Andrew Breitbart

“Los Angeles (CNN) -- Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger whose posting of a sexually explicit photo of former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner led to the congressman's downfall, died of heart failure, the Los Angeles County Coroner said in an autopsy report released Friday.

Breitbart, 43, died on March 1. The final cause of death was listed as heart failure, which was caused by Breitbart having an enlarged heart and some heart disease, said Chief Coroner Craig Harvey.

Breitbart had a small amount of alcohol in his system, but no prescription or illicit drugs were detected. No significant trauma was present and foul play is not suspected. A full report is expected to be available within two weeks…”

 

  Well I guess I was wrong… Unless they are not giving all the information… I expected for them to find a lot of drugs in him.

  Of course I guess the Republicans were wrong.. Because there is no sign that President Obama had him murdered.

Ousted Secret Service supervisors

  If I was in charge of the Secret Service or any department like that I would come down hard on employees that did what the SS employees are reported to have done.

But the news media is now reporting the names of the two Secret Service supervisors that lost their jobs.
Why is it necessary for the new media to name them?  None of us know those names.  We have not met them or seen them.

Now do not get me wrong.. It is not so much that I care about their feelings but I bet they all have a wife, children and mothers and fathers.  Why name them?

  By the way… All of the people that leave the SS will get good paying jobs in private security.  Corporations will hire them to be their directors of security.
  I worked in a number of organizations that would hire in someone that was an ex FBI agent or something like that and put the person in charge of security.  They looked good on paper but in real life did not know their ass from a hole in the ground.

  But I feel sorry for their families.  They will have to move and the children change schools etc.

  I do not think it is right to name them.  But the news media has not filter. 
Any information they get they put it out.

Task force to consider ‘Stand Your Ground’ law

“(CNN) -- Florida authorities have picked 17 people to tackle a heated question brought on by the killing of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin: whether the state's "stand your ground law" should be changed.

The task force, whose membership was announced Thursday, will hear impassioned arguments and testimony from residents at public meetings across the state. Its first meeting is set for May 1 in Tallahassee.

"We're not walking into this with any preconceived notions," Gov. Rick Scott said at a news conference. If there are "logical changes to be made," he said, the task force "will provide those."

It will pass along recommendations to the governor and the Legislature.

The group will review Florida Statute Chapter 776, which deals with justifiable use of force, including the stand your ground provision…”

 

  Let me see the head of the task force is a life member of the NRA.  Another member of the task force is the author of the “Stand Your Ground” law.  I am sure he is a life member of the NRA.
  They are going to hold meetings all over FL.  The NRA and the pro gun people will pack those meetings with pro gun people.  The NRA also has tons of money to spend.
 

 

“…There are no representatives from the National Rifle Association on the task force, Carroll said in response to a question. But the task force will hear from people on various sides of the issue at public events throughout the state…”

 

  Did she forget that she is a life member of the NRA?   Also I bet you anything that the author of the law is a life member of the “Stand Your Ground” law.
  I just did a search.  The author law is Dennis Baxley.  He received the “Defender of Freedom Award” in 2004 from the National Rifle Association. 
  Yes Baxley is an NRA member. 
  See “The Money Trail Behind Florida’s Notorious Gun Law”

  Even if the task force said to do away with the law, and that will not happen, they just hand over there recommendations to the Gov. Rick Scott.

Here is a video paid for by the NRA and on their site asking people to vote for Rick Scott for Governor.

  So do not look for any changes to the “Stand Your Ground” law.  In fact I fully expect to see the state of FL pass other laws just like it. 

Florida governor to name gun law task force

“(CNN) -- Florida's governor will announce Thursday morning who will be part of a task force that will look at the state's gun laws in the aftermath of the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

In March, as outrage was growing about the shooting, Gov. Rick Scott said that Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll would lead the task force but he would also take time to choose some of the other members…”

 

  Well so the person that heads the task force is Jennifer Carroll.  She is a “Life Member” of the NRA.  She is also black and a life member of the NAACP.
  I wonder which is going to have more effect on this task force her race or her NRA membership.  I think her NRA membership.
  Her bio on the state site as Lt. Gov. does not list her life membership in the NRA.  It is her old bio when she was a FL legislator.
  Her bio on the state site as Lt. Gov looks very impressive. 

  But the main point right now is that the NRA is the organization that got the “Stand Your Ground” law and other pro gun laws passed in FL. 
  The governor has set up a task force to look into the laws and so far one person has been picked.  Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll a life member of the NRA.
  How many other NRA members do you think will be on the task force?

Threatening the President of the United States

“From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Threatening the President of the United States is a class D felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States". The United States Secret Service investigates suspected violations of this law and monitors those who have a history of threatening the President. Because the offense consists of pure speech, the courts have issued rulings attempting to balance the government's interest in protecting the President with free speech rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. According to Stalking, Threatening, and Attacking Public Figures, "Hundreds of celebrity howlers threaten the President of the United States every year, sometimes because they disagree with his policies, but more often just because he is the President." The United States Attorneys' Manual states that the Terrorism and Violent Crime Section has supervisory authority over Section 871 cases…”

On March 2, 2012, Nugent endorsed Mitt Romney for president.

In a Romney stump speech at the 2012 NRA Convention in St. Louis, Nugent said, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year." He also compared the Obama administration to coyotes who needed to be shot, and encouraged voters to "chop [Democrats'] heads off in November."

Ted Nugent says Secret Service will interview him on Thursday

 

  Ted Nugent told radio talk show host Mike Huckabee:

"I mean, I'm a non-violent guy, I don't threaten. I wouldn't waste my time threatening, I've never threatened anyone's life in my life. I will not threaten anyone's life. I certainly wouldn't threaten the life of the president, or anybody in public office, or anybody anywhere."

 

“…Nugent confirmed that he was contacted by the Secret Service, who are investigating his comments during the NRA convention that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if President Barack Obama is re-elected. Nugent, who has a history of inflammatory comments, said the Secret Service was just doing their job in investigating what he called the "preposterous, outrageous, deceitful dishonest claim that I threatened anyone's life."

"I respect their duty to do so," he said. "The rules of engagement for the Secret Service is to respond even when someone as maniacal as a Wasserman Schultz or Pelosi or Boxer or Feinstein" complains.

"They want to shut me up, and it ain't going to happen," Nugent said.”

County officials critical of storm chasers on roads

  The following is a reprint from the Salina Journal (Kansas).  I think it is important to get this information out and for people to start thinking about this issue.
  It is just going to get worst. 
  I am not sure what the answer is to the problem of the storm chasers.
 

  Some of them need to be out on the roads.  The NWS people.  Sky/Warn people.
None of them have the right to speed.  They should be ticketed for speeding.
If they are speeding and failing to pull over for police, fire and EMS then they should be arrested and when they go to court the judge should have the ability to take their cars and their equipment (radios, cameras, computers).
  You know my feelings about the news media… If they are news media people the police should have the right to just force them off the road and shoot them in heads and leave them along the road as road kill.
  If I was the driver of a fire truck and they refused to pull over I would be tempted to give them a little bump and move them off the road. 

 

 

“4/16/2012

By TIM UNRUH

Salina Journal

Chancy Smith likes footage and photos of tornadoes and other weather disasters, but the pursuit of them Saturday night left him frazzled.

A high probably for tornadoes in north-central Kansas brought a convoy of storm chasers to the area.

During some perilous moments, Smith, director of Dickinson County Emergency Management, said the chasers got in the way of protecting the public.

"It was like a funeral procession, bumper to bumper," he said. "It was horrible."

Motoring down gravel roads north of Solomon while a tornado was bearing down on farmsteads, Smith said there were small "beater cars" with license tags from out of county and other states, that would not yield to emergency vehicles.

"We were going on Solomon Road with lights and sirens, and they wouldn't get over," he said. "Some were driving 60 or 70 mph, looking for videos or photos, and they didn't even notice us."

Some were locals out to gawk at the storm, Smith said, but most of the traffic snarl from an estimated 350 vehicles, was thanks to storm chasers.

"Some of them help communities by calling in, but they don't help us," he said.

Near a natural gas compressor station that was damaged by a tornado on Kansas Highway 18 in Ottawa County, the chasers put themselves in possible danger where power poles were snapped.

"Those morons were driving over power lines," Smith said. "I was worried that we would have to do rescues."

He was racing to a house that was reportedly destroyed at K-18 and Solomon Road but was delayed by chasers taking their half out of the middle of the road.

"We were trying to get there to render assistance," Smith said. "Some of those cars got stuck in the mud."

Once he arrived and learned the report was unfounded, he said storm chasers pulled onto private property and tore up muddy driveways.

Exuberance of some may have heightened because some storms hit during daylight hours.

"It was a photogenic tornado," Smith said. "People saw it and felt safe. They were just utterly idiotic."

Others who worked the weekend storms understand Smith's frustrations.

Keith Haberer doesn't point to many issues with storm chasers since joining the storm spotting business in 1997, but the director of emergency management in Russell and Ellsworth counties can relate to Smith's experiences.

"They do tend to clog up roads and highways, especially when emergency crews are trying to get through," Haberer said. "On the other hand, they are sometimes the first to spot tornadoes and help us get warnings out sooner."

Storm chasers provide a lot of valuable information, said Suzanne Fortin, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service Wichita office. But she acknowledged a down side Sunday while surveying storm damage.

"(Storm chasers) do help us with reports, but they also can be problematic with emergency management," Fortin said. "Some of them aren't aware that they can be more of a hindrance than a help."

One way to force storm chasers to behave might be to ticket them, Smith, but they usually are noticed when emergency workers have higher priorities.

"I think they just know we don't have time to deal with them," he said. "We couldn't have a response Saturday with that many of them on the road. It was just crazy."

99.98% of Priests are Innocent

  God help us…The Catholic Church has no shame.

“Lies, damned lies, and statistics.” 

  You have heard me talk about the God dammed American Catholic Bishops I am sure. They all are going to burn in hell for their sins.

  Well they are not spending all of their time fronting for the Republican Party they also are doing other things. 
  They released a report and I guess it was the 2011 Annual Report on sexual abuse report.

  The Catholic League says that the report should say “Abuse Problem Near Zero Among Priests.” 

  You know the saying that statistics lie and that you can take statistics and make them say anything that you want them to say…  Well the Catholic Church seems to know how to pray play the numbers. 

  You would not believe the way they pray play the numbers. 
  There report says that were 23  credible  accusations of sexual abuse made against priest last year.  Then they say well the police deemed 9 of them credible.  
  Then they take those numbers and say well it was mostly males so women are safe. 
Then, and my God I can not believe this, they say well of those they were “not kids” and they are “post pubescent” males!!! 
  Yes, they are saying that it is not “kids” or children that these are boys that are in their early teens!  Then they flat come out and say:

  “…we are talking about postpubescent males who were allegedly violated by adult males. That’s called homosexuality…”

 

  They are saying that they were teens and “allegedly” violated by priests but they were homosexual.  So they are saying the boys were gay and wanted to have sex with the priest.
  Hell they make it sound like there is no sexual abuse problem in the Catholic Church and the only problem is a few gay 13 year old boys that want to have sex with a priest. 

 
  The Catholic League says on their web site:

“Since more than 10% of the credible allegations were found to be false or unsubstantiated, it makes one wonder how many of the total number of accusations are bogus. The bishops should commission a study of those priests whose reputations have been ruined by cash-hungry liars and their rapacious lawyers; the looters should also be studied. The Catholic League would be happy to make a generous donation.”

Zimmerman Arraignment Hearing

  I was just watching the George Zimmerman arraignment hearing on CNN. 
  I was shocked to see the state special prosecutor Angela Corey appear at the hearing.  She was not needed and it appears that she was there because their was going to be cameras there.
  She is even a bigger publicity whore than I dreamed.  
  
  Her work was done and the hearing was just something that needed to be got out of the way.  But Angela Corey wanted to make sure she got her face and name on the news.  She placed herself so that she would be on camera.  She appeared to look around to see where the camera was located and then she stood in the background.

  I feel sorry, now, for George Zimmerman and I fear he can not get justice in the legal system.
It is clear that Angela Corey and lots of other people are going to milk this for everything THEY can get out of it.

  CNN is showing OVER AND OVER AND OVER again the few seconds that George Zimmerman stood in the court room.  They might as well put it on a loop and take the rest of the day off.  The CNN “news” people could just go home and spend some time with their families.  Something that George Zimmerman can not do at this time.
