U.S. Senate boosts bill for water projects, including $220 million for Flint

U.S. Senate boosts bill for water projects, including $220 million for Flint - Crain's Detroit Business: "WASHINGTON — The Senate voted Monday to move forward on a $10 billion water projects bill that includes $220 million in emergency funding for Flint and other communities beset by lead-contaminated water.
Senators advanced the bill 90-1 on a procedural vote, with approval expected later this week.
...The measure includes $100 million in grants and loans to replace lead-contaminated pipes in Flint and other cities with lead emergencies, as well as $70 million toward loans to improve water infrastructure across the country.
It also includes $50 million to bolster lead-prevention programs and test water for lead in schools.
Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., said lawmakers finally "have a pathway to success" on Flint after months of effort...."

Police Seize Car, Drive 54,000 Miles, Sell It Without Charging Owners With a Crime

Police Seize Car, Drive 54,000 Miles, Sell It Without Charging Owners With a Crime [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"A year after the Saginaw County Sheriff seized a classic muscle car from a Shiawassee County couple, it sold the car at auction — with another 54,000 miles that had been logged in the interim. Last month, the couple filed a federal lawsuit over the car and other items that had been seized and then sold by the department.
The department's actions grew out of a 2008 investigation for possible drug crimes, but the couple was never convicted or even charged with a crime.
Gerald and Royetta Ostipow filed the lawsuit on Aug. 24 with the U.S. District Court in Detroit against Saginaw County Sheriff William L. Federspiel, the department and a number of unnamed sheriff deputies. The lawsuit alleges that Federspiel and members of his department seized, then sold, hundreds of thousands of dollars in property belonging to the couple before the final determination of for feitability.
In April 2008, the department received search warrants to search a farmhouse in Shiawassee County owned by the Ostipows, who lived a half-mile down the street in their longtime residence.
The search warrants were issued by Saginaw Count judges, said Outside Legal Counsel, which is representing the Ostipows.
But it’s unclear why the Saginaw County officers were in a neighboring county’s jurisdiction and didn’t get search warrants from Shiawassee County judges.
The farmhouse, which was being renovated by Gerald Ostipow, was occupied by his adult son, Steven, and the property’s outbuildings were used for storage.
When the sheriff’s deputies searched the farmhouse they found marijuana plants and seeds grown by Steven Ostipow, but his parents have denied knowledge of his illicit activities, their lawyers said.
That’s when the Ostipow’s property stored in the Shiawassee farmhouse and outbuildings were seized by the Saginaw County officers, despite Gerald and Royetta not being charged with any drug-related crimes.
The deputies seized dozens of animal mounts, tools, deer blinds and farm equipment from the farmhouse property. 
They also took a 1965 Chevy Nova SS that was being renovated and stored on a trailer..."

9/11 Anniversary: Fifteen Years Later, Islamic Jihadism Is Still a Threat | National Review

9/11 Anniversary: Fifteen Years Later, Islamic Jihadism Is Still a Threat | National Review:

"Carved into the memorial — the point of which is to signify that which we must never forget — is the factual assertion that, on September 11, 2001, “nineteen Islamic terrorists” carried out coordinated suicide-hijacking attacks against the United States.

The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier has decided that the monument is dangerous because it “could encourage hatred toward Muslims.” Fifteen years on, we are supposed to believe that the danger we face is not an enduring global threat fueled by an ideology drawn directly from Islamic scripture; the danger lies in speaking honestly about the threat."

Clinton Collapse: Is Hillary Clinton Going To Drop Out Of The Race For The White House?

Clinton Collapse: Is Hillary Clinton Going To Drop Out Of The Race For The White House?
What was once unthinkable has now become a very real possibility.  
We have all seen the video which shows Hillary Clinton fainting and collapsing into the arms of Secret Service agents as she waited to get into her van following an abrupt exit from a ceremony commemorating the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  
What has been obvious to many of us for quite a while is now being talked about on every political talk show in America.  
Not too long ago, you were called a “conspiracy theorist” if you dared to question Clinton’s health, but today it is the central issue of the presidential campaign.  With less than two months to go until election day, all of a sudden we are facing some unprecedented scenarios.  
Last month, I openly pondered if Clinton’s rapidly declining health would allow her to make it to election day, and today it is being reported that Democratic operatives are scrambling to figure out who would replace her if she does decide to drop out.  
This has already been the craziest election season in modern times, and I have a feeling that it is about to get even crazier.

For Clinton, it isn’t just the fact that she collapsed in public that has her in trouble.  
An even bigger issue is the fact that her campaign willingly chose to lie about her health status, and this even has many Democrats up in arms.  
The following comes from an excellent piece by Damon Linker…

After Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia and put on antibiotics, she did not, as her physician recommended, take time out to rest. Instead, she attended a fundraiser featuring Barbra Streisand. Then on Sunday morning, she attended the 9/11 commemoration, became “overheated,” and woozily wobbled rather dramatically. Ninety minutes later she exited her daughter Chelsea’s apartment building to tell the press she was “feeling great.” The Secret Service permitted a young girl to come over to give the candidate a hug.

It was only a few hours later when her campaign finally announced that she has pneumonia and is recovering.

The most charitable reading of this timeline is that her campaign — presumably with the blessing and perhaps insistence of the candidate — fully intended to keep her illness a secret from the public. Let’s be clear about what this means: Her campaign intended to lie.

Of course the Clintons have made a career out of lying, and Hillary’s trail of lies has been well documented, but this may be the lie that breaks the camel’s back.

So now that the story has changed several times, are we supposed to trust them when they tell us that Hillary Clinton truly does have pneumonia?

Surprisingly, this might actually be the truth.

But instead of bacterial or viral pneumonia, Hillary Clinton may have something called aspiration pneumonia.

Aspiration pneumonia is the leading cause of death for those suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, and if you have not read the article that I did linking Hillary Clinton with Parkinson’s Disease you can find it right here.  A case of aspiration pneumonia would explain all of the coughing fits that Clinton has been experiencing, and it would be perfectly consistent with what Dr. Ted Noel and other health professionals have been saying about her medical condition..."

When Liberty Forces 18 Girls Into a Single-Stall Shower Room

When Liberty Forces 18 Girls Into a Single-Stall Shower Room:

"Not surprisingly, many girls have been distressed by the actions of the male student, which include twerking, grinding, and other sexually explicit actions. The response of the district and other authorities to the concerns has been a collective yawn.

This, along with recent actions by President Barack Obama’s Department of Education and Justice Department, illustrates the evolution of the push to manufacture special privileges for a select few."

Who does the U.S. actually owe $16.7 trillion to?

Who does the U.S. actually owe $16.7 trillion to?:
"Although investors are worried about the government's current shutdown, there's greater concern about the debt ceiling -- the $16.7 trillion dollar limit on how much the U.S. government can borrow. If the limit isn't raised by October 17th, it could create a potential economic disaster. 
Marketplace's Paddy Hirsch says while we often think of our debt as owed to foreign countries, America owes a lot of money to sources closer to home -- namely ourselves.
Large institutions, individual investors, social security -- are all big buyers of U.S. bonds.
But even regular Americans indirectly own a large chunk of our national debt -- through their 401(k) plans, retirement accounts, etc.
They're buying U.S. bonds, which is lending money to the government.
"So in actual fact, we are lending money to ourselves and we’re actually borrowing money from ourselves," he says.
Hirsch says if we default on our debt, we won't be able to pay the interest on the money that we already owe.
If the government doesn't raise the debt ceiling, borrowing costs will go up, and as a result Americans would have to spend a lot less. 
"And that means we'll have to shrink government to a really, really small size," he says. 
"We’d be laying off millions of people who are employed by the government right now, which would sent unemployment through the roof, and then we’d risk a really serious depression.""

West Point: “Valid Concerns” About Post-Game Football Prayer

"The top general at the U.S. Military Academy said Army’s head football coach “crossed the line” with a post-game locker room prayer and admitted that critics had “valid concerns” about Constitutional violations. 

“It creates an atmosphere where it is expected from everybody to say a prayer regardless of their faith or no faith,” Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen told the Washington Post in an exclusive interview. 

The controversy arose after Coach Jeff Monken asked a staff assistant to lead the football team in a prayer after their upset victory over Temple University. It was first reported by Army Times.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, filed a complaint over the post-game petition to the Almighty.
They alleged that 90 West Point graduates, staff members and football players were apparently horrified that young men were praying in a locker room.

MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein contacted Caslen and shortly afterwards - a video of the prayer was removed from school’s Facebook page. The military then edited out the prayer and reposted the video.

...Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin told me he was disgusted by the military’s capitulation to Weinstein. 

“This is a typical reaction by the Obama Army,” he said.
“It reflects an atmosphere and environment that has been created that is hostile towards Christianity.”

Boykin warned that cracking down on post-game prayers at West Point is simply the latest in a series of blatant attacks on Christianity within the Armed Forces. 

“Every vestige of Christianity is being driven underground in the military” he told me. 

I can only imagine what Lt. Gen. Caslen would’ve done had he discovered Gen. George Washington praying at Valley Forge. 

Can you imagine what West Point would've done if they caught George Washington doing this?

Clinton team avoided ER to conceal details of her medical treatment

Clinton team avoided ER to conceal details of her medical treatment | New York Post:
"Hillary Clinton was headed to an emergency room following her frightening collapse at the Sept. 11 memorial ceremony — but detoured to daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment to keep details of her medical treatment under wraps, The Post has learned.
Secret Service protocol called for the Democratic presidential nominee to be rushed to a state-designated Level I Trauma Center in the wake of her Sunday morning health crisis, sources said.
In Manhattan, that would be Bellevue Hospital.
But a campaign operative decided to change course to avoid having Clinton seen by doctors, nurses and other medical workers who could leak details to reporters, according to a source.
In addition, Clinton’s van was supposed to be escorted by an NYPD protective detail, but the Secret Service whisked her away from Ground Zero before cops could accompany her, another source said.
The former secretary of state had told police officials that she didn’t want the escort at all, but the NYPD overruled that request, the source added..."

The Video That Just May Sink Hillary's Ship... » Louder With Crowder
"This week, AmericaRising released an ad on Hillary Clinton.1  
I usually don’t like, nor commentate on these kinds of ads.

But this ad, is without a doubt, the most effective anti-campaign ad that I’ve ever seen.  

And it shows Conservatives the blueprint on how to beat Hillary.  

Attack the dishonesty.  

I’ve been saying this for years.

Hillary Clinton is more than a slimy politician, she’s a compulsive liar.  

She lies about big things, but more importantly, she lies about little things when she thinks that nobody’s watching.15 

For no reason!  

Ignore the “sexism” claims from the left, speak freely, and focus on this. 

Watch below. 

It’s a must.

Blog: Hillary’s health suddenly legitimized as campaign issue by fainting episode at 9/11 memorial service:

"All the sneering of the left and their media enablers over “conspiracy theories” about Hillary’s health can no longer contain the explosive issue of her physical fitness for office.  At a moment the nation’s eyes were focused on her and her rival at the 9/11 ceremonies in New York City, she demonstrated a fragile constitution and looked like death warmed over)."

What If You Were Mistakenly Put on a Watchlist?

What If You Were Mistakenly Put on a Watchlist? - Reason.com:
"In the 1985 dystopian science fiction movie Brazil the plot centers on the authorities' apprehension of an innocent man named Archibald Buttle.
He was mistaken for the outlaw, Archibald Tuttle, after a fly landed on a printer head in a government office, thus causing the "T" to print as a "B" on the arrest warrant.
...Same goes with those "no fly" lists that the Transportation Security Administration uses to keep suspected terrorists off airplanes.
The lists and their criteria are secret. 
There's no due process, meaning that if you get pulled out of line you have no way to appeal that decision. 
The New York Times reported on an 8-year-old who a few years ago was stuck on a TSA "watch" list.
Often, people with names similar to someone else's—think Buttle versus Tuttle—get stopped.
Liberals can be just as unconcerned as conservatives over the veracity of these lists.
...No one wants dangerous people to have access to an arsenal, but we again run up against the problem of lists.
Anyone who has compiled lists realizes how quickly they become out of date, or how easy it is for a clerk to misspell a name.
An analysis of the APPS list from the state auditor and a gun-rights group found that anywhere from 37 percent to 60 percent of the people on the list actually had a legal right to still own firearms.
In a free society, it's not OK for an innocent person to have guns confiscated or kept from flying because of some mistaken entry on a ledger.
It's infuriating how difficult it is to clear one's name after an error is detected..."

More refugees coming to Ann Arbor area for 'safe haven' resettlement

More refugees coming to Ann Arbor area for 'safe haven' resettlement | MLive.com:
"ANN ARBOR, MI –  Samaritas, Michigan's largest refugee resettlement agency and the fourth largest in the nation, has been approved by the U.S. State Department to begin resettling refugees in the Ann Arbor area.
One of the state's largest faith-based nonprofits, Samaritas is now expanding its office at 2770 Carpenter Road, where it offers foster care services, to create space for refugee resettlement staff, including at least one case worker.
...The Ann Arbor City Council has gone on record indicating it wants the city to be a welcoming place for refugees and Samaritas has taken note.
As the surge of refugees increases, driven primarily by larger numbers of Syrian refugees seeking safe haven, finding adequate, safe housing for new Americans is a challenge, according to Samaritas.
...Refugees may find themselves living in Ypsilanti, Westland, Inkster, Northville and parts of Ann Arbor, according to this week's announcement from Samaritas.
...Samaritas also operates refugee resettlement offices in Troy, Grand Rapids and Battle Creek, and now Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo are added to the list..."

The Falling Man

The Falling Man:

Do you remember this photograph? 

In the United States, people have taken pains to banish it from the record of September 11, 2001. 

The story behind it, though, and the search for the man pictured in it, are our most intimate connection to the horror of that day.

In the picture, he departs from this earth like an arrow. 
Although he has not chosen his fate, he appears to have, in his last instants of life, embraced it. 
If he were not falling, he might very well be flying. 
He appears relaxed, hurtling through the air. 
He appears comfortable in the grip of unimaginable motion. 
He does not appear intimidated by gravity's divine suction or by what awaits him. 
His arms are by his side, only slightly outriggered. 
His left leg is bent at the knee, almost casually. 
His white shirt, or jacket, or frock, is billowing free of his black pants. 
His black high-tops are still on his feet. 
In all the other pictures, the people who did what he did—who jumped—appear to be struggling against horrific discrepancies of scale..." 

2016’s Happiest States in America

2016’s Happiest States in America | WalletHub®:
"Can money truly buy happiness? 
Most people might be inclined to say based on moral principles.
But some researchers beg to differ, suggesting that money can indeed contribute to happiness — but only up to a certain dollar amount.
According to their findings, life satisfaction, one of the two main components of happiness, increases as income rises — to a maximum of $75,000 a year. 
Beyond that figure, money makes little difference in a person’s overall contentment with life.
Reinforcing those findings are the annual results of a Gallup-Healthways poll measuring global well-being.
According to Gallup-Healthways, “People who make more money tend to report higher positive emotions.”
But income isn’t the only determinant of personal happiness. 
Apart from financial security, a pleasant state of being also depends on other factors, such as one’s physical health, personal purpose and social connectivity.
WalletHub’s analysts considered all of these elements to determine which states are home to the happiest Americans.
In order to do so, we compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 28 key metrics, ranging from emotional health to income levels to sports participation rates.
Our findings, additional expert commentary and a detailed methodology can be found below..."
