Politifact's fact checks are notoriously questionable. This Politifact fact check is among the sloppiest fact checks they've ever published.
Politifact's fact check of Trump's claim about Syrian refugees is rated as half-true. That's based on Mr. Trump's statement that Hillary Clinton "has called for a radical 550 percent increase in Syrian … refugees … despite the fact that there's no way to screen these refugees in order to find out who they are or where they come from."
Politifact says "The 550 percent figure is correct. To say that there's no way to screen them to find out who they are or where they come from ignores the extensive screening they undergo." That last statement would surprise FBI Director Jim Comey and Jim Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence. This article publishes information that directly contradicts Politifact's fact check when it says "Virtually no database of information exists to screen Syrian refugees coming into the United States, according to the FBI Director James Comey. The statements were made by Comey while testifying to the House Judiciary Committee about the security risks involved in taking in Syrian refugees."
In other words, FBI Director Comey testified to the House Judiciary Committee that "virtually no database of information exists to screen Syrian refugees coming into the United States." That directly contradicts Politifact's published statements.
Then there's this statement published in Politifact's questionable fact check:
Compared to other countries, the United States has accepted very few – about 2,000 last year, for example. Half are children. Only about 2 percent are single men of combat age, the mostly likely demographic for a would-be terrorist.
That statement is directly contradicted by this information:
During the hearing, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) pointed out, according to the U.N., more than 43 million people worldwide are now displaced because of conflicts. Children constitute close to 41 percent of all refugees worldwide and women almost half.
However, the percentages are significantly different when it comes to the Syrian refugees. Of the close to 380,000 arrivals across the Mediterranean Sea from January through September of this year, 15%were children, 13% were women and 72% were men. Gohmert quoted Director of National Intelligence James Clapper as saying, "This provides a prime opportunity for Islamic State groups to attack Western targets … It's a disaster of biblical proportions."
This video must be watched for verification:
Based on FBI Director Comey's testimony and DNI Director Clapper's statement, I rate Politifact's fact check mostly false. It ignores congressional testimony that directly contradicts their statements.

Donald Trump's acceptance speech last night has been characterized as being scary or dark by Democrats. Mo Elleithee, a former Hillary campaign spokesman, said that this was a dreadful week for the GOP. That's spin but not very good spin.
Kellyanne Conway, Trump's pollster, said that she expects Trump and Hillary to be tied in all of the major swing states when the swing state polls start coming out. While it's wise to take anything from a candidate's pollster with a grain of salt, I've watched Mrs. Conway since she was Ms. Fitzpatrick. She isn't a spinner. She's earned the benefit of the doubt with me.
As for Trump's speech, it was different in important and profound ways. He stripped away the façade that the Obama administration has hidden behind for 8 years. It started when Mr. Trump said "It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation. I will present the facts plainly and honestly. We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore. So if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the media myths, the Democrats are holding their convention next week. Go there."
Think of that as Trump's way of telling the elitists in the media and in the Democratic Party (pardon the repetition) that America would hear the truth. Here's an example of that truthfulness:
These are the facts:
Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administration's rollback of criminal enforcement. Homicides last year increased by 17% in America's fifty largest cities. That's the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation's capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. They are up nearly 60 percent in nearby Baltimore.
In the president's hometown of Chicago, more than 2,000 have been the victims of shootings this year alone. And almost 4,000 have been killed in the Chicago area since he took office. The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost 50 percent compared to this point last year.
Democrats say that the speech was dark. Let's ask this question: Are those the type of statistics that should make us feel happy? Or are they the type of statistics that make your heart ache? If that wasn't enough information to make a decision on, this will help thoughtful people make the right decision:
One such border-crosser was released and made his way to Nebraska. There, he ended the life of an innocent young girl named Sarah Root. She was 21 years old and was killed the day after graduating from college with a 4.0 grade point average. Her killer was then released a second time, and he is now a fugitive from the law. I've met Sarah's beautiful family. But to this administration, their amazing daughter was just one more American life that wasn't worth protecting. One more child to sacrifice on the altar of open borders.
There's no spinning that story. If I were to put it in tennis language, that story would be "Game. Set. Match. Championship." Thoughtful people can't hear that story and think we need to continue this administration's immigration policies.
This is a powerful indictment of Hillary's incompetence:
In 2009, pre-Hillary, ISIS was not even on the map. Libya was stable. Egypt was peaceful. Iraq had seen a big reduction in violence. Iran was being choked by sanctions. Syria was somewhat under control.
After four years of Hillary Clinton, what do we have? ISIS has spread across the region and the entire world. Libya is in ruins, and our ambassador and his staff were left helpless to die at the hands of savage killers. Egypt was turned over to the radical Muslim Brotherhood, forcing the military to retake control. Iraq is in chaos. Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons. Syria is engulfed in a civil war and a refugee crisis that now threatens the West. After 15 years of wars in the Middle East, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before.
This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: Death, destruction and terrorism and weakness.
That's a devastating and accurate before and after portrait of Hillary's incompetence. Think of it as the indictment the Justice Department didn't attempt to get.

It's easy to believe that Chris Christie was a US prosecutor in a previous career before politics. His
prosecution speech Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention was intended, as Brit Hume put it, to rip the skin off of Hillary Clinton. If that was the goal, Gov. Christie succeeded.
Early in his speech, Gov. Christie said "Over the last eight years, we have seen this Administration refuse to hold her accountable for her dismal record as Secretary of State. Well, tonight, as a former federal prosecutor, I welcome the opportunity to hold her accountable for her performance and her character." At that point, it was unmistakable what Gov. Christie was going to do. It was obvious that he was going to prosecute Hillary Clinton within an inch of her political life.
The first case he prosecuted was Libya, saying "In North Africa, she was the chief engineer of our disastrous overthrow of Qaddafi in Libya. Libya today after Hillary Clinton's grand strategy? Libya's economy in ruins, death and violence in the streets and ISIS now dominating the country. Hillary Clinton, as a failure for ruining Libya and creating a nest for terrorist activity by ISIS guilty or not guilty?"
The next count Gov. Christie prosecuted Mrs. Clinton on was Boko Haram:
In Nigeria, Hillary Clinton amazingly fought for two years to keep an Al-Qaeda affiliate off the terrorist watch list. What happened because of this reckless action by the candidate who is the self proclaimed champion of women around the world? These terrorists abducted hundreds of innocent young girls two years ago. These school girls are still missing today. What was the solution from the Obama/Clinton team? A hashtag campaign!
Christie was just getting warmed up. Later, it was onto prosecuting Hillary over Syria:
In Syria, she called President Assad a "reformer" and a "different kind of leader". With 400,000 now dead…think about that. Four. Hundred. Thousand. Dead. At the hands of the man Hillary defended. We must ask this question: Hillary Clinton, as an awful judge of the character of a dictator-butcher in the Middle East guilty or not guilty?
Each time Gov. Christie asked the people in the hall if Hillary was "guilty or not guilty", they responded with an emphatic statement of "guilty."
Later, Gov. Christie said "In Russia, she went to the Kremlin on her very first visit and gave them the symbolic reset button. The button should have read, "delete" she is very good at that because she deleted in four years what it took 40 years to build. The next year, she said our goal was to strengthen Russia. Strengthen an adversary led by a dictator who dreams of reassembling the old Soviet empire? What a dangerous lack of judgment. Once again, as a flawed evaluator of dictators and failed strategist who has permitted Russia back in as a major player in the Middle East is Hillary Clinton guilty or not guilty?"
One of the goals of this convention is to turn Hillary's supposed strength, foreign policy, into a weakness. Thanks to Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie, they're well on their way to accomplishing that.

I intentionally gave this post that inflammatory title. Other than a few left fringers that I could count on my fingers, nobody is pro-terrorist. It isn't difficult to make a case that there are lots of lefties that hate America or that think that they need to apologize for America, with our current president at the top of that list.
After reading Chris Stirewalt's article, though, I thought it was important to highlight how the Democrats' passivity or indifference towards terrorism and their pandering towards #BlackLivesMatter, Hands up, don't shoot and Al Sharpton have created the situation we're currently facing.
Shortly after starting in office, President Obama said that he didn't know the facts surrounding the Cambridge Police Department arresting Henry Gates but that he knew that "the cops acted stupidly." Later, he sent then-US Attorney General Eric Holder to Ferguson to conduct a civil rights review and investigation. President Obama even bought into the 'Hands up, don't shoot' storyline. President Obama didn't speak out against Black Lives Matter, either, because he wanted them stirred up for the midterm elections.
Couple that with Bill DeBlasio's shameful statement that he worries about his son and Gov. Dayton's statement that he thinks that Philando Castile would still be alive if he wasn't black and Mrs. Clinton's statement that systemic racism is putting African-Americans in danger.
It isn't a stretch to say that the Democrats' default position is to question law enforcement authorities. It's simply happened too many times to argue otherwise.
As for terrorism, it's painfully obvious that this administration hasn't done all it could in fighting ISIS. John Kerry admitted that attacks against Syria and ISIS would be "unbelievably small":
In Afghanistan, generals recommended to President Obama that they use a troop surge to destroy the Taliban. Rather than immediately accepting their recommendation, the administration dithered and dithered until the opportunity had passed and the Taliban had escaped. After all that time waiting, President Obama ordered a troop surge, then stated in the very next sentence when he'd pull our the surge troops.
Hillary isn't much better. She's more 'hawkish', if you can call it that. She's more willing to use the military but she's only willing to do that in a photo op way. Look at Libya. She insisted that we get rid of Qaddafi. Eventually, that happened. Then she ignored all of Christopher Stevens' urgent requests for additional security. After ignoring those urgent cables, the result was Christopher Stevens getting killed in a terrorist attack.
There's no proof that she's learned from that lesson.
Simply put, the Democratic Party hasn't shown that they have the inclination to consistently support police officers or to fight terrorists wherever they are. If we want to make America safe again, then voting for Hillary isn't an option. She has tons of national security experience with virtually no serious accomplishments. Think Benghazi, the Arab Spring, the Russian Reset Button and insisting that Bashar al-Assad was a reformer we could work with.
That isn't the type of experience that I'd vote for.

The Boston Globe's Joan Vennochi is one of the most consistently liberal columnists in the nation. That's her persona. Think of this morning's column as the literary equivalent of Vennochi taking a wooden spoon to Mrs. Clinton's political backside.
It didn't take long for Ms. Vennochi to break out the punishment, saying "One man driving a truck, 84 people dead. Donald Trump wants to declare war on that. It isn't real policy. It's rhetoric, a direct appeal to the gut, to the anger and fear people experience when they watch the reports from Nice. Hillary Clinton wants us to be smarter, talk to our allies, and maybe hold a summit. Her typically wonky response reflects little understanding of what average Americans feel when they see bodies, strollers, and a stuffed animal strewn along a beach promenade."
I haven't been a fan of Mr. Trump but I'd be intellectually dishonest if I didn't say that, when it comes to terrorism, Donald Trump gets it. Hillary's litany of foreign policy mistakes is proof that she doesn't get it. Ms. Vennochi wasn't done. A couple paragraphs later, she wrote "Statistically, the likelihood of a terror attack may still be small, but at a certain point, statistics don't matter. After terrorist attacks in Paris, Brussels, and Istanbul, such violence feels possible in any major city. And attacks at home, in San Bernardino and Orlando, instill fear of the lone wolf terrorist next door, making us suspicious of each other. Last week's murders of five Dallas police officers were not inspired by any foreign terrorist cause, but elevate the fear and suspicion."
Dissertations aren't in order when terrorists hit a soft target. That's for the professors to deal with a year later. Leaders need to lead. One of President Bush's highest moments came while standing on a pile of rubble at Ground Zero:
That's what leaders do. They rally their citizens to a cause bigger than themselves. They don't issue 5,000-word dissertations on where terrorists start. They don't explain why we need to understand the terrorists. They tell people that terrorists are evil and, like with other evil people, they need to be destroyed ASAP.
That doesn't require a 2-year commitment of 250,000 ground troops in a distant country. That's Iraq, not ISIS. To win this war, we need to listen to people like Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and others who think like him. ISIS is constantly morphing and transforming itself. It's essential that we do the same to keep them at bay and prevent their attacks.

Donald Trump is onto something that might change the dynamics of the presidential race. I don't know whether it's enough but it's difficult picturing him not painting the Obama-Clinton foreign policy as anything but a failure. He certainly did in this article, saying "The Middle East today is more unstable than ever before", adding that "She led him right down a horrible path. He didn't know what he was doing."
HINT TO MR. TRUMP: He still doesn't. It isn't that he's stupid generally speaking. It's that he's foolish because his ideology won't let him see reality. Steve Hayes has said multiple times that "Obama sees the world that he wants to exist, not the world that does exist." That's exactly right.
Hillary suffers from the same mental disease. On March 27, 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said "many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he's a reformer." Hillary is the idiot that gave Russia the infamous reset button. That's been a disaster for the entire region, starting with Ukraine, then advancing into Syria to stabilize Assad and protecting ISIS.
With ISIS-planned or ISIS-inspired attacks happening more frequently, we can't tolerate a terrorist 'new normal'. We need clear-thinking people that aren't afraid to tell the American people the truth and who won't hesitate in killing terrorists. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is one of those guys. Watch this video and tell me that he isn't a clear-thinking expert:
John Bolton is another clear-thinking expert:
If there is a Trump administration, Gen. Flynn should be Trump's Secretary of Defense; Bolton should be his Secretary of State. These are serious men who see the world that exists and that are willing to help Islamic terrorists meet their allotment of virgins. It's time the US had a national security team that took the world seriously. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry haven't taken the world seriously in the last 8 years.

This article isn't good news for Chuck Schumer. Sen. Schumer wants to be the Senate Majority Leader in January. At this point, that's looking like an uphill fight. The worse news is that it's looking like the Democrats' fight is getting more uphill by the week.
The article's second paragraph says "The Quinnipiac University poll of more than 1,000 Florida voters shows Rubio with a double-digit lead over each of the two likely Democratic nominees, Rep. Patrick Murphy (50%-37%) and Rep. Alan Grayson (50%-38%). The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points."
This is now a safe Republican seat. That poll takes this seat off the list of seats that the Democrats might potentially pick up.
That's quite a difference from when Sen. Rubio initially announced that he'd seek re-election. At the time, the Cook Political Report said "Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio has reversed his decision to retire from the Senate at the end of this Congress and will run for a second term. In doing so, he has breathed new life into the GOP's chances of holding the seat, but that doesn't mean that he has become anything more than the very slightest of favorites in November. The race will remain in the Toss Up column." It will be interesting to see how Cook explains what tipped that race that quickly.
Remember that this poll happened before the terrorist attack in Nice, France. If I were a betting man, I'd bet the proverbial ranch that Rubio will have opened up a bigger lead next month, especially if the tempo of ISIS-inspired terrorist attacks keeps increasing.
Quinnipiac's Swing State Poll isn't good news for Ohio Democrats, either. Their poll says "Sen. Rob Portman [leads]former Gov. Ted Strickland 47–40%." A couple months back, Portman trailed by 9 points. The next Quinnipiac Swing State Poll had them tied. Now, Portman has opened an outside-the-margin-of-error lead over Gov. Strickland. Clearly, it's trending in Sen. Portman's direction. What's interesting about this is the fact that Gov. Strickland has higher name recognition than Sen. Portman.
Finally, it's safe to say that Sen. Toomey is sitting in a strong position for re-election:
The man-woman matchup in the Pennsylvania Senate race produces only a small gender gap. Men back Toomey 53%-35%, while women are divided with 45 percent for Toomey and 42 percent for McGinty.
In the pure horse race poll, "Sen. Pat Toomey over Democrat Katie McGinty 49%-39%." It's probably too early to say this race is over but it isn't too early to say that Sen. Toomey is in a solid position to win re-election.

Yesterday, a truck-driving terrorist killed at least 80 people attending the Bastille Day fireworks in Nice, France. NBC is reporting that a "truck plowed into pedestrians during Bastille Day celebrations in the popular French seaside city of Nice Thursday, leaving at least 80 people dead in what the nation's president called 'obviously a terrorist attack.'"
Thursday night's terrorist attack isn't unprecedented. Though trucks of this size have never been used like this before, the idea was written about in 2010. Why didn't we hear that Al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula's Inspire magazine "dedicated an entire article to the use of vehicles to kill" in their fall 2010 publication.
The article got specific, telling potential future terrorists to "Pick your location and timing carefully. Go for the most crowed locations. Narrower spots are also better because it gives less chance for the people to run away. Avoid locations where other vehicles may intercept you."
Further, it said "To achieve maximum carnage, you need to pick up as much speed as you can while still retaining good control of your vehicle in order to maximize your inertia and be able to strike as many people as possible in your first run."
Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, the man who should be Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense if he's elected, was irate. Appearing on Megyn Kelly's show, Gen. Flynn unloaded. If you don't watch any other video this week, this video is must see material:
Here's part of what Gen. Flynn said:
This is just a larger scale version of a tactic that we've seen used. They've used this tactic before. We know this has been used in the Middle East against the Israelis. The thing that I'm worried about — there is a warning that's coming across social media for Germany and I've gotten little bits and pieces about the potential for Berlin so I don't know what activities are going on there but I'm putting that out. I've already contacted my friends over there to let them know because I have social media capabilities that we look at.
Gen. Flynn was just getting started. Later, he said this:
We've captured their campaign plan over the last decade. We've actually captured it twice and it is essentially the same thing so we're going to hear how well we're doing in Iraq and Syria, that we're pushing them back, we fought them out of Fallujah. Actually, that's not what I see and that's not what I hear. There is so much chatter right tonight by what I would call the jihadi soldiers, the jihadi army on Twitter and on Telegram on social media. There's no chatter by leaders but we don't know who these guys are but I know that there's a lot of chatter by their soldiers praising what just happened.
Then Gen. Flynn lowered the boom on the entire Obama administration, Hillary included:
These guys are executing a campaign plan. Thiessen, who you just had on recently, he read it out of their magazine … What we have not done — and I will stop here and get off my soapbox in just a minute — but what we have not done, from an international standpoint, we have not established a set of strategic objectives to go after this vicious, very barbaric enemy. They have declared war on us. This is a world war. This is a world war. It's not like it was in the history books of World War II. It might not feel like tanks on the desert and planes and ships at sea but this is a world war. They declared war on us. We must, internationally, we must create a new Twenty-First Century alliance, but we have got to take the Arab Muslim world to task, the leaders in this world.
If Trump gets elected, Gen. Flynn needs to become his first Secretary of Defense and John Bolton his first Secretary of State. They'd send the signal that America is serious about killing terrorists again.
President Obama has been the world president in terms of national security in my lifetime. He's far worse than Jimmy Carter. That's something I never thought I'd say.
Watch the entire video. It's compelling viewing. Gen. Flynn on his soapbox on fighting terrorists is must see TV. You'll learn more in 5 minutes of listening to him than you'd learn in listening to Hillary Clinton for her entire time as Secretary of State.

If I could pass a law or if I could mandate a particular type of behavior, I'd require every senator and every representative from both parties ask the types of probing, cut-through-the-BS questions that Trey Gowdy consistently asks.
Chairman Gowdy isn't into grandstanding. He isn't prone to making speeches for the purpose of scoring political points. He's prone to doing his homework first so he's a self-taught expert on whatever subject he's addressing. He's prone to asking questions that elicit informative, substantive answers that enlighten citizens and exposes politicians.
It isn't difficult to think that Loretta Lynch was squirming while she was being questioned by Chairman Gowdy. Watch this video and tell me whether you think Chairman Gowdy is making Ms. Lynch squirm. I'm thinking Ms. Lynch's answers made Mrs. Clinton squirm, too. One of the questions that likely made Mrs. Clinton squirm came when Chairman Gowdy asked Ms. Lynch "Why do you think it's important to use official email to conduct official business"?
That likely didn't make Mrs. Clinton squirm as much as when Chairman Gowdy said "I doubt that you even use your usdoj -dot- gov account to send classified information, do you?" Ms. Lynch replied that she didn't use that account, noting that "we have separate systems. There would be a classified system for that." That's when Chairman Gowdy moved in for the kill against Mrs. Clinton:
GOWDY: So not only do you not use personal email. You don't even use your usdoj -dot- gov account. You've got a separate, dedicated system to handle classified information. Why?
LYNCH: We have a separate system to handle security needs.
GOWDY: But my question is why. Why is it important to you to not use your personal email to conduct official business and to use a separate system, more safely-guarded system when you do handle classified information?
GOWDY: But it's not just a personal preference, is it?
LYNCH: It allows for the protection of the information.
It's painfully obvious that Hillary knew that was the system. It's painfully obvious because she once was a US senator who had to obey the rules established by the committee chairs on viewing confidential information. Mrs. Clinton had been to Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities, aka SCIFs. SCIFs are defined as "accredited area, room, group of rooms, or installation where sensitive compartmented information may be stored, used, discussed, or electronically processed." Access is limited. Electronic devices aren't allowed to be brought into a SCIF because of the sensitive information stored in SCIFs.
Knowing about the existence of and the purpose for SCIFs, why did Mrs. Clinton ignore that phalanx of security precautions and use a system that a high school kid could hack into? Was it because Mrs. Clinton didn't care about protecting top secret information? Or was it because Mrs. Clinton wanted to hide her emails from the public at all costs? Or did she do it for both reasons?

It isn't a secret that the media has seen protecting President Obama and Hillary Clinton as one of their primary responsibilities. Still, it's stunning that it's outdone itself with this Miami Herald editorial.
With regards to absolving Hillary of all wrongdoing, it created a preposterous argument, saying "Yes, it found a series of failings by the national security bureaucracy, but here's what else it did: Cleared former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of the absurd accusation that she somehow knew about the attack on the diplomatic compound in Libya before it happened and did nothing about it." That's breathtakingly dishonest. I've followed this story for almost 4 years. In that time, I've never heard anyone accuse Mrs. Clinton of knowing "about the attack on the diplomatic compound before it happened and did nothing about it."
What has happened is that people accused Mrs. Clinton of not acting on repeated requests from Christopher Stevens for additional security. Then as now, Democrats have insisted that the cables, many of them labeled as urgent, never were brought to Mrs. Clinton's attention. Then as now, nobody outside of her inner circle believes her. That's why her honest and trustworthy numbers stink.
This part really stinks:
The GOP-led committee's desire to find evidence of malfeasance by Ms. Clinton to support all the conspiracy theories surrounding Benghazi went unfulfilled. Had there been real facts to support it, surely this committee would have found it.
First, the thing that sets Benghazi apart from other tragic events is the relative scarcity of conspiracy theories of what happened that night. Next, this article highlights the evidence showing the utter incompetence of Mrs. Clinton and the disinterest shown by President Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta:
The following facts are among the many new revelations in Part I:
- Despite President Obama and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's clear orders to deploy military assets, nothing was sent to Benghazi, and nothing was en route to Libya at the time the last two Americans were killed almost 8 hours after the attacks began. [pg. 141]
- With Ambassador Stevens missing, the White House convened a roughly two-hour meeting at 7:30 PM, which resulted in action items focused on a YouTube video, and others containing the phrases "[i]f any deployment is made," and "Libya must agree to any deployment," and "[w]ill not deploy until order comes to go to either Tripoli or Benghazi." [pg. 115]
- The Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff typically would have participated in the White House meeting, but did not attend because he went home to host a dinner party for foreign dignitaries. [pg. 107]
- A Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team (FAST) sat on a plane in Rota, Spain, for three hours, and changed in and out of their uniforms four times. [pg. 154]
- None of the relevant military forces met their required deployment timelines. [pg. 150]
- The Libyan forces that evacuated Americans from the CIA Annex to the Benghazi airport was not affiliated with any of the militias the CIA or State Department had developed a relationship with during the prior 18 months. Instead, it was comprised of former Qadhafi loyalists who the U.S. had helped remove from power during the Libyan revolution. [pg. 144]
How can a patriotic American read that information and not be infuriated? That the Miami Herald read that and dismissed it says that a) there aren't any patriots on the Miami Herald's Editorial Board and b) the Miami Herald's Editorial Board can't be trusted to offer insightful, honest opinions about the biggest events of our time. That's how it can say this with a straight face:
The report, a product of the longest Congressional investigation in memory on possible wrongdoing in the executive branch, longer than Watergate or 9/11, went a bit further and deeper than the earlier ones, but the general outline was already known.
TRANSLATION: This report was far more detailed than the other 'investigations' but we the media have already determined the narrative we're going to push. If it conflicts with the truth, then the truth be damned. It's the narrative, damn it.
Watch Andrea Mitchell's interview of Chairman Gowdy. Then tell me his committee didn't uncover important new information:
If this plethora of new information doesn't constitute important new information, what would constitute something new and important?

"We suspend our practical cooperation with Russia in all areas," he declared.
Also, he remarked that NATO was working "more closely with Ukraine to reform its armed forces and defense institutions."
NATO Secretary General said that if Russia conitnues to destabilise the situation in Ukraine, more sanctions will follow.
He urged Russia "to engage in a sincere dialogue for a peaceful solution" of the Ukrainian crisis.
Earlier in the day, at a meeting with Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada speaker Oleksander Turchynov, Rasmussen said that NATO was suspending cooperation with Russia and enhancing the collective defence for the protection of all NATO members and made a decision to raise the level of support and cooperation with Ukraine, the parliamentary press-service said.
Also, the parliamentary press-service quoted Rasmussen as saying the Ukraine-NATO summit, due in Wales in September would allow for taking more concrete steps in establishing productive cooperation by the two parties.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko decorated Rasmussen with the Order of Liberty - the country's highest award for foreign nationals.
"For many years you have been Ukraine's friend," he said and voiced the hope that Ukraine's cooperation with NATO was a pre-requisite for Ukrainian reforms and the country's territorial integrity.
The Federation Council (upper house of Russia's parliament) sees no big damage from NATO's decision to suspend cooperation with Moscow.
"Under the Rome Declaration, it was intended that Russia and NATO would jointly assess the situation, make decisions, act together and share responsibility for these actions. But this never happened," he said.
Ozerov compared cooperation between Russia and NATO with a bad marriage whereby the spouses maintain only a formal relationship. "This institute did not work even once after the Libyan or South Ossetian crisis," he said.
"Going back to my comparison with the marriage, there is no property to divide," he added.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes

UltraViolet gains Amazon support, sees 750,000 sign-ups in 3 months
UltraViolet has added another string to its bow with the announcement that Amazon has agreed to use the system for online storing and streaming movies.
As the largest online retailer this is quite an addition to the UltraViolet system and may help attract more partners to push UV as the one-stop shop for cloud-based digital libraries of movies and TV shows.
"We're very excited about the additional possibilities from a customer's point of view that UV enables," said Bill Carr, EVP of digital at Amazon, during a panel discussion at CES 2012 in Las Vegas.
UltraViolet has also announced that it has registered 750,000 users in the first 3 months of operations, but given the potential scale of the operation, some might say that this number isn't incredibly high. The system went live in the UK on 26 December with Final Destination 5, but has been running in the US for longer.
The aim of UltraViolet is to offer customers enduring digital rights to movies they buy. Rather than being locked into a particular device or system, you'll be able to access that title - via an UltraViolet partner - across devices on many platforms.
DECE (Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem), the consortium behind UltraViolet is looking to announce the common file format for downloads in the next 6 months, to ensure a consistent experience across UltraViolet retailers.
So far, Flixter, Sony Pictures and Universal have all offered access to UltraViolet. Samsung has announced that its Smart Blu-ray players will stream content through Flixter this year, an important step to creating a simple path between online content and on-screen movies; Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba are also members of the alliance.
To date Warner Bros, Universal Pictures and Sony Pictures have all released DVD and Blu-ray titles that can be accessed through UltraViolet. Paramount Pictures has confirmed that it plans to offer movies through the service, with other major studios signed up, leaving Walt Disney on the outside.
With UltraViolet potentially gaining momentum, it may well succeed in becoming the central repository for digital movie access - whether you are buying online or accessing a digital copy you're entitled to from a physical disc purchase.

For a trip report, I'd like to share the online version of a magazine article I wrote on the subject title. There is a bit of navigation involved, but it's pretty easy.
At www.times-herald.com/magazine, look for recent issues and click on July/August. When "summer fun" comes up, you'll notice to the right of the cover a box with a magnifying glass. Click it, type "32", hit enter, and then click on "pages 32". Click on the arrows to obtain a full screen. If you click on a photo, it will enlarge.
Admittedly, the observation about Venice is common knowledge among veteran travelers, but it might help some. The section on Florence is rather subjective, but it is my experience.
Hope you enjoy the article.

Recent Orange Beach reviews
"We had a wonderful vacation staying in this condo. It felt like home in that it was comfortable, clean, luxurious and fit our needs perfectly. Three bedrooms with a bathroom each was key. I love the master bedroom and bath. The other two rooms were beyond adequate , very nice. The security team was helpful and always near. That was nice to know, not that we ever felt unsafe. We felt comfortable with our teens throughout the property."Guest: Melanie S. Date of Stay: April 2016 Review Submitted: April 27, 2016View listing
"This was our favorite vacation yet! This condo was the nicest one we have ever stayed in and we will definitely be back. The amazing kitchen was stocked and enormous. There was a bar with an ice machine which is must for the beach! The bedrooms were huge with their own bathrooms. The condo was so spacious and private. We loved the large balcony and watching the Dolphins from the hot tub. The entire property was very well maintained by staff. Excellent vacation and condo!"Guest: Chelsea R.

"We arrived late due to traffic and had called to let them know; no problem; pick up the key and come by the office in the morning. This is way different from most places. The townhouse condo was perfect. Going up and down stairs was a challenge but we made it. Yes, there is a view of the Gulf from the patio. Everything appeared fresh and new and that pleased the wife. Our contribution to the coffee filter stash was left behind. No need to bring more. We will be back!"Guest: Robert B. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 13, 2015View listing
"Our stay in 204Bwas really nice. The unit was decorated nicely. Check in and Check out was breeze and the kids enjoyed watching the alligator and turtles from the balcony each day. The unit was fully equipped with everything we needed. the kids also enjoyed the pool on evenings when we were too drained from the track meet to go to the beach. Beaches, food, shopping, restaurants all close by! Will definitely look to stay here again for the next trip.."Guest: Tanyika28 Date of Stay: May 2016 Review Submitted: May 16, 2016View listing

Chess Tactics for Champions: A step-by-step guide to using tactics and combinations the Polgar way
by Susan Polgar
There is a preview on Amazon
If you will use your brain to solve all problems, it is worth to get the book. I used it with my son.
You read a chapter about one theme, then you solve problems.
Your 800 rating means that you are not novice. Though you still need a lot to learn and practice. The book will help. If you can try not even setup positions on the board. It will save some time. If you will find difficult positions only then put it on your board.
Try one chapter from a preview. If you like it , get it.
I have a copy of this book and it is really good to get acquainted with basic tactical patterns, but as mentioned by NM ZaidejasChegis you need to use your brain to solve all problems. That's the only way to make any progress.
In the end any tactical training, in which you use your brain to solve the problems (in stead of just guessing), will make you better at the game. Perhaps "a course in chess tactis", by Dejan Bojkov and Vladimir Georgiev is also a good choise.
Get a copy of "Bobby Fischer teaches Chess" and go all the way through it. It's in workbook format and can be picked up used for a couple bucks on Ebay. Just be sure it hasn't been written in by previous owners.
Yes that is a good book for you. It will improve your tactics..
I have the book signed by her. She came to one of my uscf tournaments and was selling them for $15. I also like how there is a chess rating scale on the back.

Eales Disease Medication
- Author: Daniel B Roth, MD; Chief Editor: Hampton Roy, Sr, MD more...
Medication Summary
No drugs have been found to be effective in the treatment of the underlying mechanism of Eales disease. Medications used in different studies are mentioned above, but they have not been proven to be beneficial. Cystoid macular edema can complicate Eales disease and has responded to periocular and intravitreal triamcinolone.
Class Summary
Have anti-inflammatory properties and cause profound and varied metabolic effects. Modify the body's immune response to diverse stimuli. Used to stabilize the blood-retinal barrier and to induce resolution of macular edema.
Triamcinolone (Amcort, Kenalog)
For inflammatory dermatosis responsive to steroids; decreases inflammation by suppressing migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reversing capillary permeability. Posterior sub-Tenon injection of steroid to reduce cystoid macular edema. Depending on etiology of edema, it is often DOC.
Antineoplastic Agent, Monoclonal Antibody
Class Summary
Bevacizumab (Avastin) is a monoclonal antibody that binds to VEGF or vascular endothelial growth factor. It was approved originally in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma. It is now used commonly via intravitreal injection to treat disorders such as exudative macular edema and retinal vein occlusion. Its use has been reported as useful to induce regression of neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy and would have a similar effect against the neovascularization of Eales disease.
Bevacizumab (Avastin)
Inhibitor of VEGF, a potent mediator of angiogenesis and capillary permeability.

CIAA tournament sees increased ticket sales
by: Tina Terry Updated:CHARLOTTE —
For the past two years organizers of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association have been encouraging fans to fill up tournament seats.
Commissioner Jacquie Carpenter says she's already noticed a slight increase in ticket sales compared to last year's tournament.
"We've got a lot of fans doing walk-ups this week. Normally we don't allow that, you have to buy a book, but because we want to get more locals involved and more people in the building we've provided that opportunity," said Carpenter.
On Saturday fans told Tina Terry they hope that small spike is enough to keep the tournament in Charlotte next year.
"I think it should be where the CIAA was born and bred, that's right here in North Carolina...Charlotte, North Carolina," one fan said.
Earlier this week Eyewitness News reported the tournament was preparing to take bids from other cities, like Atlanta and Raleigh, in hopes of getting more direct financial support and drawing larger crowds.
Carpenter says those plans have not changed.
"All I know is we're going to do the best we can to make the best decisions for our students and member institutions," said Carpenter.

New Drugs Against Bacteria
March 3, 2014
Article's tools:
Polish researchers have isolated a group of non-toxic compounds and developed a range of new drugs to combat bacteria that resist existing antibiotics. The compounds can chiefly be used against E-coli bacteria, say the researchers, who hail from the Polish Academy of Sciences' Institute of Organic Chemistry (IChO) in Warsaw.
In recent years there has been a rapid increase in the number of bacterial infections that are difficult to treat or completely resist available antibiotics. Many strains of bacteria have developed defense systems that neutralize traditional antibiotics such as penicillin. Most antibiotics are derivatives of a limited number of compounds that work against bacterial cells.
The search for new groups of antibacterial compounds is a challenge for scientists, says Prof. Zofia Lipkowska from the Institute of Organic Chemistry, who is the head of the research project. Lipkowska adds, "Compared with modern drugs for chronic diseases, the search for a new generation of antibiotics is not particularly profitable [for pharmaceutical companies] and is not their most important objective."
The IChO researchers have tested and developed methods for the synthesis of about 100 new compounds in collaboration with a team led by Prof. Jolanta Solecka at the National Institute of Public Health/National Institute of Hygiene in Warsaw. The IChO scientists have managed to obtain non-toxic compounds that do not affect red blood cells after getting into the bloodstream. The antibacterial drugs developed by the researchers can be used for disinfecting disposable medical supplies and equipment. For example, they help protect patients from hospital infections during procedures such as catheterization. Cardiac catheterization involves passing a thin flexible tube (catheter) into the right or left side of the heart, usually from the groin or the arm. The compounds can also be used externally, for example to support the treatment of wounds that are difficult to heal. The compounds are not toxic for skin cells and the dermis.
The new antibacterial drugs latch onto bacteria cells, penetrate into their membranes and change their structure.
The unique structure of the compounds allows them to remain stable in the patient's body.
The compounds belong to a new class of nanoparticles called dendrimers and owe their strength to their branched structure. Dendrimers are manmade, nanoscale compounds with unique properties that are used in the health and pharmaceutical industry as both enhancements to existing products and as entirely new products. Dendrimers—the name derives from the Greek dendron, or tree—have a tree-like structure. They are highly branched, star-shaped macromolecules with nanometer-scale dimensions. They are constructed by the successive addition of layers of branching groups. Each new layer is called a generation. The final generation incorporates the surface molecules that give the dendrimer the desired function for pharmaceutical, life science, chemical, electronic and materials applications. Dendrimers fall under the broad heading of nanotechnology, which involves the manipulation of matter in the size range of 1-100 nanometers (one million nanometers equal one millimeter) to create compounds, structures and devices with novel, pre-determined properties.
Dendrimers were first described in 1983 as spherical nanoparticles 2 to 10 nanometers in size that can connect more layers to their core.
The antibacterial drugs developed by the Warsaw researchers have been submitted for patenting. The researchers continue to examine the effectiveness of the new drugs and have conducted studies on resistant strains of E-coli bacteria in hospitals. They now plan to conduct toxicity studies on living organisms.
"We will ask experts and businesses to assess how the compounds should be introduced into production and commercial use," says Lipkowska. She adds, however, that the procedure is time-consuming, so it will take at least 10 years before the new drugs appear in pharmacies.
The compounds developed by the Warsaw researchers have already gained international recognition, for example during the Taipei International Invention Show and Technomart in Taipei, Taiwan. Of 650 inventions exhibited there, the Polish drugs won one of four platinum medals handed out by the organizers.
The Warsaw team received a grant from the National Center for Research and Development for their research.
