It is key for trustees to monitor and assess the employer covenant in order to ensure their scheme is properly managed and funded. To assist with this, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has published constructive and practical guidance for trustees.
The guidance sets out TPR's expectations and good practice in relation to covenant assessment. This is a useful resource for trustees, giving case studies and potential actions to help manage covenant risk.
The guidance will be particularly beneficial for trustees of schemes who do not regularly use external covenant advisers. TPR has stopped short of requiring schemes to obtain regular external covenant reviews and notes that a less detailed triennial review may be reasonable for some schemes. TPR states that "covenant assessments should add value to trustees' decision-making" and that "trustees should consider the costs of commissioning external advice in the context of the benefits it could bring to the scheme". Covenant assessment is an essential consideration for trustees but this should be proportionate to the circumstances of the scheme.
TPR gives examples of how trustees could mitigate against adverse future scenarios, for example by using contingent assets to support a higher risk investment strategy. It is also helpful that TPR has acknowledged that it may be appropriate for trustees to place some reliance on support from non-statutory employers (e.g. overseas parent companies where no formal guarantee is in place), as for many schemes this represents a key source of funding.
TPR re-iterates its previous comments that trustees and employers should work openly and collaboratively together and that good information sharing by employers can reduce the need for detailed covenant investigations.
Employers may also find the guidance interesting – it sets out the information trustees are likely to request, and how they will use this to assess the level of the employer's support. The guidance also considers the interaction of the employer's ability to fund a scheme with its wishes to invest in its business. Employers approaching deficit contribution negotiations should understand the factors that trustees will need to consider and the expectations of TPR.
TPR's guidance also contains specific sections for trustees of schemes with not for profit employers and/or non-associated multi-employer schemes. This guidance does not provide solutions to the difficult issues faced by many of these schemes but it does highlight some key points for trustees to consider.
Alongside the guidance, TPR has produced a number of handouts summarising key points from the guidance. These concise checklists are a useful reference for all trustees but trustees who do not employ external covenant advisers would particularly benefit from reading the main guidance document.

Lloyd's Register has been authorized by the US Coast Guard (USCG) to extend its Alternate Compliance Program (ACP) capabilities to include mobile offshore drilling units (MODU) - in addition to cargo vessels, tank vessels, offshore supply vessels, and passenger vessels. The new authorization was issued October 4, 2005.
ACP is a voluntary program available through authorized classification societies for owners, operators, designers, and builders of US-flag vessels to comply with USCG design and inspection regulations, intended to reduce the regulatory burden on the maritime industry while maintaining existing levels of safety.
To obtain the additional authorization for MODUs, Lloyd's Register underwent a rigorous review process, which involved a comprehensive comparison of classification Rules, statutory requirements, and federal regulations applicable to this vessel type.
Paul Huber, President of Lloyd's Register Americas, Inc., said of the latest authorization: "ACP, the highest level of authorization granted by the USCG, involves a demanding review and approval process. There are now only two classification societies with MODU authorization under ACP, and this authorization complements our growth strategy in the US oil and gas sector. Lloyd's Register is delighted to offer expedited plan review and inspection services for MODUs on behalf of the USCG." Ends.

'MTV Unplugged' Co-Creator Jim Burns Dies

Burns had been in the hospital since Saturday (Dec. 23). That morning, while walking his dog on Fifth Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side, he was hit by a yellow taxi cab, according to the New York Post, and taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center in critical condition. This afternoon, the person confirmed that Burns had passed.
In Unplugged, Burns and Small created one of the enduring and iconic legacy series in MTV's history, with a first season that featured the likes of Aerosmith, Elton John and Stevie Ray Vaughan putting aside their electric instruments for stripped-down, intimate sets of some of their biggest hits in settings that fans would rarely see them perform in again. But it was in the early-to-mid 1990s that the show truly hit its stride, through legendary performances by the likes of Eric Clapton, Mariah Carey, Nirvana, Rod Stewart and Alice In Chains, among others, with Clapton's Unplugged album winning six Grammy Awards, including album, record and song of the year (the latter two for "Tears In Heaven") and Nirvana winning one for best alternative music performance.

Later, the series was revived in different incarnations, most notably with performances by Jay-Z and the Roots (2001), Lauryn Hill (2002) and Alicia Keys (2005). This September, the series was brought back once again, with Shawn Mendes serving as its first artist.
Burns also served as a writer and executive producer throughout his long career.

Congratulations to our Ten 2020 Bridge Builder Excellence Award Finalists! Watch Each of The Finalists Interviews with Levon Kirkland Below!
This is a program that has been developed between the South Carolina Football Hall of Fame (SCFHOF) and the South Carolina Department of Commerce (through the Greenville Regional Workforce Advisor, Jay Blankenship) in order to educate and speak to football players (and other students) as they make a transition to their next step throughout their K-12 journey. We are developing strategic relationships with the educational and business community in order to present students with the tools they need to be successful.
In 2019, U.S. News.com ranked SC students 43rd nationally in college and career readiness. As such, many students are being left behind and our communities are struggling. The Bridge Builder Excellence Program educates, empowers, and encourages students to be successful in their college, career, and life endeavors.
With the help of our communities we can put SC students in the Top 10 in college and career readiness by December 31, 2030.
The SCFHOF connects distinguished football players and businessmen to this program as spokespeople for this message and education in order to give back to our community and make for a better city, county, and state! Program was launched in the Fall of 2018 in Greenville County.
In 2018, 250 Greenville County students attended ACT and SAT Prep Courses through our collaboration with Jay Blankenship. In 2019, we dedicated one-on-one time with local Greenville County student athletes through lunch and learn events. In 2020, we honored our inaugural Bridge Builder Excellence Award winner and we incorporated student leadership advise through our Inside Blitz w/ Levon Kirkland Podcast through student interviews and "QuickHits" segments. These digital communication strategies are planned to continue through 2021.

Q: Jquery get specific form elements by id into a string i have a form that generates dynamic text inputs with ids like follows
<input id='item_blue_1' ...
    <input id='item_green_2' ...
    <input id='item_blue_3' ...
    <input id='item_green_4' ...
    <input id='item_blue_5' ...
how can i get all the values of only the elements that start with ids item_green, and put the values into a coma separated string or array, which ever is fastest and easiest?

A: var arr = new Array();
$('input[id^="item_green"]').each(function() {
    arr.push($(this).val());
});
return arr; // or return arr.join(",") for a string

A: use start with selector
var arr=[];
var ids=$("[id^=item_green]");
arr = $.map(ids, function(n, index){
  return ($(ids).eq(index).val());
});

var stringArr=arr.join(","); //for string values

A: use following:
var joinedString = $('input[id^=item_green]').map(function(){
       return $(this).val();
    }).get().join(",");

http://jsfiddle.net/E86e5/3/

A: There are jquery selectors you can use to find elements that have attributes staring with a certain string. Here is an example:
var values = new Array();
$('[id^=item_green]').each(function() { values.push($(this).val());});

Then values will be an array filled with all the values.

Lemon Turkey Noodle Soup is the perfect solution to leftover turkey or chicken. Comfort food at it's finest.
Tomorrow is the big day – Thanksgiving! Are you ready. We are celebrating in Utah this year with family and I am so excited to spend time with some of my kids! I love spending the holiday with family and not having to do all the cooking. The only downside is that when we get home there are no leftovers. I have actually been known to cook a turkey when I get home just so I'll have leftovers!
A good old turkey sandwich is always a great use of leftovers but I prefer soup. And today's recipe for Lemon Turkey Noodle Soup is perfect. It is flavorful and has lots of veggies in it so after all that food you ate on Thanksgiving (i.e. pie) it's a great way to eat a little lighter and healthier.
I used fresh lemon juice in this soup and it gives it a nice light, fresh taste. I also like to cook my pasta seperately and then add it in when I serve the soup instead of boiling it in the soup and letting it sit in the broth for too long and get mushy. I don't like mushy!!
I place chopped up spinach in the bottom of the bowl first and then pour the soup over the spinach. That way the spinach doesn't get too soggy. If you have a few leftover rolls from Thanksgiving, that along with a bowl of this lemon turkey noodle soup is the perfect dinner. Comfort food at it's finest. And then of course, some leftover pie for dessert. Or you could make yourself a pumpkin pie milkshake.
Add celery, carrots and red bell pepper and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add broth and Oregano and bring soup to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer to blend flavors, about 20 minutes.
Add turkey, lemon juice and lemon peel into soup.
Placed a handful of chopped spinach into bottom of each bowl..

We've just launched the Sugar Advocacy Toolkit - our newest resource to help knock sugar back to healthy levels. It includes our latest fact sheets - 1) Why Tax Sugary Drinks and 2) Sugary Drink Warning Labels - which also explain how these policies work. As an invited response to Monday's USA Today editorial, our executive director made the case for why a tax on sugary drinks is an idea whose time has come. Don't miss our latest Research Watch which keeps you up to date on the science behind the headlines on sugar. And seeing a picture of kids dressed up as Coke cans to market soda reminded us why it's time to put the Sugar Advocacy Toolkit to work.
We are delighted to share our Sugar Advocacy Toolkit with you. It covers why now is the time to act on sugar, six key policy approaches, why acting on sugary drinks is critical, other promising policies, and efforts to bring sugar back to healthy levels. It will also show you where to find resources, models to follow and allies with whom you can join forces. Read More.
The time has come to tax sugary drinks like we tax tobacco. Because we care about the health of our children and communities, we must fight back with the tools that have proven so effective in reducing tobacco use, such as taxes and hard-hitting public information campaigns. See our executive director Jim Krieger's op-ed from Monday's USA Today and weigh in on the poll. Read more.
Our Sugary Drink Tax fact sheet lays out how communities can raise revenue for important programs like healthier food in schools, initiatives to prevent diabetes and other chronic diseases, education campaigns about sugary drinks and healthy eating, and universal pre-K. Read More.

Ele também é fundador do Proud Boys, uma organização neo-fascista para homens, classificada pelo Southern Poverty Law Center como um "grupo de ódio". McInnes rejeita esta classificação, afirmando que o grupo "não é extremista e não tem conexão com nacionalistas brancos".

Em 2018, McInnes foi banido do Twitter, Facebook e Instagram por violar o termo destes sites ao promover conteúdo violento e discurso de ódio.

Biografia
Gavin McInnes nasceu em Hitchin no condado de Hertfordshire na Inglaterra, filho de escoceses James e Loraine McInnes. Sua família migrou para o Canadá quando ele tinha 4 anos. Frequentou a escola secundária Earl of March Secondary School em Ottawa. Na adolescência, tocou em uma banda de punk rock Anal Chinook, em Ottawa. Na fase adulta, migrou do Canada para os Estados Unidos.

Carreira Profissional
Foi o co-fundador da Vice em 1994 com Shane Smith e Suroosh Alvi.  Durante sua permanência foi descrito como o "padrinho" da subcultura hipster, pela WNBC e como "um dos principais influenciadores do movimento hipster" por AdBusters. Eventualmente, contribui com artigos para Vice, incluindo "The VICE Guide to Happiness" e "The VICE Guide to Picking Up Chicks", também foi co-autor de dois livros da Vice: The Vice Guide to Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, e Vice Dos and Don'ts: 10 Years of VICE Magazine's Street Fashion Critiques.

Em entrevista à New York Press , em 2002, disse que estava satisfeito com a maioria dos hipsters de Williamsburg por serem brancos. Gavin, em seguida, escreveu uma carta para Gawker  dizendo que a entrevista foi uma brincadeira para ridicularizar "a mídia pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial, como The Times". Depois que ele se tornou o foco de uma campanha de cartas por um leitor, Vice - desculpou-se pelos comentários de Gavin. Foi destaque em 2003, no New York Times em um artigo sobre a revista Vice - por expressar seus pontos de vista políticos.

Em 2006, foi destaque no The Vice Guide to Travel com o ator e comediante David Cross na China. Ele deixou a Vice em 2008 devido ao "creative differences". Em entrevista ao The New Yorker, em 2003, disse: que a sua separação com a Vice foi sobre a crescente influência da propaganda corporativa no conteúdo da Vice, declarando que "O plano de negócios foi inimigo do marketing e do editorial".

Em 2008, criou o site StreetCarnage.com. Ele fundou uma agência de publicidade chamada de Rooster onde ele trabalha como diretor de criação. Em 2009, Gavin convenceu um jornalista, do The Village Voice, que foi nocauteado depois de perder um desafio para um lutador de MMA. Na verdade, foram cenas editadas, de um programa de TV, para testes. Em 2010, convenceu um jornalista da Gawker que havia comido uma tigela de flocos de milho encharcados de urina depois de perder a competição "Hipster of the Decade". Na realidade, a filmagem foi retirada de desenhos de comédia chamada de Gavin McInnes Is a Fucking Asshole.

Foi apresentado na 3 ª temporada do reality show canadense Kenny vs Spenny, como juiz no episódio "Who is Cooler?". Em 2010, McInnes foi procurado pelo canal Adult Swim para fazer o papel de Mick, uma bola de futebol escocesa com comportamento humano, em uma curta participação Aqua Teen Hunger Force resultante do Soul Quest Overdrive.  Depois de perder um concurso de diretor em 2010 na Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge, seis episódios de Soul Quest Overdrive foram encomendados, com quatro exibições no bloco 4 de DVR do Adult Swim em 25 de maio de 2011 antes de ser rapidamente cancelado. Gavin McInnes, brincando, culpou o cancelamento do programa os outros membros do elenco (Kristen Schaal, David Cross, e H. Jon Benjamin).

Opinião
McInnes descreve-se como libertarianismo e como parte da Nova Direita, um termo que ele prefere usar em vez de "alt-light". O New York Times descreve o como "provocador de extrema direita."

Considera-se Chauvinista Ocidental e começou uma organização  chamada Proud Boys que juram lealdade a esse movimento.↵O FBI classifica o "Proud Boys "um grupo extremista ligados ao nacionalismo branco", de acordo com um documento produzido pela polícia do estado de Washington, e o Southern Poverty Law Center classifica como um grupo de ódio. Ele diz que seu grupo não é nacionalista branco.

Em 2003, Gavin McInnes disse: "Eu não quero nossa cultura diluída. Precisamos fechar a fronteira agora e que todos absorvam um modo de vida ocidental, branco e com idioma inglês."

Raça e etnia
McInnes foi acusado de racismo e de promover a retórica da supremacia branca.  Pessoalmente, declarou supostas difamações raciais contra Susan Rice e Jada Pinkett Smith, e mais amplamente contra Palestinos and Asiáticos. Disse que: "há uma tendência que os negros pressionem uns aos outros", e em 2018, disse que havia uma grande "violência entre negros" nos Estados Unidos, com 8.000 casos por ano de homicídio de negros contra negros.

Judaísmo e Antissemitismo
Em Março de 2017, durante uma viagem a Israel com The Rebel Media, fez comentários controversos defendendo Negacionismo do Holocausto, acusou os judeus de serem responsáveis pelo Holodomor e o Tratado de Versalhes, dizendo que estava 'tornando-se anti-semita". Mais tarde, ele disse que seus comentários foram retirados do contexto. McInnes também produziu um vídeo cômico para Rebel chamado Dez coisas que eu odeio nos judeus, tempos depois renomeado para Dez coisas que eu odeio em Israel. Em resposta à polêmica, McInnes disse: "Eu aterrizei, eu tinha vários amigos nazistas. David Duke e todos os nazistas vão pensar que eu quiz arrasar... Sem ofensas nazistas, eu não quero ofender, mas eu não gosto de vocês. Eu gosto de judeus."

Islamismo
McInnes é anti-Islã. disse: "Muçulmanos são estúpidos ... a única coisa que eles realmente respeitam é a violência e a intolerância." Ele também equiparou o islamismo ao fascismo, declarando: "Nazismo acabou. Islã é contemporâneo ." Em Abril de 2018, Mcinnes rotulou uma importante seção de muçulmanos como transtornos mentais e incesto, alegando que "Muçulmanos têm um problema com endogamia. Eles tendem a se casar com seus primos de primeiro grau ... e isso é um grande problema nos EUA. Quando você tem relações endogâmicas você é psicologicamente prejudicado, não são todos os muçulmanos, mas em grande parte, e você tem um livro de ódio chamado Alcorão... você resulta com uma receita perfeita para assassinato em massa."

Gênero
McInnes descreve-se como "um sexista Archie Bunker."

Já em 2003, Vanessa Grigoriadis no The New York Times citou McInnes dizendo: "'Não significa que não é puritanismo. Eu acho que o feminismo da era Steinem fez muitas injustiças para as mulheres, mas uma das piores foi convencer todos esses conservadores do norte de que as mulheres não querem ser dominadas." McInnes foi acusado de sexismo pela imprensa incluindo Chicago Sun-Times, Independent Journal Review, Salon, Jezebel, The Hollywood Reporter, e Slate. Em outubro de 2013, disse durante uma entrevista que "as pessoas estariam mais felizes se as mulheres parassem de fingir ser homens", e que o feminismo "fez as mulheres infelizes". Explicou que "Nós banalizamos o parto e somos mais sedentários tanto que as mulheres são forçadas a fingirem ser homens. Elas fingem ser valentes, mas são tristes." Uma discussão acalorada aconteceu na University of Miami School of Law com a professora Mary Anne Franks.

Genocídio Branco
McInnes defendeu a teoria da conspiração do genocídio branco dizendo que mulheres brancas estão abortando e a imigração está "levando ao genocídio branco no Ocidente". Em 2018, sobre ataques em fazendas sul-africanas e as propostas de reforma agrária, disse que os sul-africanos negros não estavam tentando recuperar suas terras, porque nunca tiveram essas terras", em vez disso afirmou que existe "limpeza étnica" esforços contra os sul-africanos brancos.

Vida Pessoal
Em 2005, se casou com a publicitária e consultora Emily Jendrisak, a filha de uma, americana indígena, ativista Christine Whiterabbit Jendrisak.

Alcohol is a depressant and many people lack the skills needed to drive safely when they are sober, so to lower those skills any more than they already are is reckless and shows an extreme disregard for life and the other people on and around the roads.
Sentences for drink driving should be increased fivefold and jail time should be given as a default to anybody that drinks and drives. Lower attention span Even drinking less than the driving limit is going to affect your attention span, and some people have a very low attention span to begin with.
Slower responses A person with even a little bit of drink inside him or her will have slower response times, and since the road is full of dangers and hazards, it is highly detrimental to yourself safety and the safety of others to have slow response times. Unable to recognize danger A person with any form of altered mind-state will be less likely to recognize danger.

Another Milestone Day For Obama: The Monstrous Mistake Of Trying Foreign Terrorists Like U.S. Citizens
I didn't used to believe in anything special about "Friday the 13th." It was just another day. Turns out I was wrong.
Obama has brought about yet another "change."
Friday the 13th now features a new monster – the President of the United States of America – as the Creature Who Made Terrorists Feel Right At Home. I know the name doesn't sound as scary as "Jason Voorhees," the hockey-masked hacker-slasher, but believe me, this is a monster that can kill more Americans than Jason Voorhees ever did.
Under Obama, we're undermining our CIA. We're mirandizing terrorists captured on foreign battlefields. And now we're trying mass-murdering terrorists like American citizens in our justice system.
And, of course, when a terrorists actually guns down more than two score unarmed soldiers on a military base, he denies the man is even a terrorist in a rush to whitewash lest the revelation somehow undermine our "diversity."
Hope you terrorist-murderers feel at home. If there's anything else we can do for you, please let us know. Our president will go to any lengths to make you as comfortable as possible.
And don't you mind that whole "slaughtering" thing. We're really like sheeple now; we don't mind. Murder 3,000 of us, or 3,000,000; we're fine with it. Really.
Why are we going to put the 9/11 mastermind and four of his fellow murderers on trial in civilian court? Because Barack Obama is more righteous and wonderful than our despicable presidents of the past – such as Abraham Lincoln and the admittedly less-righteous FDR – have ever been. Honest Abe was actually DIShonest Abe because he had military tribunals.
NYC trial of 9/11 suspects poses legal risks
By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer Devlin Barrett, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 33 mins ago
WASHINGTON – In the biggest trial for the age of terrorism, the professed 9/11 mastermind and four alleged henchmen will be hauled before a civilian court on American soil, barely a thousand yards from the site of the World Trade Center's twin towers they are accused of destroying.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced the decision Friday to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to trial at a lower Manhattan courthouse.
It's a risky move. Trying the men in civilian court will bar evidence obtained under duress and complicate a case where anything short of slam-dunk convictions will empower President Barack Obama's critics.
The case is likely to force the federal court to confront a host of difficult issues, including rough treatment of detainees, sensitive intelligence-gathering and the potential spectacle of defiant terrorists disrupting proceedings. U.S. civilian courts prohibit evidence obtained through coercion, and a number of detainees were questioned using harsh methods some call torture.
Holder insisted both the court system and the untainted evidence against the five men are strong enough to deliver a guilty verdict and the penalty he expects to seek: a death sentence for the deaths of nearly 3,000 people who were killed when four hijacked jetliners slammed into the towers, the Pentagon and a field in western Pennsylvania.
"After eight years of delay, those allegedly responsible for the attacks of September the 11th will finally face justice. They will be brought to New York — to New York," Holder repeated for emphasis — "to answer for their alleged crimes in a courthouse just blocks away from where the twin towers once stood."
Holder said he decided to bring Mohammed and the other four before a civilian court rather than a military commission because of the nature of the undisclosed evidence against them, because the 9/11 victims were mostly civilians and because the attacks took place on U.S. soil. Institutionally, the Justice Department, where Holder has spent most of his career, has long wanted to reassert the ability of federal courts to handle terrorism cases.
Lawyers for the accused will almost certainly try to have charges thrown out based on the rough treatment of the detainees at the hands of U.S. interrogators, including the repeated waterboarding, or simulated drowning, of Mohammed.
The question has been raised as to whether the government can make its case without using coerced confessions.
That may not matter, said Pat Rowan, a former Justice Department official.
"When you consider everything that's come out in the proceedings at Gitmo, either from the mouth of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others or from their written statements submitted to the court, it seems clear that they won't need to use any coerced confessions in order to demonstrate their guilt," said Rowan.
Held at Guantanamo since September 2006, Mohammed said in military proceedings there that he wanted to plead guilty and be executed to achieve what he views as martyrdom. In a letter from him released by the war crimes court, he referred to the attacks as a "noble victory" and urged U.S. authorities to "pass your sentence on me and give me no respite."
Holder insisted the case is on firm legal footing, but he acknowledged the political ground may be more shaky when it comes to bringing feared al-Qaida terrorists to U.S. soil.
"To the extent that there are political consequences, I'll just have to take my lumps," he said. But any political consequences will reach beyond Holder to his boss, Obama.
Bringing such notorious suspects to U.S. soil to face trial is a key step in Obama's plan to close the military-run detention center in Cuba. Obama initially planned to close the prison by next Jan. 22, but the administration is no longer expected to meet that deadline.
Obama said he is "absolutely convinced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be subject to the most exacting demands of justice. The American people will insist on it and my administration will insist on it."
After the announcement, political criticism and praise for the decision divided mostly along party lines.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said bringing the terrorism suspects into the U.S. "is a step backwards for the security of our country and puts Americans unnecessarily at risk."
Former President George W. Bush's last attorney general, Michael Mukasey, a former federal judge in New York, also objected that federal courts were not well-suited to this task. "The plan seems to be to abandon the view that we are at war," Mukasey told a conference of conservative lawyers. He said trial in open court "creates a cornucopia of intelligence for those still at large and a circus for those being tried," and he advocated military tribunals instead.
But Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said the federal courts are capable of trying high-profile terrorism cases.
"By trying them in our federal courts, we demonstrate to the world that the most powerful nation on earth also trusts its judicial system — a system respected around the world," Leahy said.
Family members of Sept. 11 victims were also divided.
"We have a president who doesn't know we're at war," said Debra Burlingame, whose brother, Charles Burlingame, had been the pilot of the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon. She said she was sickened by "the prospect of these barbarians being turned into victims by their attorneys."
From McClatchey:
Congressional Republicans, however, promptly accused the Obama administration of trying to return to a pre-Sept. 11 mentality of criminalizing the war on terrorism.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas warned that "bringing these dangerous individuals onto U.S. soil needlessly compromises the safety of all Americans."
House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said the possibility that the accused terrorists "could be found not guilty due to some legal technicality just blocks from Ground Zero should give every American pause."
Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder – who actually has a track record for PARDONING AND FREEING TERRORISTS had this to say:
A big obstacle could be whether an impartial jury can be impaneled so close to where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood.
Holder said that a careful jury selection process should dispel those concerns.
"I would not have authorized the bringing of these prosecutions unless I thought that the outcome … would ultimately be successful," he said. "I will say that I have access to information that has not been publicly released that gives me great confidence that we will be successful in federal court."
But what happens if you thought wrong, Holder? What happens then?
What happens if these guys are found not guilty? Are we supposed to just let them go?
What happens if the five terrorists draw a liberal activist judge who wants to make "torture" and issue, rather than "terrorism" and "3,000 murdered Americans"? Is Obama and his Justice Department at work to circumvent the system relating to the assigning of judges to particular cases and guarantee that "the right" judge hears the case? Wouldn't that be tantamount to the very worst that Obama has claimed he wants to avoid in the first place? Wouldn't that amount to a show trial?
Obama is either taking a giant chance, a literal roll of the dice, or he's already stacked the deck.
What happens if a Muslim is on the jury pool? That one's kind of interesting. A single juror can hang the jury and lead to a mistrial. Do we want to take a chance that a sympathizer throw a monkey wrench into the system? Is the Obama team that so values "diversity" going to try to prevent Muslims from serving on the jury?
What about a change of venue? Surely a judge would HAVE to grant such an obvious petition, given the fact that the attacks occurred in New York, virtually every adult was impacted, and "New York" is hardly the best place to find an untainted jury pool for the 9/11 attack on the "World Trade Center attack in New York"? And yet New York has this mulit-million dollar high tech courthouse complex to deal with them.
I mean, again, if you grant the change of venue, people will justifiably become enraged. And if you DON'T grant the change of venue, people will justifiably think that the fix is in.
A military tribunal of KSM and his terrorist buddies at Gitmo would have been a ho-hum affair. A civilian trial in a lower Manhattan courthouse with the press swarming over every detail like cockroaches would be the trial of the century.
Propaganda forum? You bet. Journalists will cover every remark that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his merry band of mass murderers offers. Including the words of solidarity with other jihadist murderers. Including words of encouragement to any who would murder Americans anywhere on the planet. This is hardly the message that the American media should be broadcasting, but rest assured we'll be broadcasting every word of it.
Terrorists are different from jewel thieves and even from gang bangers: every single thing they do is directed toward spreading a message.
These terrorists want a big stage. And Barack Obama and Eric Holder want to make sure they have that stage.
And what happens if the trial – whether it's held in New York or somewhere else – stimulates more terrorist attacks? It's one thing if terrorists try to attack Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, quite another if they launch an attack in New York, Los Angeles, or wherever else.
And assuming (no guarantee anymore) that these terrorist monsters go to prison, you can bet in the age of Gitmo (which is actually a model prison) being shut down under Obama that these guys will end up in the U.S. civilian system. And they will be welcomed like rock stars.
Authorities are becoming increasingly alarmed over the radicalized Muslim population coming out of the U.S. prison system:
"Over the past 30 years, Islam has become a powerful force in the U.S. prison system, with some estimates that up to 20% of the inmate population is now Muslim. Terrorism experts are increasingly concerned that disaffected inmates drawn to radical Islam could become a source of homegrown terrorist activity."
Authorities are seeing more and more "homegrown jihadists" coming out of the prison system. Just two weeks ago, federal authorities were confronted by radicalized Muslims coming out of the U.S. prison system and organizing a cell that was claiming "that the government was the enemy and they must be willing to take on the FBI — even if it meant death." And thanks to this brain dead decision by Barack Hussein, we're going to start seeing a lot more of this. Putting these terrorists into the U.S. prison system is tantamount to putting crack cocaine in the hands of addicts. It will not end well.
This is a truly stupid idea on every level imaginable.
My question is, what are we gaining from taking what Obama's Justice Department ADMITS is a risk? That we were "open"?
There's the obvious question, "You know what? This thing could backfire. I mean these guys could be acquitted." And MSNBC Justice Department Correspondent Pete Williams has this to say, based on his sources:
"No. They've got a drawer full of other charges that they could bring against these defendants. There are already indictments pending against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed for other crimes, so they will just re-arrest them and charge them with something else."
The thing about a fair game is that either team could actually win. This isn't a fair game. And everyone in the world is going to know that, no matter where it is held. Contrary to what the White House might think, the inhabitants of the rest of the world are not as stupid and gullible and willing to believe propagandist drivel as Democrats are. This isn't going to be any kind of demonstration about how "open" we are. People who didn't believe it before won't start believing it now – unless and possibly even including that we allow the five terrorists to walk out of court free men.
A National Review article entitled, "Holder's Hidden Agenda," reminds us of how Obama's people just ripped into the CIA and started pulling out every wire and diode they could. They demanded an investigation and just plain released all kinds of previously classified information that made the US and the CIA look as bad as they possibly could. To what end?
This summer, I theorized that Attorney General Eric Holder — and his boss — had a hidden agenda in ordering a re-investigation of the CIA for six-year-old alleged interrogation excesses that had already been scrutinized by non-partisan DOJ prosecutors who had found no basis for prosecution. The continuing investigations of Bush-era counterterrorism policies (i.e., the policies that kept us safe from more domestic terror attacks), coupled with the Holder Justice Department's obsession to disclose classified national-defense information from that period, enable Holder to give the hard Left the "reckoning" that he and Obama promised during the 2008 campaign. […]
So: We are now going to have a trial that never had to happen for defendants who have no defense. And when defendants have no defense for their own actions, there is only one thing for their lawyers to do: put the government on trial in hopes of getting the jury (and the media) spun up over government errors, abuses and incompetence. That is what is going to happen in the trial of KSM et al. It will be a soapbox for al-Qaeda's case against America. Since that will be their "defense," the defendants will demand every bit of information they can get about interrogations, renditions, secret prisons, undercover operations targeting Muslims and mosques, etc., and — depending on what judge catches the case — they are likely to be given a lot of it. The administration will be able to claim that the judge, not the administration, is responsible for the exposure of our defense secrets. And the circus will be played out for all to see — in the middle of the war. It will provide endless fodder for the transnational Left to press its case that actions taken in America's defense are violations of international law that must be addressed by foreign courts. And the intelligence bounty will make our enemies more efficient at killing us.
Like I said. The new Friday the 13th monsters revealed today as Barack Obama and his AG Eric Holder are far more dangerous to Americans than Jason Voorhees ever was.
Update, November 14: TEN jihadists terrorists are coming to the U.S. to stand trial in civilian court, rather than the five that Obama and Holder claimed.
Update, November 14: Barack Obama, on September 27, 2006, in the debate concerning "The Military Commissions Act of 2006," assured America that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and those like him would face MILITARY justice, and that he would NOT get "all kinds of rights." Obama is, as usual, a documented liar.

Partisan Political Hack Leon Panetta Demonizes Dick Cheney
Leon Panetta is proving what a partisan political hack Americans always should have known he is and always has been. I first called Panetta a "partisan political hack" back in January when he was first nominated. And Panetta's outrageous cheap-shot at Dick Cheney is nothing short than the tactics of a partisan political hack.
The difference between the CIA and the KGB has always been that the one was geared toward intelligence, while the latter was geared toward enforcing political ideology. At least until Barack Obama came along, that is. Now we've got our first "communist show trials" since the days of McCarthy and the latter days of the USSR in the works.
And now we've got Obama's Homeland Security defining "rightwing extremists" in terms of Obama's conservative political opponents (not to mention returning combat veterans), and we've also got Leon Panetta demonizing political disagreement by personally attacking the motives of conservatives.
Cheney: I Hope Panetta Was 'Misquoted' in Claiming My Wish for Attack
After the CIA director apparently told The New Yorker that he thinks the former vice president is crossing his fingers for another attack on America, Dick Cheney says he hopes his "old friend" didn't really say those words.
Dick Cheney says he wants to know if he heard Leon Panetta correctly.
After the CIA director apparently told The New Yorker that he thinks the former vice president is crossing his fingers for another attack on America, Cheney said Monday he hopes his "old friend" didn't really say those words.
"I hope my old friend Leon was misquoted," Cheney said, in a written statement to FOX News. "The important thing is whether the Obama administration will continue the policies that have kept us safe for the past eight years."
Others were not quite willing to give Panetta the benefit of the doubt, as his politically charged quote stirred controversy on Capitol Hill.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called on Panetta to "retract immediately" his statement, arguing that the director crossed the line.
"I disagreed with the Cheney policy on interrogation techniques, but never did it cross my mind that Dick Cheney would ever want an attack on the United States of America," the former GOP presidential candidate told FOX News Monday. "And it's unfair, and I think that Mr. Panetta should retract, and retract immediately.
"By the way, I hear morale is not at an all-time high over at the CIA under Mr. Panetta's leadership," he said.
Panetta, a long-time Washington insider with scant intelligence experience, has been caught in the middle of a political war during his first few months on the job. First, he had to deal with morale issues as President Obama cracked down on the rules for detainee interrogations. Then he stepped up to dispute House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's allegation that the CIA misled Congress about the use of "enhanced" interrogation techniques.
This time, he's firing back against Cheney's frequent media appearances in which he's accused Obama of making America less safe.
According to The New Yorker, Panetta said Cheney "smells some blood in the water" on the security issue.
"It's almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it's almost as if he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that's dangerous politics," he said, according to the piece.
Asked about the statement, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs ducked.
"I'm not going to get into motivations. That's not what our business is. The president's concern is keeping the American people safe," Gibbs said Monday.
FOX News' Mike Emanuel contributed to this report.
Maybe Gibbs isn't "going to get into motivations." But his fellow liberal hack – CIA Director Leon Panetta – sure will.
Maybe the CIA has some kind of "motive analyzer" that Panetta zapped Dick Cheney with. In the liberal tradition, I must ask, "Doesn't Panetta need some kind of warrant to zap private citizen Cheney with his spook motive-detector gizmo? Liberals and the ACLU should be crawling out of the woodwork. Don't forget, that's what they did when they found out that the government was listening in to calls made to or from people on the terrorist watch list to or from this country.
This is classic liberal politics of demonization and demagoguery. This is classic Nancy Pelosi. This is classic Barack Obama.
A quote from an earlier article about the LAST TIME liberals hatefully and viciously teed-off on Dick Cheney should serve to show just how often Obama has demagogued – and hypocritically demagogued at that – Bush-era policies:
Right now, liberals like Keith Olbermann are teeing off on conservatives for waterboarding when we now learn that liberals like Nancy Pelosi and many other Democrats were fully briefed on "enhanced interrogation techniques that had been employed," and neither said or did anything to prevent such techniques. And even the very liberal new CIA Director under Obam0, Leon Panetta, essentially says Pelosi is lying. How are their attacks now anything but partisan demagoguery?
And right now, liberals including Barack Obama himself are deceitfully claiming the moral high ground even as the new liberal administration takes many of the same positions that it hypocritically and demagogically found so hateful on the campaign trail. As many policies as Obama has undone that will make this country less safe, there have been almost as many that he once demonized, only to follow himself once in office.
For instance, President Obama has reserved unto himself the right to order the use of enhanced interrogation should he deem it appropriate. Given that President Bush used the technique against only three individuals shortly after the worst disaster in US history, how is Obama any different? In fact he's worse, because Bush and Cheney never demagogued the issue as Obama has repeatedly done.
Obama demonized Bush over the Bush policy on rendition. But now this demagogue is quietly continuing to carry out the same rendition policy – abducting terrorist suspects and sending them to countries that will use harsh interrogation methods – even as he congratulates himself in front of a fawning media for his being better than Bush. But Obama isn't better than Bush and Cheney; he's worse. Because he's a hypocrite and a demagogue.
In the words of the New York Times, military commissions was "a concept he criticized bitterly as a presidential candidate." But now the hypocrite and demagogue is going to quietly use them himself.
And Obama has indicated that he likewise reserves the right to continue to hold some prisoners without trial indefinitely – a position he demonized during the campaign. How can such a man who so hypocritically employed such demagoguery only to come to the same position as the man he demagogued claim any semblance of moral high ground? Obama is lower than Bush in his character, not higher. Bush and Cheney didn't self-righteously demagogue; only Obama did.
Dick Cheney is often called "Darth Vader" by the left. But I think in Cheney's gracious response to Panetta's vicious, hateful, and evil comment who the REAL "Darth Vaders" are. Panetta savagely attacked Cheney's motives; Cheney responded by politely pointing at policy disagreement.
Now that liberals have opened the door wide to attacking people based on their motives and their politics, let me do a little "motive assessment" of my own: Maybe Leon Panetta is aware that the morale of his agency is at a shocking low after the butchery Democrats have done to its credibility. And maybe he is aware – due to the "depressed, sullen, and enraged" morale at the CIA in the wake of the Obama administration's and Democrat's attacks against them – that the United States is now exposed to another massive terrorist attack.
From a Newsweek article on the poor morale of the CIA:
[T]he CIA better change their mission to "CYA," because our government is not going to stand behind you."
Those concerns were echoed by a retired undercover operative who still works under contract for the agency (and asked to remain anonymous when discussing internal agency politics). Clandestine Service officers are both demoralized and angry at Obama's decisions to release the memos and ban future agency use of aggressive interrogation tactics, the former operative said. "It embarrasses our families. You just can't keep hitting us. Sooner or later we're going to stop going out and working." The official added that "a lot of offense was taken" among some Clandestine Service veterans when Obama declared that the interrogation practices the agency employed under Bush were wrong, even though the new Administration would not prosecute operatives for carrying them out.
Just maybe Panetta and his boss realize that the only way to avoid blame for such an upcoming attack will be to try to preemptively blame and scapegoat conservatives by saying that THEY are somehow more responsible than the Democrats who totally undermined our war on terror at every single turn because conservatives might have somehow hoped for it.

Sin is the oldest negative thing on earth. After God created the world and the two people and called it all "very good", sin came. Shortly after that came murder, lying, anger, jealousy, polygamy, and war.
War has been with us for so long.
I remember growing up, the Viet Nam War. It was the first war to be broadcast on television, and in living color, too. There were reports every single night. We'd hear the tally of dead and wounded. Scenes to my young eyes of limbless men hanging off gurneys in the jungle, helicopters, camouflaged men skulking with rifles pointed through the leafy undergrowth were plenty scary. They were scenes of chaos and blood.
I saw a news article from the Canadian Broadcasting Company.
A cannonball fired by the British during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759 has been unearthed at a building site in Old Quebec. The rusted, 90-kilogram projectile was unearthed during excavation work last week at the corner of Hamel and Couillard streets and still contained a charge and gunpowder. The work crew that found the ball picked it up and gathered around it for photographs, unaware that it was still potentially explosive.
Knowing that Tubal-can was in the line of ungodly descendants of Cain, and knowing the evil heart of man, I'd say with near certainty that some or all of those instruments were instruments of war. Many of those implements were likely arrows, shafts, spikes, and the sort.
Then by Genesis 6:11 we read Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence.
Violence that included war, with implements, I'm sure.
"observations that strengthened his belief in Copernicus' theory that Earth and all other planets revolve around the Sun. Most people in Galileo's time believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the Sun and planets revolved around it." (Source: NASA).
But 20 years before that, Galileo experimented with, produced, and wrote about military technological advances, in a treatise called The Operations of the Geometrical and Military Compass. Galileo's invention of the military compass was used to calculate precise trajectories of cannonballs and other military killing projectiles.
Throughout the Renaissance many attempts were made to develop a universal instrument that could be used to perform arithmetical calculation and geometric operations easily. This need was felt especially in the military field, where the technology of firearms called for increasingly precise mathematical knowledge. … The geometric and military compass of Galileo belonged to this class of instruments. [T]he Accademia Delia was founded in Padua to provide mathematical instruction for young noblemen training for a military career.
Imagine how much of our mind will be released when we don't have to devote so much of it to devising evil. Imagine when we are freed to think up ways to worship Jesus, or ways to praise Him, or anything else, than to creating military items that maim and kill and destroy.
Jesus will dissolve the earth in a fervent heat. When He creates a new earth, there will never be a cannonball to dig up. There will never be any implements of war found anywhere, like arrowheads or bullet casings or swords. Forgers of instruments of bronze and iron will be making plowshares and pruning hooks.
Won't it be great when we will study war no more? Peace. Peace will reign in men's hearts, between men and Jesus, and between men and men (and animals). Peace, shalom, war no more.
