[FREEBEACON] Thomas Eric Duncan, the first and only person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, is currently at death's door, and "fighting for his life," according to Dr. Tom Frieden, the Director of the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
"As of now, the man in Dallas [Texas], who's fighting for his life, is the only patient to develop Ebola in the U.S. We know that there are going to be other concerns and rumors and we'll track everyone one of those down. We want people to be concerned, but appropriately concerned, about people who have the travel and the symptoms that might suggest they need testing for Ebola, and if they do we'll get that testing done promptly," Frieden said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Government and health officials have scrambled to quell public fears since Duncan was diagnosed late last week.

The problem is we've seen so much institutional lying from this regime and the bureaucracy under it that they have no credibility, even if telling the truth

"Captain Trips" (from The Stand) had a 99.something fatality rate, extremely contagious, was airborne, and symptoms looked, at first, like the common ordinary flu.

[THEHILL] Democrats are starting to play the blame game as they face the possibility of losing the Senate in November.
Tempers are running high a month out from Election Day, with polls showing Democratic candidates trailing in the crucial battleground states that will decide whether control of Congress flips to Republicans.
The behind-the-scenes tension broke into the open last week when former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) questioned Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, currently majority leader ... 's (D-Nev.) decision not to endorse Democrat Rick Weiland in South Dakota's Senate race.
Pro-immigrant advocacy groups, meanwhile, are saying Democrats should not blame them if Latino voters don't turn up to the polls on Election Day. They say President B.O. made a tactical blunder by postponing an executive order easing deportations.
And grassroots organizers are grumbling about Alison Lundergan Grimes's (D-Ky.) bid to take down Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), arguing her campaign has been disorganized.
"Yes, you've seen pre-emptive finger pointing in the last couple of weeks," said Gerald Warburg, a former Senate Democratic leadership aide and assistant dean at the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy.
"I used to work in the Democratic caucus and some of the toughest shootouts we ever engaged in were when we stood in a circle and fired at each other. I think you see a little bit of that now," he said.
With control of the Senate in jeopardy, some Democrats are eyeing potential scapegoats: Obama's low approval rating; low turnout from Hispanic voters; overly centrist messaging; and the media, to name just a few.
One of the Senate's most vulnerable incumbents, Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) recently said he wants to replace Reid by electing Sen. Chuck Schumer Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower. (D-N.Y.) as majority leader. He made the comments at a fundraiser, according to audio obtained by The Washington Free Beacon.
Pryor said the "best thing that could happen" to the Senate would be if McConnell "gets beat and Harry Reid gets replaced."
With an eye on saving his majority, Reid adopted a strategy of limiting legislative amendments to protect vulnerable colleagues from tough votes that could be used against them on the campaign trail.
Those moves have at times proved controversial with fellow Democrats, such as Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska), one of the party's most endangered incumbents.

Seems just a week ago they were claiming Republicn claims of their taking the Senate were looking shakey. Guess it depends upon how you carefully word and weight those polls I guess.
[FREEBEACON] U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes is lying about her support for the state's coal industry according to Kentucky Democrats, including members of her campaign team, who were captured on a hidden camera video.
The video, produced by conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe, shows five employees of the Grimes campaign and local Democratic Party affiliates speculating that the Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) is only professing her support for the industry out of political expediency.
"If we can get her elected do you think she is going to do the right thing and she's gonna try to wipe out that coal industry and go for better resources?" asks an undercover videographer in one segment of the video.

Why would this be news? She's a politician - they're always lying about everything; it's the key job requirement.

It's not just Democrats. *Everyone* runs to the right of their actual positions. Pols know what we want -- and absolutely refuse to give it to us. At least so long as we are stupid enough to keep voting for the same idiots with the same lies.
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] In one month, voters will go to the polls to elect the entire House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. Will the midterms be clean? Could some elections be stolen? Everyone ostensibly agrees that voters have a right to know that their decision is not being ignored. And a clear majority supports a simple way to make sure: voter ID.
You would not know it if you read only the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... or watched only MSNBC, but the Left and President B.O. are losing their fight to block the widespread introduction of voter ID cards. In courts of law and the court of public opinion, the issue is gaining traction. With few exceptions, liberal pressure groups have lost lawsuits in state after state, with courts tossing out their faux claims that ID laws are discriminatory, unconstitutional or suppress minority voting.

It could help clean out the system some but only if it is enforced. Right now, they hop the border, and at the food stamp office, they are registered to vote with motor voter crap.
#2
Any kind of vote fraud is treason. It is an attempt to overthrow the government by rigging an election. Anyone involved should be tried and convicted, then put against the wall and shot. Including those who like to 'find' ballot boxes forgotten in their trunk.
#4
Red states will have voter ID. Blue states won't. The net of this will be to keep red states red and blue states blue.
Next step is to purge voter rolls every four years. That would go a very long way toward reducing multiple registrations, dead voters, etc. Put another way, it makes wholesale vote fraud (i.e. the entire Democratic party) much more expensive.
#5
I agree on purging the rolls. Perhaps every election should require re-registering.
I'd also like to see a movement away from absentee ballots. Yeah you can fill them out at home but you should drop them into the box at the booth so your ID can be checked and your ballot can be counted along with the rest of them instead of getting lost along the way.
I don't know what the military overseas should do but they need to figure out something because its just too damn easy to disenfranchise them with the current system.
[CBSNEWS] Former President Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... urged voters in his home state Monday not to use the midterm election as a protest against the White House, as he toured the state to help Democrats' efforts to prevent a GOP takeover in Arkansas.
Clinton kicked off a series of rallies in Arkansas on Monday, praising Democratic candidates in close races for U.S. Senate, House and governor as people willing to work with both parties for the good of the state. He also criticized Republicans' efforts to tie Democrats to President Barack Obama

Anybody who is dumb enough to believe anything Bill Clinton says deserves whatever they get.
#4
He's doing this with a wink and a nod. When he says "Don't protest against Obama" he really means "Hell yes protest against Obama".
He wants Obama's team humiliated and driven to the outskirts of the Dem party. He wants Hillary to be able to campaign for the middle. A Republican wave will actually do Bill a favor.

Unfortunately there are a lot of unbelievers that get it too.
Yeah. Sorry about that. We're all in this boat together and if we have dumb asses at the helm then we are all up the proverbial creek.
[Washington Post] It's going to be a rough week for President B.O., thanks in part to his former CIA director and defense secretary, Leon Panetta ...former SecDef, previously Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Panetta served as President Bill Clinton's White House Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 and was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993.... , who in an interview published this morning said the president has "kind of lost his way." "Baa baa baa..."
By not pressing the Iraqi government to leave more U.S. troops in the country, he "created a vacuum in terms of the ability of that country to better protect itself, and it's out of that vacuum that ISIS began to breed," Panetta told USA Today, referring to the group also known as the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
He said Obama has a "frustrating reticence to engage his opponents and rally support for his cause" and too frequently "relies on the logic of a law professor rather than the passion of a leader." Sometimes, he told USA Today's Susan Page, Obama "avoids the battle, complains, and misses opportunities."
The USA Today interview was the first of what inevitably will be a series as he promotes his book, "Worthy Fights: A Memoir of Leadership in War and Peace," which is sharply critical of Obama's handling of the troop withdrawal from Iraq, Syria and the advance of the Islamic State. "I think we're looking at kind of a 30-year war" that will also sweep in conflicts in Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen and Libya, he told the paper.

OK Leon - where was this WHILE YOU WERE ON THE JOB?

Ag, the former Klingon master and foreign policy expert finally speaks. Thanks Leon, for highlighting these previously unknown facts regarding an indolent, out-of-touch Champ. Who could have possibly known? Thanks also for your sage predictive analysis of the '30 year war' which has appeared out of nowhere. I always assumed you were a sycophantic piece of kak. Your recent interviews and the timing and release of your new book simply confirms my assessment.

Neh, I've seen many like him an academy: strait A students, beloved by their teachers/thesis supervisor. Get tenure, grants, etc... can't produce publications.

Panetta is as much a political animal as Obama. As said if he disagreed so much with Obama, why didn't he say something previously or submit his resignation? He is more of a Clintonite than in Obama's camp. It looks like he is paving the way for Hillary.
