Obama's "Dangerous Hands" and the Security Breakdown
Even when "60 Minutes" does a very worthwhile show, it still has to bow at the altar of political correctness. Hence, the program, "Into Dangerous Hands," about flaws in the security clearance process, was itself flawed in a very strange way. Correspondent Scott Pelley danced around the issue of illegal leaker and former Army analyst Bradley/Chelsea Manning being a sexual pervert.
Pelley focused on three people who had security clearances and either stole and leaked classified documents or committed mass murder. They were Manning, Edward Snowden, and Aaron Alexis. Before getting into some dramatic new information about all three of them, Pelley said, "Some believe Snowden and Manning were right to expose what they saw as government abuses —like the NSA's domestic surveillance program."
These "some" are those who condone illegal behavior that benefits America's enemies, such as Russia and China.
CBS interviewed a number of people who discussed terrible problems in the process of granting security clearances. One of the most significant was former Army specialist Jihrleah Showman, who supervised Bradley/Chelsea Manning in Iraq. Showman "was tasked with controlling security clearances for her unit and keeping secure facilities safe," CBS noted. She said she had reason to doubt Manning's loyalty to America and told her superiors she thought he was a spy. She told Pelley that even before the unit deployed to Iraq, she had grave concerns about Manning.
This is from the CBS account: "His behavior was erratic, she says, and he told her he had 'no allegiance' to America. But when she tried to alert her superiors, she says, she was told they couldn't afford to lose someone with a valuable top-secret clearance."
CBS added, "In Iraq, Manning was prone to fits of rage, Showman says, even punching her at one point. She says she also saw him bring CDs and a camera into a high-security intelligence vault, where classified material was kept. Over eight months, Manning used the CDs to record hundreds of thousands of secrets, delivering them to the website WikiLeaks. In 2013, Manning was convicted of espionage and other charges, and sentenced to 35 years in prison."
CBS forgot to mention one thing: he was an active homosexual at the time he was in the Army.
Viewers may have gotten a hint of that, since Manning has changed his name from male to female. Pelley noted that he now considered himself a "transgender woman." But the fact that he was an active homosexual at the time of his treachery is a big part of the story. At the time he was out of the closet and advertising his perversion, a law was still in place banning displays of open homosexuality in the Armed Forces.
Manning had been an active participant in the homosexual subculture, under the noses of his military superiors, and even went to gay bars. He advertised his homosexuality on Facebook.
However, it was known that the Obama administration was moving toward the acceptance of homosexuals in the military at that time.
We noted that Manning was a pervert who should have been booted out of the Army and should never have received a security clearance. We added, "The key question—not pursued by the media—is why Manning was allowed to remain in the Army when he was acting in violation of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' policy."
In 2010, we asked, "Who in the Obama administration—and the Department of Defense—was aware of his conduct and looked the other way? Was Manning given a pass because his 'lifestyle' was considered to be in favor and acceptable under the Obama administration?"
Manning had claimed connections inside the Pentagon and the White House. But our media never followed up.
"60 Minutes" got into some of this, but still ignores the big issue—promotion of homosexuality by the Obama administration. The Department of Defense had a liberal policy about gays in the military, in deference to the wishes of the Commander-in-Chief.
Our conclusion at the time is still valid: the buck stops with President Obama, whose announced desire to overturn the homosexual exclusion policy was undoubtedly a factor in Army officials looking the other way on Manning.
Yet, in reviewing the problems in the security clearance process, Pelley never once put any blame on the President of the United States.
In addition, Pelley never mentioned another critical fact: President Obama, the person ultimately in charge of the security clearance process, did not go through any kind of security clearance background investigation at all.
The title of the piece came from Pelley's observation that there were "shortcuts" in the security clearance process that had put American security "into dangerous hands." One of the biggest shortcuts, or loopholes, is the failure to make sure that federal elected officials are loyal to the United States.
Former FBI agent Max Noel told me the Bureau used to investigate candidates for federal employment by analyzing Character, Associates, Reputation, and Loyalty to the United States. The first letters in those words make up the acronym CARL. Noel told me that Obama could not have been elected president if he had been subjected to the CARL test.
One reason for this has been cited by Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, who has questioned the scrutiny he's been given over issues in his background that occurred 40 or 50 years ago. "I do not remember this level of scrutiny for one President Barack Obama, when he was running," Carson said. "In fact, I remember just the opposite, I remember people just said: Oh, we won't really talk about that. We won't talk about that relationship; well, Frank Marshall Davis, oh, we don't want to talk about that. Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers—yeah, well, he didn't really know him. You know, all the things that Jeremiah Wright was saying—ehh, not a big problem. Goes to Occidental college, doesn't do all that well, and somehow ends up at Columbia University. Well, I dunno. His records are sealed. Why are his records sealed? Why are you guys not interested in why his records are sealed? Why are you not interested in that? Let me ask that: Can somebody tell me why, please?"
Technically, Obama's records haven't been "sealed;" he has just refused to release them.
But Carson's reference to the media being derelict in regard to investigating Obama's communist connections, such as his mentor Frank Marshall Davis, is backed up by the evidence.
Our media don't want to come to grips with this part of Obama's background for several different reasons, including that it is a factor that would have prevented Obama from getting a security clearance in the government he now heads.
Into dangerous hands? Yes, indeed.

Bergdahl case: U.S. Army as Obama's political lapdog? Read more: Family Security Matters
By: LAWRENCE SELLIN, PHD
Security Family Matters
On the night of June 30, 2009, then Army Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl went missing. On July 2, 2009, the Pentagon said that Bergdahl had walked off his base in eastern Afghanistan with three Afghan counterparts and was believed to have been taken prisoner. Bergdahl's commanding officers said that a vigorous, but unsuccessful 45-day search for Bergdahl put soldiers in danger. During his nearly five years as a captive of the Taliban, the Army twice promoted Bergdahl, first to the rank of specialist in June 2010, then to the rank of sergeant in June 2011. On May 31, 2014, Bergdahl was released from captivity in exchange for five senior Taliban commanders held at Guantanamo Bay in a controversial deal negotiated by the Obama Administration.
In June 2014, Major General Kenneth Dahl was assigned to lead the Army's investigation into the 2009 disappearance and capture of Bergdahl. In August 2014, Dahl interviewed Bergdahl. In December 2014, after a comprehensive legal review, the Dahl investigation was forwarded to a General Courts Martial Convening Authority, Gen. Mark Milley, commanding general of Forces Command.
On March 25, 2015, the Army announced, based on Gen. Milley's recommendation, that it was charging Bergdahl with misbehavior before the enemy and desertion, carrying a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
On May 13, 2015, Gen. Mark Milley was nominated to be the next Army chief of staff.
In April 2015, an Article 32 hearing of the Bergdahl evidence was scheduled for July 8. 2015. An Article 32 hearing is similar to the civilian evidentiary or probable cause hearing to determine, after a criminal complaint has been filed, whether there is enough evidence to require a trial. In June 2015, at the request of the defense, the Article 32 hearing was postponed until September 17, 2015.
According to one report of the September 17th Article 32 hearing, Army prosecutors presented a very weak case in support of the charges against Bergdahl. They chose not to call any of Bergdahl's enlisted comrades who had a very different impression of his behavior than the one Bergdahl gave to investigators. Prosecutors also did not call any witnesses to support the argument that the Army lost men trying to recover Bergdahl.
Remarkably, or perhaps not so, the Army has allegedly buried recordings of signals surveillance in Afghanistan from July 1-2, 2009, days after his disappearance, where Taliban are talking on Bergdahl's own phone saying he wanted to join them and other recordings where the Taliban, on their phones, are talking about Bergdahl trying to join them.
In an even more bizarre twist of events, the investigating officer, Major General Kenneth Dahl, appeared as a defense witness, where he provided exculpatory "psychological" evidence, describing Bergdahl as a confused, poorly adjusted idealist who doesn't deserve further punishment.
Not surprisingly, the presiding officer of the Article 32 hearing, Lt. Col. Mark Visger has reportedly recommended a special court-martial for Bergdahl, rather than a general court-martial, the former being essentially a military version of a misdemeanor court. The special court martial carries with it a maximum penalty of 12 months of confinement, forfeiture of two-thirds of a service member's pay for a year, reduction in rank to private and a bad-conduct discharge.
According to Bergdahl's lawyer, Eugene Fidell, Lt. Col. Visger called for even lighter penalties than that, recommending against both a bad-conduct discharge and confinement, potentially allowing Bergdahl to receive some military benefits after he leaves the Army.
All of this raises some interesting questions.
If Maj. Gen. Dahl did not feel that Bergdahl deserved further punishment, why did Gen. Milley approve such serious charges as desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, instead of recommending leniency? Or, like Obama's Rose Garden ceremony with Bergdahl's parents, was that "bad optics" for Gen. Milley, who would soon appear before the Senate for Chief of Staff confirmation hearings? Did he go with the more serious charges deliberately, with the administration's subtle blessing, confident that, in the end, the Article 32 would go nowhere?
Some final questions.
Will Bergdahl get less than a slap on the wrist? Will Maj. Gen. Dahl soon get his third star and will Lt. Col. Visger, as quickly, get promoted to full colonel?
Given the disturbing "optics" of the Bergdahl case and the allegations against CENTCOM concerning the manipulation of intelligence, should we now consider the military as nothing more than political operatives of the Obama Administration?

Green Beret Discharged for Trying to Protect Muslim Boy From Child Rapist
By: Dave Gibson
UFP News
The Obama administration is discharging Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland, an 11-year veteran of the U.S. Army's Green Berets. The highly-decorated soldier who spent two tours of duty in Afghanistan, will be "involuntary discharged" from the Army by Nov. 1, 2015.
So, just how did Sgt. Martland, a Bronze Star recipient, get on the bad side of Obama's Defense Department?
Fox News reported:
One day in early September 2011 at their remote outpost, a young Afghan boy and his Afghan-Uzbek mother showed up at camp. The 12-year-old showed the Green Berets where his hands had been tied. A medic took him to a back room for an examination with an interpreter, who told them the boy had been raped by another commander by the name of Abdul Rahman.
After learning of the meeting, Rahman allegedly beat the boy's mother for reporting the crime. It was at this point, the Green Berets had had enough. [Lt. Daniel] Quinn and Martland went to confront Rahman.
"He confessed to the crime and laughed about it, and said it wasn't a big deal. Even when we patiently explained how serious the charge was, he kept laughing," Quinn said.
The outraged soldiers reportedly physically attacked the Afghani child molester, and the commander walked away with only a few bruises after the incident.
Martland and Quinn were actually taken off of their original mission at this point and sent to another region of Afghanistan. Both men were eventually sent home before their deployment was scheduled to end.
Quinn has since left the Army.
In February 2015, the Army conducted a "Qualitative Management Program" review board, and ordered that Martland be "involuntary discharged" from the Army by Nov. 1, 2015.
Of course, child rape is as much a part of Muslim culture, as is baseball to Americans.
"We had been hearing for months about raping in our province, not just in Afghanistan," Lt. Quinn told Fox News.
In fact, in 2012, Pentagon lawyers, at the request of the Obama administration drafted an Army manual which forbade any criticism of child molestation by troops serving in Muslim countries.
The 75-page handbook stated troops should avoid "making derogatory comments about the Taliban, advocating women's rights, any criticism of pedophilia, directing any criticism towards Afghans, mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct" or "anything related to Islam," Judicial Watch reported.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Ashston Carter, U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter said:
SFC Martland acknowledged he was wrong to strike the ALP (Afhgan Local Police) commander, but according to SFC Martland, he and others felt they could no longer stand by and allow the ALP to commit atrocities. To intervene was a moral decision, and SFC Martland and his Special Forces team felt they had no choice but to respond.
Thus far, the Obama administration has yet to respond to Rep. Hunter's request that Sgt. Martland be allowed to stay in the Army, and the Green Beret is facing a discharge which could come at any time now.
Meanwhile, our tax dollars are paying the salaries of child rapists in Afghanistan.
As Obama stated in his book, "Dreams From My Father," he "will stand with Muslims!"

Putin Threatens America with Nuclear Annihilation
The nation is fiercely debating the Iran nuclear deal and the significance of the Ayatollah's "death to America" tweets when the real problem is Iran's sponsor, Russia, and its lunatic ruler, Vladimir Putin. By controlling the media, killing off the opposition, and smearing Ukrainian freedom fighters as Nazis, the former KGB colonel has his country worked into a collective frenzy over a concocted Western threat. Some experts believe Russia is preparing for nuclear war on a global scale. If Putin carries out his threats, America is no more.
In this case, the U.S. is facing not only a nuclear weapons program, which is the case with Iran, but what our top generals are calling an "existential threat" to our survival as a nation.
As the National Institute for Public Policy documents in the report, "Foreign Nuclear Developments: A Gathering Storm," Russia has a new military doctrine that anticipates using nuclear weapons, and the regime has embarked on "a massive strategic modernization program to deploy new nuclear weapons and delivery systems."
Not only that, but Russia has a ballistic missile defense to use against us.
Geopolitical analyst Jeff Nyquist tells Accuracy in Media, "The Russians became angry and threatening when NATO tried to build a very modest missile defense system to stop an Iranian missile. Yet Russia has over 10,000 dual purpose SAM/ABMs for defense against our missiles and will be deploying a new ABM prototype next year."
He adds, "Russia has potential war winning advantages over the U.S. and NATO—not necessarily in the number of nuclear weapons but in the number of its ABM batteries, and the upgrading of these batteries with a new generation of interceptor rockets while the American side makes no effort in this direction. The U.S. ABMs in Alaska and California would be lucky to stop 12 Russian warheads."
Despite the preoccupation with Iran's nuclear program, Iran currently has nothing of that nature which can threaten the homeland of the United States. Yet, Russia can obliterate the United States, a fact that has been highlighted recently by no less than three top American generals. The term, "existential threat," has been used repeatedly to describe the Russian challenge. That term means the Russians can destroy the United States as a nation.
Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, nominated to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, "If you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the United States, I'd have to point to Russia."
His statement, made during his Senate confirmation hearing on July 9, got a significant amount of media attention. Similar warnings came from Army General Mark A. Milley, commander of U.S. Forces Command, who has been nominated to become the next Army chief of staff, and Air Force General Paul Selva, nominated to become Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Dunford and the other generals acknowledge the real or potential nuclear threats from Iran, North Korea, and China. But it's Russia that is deemed an "existential threat." It is the most significant.
Some conservatives have been complaining that patriotic military officers are being purged from the Armed Forces. Well, it appears that the purge missed Generals Dunford, Milley, and Selva. These generals are taking a risk by going against the conventional wisdom of the Obama administration. Indeed, the White House and the State Department have gone out of their way to say that the Obama administration does not agree with the assessment that Russia is an existential threat to the United States.
For the generals to go public in this manner—and to contradict the official stance of the Obama administration—suggests that the threat from Russia is very real indeed, and may be more serious than they are willing to publicly acknowledge.
When you consider how the Iran nuclear deal came about, you begin to realize how serious it is. Obama actually thanked Putin for bringing it about.
The CNN story, "Obama, Putin congratulate each other for Iran deal," demonstrates the nature of the problem. Although the story is designed to highlight the alleged positive roles Obama and Putin played in the deal, CNN reported that in a readout of the conversation between the two leaders, "the White House said Obama thanked Putin for Russia's role in the Iran nuclear negotiations."
Thanked Putin? This demonstrates something worse than the deal itself and the real nature of the Iranian threat. Putin should thank Obama because the U.S. is helping Iran, Russia's client state, get tens of billions of dollars in international financial aid. Down the line, Russia gets U.S. approval to supply more weapons to the anti-American regime.
Iran is certainly a potential nuclear threat to Israel, the so-called "little Satan." But the U.S. is the "Great Satan," and our biggest nuclear threat at the current time is Russia, as our top military officers have said. Yet, Obama is treating Putin as an ally.
Israel and its defenders have to come to grips with the fact that Iran is a threat to the Jewish state, the region, and the world because of its Russian sponsorship. Iran can't be viewed in isolation, apart from Russia. Indeed, Iran is considered to be part of a "strategic alliance" with Russia.
As we have noted on several occasions, the Iranian Ayatollah, Ali Khamenei, is KGB-trained, having been "educated" at the KGB's Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. This means he is under Russian influence, if not an agent.
Obama has a blind spot regarding threats from the Islamic world, and that includes Iran. But his unwillingness to face up to the Russian threat, which is more serious than any on the face of the earth today, puts the very existence of the United States in jeopardy.
Remember that Obama mocked Mitt Romney's statement during the 2012 campaign that Russia was our geopolitical adversary. Obama hasn't learned anything, despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He keeps refusing to supply Ukraine with heavy weapons to defend themselves. Praising the Russians for their role in the Iran deal signals something worse than just incompetence. It appears that Russia is exercising some sort of control over the Obama administration.
We got a taste of that control when it was reported that, on Independence Day, the Kremlin announced that Putin had sent Happy July 4th greetings to Obama. We only later learned that Putin, on the same day, had also sent nuclear-capable Russian bombers off the coast of California that had to be intercepted by American aircraft.
This duplicity is another sign of the lunatic mindset of the former KGB spy running the show in Moscow. This nuclear blackmail is much more serious than a tweet from the Iranian Ayatollah showing Obama with a gun to his head. Putin has a nuclear gun pointed at America and we have practically no defense against it.

Forum: What Was Your Reaction To The Chattanooga Attack?
Every week on Monday morning, the Council and our invited guests weigh in at the Watcher's Forum with short takes on a major issue of the day, the culture, or daily living. This week's question: What Was Your Reaction To The Chattanooga Attack?
Don Surber: C-in-C should order every officer (commissioned and non-com) to carry a sidearm when on duty stateside. Exemptions for chaplains and working physicians. Maybe a few other MOS. National Guard and reservists would be up to the discretion of commanders as a matter of protocol, while preserving the authority to order so. Any civilian who feels uncomfortable can kindly resign/retire from DoD.
Puma By Design: Courtesy of the dysfunction in the present administration, America's enemies are at war with us on U.S. soil empowered by our so-called leaders who are in denial, stupid and in the pockets of our enemies while at the same time, refusing to call this evil by its name.
America's enemies are targeting our service members and their families because it is a known fact that they are not armed.
ARM THEM. They have the right to defend themselves…and us ON American soil.
GrEaT sAtAn"S gIrLfRiEnD: Gun free zones get people killed.
In Chattanooga, the dark one liner is "From DUI and weed to J!had in 90 days." Busted in April, it appears he made a fast conversion to violence.
We often prided ourselves here about our easy going laissez-faire attitude. Not anymore. Was this cat self radicalized? Inspired by the mosque? Both? Doesn't really matter now as armed vigilance is replacing the Coexist stickers and memes.
We really need all the prayers and good vibes y'all may send.
JoshuaPundit: Unfortunately, the minute I heard about this atrocity, I knew exactly what was coming. The theme by the media, assorted political figures and the Obama Regime, as always, was to repeat the mantra of 'senseless violence.' Hillary Clinton said it, as did the president, Defense Secretary Ash Carter, Florida senators Bill Nelson (Democrat) and Marco Rubio (Republican).
And of course, no one can imagine why this happened. Nothing to do with Islam, surely! The Pentagon will investigate this for months to let everybody forget about it, and our president will determine what they'll say. They can't call it workplace violence like Fort Hood this time, but maybe they can work the mental health angle. Never mind that every attack involving Muslims resulting in mass casualties or attacks on military facilities like this has been jihadist in nature.
These attacks are not senseless violence. They are directed attacks, whether carried out by so-called lone wolves or otherwise. The orders are in the Qu'ran, and there's enough evidence on Mohammed AbdulAzeez's computer thus far to show the usual pattern – jihadist social media, and as I'm sure we'll eventually find out, a jihad preaching mosques with a radical, Islamist imam somewhere in the picture.
Since 9/11. we, or at least the people we've chosen to lead us have made the point time and time again that we're 'not at war with Islam.' Maybe, but anyone observing the world as it is would have to be in a coma not realize that a significant part of Islam's adherents consider themselves at war with us. That, or willfully deceptive.
A normal country faced by these kind of facts would secure its borders, limit visas to countries where jihadists and Islamists tend to thrive, and vet very carefully those visas that were approved. It would place Islamist front groups as well as mosques and madrassahs under close scrutiny and eliminate those preaching jihad, radicalizing young Muslims and/or thought to be a security risk. Most important, government facilities like military recruiting offices or bases that are obvious targets would be hardened and guarded with armed security.
We are doing none of these things. In fact, since Barack Hussein Obama became president, we're doing exactly the opposite. There have been numerous attacks, planned and executed against U.S. military facilities on his watch, and yet, the mantra coming out of the White House is always the same..'senseless violence.'
Here's a thought as uncomfortable for me to write as it may be for you to read. The four Marines and the Navy Petty officer whom were murdered in Chattanooga may be mourned by us, but in a very real sense, we have their blood on our hands for not calling our elected officials to account…especially this president.
The one covenant a leader has with those he or she rules is to protect a country's sovereignty, its people and its borders. America does not have that.
If we had any national self respect we would be thronging by thousands in the Capital, and flooding the congressional switch boards demanding this president's impeachment. We would be insisting on immediate action to remedy this situation rather than sitting back placidly waiting for the next attack.
We would be screaming bloody murder.
The Right Planet: My initial reaction was one of outrage, followed by profound sadness for the families and friends of those murdered in cold blood in Chattanooga. You know, it's not like ISIS and its ilk haven't expressed their desire and intent to kill members of our military right here at home. Furthermore, there have been some 34 service personnel killed at military facilities within the United States on Obama's watch—specifically, one soldier killed at a Little Rock recruiting station in 2009, 13 murdered at Fort Hood in the same year, three more killed at Fort Hood in 2014, 12 killed at the Washington Navy Yard two years ago, and now four Marines and one Navy petty officer are dead in Chattanooga. Several state governors, including my own, have ordered their National Guardsmen to start carrying weapons. But, to my knowledge, no such orders have been given at the federal level to allow U.S. troops the ability to defend themselves.
Via the LA Times:
Despite being active-duty servicemen with military weapons training, few of the victims in these attacks had an opportunity to defend themselves, thanks to Department of Defense Directive 5210.56, enacted in 1992 under President George H.W. Bush.
That policy strictly limits the military and civilian personnel who can carry firearms at military facilities to those in law enforcement or security roles. U.S. bases and recruiting centers have been "gun-free zones" ever since.
There have been recent reports of civilians with legal-carry permits standing guard at a few recruitment centers. How messed up are things in this country when civilians must provide security for own troops? Enough, already … ARM OUR TROOPS!
Laura Rambeau Lee, Right Reason: What is my reaction to this terrorist attack? I am at once saddened at the tragic loss of life of four Marines and one sailor, yet angered that this has happened again on America soil.
The shooter's name was Muhammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, a 24 year old Kuwaiti born naturalized American citizen whom friends described as a "devout Muslim." It is reported he traveled to Jordan in 2014 and to Kuwait and Jordan in 2010. Friends said he changed after his last trip to the Middle East.
In a media/theater of the absurd, we are being told not to jump to any conclusions about his motivation for these attacks. Isn't it time we got past wanting to know the shooter's motivation in these all too familiar scenarios? No one questioned Dylan Roof's motivation for his slaughter of nine Black church members in Charleston, South Carolina. It was racism – end of story.
Reports are coming out that Adbulazeez suffered from depression. Perhaps a religion that teaches hatred of all non-believers and rewards martyred jihadis with seventy-three virgins might lead to depression… and violence.
I am mad that the rules on military bases and these recruitment centers prohibit our service members from being armed. At the very least, this policy should be changed immediately. They must be able to carry firearms, especially knowing they have been specifically targeted by ISIS for attacks. To have served heroically overseas and then to return home only to be attacked in a store front recruiting center should send chills down everyone's spines, and maybe wake up some. President Obama says we are not at war with Islam, but we should be past the point of acknowledging radical Islamists are at war with us.
The Glittering Eye: It's early days in the investigation yet and I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. I say at this point let the investigation takes its course.
I'm willing to let the Pentagon decide whether soldiers in recruitment centers or on military bases carry sidearms or whether they should be ordered to do so.
As of this writing whether there are ties to Al Qaeda or DAESH, whether the perpetrator of the murders was mentally ill or not, and just what lead him to kill people are all unknown. Policy considerations need to be conditioned on actual circumstances rather than imagined ones. Maybe he was radicalized on the Internet or self-radicalized or had some conversion experience on a visit to family in Jordan. We just don't know.
Ask Marion: ARM THEM! ARM THEM! ARM THEM! Arm all military personnel on American soil!!
The wolf is no longer at the door, America's enemies are at war with us on U. S. soil!! America's enemies are targeting our service members and their families and they know they are not armed. Let them carry a sidearm when on duty stateside.
ARM THEM… They have the right to defend themselves…and us ON home soil. As Judge Jeanine Pirro said in her opening statement this past weekend: They Want To Kill Us, They Determine To kill Us… And They're Here.
Some of the governors have already stepped up in wake of the Chattanooga attacks. Governor Fallin of Oklahoma, has authorized their adjutant general to arm full-time military personnel. Arkansas, Texas and several other state governors have also already stepped up or in the process. Some other groups like Oathkeepers are also meeting.
For anyone who thinks this is extreme, just look at Switzerland, a neutral and one of the most peaceful countries in the world. Every adult is a trained member of the Swiss militia and they keep their weapons at home on the ready. In 2011 the Swiss law and tradition was tested and put to a vote. Let us remember our own history and minutemen who were armed and ready to defend themselves and freedom at a minutes notice and step back to using common sense!!
Well, there you have it.

Details Emerging on Chattanooga Shooter and Family
By: Denise Simon
FoundersCode.com
According to CNN Arabia:
Amman, Jordan (CNN) – Jordanian official said that the shooter in the American civil Chattanooga Tennessee, which led to the deaths of four US Marines Thursday, [was] not a Jordanian citizen, but [held] a Palestinian passport temporarily and without a national number.
The source explained that "after investigations show that the name of the person who launched the attack in Tennessee in the United States, is Mohammed Yousef Saeed Ali Haj, who was born on September 5 / September" in 1990, according to the source. His father moved to live in the United States in 1982.
He added that Mohammed's father had changed his name to Abdul Aziz in 1990, so that became his son's name is Mohammad Yousuf, Abdul Aziz, according to the Jordanian government source, who added that the gunman holds a US passport, and that the son was in Jordan in 2014 on a visit to his uncle.
According to a tip that came into WDEF, Muhammad Abdulazeez was spotted at a gun range just weeks before killing four Marines and one Navy Petty Officer.
Abdulazeez was reportedly spotted with three other men who were wearing long beards like Abdulazeez. All four were reportedly practice shooting.
The claim has not been confirmed by law enforcement but several sources told WDEF the men were likely spotted at Prentice Cooper Gun Range.
When News 12 arrived at the gun range, several men who were practicing shooting said a man who claimed to be a former Marine arrived at the range Saturday morning and said he was doing his own investigation to see if Abdulazeez had been shooting at that location.
The men said he asked multiple groups of people who were at the range.
CBS News is also reporting that Abdulazeez told his co-workers that he and a group of guys recently went shooting at a gun range. CBS News got its information from law enforcement sources who interviewed Abdulazeez's co-workers.
According to a published CBS News report, the men reportedly shot rifles, BB guns and pistols last month.
Abdulazeez had purchased three guns after returning from Jordan, including an AK-74, an AR-15, and a Saiga 12. In the home was also a 9mm and a .22 caliber weapons, it is unclear in whose name those weapons were registered.
From the Center for Security Policy:
As we reported Friday, the Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga (ISGC) is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood through the Hamas-linked North American Islamic Trust (NAIT.) Now new evidence has been revealed showing that ISGC actually raised funds for the building of their new mosque in 2009, by referencing jihad and key Muslim Brotherhood figures.
According to a 2009 Iftar fundraising dinner slide show, first apparently noticed by Twitter user @alimhaider, contained an overt reference to key Muslim Brotherhood figure Yusuf al-Qaradawi.
Shooter's mosque run by MB? http://t.co/lCTuEp6XiZ#Chattanoogapic.twitter.com/d2JsRt8FGs
— A.M.H. (@alimhaider) July 17, 2015
The title of the slide, "In the cause of Allah" is an English translation of Fi Sabil Allah, as in the phrase "Jihad Fisabilallah", which means violent jihad against unbelievers. Classic Islamic law reference book, the Reliance of the Traveller, notes in its index, "Fisabilallah: See Jihad". There is no other reasonable interpretation of the phrase in context.
The reference to jihad in the fundraiser related to the Mosque, was done as a means of explaining that a contribution to the building of the mosque qualified under "Zakat" (annual tithe which is obligatory in Islam), under the category of funding Jihad.
Reliance of the Traveller notes, "The seventh category is those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged in Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army roster (O: but who are volunteers for jihad without remuneration)…"
The slide "Cause of Allah" references Yusuf Al Qaradawi, and S.A.A. Maududi, founder of Pakistani Islamist group Jamaat-e-Islami. Both Qaradawi and Maududi are prolific on the subject of Jihad.
Qaradawi has been noted for his avid support for the terrorist group Hamas and their jihad against Israel, including issuing fatwas authorizing suicide bombing, and has supported jihadist movements in Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and most recently in Egypt. Qaradawi is the leader of the Hamas financing network known as the "Union of the Good", which utilizes Zakat funds received by its charities in order to support Hamas.
In his work, "Islamic Education and Hassan Al Banna," Qaradawi discusses how it was the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) which revitalized the classical concept of Jihad for a modern age:
The aspect of Ikhwani training which makes it eminent and unique is Jehad or crusade i e. : Crusader·like training…The real implication of · Jehad (crusade) had been dismissed from Islamic training and way of life, before its conception among the lkhwans.
And in his "Priorities of the Movement in the Coming phase" Qaradawi says:
…it is a duty to defend every land invaded by infidels, stating that such jihad is imperative for Muslims in this land as an individual obligation and that all Muslims must support them with money, arms and men as required until all their land has been liberated from any aggressor who usurps it. Therefore, the Islamic Movement cannot stand idle and watch while any part of Muslim land is occupied by a foreign aggressor.
The other modern Islamic scholar referenced by the document, Maulana S.A.A. Maududi, was famous for successfully merging classical Islamic concepts of Jihad with a modernist language of revolution. He noted the following in his work "Jihad in Islam":
It must be evident to you from this discussion that the objective of the Islamic 'Jihād' is to eliminate the rule of an un-Islamic system and establish in its stead an Islamic system of state rule. Islam does not intend to confine this revolution to a single state or a few countries; the aim of Islam is to bring about a universal revolution. Although in the initial stages it is incumbent upon members of the party of Islam to carry out a revolution in the State system of the countries to which they belong, but their ultimate objective is no other than to effect a world revolution.
So the Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga announced in 2009 that it openly aligned its views of Jihad with the views of Qaradawi and Maududi, and told its Muslim congregants that donating to the construction of ISGC was permissible, because it represented funding jihad.
Chattanooga shooter Mohammed Yusuf Abdulazeez and his family were regular attendees as ISGC. Despite claims by the mosque leadership that Abdulazeez was a rare attendee or little known there, a photo from a family Facebook account shows that Abdulazeez held his graduation party at the mosque, and that it was well attended, indicating they were well known regulars.
This fundraising document was publicly available information, three years before U.S. District Attorney William Killian attended the grand opening in 2012 and expressed his friendship with a mosque leadership who built their mosque with a promise that funding them represented an investment in jihad.
Now that investment appears to have matured.
U.S. District Attorney William Killian should recuse himself from this case, because of his association with ISGC, and the investigators must begin to conduct a detailed and through investigation of ISGC itself, and what role its support for violent jihad may have played in the attack in Chattanooga which claimed the lives of five servicemen.

Jade Helm – Reason for Concern?
By: T F Stern
The Moral Liberal
Conspiracy rumors abound as Jade Helm military exercises begin to roll forward in various places of the United States. Is there reason to be concerned or is this simply a chance for our military personnel to practice?
One factor to consider would have to be the public's loss of trust towards those in government.
"A key component of the controversial Jade Helm military exercise set to take part in nine U.S. states this summer will involve soldiers operating "undetected amongst civilian populations," to see if they can infiltrate without being noticed."
"Despite assurances that the training is to prepare troops for overseas missions, Army documents in the past have made clear that plans for martial law are in place for within the Continental United States (CONUS).
A leaked 2012 US Army Military Police training manual, entitled "Civil Disturbance Operations," described how soldiers would be ordered to confiscate firearms and kill American "dissidents." The manual also revealed that prisoners would be detained in temporary internment camps and "re-educated" to gain a new appreciation of "U.S. policies," in accordance with U.S. Army FM 3-19.40 Internment/Resettlement Operations."
I suppose we should trust the military; after all, they are paid to protect us…right? President Obama trusts the military completely; that's why when he ordered U.S. Marines to be disarmed during his Inauguration Parade.
"He's gutted their healthcare, plans to cut their pay and apparently, doesn't trust them either. David Codrea over at Gun Rights Examiner points out that Marines marching in President Obama's second inaugural parade recently were caring rifles without bolts, meaning they were removed."
President Obama should bear full responsibility for the public's loss of trust.
Obama's administration has shown time and time again its ineptitude and utter contempt for following limitations placed on government by the Constitution. I'd list them all here; but space being at a premium…Fast & Furious scandal, Solyndra loan/gift of taxpayer funds, Obamacare's "You can keep your doctor", NSA spying on Americans, IRS targeting political enemies of Obama, Benghazi, racially dividing the nation, Executive Orders to get around Congress on Illegal Immigration, supplying arms to the Muslim Brotherhood, apologizing to the world for America's greatness at the United Nations… Is it necessary to continue?
It wouldn't be so bad if Obama's administrators were simply inept; but their arrogance toward the public which employs them makes it even more difficult to excuse a total lack of respect for their stewardships. When asked to justify their actions the general rule is to stonewall requested information, refuse to answer or plead the 5th in order to avoid prosecution for crimes against We The People.
When the largest military operation ever to take place on American soil during peacetime is being carried out with only Washington's promise that it's nothing out of the ordinary, there's no reason to be concerned or the check's in the mail…let's just say a little skepticism is in order.
There was an old black and white movie made back in the early sixties, Seven Days in May, which dealt with the theoretical possibility of a military take over of the government. The plot called for a group of upper echelon military to stage war games exercise and use that moment to remove the president from office under the pretense that he was unfit for office.
While the story line doesn't match up, at least not entirely with today's political setting, there are many similarities which are worthy of consideration. Seven Days in May, was a fictional story; however, think on this:
"President Kennedy had read Seven Days in May shortly after its publication and believed the scenario as described could actually occur in the United States."
Obama has removed top ranking officers from the military, men who had not planned on retiring; men who have publicly stated that they could not and would not follow orders from the White House to fire on American civilians.
"I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new "litmus test" in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not. Those who will not are being removed."
Obama has scheduled Jade Helm as a military exercise to be carried out in several states, some labeled as "Hostile", states which just happen to have voted against him and his agenda to transform America.
Is this a military take over, similar to the one in Seven Days in May, only in reverse; a president of the United States setting the stage for Martial Law?
Obama didn't trust U.S. Marines to have loaded weapons during his Inauguration Parade, he doesn't trust American citizens with weapons either. Is Jade Helm the elephant in the middle of the room that nobody can see, Obama's bold opportunity to seize American's weapons via a supposed military exercise?
Are those FEMA buildings what they purport to be or is there a more sinister, a dark side to their being located behind schools or on Wal-mart properties shut down for "emergency plumbing repairs"?
While we're into making outlandish comparisons…didn't Richard 'I am not a Crook' Nixon have plumbers… White House Plumbers to fix those who stood against him? Maybe Obama has a team of plumbers going to fix what needs fixing and they'll use Wal-mart as cover during Jade Helm.
Here's my solution to restoring a smidgen of trust in our government at this time. Call off Jade Helm and put the public's mind at ease. There's enough unrest going on without pouring gasoline on an already smoldering fire.
Is there reason for concern regarding Jade Helm? You don't have to be into conspiracy theories to come up with…yes.

War Games and Life's Lessons
T F Stern's Rantings
Going through Facebook this morning I glanced at a photo taken of a friend, Ryan Scott Welch, as he posed during a war games exercise. My thoughts turned back to that time when I was in the Army.
My MOS was as a Military Policeman; but a lot of the training was geared toward general Infantry situations.
After months of training we were tested on a combat course designed to challenge nearly every thing we were supposed to have learned. It was a long time ago and some of the details escape my memory; however, we went out in teams of four or five men and had to navigate our way through hostile territory. There were trip wires to avoid, holes to get around, bad guys hiding in bushes, snipers in trees and all manner of traps that, had they been 'real', could get you sent home in a body bag.
I'm proud to say our team made it through the arduous course without a hitch, having neutralized all attempts to kill us off.
An officer greeted us at the end of the war games course and congratulated each member of the team for having done a good job. He explained that we'd need to go through a debriefing, a chance to critique and improve the course for future training opportunities as he pointed us in the direction that led to the debriefing tables.
About five or six yards down the path, while we were still congratulating ourselves, we accidentally snagged a trip line. A loud blast knocked us to the ground as a booby trap exploded.
My first thought, one which seemed appropriate at the time, "Man, that's just not right. We already finished the course" It should be noted the language used may have been less than Church Standard; but you get the idea. I don't think any of us could hear for a several minutes as the blast effect lingered.
After letting us regain our bearings we were given some valuable information, something we hadn't considered. He made sure he had eye contact with us, a long meaningful few moments before saying, "Men, you just got a free pass. That could have been the last sound you heard in this life. Remember…", holding us riveted with his eyes, "until you're out of the Army and home sleeping in your own bed; never relax or let down your guard. The moment you do you're dead. You are always a target"
That lesson applies to everyone, at least in a general setting.
While going about this probationary state, mortality, as given by our Creator, there will be many challenges to… I was going to say, getting out alive; but that really isn't applicable, now is it?
We are to endure to the end and return home, having followed the commandments and having served with honor. Our Father in Heaven knows the challenges we face; so does the Adversary. Never relax or let down your guard.

Obama Warns Parents: Your Kids Are Mine
President Barack Obama has issued a declaration on human sexuality and what constitutes moral and mental health for the nation. He is warning Christian parents that the federal government wants their kids.
This is not how the story is being reported, however. For example, a story in Politico carries the headline, "Barack Obama denounces 'conversion therapies' for gays," with the words "conversion therapies" in quotes, as if to suggest there's some doubt that homosexuals can return to being straight. This is all too typical of the mentality that grips the major media and is designed to suggest that homosexuality is somehow natural and cannot be changed. But honest journalism, which is virtually non-existent when covering homosexuality, would take a different approach to the topic.
As Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth notes, there are plenty of former homosexuals. Has the Politico reporter Louis Nelson ever met or reported on them? We can't find any record of that. So if the magazine doesn't report on them, they must not exist. This is not journalism but cheerleading for Obama and the gay rights cause. It's also a disservice to the parents of young people who need help and have a right to information about both sides of the story.
Rich Wyler, founder and director of the group, People Can Change, does not exist in a world where the liberal media and the gay rights movement become one and the same. He says that before he found sexual-orientation change therapy in the 1990s, "I was so conflicted over unwanted same-sex attractions that I was suicidal and self-destructive." He goes on, "Sexual-reorientation therapy saved my life. I was in my 30s; I only wish I'd found this kind of help as a teenager or young adult. It could have saved me years of heartbreak and confusion."
The other side of the story would include reporting that Obama's political proclamation in favor of outlawing sexual-orientation change therapy not only constitutes crass exploitation of the terrible suicide of a mixed-up young person named Joshua Alcorn but serves as an indictment of his Christian parents. Joshua was confused about his sexuality and had begun referring to himself as a girl, Leelah. The parents had tried to get help for the troubled 17-year-old before he committed suicide.
The implication of the Politico-style reporting on this topic is that being "homosexual and transgender" is a fact of life that cannot be changed. That's false. But the media just can't bring themselves to report the facts.
Politico says the parents in this case found religious therapists who "attempted to convert her [Leelah] back into a boy." This, too, is false. The child was a boy. Politico calls him "a transgender girl," another falsehood.
In essence, Obama is proposing to ban parents, on a national basis, from seeking help for their children when they go through confusing times or have sexual problems. This is the totalitarian mind-set of the gay rights movement and its supporters.
This is not just a discussion about media bias. It's important we understand what's happening here. Obama's statement, delivered by Valerie Jarrett on his behalf, is a declaration of war on parents, especially Christian parents who object to the government sanctioning and promoting homosexuality as another "lifestyle."
From Obama's perspective, these parents stand in the way of creating an army of "LGBT" young people who will forever be grateful to the President for standing up for their "rights." Like the dope smokers in Colorado, participating in what Obama calls an "experiment," these young people constitute another Democratic Party constituency. Obama doesn't seem concerned, however, about the consequences of their immoral behavior. After all, he was a heavy dope smoker and look what happened to him and where he ended up.
Although Obama's statement on human sexuality was "not accompanied by any concrete statements of policy," as Politico put it, two states, California and New Jersey, as well as the District of Columbia, have banned parents from having a role in raising their children in this area of human sexuality. Politico seems to be begging the President to introduce national legislation to put parents in their place. Perhaps that's the next step.
Like the editors at Politico, Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) also seems to think Obama knows best. Nadler issued a statement declaring, "I believe that licensed mental health professionals should be prohibited from engaging in these deceptive and damaging practices." So the politicians, including Obama, are going to decide what constitutes "mental health." This is reminiscent of the approach taken by the USSR's psychiatric hospitals. Perhaps political dissidents on the issue of homosexuality in the United States will be assigned to the kind of mental hospitals the communists ran in the old Soviet Union.
In other words, a form of "conversion therapy" will be retained, but used on those who resist the homosexual movement's demands for our children. Believers in the old-fashioned values of one man and one woman marriage will be "re-educated," or else.
Citing Obama's declaration on the correct state of mental health, Richard Cohen of the Southern Poverty Law Center has declared, "Our fight for LGBT equality has just received a major boost." This well-funded leftist group is using the legal system to terrorize groups like JONAH (Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing) from helping homosexuals escape the behavior that puts their mental and physical health in danger.
Cohen declared, "While President Obama has done the nation a great service by speaking out, he hasn't yet introduced any new policy initiatives. That's why our work is so important. We're going to trial [against JONAH] in New Jersey this summer, and we'll continue doing everything we can to stop the destructive use of conversion therapy across the country."
JONAH, with the help of the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund, is fighting back and has affirmed, "We continue our defense of the right of individuals to freely choose the help they believe will allow them to live their lives consistent with their personal and religious beliefs."
As I noted in a recent column, a legal brief before the Supreme Court in a same-sex marriage case argues that a ruling against traditional values could result in websites offering information about withdrawing from homosexual behavior being outlawed as "hate speech."
Not only are the rights to freedom of the press and religion now at risk, parental rights are also in jeopardy. We are now seeing Obama and the progressives, including the homosexual movement, making a raw power grab for our kids. The parents are being labeled as the lunatics.
Yet while the Obama administration opposes counseling for young people who may want to change their sexual feelings from homosexual to heterosexual, they have no problem paying for traitor Bradley Manning to physically "change" from being a "he" to a "she." It is reported that the Army has agreed to pay for hormone treatments, makeup, and female underwear for Manning, who is serving a 35-year sentence for espionage and other charges, so he can become "Chelsea."
Obama's "fundamental transformation" of America is getting downright weird. It appears to be a one-way street away from our Judeo-Christian values. Like so many other policies pursued by this President, it's difficult to see how this one can do anything but weaken the United States.

Duty to Country Is Deadly Business
By: Frank Salvato
I awoke to the news that 7 Marines and 4 Army soldiers went missing, all presumed dead, after a special operations training mission helicopter crashed not far from where I live; not far from the pristine beach where I took the picture that sits atop my Facebook page. It is a sober reminder that those who volunteer to place themselves in harm's way; between the evil and the innocent, face dangers even as they train to protect the nation they serve and the innocent they swear to protect.
ABC's WEAR Channel 3 in Pensacola reports:
"Seven Marines and four soldiers went missing early Wednesday after an Army helicopter crashed during a night training exercise at Eglin Air Force Base in Navarre.
"Defense officials say the military members aboard the aircraft are presumed dead. Heavy fog is having an impact on recovery efforts. Human remains have washed up on shore but the number of remains has not be released at this time. This is still considered a search and rescue mission…Pentagon officials say the heavy fog played a role in the crash."
In a time when the chattering class demands that we debate the ideological genesis of the deadly threat to our nation – and Western Civilization – emanating from the Middle East, it would well serve our nation's collective soul to personalize not only the seriousness of the threat, but the guardians of our nation; the rough and ready men and women who step into the coarse void between the way of life afforded us by the American dream and the oppression and cruelty many around the world would love to inflict upon us.
When we have the courage to confront and accept the truth, it is undeniable that there are vicious zealots committing atrocities; crimes against humanity, in the name of Islam. Yet, some among us in the West; some whose ideological addictions force them to see everything through a morally relativistic lens, seek to designate our nation as one of many among equals; our military personnel as simple countermeasures to enemies who have equal claim to ideological and moral legitimacy. But this stunted line of thinking couldn't be further from the truth and, in fact, serves as a smear against the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces; our sentinels who stand between "the barbarians and the gate." I know this to be true because my wife and I live among them; we know them and love them like family.
Our enemies, those who willingly join the ranks of Daesh (the Islamic State, al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabab, etc.), execute barbaric acts of tyranny in the name of their religion, committing unspeakable acts of ferocious cruelty in an effort to either convert the un-Islamic or cleanse the earth of those who refuse their dictate, all in an aggressive pursuit of global domination.
The men and women of the United States Armed Forces, in extreme contrast, step into the ugly void of a no-man's land where the weak and oppressed suffer at the hands of tyrants; a land where the cowardly fear to tread. They inject themselves into situations to free the oppressed, to preserve the liberty of the innocent and to vanquish the tyrannical. And as they do they carry with them the moral clarity that understands "good versus evil"; "right verses wrong"; "duty, honor, country," lessons gleaned from the righteousness of the American dream, not the ideological clap-trap of theorists hell-bent on believing in the impossibility of global utopia, or the manipulation of political creatures questing for power, influence and fame.
Our military men and women are sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, and neighbors. They go to the store for food, they fill-up their cars with gas, they help their children with their school work, they laugh, and the cry, just like those who do not serve. They cut their grass, they take out their garbage, they pay their taxes and they socialize. The live, laugh and love. But sometimes when they kiss their spouses goodbye at the door; sometimes when they kiss their children good night; sometimes when they promise to be back in a few days, sometimes those kisses are their last and those promises to return are broken, not of their own commission, but because their call to duty, their call to serve, sent them on a path that does not return home.
So it is with the 7 Marines and 4 US Army soldiers who kissed their loved ones goodbye with every intention of returning in a few days. So it is with many military families who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
A close friend of mine who teaches at a military special operations school wrote me after I queried him about the training accident. He closed by saying, "This business is a dangerous business." Indeed it is. It is dangerous and it is necessary. It is necessary for the longevity of liberty and freedom. And it is rightly necessary for all of us to thank and honor them for their sacrifices; honor them like family, because they protect us like we are family.

CWC meeting to decide new Congress chief to be held tomorrow
News Agencies | Updated on: 9 August 2019, 14:42 IST
All eyes are now on the key meeting of Congress Working Committee (CWC) which is scheduled to take place on Saturday to fill the post of party president, which has remained vacant since Rahul Gandhi announced his resignation in May.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at 11 am at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters in New Delhi. The main agenda is to decide Gandhi's successor.
A day ahead of the all-important meet, senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said even a "slightest delay" in choosing the party's chief is not an option.
"On Sat, a consensus builder party pres INC must be selected. Slightest delay is not an option. In lighter vein, I gave an analogy of wise men of Vatican locked in a room indefinitely until they got a nomination! Subsequently, it has to be followed by full intra party elections," he tweeted.
Many names are doing rounds for the post of Congress president, but no consensus has been achieved.
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has batted for a young leader to head the party, while Mumbai Congress chief Milind Deora suggested the name of party leaders Jyotiraditya Scindia and Sachin Pilot to take up the responsibility.
A few leaders like Shashi Tharoor have suggested that an interim president be appointed at the earliest.
Unequivocally ruling himself out of the race, Deora had recommended the names of Pilot and Scindia for the post of party president.
Concurring with the proposal made by Singh for the appointment of a young leader to the top post, Deora had told ANI that either of the two must be given the responsibility, as this will strengthen the governments in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
On being asked if the party will accept a 'non-Gandhi' president, Deora had said he does not see any reason why senior leaders would not accept Amarinder's proposal.
A lawmaker from Wayanad constituency, Gandhi had offered to step down from the post of Congress president at the CWC meeting on May 25, taking moral responsibility for the party's drubbing in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
However, his offer to resign was unanimously rejected by the CWC with several top leaders rallying behind him to continue to lead the party.
Almost two months after that, not only did the 49-year-old leader make his resignation public, but also removed the tag of "Congress President" from the bio of his Twitter handle.
Many protests and scores of resignations have come to the fore to stop Rahul Gandhi from resigning. Chief Ministers of all Congress-ruled states had met with Gandhi in Delhi to advice him to reconsider his decision to resign but of no avail.
The Congress won 52 seats in the recent general elections, which is just eight more than its 2014 Lok Sabha results.

I work for VCH and squealed the first time I saw Dr Quatchi!


Well, I do have a plan. Sort of. I want to enjoy my undergraduate degree AND finish it, whatever it ends up being. I really want to indulge my need to craft and volunteer. I want to be a Big Fish again. I want to be closer to my family. I want to go to graduate school. And maybe rule Cuba one day. Just kidding.
I've decided in the last month that I'm okay with a little debt. The Boy has been supportive (as always) and I believe that this decision is in my best interest. I think.
And that's how I decided to transfer. I'm scared, of course. New place, new faces. Probably a new major. Maybe it will work out. Hope so, anyways.
Hey Lange. You, The Boy, and I could oversee our own socialist utopia in Cuba. What an amazing triumvirate we would make.

XML binding with JAXB 3/3 : plugins

Once you’ll have been working with JAXB basis, you’ll want to enhance what your doing. For example, in my case, I want to bind my datas with a GUI. For that, I’ll need to use beans binding (JSR 295) with netbeans. You can begin to design your GUI, and test it. It will almost work.

But you’ll see that your data changes are not propaged on your GUI components. The reason is that JAXB didn’t generate the firePropertyChanged calls in the set methods of your beans. And you don’t want to change manually the generated code.

The solution is in the plugins. If your search on internet, your find to user the property listener (AKA bound properties) injector plugin. Trying it, I discovered that this plugin generates fireVetoableChange calls, not exactly what I expected.

Fortunately, a hack of this plugin, Enhanced Property Listener Injection plugin, is available and make what I want.

You know just have to plug it in your build script.

ant

You’ll have to add the plugin jar in the library path of your xjc task :

    <target name=&quot;xjc-typedef-target&quot; depends=&quot;-init-project&quot;>
        <typedef classname=&quot;com.sun.tools.xjc.XJCTask&quot; name=&quot;xjc&quot; xmlns:s=&quot;http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/JAXBWizConfig&quot;>
            <classpath>
<pathelement path=&quot;${jaxbwiz.xjcdef.classpath}&quot; />
<pathelement location=&quot;lib/proplistinjector-0.1.1.jar&quot; />

            </classpath>
        </typedef>
    </target>

and add the argument option to xjc target :

        <xjc package=&quot;package.name&quot; destdir=&quot;build/generated/jaxbCache/SchemaName&quot; catalog=&quot;catalog.xml&quot;>
            <classpath>
<pathelement location=&quot;${src.dir}&quot;/>
<pathelement path=&quot;${jaxbwiz.xjcrun.classpath}&quot;/>
            </classpath>
            <arg value=&quot;-xmlschema&quot;/>
            <arg value=&quot;-extension&quot;/>
            <arg value=&quot;<span style=&quot;font-family: Consolas; font-size: x-small;&quot;>-Xinject-prop-listeners</span>&quot; />
            <schema file=&quot;xml-resources/jaxb/SchemaName/schemaname.xsd&quot;/>
<produces dir=&quot;build/generated/jaxbCache/schemaname&quot;/>
        </xjc>

maven

First, using Maven you’ll have to place your schema files in src/main/resources/.

You’ll find here (maven-jaxb2-plugin) how to configure your pom.xml file for JAXB (information you could find elsewhere), and more important how to enable JAXB 2 plugin.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to configure JAXB plugin with maven. So I’ll go back using ant.

If you want to go further using JAXB, here are two goods links for improving our knowledge :

News State Victoria News The art and timeless elegance of Christian Dior's genius on display in Victoria

The art and timeless elegance of Christian Dior's genius on display in Victoria

Rounded shoulders, boned bodices, padded hips and full skirts — it's the style most often associated with Mad Men.
But while the television show is set at the start of the Swinging Sixties, the couture it has become famous for was so influential that it was started more than a decade earlier.
This new wave of fashion which became famous for establishing the unfurling hourglass silhouette came to life at the hands of Christian Dior, one of the finest designers of his generation.
Dior's revolutionary designs celebrated femininity and elegance after the austerity of World War II.
Christian Dior's New Look celebrated both the feminine and the bounty of peace that followed World War II.
And after years of making ends meet on the factory floor as their men fought in foreign countries, the 'New Look' spring-summer collection unveiled in 1947 rejuvenated the fashion world.
Seventy years after its debut, more than 140 garments designed by Christian Dior Couture between 1947 and 2017 will go on display at the National Gallery of Victoria from Sunday.
Dramatic and eye-catching, Dior's Look 10 Bar coat in flaming red.
"The exhibition will invite Australian and international audiences to discover some of the most significant couture designs of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries," National Gallery of Victoria director Tony Ellwood said.
"The exhibition will be a celebration of Dior's most landmark moments and designs."
Dior's association with Australia goes back further than most people realise.
In 1948, a year after the fashion house's couture collection changed the face of fashion, 50 original creations featured at the spring fashion parade at David Jones in Sydney. It was the first time a Dior show was shown outside of Paris.
Christian Dior Couture president, Sidney Toledano, said the gallery's modern exhibition was a historic moment. "This exhibition will be the biggest Dior retrospective ever held in Australia," he said.
"It will cover seventy years of creation, presenting the emblematic work of Christian Dior and his successors, including Maria Grazia Chiuri, who arrived last July and is the first woman at the head of the couture house."
Christian Dior opened his fashion house in 1946, after working as a fashion illustrator and designer.
Ahead of his first show, public interest was so intense that some invitations made their way to the black market.
Dior's designs would spark a renaissance of French couture, and become the start of a fashion empire with willing models from sections of royalty, aristocracy and Hollywood.
He would become known for dramatic evening dresses and sweeping, glamourous ball gowns which experimented with volume and form.
"In a machine age, dressmaking is one of the last refuges of the human, the personal, the inimitable," Dior said.
"Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not, has expressed itself in my dresses."

Do you know the new fitness mantra of Kidambi Srikanth?
Internet Desk: India's star badminton player Kidambi Srikanth just won the Denmark Open last night. It was his third Super Series title for the nation. After winning the title the Indian shuttler said he would take part in less tournaments to keep him in best of shape for the major events which will happen next year.
"I really want to play a fixed number of tournaments and don't want to play all the tournaments and push myself for the ranking," said Srikanth, who thrashed 37 year old Lee Hyun II in a one sided game to win the Denmark Open on Sunday.
"I will play around 10 tournaments and then play the Commonwealth and the Asian Games, the World Championship and then there is Syed Modi which is compulsory and PBL, so it would make it 15-17 tournaments anyway," he said.
Srikanth didn't give a single chance to his opponent as he won the match by 21-10, 21-5 in the grand finale.
"I am happy with the way it went for me, it was fantastic. I beat some tough players this week. I can't even say it was a dream come true because I never dreamt of winning three titles this year. I really want to continue playing well," Srikanth said.
"I just wanted to continue what I did this week and not do anything fancy. I feel I have to be more consistent in the coming months," said Srikanth, who has clinched the Indonesia Super Series Premier and Australia Super Series this year.
Srikanth won his first Super Series title back in 2014 back in China. He bagged his second title in India next year by winning the 2015 India Open Super Series. Now he is eyeing to finish the year on a high.
Asked about the Dubai Super Series Final in December, Srikanth said, "It is an important event. After China and Hong Kong, I will think about Dubai Super Series Final.
"I reached semis in 2014 and in 2015, I lost in the league stages but it doesn't matter. We, as players, have to forget what had happened and start afresh. So I don't want to think about what happened in 2015," he added.
The 25-year-old from Guntur also revealed that he will be announcing a few deals in the coming months.
"My management company IS in talks with some major firms and may be after these two tournaments, I will announce some sponsorship deals," he said.

UFC on ESPN 3 bonuses: Francis Ngannou and Joseph Benavidez close with bonus winners
The Ultimate Fighting Championship returned to Minneapolis, Minn., on Saturday, where several of the top fighters on the roster shined, claiming Performance of the Night bonuses, with no single fight standing out for an award.
Francis Ngannou continued his Mike-Tyson-like performances in the heavyweight division by stopping former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos at 1:11 of the first round of their headlining bout.
Ngannou stumbled in a shot at the belt when he fought Stipe Miocic and then lost to Derrick Lewis, but has since been back on form, adding dos Santos to his streak of wins over Curtis Blaydes and Cain Velasquez. The quick knockout of dos Santos not only earned a $50,000 bonus for his efforts, but likely positioned him for another shot at the belt following Daniel Cormier's defense against Stipe Miocic on Aug. 17 at UFC 241.
Not to be outdone by the main event, Joseph Benavidez reclaimed his spot as the top contender in the UFC flyweight division by finishing Jussier Formiga late in the second round of their co-main event rematch.
Benavidez had to overcome adversity in the first round, suffering a cut around his eye, to earn the stoppage and a Performance of the Night bonus at 4:47 of round two.
Alonzo Menifield opened the main card on ESPN with a first-round knockout of Paul Craig. Eryk Anders also scored a quick knockout of Vinicius Moreira on the prelims. Menifield and Anders each went home with an additional $50,000 for their Performance of the Night efforts in Minneapolis.
