They are acting out of fear, nothing else, ISIS is starting to feel the heat, loosing lots of territory faster than it took to gain it.
But what is really really funny is that US has not even started and has made ISIS retreat like roaches.
I think US has not even used more than 4 fighter jets and a couple of drones, the advantage on the battle field is just huge.

Absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking as what chance do these poor little boys have. Instead of wasting money on nuclear weapons and plans to bomb western targets, why don't the government and extremists do something about protecting these children?

I'm getting more interested in this. If you wouldn't mind sharing, I would like to read up.

One of the reasons is I was just told something I wasn't aware of, and it conflicts with what is commonly assumed. This al Baghdadi guy...someone just suggested to me that he was formerly with Saddam, and was trained by US forces in Jordan around 2006. Now it's possible I misunderstood who was being referred to, but it certainly was someone high up in ISIS. Does that make any sense to you?

Product demand is very low, so ANY increase appears larger than it really impacts our Economy.

This has the effect of flatlining our Economy with NO significant trend.

Our remaining Middle Class will bear the majority of the Economic pain and anguish as their families slide into abject poverty for the rest of their lives. The Greed driven, despised and disgusting Collectivist Liberal Fiends will be eager to point their claws at Bush, Conservatives, George Washington, etc. with ZERO validating logic. These Gutter dwelling Liberal ghouls can NOT and will NEVER present any logic for their "Robin Hood" positions, however, they will passionately call any of their growing number of Enemies, Us-uns, all manner of names.

The truly great thing is that these loathed Fiends are 'SELF DEFEATING!" The reason is simple, and that is found in Maslow's Hierarchy of NEEDS! Humans constantly SEEK success and Liberalism equals Epic Failure, all gutter name calling aside...!

I really enjoyed that! Just think, our government printed $85 Billion "UN-BACKED" dollars each and every month of 'ghost money,' and all the drooling FOOLS saw the stock market rise as the result, except they didn't understand the game played on them.

Nobody is building huge housing developments because there are few customers. More businesses are closing their American doors than are opening new ones.

American Corporations and Individuals hold over Three Trillion dollars in cash "INSIDE" the USA and a similar amount in other nations and different currency.

Are you kidding? Have you read the history of the ME and their nonstop wars over the last 1400 years? They have been killing each other for centuries and no matter how many die they keep killing and killing and killing and killing. You would think that by now all the muzzies would be killed off and the moderate muslims would be in control but that hasn't happened. Egypt is trying and just might succeed if the US stays out of their way and stops promoting the MB. The one thing we can be hopeful about is that all the muzzie killers will be in the same place killing each other when obama finally decides to blast them all to eternity, that way we can knock off two sets of radicals for the price of one.

Fundraising Web pages for Ferguson cop still closed; it's unclear why


Organizers have remained silent on why donation pages raising more than $400,000 for the police officer who killed an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo., were shut down without explanation over the weekend.

A related Facebook page has been deleting comments from those who raise questions about the accountability of the donations.

On the crowdsourced fundraising site GoFundMe, "Support Officer Darren Wilson" and "Support Officer Wilson" -- two separate pages with similar names -- raised $235,750 and $197,620, respectively, for the Ferguson police officer who shot Michael Brown on Aug. 9.

A similar page for Brown's family, run by the family's attorney, Benjamin Crump, had raised $316,194 as of Monday afternoon.

The shooting prompted weeks of unrest and demonstrations against the overwhelmingly white police force in mostly black Ferguson, sending Wilson into hiding as local and federal investigations seek to determine whether he wrongfully killed Brown.

The online donation campaigns have generated some controversy for defending Wilson, especially after some visitors left racially offensive remarks in at least one of the comment sections, which have since been removed.

Both pages appear to have stopped taking donations around the same time on Saturday, and as of Monday afternoon, the pages’ organizers have not explained why. If a visitor attempts to donate, a message appears that says: "Donations are Complete! The organizer has stopped donations."

In a statement provided to the Los Angeles Times on Sunday, a spokeswoman for GoFundMe said the website had not halted the donations.

"Each and every GoFundMe campaign organizer is able to decide for themselves when they would like to stop accepting donations," said the statement from GoFundMe spokeswoman Kelsea Little. "Organizers may also choose to begin accepting donations again at a later date."

The page "Support Officer Wilson," which raised $197,620, is run by a St. Louis police charity called "Shield of Hope," which has been certified by GoFundMe as a valid donation recipient.

The three officers listed on Shield of Hope's state nonprofit records are Joseph Eagan, Timothy Zoll and Jeffrey Roorda. Zoll is a public information officer for the Ferguson Police Department, Eagan is a city council member for nearby Florissant, and Roorda is a Democratic member of the Missouri House of Representatives who is running for state Senate. He is also a former police officer.

Roorda sponsored a bill in January that would keep police officers’ names secret if they were involved in a shooting unless they were criminally charged. That bill went nowhere.

Eagan, the president of Shield of Hope, told The Times in an email Monday that he had been traveling and that all public responses would be given by Roorda, the group's vice president. Neither Roorda nor Zoll has responded to Times requests for comment.

Roorda was fired from the police force of Arnold, a St. Louis exurb, in 2001. His superiors accused him of filing a false statement against a suspect in 1997 and against his own police chief when the chief declined to give Roorda paid paternity leave, according to Missouri court records.

Roorda responded at the time that he’d been unjustly fired, but he lost his appeals. He later became police chief of Kimmswick, another St. Louis exurb, and a business manager for the St. Louis Police Officers Assn. He now sits on the Missouri House’s public safety committee.

The Times also has been unable to reach the anonymous founder of the "Support Officer Darren Wilson" page, a user called "Stand Up," who has raised $235,750 and who has not been officially certified as a verified recipient on the donation page. GoFundMe's spokeswoman vouched for the anonymous donor in a statement to The Times, however.

In contrast with the other Wilson page and the donation page for Brown, little information has been given to donors about who is running the anonymous fundraising effort.

In a message to visitors two weeks ago, the anonymous Wilson fundraiser page wrote that it was working with Shield of Hope to become a verified recipient. That has not happened. The fundraiser also gave out a pseudonymous Gmail account to users seeking more information, but has not responded to a request to that account for comment.

In its statement to The Times, GoFundMe's spokeswoman said the anonymously run donation page had also been removed from its search results, adding that "this campaign no longer meets GoFundMe’s stated requirement of having a valid Facebook account connected."

GoFundMe's security policies encourage users to "only contribute payments to GoFundMe users they personally know and trust. ... Unfortunately there is no way to 100% guarantee that a user’s GoFundMe donation page contains accurate or truthful information."

But spokeswoman Little said GoFundMe "has been in contact with the campaign organizer and has no reason to question their  authenticity. Finally, GoFundMe does possess the ability to place a hold on all donations raised by any campaign that warrants further investigation."

Nevertheless, she said, GoFundMe did not place the hold.

A popular Facebook page that has been organizing pro-Wilson efforts, called "Support Officer Wilson," told followers this weekend that lawyers were working on a "solution" as to why the GoFundMe fundraisers had been shut down, but gave no more information. (The Facebook page is also run anonymously, and those remarks could not be independently verified.)

After The Times published a version of this story on Sunday, users who posted financial questions about the fundraisers said their comments were being deleted from the Facebook page. In fact, the comments objecting to the deletions were also deleted.

At one point over the weekend, the Facebook page also urged users to start a petition against the GoFundMe fundraiser for Michael Brown’s family.

I don't think 3 year old girls should be participating in beauty pageants, but they do. I don't think 5 years old should be operating motorized vehicles, but they do. We make commercial aircraft pilots retire at 65, yet place no age limitation on train, bus and truck drivers.

The outcome of this event was tragic, but just because apparently you couldn't have handled a weapon at 9 years old does not mean many others can't.

Probably not. I mean, Abbas saying whatever he was saying, which I can't translate, and someone writing a description in Hebrew about that...no context...probably is suspect. I certainly wouldn't draw any conclusion from it.

I think the point of the thread was that the instructor should have had the 9 year old girl first go full auto with a .22lr American 180 to let her get a feel for full auto before he turned her loose with the 9mm Uzi. A fatal error on his part. However, the girl will have one hell of a story to tell at school when her teacher asks the students to share with the class what they did over their summer vacation.

This guys is adverstising malware with a fake video link and fake site, the malware is in the video itself trying to make you download adobe.

What a nice order, I had made an order at newegg for some pc fan parts and video cards but thats about it, mostly use my btc for digital items and oh I pay my domain name as well with btc

I been waiting forever for those xapo cards to get delivered, the ones who got them were the one who advertised them on twitter and facebook, this what they said to me in a email.

As for medical records becoming digital, get out of the 18th century. This is a benefit to every single American. No more mistakes based upon unshared critical healthcare information. It will be a cost savigns and a health aid big time. There is no going back to yesterday.
 
If you want to worry about fourth amendment issues fight to end domestic NSA spying, demand no drones over our skies, and cut back parts of the Patriot Act.

As i am sure you know, most folks get their insurance through their employers and only pay a portion of the actual costs. For example a typical family policy today costs just slightly less than $17,000 annually and typically an employee contributes about a fourth of that, or about $4,500 annually.

That means if you purchase your insurance individually without an employer, yes, your costs can and will be higher. That is not a change at all, and given the reduction in helathcare inflation, it is better today than 3 years ago. Also, you can opt for one of 4 plans to control initial costs.

As for your complaints, they are not widely shared:

The Kaiser Family Foundation survey of June 2014 addresses exactly that question. Kaiser reports that 6 in 10 enrollees have a highly favorable view of their ACA coverage. 7 in 10 report that they were uninsurable before the Affordable Care Act. 40% of enrollees complain that meeting the premium cost is difficult for the newly insured. Since a family policy purchased in the open market can cost as much at $17,000 annually, this is an understandable concern.

 

Finally, I must say, as one who seems to hate all things Obama, may I just suggest that your claims may be like all your comments here, not quite actual but always anti-Obama.

If that is your experience you took a Bronze package, the lowest cost and did not meet any qualifying incentives based upon income. Additionally, your region (ACA is offered by regions within states) may not have a competitive structure. That is, you may only have a single provider. The only good news is that more insurers have indicated they will participate in the next sign up period and you may be able to purchase a better product.

Keep in mind that your past policy is a comparison of apples and oranges as your coverage now is broader. While you have maternity coverage you do not need, you have wellness visits and free preventative care that younger people will not need or utilize, for that is how group coverage always works.

The "Son of God" Scroll

Another fascinating scroll discovered in Cave Four known as 4Q246 refers to the hope of a future Messiah figure. This is another of the scrolls that was unpublished until recently. Amazingly, the text in this scroll refers to the Messiah as "the son of God" and the "son of the Most High." These words are the exact wording recorded in the Gospel of Luke.

The Text of Scroll 4Q246 - the Son of God Scroll:

"He shall be called the son of God,
and they shall designate [call] him son of the Most High.
Like the appearance of comets, so shall be their kingdom.
For brief years they shall reign over the earth and shall trample on all;
one people shall trample on another and one province on another until the people of God shall rise and all shall rest from the sword."

Compare the words in the scroll 4Q246 text to the inspired words found in Luke 1:32 and 35: "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David... And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:32-35).

Since the Nixon presidency each American president has attempted to create a path to insure all Americans. Until the Obama administration, all failed at this goal. In 2010 President Obama, with the support of a democratic congress, passed The Affordable Care Act (Initially known by its opponents as Obamacare) into law.

Although the passage was a historic accomplishment that would affect millions of Americans the ACA has never reached popularity with a majority of Americans, in large part due to misinformation about the ACA advanced by republicans who opposed the president and any action he would take throughout his presidency.

In early 2014, while the abysmal failure of the ACA new website was still fresh news, Republicans openly drooled at the prospect of their 2014 election campaigns being about their desire to repeal Obamacare.

But by late summer the failures of Obamacare were largely out of public discussion and republicans had moved their target to other issues. Why? Perhaps because of the outcome of the ACA, a record that now has democrats and the president embracing “Obamacare” on the basis of its merits.

Since the passage of Obamacare in 2010 the inflationary cost curve of health care cost has been bent downward. Healthcare costs have averaged 1.3% over the most recent three years, less than a third of the average since 1965.  Price inflation in the healthcare industry is currently at 1%, the lowest since 1962, according to a recent White House report.

Further, the percentage of the uninsured in America has fallen from a high in 18% in 2013 to 13.4% as of June, 2014 according to Gallup polling. Over 50% of those now newly insured argue that without the policies of the ACA they would not have been able to find healthcare insurance.

And, according the Congressional Budget Office this week, Obamacare is reducing the budget deficit. The deficit for fiscal 2013 was $608 billion, while the deficit for fiscal 2014 will be $506 billion or 2.9% of GDP. The deficit has averaged 3.1% over the past 40 years and the $506 billion represents a decrease in the deficit of over 70% since the first year of the Obama presidency in the early stages of the Bush Great Recession.

The New York Times reports that the effect of these lower costs has changed the Medicare cost projections for 2019 by a whopping reduction of $95 billion. That savings is greater than the projected costs of unemployment insurance, Amtrak, and welfare combined.

While Medicare will still require congressional attention for the long term, its near term prospects have been significantly improved by, you guessed it, Obamacare.

But none of these advances would matter if those insured by Obamacare did not like their coverage. The Kaiser Family Foundation survey of June 2014 addresses exactly that question. Kaiser reports that 6 in 10 enrollees have a highly favorable view of their ACA coverage. 7 in 10 report that they were uninsurable before the Affordable Care Act. 40% of enrollees complain that meeting the premium cost is difficult for the newly insured. Since a family policy purchased in the open market can cost as much at $17,000 annually, this is an understandable concern.

Obamacare remains unpopular with every Republican, remains disliked in Southern States (many states in the South have failed to raise their Medicaid coverage to 138% of poverty as offered by Obamacare at no cost to the states) and fails to top 50% popularity in polling.

But perhaps what really matters is something other than polling opponents; those insured like their new insurance; the cost curve has been bend for the first time in 40 years; the percentage of the uninsured have fallen significantly; the life of Medicare has been extended by the savings; and the budget deficit has been reduced by Obamacare.

This is all good news for Americans, even those who cling to their false and dire predictions about the ACA.
