SR-71 Blackbird follow-up: A new TERRIFYING Mach 6 spy-drone bomber • The Register:"The famous SR-71 Blackbird was put out to pasture over a decade ago – but the legendary Skunk Works aviation wizards that built it have been showing off a replacement that can travel twice as fast and it could be in the skies within a decade.
The SR-72 will be unmanned, saving a lot of the weight needed to keep the two fleshy pilots of its predecessor alive and functional, and will be able to cruise at high speeds for aerial reconnaissance. It is also being designed to have offensive capabilities that would make it the ultimate in fast bombers.
The new aircraft uses two types of engine to fly; a beefed-up turbojet to take off and reach speeds of up to Mach 4, whereupon a scramjet takes over and boosts the aircraft to a cruising speed of Mach 6 - that's more than two kilometers per second. Skunk Works told Aviation Week that the craft isn't particularly stealthy, but at that speed it doesn't need to be."

Wojo's Pigskin Picks: Michigan State tries on bully role for size
"Before these rivals completely change identities, let’s revisit a couple classic jokes I just made up:
Q: How many Wolverines does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 110,001 — one to change it and 110,000 to reminisce how Bo would’ve motivated the bulb to change itself by famously snarling, “The bulb, the bulb, the bulb.”
Q: How many Spartans does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Three — one to change it, one to chug a beer and crush the bulb on his forehead, and one to argue Michigan State’s Bulb-Changing Bachelor’s Degree is just as respected as Michigan’s."

Senate Democrats supported rule that led to insurance cancellations
Senate Democrats supported rule that led to insurance cancellations – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs:Washington (CNN) - Senate Democrats voted unanimously three years ago to support the Obamacare rule that is largely responsible for some of the health insurance cancellation letters that are going out.
In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.
“The District of Columbia is an island surrounded by reality. Only in the District of Columbia could you get away with telling the people if you like what you have you can keep it, and then pass regulations six months later that do just the opposite and figure that people are going to ignore it. But common sense is eventually going to prevail in this town and common sense is going to have to prevail on this piece of legislation as well,” Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said at the time.
“The administration's own regulations prove this is not the case. Under the grandfathering regulation, according to the White House's own economic impact analysis, as many as 69 percent of businesses will lose their grandfathered status by 2013 and be forced to buy government-approved plans,” the Iowa Republican said.
On a party line vote, Democrats killed the resolution
Lies! Murderous lies! ------U.S. military commandos fought in Benghazi
U.S. military commandos fought in Benghazi - Washington Times:"For months, administration officials have claimed no special operations forces were dispatched from outside Libya to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012, al Qaeda terrorist attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission and CIA annex because none was within range."
...But sources directly familiar with the attack tell The Washington Times that a unit of eight special operators — mostly Delta Force and Green Beret members — were in Tripoli the night of the attack, on a counterterrorism mission that involved capturing weapons and wanted terrorists from the streets and helping train Libyan forces.
When word of the Benghazi attack surfaced, two members of that military unit volunteered to be dispatched along with five private security contractors on a hastily arranged flight from Tripoli to rescue Americans in danger, the sources said, speaking only on the condition of anonymity because the special operations forces’ existence inside Libya was secret.
The two special operations forces arrived in time to engage in the final, ferocious firefight between the terrorists and Americans holed up in the CIA annex near the ill-fated diplomatic mission in Benghazi, the sources added.
The two special operators were awarded medals for valor for helping repel a complex attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stephens, another American diplomat and two former Navy SEALs, but spared many more potential casualties.
“Yes, we had special forces in Tripoli, and two in fact did volunteer and engaged heroically in the efforts to save Americans,” one source told The Times. “The others were asked to stay behind to help protect Tripoli in case there was a coordinated attack on our main embassy.
...“On the one hand, it is an indictment of the lack of contingency planning by both CIA and DoD, especially given the rising threat profiles in Libya that were well understood — and appropriately reported back to D.C. by agency reps on the ground,” said retired Army Col. Ken Allard. “So why weren’t there more than just two Delta Force guys to send? Above all: Where were the air and naval resources that should have routinely been included in any contingency planning worthy of the name?
‘We can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices.’ Says who?!
‘We can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices.’ Says who?! | RedState:
But you and I both know that with only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices – not when consume 20 percent of the world’s oil.– Barack Obama, March 10, 2012
Oh, really?
That was the refrain during the election season of 2012, with average gasoline prices crowding $4.00 per gallon and no relief in sight. Democrats painted Republicans as wackos for thinking $2.50/gallon gasoline possible. But eighteen months have passed since the President’smisleading pronouncement: the U.S. is now poised to surpass Russia and Saudi Arabia as the the world’s #1 producer of oil and natural gas. The boom in domestic production continues, with oil production at levels not seen in a generation. Demand is soft, oil inventories are high and there is refinery capacity to spare.
And guess what? Gasoline prices are dropping. Color me unsurprised.
Government Paid Millions in Medicare to Deceased, Illegal Immigrants

The Chris Matthews Race-Bait of the Day is... | Truth Revolt:
The race-baiting continued on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews Wednesday evening when he, once again, managed to slander the Tea Party as bigoted white folks for using phrases like "We the American People." If the phrase sounds familiar, it might be the fact you probably read it from the U.S. Constitution itself. Matthews had this to say in regards to the phrase:
When they say 'we the American people' who are they talking about? Are they only talking about people of a certain Evangelical background? A certain region? Who are they talking about when they confidently say 'we the American people' as if they don't mean blacks from the big cities. They don't mean people of other religions besides Christianity. Who are they talking about?
After a brief reply from Mother Jones columnist David Corn, spouting cliched anti-Republican rhetoric, Matthews then took his daily swing at Ted Cruz and his Cuban/Canadian heritage.
I'm not going to quit on this point. I like immigrants, especially people who come here legally and play by the rules. He did that. But his father's from Cuba. He just got here from Canada, and yet he gets to dictate who an American is. He gets to write out everybody in the northeast, everybody who is a liberal, everybody who is a minority. The blacks who were here for 400 years, are they Americans or just the guy who got here from Canada with a Cuban father? How do you get to dictate this stuff to America to your convenience. It's an awesome arrogance.

Pentagon training manual: white males have unfair advantages
Pentagon training manual: white males have unfair advantages | Fox News:"A controversial 600-plus page manual used by the military to train its Equal Opportunity officers teaches that "healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian" men hold an unfair advantage over other races, and warns in great detail about a so-called "White Male Club."
“Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege,” reads a statement in the manual created by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI)."

A law for thee but not for me.......Congress governs self under 'Obamacare'
My Way News - Congress governs self under 'Obamacare':"Members of Congress are governing themselves under President Barack Obama's signature law, which means they have great leeway in how to apply it to their own staffs.
For House members and senators, it's about a section of the law that may - or may not - require lawmakers to toss some staffers off of their federal health insurance and into the Affordable Care Act's exchanges.
The verdict from congressional officers is ultimately that lawmakers, as employers, have discretion over who among their staffs gets ejected, and who stays. And they don't have to say who, how many or why.
What they all say is this:
"I followed the law," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., echoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others."

Then comes December, with nine session days planned but in the state senate three of those days late in the month are listed as “tentative.”
Or put another way, there are 61 days left in the year and state lawmakers are in town for 15 days or about 30% of the time - but remember, the rest of the time, “I’m back home working in the district.”"

Oh, the humanity! The temporary 29 cent per person per day food stamp bonus is ending Today!
Food stamp benefits going down before the holidays - NBC News.com:
"Millions of American families could face a sparse holiday table when food stamps benefits get reduced in November, and that could be just the start of deeper cuts to the program to feed poor families.
The modern-day food stamp plan, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is scheduled to scale back benefits for all recipients on Nov. 1 because a recession-era boost in benefits is expiring.
The cut comes as lawmakers also are considering billions of dollars of reductions to the overall SNAP program, which has grown substantially in recent years amid the weak economy and high unemployment.
The program is now serving more than 23 million households, or nearly 48 million people, according to the most recent government data through June. The USDA says the average monthly benefit is about $275 per household.
The exact reduction depends on the recipients’ situation, but a family of four with no other changes in circumstances will receive $36 less per month, according to the USDA. At today's average prices, that translates to four fewer whole chickens each month."
