Seven members of SEAL Team Six have been punished for supporting development of a video game released last month, according to a U.S. military official. The SEALs worked as paid consultants for Electronic Arts, the company that made "Medal of Honor Warfighter." They received letters of reprimand and forfeited half of their pay for two months. The SEALs do not face jail time. The official did not say what, if any, information the SEALs revealed by participating in the video game's development. However, a written statement from Deputy Commander of Naval Special Warfare, Rear Admiral Garry Bonelli, indicates this is...

Rep. Ron Paul, whose maverick presidential bids shook the GOP, said in the wake of this week's elections that the country has already veered over the fiscal cliff and he sees no chance of righting ship in a country where too many people are dependent on government. "We're so far gone. We're over the cliff," the Texas Republican told Bloomberg Television's "In the Loop" program. "We cannot get enough people in Congress in the next 5-10 years who will do wise things."

With regard to the election tommorow I will say it again: All of us are held to certain level of accountability by our employers, clients, customers, etc to where if we screw up and do not perform as promised when we were hired, we are FIRED. Our jobs and services, while important of course, are far less important and consequential than who runs the nation and makes decisions literally of life and death. Why would anyone in any good conscience ever think to hold the POTUS of the USA to a lesser standard of accountability than we are every day...

Residents of Manhattan's 19-building, 1,191-apartment Jacob Riis projects, have been without power and water since late Monday evening, and there's been no sign of help from local government. In all, city officials estimate some 49,000 public housing residents have been stranded by the storm, left without the resources to escape or find alternative lodging. When Getty photographer Mario Tama ventured inside, he found residents huddled in living rooms lit by solitary candles and gas stoves running constantly for heat. Here are a few images from Tama's visit on Thursday: The Jacob Riis project is located on farmost edge of the...

So sick of all these politicians and their messiah complexes. Get the problem fixed or STFU and step down. And i have to laugh at the child like sheep and drones saying "Obama looked so presidential!" Really? Are some people so gullible, incompetent, and naive to still fall for these publicity stunts? He comes in for 1 hour - 1 hour - and then heads off to Vegas AGAIN for a fundraiser. Boy doesn't that jog my memory of September 12, 2012 as our embassy was in flames w the flag of Al Queada flying high and the ambassador and...

Boomers and Gen X adults have officially swapped places on the retirement worry spectrum.  While boomers' worries about retirement have waned over the last few years, a new study by the Pew Research Center found more than half of Gen X say are “not too” or “not at all” confident about retirement, compared to just a one-third of boomers. Just three years ago, Gen X workers were among the nation's most optimistic, with just 19 percent saying they weren't confident about retirement.  The reason is simple enough: Though most of the attention has been given to boomers whose nest eggs were pummeled by...

"I want your vote. I want your vote. I am not too proud to beg; I want you to vote. And the good news is, you can vote in Ohio, right now. Find out where at vote.barackobama.com. If you live nearby, you can vote just a few blocks away," President Obama said at a campaign event in Ohio this evening. Obama then gave the address for the location to vote early.

Now, the most important thing we can do is to make sure that we are creating jobs in this country, but not just jobs, good-paying jobs, ones that can support a family. And what I want to do is build on the 5 million jobs that we've created over the last 30 months in the private sector alone. And there are a bunch of things that we can do to make sure your future is bright. Number one, I want to build manufacturing jobs in this country again. You know, when Governor Romney said we should let Detroit go bankrupt,...

Obama: And when we talk about deficits, if we're adding to our deficit for tax cuts for folks who don't need them and we're cutting investments in research and science that will create the next Apple, create the next new innovation that will sell products around the world, we will lose that race. If we're not training engineers to make sure that they are equipped here in this country, then companies won't come here. Those investments are what's going to help to make sure that we continue to lead this world economy not just next year, but 10 years from...

As with everyone on this site - I am sure we were all screaming at the lies told by O-THUG last night. Anyway - don't know if Romneys' people read this site. But here is what i cobbled together in 2 minutes that romney could have said within the time limit. "Mr. President - spare me your lecture. Your record speaks for itself. You have failed to attend 3/4 of your intel briefings opting for golf and fundraising instead, your admn denied the Benghazi embassy the requested added security on at least 4 occasions, as the embassy was under attack...

Mitt Romney has surged to a 4-percentage-point lead in 12 crucial swing states, largely because he has erased President Obama's lead among women voters, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday. The battle for women has been a major focus of both campaigns, and is expected to figure prominently in their closing arguments in Tuesday night's debate and in TV ads during the last three weeks before election day. As a group, women tend to wait longer than men to choose their candidates, which makes them — especially blue-collar "waitress moms" hit hard by the economy's troubles — a...

President Barack Obama's presidential campaign slammed Gallup Monday over the results of a new Gallup/USA Today poll that shows Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney leading by five points among likely voters in swing states. In a memo released by the Obama campaign, pollster Joel Benenson calls the Gallup/USA Today survey an "extreme outlier" that reveals "underscores deep flaws in Gallup’s likely voter screen." Read the full memo below: Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-memo-slams-gallup-polls-2012-10#ixzz29PLKsPm5

I have made two PROUD & HAPPY donations so far this election cycle. 1. To Lt. Col. West. 2. Mia Love According to the the left i am a racist. Go figure

During a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, President Obama took his criticism of Mitt Romney's debate performance a step further, suggesting the GOP nominee's "tap dance" Wednesday night on his economic plan was better suited for "Dancing with the Stars" or "Extreme Makeover: Debate Edition."

When Mexican authorities took Juarez drug cartel carnage king Jose Antonio Acosta Hernandez — better known as “El Diego” — into custody, he had weapons from Operation Fast and Furious on his person, the English-language transcript of the Spanish-language television network Univision’s special investigation into the scandal shows. “According to investigations, ‘El Diego’ forms the link between this massacre and Fast and Furious,” an anchor read on air in Spanish Sunday evening, referring to two different mass killings drug cartel operatives used Fast and Furious weapons to conduct as Univision reported. “When he [El Diego] was captured in Chihuahua in...
