Flashlight assisted shooting?

@NRA_Rifleman: Read more about flashlight assisted handgun shooting. — ow.ly/8IQ1p

I never could figure this one out… You see all these hotrod police types on TV with their rail mounted lights on their pistols.  Just remember…  the bad guy can see where the light is coming FROM, thus making you an illuminated target.

I’ll take a laser sight anyday…

Activist protest arrival of US Navy ship

Stars and Stripes @starsandstripes Ukraine: Activist protest arrival of US Navy ship: tinyurl.com/74bpf6g

The ship will take part in anti-piracy and other drills with the Ukrainian navy. The military alliance remains unpopular among the majority of Ukrainians, especially in the pro-Russian east and south.  Try to help someone?  Go figure…

Where are they now?

Here’s a quick look into the three former Fannie Mae executives who brought down Wall Street.

1. Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. Raines left with a “golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits.

The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear.

2. Tim Howard was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard “was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a “stable pattern of earnings” at Fannie. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

3. Jim Johnson was a former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when in fact it was $21 million.” Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? 

FRANKLIN RAINES: Raines works for the Obama Campaign as his Chief Economic Advisor.

TIM HOWARD: Howard is a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama under Franklin Raines.

JIM JOHNSON: Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee.

Kind of makes you sick to your stomach. Our government seems to be rotten to the core!

Vote in 2012 it is the most important election of our lives…

Jordan votes 71% against the United States
And receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Receives $6,721,000,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States
Receives $143,699,000 annually.

WHY? WHO IN THE HECK STARTED THIS AND WHY?
THEY ACTUALLY BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS THEM.

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes.

Pass this post along to every taxpaying citizen you know, party lines irrelevant!

Time to stop feeding Facebook

ReadWriteWeb @RWW: Op-Ed: Stop Feeding Facebook, It’s Time for Moderation rww.to/t0a1dw

“…Facebook …would happily engulf all of our online discourse, and then some. Facebook allows for more lengthy discourse, and the ability to “like” (but not dislike) a sender’s message. Comments, however, are mandatory. It’s always somewhat unclear who will receive your message, given Facebook’s ever-shifting privacy policies and controls.”
