Obama'a america---Fort Myers teen arrested after random attacks

Fort Myers teen arrested after random attacks - NBC-2.com WBBH News for Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples, Florida:

Traveshia Blanks, of Fort Myers, is charged with two counts of battery on a person 65 years of age or older.

On Tuesday around 3:50 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a group of people who randomly attacked an unsuspecting victim in the area of South Pointe Boulevard.

"I was in shock. Who would expect anything from out of the blue to happen like that. There's no reason had I done something or said something," said the 72-year-old Fort Myers victim.

The victim stated that while he was weeding his garden, someone kicked him from behind, knocking him to the ground. The victim says he saw a teenage girl laughing at him before she walked back to join a larger group of teens.

"I didn't hear anything. There was nobody in the area at all. It was very quiet [when] all of a sudden I felt a blow to my hip and I was on the ground. I turned around to see what happened and there was a girl standing there laughing," he said.

Concerned citizens saw a group of suspicious teenagers walking down a nearby street and took several photographs with their cell phone, providing investigators with what would later be a crucial piece of evidence.

The investigation into the first incident continued and on Tuesday, a second victim contacted the sheriff's office.

Harry Hurvitz, 89, told deputies that someone rang his doorbell, and he looked and saw several well-dressed teens standing outside his door and one of them appeared to be holding a cell phone or camera.

When he opened the door, one of the juveniles suddenly and without provocation slapped him in the face.

....We talked to students from nearby Cypress Lake High School who didn't seem to think the teens did anything wrong.

"I'm not gonna say it's not right and it's not fun, because it is fun," said a teen familiar with the game.

In many cases across the country, teens are recording the punches and kicks on their cell phones then posting them online. The attacks are often impossible to predict and prevent.

"What's not fun about it? Just go up to a random person, slap them and run away," said another teen.

OMG, we don't have an official fruit!!!!!! 2013 Senate Bill 515: Declare blueberry as the official state fruit

2013 Senate Bill 515: Declare blueberry as the official state fruit - Michigan Votes:
"2013 Senate Bill 515: Declare blueberry as the official state fruit
Introduced by Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker (R) on September 19, 2013, to establish in law that henceforth the blueberry (Vaccinium Cyanococcus) shall be designated as the official State of Michigan fruit.
Note: At present, Michigan does not have an official state fruit.
Past bills have proposed designating the cherry as the official state fruit, and apple cider as the official state beverage."

Union members of the MSM prefer you think they're unbiased. They're not. -----Black Friday Protests and Union Front Groups

Black Friday Protests and Union Front Groups [Mackinac Center]:
"Anticipated Black Friday protests of Walmart later this week most likely involve few actual employees and plenty of people involved with union front groups, according to the Mackinac Center’s labor policy director.

“Their success comes from the media covering it, regardless of how many workers walk out,” F. Vincent Vernuccio told The Washington Free Beacon.
“And there won’t be many workers on Black Friday, just like last year.”"

Yes, the system is still down. But instead of a simple "Sorry, the system is down" window, we're hiring people to engage in idiotic conversation.

[06:51:48 am]: Thanks for contacting Health Insurance Marketplace Live Chat. Please wait while we connect you to someone who can help.

[06:51:54 am]:  Please be patient while we're helping other people.

[06:51:56 am]: Welcome! You're now connected to Health Insurance Marketplace Live Chat. Thanks for contacting us. My name is Anthony. To protect your privacy, please don't provide any personal information, like Social Security Number, or any other sensitive medical or personal information.

[06:52:05 am]: Anthony

Good morning, how can I help you?

[06:52:24 am]: james

Still doesn't work. I thought the President said it would work today. Sup?

[06:53:08 am]: Anthony

Are you trying to log into your account or fill out or submit an application?

[06:54:52 am]: james

I'm loged in. Have given the government ALL my personal and financial information. Chosen my plan. I have a nifty "check mark" showing I've chosen my plan. It won't allow me to "Enroll". Been doing the same thing for over a month.

[06:56:30 am]: Anthony

Alright you click on "Enroll" and nothing happens or it gives you an error message or it just sits there and does nothing?

[06:58:00 am]: james

I click "Enroll" and it goes back to the "you're not enrolled" page. Cycles through all the same pages endlessly.

[06:59:27 am]: Anthony

Okay there are a few things we can try. Have you tried using different browsers? Or turning off your pop-up blocker? Are you using any toolbars?

[07:01:51 am]: Anthony

Sir are you still there?

[07:04:22 am]: james

I'm trying now.

[07:05:06 am]: Anthony

Alright. If this doesnt work the only other option is to call the call center and have them assist you.

[07:05:19 am]: james

I turned off virus protection, firewall, pop-up blocker and used a different browser. Same old time wasting result.

[07:07:08 am]: Anthony

Alright I apologize for the inconvenience. I am going to refer you to our call center at 1-800-318-2596. They can get you enrolled into the health plan that you want.

[07:11:09 am]: james

I've spoken with them many times before. Same time wasting result. If this was a traditional insurance provider, the media would be demanding we get money damages foe our many hours of wasted time. Instead we are forced to pay you people to tell us the same worthless information. Time after time. You should all be ashamed.

[07:12:14 am]: Anthony

Sir, I understand your frustration and I apologize. What do they tell you when you call our call center?

[07:15:45 am]: james

Same suggestions you gave. Promises the system would be up in 24,48,72 hours. Promises of return calls to get me healthcare. Again. If this was a private company, it would be out of business NOW. Instead, my taxs will go up to pay for this disaster. Thankfully, you and those who voted for Obama will get most of the bill to pay for this so there is some justice.

[07:17:59 am]: Anthony

Alright so here is my suggestion. Call our call center again and tell them what your issue is and if they tell you they can not help you ask to be transfered to a supervisor. Tell the supervisor what your issue is and see what they can do for you.

[07:19:17 am]: james

thank you

[07:19:49 am]: Anthony

I really am sorry for the frustrations. Hopefully you can get your issue solved this way.

[07:20:56 am]: Anthony

Is there anything else I can do for you?

If you are a Chinese General, what are ya thinkin' about this guy, Obama? -----Airlines Urged by U.S. to Give Notice to China

Who'd of thought ANYONE could make Jimmah Carter look like Winston Churchill in comparison?
Airlines Urged by U.S. to Give Notice to China - NYTimes.com
WASHINGTON — Even as China scrambled fighter jets to enforce its newly declared air defense zone, the Obama administration said on Friday that it was advising American commercial airlines to comply with China’s demands to be notified in advance of flights through the area.
....."The U.S. government generally expects that U.S. carriers operating internationally will operate consistent with” notice requirements “issued by foreign countries,” the State Department said in a statement, adding that that “does not indicate U.S. government acceptance of China’s requirements."

Crooked (yes a redundancy) democrat politicians and greedy (redundancy alert!) unions guaranteeing financial ruin.

Guaranteeing financial ruin in Illinois - chicagotribune.com:
"This isn't a reform, but rather a fiscal death sentence: 
.....Compare the generous benefits provided by our state to government employees, as compared to the benefits enjoyed by those who work in the private sector.
In Illinois, a member of the Teachers Retirement System who retired in 2012 after 30 years of service could expect to receive a starting pension of $72,693, with an automatic 3 percent annual compounded increase and free health care. 
In fact, nearly 10,000 Illinois government pensioners receive more than $100,000 a year.
For those employed in the private sector who elect to retire at age 62, the maximum benefit under Social Security one can receive is $23,076 — and that person gets lower cost-of-living increases and less health coverage than our state public pensioners.

Obama shows his Chicago-style "class" as he refers to Tea Party Members as 'Tea-baggers'

Meanwhile, the grossly overpaid members of America's Pravda clones repeat their made-up stories of W.....  
Obama Refers to Tea Party Members as 'Tea-baggers':
"President Barak Obama used the sexually vulgar expression “tea-baggers” to refer to tea party members in a letter he wrote to a Texas grade school Teacher.
The term “tea-baggers” has been used to ridicule the tea party, a group of American activists who advocate reducing taxes,  shrinking the size of government, and returning to traditional family values.
Obama was replying to a letter he received from Thomas Ritter, a 5th grade school teacher from Irving, Texas."

Manhattan Chef Latest Victim of Knockout Game?:
"Philadelphia police believe the “Knockout Game” is responsible for the vicious beating of a Manhattan chef visiting Old Town Philly on Tuesday.
Diego Moya, with his nose shattered and his jaw fractured, underwent a three hour surgery which included the wiring of his jaw shut, leaving him speechless.
The “Knockout Game” is played by predominantly black teens who punch unsuspecting victims, rendering them unconscious, severely injured, or in some cases dead."

RIGGING THE FUTURE: Obamacare Creates 50 New State Databases With No Function Beyond Gathering Potential Voter Information, Real or Fraudulent

PJ Media » RIGGING THE FUTURE: Obamacare Creates 50 New State Databases With No Function Beyond Gathering Potential Voter Information, Real or Fraudulent:
"Since the passage of Obamacare, all fifty state Medicaid agencies have been forced to create a new standalone database that contains nothing besides the contact information of Medicaid applicants who used Healthcare.gov.
Some of these new databases mail out voter registration forms automatically.
You cannot refuse them.
No worthwhile verification occurs before the forms are mailed.
Apply for Medicaid and the form will be mailed to you, be you a verifiable citizen or Ayman al-Zawahiri on a computer in Pakistan.
Further, these new databases are accessible by groups like Organizing for Action, the reconstituted ACORN, and malevolent figures like Chris Tarango.
And no reasonable purpose exists for creating the databases besides making them available to the aforementioned Democratic activists."

United Airlines Nearly Kills Pet, Aims For Streisand Glory Instead Of Paying Vet Bill

United Airlines Nearly Kills Pet, Aims For Streisand Glory Instead Of Paying Vet Bill | Techdirt:
"As the saying goes, there are many ways to skin a Streisand effect.
Wait, no, that's not right, but the point is that attempts at silencing speech resulting in an explosion of that speech are quite varied.
From railing against parody Twitter accounts, to attempts to silence negative online reviews, to professional sports leagues trying to keep documentaries from going live, it seems we all have something to learn from Senorita Streisand and her icy wrath.
But few such lessons include puppies, such as this one that reader IAsimov alerts us to, in which United Airlines nearly killed an owner's beloved dog and agreed to pay her vet bills, but only if she signed an non-disclosure agreement. 
Janet Sinclair brought her pets, Sedona the greyhound and Alika the cat, on a cross-country trip using UA's "PetSafe" program, which makes several promises about how the animals will be treated and what type of conditions they'll be exposed to.
It would appear, to put it mildly, that the airline failed to keep their promises."

Detroititis infected the entire county--Could Wayne County be headed to state intervention?

Could Wayne County be headed to state intervention? | The Detroit News

Wayne County is a financial mess.

Its budget deficit is huge, projected just two months into the current fiscal year to exceed an estimated $220 million. Major departments, led by the sheriff and prosecutor, routinely bust their budgets even as their bosses beg for more cash.

And the county’s employee pension fund is woefully underfunded, with only half the assets on hand to pay currently projected liabilities.
That’s roughly on par (depending on who is doing the estimating for whom) with Detroit’s underfunded pension funds — plagued as they have been in recent years by corruption, self-dealing board members and now the threat posed by Chapter 9 bankruptcy.

Obama: Thankful for injuns. Not so thankful for God's blessing

OK. 
So the guy's an atheist.
But he pretends otherwise.
And not convincingly so.
Obama: We'll spend today like many of you by Andrew Malcolm - Investors.com:
"And as Americans, we have so much to be thankful for.
We give thanks for the men and women who set sail for this land nearly four centuries ago, risking everything for the chance at a better life — and the people who were already here, our Native American brothers and sisters, for their generosity during that first Thanksgiving."

Focusing on "race and unions". The perfect recipe for municipal collapse-Former Flint mayor calls for 'drastic measures' to help city rebound

Electing and re-electing crooks and morons doesn't help much either.
Former Flint mayor calls for 'drastic measures' to help city rebound | MLive.com:
"Today, Collier said he blames race and union politics for the project never getting off the ground.
Fast forward more than 20 years and GM has shuttered several factories and Flint’s tax base is a sliver of what it once was.
“Here, the city is electing felons and people who are bankrupt,” he said, referring to the Nov. 5 Flint City Council election that saw wins by two candidates with felony convictions and two who had filed for bankruptcy. “Unfortunately, I think it does give Flint a real black eye.
From an outside perspective, it gives Flint a real negative perception.”"
