Update
Due to a time slam, I still have 50 unread emails, but there's
a lot of vital news today. Between my 35-hour-a-week health regimen, a meeting
of our condo association (I'm secretary and had to do the minutes afterwards),
a meeting of the VA Hospital's Veterans Advisory Board, to which I have been
appointed, the blog/email flood, catching up the family finances, company and
some personal stuff, time went.
General News and Comment
When you go to vote,
reach for your wallet. When they hastily say, "We don't need an ID,"
reply, "Oh, this isn't for you--I wrote down the name I'm using today and
I think I put it in my wallet." ~Bob
Excerpt: Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill once said, “All
politics is local.” That may have been true in Tip O'Neill’s day, but some
elections are decisively on national issues – and the Congressional elections
this year are overwhelmingly national, just as the elections of 1860 were
dominated by one national issue, namely slavery. In 1860, some abolitionists
split the anti-slavery vote by running their own candidate – who had no chance
of winning – instead of supporting Abraham Lincoln, who was not pure enough for
some abolitionists. Lincoln
got just 40 percent of the vote, though that turned out to be enough to win in
a crowded field.
Obama's Plan To
Continue His 'Transformation.' BHO is fundraising to assure approval of
lifetime judicial appointments. Thomas Sowell
Excerpt: With all the cross-currents of political
controversies raging today, what is the overriding national issue that makes
this year’s congressional elections so crucial? That issue is whether, despite
all the lawless edicts of President Obama, threatening one-man rule, we can still
salvage enough of the Constitution to remain a free, democratic nation. Barack
Obama will be on his way out in two years, but if he can appoint enough federal
judges who share his contempt for the Constitution’s limits on federal
government power in general, and presidential powers in particular, then the
United States of America can continue on the path to becoming another banana
republic, even after Obama has left the White House.
Interesting: From ISIS

Hillary Clinton:
Putin Must Be Kept Contained
Excerpt: Asked how she perceived the Russian leader, Mrs.
Clinton said: “Well, I see a very cold-blooded, calculating former KGB agent
who is determined to not only enrich himself and his closest colleagues, but
also to try to revive Russia ’s
influence around its border.” The line echoes one used by Sen. John McCain (R.,
Ariz.) who while running for president in the 2008 election said he looked
into Mr. Putin’s eyes and saw “three letters: A K, a G, and a B.” Should Mrs.
Clinton run for president in 2016, opponents are likely to call attention to
the moment in 2009 when Mrs. Clinton and her Russian counterpart pushed a mock
“reset” button to symbolize a new era of good will.

Comes the Marines, Ooh Baby. By Andy Weddington
Excerpt:
Though a stupid idea clearly it's a done deal - while steadily being
cleverly implemented under the ruse of gender-norming strenuous physical
duties; carefully controlled "field" (lab) conditions;
selective and skewed measuring methods; selective data gathering; creative
"analysis"; and downright false reporting.
The Information CBS
Reporter Says the White House Won’t Release Because It ‘Might Be Embarrassing

Excerpt: CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller
criticized the White House late last week for refusing to release documents
revealing how much President Barack Obama’s fundraising trips cost the
taxpayer.
In Attempt To
Disprove Story Showing He Fabricated Military Record, Gary Peters Gives
Documents To Daily Beast Proving He Lied
Excerpt: Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Rep. Gary
Peters (D-MI) accidentally proved to the Daily Beast he lied on his
campaign website and on the campaign trail about his military record
as part of an effort to disprove a Breitbart News investigation—and the Daily Beast’s Tim
Mak fell hook, line and sinker for the Peters’ campaign’s
spin despite being provided with evidence by Peters that Peters lied.
It’s All about the
Party. A vote for just about any Democrat is a vote for leftism. By Dennis
Prager
Excerpt: There is a noble-sounding attitude that many
Americans hold regarding whom they vote for. “I vote for the candidate,” they
say. It sure sounds good. Voting for the best candidate, rather than the party,
sounds as American as apple pie. But as the Democratic party has become a
doctrinaire left-wing party, this sentiment is no longer noble. It is actually
foolish and dangerous. There was a time when there were terrific Democrats whom
an independent and even a Republican could vote for. (I have voted for
Democrats, but I now vote straight Republican, because the Republicans are
ruining the country--but at a slower rate than the Democrats. ~Bob)
Excerpt: Too bad the study is remarkably shoddy — slicing
the evidence to distort the results. In fact, mass public shootings have only
risen ever so slightly over the last four decades. While the FBI study
discusses “mass shootings or killings,” its graphs were filled with cases that
had nothing to do with mass killings. Of the 160 cases it counted, 32 involved
a gun being fired without anyone being killed. Another 35 cases involved a
single murder.
Excerpt: Tanya Oliva is on maternity leave .... for her puppy. No, this is not a
story out of a supermarket tabloid. Oliva did not give birth to a canine. She
has, however, convinced her bosses to let her take time off to spend with her
new "four-legged child" (her words, not ours). As Oliva told a
Canadian TV station, "I believe in making sure every man, woman, child,
animal has the best chance in life, and by taking maternity leave for my puppy,
he is going to be just a great dog." (The demands will never end, only
grow. Until the collapse, when she will have to eat the dog. ~Bob)
Excerpt: City attorneys issued subpoenas last month during
the case's discovery phase, seeking, among other communications, "all
speeches, presentations, or sermons related to HERO, the Petition, Mayor Annise
Parker, homosexuality, or gender identity prepared by, delivered by,
revised by, or approved by you or in your possession." (Again, the
hypocrisy of those who constantly scream about separation of church and state
rears its ugly head. (Since Mayor Parker is gay, if this is allowed to go forward,
I predict charges of hate speech against any pastor who has spoken against
homosexuality. Which is in my opinion the REAL reason behind the
subpoenas. --MasterGuns. A chilling effect of religion and speech. ~Bob. Great idea! Let's do it for all the

VA contracting official Susan Taylor resigns amid agency’s
attempt to fire her. By Josh Hicks
Excerpt: A top Department of Veterans Affairs contracting
officer who allegedly steered work to a Virginia
firm resigned Tuesday, eight days after the agency announced that it
had begun the process of firing her. Susan Taylor, the Veteran Health Administration’s No.
2 contracting official, said in an e-mail to employees that she decided to
“resign and retire,” effective Oct. 14. She has worked with the federal
government for 29 years, spending four of them with the VA.
Account of Clinton Aide’s Benghazi
Excerpt: To Sonya Gilliam, a recent account of improper
sorting of Benghazi-related documents at the State Department brought back
vivid memories of her own encounters with high-level government officials who
withheld, deleted or destroyed public records. And one name stood out for its
familiarity: Cheryl Mills.
Democrat Lawmaker In
Gunfight With Teens
Excerpt: Four teenagers have been charged with attempted
homicide, robbery, assault and other counts after they allegedly tried to rob
two state representatives only blocks from the Pennsylvania state capitol and ended up
exchanging gunshots on a public street. State Rep. Marty Flynn, D-Scranton,
formerly a prison guard for the Lackawanna County Prison, was walking along the
street with Rep. Ryan Bizzarro, D-Erie, late Tuesday after a day of legislative
work then dinner out, according
to PennLive.com. ... The suspect, who was described by Welby as “nervous,”
then fired a shot, “and Marty pulled his weapon and fired two shots,” Welby
told PennLive. (Good for him. Probably be expelled from the party for defending
himself--very non-PC. ~Bob)
Police Chief Accuses
Secret Service Of Misconduct
Excerpt: In the Nashville
case, a Secret Service agent made a frantic call for backup to Nashville
police after he and another agent went to the home of a Nashville man, investigating threatening
comments on Facebook about the President. The man who posted them had refused
to let the agents into his house. ... "The resident refused to come
outside and shouted back, 'Show me your warrant,'" Anderson wrote. So "one of the agents
then asked a [police] sergeant to 'wave a piece of paper' in an apparent effort
to dupe the resident into thinking that they indeed had a warrant."
Numerous publications close to the White House have reported
that Labor Secretary Tom Perez has emerged as the leading candidate to replace
Attorney General Eric Holder. That Perez has a documented and repeating history
of dishonesty, racialism, and radicalism shows that this administration feels
unrestrained by conventional political wisdom. That the White House is dropping
his name before an election should demonstrate to every Republican
that Obama is fundamentally transforming politics in corrosive ways that the
GOP seems ill-equipped to contain....
Polar vortex will
likely make a return this winter, says Accuweather
Excerpt: “Cold air will surge into the Northeast in late
November, but the brunt of the season will hold off until January and
February,” they write. “The polar vortex, the culprit responsible for several
days of below-zero temperatures last year, will slip down into the region from
time to time, delivering blasts of arctic air.”
Excerpt: The Food and Drug Administration can make two types
of errors. It can approve a drug that has dangerous unanticipated side effects,
or it can reject or delay approval of a drug that is safe and effective. Let’s
look at these errors, because to err on the side of under- or over-caution is
costly. It’s in an FDA official’s self-interest to err on the side of
over-caution. ... The story is very different when the FDA incorrectly delays
or denies drug approval – errs on the side of over-caution.
Inequality: 8% Of CNN
Workforce Cut While Anchors Reap Millions. By John Nolte
Excerpt: According to various news reports, CNN chief Jeff
Zucker is worth; CNN anchor Don Lemon is worth $3 million;
"New Day" co-host Chris Cuomo makes $2.5 million
per year, as does primetime anchor Erin Burnett.
Anderson cooper
rakes in a cool. At the leftwing cable news network, the rich get richer as 300

About That
CEO/Employee Pay Gap
Excerpt: The AFL-CIO calculated a pay gap based on a very
small sample -- 350 CEOs from the S&P 500. According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, there were 248,760 chief executives in the U.S. in 2013. The
BLS reports that the average annual salary for these chief executives is
$178,400, which we can compare to the $35,239-per-year salary the AFL-CIO uses
for the average American worker. That shrinks the executive pay gap from
331-to-1 down to a far less newsworthy number of roughly five-to-one.
Important: Marriages Down, Unwed Births Up
Excerpt: While fewer Americans are marrying today, Americans
are continuing to give birth, regardless of marital status: In 1960, 72 percent
of American adults were married. In 2010, that figure had dropped to 51
percent. Many Americans are marrying later in life. Single parent families have
grown dramatically. While just 7 percent of American families with children
were single parent families in 1950, 32 percent of families with children were
single parent families in 2013. Forty percent of all births today are to single
mothers. More than half of all births to women under 30 are to single mothers.
(Single parent homes are strongly correlated with poverty, drug abuse and other
social pathology. This fruit of the 1960s is hastening the collapse of the
republic. ~Bob)
What Hayek Teaches Us
about Unintended Consequences
Excerpt: Boudreaux and Zywicki call Hayek's most significant
contribution to the economic field the notion that society was more complex
than men could realize. He wrote, "The curious task of economics is to
demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can
design." Yet today, federal lawmakers seem intent on grand designs, which
have brought a series of unintended consequences. Boudreaux and Zywicki offer
two examples: The Affordable Care Act was intended to insure all Americans, but
its series of mandates, taxes and subsidies have only raised premiums, making
them unaffordable to many. The law has encouraged employers to cut their
workforces or drop them to part time -- again, putting insurance out of their
grasp. When the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill was passed in 2010, it was
intended to create federal oversight over the financial system, in order to
prevent another financial crisis. Yet, the law's 400 new regulations have hit
small banks the hardest, despite the large banks being the ones the law was
intended to target.
Regcession—why
Americans aren’t feeling Obama’s “vigorous recovery”
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/66711 Red
State.com originally published this Excerpt: Current government policy is
actually the cause of that “giant sucking sound,” the reason people aren’t
feeling a supposed economic recovery. These policies, in the form of
regulations—especially those from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
are keeping people from living the American dream and are even lowering
the standard of living from that of our parents. While we
may not technically be in a recession, we are in a regcession—an economic
decline caused by excessive regulations.
Excerpt: It is a dangerous precedent when one person need
only point a finger at another person and cry “WITCH” and that person gets
burned at the stake, drowned, or pressed to death. Yet that is exactly the
situation being fostered in California now that a new gun control measure has
been put in place where a person’s property can be stolen by the police and
they are considered guilty just because a relative points to them and cries out
“gun owner.”
The new law (AB-1014) allows families to petition a court
for the seizure of guns from a family member, and then empowers police to
confiscate firearms from that family member. (This is really scary. Sure, it's
supposed to be about close family members who know that their husband or father
is in deep depression and liable to commit suicide, or who may be talking crazy
about shooting someone they don't like, but in practice, as presented, it means
your second cousin who is fanatically antigun can hear about your collection
and decide they don't like anyone have such weapons, and on the strength of
their work, you get raided by the SWAT team and your guns are gone, and now you
will be facing one long, expensive legal struggle to prove you are not nuts or
dangerous to maybe get them back in a year or three. Great, just great. --Del )
Ebola News
When Obama said he
wanted to offer amnesty and a path to citizenship for those who entered the US
CDC: 2nd Dallas
Excerpt: The second Dallas health care worker diagnosed with
Ebola was on a domestic flight the night before being admitted to the hospital,
and federal health officials are now tracking down all of the patient's fellow
passengers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
said Wednesday. “At approximately 1:00 a.m. MT on October 15, Frontier was
notified by the CDC that a customer traveling on Frontier Airlines flight 1143
Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth on Oct. 13 has since tested positive for the
Ebola virus,” Frontier Airlines said in a statement. The flight landed
at 8:16 p.m. CT. Airline crew members said the female healthcare worker
was reportedly not exhibiting symptoms during the flight. (For those who
thought I was paranoid....Ebola looks like a story, eh? However, open borders,
unrestricted airline flights and noncontainment of those exposed,
underassessment of those exposed, not stating that a viremia can exist in
a pt without signs or symptoms evident (but transmissible) and that may take
longer than proverbial 21 days to show signs of infection understates the risks
to those involved. However, possibly infections allowed to spread to distract
from plague of Enterovirus that "appeared" in US kids with opening of
school and distribution of UACs from Central America throughout US and forming
of caliphate by ISIS with growth. That shifting walnut shell game....Barb. Even
paranoids have enemies...~Bob)
Second Ebola-infected
nurse flown from Dallas to Atlanta
Excerpt: The patient was identified earlier in the day as
29-year-old Amber Vinson as authorities expressed concern that she took a
domestic flight — reportedly to prepare for her wedding in Cleveland — just one day before coming down
with symptoms of the deadly disease.
CDC chief: After
Dallas nurse’s Ebola infection, U.S.
Excerpt: As a 26-year-old Dallas nurse lay infected in
the same hospital where she treated a dying Ebola patient last week, government
officials on Monday said the first transmission of the disease in the United
States had revealed systemic failures in preparation that must “substantially”
change in coming days.
Obama's
Disease-Infected America
Excerpt: I do not believe it was empty rhetoric when Dr. Ben
Carson told Fox News host Chris Wallace that “there might not actually be
elections in 2016. …” Carson did
not specifically mention a pandemic of disease as the reason for same, stating
instead the possibility of economic disaster and ISIS .
I say, what could be more economically devastating than a disease pandemic and
martial law to prevent a run on banks and to allow government-controlled media
blackouts? (The opposition to a hated president always fears he'll cancel
elections somehow. They were saying this about Nixon when I was in college. Lincoln
Obama Ebola Laxness
Ignores US-Funded Studies
Excerpt: A US government-funded September
2, 2014 scientific quantitative transmission analysis study (the
Spread-Risk Ebola Study) wholly contradicts and refutes Obama’s statements on
September 16 that the chances of a US Ebola breakout are “extremely
low,” Arutz Sheva has discovered. The study also contradicts the
anti-travel ban claims made by the US, UN, WHO and CDC....Another US
government-funded scientific study, published on September 29, 2014, (the Travel-Risk Ebola Study) was funded by a grant from the US
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Fogarty International Center,
National Institutes of Health (NIH), also further contradicts and refutes the
WHO/UN/CDC anti-travel ban stance, and explicitly traces the likelihood of the
transmission of the Ebola virus from Ebola hot spots to other travel-based
connected areas.
Congressional
Democrats Fight The Idea Of An Ebola Travel Ban
Excerpt: Congressional Democrats are siding with the Obama
administration — and against a growing number of Americans — when it comes to a
government mandated travel ban from Ebola hotspots in Africa .
While 67 percent of Americans support the idea of a travel ban, many elected Democrats
are decidedly against the idea. The Hill reports, “House Democrats are
pushing back hard against proposals to institute a travel ban in the fight
against the Ebola virus.” (Can we send them down there to help the troops?

Excerpt: If you are worried about contracting Ebola, I have
two suggestions. First, stop. Second, get a flu shot. On the first: If you live
in the United States, your chances of getting Ebola are vanishingly small —
even if you are a health-care worker, or a journalist who travels to Africa to
report on the epidemic. ... There is an interesting debate about how many
people die of the flu each year. The standard,
prod-the-masses-into-getting-shots figure is north of 30,000.
We'll tell you how
dangerous Ebola is after the election. By Ann Coulter
Excerpt: It's becoming increasingly clear this is just
another platform for Obama to demonstrate that we are citizens of the world.
The entire Ebola issue is being discussed -- by our government, not
the United Nations -- as if Liberians are indistinguishable from Americans, and
U.S.
taxpayers should be willing to pay whatever it takes to save them. Maybe we should
give them the vote, too! If Ebola was concentrated in Finland and Norway
-- certainly Israel
Fight the spread of

Excerpt: Only now that it has reached America ’s shores, threatens to
wreak havoc on the world’s economy and, most importantly to the president and
his political allies, appears poised to deliver a staggering blow to the
Democratic Party and their borderless agenda of recklessness and ineptitude in
November’s elections. ... One thing is absolutely certain: These people have
been exactly, completely, 100 percent wrong every step of the way. (Liberals

they saved the birds...that they are now chopping up in wind farms. ~Bob)

Not now. Political and career advantage is found in

increasingly no one quite knows how to define. Almost anyone can be a Latino or
Hispanic, from a fourth-generation American with one-quarter Mexican ancestry,
to a first-generation Cuban, to a youth who recently arrived illegally
from Central America , to someone
whose great-grandparents emigrated from the Portuguese Azores.

Yinka Abodeda Adeshina ran as a Republican candidate for

Obamacare/Government Healthcare News

Excerpt: Last month the administration announced that 7.3
million people were insured under Obamacare as of mid-August. That was
the first announcement of enrollment made by the administration since April.
They provided just one number and no backup and admitted that they had been
collecting enrollment data from insurers all along. They conveniently reported
this figure just before enrollment is expected to take a big fall when
thousands of people hit the deadline to clear up discrepancies in their income
and legal resident status or risk losing subsidies or coverage altogether. We
still don't know how many lost coverage or are still in limbo.
Democrats' New Obamacare Strategy: Lowering Expectations.
By Guy Benson
Excerpt: Scaling back the public's expectations is a
strategy Obamacare defenders ought to have employed during their
original sales pitch of 2009 and 2010. If they hadn't made some many big,
falsifiable promises, a lot of consumer anger, frustration and betrayal
might have been prevented. Then again, if they hadn't made all of those
vows, the law wouldn't have passed in the first place.

Middle East: Obama shuns our friends and courts our enemies. By Victor Davis
Hanson
Excerpt: Obama’s unfortunate Middle East legacy was
predicated on six flawed assumptions: (1) a special relationship with Turkey; (2)
distancing the U.S. from Israel; (3) empathy for Islamist governments as
exemplified by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt; (4) a sort of non-aggression
agreement with Iran; (5) expecting his own multicultural fides to resonate in
the region; (6) pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Let us examine what has
followed.
Excerpt: As fighters from the Islamic State surge in Iraq

gains and a top Pentagon official has conceded he is only “somewhat” confident
Iraqi forces can hold Baghdad .
For the administration, projecting confidence and progress is essential in
order to retain and recruit allies for a campaign the United States
knows it cannot win on its own.
It’s also essential to minimizing the political headaches
created by military setbacks — an especially important point for a White House
desperately seeking to project competence before the midterm elections. (And it

National Security Advisor Susan Rice
announced Sunday that Turkey
had “in the last several days made a commitment that they will in the first instance
allow the United States
and our partners to use Turkish bases and territory to train ... moderate
Syrian opposition forces.” Not only that, she said, "In addition, they
have said that their facilities inside of Turkey
can be used by the coalition forces, American and otherwise, to engage in
activities inside of Iraq
and Syria .
That's the new commitment, and one that we very much welcome.” Rice
has never been known to tell a lie on
a Sunday talk show before, so imagine our surprise when Turkey denied
any such agreement. "There is no decision at the moment," said
foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. The truth is, the administration's approach
to ISIL is a pathetic
JV effort, and they're having trouble recruiting allies as a result.

Excerpt: Iranian parliament chairman Ali Larijani
said on Wednesday that ongoing nuclear talks between his country

issue" - such as the number of nuclear centrifuges left in the
Islamic regime by a deal. Iran in
July claimed it "needs"
19 times more nuclear centrifuges than the number offered
by world powers, demanding 190,000 centrifuges. Experts have
warned Iran must
be stripped of its centrifuges, for if left with its current
19,000 centrifuges it would have sudden breakout capacity of six
to seven weeks in which it could enrich uranium quickly and achieve a nuclear
bomb.
