Posted on 01/30/2013 3:05:20 PM PST by Dallas59
CHICAGO - The godfather of a 15-year-old girl who was killed when a gunman opened fire on a group of young people in Chicago says she was a terrific student who had dreams of becoming a doctor or a lawyer.
Damon Stewart says Hadiya Pendleton had been so excited about a trip to Washington, D.C., where she performed as a majorette at some of President Barack Obama's inauguration events.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Should read: "Teen girl who performed at president's inaugural events fatally shot on Chicago's South Side"
This story makes me very sad. A beautiful girl, with a wonderful smile, and a wonderful future ahead of her. An honor student. Just so sad,,,,,,,,,,
Holder's peeps takin' care of Holder's peeps.
I'm surprised President Soetoro hasn't politicized this yet.
Must be off skeet shooting.
Obama as good as killer her.
Chicago Huh. Maybe they need some kind of Gun control.
Chicago obviously needs more gun control.
"Im surprised President Soetoro hasnt politicized this yet."
His press is doing it for him.
"This story makes me very sad. A beautiful girl, with a wonderful smile, and a wonderful future ahead of her. An honor student. Just so sad,,,,,,,,,,"
Reduced to "political capital" by every Democrat and RINO — and more than half of American voters.
Owed = owned
Wish there was an edit feature.
When will they get the needed "Gun Free Zone" posters up in all areas? /sarc
Will the media shine a spotlight on the large number of murders in Chicago now? I'm guessing they won't, because they don't want to say or do anything that might reflect badly on their guy, Obama.
If she was armed, may be she would have been able to resist her attacker. Stay loaded, my friends.
What difference... does it make?
Chicago? Benghazi? They are dead... and we all know the GOP gun nuts are at fault!
MSM will continue to ignore Chicago violence because to do otherwise makes zero look bad.
Thus condemning to death, even more of their youth.
Instead they would rather focus on ammo clip size, than deviant behavior.
shot in the back
This is such a tragedy on so many levels. What a beautiful, promising young lady. Another innocent lost to some feral animal. The youth are the scariest, they just plain don't give a damn. My prayers offered to her family and friends. How I wish there was more. Makes me sad...but makes me angrier than ever.
Darn global warming ;)
Waiting for an Obama photoOp and tearful speech. He'll blame the shooting on Bush.
Why hasn't he told his stooge Emanuel to clean up Chicago?
No wonder Obama is known as "Mr. Present". He just stands around and never does anything positive.
Gee, 4 more years of "Being There".
Am I the only one who noted
"a gunman opened fire on a group of young people in Chicago "
And seen in another article
"Police said gang members were at the park where Hadiya was killed but she was not a gang member."
Sleep with dogs, ya get...fleas.
It IS NOT gun violence - it's GANG violence.
Man, one would think the entirety of the MSM is blind.
She'll still cast her first vote after she turns 18.
Thanks Dallas59.
Who cares? Not the left.
She wasn't white, the shooter wasn't white, and the gun wasn't registered.

|In response to Re: Dishwasher installation
: Hi, I have purchased a new dishwasher and need help with installation. The home (100+ years old) was never designed for a dishwasher, so this is a new installation. The problem I am having is that the location of the dishwasher is around the corner from the sink and the drain hose that came with the dishwasher will not reach. Couple of questions: Is there a limit to how far a dishwasher can drain? Is an air gap necessary if draining into a disposal assuming i loop the line high under the counter?

Skip to comments.Maddow:Only the NRA claims that we shouldn't pass laws that people wont follow(MSNBC 4/5/2013)
Posted on 04/05/2013 7:35:17 PM PDT by sickoflibs
Tonight (4/5/2013) clever MSNBC Maddow was playing clips of NRA Wayne Wayne LaPierre responding to the question:
What is wrong with these different proposed gun laws like background checks and magazine sizes? (clip of Megan Kelly question )
with Because criminals wont follow them only law abiding citizens will(LaPierre response) .
Now I could easily come up with arguments pros/cons of using that as a general guideline for rejecting laws.
But then Maddow throws in her punch line :
No one else but the NRA uses that argument against laws to be passed, that we shouldnt pass laws that wont be followed.
So immediately an example came to mind:
How about liberals very frequently used argument that we cant pass laws against abortions because pregnant women will find a way to get them anyway and that will be dangerous for them to do.
Or Restated libs including Maddow argue
Two years......armed rebellion or death -
Standup and fight or lay down and die.
Good counter.
But it would be lost on Maddow. She wouldn't know what pregnancy is.
Guns and guts ping!
I submit the Progressive position on Border security and drug laws as proof madcow is a dumb little boy.
Or, to put it a different way, as verbalized in 1970-71, "Freedom's just another word for 'nothing left to lose...'"
We'll be seeing more and more of that sentiment expressed as the response to the attempt to make the U.S. "just another Soviet Union, or Cuba, or Venezuela," countries in the dust bin of history.
It is actually a very weak argument.
All you need to do is look at obvious intuitive laws.
Why have murder laws when there will always be murderers? Only law-abiding people will not murder?
I said I could argue pros and cons.
Yes, on one hand it is not the strongest argument for those reasons you give, esp in political fights like these.
He is saying that the new laws wont prevent murders and will only make criminals out of those who don't commit crimes with them now.
Suicide is illegal. How's that working out?
IMO, laws against murder (for example) for the most part end up punishing the murderer after the fact rather than actually preventing murder.
Sure she does... To Madcow, pregnancy is an illness one must first contract in order to get an abortion, preferably an abortion paid by taxpayers.
Well, it wouldn't matter at all if they were not on a winning streak 3 out of the past 4 national elections (2006 to 2012) two of (the 3) which were POTUS years.
Maybe we need to start trying to stop assuming they will always lose and counter their arguments.
The comparison isn't accurate. Most of the new gun laws are enacting law restricting a normally legal activity born out of a recognized right, because a very few people might abuse it.
A better comparison would be like requiring woman to register within 24 hour of finding out if they are pregnant so that the government can monitor the pregnancy and prosecute the mother if she fails through negligence or criminal act to bring the child to term.
There, one could argue that the only people who would register would be the ones who didn't intend to kill their children, so what good would it do at the cost of extending goverment intrusiveness?
Oh how I wish there was a Conservative alternative to MSNBC.
We'll see if this has any promise
Thanks for the ping.
Someone said liberalism is a mental illness. This helps prove the point.
Thank you for the ping.
You hit on a good and very valid point I been making for a while.
I watch MSNBC much more than I do FNC because I get more out of seeing what they are up to on MSNBC than FNC commercialized entertainment channel.
I watch Cavuto daily and sometimes Baur and Megan Kelly is entertaining. No Hannity, O Reilly or Greta for me and F+F is terrible
FNC is the GOP/entertainment channel and MSNBC is the liberal(progressive) political activist channel.
They (MSNBC) are constantly on issues and arguments and progressive movements. Maddow, O Donnell, Hayes, Harris Perry even sleeze-bag Sharpton are activists,
More proof : MSNBC is live EVERY primetime (8 to 11 weeknights) and FNC is playing pre-recorded shows at those same times. They have a mission. FNC mission is just to make $$$$.
Men can't get preggers silly.
Good point sick - It would be nice to have a political activist channel for our side too...
This is my serious conclusion after years of watching and analyzing these two networks.
At a gym I go to here both FNC and MSMBC are both on side by side which is what I want to see.
MSNBC is the progressive (Lean Forward) activist channel
We need a regressive activist channel that champions age old time and tested ideas like traditional Mom and Dad families (being killed the past decades) and why they are best for society.
Ideas that many immigrants coming here believe in that American popular culture is killing.
MSNBC was much more fun when Keith Olbermann was around. Watching him have a meltdown when the GOP took control of the House was classic entertainment.
I disagree somewhat.
MSNBC and their hosts are obsessed with Conservative Republicans to the point that is all they talk about.
Sure, the talk is smearing, degrading and mocking them, but that is what they do - the Alinsky tactic of making it personal; and then destroying the person.
There is little to no talk about Liberal solutions to problems, just maintaining the status quo.
No, it is all part of their political activist strategy.
In POTUS election years especially 2012 this 'they are coming for YOU' message is especially effective in getting non-whites out to vote against the GOP.
That is what you are seeing.
Off year elections like 2010 and 2014 it is less effective,
Dems now outnumber Republicans so its 'get out the vote' game.
" I watch Cavuto daily and sometimes Baur and Megan Kelly is entertaining. No Hannity, O Reilly or Greta for me and F+F is terrible "
Yep to all.
I find Fox to be boring. All they do is invite a GOP Congresscritter and let him/her recite the latest talking points for 5 minutes.
Chris Matthews and Lawrence O'D are arrogant jerks. Can't stand them. However, Chris Hayes try to assemble a liberal panel to talk about an issue for an hour. It can be interesting. Rachel Maddow is good at opposition research and zeroing in on Republican weak spots.
LOD was especially obnoxious when he was a guest before he had his show, in 2004 on the Scarbouro night-time MSNBC show he shouted down Jim O Neill (Swift Boat) when Buchanan was guest host, repeatedly calling him 'liar'.
But unfortunately many times he nails down exactly what is going on and how it will play out on his show.
He nailed down the Palin run in early 2011 pointing out how she had a commentator contract with FNC and wasn't planning a run(per campaign law) . Meanwhile FNC whose top execs knew she wasn't running (per law) still encouraged their 'newscasters' to tease their audience with a possible election run segment after segment for $$$, esp Greta.

Love these (narrow) shoes
"I awarded 4 *s because they are 1) So sexy, beautiful & flattering, 2) Super hard to find pretty sandals in navy, 3) Decent heel height & can actually walk in these, 4) Comfortable for a short time. However, these are not stretchy and the wide size shoes are not actually wide enough, so if you plan to be on your feet for any length of time you will be sorry."

Chafe at ankle and stick to foot
"These sandals have a plastic ankle strap which chafed my ankle when I wore them--the strap also looks like it will crack before long. The sole is a synthetic which stuck to my foot--you would have to wear hose in the summer with these sandals, which defeats the purpose of a sandal to me. This sandal is very similar to comfortable and stylish LifeStride navy sandals I was looking to replace, but are more cheaply made. These sandals look stylish, but are uncomfortable due to the strap and base."

Super cute, but plastic footbed not for me....
"Love the style and the fit but you must wear some type of hosiery with these or your feet will really stink/smell after even one use. Ridiculous that most of the shoes that cost $50+ are nothing more than plastic bottoms. Not too good for wear here in Texas."

I'm from Greensboro, North Carolina. In fact, my mom, dad and brother are all natives of the Tarheel state.
We moved to Huntsville when I was in the third grade, because my father got a job with the Army Missile Command at Redstone Arsenal.
I grew up during the heyday of the work developing America's first missiles, and the Saturn 5 program at Marshall Space Flight Center.
One of my best memories is the way the whole town shook when they tested the Saturn 5's main engines in the mid-60's.
I graduated from Huntsville High School and then went to Auburn, where I majored in Journalism, with minors in speech, English, and history. After graduation, I started work in Anniston at a small TV station that no longer exists, WHMA.
In May of 1977, my family moved back to the Rocket City, and I took a job as Sports Director at what was then called Action News 19.
In late 1999 I started making the transition from sports to news at WHNT News 19. I've been Senior Reporter, and Special Assignment Reporter, and now I'm the co-anchor of our week day morning news. I still report, and you can see my weekly "Driving You Crazy" stories on Tuesday nights at 10:00. In fact, if you have a road or traffic problem that concerns you, please send me an e-mail.
Among other things I also do our "Leadership Perspectives" interviews that are posted on WHNT.Com every Friday, and can also seen on our Sunday morning news.
My wife Sue is the Office Manager for Retina Services of North Alabama. I have two married sons, one of whom, Chris, works at Huntsville Hospital. My other son, Wes, is married with one son. His family lives in Spring Hill, Tennessee and he works at Caterpillar-Financial in Nashville.
You may see me from time to time, riding my bike on the the streets, and roads of north Alabama.
I collect first edition books, and my wife and I are modest collectors of art…especially by local artists. I'm honored to be the Vice President of the Huntsville Arts Council.
I may be from North Carolina, and my wife from Atlanta, but we both consider Huntsville our home town.

Skip to comments."State Dept. claims records gone for Stanley Ann Dunham prior to 1968"
Posted on 04/23/2011 10:37:33 AM PDT by Politics4US
"Oops! Obama mama passport 'destroyed' State Dept. claims records gone for Stanley Ann Dunham prior to 1968"
Read more: Oops! Obama mama passport 'destroyed' http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=186677#ixzz1KMts36Oo
Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, the State Department has released passport records of Stanley Ann Dunham, President Obama's mother but records for the years surrounding Obama's 1961 birth are missing.
The State Department claims a 1980s General Services Administration directive resulted in the destruction of many passport applications and other "nonvital" passport records, including Dunham's 1965 passport application and any other passports she may have applied for or held prior to 1965.
Destroyed, then, would also be any records shedding light on whether Dunham did or did not travel out of the country around the time of Barack Obama's birth.
The claim made in the Freedom of Information response letter that many passport records were destroyed during the 1980s comes despite a statement on the State Department website that Passport Services maintains U.S. passport records for passports issued from 1925 to the present.
The records released, however, contain interesting tidbits of new information about Obama's mother, including the odd listing of two different dates and locations for her marriage to Obama's Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.

Quelle surprise!
What did "Toot" know that put the Kenyan's reign of power in jeopardy? We've got a very corrupt government right now. Very corrupt.
Passport? What passport? We don't got to show you no stinking passport!
Dark forces are at work here.
Exactly and I don't think we should go in to free any more countries when we are not free.
And the anti-Birthers, Obama Supporters, and the Rove-ers just want to ignore this issue.
The more that comes out....the more the GOP and GOP Talk Radio/Media is in the tank for Obama.
The all-pervasive Obama deceit and cover up machine at work.
This is all tooooo convenient to be just coincidence. The Deceiver in Chief is doing his best to cover his tracks.
This was released last August. I thought it was important when I read it, but it didn't get a lot of attention so I posted it again.
For a "single mom on food stamps" (as Obama puts it) she seems to have been involved will a lot of well connected people throughout her lifetime.
Hows this: Maybe Staney Ann was born a boy but became a Trainie and adopted 0bambi with Obama SR, from a family who's real daughter got knocked up out of wedlock in a mixed race scandal. Almost ready for viewing on Lifetime TV. I really hope the sordid truth comes out soon!
Has Karl Rove ever met an undocumented worker he did NOT like?
Too many inconsistencies. Too many unanswered questions. Too many 'missing' pieces. Something is wrong.
"The Deceiver in Chief is doing his best to cover his tracks."
"To know how to deceive is the knowledge of kings. One may employ any means against one's enemies"- Cardinal Richelieu
You can bet your booties that there was a trunkful of mama and Obama papers and I'll bet that included passports with photos. And you can bet that Obama burned them all. Hence, his "no witnesses" trip to Hawaii.
I remember discussing how in Iraq how so many people could allow a dictator to take their country from them and that is what is happening to us at this point in time and it seems we aren't doing a thing about it.
I just hope we do our job in 2012 in order to stop what is going on otherwise we will be in the same boat the people of Iraq found theirselves in.
Strange when you add all of the following on top of it all...
The video of how the investigator found it and what she found
Susan Daniel's Affidavit Regarding Obama's Social Security Number(s)
Why would a US Citizen find it necessary to have to steal a social security number when all he had to do is present a birth certificate and get his own legally?

I know,, i agree with you. I feel nuts to think it too. This guy is in one suspicious situation after another,,always refusing to explain anything except with obvious lies, and then accuses us of being nuts.
He's not very bright, and has limited education and experience, and yet somehow wound up president.
He has a deep disgust for America, and sees his job as putting us in our place. He was PLACED in this job by people who want to reduce America.
Oh, but she was cremated.
But surely Obama has "something" he owns that has mom and dad's DNA.
I'm starting to think that Obama was really the baby of daddy's other wife.
Dan Rather. Paging Dan Rather. Please pick up the white courtesy phone in the lobby. Your document creation skills are wanted.
Just in time for the 2012 campaign!
I'm not a birther. But, even I have to admit this just gets more and more strange.
Indeed. Isn't that — convenient?
Absolute proof that these people went around filing whatever fake documents they pleased.
The SOB has hidden every trace of his past. In my 47 years I've never heard of that.
"The more that comes out....the more the GOP and GOP Talk Radio/Media is in the tank for Obama."
That's pretty clear at this point. The question is why?
Some say that all these people have been promised a lifeboat when the inevitable (economic) collapse occurs. All they have to do is make sure their people don't get out of line.
Who knows if that's true; just a theory by some.
and I want that Mars flag.......
Just curious... how much strange would it take for you to be a 'birther?'
Oops! Well I really do.
Just about everything Dunham did in her young life had CIA written all over it. From her bio:
"Dunham studied at the University of Hawaii and the East-West Center..."
The East-West Center, headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, is an education and research organization established by the U.S. Congress in 1960 to strengthen relations and understanding among the peoples and nations of Asia, the Pacific and the United States.
There is almost no way this wouldn't have heavy CIA involvement.
She worked as a consultant for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Often used for CIA purposes.
Dunham was also employed by the Ford Foundation in Jakarta. The Ford Foundation has been implicated in CIA activities several times.
She consulted with the Asian Development Bank in Pakistan. This stands out as not-CIA. It is however, a Japanese-influence program with possible connections to Japanese intelligence.
She worked with Bank Rakyat Indonesia. It is Indonesian government owned, when stridently-anti-communist Suhuarto had become dictator and a strong US ally.
She met Obama, Sr. while they were taking a Russian language course in Hawaii. Why Russian? A useful tongue in SE Asia at the time in the Cold War.
After Indonesia, Dunham and her daughter moved back to Hawaii to rejoin her son and begin graduate study in anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Dunham's graduate work was supported by Asia Foundation and East-West Center Technology and Development Institute grant.
The Asia Foundation began in 1951 as the Committee for Free Asia, which, according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), was an ostensibly private body . . . sanctioned by the National Security Council and, with the knowledge of congressional oversight committees, supported with covert indirect CIA funding.
Put it all together, she and her children's education was paid for by the CIA, and she worked for several CIA-affiliated and front organizations.
This likely explains why her and her children's records are somewhat "flexible".
I don't think they are in the tank for Obama, they are in the tank for the system that they depend on for their income, their power, and their position. They defend this corrupt system of privileges above all else, including their Country. They wink at corruption if exposing it would jeopardize the system.
They make me sick.
Wouldn't there be a public record if mom had been on food stamps?
Another disappearing record?
Obama's first job was supposedly with a CIA front. Google it.
Ayers changes this into "The Temptation of Obama" with some story Obama almost went corporate chasing money. Instead he became a community organizer and The One.
Well isn't that conVEEENient.
Geeee ..... aint that sumpthin? But it aint nutin new. Ya know Bill Clintons passport records coverring his Soviet student days also disappeared. And we the people didn't give a S**t back then either.
How conveeeeeeeeeeenient.
With her family's Communist Party connections, could she have been a deep cover, double agent working for the Russkies?
I sometimes think that the reason Obama changes poliicies so fast is that he is getting conflicting orders from the multiple foreign governments that think he's "theirs". For example, he may be getting instructions from both the Saudis and the Russians.
Bowing and appearing to kiss the Saudi king's ring was a clue. Remember the strange reception he got in Russia where cabinet ministers turned away and refused to shake Obama's hand?
Who in the heck is Obama?
No School records released that would allow someone to see where he claimed he was born.
Mom's passport records missing?
who knows, maybe she was a double-agent.

Fading Titans stumble again
FULLERTON Last-place Cal State Northridge came into its game against Cal State Fullerton on Thursday as one of the worst defensive teams in the Big West.
The Matadors were also without their best player and were playing their third game in a row on the road against a Fullerton team ranked No. 1 in the conference in scoring.
But none of that mattered.
The Titans couldn't overcome poor shooting in the first half and were outrebounded by 20 en route to a 92-86 defeat at Titan Gym. Sixteen of the Matadors' 47 rebounds were on the offensive end.
The loss put the Titans (11-10, 4-5 Big West) below .500 in conference for the first time and dropped them into seventh place.
Fullerton, loser of four of the past five, fell behind, 39-29, at the half after making only 9 of 28 shots.
The Titans turned it around in the second, sinking 21 of 35 shots, but the effort wound up being futile since the Matadors shot more than 50 percent in both halves.
"We've got to defend and rebound," Fullerton interim coach Andy Newman said. "Those two things are the most important things in this sport and if you don't do them, you are not going to win.
"We haven't been able to prove that we can do that and until we do, we will always be up and down."
Fullerton closed the deficit to three twice in the second half, the second time with 10:38 remaining.
But after Sammy Yeager's layup made it 61-58, the Matadors went on a 7-0 run to pull ahead by 10 with 5:13 left.
Fullerton's final chance came with the Matadors up six with 53 second left and Yeager at the free-throw line shooting a one-and-one.
Yeager missed the critical first free throw and the Matadors pulled down the rebound.
From there Fullerton was forced to foul, but Northridge converted all 10 free throws down the stretch.
Fullerton's Kwame Vaughn led all scorers with 28 points. Yeager finished with 21, with 20 coming in the second half.
Tre Hale-Emerson led Northridge with 17 points and was among four Matadors in double figures. Northridge also got 22 points from the bench.
Before the game, Newman said there were no telltale signs of what was to come.
"I thought we had great practices," the coach said. "I thought we had a great shootaround and pregame warm-up and then the ball went up and we had guys thinking about other things. … It (the hustle) wasn't there from the tip."
The Matadors were without sophomore guard Stephen Hicks (left knee injury), their leading scorer and rebounder.

1) Why Didn't Louisiana Follow it's Emergency Plan? Why isn't anyone talking about this?
2) Why hasn't anyone mentioned that a Pre-Requisite for a Federal Response BY LAW is that State Law is Executed and the Emergency Plan is Executed FIRST?
3) Why did the Governor abandon the City of New Orleans for the Safety of Baton Rouge, before the Plan was Executed?
4) Why, when the federal Government was acting in accordance with the Stafford Act, did the State of Louisiana, by its Governors acts, delay making requests when being told this storm was going to hit?
5) Why did Mayor Nagin or Governor Blanco, delay while sleeping on it Saturday night, the Mandatory evacuation spelled out in the Louisiana Emergency Plan? Saturday the Mayor said he may order an evacuation tomorrow. (Sunday)
6) Where were the Parish Presidents who were signatories to the Louisiana Emergency Plan, and why did they fail in its Execution to the plan?
7) In the Parish failure to implement, why didn't the State take over as required by the plan?
8) Why weren't the Hospitals nursing homes, etc. evacuated since the plan required them to do so?
9) Why did the Mandatory evacuation only occur AFTER President Bush called, and why did Governor Blanco stress that it was only after President Bush Called to urging the Evacuation order? Was she concerned for the Citizens, or was she grandstanding so she could blame the President if the Storm didn't hit?
10) Why were the Action Plan implementations required not done by the Local and State Government?

Blanco declares state of emergency as Katrina shifts west
The governor this evening has declared a state of emergency as a major shift west in the projected track of Hurricane Katrina threatens Southeastern Louisiana.
At 5 p.m. federal forecasters made a significant westward shift in the projected path of Katrina, moving the New Orleans area much nearer the center of the cone of warning, with projected landfall now in the Biloxi area.
Note this Forecast and the declaration is almost 1 1/2 days Prior to the Mandatory Evac being instituted. This statement is reported at 2:29 pm Eastern Saturday. He should have ordered it Sooner than he finally did.
Saturday August 27, 2005 2:29 Eastern.
Mayor Delaying Evacuation along with Governor
"This is not a test," New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin said at a news conference. He said he would probably ask people to leave at daybreak Sunday, and said the Superdome could be pressed into use as a shelter of last resort for people who do not have cars.
That is Proof the Mayor was already stating he was going to delay the Evacuation. This is Past the Time when the Emergency declarations were Issued by the Governor which was done on Friday.
She apparently said this on Saturday, according to a post , at Freerepublic:
Free Republic Link
But that post was placed on 08/27/2005 6:58:21 PM PDT, which is Saturday Night.
Kathleen Blanco - "Lots of people are not aware of this storm because last night when they went to bed the forecast was for it to go into Florida, but overnight that changed to Louisiana."
So she is stating that last night, Friday. It didn't change overnight, she is trying to say she didn't know, and she did.
Sunday August 28, 2005
President Urges Evac
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said that President Bush had called and urged the state to order the evacuation.
So let's get to the Stafford Act linked to above shall we:
1) § 5191. PROCEDURE FOR DECLARATION {Sec. 501}
a.Request and declaration
All requests for a declaration by the President that an emergency exists shall be made by the Governor of the affected State. Such a request shall be based on a finding that the situation is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and the affected local governments and that Federal assistance is necessary. As a part of such request, and as a prerequisite to emergency assistance under this Act, the Governor shall take appropriate action under State law and direct execution of the State's emergency plan. The Governor shall furnish information describing the State and local efforts and resources which have been or will be used to alleviate the emergency, and will define the type and extent of Federal aid required. Based upon such Governor's request, the President may declare that an emergency exists.
NOTE, it says the Following:
A) All requests for a declaration by the President that an emergency exists shall be made by the Governor of the affected State.
B) As a part of such request, and as a prerequisite to emergency assistance under this Act, the Governor shall take appropriate action under State law and direct execution of the State's emergency plan.
Note the word PREREQUISITE. So when the Governor REQUESTED the initial declaration, she was basically lying about the Emergency Plan being implemented.
Now, we take you to the Louisiana Emergency Plan as linked to above.
1) A catastrophic hurricane is defined as a hurricane in Category 3 Slow (5 mph or less forward speed), and categories 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale of hurricane strength (See Annex A). Hurricanes in Category 1, 2 and 3 Fast, are considered less destructive and can be met through the use of normal emergency preparedness procedures on the part of the Parish and State governments.
The overall strategy for dealing with a catastrophic hurricane is to evacuate as much of the at risk population as possible from the path of the storm and relocate them to a place of relative safety outside the projected high water mark of the storm surge flooding and hurricane force winds. The Southeastern Region is generally defined as those parishes which have all or a large part of their population east of the Atchafalaya River Basin and south of a line drawn along Interstates 10 and 12 from Baton Rouge, through Hammond to Slidell. The Region includes the parishes of Ascension, Assumption, Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Terrebonne
2) When a hurricane enters or takes form in the Gulf of Mexico, it is perceived as a potential catastrophic threat to the Southeast Louisiana Region. As the danger from the hurricane requires the initiation of emergency actions, the State Office of Emergency Preparedness and each parish will activate Emergency Operating Centers (EOCs) and declare a state of emergency. The State and parishes will commence planned emergency operations and coordinate their actions including activating and maintaining all means of communications.
Let's Look at the Responsibility of whom during an Evacuation. This can be found beginning on Page 16 0f 45 of the Louisiana Plan.
Voluntary Evacuation:
State Requirements:
State of Louisiana
1. Activate EOC and prepare for 24-hour operations.
2. Put State Departments and the ARC on standby alert in accordance with OEP Implementing Procedures.
3. Put National Guard units on standby alert.
4. Call all nursing homes and other custodial care organizations in the risk areas to insure that they are prepared to evacuate their residents.
5. Alert FEMA of the situation and advise that the State may need Federal assistance.
6. Establish communications with risk area parish EOCs and test all communications means, including conference call procedures.
7. Prepare a proclamation of emergency for the State so that, when needed, State resources can be mobilized to support risk area evacuation and host area sheltering operations.
Prepare proclamations for the State to intervene in local situations if local governments fail to act, in accordance with RS 29:721-735.
***NOTE IT SAYS So State Resources can be mobilized to support evacuation.***
***NOTE IT SAYS for the State to Intervene if Local Governments fail to act.***
Parish Requirements:
1) Local transportation resources should be marshaled and public transportation plans implemented as needed.
2) Announce the location of staging areas for people who need transportation. Public transportation will concentrate on moving people from the staging areas to safety in host parishes with priority given to people with special needs.
Recommended Evacuation:
State Duties:
Mobilize State transportation resources to aid in the evacuation of people who have mobility and/or health problems. Deploy to support risk area parishes.
Coordinate with neighboring states, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, and other states to which evacuees may go, such as Tennessee and Alabama. Advise states of the possible extent of Louisiana's evacuation and recommend appropriate traffic control measures.
Mandatory Evacuation:
NOT ISSUED UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING, so the Governor and Mayor got a good nights sleep Saturday Night, and only after the President urged them to do so, which was publicized in a press conference by Blanco.
a. Risk Area Parishes:
1. Coordinate evacuation orders with State and other risk parishes.
2. Instruct persons living in designated evacuation zones to leave.
3. Impose traffic control to funnel persons to designated evacuation routes.
4. Designate staging areas and other facilities as last resort refuges. People at these locations who cannot be evacuated in time to avoid the storm will remain and take refuge in the designated buildings.
5. Assist persons with mobility limitations to find last resort refuge. Mobilize all transportation resources and request assistance from the state as needed.
6. Continue to update EAS and news media with evacuation information at two-hour intervals.
b. Host Area Parishes:
1. Implement reception and care and traffic control plans.
2. Continue reporting status of shelter spaces and evacuees
accommodated to LOEP every four hours. 3.Continue 24-hour operations.
c.State of Louisiana:
1. Continue 24-hour EOC operations.
2. Consult with risk area parishes to finalize mandatory 01/00 III-6 evacuation orders.
3. Implement mandatory evacuation traffic controls. Convert specified limited access routes to one-way outbound operations. Control main evacuation routes with State resources.
4. Direct the evacuation and shelter of persons having mobility limitations, including persons in nursing homes, hospitals, group homes and non-institutionalized persons.
5. Keep neighboring states informed of status and traffic control decisions.
6. Keep EAS evacuation and shelter information updated on a two-hour basis, or more frequently if information is available on a timelier basis.
7. Keep media informed and updated on evacuation and shelter information.
Now there are several things that were not done according to this plan.
1- Direct the evacuation and shelter of persons having mobility limitations, including persons in nursing homes, hospitals, group homes and non-institutionalized persons.
This was the responsibility of the state, and it DID NOT OCCUR. Evidence Charity Hospital.
NOW, this is very Important to realize, it is the State's plan to implement the Shelter of last Resort. It was not designed for people to stay there:
From Page 29:
A. Staging Areas
The definition of a staging area is a central location, easily accessible to those ambulatory people who are in need of transportation to a shelter.
1. Residents who have no means of transportation will be directed to the staging areas.
2. Transportation vehicles will be pre-positioned to transport residents to shelters.
3. Once the evacuation routes are closed, the staging areas will become Last Resort Refuges.
4. After the storm has passed and the evacuation order is rescinded, transportation will be provided to return people dropped off at shelters to the staging area.
B. Last Resort Refuge
The definition of Last Resort Refuge is a place for persons to be protected from the high winds and heavy rains from the storm. Unlike a shelter, there may be little or no water or food and possibly no utilities. A Last Resort Refuge is intended to provide best available survival protection for the duration of the hurricane only.
1. Once evacuation routes are closed, people who were unable to evacuate the risk area will be directed to last resort refuge and /or staging areas.
2. When it is determined that weather conditions permit, rescue teams will be sent into areas designated for Last Resort Refuge to transport evacuees to designated shelters.
So recap the Failure of the State and City here:
People were directed there, but No Transportation from there was used apparently before the storm. The superdome was only to be used during the duration of the hurricane.
Where were the Staging Areas?
Where was the Required Mobilization of State Resources?
Now go to Page 36 of the Plan. Here it starts talking about specifically what is need to evacuate the population.

Depending on the speed and strength of a hurricane and the number of people who are at risk, the time at which decisions must be made to evacuate will vary. The attached tables give information on the times at which action to evacuate people must be taken if the total number of people in the risk area is to be evacuated in Category 3 (Slow), 4 and 5 hurricanes. A summary of information is given for each category. These times are for Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard and St. Tammany. The times for Terrebonne, Assumption, Lafourche, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, Ascension and Tangipahoa would be less.
Evacuees: Gives the total number of people assumed to evacuate in response to the threat of a hurricane (not always 100% of vulnerable population).
Vehicles: An estimate of the average number of vehicles that would be used by the maximum number of evacuees.
Cut-Off Hours: The number of hours before a hurricane reaches landfall at which evacuation must be stopped because gale force winds would be blowing over evacuation bridges, making travel dangerous. The number of miles from landfall is also given.
Clearance Hours: The number of hours needed to move 100% of the evacuating population, given smooth traffic flow, out of the risk area. In the larger category storms, figures are slower for clearance times in which traffic flows as it does normally, as well as for traffic flow if designated routes are converted to one-way outbound traffic. A 2+2-hour figure is included to accommodate two hours to begin the evacuation and two hours to bring the evacuation to a stop. Total Decision Hours: The total number of hours before hurricane landfall when the decision to call for evacuation must be made if an effort to move all risk area residents is to be made.
For The Record, President Bush declared the requested State of Emergency on Saturday, August 27,2005
For The Record, President Bush declared a Major Disaster on Monday, August 29, 2005
The Levees were known to be leaking on Tuesday, and newspapers that morning were downplaying the damage done to New Orleans.
The amount of Federal help that did arrive was being mobilized and sent starting Tuesday. It took the Feds two days to get help there. Pretty Good, I say.
It is my contention that due to the incompetence of the Governor of Louisiana as well as others, such as Mayor Nagin, and all affected Parish Presidents, as well as Governor Blanco personally downplaying the ramifications of this storm, and her inability to implement the Emergency Plan when she was given plenty of notice that potentially thousands of people have died.
How could a city that had foreseen this type of event failed so miserably to enact any plan at all. How could these Parish Presidents not have had people go door to door to evacuate them. Orleans Parish contains the City of New Orleans, and their failure to impress on their citizens in advance of this storm through community education the importance of leaving is a sad truth to this story.
Others can feel free to add timeline events or other information, but the Local and State Governments delay in following the plan has killed many. Why were all those buses sitting under water?
Wonderful work! I have been looking for a single coherent list of local government failings (with timeline) to reference while arguing with Dems on other forums. Thanks for the help.
Because school buses don't have bathrooms............
i sure am glad that she did stress that BUSH called for the evacuation....this may spell the end to her political career as she failed to act and that the president had to go over her head to do the right thing
Excellent summary. This needs to be hammered home. Since the MSM will never admit that local authorities were at fault, it needs to be passed on all over the internet, emailed to friends, and explained by word of mouth.
The MSM have never been more corrupt and ignorant than they have shown themselves to be in this emergency.
Mayor's orders:
Wow, you're a quick reader. lol
That is what prompted me to put this together. Hopefully this is the story that is also talked about instead of teh Fed bashing that has been going on.
This does not blame BUSH, expect the MSM to ignore all this information, based on law, to be ignored.Well except for Senator Spector who will probably quote some obscure Scottish law to protect Nagin and Blanco. Hey, you don't suppose some lawsuits will come out of this against Blanco, Nagin, Parrish presidents and the like do you?
also to answer all your questions in order from most important...well...i'll just answer them all at once:
There is a CAT 5 hurricane in the Gulf headed your way and you decide NOT to implement your Evacuation Plan. Wonder when you would ever implement it? What could possibly be worse.
Nice work. Will come in handy.
Well, you've certainly been busy.
Who needs the MSM? The Old Media is dead. Long live the New Media.
What a wonderful thing INTERNET. Looks like if these are the 'FACTS', we have some work to do to make sure this doesn't happen again, and we don't blame Presidents, just because the Main Stream Media has baited the event to pin blame on someone they don't like. Now, let's have a few routine evacuation tests scheduled for coastal cities, and those that want to live close to seawalls, sunken swamps and swollen rivers, count the cost... Thanks for this post. I am sure the Governor and the Mayor both in hind sight, would have done a thousand things different. No one actually knew. Good things can come about because of all of this.
Could it be because the local and state governments are run by assclowns?
Yes - she's a Democrat and she is considered a "minority" as a female in government employ: She has a double-coat of protection from culpability.
weaponsgrade PING
I don't start threads very often. This one took me quite a bit of time, I could have added quite a bit more, but I wanted to concentrate on what has not been addressed yet, and this topic is it for me at least.
I don't think anyone else covered this, if they did, I'll apologize in advance.
Quite a few hours to do it. I hope this gets out.
Maybe the Demoncrats in charge can't read?
Or think?
I'd be happy to. I know enough about it now after doing the research..
I think I'm going to TRANSLATE THIS into Spanish for OLE Mexico.
You should email some of the big shows on Fox News and see if they'll display any of your comments on the air.
Thanks. Keep the heat on, because the MSM will bury the truth and try their best to pin this on Bush.
ROFL...i forgot
I offer these thoughts:
1) Assigning blame publicly is counterproductive to the recovery of the area.
2) If this was offered to defend the government you're preaching to the choir.
3) If this was offered to defend a politically partisan government administration (Republican) your efforts would be better spent to identify, encourage and support qualified, conservative minded, citizens to run for public office, especially in Louisiana.
Why was the LA National Guard never deployed, even after they criticized the Federal Government for not sending military assistance?
Excellant and precise summary, yet state and local officials and MEDIA refuse to acknowledge local and state's failure to take all precautions to protect it's citizens.
"Most people were asleep" Don't they have emergency sirens to alert people, time to get up and get moving. We hear these test sirens on television once a month to remind people. Yet so quick to blame the federal government.
This should to be given to congress, when they start demanding hearings as to why the feds didn't respond. I'm sure the quiet ones (hillary,kerry,and all the others including jackson's son) will be throwing lethal darts next week. Thank you for the post
I was concentrating on what was not covered yet. Feel free to add the links for those threads to this one.
I hope that sooner or later the MSM discovers that New Orleans did have a written emergency plan to cover the evacuation of the poor, but that the idiot mayor of New Orleans ignored it, and allowed the evacuation buses to be ruined by the flood, forgotten.
The city leaders had at least two full days to use these hundreds of buses to evac the poor, exactly as their own emergency management plan called for.
Here's the southeast Louisiana evac plan supplement, most recently revised in 2000. Go to page 13, read paragraph 5. It states:
5. The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating.
What is the date / time of that declaration?
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Thank you Grampa Dave for the ping.
nwctwx,gozilla: ping.
Note that the Superdome was established as a Last-Ditch Refuge, not a shelter. This means it was designed to handle last minute walk-ins and those who couldn't evacuate and that those people were to be evacuated from the last-ditch refuge to a shelter once the hurricane passed. By their definition a last-ditch refuge only has supplies to last through the hurricane.
If they were expecting a Cat 5 that would flood the entire city, what was their plan to evacuate people from the Last-ditch refuge into a shelter? How - by boat? What shelter? What was their plan to shelter thousands of people for months?
This picture of unused buses, which could have saved thousands had the Mayor used them, says it all about who is responsible.
The Dome was to be a staging Area, only for those who could not be evacuated.
From the beginning, they treated it as a shelter. And only 200 Guard Troops.
Yours is the best review of the failures of the state and of the city I have seen. Thanks for the investigative work.
I read a lot of that during the week. One Emergency order and that is about it.
You are expecting reponsible people to to act in a reasonable manner? Uh, never mind, the answer is obvious.
Excellent research. The biggest single reason evacuation plans were not undertaken is that after the Ivan false alarm last year, the LA politicians took a lot of heat and they didn't want to repeat that situation.
IOW, for fear of political reprisal, there was a lack of decisive leadership in a crisis situation.
The conservative radio talk show folks will come back online in full force on Tuesday and that will provide a counter current to the MSM, who've had several days of propoganda dessimination unchallenged. Rush, Hannity and others will turn the tide and set the facts straight.
Care to send this to ALL the news outlets, and the Republicans who have NO CLUE for talking points?
Well Done, Indeed, Sir!!
Wouldn't FEMA have been responsible for sending help to the most devastated regions? And on Monday and early Tuesday those would heve been the gulf coast of Miss, particularly Gulfport and Biloxi. When you see an aerial view of NOLA the homes are under water, but they are still erect. An aerial view of the Miss gulf shows devastation like that of Andrew in Miami in 92. That's where Katrina hit and that's where the immediate need was. I saw on CNN in the late afternoon of Tuesday that the levees had failed. That made the situation completely different. Kind of like an army defending an attack from one direction only to be attacked on its flank. It would take time and organization to move divisions to counter a new threat. the same would apply to disaster relief.

Wow, that's awesome and what a neat challenge.
The imagery is super strong in this one, so many powerful phrases...it really sheds new light on the old fairy tale, and I like new takes on old versions of things a lot.

Those darn mockingbirds are like arial hyenas. Chasing. Circling. Mocking. Always present regardless if you're right or wrong. Beware!

Looking at various customs described throughout Scripture, how are we to understand the application of them in our modern setting? Is there deeper meaning rooted in these teachings, or are they simply cultural issues?

Sproul is the founder and chairman of Ligonier Ministries, an international Christian education ministry located near Orlando, Florida and is known as a leading proponent of Reformed theology.

Jackall Mikey
The highly technical Mikey is one of the latest top-of-the-line Japanese hard baits to reach the U.S. Jackall baits are created using the latest materials and design technology. The prototype of each of these lures is designed on a computer to generate a 3D image of the lure, which is then cut into the actual bait in a matter of minutes. This process allows Jackall to get the lure from idea to design to creation much faster, enabling them to get the baits into the hands of their pro staff in a matter of days or hours. This gives Jackall a great advantage; they are able to tweak a lure to perfection and present it for sale much faster than their competitors. Jackall is raising bass fishing to a whole new level with this sophisticated technology and their new materials and designs.
The Mikey topwater bait is the latest evolution of a design developed in Japan and working well in the U.S. These lures will swim along the top of the water with a wide fishy motion and leave a wake that will direct a bass' attention to what is making the commotion - your lure. The Jackall Mikey is a three section bait with three ultra-sharp hooks that will swim with a lifelike action. The sections knock against each other, producing a noise that bass seem to love, and there are loud metal ball bearings in each section that will produce a noisy, higher pitched rattle. The finish on the Mikey is superb and all the hardware is first class. Mikey is a top-of-the-line topwater walking bait and deserves to be in the boxes of all serious anglers.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I have to say, in 2015, this has become my absolute favorite wakebait-producing a 6lber in NJ on first day of usage. The action is unparalleled and bass absolutely SMASH this thing! Would 100% recommend getting a few of these. Oh and big-medium-small--they all hit this lire
From: Cory: New Jersey 5/22/15
Comments: I'm disappointed in the quality of this lure. The foil on it began to peel off after one trip. Hook rash was responsible for peeling away the foil, since no fish was caught. >HL Aurora Black SR.<
From: Jay: CA 4/22/15
Comments: This lure is amazing! i tied it on the first day i got it and the first cast i took i caught at 6 lb largemouth on it! it was the standard size
From: Lando Lakes, FL
Comments: recommend this bait. love it getting all colors
From: Duke: CA
Comments: Purchased the Mikey SR. in the trout color and replaced the tail hook with a feathered hook and it raised the bite/hookup ratio a lot.
From: Trip: Simpsonville, SC
Comments: Got to jr in the trout color and i love the art work. really worth the money. going to get the chartreuse shad. the swim action is crazy.
From: Fresno, CA
Comments: Using this bait in the summer time is the best. Its simple to use and can be fish almost anywhere. I use the Jr size in sexy shad,aurora black, and tennessee shad on a 7'0 daiwa Flex-X-lite and once i'm on the fish which is not hard, its difficult for me to use anything else. I'm planning to buy chartreuse shad and HL aurora black in standard size from here soon!
From: Mark: MN
Comments: I kept hearing about this bait from one of my facebook friends. I bought both the Standard and Jr. size. They are absolutely dangerous when fishing over grass beds or timber. I called up some nice largemouth from using the standard size. The Jr. size looks awesome too, but I just have not been able to put the Standard down enough to try the Jr. seriously. This is one of those baits that is really good to have in your tackle box -- buy with confidence.
From: Thomas: Columbia, SC
Comments: Used the Mikey Jr. HL Sunfish color for about 3 hours and got 8 bass to bite it in that period of time, but only landed 4 of them, had a bit of a hard time getting the hook fully set for some reason. Great bait though, awesome swimming motion.
From: Kyle: Saint Johns, MI
Comments: WOW! Just got my Cali trout and my HL sunfish yesterday and all I can say is; HOLY S_IT , these things are awesome! I threw everything I had at em' today April 30th, Then I tied one of these on!! I had a limit in 3 hours, and bagged a really nice northern pike, will be buying more, thanks tackle warehouse for a good selection! You guys rock!
From: Mrbond007: East Lansing, MI
Comments: I have both the Mikey and the Mikey JR in chartreuse shad. Great action with a fast or slow retrieve. Perfect wakebait to throw around the docks, boulders and chuck rock here at Lake of the Ozarks.
Comments: Excellent swimbait. It ungulates nicely in the water. Great for use over submerged weed beds. The Jr. size has been particularly productive for me.
From: Rowland: Newport News, VA
