  1. Ebola ‘Totally Out of Control,’ Doctors Without Borders Says
    The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the deadliest ever seen and the virus is raging ‘‘totally out of control,’’ an official with Doctors Without Borders said Friday. The virus, which causes a particularly nasty form of hemorrhagic fever, has killed 337 people out of 528 infected, the World Health Organization says — making it by far the biggest and deadliest outbreak of Ebola since it was first identified in 1976.
    ‘‘The reality is clear that the epidemic is now in a second wave,’’ Bart Janssens, operations director for Doctors Without Borders in Brussels, told the AP. ‘‘And, for me, it is totally out of control.’’
    The virus has been spreading since spring in three West African countries with fluid borders — Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. The biggest outbreak affected 425 people in Uganda in 2000, killing 224 of them. There’s no good treatment and no cure for Ebola, which is highly transmissible.

  2. Are you upset of the thousands of unescorted children being allowed across the southern US border?
    Well maybe you should have offered to help, say in january before the influx was ramped up?
    http://weaselzippers.us/190573-government-advertised-in-january-for-escorts-for-65000-illegal-alien-children-to-be-resettled/
    “This advertisement raises a lot of questions. There is a lot of specificity reflected in this document that seeks to deal with an influx that hadn’t as yet happened. How could they know 65,000, even breaking down the percentages that would be covered by ground, charter and air transportation?
    Having received a lot of flack for the influx of illegals, there are some in the Obama regime who are now trying to suggest, oh, of course, the children will be deported after the initial emergency crush is addressed. But if that is so, why the reference to “Office of Refugee Resettlement”

  3. How interesting! If only it had a giant watermark smack in the center over the whole thing obscuring each frame from beginning to end, it could have enhanced the entire trailer.

  4. Our CBC echoes SDA:
    Irag = O’narcissist’s Saigon/Vietnam.
    History, she’s a scurvy, scourgey, beetch.

    “The Iraq crisis: How the U.S. made a bad situation worse
    The harsh lessons of Iraq’s apparent collapse go all the way back to Vietnam”
    “President Obama has been strongly criticized for having pulled most military trainers from Iraq by the final pullout at the end of 2011, so determined was he to break free of what he called George W. Bush’s “dumb” war.
    But it has proved impossible to escape the scourge of history.”

  5. “Associated Press Apologizes for Its Coverage of the Irish Orphanage Story”
    “Today, though, was the big day: Today, after being challenged by America Magazine, Associated Press issued an apology for its skewed reporting. The Associated Press correction read:
    DUBLIN (AP) — In stories published June 3 and June 8 about young children buried in unmarked graves after dying at a former Irish orphanage for the children of unwed mothers, The Associated Press incorrectly reported that the children had not received Roman Catholic baptisms; documents show that many children at the orphanage were baptized. The AP also incorrectly reported that Catholic teaching at the time was to deny baptism and Christian burial to the children of unwed mothers; although that may have occurred in practice at times it was not church teaching. In addition, in the June 3 story, the AP quoted a researcher who said she believed that most of the remains of children who died there were interred in a disused septic tank; the researcher has since clarified that without excavation and forensic analysis it is impossible to know how many sets of remains the tank contains, if any. The June 3 story also contained an incorrect reference to the year that the orphanage opened; it was 1925, not 1926.
    Now we wait. Will Salon, the Washington Post, the New York Times, FoxNews and other media outlets which carried the incendiary reports follow suit and issue apologies and retractions?”

  6. Unfortunately, most of my fellow conservatives think “Reefer Madness” was accurate.
    This one will backfire on the CPC, big time.
    But,apart from the fact he has nice hair and teeth,what can anyone possibly see in Justin Trudeau that would give one confidence this man can run the Country?

  7. The friends he keeps:
    “A California grand jury has indicted Kareem Ahmed, a major donor to President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, and 15 of Ahmed’s associates in an alleged multimillion-dollar insurance kickback scheme.
    Ahmed, the president and CEO of a company called Landmark Medical Management, is accused of masterminding the scheme and faces charges including conspiracy, insurance fraud, and, most dramatically, involuntary manslaughter, according to one of two sealed indictments issued by an Orange County grand jury both dated June 17 and obtained this week by TPM.”
