When the Department of Defense closed military installations as a part of the base realignment and closure process and transferred properties to public and private ownership, it in some cases retained a portion of an installation as a military enclave. During this process, legal jurisdiction over an enclave may be transferred from the federal government to the local government. Such a transfer may incorporate provisions for fire protection and other services by local and state governments. A federal fire-fighting service provides fire protection services at the Navy's enclave located at the Philadelphia Naval Business Center. This is one of the three military enclaves, formed during the base closure and realignment process, which is still protected by federal firefighters. Twenty-four other military enclaves were converted from federal to local fire protection during the base closure process. The Navy retained a federal fire-fighting force at its enclave at the Philadelphia Naval Business Center because of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania did not respond to the Navy's request to change the jurisdiction of the Navy-retained land. The level of fire protection at the Philadelphia Naval Business Center is similar to that available elsewhere in the City of Philadelphia, but the arrangements for providing that protection differ. If a fire occurs on non-Navy property within the business center, both the Navy and the Philadelphia fire departments will automatically respond to the call, with the Navy as the first responder. However, if the fire is located on Navy-owned property at the business center, only Navy firefighters will automatically respond to the alarm. As private development at the Philadelphia Naval Business Center continues, the fire protection arrangements are expected to be reassessed. The Commissioner of the Philadelphia Fire Department stated that, as development at the business center continues to increase, his office will need to reevaluate the location of city-owned fire stations in the area around the business center.

The White House released its annual report to Congress on 2014 White House Staff Salaries yesterday and Zachary A. Goldfarb of the Washington Post analyzed the data and found a gender pay gap of 13% based on the difference between the average White House male staffer salary of $88,600 and the average female salary of $78,400. A few issues and comments about the Washington Post article:
1. Comparisons of salaries by gender (or ethnic groups) almost always use median salaries, not average salaries.
2. Calculating gender gaps/disparities usually compares the ratio of average/median salaries. In this case, the female-male salary ratio for the Washington Post's data of averages would be $78,400 / $88,600, for a salary ratio of 88.5%, and a gender gap of 11.5%, not the 13% reported by the Post.
3. My own detailed analysis of the 2014 White House Staff Salaries reveals the following:
a. There are 230 female White House staffers earning an average salary of $79,137 (not $78,400 as the Post is reporting) and a median salary of $65,650.
b. There are 224 male White House staffers earning an average salary of $87,353 (not $88,600 as the Post reported) and a median salary of $75,750.
c. Using median 2014 White House salaries, female staffers currently earn 86.7% of the median salary for men, or 86.7 cents for every $1 men earn (see chart above). That would mean that there is currently a 13.3% gender pay gap at the White House.
The Washington Post did offer this caveat:
The Post calculated the averages on pay disparity after determining the gender of employees through their names and basic research. A few employees could not be identified by gender, but their inclusion in the data would not have changed the overall findings.
Although challenging, I am fairly confident that I was able to correctly identify the gender of each of the 454 White House employees, which explains the minor differences in my salary statistics and the Post's statistics since I am using all 454 employees and the Post's report is based on a slightly smaller number of employees.
What's more important than the minor differences between my analysis and the Post's, are the facts that: a) a persistent gender pay at the White House exists, b) the 13.3% pay gap this year at the White House is not likely the result of gender discrimination, and c) the findings of gender pay gaps in the general economy or at specific organizations are also not likely the result of gender discrimination. While Obama and gender activists constantly lecture us about gender pay gaps nationally, with the assumption that any pay gap results from gender discrimination, the persistent gender pay at Obama's own White House exposes the White House hypocrisy. If a 13.3% pay gap at the Obama White House results from factors having nothing to do with gender discrimination, isn't is possible that the national gender pay gaps also have nothing to do with discrimination? That is, if a 13.3% White House gender pay gap can be explained by factors other than discrimination, can't a similar gender pay gap, if it exists at Target, Ford or ExxonMobil, also be explained by factors other than discrimination?
CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski appeared to understand the White House hypocrisy today when she grilled White House spokesman Josh Earnest with the following comments and questions:
On middle class issues and equal pay for equal work — whenever these numbers come out concerning the White House — it keeps coming up repeatedly that the metric that the White House cites for there being a gender pay gap nationwide also exists at the White House….
The White House's response, of course, is when you look at the salary numbers for equal pay for equal work, which should be at the heart of this, it is equal [at the White House]. So do you think that that comparison, then, is one that should not be made, using salary averages [or medians] — whether you apply average salaries to the country as a whole or to salary averages the White House?
Josh Earnest responded:
There are a variety of measures to try to get at whether or not workers are receiving equal pay for equal work. You can look at whether individuals who hold the same title make the same salary. That's certainly the case at the White House. So there is equal pay for equal work that is demonstrated here at the White House.
MP: In other words, when Obama claims that there's a gender pay gap crisis nationally that needs more of his legislation ("President Obama knows that women being paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men isn't just unfair, it hurts families. So the first law he signed was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help ensure that women are paid the same as men for doing the exact same work.") he uses aggregate salary statistics to claim that there's a pay gap based on gender discrimination. But when the White House defends its own 13.3% gender pay gap, they suddenly want to disregard the aggregate statistics showing a significant gender pay disparity, and start controlling for all of the variables that can explain gender pay differences, except for discrimination.
Team Obama can't have it both ways, either: a) there are gender pay differences in any organization, including the White House, than can be explained by factors besides gender discrimination and result in natural differences in aggregate median salaries, or b) any gender pay gap in aggregate salaries in any organization immediately exposes gender discrimination — including the White House — and the pay gaps at those organizations can only be addressed by additional legislation and more rigorous enforcement of existing legislation.
Bottom Line: If Obama applied his typical approach of comparing aggregate salaries to detect discrimination, he would have to admit ongoing gender discrimination at the White House. Alternatively, if a 13.3% gender pay gap at the White House can be explained by factors other than discrimination, Obama should stop using aggregate salary statistics to lecture us about a gender pay gap crisis at the national level

AHL Game Night: 3-30-13 Crunch at AdmiralsSubmitted by pete on March 31, 2013 - 14:31
Crunch only get 1 point out of a Norfolk weekend. Bad.
Riku Helenius allowed 2 goals on 27 shots for the loss. Hard to get mad at him when he got zero goal support. Former JYP mate (and really good player) Sami Vatanen with the dagger, too.
First Period
Second Period
NOR Vatanen, (8) (Wilson, Smith-Pelly), 7:21
Third Period
NOR Mitchell, (10) (Smith-Pelly, Wilson), 4:52
Syracuse did outshoot Norfolk 41-27, but they're missing their best finishers with so many callups to Tampa Bay. They have to be hoping/wishing/praying for someone like Lecavalier to come off the IR quickly.
It's now a 4-way tie atop the Eastern Conference with Springfield, Providence, Syracuse, and Binghamton all tied at 87 points. Providence holds 1 game in hand on the Crunch and Springfield holds 2.
8 games remain in the regular season. 6 of those 8 contests are in Syracuse starting with a matchup against Hershey on Friday.
Box score from TheAHL.com.

Nice lakeside retreat!
We enjoyed a week and a half here. Loons cackling every night -- a great way to decompress. The place was clean and comfortable. The owner is very responsive. What's not to like?
Everything you need is here, and more.
3rd stay here and wont be the last...Absolutlely love this place..peaceful,quiet,views are beautiful and the cabin has everything you need. Close to shopping but far enough away to enjoy country style living... Owners are extremely nice and helpful... Can't say enough...
Location, Location, Location
If you want fancy, stay some place else. If you want a Maine "camp" on the water front, this is for you. One caution would be steep narrow stairs going to the 2nd floor sleeping area. Good for the younger set, not us seniors. Location is close to Bangor and stores. It will bring back memories of Grandma's cottage. They have TV but we playing games and did puzzles. They have a huge supply of DVDs. Very relaxing. The view never got old. We would go again.

This is a great set! It's cheap and you get 5 wonderfully crafted brushes. All of them apply pigment really well, and because it comes with the case, it's great for travel. I would recommend this to everyone, but especially to people just getting into makeup because you get 5 basic brushes that help you create some gorgeous eye looks really easily.
More reviews by ValerieFlowers
I really like these brushes. My favorite ones are the blending one, the crease one, and the smudge. It is unbelievable to me how for less than 6 dollars I can have such good brushes. Also, I like that they are eco-friendly.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
meh. just okay. i actually regret buying this, simply b/c i don't use it. the brushes were all about too stiff, and i need to "enjoy" the softness of a brush to keep using it. but i love the look...just not the brushes.
I'm always a little nervous to try out synthetic hair brushes because I feel like they don't pick up powder well enough, but these brushes are amazing! I've been needing some new brushes, especially a new crease brush. This set is perfect, especially since I bought it as part of a BOGOF deal at RA a few months ago. It's the perfect size to take with me if I ever travel, and it has every brush i need to create an eye look.
I use the big fluffy brush to place my highlight and for a wash of color on my lids. It holds powder eyeshadows very well, and blends them smoothly. I don't really use the angled eyeshadow brush very often, but when I do, I use it to place shadow on the outer half of my lid. This brush also picks up powder well, but it's just not a must have. The crease brush is my favorite since it can blend eyeshadows, be used to put shadows all over the lid, and for only putting shadows in my crease. It's extremely soft, and blends everything together. The powder also adheres well to the brush, something I was concerned about when I first bought the set. The dense eyeshadow brush is very small, but it's great for detail work, such as applying colors to the outer V, which is what I use it most often for. It's very firm, so it applies color precisely. The small smudger brush is a brush I reach for everyday to apply shadow on my lower and upper lashline. Since I don't like to use a lot of eyeliner, this is perfect for applying darker shadows as my liner. It doesn't create any fallout when i brush it under my eyes, and it creates a perfectly smudged, but precise line.
All these brushes are excellent quality. They pick up powder well, an important quality to me, and they are extremely soft. I haven't had any problems washing them either! I was skeptical about buying synthetic brushes, but I will definitely pick up more now.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
hmm... i bought this a few months ago when I just started experimenting with eyeshadows. It's not the end-all product that I want. I like the highlighting brush and use it as a crease brush, and it works well to give that soft gradient look. It does not pick color well like my smashbox brushes. I appreciate that it is soft on my eyes. I just use three brushes often. The highlight brush and the two smaller brushes. The smallest brush is good for applying MAC russian red as it gives me the control I need. The other small brush, I use to line my upper and lower lids. I wont buy again because I'll probably start collecting more expensive brushes. If you are just starting out and expensive brands make you leery, these are extremely useful. The fact that it doesnt pick heavy pigment well means you can learn how to pack eyeshadow on. Oh, and the large blending brush came off the handle.
These are great brushes!! the bristles are soft and the handle is sturdy. another great buy from ecotools!!
Another great buy from Eco Tools. I like the eye brush set, but I wish the brushes were larger in size. Sometimes it's hard for me to use travel size brushes on a daily basis. The kit contains:
>Large Eye Brush ~ Apply and blend shadows.
>Angled Crease Brush ~ Softly apply color to crease for definition.
>Petite Eye Shading Brush ~ Use with deeper or accent colors for a bold look.
>Highlighting Brush ~ Perfect for highlighting the brow bone and inner corners of the eye.
>Smudge Brush ~ Smudge shadow and liner along lash line for a smoky look.
>Cosmetic Case with Mirror ~ Conveniently stores the brushes.
I continue to be amazed at the quality of this line. This set is amazing. Totally comparable to the more expensive brushes, ie. MAC. Soft, yet firm. I get great application and my makeup looks great.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i bought this online off drugstore.com since my country doesn't have any decent affordable brushes. my only problem with this is the little case since its fabric, washable, but you can't wipe it off. so i mover the brushes to a mini pencil holder i found really cheap which is the same color as the ferrules.
not onto the brushes.... the crease brush is my favorite by far. it really does all the job for you in just a second, and blends the eyeshadow itself because its fluffy, but not too much, so it is still precise. the big one that says blend is great for blending, applying an all over wash of shadow, applying highlighter under the brow and my fav - highlighter on top of the cheekbones. perfect size! the one that says highlight is a really nice blending brush! the small one that says smudge is great for highlighting the inner corners of the eyes, cupid's bow, and obviously applying shadow on the lower lash line. the one that says shade is good for applying shadow on the lid and highlighting brows and inner corners.
the brushes are very soft, the look very nice. their size is very good for traveling but they also aren't too short.
i love this!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I wasn't expecting much from these brushes given the price ($8.00)...I pretty much figured I would be happy if I ended up liking one of the brushes for this price. It turns out I not only like, but love, all of the brushes in this set. They are very soft and work as well, if not better than, other $$$ brushes that I have purchased. This was my first Ecotools purchase, and I will be checking out their other brushes.

Six-Time Emmy Award Winning Sports Broadcaster; Lead NFL & MLB Play-by-Play Commentator, Fox Sports
Travels from: Missouri • Fee Code: F
Fee may vary by location
A six-time Emmy Award winner, Joe Buck is one of sports television's premier play-by-play commentators. Along with all-time greats Curt Gowdy and Al Michaels, he is one of three national broadcasters to work as the lead announcer in both the NFL and MLB broadcast booth on a network level in the same season.
Buck has called ten World Series for Fox Sports and handled play-by-play for two Super Bowls, including the New York Giants' dramatic comeback win over the New England Patriots in February 2008. Buck recently signed with HBO to host a new sports talk show, Joe Buck Live, which had its debut this June and will air on a quarterly basis to work around his play-by-play duties with Fox.

I am currently in Helsinki on an official visit to Finland.
Today, I paid a courtesy visit to the President of the Republic of Finland and held a meeting with Minister of Transport, Ms Merja Kyllonen, for an exchange of views about a number of current important issues in the shipping industry and IMO, including my review and reform process, winter navigation and preparation of the Polar Code, GHG emissions from ships, sulphur regulations and the availability of low-sulphur fuels and alternative fuels. Ambassador Pekka Huhtaniemi was with me throughout my official visits to the President and Minister Kyllonen and I appreciate very much his support during my visit to Finland.
I am really impressed by the recent actions taken by the Finnish Government to support the shipping industry in preparation for compliance with the 2015 sulphur regulations, and their decision to provide State aid for promotion of new technology and innovation, such as ships using LNG as fuel, in order to meet environmental regulations.
The shipping industry is facing a difficult time, having to survive the current economic situation in addition to making efforts to comply with three sets of major environmental regulations: energy-efficiency measures (EEDI), ballast water management and sulphur regulations. It needs support from Governments, and Governments should establish clear policies to support shipping , to help it meet the challenges of compliance with these new environmental regulations.
I was encouraged to learn that, under the guidance of the Finnish Government, NESTE OIL is making the necessary investment to produce sufficient volumes of the low-sulphur fuels and alternative fuels. Actions taken by the Finnish Government should be followed by other IMO Member Governments so that we can collectively support the shipping industry to overcome the current challenges to meet the requirements for the protection of the environment.
I also had the privilege to experience ice navigation in the biggest port of Finland, aboard an ice breaking power tugboat of NESTE OIL, and experienced the high performance of the tugboat and observed the double-action oil tanker which is designed to navigate backwards to break the ice with its stern - an innovative design indeed. We have many things to learn from Finland with regard winter navigation, in the context of preparation of the Polar Code, with the target year of 2014.

Daeyang Gallery and House: Steven Holl Architects
The project was designed as an experiment parallel to a research studio on "the architectonics of music." The idea of space as silent until activated by light is realized in the cutting of 55 skylight strips in the roofs of the three pavilions. In each of the pavilions, 5 strips of clear glass allow the sunlight to turn and bend around the inner spaces, animating them according to the time of day and season.
Views from within the pavilions are framed by the reflecting pool, which is bracketed by gardens that run perpendicular to the skylight strips. In the base of the reflecting pool, strips of glass lenses bring dappled light to the white plaster walls and white granite floor of the gallery below.

Obama Admits Government is a Failure? VA Allows Vets to Get Private Care!

-By Warner Todd Huston
After several weeks of scandalous failure to provide timely healthcare to our military veterans, some dying waiting for care that would never come, the Veteran's Administration has now decided to allow veterans to pursue more private healthcare options to improve their treatment. But isn't government turning to the private sector in stark contrast to the theme of the age of Obama, one that holds that private business "didn't build that" and that we need to further empower government?
On May 24, the Associated Press reported that VA chief Eric Shinseki has announced a new plan for VA hospitals and healthcare providers to work more with private doctors. Shinseki told the press that the VA is "increasing the care we acquire in the community through non-VA care."
Shinseki makes this concession as 26 VA facilities thus far have come under investigation for forcing sick veterans to wait for months to receive medical care. Up to 40 or more veterans died waiting for care on these lists.

To honor our troops for this year, I am going to share this story about their mettle. What follows are excerpts from remarks by Marine Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly made to the Semper Fi Society of St. Louis on November 13, 2010. While leading his platoon on a combat patrol, Kelly's son, Marine 1st Lt. Robert Michael Kelly, had been killed in action four days earlier in Sangin, in southern Afghanistan. Lt. Kelly was only 29-years-old.
Giving Thanks for Our Warriors
"Those with less of a sense of service to the nation never understand it when men and women of character step forward to look danger and adversity straight in the eye, refusing to blink, or give ground, even to their own deaths… No, they are not victims but are warriors, your warriors, and warriors are never victims regardless of how and where they fall. Death, or fear of death, has no power over them. Their paths are paved by sacrifice, sacrifices they gladly make… for you….
"Two years ago when I was the commander of all U.S. and Iraqi forces, in fact, the 22nd of April 2008, two Marine infantry battalions, 1/9 'The Walking Dead,' and 2/8 were switching out in Ramadi… Two Marines, Corporal Jonathan Yale and Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter, 22 and 20 years old respectively, one from each battalion, were assuming the watch together at the entrance gate of an outpost that contained a makeshift barracks housing 50 Marines… Yale was a dirt poor mixed-race kid from Virginia with a wife and daughter, and a mother and sister who lived with him and he supported as well. He did this on a yearly salary of less than $23,000. Haerter, on the other hand, was a middle-class white kid from Long Island. They were from two completely different worlds… But they were Marines, combat Marines, forged in the same crucible of Marine training, and because of this bond they were brothers as close, or closer, than if they were born of the same woman.

No Coverage: MSNBC Ignores Growing Veterans Admin Scandal

-By Warner Todd Huston
MSNBC doesn't appear to care about our nation's beleaguered veterans in this mounting medical care scandal. Only one of the left-wing cable network's prime-time hosts have covered the scandalous treatment of our sick vets and then only once.
The developing scandal has revealed that thousands of veterans have been put on secret wait lists and denied healthcare while VA hospital administrators lie about having done so in order for doctors and administrators to get government bonuses. Many veterans have died while awaiting medical treatment and these months-long wait times only foreshadow what will happen to all of us as Obamacare's horrid tentacles force its way into our national healthcare system.
But MSNBC doesn't seem at all interested in news that doesn't fit its extreme, blindly left-wing bias. The network is completely ignoring the story, even though one administration official has already "resigned" because of the whole thing.

Vet. Admin Outrage is Harbinger of Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston
The scandal at the Veteran's Administration (VA) is growing every week. As each new VA hospital is revealed to have made sick veterans wait so long for care that many died while waiting, and then subsequently covered up the truth, we all must come to grips with the fact that this is Obamacare writ large.
If you hadn't been paying attention to how badly Obama's government healthcare system is treating our elderly and sick veterans, you should. Because with Obamacare this sort of criminal behavior is coming to you and your sick relatives whether you served in the military or not.
Essentially what has been happening is that employees, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare pros at the VA have been allowing themselves to have grueling four-hour work days while wait times for their services have naturally been growing exponentially–after all there are fewer hours in a day that patients can be served if the docs and nurses only work four hours a day!
The cover up is the secondary part of this scandal. The newest report at CBS has only the latest example of this disgusting state of affairs.

Obama Forcing the Closure of Fast Food Outlets on Military Bases

Four restaurants, three of which are McDonald's, have closed down on several military bases and a host of other outlets, like Pizza Huts, are also saying they will soon be closing their shops. These closures will seriously damage the quality of life for our soldiers on our military bases and it is all thanks to Barack Obama.
The shocking report from the Military Times has several Republican lawmakers alarmed that the quality of life on our military bases will be diminished thanks to Obama's meddling.
According the MT, several other contractors who operate restaurants and other small businesses on military bases "have asked to be released from their Army and Air Force Exchange Service contracts to operate fast food restaurants at two other installations."

Obama's Veterans Administration Prevent School Kid's Christmas Cards to Troops

-By Warner Todd Huston
Obama's Veteran's Administration has prevented delivery of hand-made Christmas cards that were to go to wounded veterans because the cards made by kids at a Dallas area grade school have the words "Merry Christmas" on them. The VA claims that this traditional Christmas wish will upset veterans who aren't religious and so the cards were not allowed.
Fifty-two students at Grace Academy in Prosper, Texas, sent their hand-made cards to the VA hospital in Dallas on Monday, but authorities declined to accept the cards and would not allow the kids visiting to hand them out, Fox 4 in Dallas-Fort Worth reported.
Asked why she was making cards for our wounded soldiers, fourth grader Gracie Brown said, "I'm hoping that it might make their day because their family might live far away, and they might not have somebody to celebrate Christmas with and I'd like them to know they've not been forgotten and somebody wanted to say thank you."

US Sailors Sue Claiming Fukushima Disaster Gave Them Cancer

The Fukushima nuclear reactor in flames.
More than 50 US sailors are suing Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) for contracting cancer while helping Japan during the tsunami that caused the country's Fukushima nuclear plant to melt down and spew radiation into the ocean.
US sailors from the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Essex have contracted various cancers due to their service. From thyroid and testicular cancer, to leukemia and brain tumors, these young sailors have contracted life-threatening diseases.
The sailors say that they may have contracted these cancers by drinking the desalinated water aboard ship that was made from waters taken from the ocean while they were in and around Japan.

A Fitting Memorial to Veterans on a WWII Monument in India
November 11, 2013 | Filed Under Air Force, Anti-Americanism, Army, Coast Guard, Holiday, Marines, Military, National Guard, Navy, Veterans, Veterans Day, Veterans Day, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
An inscription on a WWII monument in Kohima, India fittingly describes the sacrifices that our soldiers make with their service to our nation. And on this Veterans Day it is also fitting to focus on it. The Inscription says:
"When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today."
What could be a more fitting tribute to the sacrifices made by our fallen loved ones, comrades, and servants? They gave their last full measure so we could enjoy the freedoms we are so fortunate to have today. They gave their lives for our benefit in the truest definition of sacrifice.
This memorial commemorates the Allied dead that faced the Japanese 15th Army upon its invasion of India in March of 1944. The invasion was beaten back by June of the same year through the sacrifice of these Allied troops.
The words are attributed to John Maxwell Edmonds (1875 -1958), an English Classicist who in 1916 added them to a collection of 12 epitaphs to commemorate World War One. Adding the inscription to the Kohima monument was a suggestion by Major John Etty-Leal, the GSO II of the 2nd Division who was a classical scholar in civilian life.
The verse is thought to have been inspired by the Greek lyric poet Simonides of Ceos (556-468 BC) who wrote after the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC: "Go tell the Spartans, thou that passest by, That faithful to their precepts here we lie."
And now we too can recall this verse etched into a stone in a far away and foreign land as a perfect tribute to our fallen as well as for those who gave service to their fellows by wearing the uniform of our armed forces.
So, thank you all. We appreciate your sacrifice. And happy Veterans Day.

80 Christian Airmen Being Punished, Harassed, Threatened for Refusing to Support Gay Marriage

80 members of the Air Force at one base are testifying that they are being harassed, threatened and even punished because they refuse to support gay "marriage."
Fox News' Todd Starnes has the exclusive story of airmen at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas who say they are being attacked by homosexual militants.
Starnes reports: "There is an atmosphere of intimidation at Lackland Air Force Base," said Steve Branson, the pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. "Gay commanders and officers are pushing their agenda on the airmen. There is a culture of fear in the military and it's gone to a new level with the issue of homosexuality."
The pastor says he attended a meeting of many of these Airmen where they voiced their concerns over being harassed by their superiors for standing up for their own, personal religious principles and continuing to oppose the homosexual agenda.

-By Warner Todd Huston
A few years after the Civil War as the nation started upon its long road toward reconciliation, rebuilding, and healing the wife of one of the war's union generals noticed the touching devotion of Confederate widows, wives and their children as each year they came together to place flowers and little flags at the graves of their fallen. Mary Simmerson Cunningham Logan was so moved by the devotion she witnessed that she urged her husband, Illinois General John A. "Blackjack" Logan, to look into creating what was to become Memorial Day.
General Logan was a Senator from Illinois and eventually became a candidate for Vice President on the 1884 Republican ticket, losing to Grover Cleveland and another Illinoisan, Vice President Adlai Stevenson. But before all that Logan was instrumental in creating Decoration Day, the celebration of the nation's war dead that eventually became Memorial Day.
The following is the general order that Logan issued in 1868.
General Orders No.11, WASHINGTON, D.C., May 5, 1868
The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
Meet Lindsey Stone, The Disrespectful Gutter Snipe That Hates Our Soldiers

Meet Lindsey Stone. She's the chubby little scumbag, punk that posted on her Facebook account a photo showing her giving the finger to our troops and pretending to scream at a sign at Arlington National Cemetery that asked visitors to be respectfully quiet among the graves of our fallen heroes.
Lindsey Stone, self-professed "douchebag."
Of course, like all cowards of her stripe in the modern age, as soon as people started ripping her bloated rear-end, she scrubbed her Facebook account, but before she did she had a whiny little explanation of sorts to explain why she is such a skank.
Lindsey Stone, self-professed "douchebag," pretends she wasn't being disrespectful by giving the troops the finger.
Sorry you little turd. No one believes your back pedaling now. You know and we know that you were giving the finger to the millions that have died in service to our country.
You deserve this blowback, you little cretin.

Happy Veterans Day, 2012: Why OUR Veterans Are Different

If you are not redirected automatically, follow this link to the 2013 Veterans day message
America is a singularly different nation where it concerns our military veterans. We love them. We even have a national holiday to honor them. This is not so in most of the rest of the world. Elsewhere military veterans are not so loved as they are here.
Is that because the United States is the Sparta of the world, loving war more than anything else? Hardly. In fact its because our soldiers bring peace wherever they go, not perpetual war.
In other countries, soldiers are usually the dregs of society, living off the people while at the same time lording over them with machine guns and violence.
In other countries the military is feared by both the people and the government because all too often the army is used to take power and steal away the government for its own aggrandizement. There is no accident that the word "coup" is one rarely spoken in the USA unless when viewing foreign news.
So, not in America. In the USA we respect our soldiers because they respect us as much as they respect the law.
When an American sees a soldier an American will feel pride, not fear. When an American hears that a fellow is a veteran, an American thanks that fellow for his service.
In other countries when people see soldiers they fear them, they loathe them. In other countries they don't want to sit near soldiers on public transportation, they avoid eye contact. Here we shake their hand and ask if they need anything.
So, from us to you, our dear military veterans, we thank you. We thank you for putting your lives on hold while serving us, while making sure we are safe and able to go about our business unafraid of danger, and for putting your own safety at risk.
Happy Veterans Day to you all.

Invariably, it seems, when we do this we find that the member of the media in question isn't as non-partisan as they pretend to be in their work. Such is the case with Larry Shaughnessy, a producer at CNN's Washington bureau covering the Dept. of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
A look over Mr. Shaughnessy's recent Tweets reveals a man that hates Mitt Romney, hates former Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and loves him some Obama.
Worse, for a man whose job is to report on veterans, he also slammed famed military school, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), as just a bunch of kids "playing dress up." No respect at all for these young people, most of whom go on to serve our country.
Of VMI, Shaughnessy said, "VMI ain't a military instution [sic]. Its a school where the kids play dress up. They are no more required to serve than Yale grads"

Obama Crony Capitalism: Navy Buys 'Green' Fuel at 4 X Price

The Obama administration has announced its successful purchase of "green" biofules for the U.S. Navy at $15 per gallon. This success story is interesting for the fact that the Navy's regular fuel cost is just under $4 per gallon. Additionally, one of the companies involved in the sale employs a prominent member of Obama's 2008 transition team, one T.J Glauthier.
The company in question, Solazyme of California, has also been a happy beneficiary $21.8 million of Obama's "stimulus" spending.

Kirk/Kinzinger Highlight Dec. 3rd Deadline to Mail Holiday Packages to Troops Overseas

From the office of Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R, Illinois 11th District)…
USPS Deadline: December 3rd
CHICAGO – With the holidays upon us, U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.-11) today joined with student veterans at DePaul University to highlight the fast approaching U.S. Postal Service mailing deadline to send care packages to U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East.
"This is the season of giving, and we must not forget the brave service members who sacrifice so much for our freedom" Sen. Kirk said. "Every American should make a conscious effort to support them in anyway possible."
"Having served a few tours overseas, getting something in the mail from home – whether it was a letter or package – always reminded me that my family and friends back in the States were thinking of me," Rep. Kinzinger said. "Our courageous men and women forgo spending the holidays with their loved ones to answer the call of duty and put their life at risk for the sake of all Americans. We must be especially mindful to show our gratitude for their sacrifice during the holiday season. Their fortitude is the reason for our liberty."
Every Generation, A Salute to America's Veterans

A thank you to our veterans for the sacrifices they've made in the name of freedom featuring comments from Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, Don Stenberg, Dan Liljenquist, and Adam Hasner.
Freedom Works debuted this great video for Veteran's Day while we were in Denver this past weekend. It is now up at Youtube and, even though the holiday is past, I thought I'd feature the video today.
Happy Veterans Day and thanks again for your support of Cooking with the Troops
November 11, 2011 | Filed Under Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Military, National Guard, Navy, Veterans, Veterans Day, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
The idea for Cooking With the Troops grew out of a joint event between Bob Miller and C. Blake Powers. Bob Miller began doing barbecues at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 2005, and Blake Powers began doing food events as a result of his first embed in Iraq in 2007, working through the charity Soldiers' Angels. Bob suggested doing a joint event at Malogne House at Walter Reed, with Bob and his volunteers doing a barbecue and to be followed by a dessert bar afterwards.

America is a singularly different nation where it concerns our military veterans. We love them. We even have a national holiday to honor them. This is not so in most of the rest of the world. Elsewhere military veterans are not so loved as they are here.
Is that because the United States is the Sparta of the world, loving war more than anything else? Hardly. In fact its because our soldiers bring peace wherever they go, not perpetual war.
In other countries, soldiers are usually the dregs of society, living off the people while at the same time lording over them with machine guns and violence.

New Lenox: Reenlistment Ceremony of Luis Mejia, Officiated by Congressman Adam Kinzinger

Over the weekend I was invited to the reenlistment ceremony of Aviation Structural Mechanic, Third Class Petty Officer (AM3) Luis Mejia, a resident of New Lennox. Coming off eight years, Meija, 43, reenlisted for another six and for his ceremony he asked 11th District Congressman Adam Kinzinger to conduct his Monday ceremony.
Mejia served one year at Camp Bucca, Iraq in 2007 and as the congressman and he were talking they realized they served at the same time in the same place in Iraq. "We probably saw each other," Kinzinger said.
Currently, Mejia serves out of Great Lakes Naval base.
As Congressman Knizinger addressed the friends and family gathered to witness Meija's reenlistment he noted that this county has "been at war for a decade."

John Kerry's Swift Boat Supporter Has Silver Star Revoked

Remember all the hub bub of the Swift Boat story during the 2004 presidential run of Democrat John F'n Kerry? Well with all that in mind, you might vaguely recall a certain Captain Wade R. Sanders, Kerry's military colleague and heavy supporter of the would be president from Massachusetts. Well, in a very unusual move, this "hero" of Viet Nam has just had his Silver Star award revoked by the Navy.
Captain Sanders was the most outspoken member of Kerry's "band of brothers" coterie of veterans that came to his support during his run for the White House. Sanders even introduced Kerry at the Democrat Convention that put Kerry's name before the American people as a candidate for president. Sanders trained with Kerry at Naval Base Coronado when the pair were sent to Viet Nam as Navy Swift Boat officers…

Presenting The U.S. Military's New Fighter, the F-35 Lightning II

It has been a tough few decades for high-end military procurement, for sure. Promising projects, hardware, weapons systems, trains, planes, and automobiles — not to mention numerous boats — have been started, millions spent on them, only to be unceremoniously cancelled due to those pernicious political whirlwinds. Our nation has an aging military infrastructure and we are losing ground to other nations.
But one project looks to have weathered those whirlwinds. That would be the F-35 Lightening II fighter jet. And this one is a must for national security, too.
I was happy to have been invited to a presentation of the F-35 in Rockford, Illinois put on by Lockheed Martin. There I heard about the F-35 from its development team, I heard from two Illinois congressmen, and was fortunate enough to have had a chance to fly the cockpit simulator (very fun, by the way).
As it happens, Illinois supplies quite a few parts and computer systems for the F-35, so a demonstration in Illinois was a very apt locale.
The new F-35 is already undergoing flight tests at various bases across the country and the military is training pilots to fly them as we speak. I keep saying "the military" and not the Air Force for a specific reason. This is not just a Navy plane, nor is it solely an Air Force or a Marine fighter. In fact, one of the reasons this project has survived the budget cutter's axe is because it satisfies more than one role of a new fighter required by our military.

Obama's Contempt for Our Soldiers

Obama made what many are calling a mere "mistake" when he visited the 10th Mountain Division. His "mistake" came in when he said that a soldier that received the Medal of Honor was still alive.
Of course, the soldier in question, Sergeant First Class Jared Monti, was killed in Iraq in 2006 and did receive his Medal of Honor posthumously.
Here is what the president said:
"First time I saw 10th Mountain Division, you guys were in southern Iraq. When I went back to visit Afghanistan, you guys were the first ones there. I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn't receiving it posthumously."
Now, why do I say that this shows Obama's contempt for the military? Because no one should make such a "mistake" as this. Obama and his team miserably failed to get the facts on this most important of facts.

Kinzinger Reaction to the President's Remarks Regarding Troop Withdrawal in Afghanistan

From the Office of Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R, IL)…
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Adam Kinzinger (IL-11), a pilot in the Air National Guard, issued the following statement on the President's announced plans in Afghanistan:
"Last month during my trip to Afghanistan, I spoke with generals on the ground who believe we are winning and have turned the corner. The wrong thing to do at this stage would be to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, which will happen if the number of troops withdrawn exceeds the recommendations of our generals. Decisions regarding troop withdrawals must be determined by conditions on the ground, not political timelines.
"Stability in Afghanistan remains a top priority in the interest of our national security. History will judge us by the decisions we made to ensure the safety of our men and women overseas and of our country during this critical time. Our mission must be about the long-term safety of our nation, not the next election – this is something we cannot lose sight of."
Obama: Who Needs Victory When We Can Negotiate With The TahleeBahn?

President Barack Obama came before the American people tonight to unleash his latest campaign speech disguised as a foreign policy address. It was a presentation that even Politico calls "boring and predictable, balanced to please critics," and one that "did not change the debate about the war." But, one thing does seem like news. Obama never used the word victory and he also said we'd negotiate with the Taliban – an enemy he annoyingly insists on calling the Tahleebahn.
One singular theme emerged from this speech. Apparently, to President Obama, "victory" does not mean a win, but it only means a settling with negotiations with our enemies. Very Chamberlainesque, isn't it?
But there were quite a few odd statements made by the president tonight. One was his claim that Usamma bin Laden was the "only leader al Qaeda has ever known." This is absurd. There have been dozens of al Qaeda leaders and we killed many of them long before we finally got to bin Laden.

From my reading of the news, it appears that two young men were recently killed in Ferguson Missouri.
The first was a "shy, quiet homebody" who was shot in the back, unprovoked, when walking on a quiet street.
The second was a hulking mass, who first accosted a store clerk, stole cigarillos, jay walked, assaulted a police officer and was shot 6 times in the front when charging the officer.

Chris Brown has taken his beef with Drake out of the nightclub and put it where it belongs ... on record ... by dropping a new verse that rips his hip-hop adversary.
The new song -- a remix track called "Game Don't Like" -- was released today on djorator.com. CB has a verse on the song, which mentions "throwin' bottles" but then takes a shot at Drake. Brown raps:
One on one, what you scared bruh?
Huh, matter of fact, "Take Care" bruh.
You're a pu**y ni**a.
"Take Care," for the uninitiated, is the name of Drake's most recent album.
Drake ... your move.
Why do blacks use the n word NON STOP, in every song, in every diss, in every sentence, in every day talk with friends, to describe white people, etc. They make sure that word wil never go away. But then they say that word is wrong to use and say only racists use it. Just don't get it. Hey sharpton and Jackson, I dare you to make a stand and go after black artists who use that word. I know you won't, because you only have a hatred for white people. So sad.
Chris brown stupid !!! All his Songs sound the same and he freakin beats girls ! So whatever I'm out i said what I had to say !
Both of your behavior is unspeakable. You may have ended all access to certain things in clubs to the common man. Both of you put together are two 100% sugar shoes. And fighting over pauzze??? Shame when you should be fighting over things that truly matter.
Everything that this guy does is really really stupid, I can not stand him, even his face makes me sick.
Miss.Chris Brown, you really need to knock it off!
I wish they would both talk like that about someone that would actually kick their dumb asses.
lol, making millions singing stupid songs is sirius bizness.
is it just me or do most rappers seem like 4 year old children
There you go chris make money off a war were there were innocent casulties you are a class act.
A couple of great guys here.
These two *****s need to just drop the dumb**** and sleep together...."c'mon guys...make love not war"
These two mudsharks should be shining shoes a OHara airport
Who the hell cares about these RAP CRAPS????
This is the reason why I like the "old school" rap better than this kind of crap I hear today. Rap these days hinders maturity and education with all this hate, violent with a mix of being a potty mouth kind of nonsense in today's rap music (if it still considered REAL music).
