Obama: I Have Nothing to Do With Obamacare Rate Increases - Katie Pavlich:
"But despite making a laundry list of promises about decreased costs thanks to the "Affordable" Care Act, all of which have been broken, President Obama isn't taking responsibility for the healthcare takeover he once bragged about. In fact, he's saying he has nothing to do with the current rate crisis. "

Hillary Clinton needed a helping hand to trek up a single step during a visit in Florida today.
Clinton was outside to greet supporters in Lake Worth when she attempted to stand on a small riser.
She needed assistance to get onto it as she could be seen reaching her hand out for a boost.
An aide extended his hand and Clinton held on tightly as she made her way up the 18 inches.
He could be seen standing behind her and at one point reached out to grab her waist, perhaps thinking she was about to fall.

Teacher found passed out drunk on school field trip wins $75,000 settlement
Teacher found passed out drunk on school field trip wins $75,000 settlement | EAGnews.org
JANESVILLE, Wis. – A Wisconsin teacher who was found passed out drunk in a bowling alley during a school field trip will receive $75,000 in a settlement with the city of Janesville.
JANESVILLE, Wis. – A Wisconsin teacher who was found passed out drunk in a bowling alley during a school field trip will receive $75,000 in a settlement with the city of Janesville.
Washington Elementary School teacher Maria Caya was chaperoning an end of the year field trip for fourth and fifth grade students to River’s Edge Bowling Alley in Janesville in June 2013 when police said she vomited in the bathroom and was found passed out, according to WKOW.
Caya was taken to a Janesville hospital where a blood alcohol test registered .27, or more than three times the legal limit to drive.
Caya allegedly told a hospital employee she began drinking at 6 a.m., and a WKOW analysis found she would have had to consume about 11 alcoholic beverages by the time she was tested around noon. The hospital employee was concerned because Caya was responsible for supervising students, and contacted police.

The hospital employee was concerned because Caya was responsible for supervising students, and contacted police.
District officials alleged Caya did not compromise student safety because she was one of eight teachers on the trip.
A few weeks after the incident, Caya resigned and received more than $18,000 in a payout from the district.
...On Monday, the Janesville City Council voted to offer Caya a $75,000 settlement to avoid the cost of litigating the case, WIFR reports.
“If the city does not approve this proposed settlement that is recommended by our insurance carriers, then the city would be liable for all damages that the court or jury could eventually award the plaintiff,” city attorney Wald Klimczyk wrote in a memo cited by WKOW.
According to the Gazette:
Janesville’s insurance carriers recommended settling the claim using the city’s tort liability insurance fund. Janesville has a $100,000 self-insured retainage, and the insurance carriers will pay the balance of any settlement amount, according to a city memo..."

Gallup: U.S. support for assault weapons ban reaches all-time low | TheBlaze.com:
"Just more than one-third of Americans favor a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” a Gallup poll found today.
Only 36 percent of Americans polled favor banning assault-style weapons, a drop from 44 percent in 2012 and 57 percent in 1996. Sixty-one percent of Americans now oppose an assault weapons ban, according to Gallup’s 2016 Crime poll, conducted Oct. 5-9. Gallup polled a random sample of 1,017 U.S. adults, aged 18 and older, in every state."

From local celebrity to sex offender: Charles Pugh's monumental fall from grace
From local celebrity to sex offender: Charles Pugh's monumental fall from grace:
"It’s safe to say Detroit has never seen a council president quite like Charles Pugh.
The former TV reporter with no political experience swept into city hall in 2009, collecting more votes than any of his eight colleagues.
Detroit’s first openly gay councilman pledged to restore faith in a council battered by corruption, incompetence and childish infighting.
He promised a less divisive, more reform-minded council.
Detroit got neither.
...Now Pugh, the normally gregarious council president who had sparked new hope for Detroit, is facing 5 to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy while Pugh was a Fox 2 reporter.
In June, he was arrested in New York City, where he had been living since disappearing in 2013."

There’s a new way to take down drones, and it doesn’t involve shotguns
There’s a new way to take down drones, and it doesn’t involve shotguns | Ars Technica
"The advent of inexpensive consumer drones has generated a novel predicament for firefighters, law-enforcement officers, and ordinary citizens who encounter crafts they believe are interfering with their safety or privacy.
In a series of increasingly common events—several of them chronicled by Ars—drones perceived as trespassing have been blown out of the sky with shotguns.
Firefighters have also complained that hobbyist drones pose a significant threat that sometimes prompts them to ground helicopters.
Now, a researcher has demonstrated a significantly more subtle and proactive remedy that doesn't involve shotgun blasts or after-the-fact arrests by law enforcement.

Now, a researcher has demonstrated a significantly more subtle and proactive remedy that doesn't involve shotgun blasts or after-the-fact arrests by law enforcement.
It's a radio transmitter that seizes complete control of nearby drones as they're in mid-flight.
From then on, the drones are under the full control of the person with the hijacking device.
The remote control in the possession of the original operator experiences a loss of all functions, including steering, acceleration, and altitude.
The hack works against any drone that communicates over DSMx, a widely used remote control protocol for operating hobbyist drones, planes, helicopters, cars, and boats.
Besides hijacking a drone, the device provides a digital fingerprint that's unique to each craft.
The fingerprint can be used to identify trusted drones from unfriendly ones and potentially to provide forensic evidence for use in criminal or civil court cases.
Unlike most other counter-drone technologies publicly demonstrated to date, it isn't a frequency jammer that merely prevents a remote control from communicating with a drone.
Instead, it gives the holder the ability to completely seize control of the unmanned craft..."

The worst of ObamaCare is yet to come | New York Post:
"Still ahead: Budget crises in the states that accepted temporary federal bribes to massively expand their Medicaid rolls. More premium hikes on the exchanges, as ever fewer healthy people sign up for coverage — prompting even lower enrollment, and more price hikes, in a sharp “death spiral.”
The “Cadillac tax” will kick in soon, too — so if your union has won great health coverage at the bargaining table, that plan will pay a penalty to Uncle Sam.
The legal challenges aren’t done yet, either."

John Stossel: The ruling class, this election and you | Fox News
"...The elite have a lot of influence over how we see things.
I don't like Donald Trump.
I used to.
I once found him refreshing and honest.
Now I think he's a mean bully.
I think that partly because he mocked a disabled person.
I saw it on TV.
He waved his arms around to mimic a New York Times reporter with a disability -- but wait!
It turns out that Trump used the same gestures and tone of speech to mock Ted Cruz and a general he didn't' like.
It's not nice, but it doesn't appear directed at a disability.
I only discovered this when researching the media elite for my TV show.
Even though I'm a media junkie, I hadn't seen the other side of the story.
The elite spoon-fed me their version of events.
Another reason I don't like Trump is that he supported the Iraq war -- and then lied about that.
Media pooh-bahs told me Trump pushed for the war years ago on The Howard Stern Show.
But then I listened to what Trump actually said.
"Are you for invading Iraq?" Stern asked.
Trump replied, "Yeah, I guess ... so."
Later, on Neil Cavuto's show, Trump said, "Perhaps (Bush) shouldn't be doing it yet, and perhaps we should be waiting for the United Nations."
I wouldn't call that "support" -- the way NBC's debate moderator and many others have.
I was stunned by how thoroughly the media have distorted Trump's position.
That's a privilege you get when you're part of the media elite:
You get to steer the masses' thinking.
At the second debate, we all know that Trump walked over to Hillary Clinton's podium, as if he was "stalking Ms. Clinton like prey," said The New York Times.
CNN said, "Trump looms behind Hillary Clinton at the debate."
Afterward, Clinton went on Ellen DeGeneres' show and said Trump would "literally stalk me around the stage, and I would just feel this presence behind me.
I thought, 'Whoa, this is really weird.'"
But it was a lie.
Watch the video.
Clinton walked over to Trump's podium.
Did the mainstream media tell you that?
No.
The ruling class has its themes, and it sticks to them.
When Clinton wore white to a debate, the Times called the color an "emblem of hope" and a Philadelphia Inquirer writer used words like "soft and strong ... a dream come true."
But when Melania Trump wore white, that same writer called it a "scary statement," as if Melania Trump's white symbolized white supremacy, "another reminder that in the G.O.P. white is always right..."

Russian Scientists Predict Ice Age Within 15 Years Because Sun Is ‘Cooling’
Several scientists have predicted a coming ice age due to the extreme cooling of the sun as measured by active sun spots, or eruptions. Obviously, the science of global warming is not ‘settled’ as claimed by warmists. ⁃ TN Editor
Experts say that solar activity as low as it currently is has not been seen since the mini-ice age that took place between 1645 and 1715 – a period known as the Maunder Minimum where the entire Thames froze over.
A new model has allowed experts to predict solar activity with more accuracy than ever before and it suggests that magnetic activity will fall by 60 per cent between 2030 and 2040.
The model looks at the Sun’s ’11-year heartbeat’ – the period it takes for magnetic activity to fluctuate. This cycle was first discovered some 173 years ago.
However, a mathematician has established a more up-to-date model that can forecast what the solar cycles will look like based upon dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun.
...“Combining both waves together and comparing to real data for the current solar cycle, we found that our predictions showed an accuracy of 97 per cent.”
Ms Zharkova says the next cycle is set to peak in 2022, and the cycle after, known as Cycle 26, will herald a new ice age.
1 in 4 U.S. teachers are chronically absent, missing more than 10 days of school
1 in 4 U.S. teachers are chronically absent, missing more than 10 days of school - The Washington Post:
"More than 1 in 4 of the nation’s full-time teachers are considered chronically absent from school, according to federal data, missing the equivalent of more than two weeks of classes each academic year in what some districts say has become an educational crisis.
The U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights estimated this summer that 27 percent of the nation’s teachers are out of school for more than 10 days of regular classes — some missing far more than 10 days — based on self-reported numbers from the nation’s school districts.
But some school systems, especially those in poor, rural areas and in some major cities, saw chronic absenteeism among teachers rise above 75 percent in 2014, the last year for which data is available.
In the Alamance-Burlington School District, located between Greensboro and Chapel Hill, N.C., 80 percent of its 1,500 teachers missed more than 10 days of school in the 2013-2014 school year. Cleveland reported that about 84 percent of its 2,700 teachers had excessive absences.
Nevada’s Clark County School District, which includes Las Vegas, reported that more than half of its 17,000 teachers were chronically absent — missing a total of at least 85,000 work days, or the equivalent number of hours that nearly 500 teachers would work during an entire 180-day school year..."

The number of Drs. and specialists moving out of Medicare (already gone from Obamacare) to "private pay only".
In the same manner the rich never see a TSA line or stacked lines of airliners at their executive airport, they'll never have any experience with the "healthcare" they vote for us little people.
Regardless of what Obama, Hillary and Democrats told you, their executive fiat and destruction of our Healthcare System is working exactly as they planned.

So get ready to pay out your ass for substandard care.
Everything Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Hillary and Democrats told you, wouldn't happen, is happening. Shocker, they lied.

LIBERTY REVIEW:
http://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2016/10/life-preserver-by-tammy-derouin-we-are.html
As much as you would like, you cannot control everything in
your life. There will always be outside
forces which will try to influence your spot on the scale. Numerous experiences
will enrich your life. Many individuals and events play a positive role in
shaping the path you travel. There are
also experiences where individuals or events will attempt to destroy you. Finding a balance during such difficult times
isn’t always easy.
It truly comes down to survival. Once you realize that your life and your
liberty are priceless gifts, you will do everything you can to protect and
defend them.......

Life Preserver
By Tammy Derouin
We are all products of our experiences. Everyone will encounter a wide range of
emotional events in their lifetime. On
the scale of life, we sometimes have to journey to those outermost ends of the
scale. We experience extreme highs,
which we never want to end and miserable lows, which can’t end soon
enough. Finding a spot which keeps life
reasonably balanced is most desirable.
How you handle outside, destructive forces, plays a big part
in how or if you survive the attack. Sometimes
you end up floating in misery for a while; that’s life and it’s unavoidable. But, knowing when the life preserver has been
thrown and then grabbing a hold of it, puts the control right back in your
hands; tipping the scale back in your favor.
There comes a time when you have to decide, are you going to wallow and
more than likely drown or are you going to swim and attempt to survive?
Fact-Check: No, the Clinton Foundation Did Not 'Spend Ninety Percent' of Money Donated on 'Programs'
Fact-Check: No, the Clinton Foundation Did Not 'Spend Ninety Percent' of Money Donated on 'Programs' - Breitbart:
"Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said during the third presidential debate, “We at the Clinton Foundation spend ninety percent — ninety percent — of all the money that is donated on behalf of programs of people around the world and in our own country.”
Fact-Check: FALSE
Indeed, Clinton’s “ninety percent” claim is false according to her troubled charity’s own tax filings.
Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute, Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large, and author of Clinton Cash said the Clinton Foundation has spent as little as six percent of its total income on actual charitable endeavors.
“If you actually look at the numbers of their filings and 990s, that’s what it indicates,” Schweizer said last month in an interview with SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily.
“The Clinton Foundation will say, ‘We assisted or facilitated in 100,000 kids getting immunizations.’ Well, okay, what does that mean?
And they don’t really tell you.
They don’t really explain to you how it works.”
“So the number is absolutely correct, that six percent goes to other charities,” Schweizer continued. “The other 94 percent is in this stew of marketing, and management, and travel expenses, and sort of all these obscure things, that it’s really hard to dissect what is the end result of that 94 percent being spent.”
What’s more?
Political analyst Sean Davis, the co-founder of The Federalist and a former adviser to Sen. Tom Coburn and Gov. Rick Perry, examined the Clinton Foundation’s 2013 tax filings and found that “Hillary Clinton’s non-profit spent more on office supplies and rent than it did on charitable grants.”
“The Clinton Foundation spent nearly $8.5 million–10 percent of all 2013 expenditures–on travel,” Davis contends.
“Nearly $4.8 million–5.6 percent of all expenditures–was spent on office supplies.”"
