Senator Votes ‘No’ on Intelligence Bill, Claiming It ‘Takes a Hatchet’ to Americans’ Liberty | TheBlaze.com:
"The Senate’s annual intelligence authorization bill reportedly contains a provision that would allow the FBI to obtain U.S. citizens’ email records without oversight.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) was the only lawmaker who voted against the still-classified bill in the Intelligence Committee, saying that its current wording infringes upon American citizens’ rights."

"Another 4th of July is here and all across the nation, millions of us will celebrate in thousands of different ways.
Our military members around the world will miss out on hometown celebrations, instead, performing the duties assigned to them.
This story is in honor of them:
"As a commercial pilot, I too see the effects of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Last month I showed up to start a trip and was approached by a gate agent.
“Captain, good morning, I wanted to inform you that we have H.R. on this flight”, she said.
H.R. stands for human remains.
“Are they military?”, I asked.
“Yes”, she said.
“Is there an escort?”, I asked.
“Yes, I already assigned him a seat”, she said.
“Would you please tell him to come to the flight deck, you can board him early”, I said.
A short while later, a young army sergeant entered the flight deck.
He was the image of the perfectly dressed soldier.
He introduced himself and I asked him about his soldier.
The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk about them as if they are still alive and with us.

He was the image of the perfectly dressed soldier.
He introduced himself and I asked him about his soldier.
The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk about them as if they are still alive and with us.
“My soldier is on his way back to Virginia”, he said.
He proceeded to answer my questions, but offered no words on his own.
I asked him if there was anything I could do for him and he said no.
I told him that he has the toughest job in the military and that I appreciated the work that he does for the families of our fallen soldiers.
The first officer and I got up out of our seats to shake his hand.
He left the flight deck to find his seat.
We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and performed an uneventful departure.
We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and performed an uneventful departure.
About 30 minutes into our flight I received a call from the lead flight attendant in the cabin.
“I just found out the family of the soldier we are carrying, is onboard”, he said.
He then proceeded to tell me that the father, mother, wife and 2-year-old daughter were escorting their son, husband, and father home.
The family was upset because they were unable to see the container that the soldier was in before we left.
We were on our way to a major hub at which the family was going to wait 4 hours for the connecting flight home to Virginia.
The father of the soldier told the flight attendant that knowing his son was below him in the cargo compartment and being unable to see him was too much for him and the family to bare.
He had asked the flight attendant if there was anything that could be done to allow them to see him upon our arrival.
The family wanted to be outside by the cargo door to watch the soldier being taken off the airplane.
I could hear the desperation in the flight attendants voice when he asked me if there was anything I could do.
“I’m on it”, I said.
I told him that I would get back to him.
Airborne communication with my company normally occurs in the form of email like messages.
Airborne communication with my company normally occurs in the form of email like messages.
I decided to bypass this system and contact my flight dispatcher directly on a secondary radio.
There is a radio operator in the operations control center who connects you to the telephone of the dispatcher.
I was in direct contact with the dispatcher.
I explained the situation I had onboard with the family and what it was the family wanted.
He said he understood and that he would get back to me.
Two hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher.
Two hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher.
We were going to get busy soon and I needed to know what to tell the family.
I sent a text message asking for an update.
I saved the return message from the dispatcher and this following is the text.
“Captain, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.
“Captain, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.
There is policy on this now and I had to check on a few things.
Upon your arrival a dedicated escort team will meet the aircraft.
The team will escort the family to the ramp and planeside.
A van will be used to load the remains with a secondary van for the family.
The family will be taken to their departure area and escorted into the terminal where the remains can be seen on the ramp.
It is a private area for the family only.
It is a private area for the family only.
When the connecting aircraft arrives, the family will be escorted onto the ramp and planeside to watch the remains being loaded for the final leg home.
Captain, most of us here in flight control are veterans.
Please pass our condolences on to the family, thanks.”
I sent a message back telling flight control thanks for a good job.
I sent a message back telling flight control thanks for a good job.
I printed out the message and gave it to the lead flight attendant to pass on to the father.
The lead flight attendant was very thankful and told me,
Things started getting busy for the descent, approach and landing.
After landing, we cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp area.
After landing, we cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp area.
The ramp is huge with 15 gates on either side of the alleyway.
It is always a busy area with aircraft maneuvering every which way to enter and exit.
When we entered the ramp and checked in with the ramp controller, we were told that all traffic was being held for us.
“There is a team in place to meet the aircraft”, we were told.
It looked like it was all coming together, then I realized that once we turned the seat belt sign off, everyone would stand up at once and delay the family from getting off the airplane.
As we approached our gate, I asked the copilot to tell the ramp controller we were going to stop short of the gate to make an announcement to the passengers.
He did that and the ramp controller said, “Take your time.”
I stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake.
I pushed the public address button and said, “Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking.
I have stopped short of our gate to make a special announcement.
We have a passenger on board who deserves our honor and respect.
His name is private XXXXXX, a soldier who recently lost his life.
Private XXXXXX is under your feet in the cargo hold.
Escorting him today is army sergeant XXXXXXX.
Also onboard are his father, mother, wife, and daughter.
Your entire flight crew is asking for all passengers to remain in their seats to allow the family to exit the aircraft first. Thank you.”
We continued the turn to the gate, came to a stop and started our shutdown procedures.
A couple of minutes later I opened the cockpit door.
I found the two forward flight attendants crying, something you just do not see.
I was told that after we came to a stop, every passenger on the aircraft stayed in their seats, waiting for the family to exit the aircraft.
When the family got up and gathered their things, a passenger slowly started to clap their hands.
Moments later more passengers joined in and soon the entire aircraft was clapping.
Words of “God Bless You, I’m sorry, Thank you, Be proud, and other kind words were uttered to the family as they made their way down the aisle and out of the airplane.
They were escorted down to the ramp to finally be with the loved one lost.
I never did see the family.
Another soldier died, another family grieved and we did what we could.
That is the way it works sometimes.
I get a call from the cabin and we work as a team to do what we can.
That day everybody from the flight crew, to the operations center, to the 184 passengers onboard, we did what we could.
Many of the passengers disembarking thanked me for the announcement I made.
They were just words,
I could say them over and over again, but nothing I say will bring that soldier back.
I respectfully ask that all of you reflect on this day and the sacrifices that millions of men and women have made to ensure our freedom, safety, and the right to live a good life."

Venezuela Economic Crisis | Democratic Socialism | Hugo Chavez
Venezuela Economic Crisis | Democratic Socialism | Hugo Chavez:
"It is yet another ‘miracle of socialism’ that a country with the world’s largest oil reserves can go almost broke. Venezuela’s total oil reserves stand at an estimated 296.5 billion barrels, which is higher than Saudi Arabia’s 265.4 billion barrels. But the cash-strapped country is struggling to get investments and technical expertise to convert its oil reserves into revenue.
Socialist leader Hugo Chávez got elected as country’s President in 1999 and introduced the ideology of “Socialism of the 21st Century”. Chávez enacted a new constitution, taking control of the state and the economy to carry out his “socialist revolution”.
Chávez, and later his protégé Nicolás Maduro, managed to win consecutive elections largely due to their policies of social redistribution — but as it always happens — they have finally run out of other people’s money. British newspaper Financial Times reports:"

8 Iranian missile launches since nuke deal signed, expert tells US Congress
8 Iranian missile launches since nuke deal signed, expert tells US Congress | The Times of Israel
"In the 10 months since the Iran nuclear agreement was signed, the Islamic Republic has increased the frequency of its ballistic missile testing, according to researcher Michael Elleman, who testified before a US senatorial committee this week.
...investigating the effects of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the official name for the Iran nuclear deal signed in July 2015.
Since then, Iran’s ballistic missile program has become a central issue in the debate surrounding the nuclear deal, with opponents of the agreement saying test launches violate the terms of the JCPOA, while proponents argue missile tests are “inconsistent” with United Nations resolutions but not necessarily illegal.
According to the UN decision, “Iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,” until October 2023.
As they’re only “called upon not to” test missiles, but not expressly forbidden from doing so, Iran has used that loophole to increase its testing with impunity.
“[The US has] engaged in a lot of hue and cry over Iran’s missile capabilities, but they should know that this ballyhoo does not have any influence and they cannot do a damn thing,” Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei said this week.
According to Elleman, in the almost year following the signing of the agreement and the removal of sanctions, Iran has performed at least eight missile tests — three in 2015 and five thus far in 2016..."

If You Don't Want To Get nuked Don't Bomb Pearl Harbor
If You Don't Want To Get nuked Don't Bomb Pearl Harbor:
President Obama has kowtowed to the Japanese and Western liberals by promising at the site of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb “we shall not repeat the evil.”
People who agree with this sentiment ought to do two things.
First they should read the essay – Thank God for the Atom Bomb – war historian Paul Fussell wrote on how he felt when, as a 21-year-old second lieutenant in the US army, he and his comrades heard the news that Japan had been nuclear bombed into surrender.
“When we learned to our astonishment that we would not be obliged in a few months to rush up the beaches near Tokyo assault-firing while being machine-gunned, mortared, and shelled, for all the practiced phlegm of our tough facades we broke down and cried with relief and joy. We were going to live.”
Second, they should familiarize themselves with which country it was started this particular war; which country fought it with such sadistic determination that they would frequently torture and bayonet prisoners – even the wounded, in hospitals they’d over-run and would almost always refuse to surrender themselves, making any assault on territory they held more than usually costly in allied lives.
If ever the US finds itself in such circumstances again, let us pray that the president it has at the time is nothing like Barack Obama.

MSNBC's Brian Williams Says US Dropped Atomic Bomb 'In Anger':
"MSNBC breaking news host Brian Williams once again is finding his on-air comments coming under scrutiny, after characterizing the United States’ use of the atomic bomb against Japan as being “in anger.”
The former NBC Nightly News anchor was responding to a point being made by his colleague, Andrea Mitchell, who was praising former Sens. Dick Lugar and Sam Nunn for their work on nuclear non-proliferation.
“[T]hat is still the threat that people worry about that this material will fall into the wrong hands,” said Williams. “If people have found the U.S. to be preachy in the years since Hiroshima and Nagasaki about the use of nuclear weapons, it’s because we’re the only nation to have used them in anger.”

The most infamous pace car in Indianapolis 500 history
Gregg Doyel: The most infamous pace car in Indianapolis 500 history
The car is beautiful, today. Orange paint, white leather interior, big brown steering wheel straight out of the 1970s. The demolished front end has been restored, leaving no trace of the mayhem this Dodge Challenger caused, the terror it struck at the 1971 Indianapolis 500.
It sits today in a warehouse in Fishers, low to the ground but long, sleek, its hood jutting over the grill like the overbite of a tiger shark.
This is the most notorious pace car in the history of the Indianapolis 500.
Well, it almost killed someone...
