One of the American aid workers is going to be airlifted back to the U.S. for treatment and care of the Ebola Virus.   According to the CDC and CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta a special non-stop jet left at 5:00pm on the mission to retrieve “an American” for treatment at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

a long range business jet with isolation pod left Georgia shortly after 5p, headed to Liberia to evac American with #Ebola infection.

Given that only two Americans are known to be infected with the virus, Dr. Kent Brantly (below left), and aid worker Nancy Writebol (below right), both with Samaritans Purse, it can reasonably be assumed one of them will be aboard the transport.
Earlier reports from the region were that Dr. Brantly had given instructions for Mrs. Writebol to be treated first with any limited supplies of medication which might be available.   Consequently the higher probability is that Mrs. Writebol is the patient being transported if only one person is retrieved.

NEW YORK – Investigators are running license plate numbers, scouring social media, examining cellphone transmissions and collecting DNA as part of their investigation into who climbed the Brooklyn Bridge in the middle of the night to plant two bleached-white American flags there, NBC News has learned.

[…]  The high-quality flags, measuring about 11 feet about 20 feet, were made out of white linen, and the stars were individually stitched on, according to a senior law enforcement official. There were also large aluminum pans affixed over the bridge lights that normally illuminate the flags, secured with zip ties. (more…)

We’ve been saying for two weeks that President Obama has a weak hand as he promotes his plan to deal with his own manufactured “border crisis”.   Quite simply the entire administration is on the wrong side of the people.
This recent report from the Border Patrol not only confirms this perspective, but further outlines how stark and contrasting is the opposition to illegal immigration. 
CALIFORNIA – In an exclusive expose regarding the immigration standoff in Murrieta, California, it was revealed by a confidential informant inside the Murrieta U.S. Border Patrol facility that the real reason busses stopped delivering illegal immigrants was due to a virtual mutiny within the U.S. Border Patrol ranks.
Guerilla Media Network investigative journalists conducted a recorded telephone interview with a highly credible and prominent Murrieta community leader on Sunday July 14, 2014 when it was revealed that frontline U.S. Border Patrol agents threatened to stand down if the Department of Homeland Security executed a plan to use force upon protesters if they impeded buses transporting undocumented immigrants into the Murrieta processing facility.
“Most of the Border Patrol agents here at this facility are residents of Murrieta, and when they found out that the DHS was going to come in with riot gear, the agents declared that they would not obey any unlawful orders which violate the Constitutional rights of peaceful protesters.” said the informant.   (more…)

With all that’s wrong, it’s important to remember – there’s more that’s right !…

(Staten Island – Via WeaselZippers )  In 1971, I stepped on a land mine in Vietnam and lost both legs above the knee.

For the past two years, I have been waiting to receive a new wheelchair from the Veterans Administration. In addition, I have been told that I am not entitled to a spare wheelchair.
On the evening of July 7, my wheelchair fell apart again, while shopping at Lowe’s Home Improvement Center in on Forest Avenue in Mariners Harbor.
Three employees, David, Marcus and Souleyman jumped to my assistance immediately. They placed me in another chair while they went to work.
They took the wheelchair apart and replaced the broken parts and told me, “We’re going to make this chair like new.” (more…)

If you combined Bill Whittle and Greg Gutfeld you would get Dan Joseph. I really like the way Dan Joseph cuts to the heart of the matter in the stories he covers. (Must Watch Video and Share)

It’s a precarious position Senator Cruz is staking out.   Ultimately he’s going to have to make a decision about staying with the NRSC, as the evidence of NRSC FEC fraud is brought to sunlight by the Mississippi election.
So far he’s only vocalizing his animosity about the NRSC using race-baiting tactics to attack another Republican, Chris McDaniel.  However, if the vote-buying fraud is tied to the NRSC  –which evidence is clearly outlining– then Ted Cruz will either have to cut bait, or stay forever hooked to the fraud.
(Via The Hill) GOP hopes of corralling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) during the 2014 primary season are officially dead.
The defiant Republican’s brutal criticism of Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) reelection campaign on Tuesday — and the involvement of a group he is technically a vice chairman of, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) — is just the latest example of the Tea Party hero refusing to play nice.
That brazen approach has exacerbated already fragile relations with establishment Republicans, who believe the freshman senator is intentionally undercutting them for no reason other than furthering his own political career.
Meanwhile, his conservative base is rejoicing that he’s refusing to be cowed. (more…)

July 4th 1939 gave witness to the greatest speech in the history of American sport. No script, no rehearsal, no preparation.   Simple and humble words spoken from the heart.

Many people know the opening, and many more know the close, but few know the speech in its entirety. Please watch the tribute at the end…. For the love of the game.

For the past two weeks, you have been reading about the bad break I got.

Yet today, I consider myself – the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

I’ve been in ballparks for seventeen years, and I’ve never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.

When you look around, wouldn’t you consider it privilege – to associate yourself with such fine looking men as is standing in uniform in this ball park today.

Look at these grand men. Which of you would have considered it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day.

Sure, I’m lucky.
