Actor Jean-Claude Van Damme carries out his famous split between two reversing trucks.   Obviously, never done or attempted before.   Jean-Claude  said it was the most epic of splits;  what do you think?
This purpose of the stunt and live test was to demonstrate the precision and directional stability of Volvo Dynamic Steering –  a world first technology that makes the new Volvo FM easier to drive.
It was filmed in Spain on a closed-off landing field at sunrise in one take.
Here’s how they set it up: (more…)

Images of Pope Francis comforting the ailing worshiper were taken at the end of the general audience Wednesday, when a man covered in neuronal tumors approached the leader of the Catholic Church asking for a blessing.

The man reportedly suffers from a rare and painful disease called neurofibromatosis, which causes boils, impaired vision and in some cases cancer, according to the Catholic News Agency.

We are American.   We Salute one flag.   We love our country.   We pledge allegiance to one nation, our nation.   No other nation on earth can compare.  Our brothers have died to defend her honor.  We will never waiver.  We are loyal.    We are rightly proud.  

We are American.

(Via Fox News)  Fourteen Marines on their way home from serving in Afghanistan were upgraded to first class on their flight from Chicago to San Diego.

The Marines learned that American Airlines – which has a policy to upgrade servicemen and women in uniform whenever possible – had six empty seats in first class for the group. That gesture was followed by seven first-class passengers who jumped out of their seats for the other Marines so they could sit together. (more…)

I SWEAR you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist Obamacare good night.   Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it; And they will….

The Brave House Freshman Class Wrote:   “As you are well aware it is highly likely that Majority Leader Harry Reid will move to amend the House-passed CR and remove the language from the bill that defunds Obamacare before sending it back to the House.

“As you are also aware,  such a motion can only proceed if three-fifths of the Senate invokes cloture and allows this amendment process to begin. Simply put, the only chance that Senator Reid has to pursue this course of action is if six or more Republican Senators join the Democrats in voting to invoke cloture.

“Therefore, it shall be our policy to regard any cloture vote that gives Senator Reid a green light to reinstate Obamacare into this CR the same as a vote for Obamacare itself.”  (link)

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), who voted to support Harry Reid and Obamacare, is up for re-election this cycle.   His primary challenger is Matt Bevin.    I call on all who hold a similar disposition toward the manipulative leadership within the Republican party to give consideration to supporting Matt Bevin.

If you live in Kentucky – Vote for him.    If you can’t vote for him, help him, support him.   (Click Here)

… and ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it…

There is a particular poignancy with Lara Logan doing this story after all she went through in Egypt. Her report essentially vindicates all that Fox News has previously outlined. How will a spiteful White House respond?

Earlier this week conservative radio host Sean Hannity called the Obamacare hotline and spoke to an operator. The operator, Earline Davis, was honest and told Hannity nobody liked the website. The next day she was fired. He interviewed her for his TV show, and is “gifting” her a years’ salary and more:

(TEXAS – Via Reuters) Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, returned home to a rousing welcome in Texas on Saturday after his attempt to derail Obamacare with a shutdown of the federal government led to sharp criticism of his tactics as reckless and futile.
“After two months in Washington, it’s great to be back in America,” Cruz joked in speaking to a crowd of about 750 people in a packed downtown San Antonio hotel ballroom.
Cruz was greeted with an eight-minute standing ovation in an appearance organized by the Texas Federation of Republican Women. People in attendance, many of them wearing red to show their support for keeping Texas a conservative-leaning state, lined up to greet him. (more…)

I also suggest taking a look at his old, original, website:  Eject!Eject!Eject!  Particularly, read the “Silent America Essays, from a democracy at war” (find them in the right sidebar).  Start with Tribes.  It’s awesome!

Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and a few others, did a better job at exposing the *real* side, the hidden side of the establishment Republicans, than ever before.
That –regardless of the pain in recognition– is a big win.
Rule #1 in any conflict is KNOW YOUR ENEMY.   I have personally always explained it a little further, saying:  Know your enemy, not as they wish to be known, but rather as they know themselves.

I do not believe that Senator McConnell was responsible for the "anomaly" earmark for the Olmsted Dam project in last night's budget deal

When you know your enemy as he knows himself – you are able to see all of the associations and intents clearly. The distant horizon gets much closer and you do not to spend time trying to analyze the back-lit shadow.
When the enemy is known as they know themselves – you can make strategic decisions in your own best interests, and you don’t have to waste time identifying all those angles normally considered when you are in a relationship of tenable trust.
Secondly, failure to accept the intent of the enemy does not protect you from it.   Being blind to the intentions of your opposition is automatic entry into a room of weakness because you will always be evaluating yourself from a position of risk management.
Being fully aware of the intents of the opposition allows you to draw bold distinctions based on principle; and empowers your decisionmaking from a position of strength.  There is, quite simply, no longer anything to fear, and solutions become far easier to determine.
