Elation turns to anger as stores run out of Apple?s iPhone 5S model: Handsets being sold on eBay for THREE TIMES their retail value and on black market outside shops Daily Mail [UK], by?Suzannah Hills, Victoria Woollaston Original Article Posted By:Attercliffe, 9/20/2013 11:52:49 AM Apple fans desperate to get their hands on the new iPhone that went on sale this morning were left disappointed and angered after iPhone 5S handsets sold out in certain locations before stores even officially opened. The phones are now in such demand that some have appeared on eBay for three times their retail value, while others are being blatantly re-sold on the black market outside shops with mark ups of around ?100.

Israel, eying Iran, comes off Syria fence Asia Times [Hong Kong, PRC], by Victor Kotsev??? Original Article Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/20/2013 11:43:49 AM ??? Post Reply That Israel has chosen to publicly come out against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad just when he and his Russian and Iranian allies seemed to have scored a major victory suggests that there is a lot more to the drama than meets the eye. Whether a new grand initiative, perhaps on Iran, is in the making, or the Syrian crisis is nearing another major unexpected twist, is hard to tell, but the recent interview of the Israeli Ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, in the Jerusalem Post brought up both of these possibilities.

You?d never hear Cameron, or Clegg or Miliband getting as near-the-knuckle as this, would you? London is already experiencing a Romanian crime wave. There have been an astounding 27,500 arrests in the Metropolitan Police area in the last five years. 92 percent of ATM crime is committed by Romanians. This gets to the heart of the immigration policy that UKIP wants, we should not welcome foreign criminal gangs and we must deport those Heart disease drug statins ?raise the risk of developing cataracts by 27%? Daily Mail [UK], by Jenny Hope??? Original Article Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/20/2013 9:44:07 AM ??? Post Reply Millions of people who take statins to fight heart disease could be 27 percent more likely to develop cataracts, researchers warn. Older people are particularly susceptible because they make up the majority of statin users and patients with cataracts, which cloud the eye and require surgery to prevent blindness. [Snip] The scientists found the increased risk of 27 percent for statin users held up even after they accounted for other factors that could explain the result, such as high blood pressure. They said cholesterol was necessary to maintain healthy cells in the eye and the transparency of the lens. Shootings up 13% in New York City after federal judge rules police ?stop and frisk? tactics unconstitutional and racist Daily Mail [UK], by Damien Gayle??? Original Article Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/20/2013 8:54:57 AM ??? Post Reply The recent ruling to reform the New York Police Department?s controversial ?stop-and-frisk? tactic has already led to a sharp rise in shootings, new figures reveal. In the month after the policy was ruled unconstitutional shootings spiked nearly 13 per cent while gun seizures fell almost a fifth, the figures show. In the 28 days up to September 8 there were 140 shootings across the city, compared with 124 over the same period last year, according to NYPD statistics. The shocking rise in gun crime has emerged days after the federal judge who ordered an overhaul of the stop-and-frisk strategy refused Subpoenas will hit State Department over Benghazi as House Oversight committee gets serious: Will Hillary Clinton be on the list?

Post Reply A top Republican congressional investigator is ?in the process of issuing subpoenas? to State Department personnel who can explain the events before, during and after the September 11, 2012 terror attack that destroyed the U.S. diplomatic station in Benghazi, Libya. The State Department has not made those people available,? House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa said during a hearing Thursday. He said Secretary John Kerry?s cabinet-level agency ?has played hide-and-go-seek, and is now hiding behind a thinly-veiled statement that there is a criminal investigation? into the terror attack.?

House votes to cut nearly $4B from yearly food stamps funding and implementing new work requirements for recipients Daily Mail [UK], by Staff??? Original Article Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/20/2013 8:23:09 AM ??? Post Reply The House of Representatives voted to cut nearly $4billion from food stamp funding even after a Democrat used some congressional dinner expenses as ways to try to shame them into supporting the funding. The 217-210 vote on Thursday was a win for conservatives and it was approved even though Democrats were united in opposition. The bill?s savings would be achieved by allowing states to put broad new work requirements in place for many food stamp recipients and to test applicants for drugs. The bill also would end government waivers that have allowed able-bodied adults without dependents to receive food stamps World?s top climate scientists told to ?cover up? the fact that the Earth?s temperature hasn?t risen for the last 15 years Daily Mail [UK], by Tamara Cohen??? Original Article Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/19/2013 9:58:18 PM ??? Post Reply Scientists working on the most authoritative study on climate change were urged to cover up the fact that the world?s temperature hasn?t risen for the last 15 years, it is claimed. A leaked copy of a United Nations report, compiled by hundreds of scientists, shows politicians in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and the United States raised concerns about the final draft. Published next week, it is expected to address the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record and world temperatures have not yet exceeded it, which scientists have so far struggled to explain. The report is the result of Navy Yard shooting: Swat team awaits answers BBC News [UK], by Debbie Siegelbaum??? Original Article Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/19/2013 9:46:21 PM ??? Post Reply Members of a Washington DC Swat team who the BBC has learned were ordered not to respond to Monday?s Navy Yard shootings have yet to be contacted by the authorities. The Capitol Police tactical response team was told by a supervisor to leave the scene instead of aiding municipal officers, sources told the BBC. Meanwhile, the department has installed a new leader of the elite unit. No reason has been given for the decision. [Snip] The BBC has also learned that four members of the highly trained team have applied for temporary leave, as they "grapple" with the aftermath of Iran?s charm offensive on nuclear arms is a pointed test of Barack Obama?s resolve Telegraph [UK], by Con Coughlin??? Original Article Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/19/2013 3:35:09 PM ??? Post Reply As charm offensives go, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani?s carefully orchestrated effort to convince sceptical Western leaders that his country has no intention of posing a threat to world peace is proving to be a roaring success. Having become a regular pen pal of President Obama, Mr Rouhani?s declaration on American television this week that Iran would ?never? develop nuclear weapons has raised expectations that three decades of hostility between Washington and Tehran could be drawing to an close. As if to reinforce the message that a new spirit of reconciliation has taken root in Iran, Mr Rouhani ordered the release Australia shows us all the way by sacking its useless, pointless Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery Telegraph [UK], by James Delingpole???

Now Syria?s rebels are fighting each other Telegraph [UK], by Con Coughlin??? Original Article Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/19/2013 12:14:49 PM ??? Post Reply I would strongly recommend that William Hague--and any other member of the Government who still believes it is a good idea to arm the Syrian rebels--takes a close look at today?s article in the Wall Street Journal. It reports that Islamist militants linked to al-Qaeda have now launched a campaign dubbed "expunging filth" which is aimed destroying the Syrian Free Army (SFA), its main rival in the rebel movement. Mr Hague and Laurent Fabius, his French counterpart, argue that it is essential to continue arming the rebels to increase the pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to end the civil Most Active Articles (last 48 hours) John McCain writes blistering opinion piece in response to Vladimir Putin Agence France Presse, by Staff??? Original Article Posted By: JoniTx- 9/19/2013 6:06:37 AM ??? Post Reply The 2008 Republican presidential nominee, criticised Mr Putin and his associates for rigging elections, imprisoning and murdering opponents, fostering corruption and "destroying" Russia?s reputation on the world stage. "I am not anti-Russian," Mr McCain wrote in the piece, which his office said was sent to both the Communist Party?s Pravda newspaper as well as to online media outlet Pravda.ru. The latter was expected to publish it today, his staff said. "I am pro-Russian, more pro-Russian than the regime that misrules you today." Mr McCain last week made no secret of his intention to write an op-ed piece for Russian media The GOP?s Self-Defeating ?Defunding? Strategy Wall Street Journal, by Karl Rove??? Original Article Posted By: MissMolly- 9/19/2013 7:57:28 AM ??? Post Reply In 2010, Republicans took the House of Representatives by gaining 63 seats. They also picked up six U.S. senators and 675 state legislators, giving them control of more legislative chambers than any time since 1928. The GOP also won 25 of 40 gubernatorial races in 2009 and 2010. These epic gains happened primarily because independents voted Republican. In 2010, 56% of independents voted for GOP congressional candidates, up from 43% in 2008 and 39% in 2006. Today, independents look more like Republicans than Democrats, especially when it comes to health care.

Post Reply Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, testified Thursday at the House Oversight Committee that President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, among other top administration officials, initially told her the attack was the result of a YouTube video. That explanation, which was then disseminated by Susan Rice during her infamous appearances on Sunday talk shows the following weekend, was quickly proven to be false. A visibly upset Smith said she was told lies at the casket ceremony for her son and that she and other American people ?don?t matter? in the eyes of the

Obama: Americans Wrong About Obamacare; "It?s Going To Be A Good Deal" Real Clear Politics, by Staff??? Original Article Posted By: Desert Fox- 9/18/2013 5:34:07 PM ??? Post Reply JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO: The Affordable Care Act takes effect next month, The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows Americans oppose it, believing it will produce damaging results. Fifty-two percent believe the law will raise their health care costs. Is everybody wrong? PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Yes, they are.### OBAMA: The problem we have is that over the last four years billions of dollars have been spent misinforming people about what this law is about. All of the horror stories that were talked about have not come true.

Original Article Posted By: JoniTx- 9/19/2013 5:38:39 PM ??? Post Reply Fox News anchor Bret Baier is to take a short break from TV as his six-year-old son undergoes heart surgery. It is the third time Baier?s son Paul has had major surgery after being born with five congenital heart defects. While Paul recovers from the latest surgery, which was expected to take more than five hours on Thursday, Baier has taken time off work to be by his bedside. Baier updated viewers about his son?s impending surgery via his blog and Twitter, where he praised his son?s spirit, saying: ?You?d never know he?s been through what he?s been through.? The Clintons Employ Muslim Brotherhood Officials? You Can?t Be Serious ? PJ Media, by Andrew C. McCarthy??? Original Article Posted By: StormCnter- 9/19/2013 4:59:59 AM ??? Post Reply I don?t know who is more shocked about this, me or Huma Abedin, but it turns out that a former top Clinton Foundation official is also ? a senior Muslim Brotherhood official who has just been arrested for ? you?ll never guess ? inciting violence in Egypt. Not to worry, I?m sure it was only moderate violence. The Washington Free Beacon?s Adam Kredo reports on Gehad [as in Jihad] el-Haddad: A senior Muslim Brotherhood official who, until recently, had been employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation was arrested in Cairo on Tuesday and charged with inciting violence. Gehad el-Haddad served as one Ted Cruz Walks Away from the Fight He Picked, Chuckling Atlantic, by Philip Bump??? Original Article Posted By: MissMolly- 9/19/2013 12:49:36 PM ??? Post Reply It?s hard not to admire how Senator Ted Cruz spent his summer. Months of touring the country and TV appearances telling conservatives that he wanted an (unwinnable) fight with the White House on Obamacare, getting the fight, and now sitting ringside cheering half-heartedly as the House throws punches. Cruz, a freshman from Texas, wasn?t the first guy to suggest that the party use a budget fight as leverage to rollback the Affordable Care Act, the president?s signature legislation. That idea dates back to 2011, as Chris Hayes noted on All In Wednesday night. In his segment, Hayes probably gave Cruz more The real Navy Yard scandal Washington Post, by Charles Krauthammer???

It?s always the weapon and never the shooter. Twelve people are murdered in a rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, and before sundown Sen. Dianne Feinstein has called for yet another debate on gun violence. Major opprobrium is heaped on the AR-15, the semiautomatic used in the Newtown massacre. Turns out no AR-15 was used at the Navy Yard. And the shotgun that was used was obtained legally in Virginia after the buyer, Aaron

Assad calm, comfortable and clearly delusional in Fox News interview Fox News, by Richard Grenell??? Original Article Posted By: StormCnter- 9/19/2013 6:05:14 AM ??? Post Reply In one of the most fascinating foreign policy interviews of all time, Fox News aired an unedited, lengthy and exclusive interview with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Wednesday. The in-depth interview focused on diplomacy, chemical weapons, the death toll from the two-year-old war, the rebels? goals, future governing and the region?s stability. Assad appeared calm, comfortable and yet delusional, talking in almost perfect English, as he consistently labeled the rebels as ?terrorists,? claiming that 80 - 90% of the opposition fighting against his military was comprised of Al Qaeda supporters and other jihadists. In talking about the origins of the conflict, Assad failed to Pope Francis in America magazine, unfiltered Washington Post, by Mary Ann Walsh??? Original Article Posted By: mitzi- 9/19/2013 3:59:40 PM ??? Post Reply An extraordinary moment in journalism. That?s the only way to describe the September 30 issue of America Magazine, completely given over to an interview with Pope Francis. It can be accessed online here. How the Jesuits sat on this interview, done over three days in August, is amazing in the nothing?s-a-secret-world of Wikileaks. As I read the interview, I kept saying, ?Wow! This is incredible.? I wanted to call someone to tell them what I was reading. I saw an ad for the National Religious Retirement Collection in the pages and thought, ?Lucky them. Here?s an issue to advertise in!?

Post Reply During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was also killed. The far side of the room, shown empty in the photo, belongs to the Democrats. The only Democrats who stayed were Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and Rep. Jackie
