2,224 Regulations Before Turkey Day

2,224 Regulations Before Turkey Day | The Daily Caller
While millions of Americans prepare to stuff themselves with Turkey and pie, the Obama administration quietly released its plans for 2,224 federal rules Friday — a preview of just how many more regulations the president is attempting to issue before he leaves office.

President Barack Obama’s Unified Agenda for Fall 2015 is his administration’s regulatory road map and lays out thousands of regulations being finalized in the coming months. 
Obama has developed a habit of releasing the agenda late on Friday before a major holiday.

Military investigates to see if its ISIS reports covered up failures

Military investigates to see if its ISIS reports covered up failures | The Seattle Times:
The Pentagon is investigating accusations from analysts that supervisors revised conclusions to mask some of the U.S. military’s failures in training Iraqi troops and beating back the Islamic State.
WASHINGTON — When Islamic State group fighters overran a string of Iraqi cities last year, analysts at U.S. Central Command wrote classified assessments for military-intelligence officials and policymakers that documented the humiliating retreat of the Iraqi army.
But before the assessments were final, former intelligence officials said, the analysts’ superiors made significant changes.
In the revised documents, the Iraqi army had not retreated.
The soldiers had simply “redeployed.”
Such changes are at the heart of an expanding internal Pentagon investigation of CENTCOM, as Central Command is known, where analysts say supervisors revised conclusions to mask some of the U.S. military’s failures in training Iraqi troops and in beating back the Islamic State group. 
The analysts say supervisors were particularly eager to paint a more optimistic picture of America’s role in the conflict than was warranted..."

70 ISIS SCUMBAGS ARRESTED IN USA: Can You Guess How Many Were Obama's Refugees? - Freedom Daily

70 ISIS SCUMBAGS ARRESTED IN USA: Can You Guess How Many Were Obama's Refugees? - Freedom Daily:

"US authorities have charged at least 66 men and women with ISIS-related terror plots on American soil – including a handful of refugees, Daily Mail Online can reveal.

The terror group has set its sights on Washington, D.C. as it vows to further infiltrate the West and ramp up its blood-soaked offensive.

President Obama insists that ‘slamming the door’ on Syrian refugees fleeing isis would be a betrayal of American values.

But 34 governors are refusing to take in any more, in case jihadi fighters slip into their states and repeat the carnage of Paris."

5 Devastating Obamacare Facts Every American Should Know

5 Devastating Obamacare Facts Every American Should Know - Breitbart:
Last week’s devastating Obamacare announcement by United Healthcare — it expects to lose $600 million on Obamacare policies next year — further confirms what conservatives have known and said all along: Obamacare is a disaster.
The nation’s largest health insurer is even considering pulling out of Obamacare altogether.
Below, then, are five devastating Obamacare facts every American should know about President Barack Obama’s signature legislative achievement:

• 1. Insurance companies are withdrawing in droves
• 2. “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” was a brazen and cruel lie.
• 3. Still waiting on that $2,500 in savings Obama promised you? You’re not alone. Premiums are skyrocketing nationwide.
• 4. Obamacare customers say their plans are “useless” due to soaring deductibles.
• 5. The Obamacare “death spiral” conservatives warned about is real.

Defend yourself!!!-----Elderly couple, BOTH locked and loaded, hold burglar at gunpoint until cops come

Elderly couple, BOTH locked and loaded, hold burglar at gunpoint until cops come | BizPac Review:
An elderly couple stopped a burglary in progress when they held the thief at gunpoint until police could arrive.
They caught the burglar red-handed loading stolen items from their home into a vehicle, Albuquerque police reported to a local news station.
“The old man goes inside his house arms himself with a shotgun, tells his wife what is happening and she arms herself with a handgun,” Albuquerque Officer Tanner Tixier told KRQE News 13.
Police said Aaron Lujan was loading the couple’s items into a stolen SUV when the 70-year-old man tried to stop him. When Lujan ignored him, the man and his wife came out with their weapons drawn while neighbors called the police.
An APD body cam depicts the officer’s arrival and arrest of Lujan.

Micro passive-aggressive analysis

NOVEMBER 22, 2015 7:36 PM - AUTHOR: ERIC SCHEIE

In case you’re wondering about what exactly is a “microaggression,” wonder no more! 

A benevolent corporate entity known as MTV has deigned to educate white people by way of illustration:

I watched it avidly, and it made me realize that I too have been the victim of microaggressions. 
While I have traveled to other countries, until now I had not realized that what I thought were compliments were actually microaggressions.

In Mexico I was repeatedly told that I spoke good Spanish.

I’ll illustrate with a popular “microaggression” meme I altered slightly.

Same thing in Argentina.

In Japan I was told that I had nice hair.

In Turkey I was told (swear to God!) that I had a nice wrist.

In Germany I was told that I looked German.

Must have been something to it, because when I was in Spain, some German tourists came up and asked me for directions in German!

Not only did I never take offense at any of these things, I was naive enough to have thought they were compliments.

And if someone were to assume that because of my appearance or race I was good at golf or an authority on NASCAR, I might be amused, but it would never occur to me to feel slighted or insulted in any way.

Failure of education, obviously.

Anti-Gun Newsom Spends Taxpayer Millions on Armed Guards

Anti-Gun Newsom Spends Taxpayer Millions on Armed Guards:

"Here is the bottom line: Newsom does not think allowing average Americans to be armed for self-defense does any good. In fact, he thinks “it’s most likely to create more harm, more damage, more lost lives in those circumstances.” But he had no problem spending millions to surround himself with armed security as mayor and to increase expenditures for armed security by $30,000 once he became Lt. Governor."

How Social Security’s COLA Politics Lead to Bad Policy

How Social Security’s COLA Politics Lead to Bad Policy | Economics21:
"How COLAs work:
The annual Social Security COLA is calculated by comparing the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) in the third quarter of the most recent year to its level in the third quarter of the previous year. CPI-W is just one of multiple measures of general price inflation maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Most economists believe it is less accurate than other measures including the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U).
It just so happened that Social Security COLAs were first established in law before the other more refined measures were developed.

Other quirks of law surround Social Security COLAs.
One is that when there is no COLA, neither is there an increase in the amount of wages subject to the Social Security payroll tax – even though normally those automatic annual tax base increases are computed differently than the COLA or CPI.
Another provision of law (the so-called “hold harmless” provision) prevents most beneficiaries’ monthly Social Security benefit checks, net of Medicare Part B premiums, from declining.
This means that whenever there is a zero COLA year, roughly 70% of seniors do not face a Medicare premium increase even though their benefit costs have likely gone up.
Under law the resulting revenue loss to Medicare is supposed to be made up by higher premiums from high-income seniors and on behalf of low-income seniors (whose premiums are paid for them under Medicaid by the states).
This in turn can mean huge premium increases for a minority of seniors on opposite ends of the income spectrum, as would otherwise have happened this year.
These various provisions do not add up to a coherent policy, but rather embody a patchwork of responses to the perceived policy and political challenges that accompany zero COLA years.
Zero COLAs are usually more good than bad for seniors, Part 1:.."

“The president’s radical attempt to destabilize the nation’s energy system is flatly illegal,” Cruz said. “And unless it is invalidated by Congress, struck down by the courts or, hopefully, rescinded by the next administration, it will cause Americans’ electricity costs to skyrocket at a time when those who are struggling can least afford it. What the Obama administration is doing to harm the American economy is the sort of power grab that our founders would have recognized as tyranny.”

FBI Probe of Hillary Clinton Expands Again: New Potential Felonies Over False Statements

FBI Probe of Hillary Clinton Expands Again: New Potential Felonies Over False Statements - Katie Pavlich:

As reported earlier this week, the FBI probe of Democrat presidential frontrunner and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server has expanded. Today, the FBI is further expanding its investigation by putting Clinton under the microscope for potentially violating a federal false statements statute, a felony offense. More from Fox News: 

The FBI has expanded its probe of Hillary Clinton's emails, with agents exploring whether multiple statements violate a federal false statements statute, according to intelligence sources familiar with the ongoing case.

Fox News is told agents are looking at U.S. Code 18, Section 1001, whichpertains to "materially false" statements given either in writing, orally or through a third party. Violations also include pressuring a third party to conspire in a cover-up. Each felony violation is subject to five years in prison.

"The agents involved are under a lot of pressure and are busting a--," an intelligence source, who was not authorized to speak on the record, told Fox News.

The section of the criminal code being explored is known as "statements or entries generally," and can be applied when an individual makes misleading or false statements causing federal agents to expend additional resources and time.

North Carolina voluntary gun surrender event produces big results-NOT!

North Carolina voluntary gun surrender event produces big results « Hot Air
A staple among the more “reasonable” gun control advocates in America is the voluntary gun turn-in or buy-back program.
Hillary Clinton has recently gone on record as a big supporter of these programs, whether they be optional or… not so optional, like in Australia.
If you had any doubt about the effectiveness of such plans, the folks in Greensboro, North Carolina were out to prove you wrong this month.
They held just such an event where they would accept any number of weapons, getting them off the streets and presumably out of the hands of criminals.
...So how did that turn out?
If you read the coverage from this Time Warner Cable News Network report it was a smashing success.
Almost 1,000 people turned out and it was a glorious day to get guns off the streets.
Almost 1000 people took “A Pledge of Non-Violence” Saturday at Destiny Christian Center in Greensboro.
So that’s a big win all the way around, right?
...Police-community partnerships are a positive measure to increase public safety, but good intentions aren’t the same thing as a good (or effective) plan.
A report by Time-Warner Cable News tried to put a positive spin on things by noting that “almost 1,000 people” responded to take the pledge, leading one to believe that 1,000 firearms had been turned in, but this was hardly the case. 
As evidenced by the footage accompanying the story, the gun turn-in apparently resulted in a single BB pistol and a single sheathed hunting knife being “taken off the streets...”

Trump: Not Only our Right, But our Duty to Carry Firearms

Trump: Not Only our Right, But our Duty to Carry Firearms - Justin Holcomb:
Trump's Statement:

There are nearly 13 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States who are part of the 100 million gun owners who defend the Constitutional right to “keep and bear arms.” This fundamental liberty is held closest by those who have gone through the process of vetting required to be entrusted with the ability to defend themselves, their families and their property with concealed weapons.

The concept of concealed carry is as much intended to deter criminal activity as it is to provide direct defense of those who have those permits. Not all concealed carry permit holders “carry” all the time. Thus, the deterrent value is that those who might contemplate criminal behavior will think twice when that doubt exists.

Carrying a weapon is not always feasible or appropriate. However, given the increased tensions that are the result of continued, escalating terrorism around the world, more legitimately armed individuals on the streets is a positive outcome. Each permit holder must make the decision to carry or not carry. I will carry more often than I have in the past, and I am sure other concealed permit holders will do the same. Do we have an obligation to carry? The answer is “yes,” but we must do it in such a way as to raise serious doubts in the minds of those who might be considering violence in America. Deterring violence is far better than dealing with the aftermath of an act of terror. Less blood, more security. That is what will make America great again.

 "President Barack Obama was criticized by supporters of Israel Sunday for three days of silence following the slaying of an American student by a Palestinian gunman on Thursday.

While the State Department — albeit one day after the attack — and the U.S. ambassador to Israel condemned the attack, a petition was started on the White House website calling on President Obama to “publicly acknowledge the senseless killing of Ezra Schwartz,” the Massachusetts Jewish teenager gunned down while spending a year in Israel before starting college next fall."

The response could not have been what she was hoping for.
The link in her tweet went to a campaign webpage on sexual assault on campus that starts with a quote from a speech Hillary gave in September:
“I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault:
Don’t let anyone silence your voice.
You have the right to be heard.
You have the right to be believed, and we’re with you.”

…was immediately greeted with a crush of reminders of allegations against her husband, former President Bill Clinton, for sexual assault and even rape.

Tough Aussie kid!-----Boy powers through hiccups while singing Australian national anthem at baseball game

Boy powers through hiccups while singing Australian national anthem at baseball game | abc13.com
Ethan Hall is only 7 years old, but he knows that the show must go on.
Even when you get a pesky bout of the hiccups at the least opportune time.
Young Ethan sang the Australian national anthem during a baseball game between Brisbane and his hometown of Adelaide Friday night.
The performance was Ethan's professional league debut, Andrew Reynolds, the Digital Media Manager for the Australian Baseball League told ABC.
On the way to the stadium, Ethan came down with a case of the hiccups he just couldn't shake.

"He plays baseball himself, but it was his first time at a professional baseball game," Reynolds said in an email.
Ethan took a few deep breaths as he prepared to sing, but not even five seconds into the song his hiccups got in the way.
He didn't give up, though, powering through more than a dozen hiccups and garnering the respect of the crowd and the commentators.
"What a lot of courage from the youngster. I mean, he could have completely fallen apart," said one announcer as Ethan exited the pitch to high fives from the players.
Though Ethan won spectators over with that first performance, the ABL said he deserved a chance to show how impressive he can be when unhindered by hiccups.
"His return to sing the anthem is already being planned," Reynolds said. "He'll get his shot at redemption very very soon."
