A gun owner was sitting in his kitchen with his baby. His baby was apparently dirty, so he decided to clean it. Not too far from the gun owner was his other baby, his 9-month-old child.
The man began cleaning his baby, but he forgot to remove the bullet from his baby’s chamber. The baby went off accidentally shooting the man in the leg and shooting his 9 month old in the head.
Police are investigating the incident between 31-year old John Hambaugh III of Indiana, his dirty baby with the bullet in the chamber, and the accidental shooting of his 9 month old child.
Both Hambaugh and his 9 month old were taken to Community Howard Regional Hospital Kokomo. Hambaugh is in stable condition but his 9 month old is in critical condition.
This is good news for America, bad news for Republicans. They thought they would be able to use Ebola as a boogeyman, scaring Americans into voting for them this November. But with stories like this, Republicans will just have to go back to their other scare tactics, like, OMG, there us a black man in the White House!
Doctors no longer detect Ebola in a Texas nurse who flew to Ohio and back before she was diagnosed with the virus, her family said Wednesday.
Officials at Emory University Hospital and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention couldn’t detect Ebola in Amber Vinson as of Tuesday evening, her family said in a statement released through a media consultant. Doctors usually do two tests a day apart before saying they can’t detect the virus. It’s unclear how many tests Vinson has had.
Vinson’s mother, Debra Berry, spoke to her Wednesday, and Vinson has been approved for transfer from isolation, the statement said.
“We all know that further treatment will be necessary as Amber continues to regain strength, but these latest developments have truly answered prayers and bring our family one step closer to reuniting with her at home,” Berry said.
Vinson, 29, remains in treatment at Emory, near Atlanta. Emory wouldn’t release any information about the patient, hospital spokeswoman Holly Korschun said.
Ron Kaufman writes: “I am a Republican, and I will not be voting for Gov. Scott Walker this November. He does not deserve my vote or another four years in office.
“I voted for Walker four years ago with high hopes, but he has turned out to be one of the worst governors Wisconsin has ever had.
“Walker has no respect for the hard-working people of Wisconsin. He believes people can live off of minimum wage, which has not been increased for years.
“Walker has no respect for women. He thinks they are incapable of making their own health decisions. If the Republican Party tried to tell men what to do with their own bodies, there would be a revolution in this country.
“Walker has waisted millions of dollars on voucher schools, some of which closed, while failing to properly support our public schools.”
The Hill obtained an email sent out earlier this month by Mitch McConnell’s campaign, begging supporters to join them on an all expense paid trip to different events around Kentucky. The supporters are asked to contribute to the “enthusiastic atmosphere” at McConnell’s campaign events.
“Senator McConnell is seeking volunteers to join him on a 3-day campaign bus tour around the state on October 20-22 to show our support for Kentucky coal. You would join local supporters in contributing to an enthusiastic atmosphere at each of his events,” she wrote.
Bussing in supporters isn’t a new tactic for McConnell, who has done it to fill out crowds during his previous appearances at the annual Fancy Farm picnic. Democrats have derided the move, however, as a sign of low enthusiasm for the Republican.
They again charged McConnell’s move to bus in supporters suggested momentum is headed in Grimes’ favor.
“It should surprise no one that Mitch McConnell is left to purchase grassroots support after he and his allies have spent more than $50 million running from his failed 30-year record in Washington. Momentum is clearly on Alison’s side as she draws record-breaking crowds of Kentuckians and runs laps around McConnell’s rusted DC-based campaign,” said Kentucky Democratic Party Chairman Dan Logsdon.
A former aide to Alaska’s quitter Sarah Palin, is finally admitting what the rest of the country already knows, that the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee were way in over her head.
During an interview on The Wendy Williams show, Nicolle Wallace, Palin’s former aide who now co-hosts ABC’s “The View,” said that even Sarah Palin “realized that she was in over her head,”
“Just watching her sort of shrink under the enormity and the scrutiny and the hot bright light of our national political process.”
“We should be happy when anyone wants to go into politics,” the former GOP strategist continued. “We are really hard on our politicians and we should be happy when people want to jump in and do that.”
Williams asked whether Palin was a “crier.”
“No, I’ve seen George Bush more, cry more often than I’ve ever seen – no, no, she wasn’t a crier,” Wallace said.
Williams then delved into Wallace’s strained relationship with Palin.
“I think she was really disappointed with the way she was being handled by the entire staff and I think I was a fair scapegoat,” Wallace said. “I was one of a very small circle of people helping her. And the decisions in hindsight weren’t good ones for her. I mean she didn’t look good. So it was fair to be mad at a staff person, that’s your job.”
“But there’s nothing you can do as a staffer when you sort of lose the confidence of the principal and that’s what happened through the course of the Couric interviews,” Wallace continued.
For some of us this is about winning an argument and nothing more. Some would say he was a human being who lived in a country that believes in the freedom to walk down the street without getting six bullets pumped into his body by a police officer.
Others would say he was a thug, and they will quickly point at a video showing him allegedly robbing a convenience store. And although the video had nothing to do with him being killed, these people would say that the video somehow proves that he was a thug, a strain on society, a young man who chose not to listen to the orders of a police officer and therefore, deserved the officer killing him… in the free country.
One of these groups will win their argument and he will either be remembered as a human being, a teenager with a mother and father still weeping his loss. A boy who had birthdays, dreams and heartbreaks. For these people, Mike Brown will be remembered as a human being. He will be remembered as a a teenager with a soul who made mistakes like any other teenager, but like any other teenager, he too deserved to live.
Or, Mike Brown will be looked upon as the ruthless thug who disobeyed the orders of a cop. A thug whose crime began when he literally walked in the streets of this “free” nation. Or maybe, just maybe his crime actually began when he was born and society saw the color of his skin. And maybe because of that color they disregarded his humanity, his birthdays, his dreams and his heartbreaks. And because he wasn’t a human in their eyes they associated his teenage mistakes with thuggery. And they thanked the officer for cleansing the streets of Ferguson. These thug creatures must die.
In the end, one of these groups will have justice, whatever justice means these days. And that justice will either lead to real changes between the police and the communities they’re supposed to protect, or that justice will lead to more Mike Browns and a society stuck in the quicksand of intolerance, a society drowning in its own racism.
What now Republicans? What great idea do you have now to fight ISIS. “Arm the rebels” you screamed every day on my television and although the president told you that was not a good idea, you screamed louder. Well the President listened, and now it has been confirmed that ISIS has our weapons!
What now Republicans? We are giving them weapons to fight us! Not Smart! Unless… wait a second… was this your plan all along?
The Pentagon confirmed Wednesday that Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighters took possession of a stray bundle of U.S.-airdropped weapons and other supplies in the Syrian border town of Kobani earlier this week.
The U.S. had dropped 28 bundles filled with grenades, mortar rounds and other supplies intended for Kurdish fighters in Kobani battling ISIS, but at least one had gone astray and was immediately destroyed.
However, Pentagon officials confirmed a second one had gone off course and ended up in enemy hands. A YouTube video uploaded on Tuesday appeared to show an ISIS militant going through an array of boxes, at least two of which contained grenades.
“We have determined a second bundle also went astray,” Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren acknowledged on Wednesday.”There’s always going to be some margin of error” when airdropping supplies, Warren added. “Wind can cause a parachute to move off its intended target.”
According to reporting by Buzzfeed, Secret Service identified the suspect as 23-year-old Dominic Adesanya of Bel Air, Maryland. Adesanya was taken into custody by agents after being stopped by guard dogs on the White House lawn around 7:16 p.m. ET. Video from the scene showed a man kicking and punching a dog.
Adesanya was transported to a hospital with injuries after he was taken into custody.
The cause of the incident was not immediately known, and comes in the wake of an incident last month where 42-year-old Omar Gonzalez scaled the fence and made it inside the White House before being apprehended. The security breach ultimately resulted in the resignation of Secret Service Director Julia Pearson.
This story is still unfolding, but according to NBC, another person was captured jumping the fence at the White House just moments ago. At this point, the White House is on lockdown according to NBC reporter Kristen Walker.
Walker said that in an NBC video, the person can be seen jumping the fence with Secret Service officials “screaming at him, telling him to get back.” The person was apparently apprehended by The Secret Service.
There is a report out now trying to put a spin on the official autopsy report. That report states that the official autopsy report of Michael Brown supports officer Darren Wilson version of what happened when he killed the unarmed teenager in Ferguson Missouri.
The supporting evidence, according to this report, was the blood on and around the door of the officer’s patrol car, and gunshot residue around Michael Brown’s thumb area. This, the report said, supports Darren Wilson’s version that Mike Brown attacked him in his patrol car, tried to reach for the officer’s gun, and punched and scratched officer Wilson in the face.
According to a St. Louis medical examiner Dr. Michael Graham, who looked at the forensic documents obtained by the Post-Dispatch, the evidence “does support that there was a significant altercation at the car.”
Graham suggests that their was a bullet that moved from Brown’s right thumb to his waist, leaving gunshot residue on Mike Brown’s thumb and that residue, Graham says, is “consist with products discharged from the barrel of a firearm.”
And Dr. Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist interviewed by The Post-Dispatch said the findings “support the fact that this guy is reaching for the gun, if he has gunpowder particulate material in the wound.”
She went on, “If he has his hand near the gun when it goes off, he’s going for the officer’s gun.”
What is this report telling us? It’s not telling us anything new, except the fact that these two professionals are looking for reasons to believe Darren Wilson.
Before these two professionals expressed their opinion, their interpretation of Brown’s autopsy report, we already knew there was a struggle at the policeman’s car. We already knew that a bullet was fired at the policeman car and that Brown was hit with that bullet. This information was already corroborated by eyewitnesses to the shooting. One eyewitness, Dorian Johnson, was just feet away and watched the whole thing unfold.
No one is disputing that there was a struggle at the car. But why do we automatically ignore the eyewitness accounts and take the word of an officer who murdered an unarmed teenager, an officer who is looking for any excuse he can find to clear his name and has had almost 2 months to come up with a story? These two professionals looked at an autopsy report and concluded that Mike Brown tried to take the office’s gun, which resulted in his own death.
Another obvious explanation for the residue on Mike Brown’s thumb would be – Officer Wilson obviously felt threatened by the struggle – a struggle which is disputed by no one. He reached for his gun which is his first line of defense, and shot at Mike Brown. Mike Brown, realizing that he was about to be shot raised his hand in his defense to avoid what was about to happen. It is likely that he then reached for the gun trying to stop the bullet, resulting in the wound and the gunshot residue on his thumb.
Former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch told KMOX that he could understand why Darren Wilson shot Mike Brown at the car.
“If there was a struggle inside that car over a firearm, it sounds to me like Officer Wilson would have been justified in taking the action he did if he pulled the trigger and actually shot Michael Brown in the vehicle area,” Fitch said. Fitch also said that “half the officers killed every year with firearms are killed with their own,” which again could explain the first shot.
No one is explaining the 6 or so shots fired at Mike Brown as he ran away from Darren Wilson. Clearly Wilson kept control of his gun and did not lose it in the struggle. And clearly, after the supposed threat to his life was not only removed, but running away, the officer made the fateful decision to get out of his car, followed Mike Brown and almost emptied his clip at the fleeing teen, killing him in the middle of the street.
No, the professionals are not explaining the most important decision by Wilson, the decision to kill. They’re choosing instead to ignore the most obvious explanation to support a killer who will say or do anything, even lie, to clear his name.
An Associated Press report on Monday has Ohio Governor John Kasich in the bowl of hot water with his conservative constituents.
In the report, the governor said that Obamacare repeal is not going to happen because, well, it’s a darn good law! But when conservatives in Ohio heard their governor speak favorably of Obamacare, they were up in arms, the posse to overthrow the governor with their knives and pitchforks almost formed.
So to clear his name and expressed his hate of Obamacare, the governor called POLITICO Monday night to clarify what he meant. He was talking specifically about repeal of the expansion of Medicaid — which Ohio has implemented — and not of the Affordable Care Act more broadly.
“From Day 1, and up until today and into tomorrow, I do not support Obamacare,” the Republican governor said on Monday evening. “I never have, and I believe it should be repealed.”
Except for the Medicaid expansion part — which wouldn’t exist without the law. Kasich, however, thinks there ought to be a way to save it.
“I have favored expanding Medicaid, but I don’t really see expanding Medicaid as really connected to Obamacare,” Kasich said.
If Republicans take the Senate, Kasich said, “you better believe they’re gonna repeal Obamacare and I agree with that.” But, he added, “There’s got to be an accommodation” for Medicaid expansion.
