things are possible.

Barack Obama Lets Four More Gitmo Detainees Go … This Time Sends 4 Back to Afghanistan
One way or another, whether it is in the best interest of United States security or not, Barack Obama will let all the detainees out of GITMO before he leaves the White House. Obama's latest efforts just released 4 detainees back to Afghanistan. Don't worry though, it is not like 168 of the GITMO detainees released return to terrorist. Oh wait, they do. But what does Obama care. He is going to do anything he damn well pleases in his final years as president because we have gutless Republican leadership who stand for nothing and have the spine of a jellyfish.
The Pentagon on Saturday announced that it had transferred four detainees from the Guantanamo Bay prison facility back to their home country of Afghanistan.
The Defense Department said all four men had been "unanimously approved for transfer" by the president's interagency Guantanamo Review Task Force, which examines the possible security ramifications of releasing prisoners from the facility.
The transfers will bring the prison's population down to 131, with 63 of the remaining detainees already cleared for removal.
The president has made closing the controversial facility a top priority in the final years of his presidency, and summoned senior administration officials to the White House last month to complain about the pace of efforts to close the detention center.
The meeting was seen largely as a message to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who the White House believed was dragging his feet in signing off on guarantees that the five upcoming transferees did not pose a security threat, according to the wire service.. There's speculation that Hagel's resistance played a role in the president's decision to remove the Pentagon chief, who announced his intention to resign last month.
Obama stressed to the officials that he wanted action on efforts to shutter the controversial facility. The president pledged in his 2008 campaign that he would close the prison, and has come under fire from critics on the left for failing to achieve that goal.

Three Afghan National Army Soldiers Missing From Cape Cod Base … Last Seen at the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis, MA (Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Cpt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada & Cpt. Noorullah Aminyar) (Update: Detained at US-Canada Border)
ABC News is reporting that 3 Afghanistan National Army soldiers are missing from their Cape Cod base in Massachusetts. The three soldiers arrived in the United States on September 11 for a training mission, Exercise Regional Cooperation. According to reports, they have gone missing after a trip to a shopping mall in Hyannis, MA. This is the second time in a week that Afghan security trainees in the United States have disappeared. The three men currently missing in Massachusetts are Afghanistan National Army Soldiers Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Cpt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada, and Cpt. Noorullah Aminyar.
Police and military officials were searching Sunday for three soldiers from the Afghanistan National Army who went missing during a training exercise at a Cape Cod military base.
The Afghan soldiers had been participating in a U.S. Central Command Regional Cooperation training exercise at Joint Base Cape Cod, U.S. military officials said. They arrived at Camp Edwards on Sept. 11 and were last seen at the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis.
The soldiers were reporting missing by base security personnel on Saturday night. They were identified as Major Jan Mohammad Arash, Captain Mohammad Nasir Askarzada and Captain Noorullah Aminyar.
Base and exercise officials were working with local and state authorities to locate them. There is no indication the soldiers pose any threat to the public, military officials said.
The Massachusetts National Guard said that the three soldiers do not appear to pose any threat to the public. Really? What are they going to say? We have let three Afghan high ranking soldiers out of our sight and are wondering around America? The three men were senior military officers from Afghanistan and were cleared by the US State Department to participate in the exercise. Oh that just makes me oh so confident. How is it that we cannot keep tabs on anyone who comes to this country? Do you know how far it is from Quantico, VA to Buffalo, NY?
This is not the first reported case of Afghan nationals who have gone missing while undergoing a training program in the US. Two Afghan policemen who were in taking part in an intensive DEA training program in Quantico, Va., went missing while on a sightseeing trip last Thursday. They were found in Buffalo, NY, on Friday.
UPDATE I: Missing Afghan soldiers detained at Canada-U.S. border.
Three Afghan National Army officers who went missing during a training exercise at a Cape Cod military base were detained Monday at the U.S.-Canadian border, Massachusetts law enforcement officials said.
Massachusetts state police were notified that the three were being questioned by federal authorities at Rainbow Bridge, which connects Niagara Falls, N.Y. and Niagara Falls, Ont., said spokesman David Procopio, who did not have further details.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Niagara Falls said they didn't have the men in custody. Messages left for Canada Border Services Agency weren't immediately returned.

Gallup Poll: Barack Obama Ties All-Time Low Job Approval at 38% … 54% Disapprove
According to the most recent Gallup poll, three day rolling average, Barack Obama has tied his all-time low for job approval at 38%. At some point though, Obama's job approval numbers have to sink even lower as we look around and nothing, I mean nothing is positive for the United states or Americans, both in domestic and foreign policy, in the disastrous Obama presidency. As Obama's poll numbers continue to shrink, the MSM-Democrat state run media complex refuses to report the news.
- U.S. Economy added a pathetic 142,000 jobs in August, 2014
- The July payroll number was revised up from plus 209,000 jobs to plus 212,000 but June's count was revised down from 298,000 jobs added to 267,000. Total employment gains those months were therefore 28,000 lower than what BLS originally reported.
- Black unemployment at 11.4%
- Labor Force; Participation Rate Matches 36-Year Low, 92,269,000 not in work force.
- IRS Scandal Continues … Benghazi-gate scandal continues.
- ISIS on the move creating a caliphate, murdering innocents and beheading two Americans with a muddled, dithering and weak response from Obama.
- Obama, a disastrous conclusion that ISIS was the Jayvee, turns out it was Obama who is the rank amateur.
- Putin on the move … China on the move … ISIS on the move … Iran's nuclear capability on the move Thanks to a weak Ditherer in Chief and the world no longer fears the US because of Obama.
- Obamacare is to a costly joke.
- Afghanistan and Iraq all but lost after the loss of so many brave American military souls.
- Amnesty for illegals.
The below average polling for Obama's job approval is at 40.25% Approve and 54.25% Disapprove.
Reuters/Ipsos – 8/30 – 9/3: 38% Approve – 56% Disapprove (-18)
Gallup – 9/2 – 9/5 : 38% Approve – 54% Disapprove (-16)
The Economist/YouGov – 8/30 – 9/1: 41% Approve - 56% Disapprove (-15)
GWU/Battleground – 8/23 – 8/28: 44% Approve - 51 Disapprove (-7)
USA Today/Pew Research – 8/20 – 8/24: 42% Approve - 50% Disapprove (-8)

Sean Hannity Blasts President Barack Obama in Blistering Monologue … 'It's Time for a Wake-Up Call' … "It Is Time for You to Get Engaged."
Last night Sean Hannity blasted Barack Obama in a blistering monologue begging, asking and demanding that this president 'WAKE UP" and get engaged in the turmoil in both domestic and foreign policy. Much of which Obama has no one to blame but himself. Although he will try and pass the buck. It is becoming evident that Obama is the "Bystander" in Chief and refuses to step up to the plate and lead. But instead Obama attends fundraisers, plays golf and goes on vacation to Martha's Vineyard.
Hannity stated that our world is in an alarming state of emergency, between Israel's ground war into Gaza to protect itself from Hamas, Malaysia flight ML17 blown out of the sky in an unspeakable act killing innocent men, women and children, ISIS on the rise, Al-Qaeda on the move, the Middle East on fire, Russia and Putin flexing its muscles, Obama administration scandals like IRS-gate and Benghazi-gate, and a US domestic policy of out of control national debt and a discouraged work force. Let us not forget the crisis we have on our Southern border caused by Obama's lack of protecting or borders. Then there is that Obamacare thing.
Hannity said, "It is shocking to see a president of the United States, the free world, with such a lack of urgency and priorities. So I say to the president tonight: It is time for action, it's time for urgency. It is time for you to get engaged." Hannity went on to say, "Mr. President for you to stand up. It is time for you to lead. It's time to skip for once your lavish million dollar Marha's Vineyard vacation. It's time for you to put down those golf clubs. I thing 180 rounds of gold is quite enough. It is time for you to lead by example. [...] You need to spend more time in The Oval Office. You need to be in the Situation Room. You may be surprised to learn what has actually happened in the six years since you have become the leader of the free world."
"It is shocking to see a president of the United States, the free world, with such a lack of urgency and priorities," Hannity said. "So I say to the president tonight: It is time for action, it's time for urgency. It is time for you to get engaged."
Hannity then skewered the president over his handling of domestic matters.
"Mr. President, why don't you consider the events of these past 24 hours to be a very, very costly and deadly wake up call," Hannity said. "And while all this was happening yesterday, you spent 40 seconds dealing with the killing of nearly 300 innocent people and for your secretary of state to tell Israel to restrain itself again and again. It's time for a wakeup call.

19 year old US Marine Lance Cpl. Brandon Garabrant was killed by a roadside bomb Friday morning in Afghanistan. Just last hear Brandon Garabrant the powers that be at ConVal Regional High School in Peterborough, New Hampshire prevented Garabrant from wearing his Marine uniform at graduation. Garabrant was also a volunteer firefighter in Temple, New Hampshire. Thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice. May you forever Rest in Peace.
Lance Cpl. US Marine Brandon Garabrant…Rest in Peace
A Marine from New Hampshire has been killed in Afghanistan.
Lance Cpl. Brandon Garabrant, 19, was one of three U.S. service members killed by a roadside bomb Friday morning.
"The entire State of New Hampshire is devastated by the tragic loss of Lance Corporal Brandon Garabrant, who was bravely serving his nation in Afghanistan," Governor Maggie Hassan said in a statement. "Our service men and women courageously sacrifice every day to protect their fellow citizens and defend the enduring value of freedom that is our very core, and in doing so, Lance Corporal Garabrant made the ultimate sacrifice."
Garabrant graduated from ConVal Regional High School in Peterborough last year. He had requested to wear his uniform during graduation, but the school did not allow it.
More on the death of Lance Cpl. US Marine Brandon Garabrant who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Before becoming a Marine, Garabrant was a volunteer member of the Temple Fire Department, a police Explorer with the Peterborough Police Department and worked at Touchstone Farm in Temple.
In a statement, Gov. Maggie Hassan said the state was devastated by Garabrant's death.
"As a volunteer firefighter and dedicated Marine, Lance Corporal Garabrant was committed to serving his fellow citizens, and he was tragically taken from us far too soon," she said. "It is our responsibility as Granite Staters and Americans to come together to support his family and his community."
Members of the congressional delegation also said the state would honor Garabrant.
"Our hearts are broken by the loss of Lance Corporal Brandon Garabrant, a true American hero who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country that he loved," Sen. Kelly Ayotte said.
"Lance Corporal Brandon Garabrant was a hero in every sense of the word. He valiantly served our country and epitomized the bravery and sacrifice of every member of our armed forces for which we will be forever grateful," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (CA-D) Disappointed Lawmakers Not Given 30-Day Notice by Law by Obama Administration on Sgt. Bergdahl – Taliban 5 Swap
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (CA-D) said yesterday of the Obama administration that she was "very disappointing that there was not a level of trust sufficient" in failing to notify lawmakers 30 days' notice about a deal to release five Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. She stated that National Deputy Security Adviser Tony Blinken called her Monday night "apologizing" for failing to notify lawmakers sooner. DIFI referred to Blinken's apology as an oversight. HAH! Oversight? How does the Obama administration go from Jay Carney stating explicitly in 2013 that Congress will be told in advance by law to no communication what-so-ever with the ranking Senate chair?
The Democrat Divide
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein took at shot at the Obama administration on Tuesday for failing to give lawmakers 30 days' notice about a deal to release five Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only POW from America's war in Afghanistan.
"It's very disappointing that there was not a level of trust sufficient to justify alerting us," Feinstein told reporters in the Capitol.
A defense bill that President Obama signed into law in December 2013 requires that Congress be notified 30 days ahead of releasing prisoners from Guantanamo Bay.
Feinstein said that National Deputy Security Adviser Tony Blinken called her Monday night "apologizing" for failing to notify lawmakers sooner.
"He apologized for it and said it was an oversight," Feinstein said. When asked whether he used the word "oversight," Feinstein clarified: "In so many words, I can't say. That was my impression."
While the California Democrat says "the president certainly has an executive authority that he can use," she also wants to know whether Bergdahl was a deserter, and she wants to know the terms of the deal with the Qatari government, which has pledged to keep the Taliban prisoners for a year. There will be a briefing Tuesday for Intel Committee members, and a closed Senate Armed Services Committee hearing next Tuesday about the swap.
Although, this is a Democrats reaction of moral and legal outrage toward the Obama administration and their actions … Are Democrats finally figuring out that Obama does not trust them either or care to include them in his imperial government? Hot Air points out that despite the arguments offered by the White House that they needed Bergdahl back no matter how he'd been captured, Feinstein suggested that his status mattered in the equation. The American public reaction to this ill-advised prisoner swap will only serve to cause Democrats to further run away from Obama in the upcoming midterm elections.

Obama State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf Suggests Fellow Soldiers Aren't Reliable Sources on Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
There comes a point and time when enough is enough. That point was just reached with the Obama presidency.Yesterday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf indicated, while answering media questions in the wake of the ill-advised Taliban prison swap for Sgt. Bergdahl, that she did not think that fellow soldiers were not a reliable source on Bergdahl's walking away from his military unit. WHAT!!! Did she just call those soldiers who have spoken out against Bergdahl and called him a deserter, liars? Has the Obama administration no shame?
State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf engaged in a heated exchange Tuesday with a reporter over the circumstances surrounding Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl's capture five years ago, saying she does not think his squad mates have the best idea of what happened when he disappeared.
When Fox News reporter Lucas Tomlinson asked, "Does the State Department consider Sergeant Bergdahl to be a deserter?" Harf replied, "The State Department — no, Lucas. Look, what we've said is we are going to learn the facts about what happened here."
As if the economy and Obama's handling of domestic issues was not bad enough over the past six years that has seen little to no recovery from the recession. Escalating federal debt out of control and a government takeover of the healthcare system that was never intended to provide care, but rather control. A foreign policy that has alienated our allies and emboldened our enemies. Scandals that has seen entities like the IRS purposely and willfully target Conservative organizations. Cover-ups in Benghazi where no one came to the aid of Americans in distress that left four Americans dead, including a US Ambassador. A VA scandal that this administration knew about and ran on in 2008, yet did nothing. Now the Obama administration swaps 5 Taliban GITMO detainees for some one who many believe was a deserter. Now they are calling fellow military soldiers liars. ENOUGH!
Watch the VIDEO below from The Kelly File, of the shameful actions of the State Department spokesperson and Lt. Col. Ralph Peters reaction just lambasting her and the administration.
Transcript from the Gateway Pundit:
FOX News reporter: Does the State Department consider Sgt. Bergdahl to be a deserter?
State Department spokesperson Marie Harf: No, Lucas, what we said is we are going to learn the facts on what happened here.
FOX News: According to those around him, his platoon-mates his squadron-mates said he walked off…
Harf: Lucas, some of them, there are conflicting reports out there about this.
FOX News: The guys on national television last night, his squad-mates, platoon-mates were not correct?
Harf: I'm saying we do not know the fact pattern yet. We don't. Nobody knows exactly what happened that night.
FOX News: Well, I think that his squad-mates would have the best indication…
Harf: I don't think that that's the case.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was heard to be whispering to herself, what difference does it make.

SULLIVANS ISLAND A suit filed against Town Council asks a judge to rule on issues that could affect the size and design of a planned, new elementary school.
The old school has already been demolished and Council has renewed a long-term lease on the location with the Charleston County School District, which has set aside funds for the new school.
The complaint against the town, filed Friday in Charleston County Court of Common Pleas, lists as plaintiffs Martha Smith, Kathleen Post and William Post.
A petition bearing their names and the signatures of at least 15 percent of island registered voters argues that Town Council must adopt an ordinance to reconsider the current plan for the school or hold a referendum on the issue, the suit states.
The suit also argues for town Design Review Board approval of the new school and keeping it the same size as the old one. If neither of those provisions are met, any agreement Council has made with the school district must be revoked, according to the suit.
The new school as proposed is 74,000 square feet, twice the size of the old one.
In response to the suit, the town said in a press release on Monday that the plaintiffs have misconstrued state law regarding the issues raised. The petition process can not be used to require Council to break its new lease with the school board, the town said.
Six of seven Town Council members who support the new, larger school are confident that the law supports their actions and that a ruling will be issued in favor of the town, according to the statement.
Council attempted in February to resolve the matter in court but none of the people behind the petition would agree to represent the group in a way that would allow a suit to proceed, according to the town statement.
State law does not authorize the petition process in the way that some residents have used it in an attempt to dictate zoning and administrative matters or to force a local government to deviate from statewide standards for school facilities. Nor can it be used to insist that the Council breach a valid lease with the school board, the release states.
More than 400 students who attended Sullivans Island Elementary School are now attending the old Mamie Whitesides Elementary School in Mount Pleasant.
Work on the new school does not have to stop while the suit is resolved, officials said.

Jessica Keen
Jessica Lyn Keen (September 24, 1975 – March 17, 1991) was a murder victim killed in Foster Chapel Cemetery in West Jefferson, Ohio. Her case was profiled on the television program Unsolved Mysteries and "On the Case with Paula Zahn."
Before the murder[edit]
Jessica Lyn Keen, a 15-year-old girl from Columbus, Ohio was a model student—an honor student and a cheerleader. However, she quit cheerleading and her grades dropped after meeting Shawn Thompson, an 18-year-old from Central Ohio. Her parents objected to her seeing Thompson but did not know what to do. They placed her in a home for troubled teens on March 4, 1991.
Body discovered[edit]
After being missing for two days, Jessica Keen's body was found at the back of Foster Chapel Cemetery, 20 miles from the teen facility. She had been raped and badly beaten. She was still wearing her ring and watch, but a pendant with the word "taken" was nowhere to be found. Her boyfriend was the prime suspect, but DNA tests proved he was not responsible. Police theorized that she had escaped her abductors and ran to the cemetery. Evidence in the cemetery shows she tried to hide behind grave stones - one of her socks was found, and a knee imprint in the mud behind a grave stone was found with or near the sock. She was killed near a fence in the cemetery, presumably by her abductors, who had followed her.
A cross with her name on it was placed where her body was discovered near the fence in the cemetery.
On April 9, 2008, police in Burlington, North Carolina arrested Marvin Lee Smith, Jr. Smith was charged with unlawful sexual conduct on Keen, a felony. Smith had an extradition hearing set for April 30, 2008, to determine whether he would be turned over to Ohio authorities to face charges.[1] In 2009, Smith admitted to a Madison county courtroom that he had in fact raped and murdered Keen. According to The Columbus Dispatch, who reported the admission February 27, 2009, Smith told the court that Keen had escaped Smith's car and run into Foster Chapel Cemetery, where she collided with a fence post and fell. Smith confessed that he beat Keen to death with a tombstone, then discarded it over the fence nearby. Reports show that police had indeed found bloodied pieces of a tombstone where Smith had indicated. In exchange for Smith's confession, he avoided a death penalty trial that was set for March. Smith pled guilty to one charge of aggravated murder, with specifications of rape and murder, and was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.

Mandrakers 9.1 - there is a solution!!!
Hello everybody!
I have good news, :)
I've already posted my problem where I discovered
incompatibility between new MDK linux kernel
and NVIDIA drivers.
For those who cannot wait:
1) uninstall all nvidia stuff
2) install linux kernel from older distro, MDK 9.0 or MDK 8.2
3) reboot with new linux kernel
4) install nvidia normal way as recomended
5) startx..... :)
Second solution:
1) uninstall all nvidia stuff
2) get latest STABLE LINUX KERNEL
3) compile and install new linux kernel
4) install nvidia in expert mode:
sh NVIDIA-**** --expert
It will ask a lot of questions
Press yes to all paths. Don't allow downloading from internet
anything -> afterwards installer will suggest to compile drivers itself. Do compilation, installation.
5) startx.....
The problem of MDK 9.1:
I could not run my GForce 4 MX on Siemens Scaleo 600
with the new standard MDK 9.1 kernel (2.4.21xxx, pre-patched).
But I installed linux kernel from MDK 8.2 (kernel 2.4.18) -
it worked. Also it workes perfectly with SuSE 8.1 (kernel 2.4.19).
So yesterday I downloaded latest STABLE LINUX KERNEL from www.kernel.org. It was _____2.4.20____________
Conclusion - don't use unstable linux kernel (that of MDK 9.1).
P.S. For curious people - X log file of crashed PC does not
reveal any problem.
Best regards and good luck!
I'd like confirmation of Andy for this one.
Plus I won't change kernel, if indeed this is a problem with it, the driver should change...
BTW: I've tested the last 3 drivers with MDK9.1 as well as MDK 9.0, this doesn't help the KT400 problem.
PS: lots of people can get it to work without this procedure on mdk9.1, so this should be only a last resort, because you probably would still have the same problem, but then again: it might.
well i am going to look into this, once i figure out on how to go about putting an older kernel on ;-)
i presently have 2.4.21-0.13mdk
bah, i tried doing the 2.4.18 and when i did the make bzImage, it crapped out with an error 2, i find this happens alot in mdk9.1 with installing alot of things...
actually come to think of it rh8 uses 2.4.18 and rh9 uses 2.4.20...and i had both distros on my box with the exact same problem i am having with my mdk9.1...so are you saying that problems will be solved using these kernels with just mdk9.1 or just in general, cause if you say just in general i would have to disagree cause of what i just mentioned

text: The economy of Greece has been a basket case, with a national debt that is more than the gross national product, leading to a European Union bailout that has imposed an "austerity" program of slashed government spending, higher taxes, and lower wages. But now the Greeks have voted to end the austerity, going so far as to elect a communist as Prime Minister who is demanding that Germany forgive its debts. [Read more...]

The newest local-area state representative was being sworn in this (TUE) morning. Democrat Clark Johnson of North Mankato was sworn into office by House Speaker Paul Thissen today at 9:30am. The 60-year-old MSU-Mankato professor was the winner in a 3-way Special Election for District 19A last week following the resignation of St. Peter Democrat Terry Morrow, who left the Legislature for a job in Chicago. Johnson received nearly 54% of the vote in the election, compared to 36% for Republican Allen Quist and 10% for the Independence Party's Tim Gieseke.

I particularly like the time left display and sensor drying. I highly recommend this Bosch tumble dryer!"

"After a recently purchased condensor dryer which wasn't drying, it was exchanged for this vented dryer and it is absolutely excellent. It is so simple to operate and I haven't had a single wash yet that has come out damp like the previous dryer. In addition the sensor works too and when loading with a lighter load it drys everything accordingly in less time. In addition I personally like the door without the window as it is easier to clean and doesn't pick up the dust. Finally the fluff dispensor is also easy to empty so all round, an excellent buy plus the people at Applicables have been most helpful during this sale so would also recommend them too."

Pros: Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet
"I had a decent but 10-year-old tumble dryer and with getting a new kitchen fitted we decided to treat ourselves to a new dryer too.
The quality of, and features on, this Bosch model made me realise what I'd been missing with the old one. It has a huge drum and a wealth of programme choices.
The sensor that stops the dryer once the clothes are dry is very effective and surely saving us money on the bills. Once the programme finishes, it continues to tumble every so often to prevent clothes from becoming creased.
It's quiet and very easy to use - it is on the pricier side but worth the investment. I am really pleased with this dryer and would recommend it to anyone."

"This product does what it says on the tin, however...the vent hose outlet at the rear of the machine is located at a different height to my old dryer. The problem now is getting the venting hose around the washing machine drainage pipes. It means the dryer must stand prouder than the washing machine so as not to restrict or crease the plastic hose on the dryer. Only cosmetic in a utility room but might be significant in a small kitchen. AO could have described this part of the product better."

Choose your precise degree of drying with the WTA74200GB, which features 15 special programmes. Ideal for use by an average-sized family, its 7kg capacity drum is spacious enough to hold about 21 adult T-shirts.
With a C energy efficiency rating, it's affordable to run. On the standard cotton programme at full load, its energy consumption is 3.9 kwh. Over the course of a year, this translates into average consumption of 482.0 kwh per year. Thus, its average annual energy cost is £72.3, based on a rate of 15p/unit.
When you need dry clothes ASAP, switch on its high-powered 40-minute programme. Another useful option is its anti-crease cycle, which helps you spend less time ironing. Special programmes include: woollens, towels, timed programme warm, timed programme cold, sportswear, lingerie, super quick 40 and shirts/blouses.
As it runs it emits noise of 65 dB, which is about the same volume as normal conversation. And at the end of the cycle, a buzzer will alert you that it's finished. You'll also get a child lock, helping you keep little fingers safely outside. The unit's LED display marks the remaining drying time so you'll know when your clothes will be ready. Plus, you'll love the 24 hour time delay feature from the first time you arrive home to freshly laundered clothes. And for your peace of mind, there's a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

GLSL and frame buffer reads??
I did some GLSL programming, but quickly came up with a problem: Frame buffer reads do not seem to work at all. I'd like to do custom blending functions where one needs to have access framebuffer color and depth values (gl_FBColor and gl_FBDepth). Based on the GLSL spec I found frame buffer reads are in the experimental end of the GLSL feature set. Thus hardware and drivers may not support it at all.
Does anyone know if this is a HW issue, a driver issue or what?
Should I expect the situation to improve?
Here is an example of a compilation log I get:
(5) : error C1008: undefined variable "gl_FBColor"
And below is a sample fragment shader that would not compile:
void main (void)
gl_FragColor = gl_FBColor + vec4(0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 1.0);
I am using 61.06 drivers with an FX 5700 board.
Re: GLSL and frame buffer reads??
Read the documentation more carefully, and it seems frame buffer reads are not really allowed in the current spec. Guess I'll have to use texture rendering and other tricks to do the work...

Step 1: Materials/tools
- two steel rails/rods
- some nylon sliders(some printers use copper sliders, it's fine)
- a few zip ties(more zip ties = sturdier)
- a bit of wood, for the base
- springs, the same diameter as the steel sliders(optional, but IMO it looks and performs better with them)
- A dremel tool
- A drill, I used a cordless one...
- Hammer.
Step 5: Make another hole for your second steel rod and fit it in there!
A very simple idea but great for me to make drill press for my hand drill . Thanhk you for your sharing . vidiati

Background: Medical treatment is a substantial therapeutic measure to achieve glycemic control and prevent hypoglycemic brain damage without surgery in patients with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). However, only few drugs are available and even fewer are approved as a medical therapy to maintain normal blood glucose levels. The established therapies are demanding for caregivers and complicated by different side effects such as gastrointestinal symptoms, hypertrichosis, and obesity. Therefore, it is important to develop new strategies to improve blood glucose control. Methods: We report the use of the very-long-acting somatostatin analogue lanreotide autogel in 6 patients with CHI over a mean duration of 40.8 months. Blood glucose levels before and after the start and dosage titration of lanreotide in these patients are compared. Results: In 3 of 6 patients, switching to lanreotide raised mean blood glucose levels and reduced individually as well as overall the risk for hypoglycemic episodes (odds ratio 0.38) significantly. Conclusion: Lanreotide autogel can be used as an alternative pharmacological treatment and may be beneficial in conservatively treated patients with CHI.

Am I being a big girl?
I took my 990 off road on Saturday and made the mistake of lending my bike to one of the group I was with, just so they could make a comparison to their own bike. A kilometer up the track he promptly dropped it on its side
Anyway all was ok, with the handguards, engine bars and luggage rack taking the strain - just lifted it up and away we went. The new 1190 will be the same as long as you have the engine bars, luggage rack and a decent sump guard.
I have a KTM 350 Enduro bike for racing, but the 990 and then the 1190 when I get it will do everything else. As long as you have decent tyres I'm not sure you will need your XT 660. But your call, you can never have enough bikes!!

Rare Double Struck 1800 Dollar, XF451800 $1--Double Struck, Second Strike 15% Off Center--XF45 PCGS. B-15, BB-195, R.4. A moderately scarce variety among 1800 dollars, there are several diagnostics that identify this variant. There is a prominent die crack through the top of the O in OF, a die dot between the R and T of LIBERTY, and several die flaws around TES. However, of much greater importance is the double striking on this coin. This is a true rarity among early dollars and the few pieces that are known are quickly absorbed by collectors when they become available.
On this coin a wide arc of doubling is seen from 11 to 7 o'clock on the obverse and from 10 to 6 o'clock on the reverse. There is nothing subtle about the doubling on this coin. The stars on the right side of the obverse are all present to a greater or lesser degree on the first strike, and even the tops of TY are evident. On the reverse, OF AMERIC is almost completely visible with the tops of ES and the final A in AMERICA faintly visible. Closer examination shows that all the devices are doubled--of special note is the first date below the prominent date, the eagle's tailfeathers, and UNITED in the left reverse field. The surfaces are brilliant and the coin is generally well struck, except for the highpoint of Liberty's hair on the obverse. Lightly abraded with no individually distracting or significant marks on either side. A very rare and important double struck Bust dollar and of great importance to the collector of early dollars as well as error collectors.(Registry values: N1793) (NGC ID# 24X9, PCGS# 6887)
