Sunday was a lovely, sunny, crisp fall day in Madison . The autumn
foliage is about peak, some trees still turning, some at peak and some just
past. I took this shot of our condo. I love fall--but not what comes next! ~Bob

Good 30-second ad. There's nothing wrong with negative

Supreme Court clears
the way for Texas
Excerpt: The Supreme Court allowed
Texas to
enforce its strict voter identification laws in the upcoming midterms early
Saturday morning. The decision, which came at 5 a.m., was unsigned and
contained no reasoning. ... All three female Justices, Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, publicly dissented from the
decision.
Excerpt: Consider some of the pillars of civic duty –
voting, jury duty, registering for Selective Service, participating in the
Census, challenging a property tax assessment. All of these carry burdens on us
to leave our homes, bring our stuff, travel to government offices, and spend
time filling out documents. (If 600,000 Texans can't get Photo IDs, they can't buy
guns or booze. They can't fly, drive, cash checks, buy Obamacare, get food
stamps or welfare, or get into the Democrat National Convention--or the rally
the NAACP held in the South to oppose Voter ID! Why isn't all that racial
discrimination? --Bob)

Obama’s going through a presidential phase that won’t last
past mid-November. By Christine
O’Donnell
Excerpt: This week, President Obama decided
to cancel campaign appearances on
both Wednesday and Thursday so that he could huddle in
the House and monitor the emerging Ebola crisis. In other words, the
president has finally decided to act presidential and, surprise, surprise, it’s
right before next month’s mid-term elections
New York Times
Blockbuster Report – Bush Didn’t Lie, WMD’s Found All Over Iraq
Excerpt: It boggles the mind at how openly fickle,
irresponsible and biased our American media can be. A recent study undertaken
by a citizen journalist proved that the New York Times is an echo chamber… yet
even this echo chamber can produce honest journalism from time to time. An
example of that is their recent report on the discovery of caches of Weapons of
Mass Destruction (WMD’s) by American troops across Iraq in the years after we
initiated...
Accountability for VA
executives proving elusive. By Pete Hegseth
Excerpt: Just six months ago, Americans were outraged by
revelations of a widespread patient scheduling scandal in U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs facilities across the nation — a shameful story of secret wait lists, calculated executive greed and veterans dying while awaiting care from a
dysfunctional bureaucracy. That scandal set the stage for the Veterans Access,
Choice and Accountability Act, a serious set of reforms passed by Congress this
summer and signed into law by the president. Along with the appointment of a
new VA secretary, it appeared the VA was on a positive path toward change. But
now that the initial furor has subsided, the question remains: Is the VA really
reforming itself? For veterans, their families and their advocates, there’s
reason to be very wary of the department’s promises. (The levels of protection
that senior government employees have in various ways, including changing jobs
to alternate agencies when things go sour at one for them, and the
near-impossibility of really holding people responsible for incompetence or
actual corruption, are an affront to every taxpayer. And what's gone on at some
VA hospitals is triply offensive to vets. Congress seemed to start on a road to
doing something at long last, but now we still have to wonder if it will really
go anywhere. --Del. I have found the care-providers in Madison to be superb and the administration here
listens to vets--not that, like any large organization, there are not glitches.
The problem was the administrators in certain facilities. The system meant that
they could get more money by lying. If you create perverse incentives, you get
perverse results. And Harry Reid has blocked a bi-partisan House-passed bill
that would let the VA fire incompetent employees. Remember in November when you
vote for Senator. ~Bob)
The Nine Words Army Veteran Said to Knife-Wielding Thug Who
Threatened Him and His Girlfriend — He Really Should’ve Listened. By Jason Howerton
Excerpt: Firstly, his would-be “victim,” William Lawler, 38,
is an Army veteran who retired as a lieutenant after serving for over a decade.
That’s strike one. Secondly, he’s a longtime firearms instructor with a license
to carry a concealed 9mm Glock. That’s strike two. However, the failed robber
was the one who struck himself out by refusing to listen to the “half-dozen”
warnings the veteran gave him. Lawler also immediately drew his firearm as soon
as the man started cursing at him and his girlfriend, and that didn’t deter him
either. (The vet is a nice guy. I'd have put two in his chest, then one in the
head if possible. ~Bob)
Excerpt: Documents obtained

FBI Bogus Reporting
on Mass Murders
Excerpt: As America
slides further and further left, the FBI is now giving liberals statistics to
bolster their demands for gun controls, and overturning the Second Amendment.
How positively Orwellian.
In Colorado
Excerpt: One of the wonders of this political moment is
feminist contentment about the infantilization of women in the name of
progressive politics. Government, encouraging academic administrations to
micromanage campus sexual interactions, now assumes that, absent a script,
women cannot cope. And the Democrats’ trope about the Republicans’ “war on women” clearly assumes that women are
civic illiterates.
Boeing Presents . . .
The Ray Gun
From forwarded email: This equipment was recently tested on
the east coast under rainy and foggy conditions. It killed sixty out of sixty
drones and rockets in flight. This is cool / scary / awesome / and, I'm glad
it's ours!! From Del :
Wow, this is really, really neat! I don't know what it costs, and it probably
isn't super cheap, but this level of performance from a truck mounted unit is
just impressive as hell. I figure the Israelis will be on this like white on
rice, it's a perfect tool for knocking down all the incoming rockets from Gaza when those idiots
start up again. And since it can take down incoming mortar shells, that's
pretty great as well. They didn't mention artillery shells, but maybe they are
still too fast to track and blow in time. I can see a couple of these units on
every Navy ship too
Dan Rather’s Revenge
and the Battle
Excerpt: Robert Redford will play Dan Rather in a film about the former CBS anchor’s disputed report
about President George W. Bush’s National Guard service.
The film, titled Truth, will be adapted from the
memoir Truth And Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of
Power by former CBS producer Mary Mapes, said the production company,
Mythology Entertainment. Cate Blanchett is signed on to play Mapes. ... If you
followed the 2004 presidential campaign, you probably recall the
“disputed” 60 Minutes report claiming that George W. Bush shirked his
duties and failed to follow orders as a young Texas Air National Guard officer.
The segment was discredited when the “military memos” on which it was based
were exposed online as forgeries. CBS News received a
well-deserved black eye, and long-time anchor Dan Rather, producer Mary Mapes
and several others lost their jobs. This is an excellent article, exposing the
incredible duplicity and arrogant bias of two news people in particular and the
whole system behind them, including the Hollywood
uber-Liberal establishment. They actually want to present the actions of Rather
and his editor, which amounted to and were clearly exposed as total trash
"advocacy journalism", as the good guys speaking truth to power. Who
then, it seems, were crushed by some Far Right cabal, the kind of people who
are immoral rats quashing the righteous. There are days when I really, really
feel like we've all fallen through the Looking Glass and the big White Rabbit
is bouncing past us while we can hear in the background the Queen crying
"Off with their Heads!". The craziness where Black will become White,
Right will become Wrong, and the Lie becomes the Truth seems to be going on all
around us, with academia and the media riding the wave with broad smiles on
their faces. Will we ever see common sense, devotion to the simple truth, and
appreciation of our real role in history, return to the nation? Good Lord, I
hope so, and pray for it nightly. --Del. Hollywood keeps making liberal movies,
and no one sees them except the True Believers of the Progressive Church
A bit more about Mr.
Turse
Author of "Kill Anything That Moves", the super
hatchet piece on Vietnam
vets, this guy has been around for a while. All the antiwar people love him to
pieces and his book made the best-seller list (God help us!) and profs use it
in courses, but people should know where he's coming from. And of course they
should check out the total trashing of his book by some real researchers (one a
vet, the other a CA professor) https://cross-currents.berkeley.edu/e-journal/issue-12/zinoman-and-kulik.
Where do these people come from? Answer: at least partially from the segment of
academia that despises the very society that provides them with a privileged,
affluent lifestyle. Strange, isn't it? Se below. --Del

Excerpt: In a truly bizarre article about the massacre at Columbine High School
Ezra Klein totally whiffed on affirmative consent:
"Yes means yes" laws go way overboard in assessing the scope of
colleges' sexual assault problems and in punishing suspected offenders.
By Shikha Dalmia
Excerpt: Liberal backers of feminists seem to be trading
their long-cherished principle that the "ends don't justify the
means" for the battle cry of "by any means necessary." How else
to interpret the unabashed
support that Ezra Klein, one of the country's smartest and most
influential young liberals, recently extended to affirmative consent (or
"yes means yes") laws that are proliferating across American campuses
to deal with an alleged rape epidemic?
To his credit, Klein unflinchingly and rightly acknowledges
that California's law constitutes a draconian assault on the due process rights
of men whom it would regard as guilty until proven otherwise, vastly increasing
the prospects of false convictions.

A State Licensing
Board Used Government Power for Self-Serving Private Gain? Justice Scalia Can’t
Believe It. By Damon Root
Excerpt: The U.S. Supreme Court grappled with those
questions on Tuesday when it heard oral
argument in North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners v. Federal
Trade Commission, a case arising from that board's efforts to prevent
non-dentists from offering teeth-whitening services. Because six of the board's
eight members are licensed practicing dentists with a direct financial stake in
restricting entry to the teeth-whitening market, a lower court deemed the
board's anticompetitive conduct to be illegal under federal law. ... Scalia
should give the matter more thought. Better yet, he should devote careful
attention to a friend
of the court brief submitted in this case on behalf of 45 leading
economists who urge the Supreme Court to take seriously the threat posed by
occupational licensing abuse. "In the real world," the brief details,
"occupational licensing boards routinely use government power to promote
the private financial interests of their own members and licensees, rather than
to promote any legitimate government interests."

Ebola guidance for
healthcare workers from the GA. Department of Health
Excerpt: Judicial Watch has learned that the Obama
administration is actively formulating plans to admit Ebola-infected non-U.S.
citizens into the United
States for treatment. Specifically, the
goal of the administration is to bring Ebola patients into the United States for
treatment within the first days of diagnosis.... The source is concerned that
the proposal is illegal; endangers the public health and welfare; and should
require the approval of Congress.
Excerpt: What a shock: faced with a crisis that could
demolish the Democrats in the coming midterm elections and permanently cripple
his post-election plans to continue “fundamental transformation,” President
Obama has done the only thing he knows how to do — seek a political
solution to get him past Nov. 4, in the hopes that he can fool the American
public one last time. The announcement of Ron Klain as the new Ebola “czar” checks all the
boxes: Harvard Law, longtime Democrat party op, veteran of the Clinton, Al Gore
and John Kerry campaigns. .... The reality is that we have a nation of
unscrupulous lawyers, amoral apparatchiks and political hacks whose only area
of expertise is manipulating the electoral and governmental systems and getting
rich by doing so.
Excerpt: Marine Corps General John F. Kelly talked about
Ebola at the National Defense University two
weeks ago and mused about what would happen if Ebola reached Haiti or Central America, which have
relatively easy access to America .
“If it breaks out, it’s literally ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass
migration into the United
States ,” Kelly said. “They will run away
from Ebola, or if they suspect they are infected, they will try to get to
the United States for
treatment.” (Kelly is a solid guy. Lost a son in Afghanistan , leading Marines. ~Bob)
Excerpt: Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), one of the doctors serving
in Congress, called Obama’s pick an “unserious gesture at an incredibly serious
moment.” “That the president chose a political operative rather than a
healthcare expert to head up his administration’s response to an outbreak of a
deadly disease says a lot – and nothing positive – about the White House’s line
of thinking,” Price said. “The American people are losing what little, if any,
confidence they had left in President Obama’s ability to tackle the myriad
challenges facing our nation.” (I've met Price, orthopaedic surgeon and solid
guy. Wish he was the GOP Senate nominee in GA. ~Bob)
Is That Obama’s
Unqualified Ebola Czar in a Holiday Inn Express Commercial?

http://godfatherpolitics.com/17812/obamas-unqualified-ebola-czar-holiday-inn-express-commercial/
Excerpt: Talk about prophetic, here’s an actual Holiday Inn
Express commercial about the Ebola Virus. Is that Rob Klain in the Hazmat
suit?:
Excerpt: A doctor claims that he developed a successful drug
to combat Ebola with the U.S. Army at Ft. Detrick Maryland but that the
research was inexplicably shut down two weeks before the first outbreak of
the virus in West
Africa. Richard C. Davis, M.D., a former flight surgeon with the U.S. Navy,
told Infowars that he was leading a project to develop a drug called
RC-2Beta, which according to Davis
works, “at the core of our cells to enhance mitochondrial efficiency
and promote gene signaling to stimulate cellular self-repair and pathogen
destruction.” (This site is one of those "we expose the TRUTH!" ones,
but this article definitely got my attention. If there's any truth in this, a
whole lot of questions arise. And unless this doctor is a real charlatan and
the data are fictional, it does seem people should be looking into this. --Del )

Excerpt: Dr Jahrling explained that his team, who are

the viral loads in Ebola patients are much higher than they are used to seeing.
He told Vox.com: 'We are using tests now that weren't using in the
past, but there seems to be a belief that the virus load is higher in these
patients [today] than what we have seen before. If true, that's a very
different bug."
Six Reasons to Panic.
By Jonathon Last
Excerpt: As a rule, one should not panic at whatever crisis
has momentarily fixed the attention of cable news producers. But the Ebola
outbreak in West Africa, which has migrated to both Europe and America , may be
the exception that proves the rule. There are at least six reasons that a
controlled, informed panic might be in order. (Epidemeology is actually a
mathematical equation and the numbers are not comforting. --Tom C.)

Interesting: Darren Wilson Provides First Public
Account to Federal Investigators of What Happened in Ferguson
Excerpt: The officer, Darren Wilson, has told the
authorities that during the scuffle, Mr. Brown reached for the gun. It was
fired twice in the car, according to forensics tests performed by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The first bullet struck Mr. Brown in the arm; the
second bullet missed. The forensics tests showed Mr. Brown’s blood on the gun,
as well as on the interior door panel and on Officer Wilson’s uniform. Officer
Wilson told the authorities that Mr. Brown had punched and scratched him repeatedly,
leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck.
Interesting: Authorities say Michael Brown’s blood
found on gun, inside police car
Excerpt: The evidence will make it harder for the Justice
Department to prosecute Wilson
on federal charges that he violated Brown’s civil rights, said the officials,
who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
Such evidence would also make it difficult for a county grand jury to indict Wilson on state charges,
such as murder or manslaughter, said county sources who also are prohibited
from talking on the record about the pending case. (They are not interested in
evidence. They are interested in a politically correct outcome that appeals to
the base. ~Bob)
Black Pastors Should
Promote Marriage Rather Than Fight ‘Equality.’ Sharon Brooks Hodge
Excerpt: After decades of declining marriage rates and
changes in family structure, the percentage of American adults who have never
been married is at an historic high. According to Wendy Wang and Kim Parker,
who authored the research report, the move away from marriage is attributed to
a variety of factors. Not only are people marrying later in life, but more
significant is the fact that increasingly young adults are cohabiting and
raising children outside of marriage.
That is a critical observation. Currently, 72 percent of
black children are being born into single-parent homes, which means that most
black churches are filled with baby-mommas and baby-daddies, not husbands and
wives raising children under the covenant of marriage as scripture prescribes.
... Sharon Brooks Hodge is executive director of Black Family Preservation
Group, Inc., a national organization that promotes marriage and 2-parent homes
as the best environment for raising children.

Excerpt: The Colorado Division of Insurance announced Friday

commissioner Marguerite Salazar said that more than 22,000 Coloradans received

The U.S. Strategy to Defeat ISIS :
A briefing by Max Boot
Excerpt: President Obama has not offered a cohesive strategy
for fighting ISIS . Since 2010, his
determination to disengage from Iraq
and Syria was evident in his
refusal to assist the Free Syrian Army and keep U.S.
forces in Iraq
beyond 2011. He has partially reversed his stance following the August 2014
beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, but this is
too little too late. ... Max Boot, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in

Maher: Pakistan
punishes blasphemy with death, but I’m wrong on Islam? By Robert Spencer,

Excerpt: His guests, David Miliband and some other clown,

him that this is a Pakistani problem. They do not, however, address Maher’s
point, that this blasphemy death sentence was just affirmed by a high court in Pakistan . His
implication was that the court is made up entirely of Muslims, and they are
officials of an Islamic Republic; is it really likely that they are finding a
death penalty for blasphemy in Islamic law when there is none there?

Syria unless Damascus immediately
stopped harboring Abdullah Ocalan, leader of the violent Kurdish separatist

cooperation with the U.S. ,
finally captured their public enemy No. #1 in Kenya , brought him to court and
sentenced him to life. In a war-torn region, a war had been averted. A decade
