Pres Obama signs Exec Order authorizing use of Reservists to assist in US Military mission building Ebola treatment centers in West Africa.

On the same day that White House spokesperson, Josh Earnest, states the official U.S. position is to continue allowing inbound flights from the Ebola hot zone of West Africa without change or impediment, the administration announces it will enforce mandatory quarantines’ for returning U.S. troops.
Yeah, go make sense of that….
The pentagon will quarantine returning U.S. soldiers, but will allow unimpeded access for West African citizens who choose to travel to the United States. You just can’t make this stuff up.
Washington (CNN) — In an unprecedented move to protect U.S. troops that might be exposed to Ebola, U.S. military commanders are being given the authority to quarantine troops for 21 days at a Defense Department facility where they will be monitored for signs of the disease and treated if they do contract the virus, a Defense Department memo explained.
The memo, which was obtained by CNN, spells out the details of the military’s plan for the first time. (more…)
The article left me trying to figure out how the witness could be on the passenger side of the SUV, the same distance from the SUV as his opinion of the construction workers location, yet see the entire event from very beginning to end? He also says he was close enough to hear the conversation at the SUV. These statements contradict each other.
I think I know who this “witness” is…..
CLAYTON • A stream of eyewitnesses has been testifying in secret before a grand jury considering whether to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown near the Canfield Green apartments in Ferguson.
One Canfield resident — who said he saw the killing of Brown from start to finish and talked to the grand jury recently — has given the Post-Dispatch an account with some key differences from previous public statements from other witnesses.
Among the recollections of the witness, who agreed to an interview on the condition that his name not be used, were:
•After an initial scuffle in the car, the officer did not fire until Brown turned back toward him.
•Brown put his arms out to his sides but never raised his hands high.
•Brown staggered toward Wilson despite commands to stop.
•The two were about 20 to 25 feet apart when the last shots were fired.
•He would not detail what he told the grand jury but said the members seemed fair and asked a lot of questions.

This is what happens when you politicize a public health issue. Bureaucrats have to keep the concentric circles of protectionism around the President fully supported. Contradictions then become glaringly obvious.
CBS Reports Ms. Vinson was cleared to fly with a fever by the CDC. Today the CDC says Ms. Vinson should never have flown.
You know…. well,… protocols and such. Yeah…. watch:

Yeah, well, we haven’t forgotten this – and apparently the Virginia police have not yet found Hannah Graham.
Honestly, I’ll admit I had to put the research away for a while because it was so disturbing. Yet, every day I’d stare at the white board and kept coming back to the dates. The dates -and- the creepy profile.
What is it about these dates? What it is about this geography? A geography of familiarity because I’ve spent quite a bit of time up and down the Appalachian trail much, much earlier in life. Perhaps that’s what’s so unnerving.
Without going into detail about all the scratched out post-it notes. I think there’s a possibility worth pursuing.
“Summer Camps” in Virginia.
Specifically camps that have summer activities, sleepover camps, for kids. A camp that Jesse Matthew might have familiarity with, or might even have attended. [And or campgrounds that are only seasonally active during the summer.]
Unattended, “off season” summer camps might make a good place for egress and access within distance to the geography. (more…)
Missing Mayo – When is a sandwich not a sandwich? When it’s a stolen 9mm Smith and Wesson in the hands of a convicted felon wearing an ankle monitoring bracelet and shooting at the police !
ST. LOUIS • Gunshot residue tests and ballistics evidence indicate that Vonderitt D. Myers Jr. fired a gun at a police officer before being fatally shot, police and union officials said Tuesday.
Although police officials have already said that Myers fired at least three shots at an off-duty police officer before the officer returned fire, the newly released evidence could further dispel claims by friends and family that Myers was holding a sandwich, not a gun, when he was shot. The officer, who has not been named, was working for a private security company in the Shaw neighborhood.
[…] The Missouri Highway Patrol analysis found gunshot residue on Myers’ hands, on his shirt and inside the waistband and pockets of his jeans. Police said that although gunshot residue can be present on anyone near a shooting, the results show levels consistent with Myers being the shooter, because the police officer was standing too far away.

Eric Holder remains willfully blind to the Hate Crime rampages of “his people“.
New York – A mob of [black] teenagers in Crown Heights, New York City, vandalized a Jewish-owned business Saturday night, then damaged several nearby cars and buses before shouting “Heil Hitler” and leaving the area, witnesses said. The incident was captured on security camera.
The store, Gourmet Butchers, was likely targeted because it was owned by Jews, the owner, Yanki Klein, told the local ABC News affiliate. The group, which various media sources described as consisting of 30 to 70 youths, primarily African-American, started “to scream and make noise” and then “everything happened in seconds,” Klein said.
