Firefighters Who Transported Baby in Truck Reinstated
by Tammy on March 8, 2016Update to this story. Heroes in the face of micro-managing regulations that normally stop the right thing from happening. In this case, the regulations failed, and heroes saved a baby’s life. Via CNN. Virginia firefighters James Kelly and Virgil Bloom did what they believed was in the best interest of a baby when they rushed her to a hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

On Monday, Stafford County Fire and EMS Chief Mark Lockhart announced that the two firefighters, who had been placed on leave, were reinstated. “I want to make clear that the reason...

Muñoz, 32, of The Bronx, was supposed to have been given the chance to adopt the dog after deployment. But as The Post revealed, at least two Pentagon employees, along with contractor K2 Solutions, have been secretly dumping military dogs out to civilians instead of offering them to their handlers. Kim Scarborough, 52, was one of those civilians. She found Muñoz’s name on Ben’s deployment papers. She had told The Post after reaching out to...

Owner of Deli Attacked by Machete Terrorist to Fly Bigger Israeli Flag
by Tammy on February 16, 2016I love this. Standing taller and defending our values is one of the important actions we must take against terrorism and the enemies of this country in general. Why are things getting worse? Because Obama’s agenda involves bowing, retreat and surrender. While Obama may have been able to ‘fundamentally change’ some of our policies for a finite period of time, he can’t change the American people. Via The Tower, HT Daily Caller. The assailant, identified by police as 30-year-old Mohamed Barry, “came in and asked where I was from,” Baransi told The Tower. While Baransi was at home nursing a headache at the time, one of his employees– a young waitress– told Barry that the owner is from Israel. The...

Video: ‘Veterans Against The Deal’ In Scathing New Ad
by Shifra on August 11, 2015Obama has attacked anti-nuke deal Republicans, comparing them to Iran’s hardliners. And he has accused American Jews of “dual loyalty” for opposing the plan. So, will he call these Vets “just like ISIS?” Via Bloomberg: Obama has said recently that there are only two camps: those who support the deal versus those who would prefer a bloody and costly war like the conflict in Iraq. The new ad campaign complicates that, asserting that the deal itself will lead to more war. And the voices putting forth that case do not prefer war; they are soldiers who have had enough of it. The group, Veterans Against the Deal, was founded last month as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, and it does not disclose...
