Strains, threats hurt military readiness WASHINGTON ? For the third consecutive year, a classified Pentagon assessment has concluded there's a significant risk that the U.S. military could not respond quickly and fully to any new crisis, The Associated Press has learned. The latest risk assessment, drawn up by Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, comes despite recent security gains in Iraq and plans for troop cuts there. The assessment finds that the U.S. continues to face persistent terrorist threats, and the military is still stretched and strained from long and repeated tours to the warfront. Senior military officials spoke about the report on…

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/05/23/massive-submerged-structure-stumps-israeli-archaeologists/ I always get excited if people can find more stuff that "proves" the Bible...not saying this will eventually, but I love it when they unearth things from back then. Hope they can figure out what this is. Any guesses?

Wow, Ron Paul won the straw poll today. I'm shocked. That really shows a tremendous hate for Obama for him to actually win a vote like that...the country is ready for a dramatic change. I'm really not a Ron Paul supporter...I mean, I'd vote for him I guess.... to me he's a bit extreme but that's why it shocks me he won the straw poll.

Strip clubs, marijuana eyed during budget crunch http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/07/28/states.budget.crunch/ Our greedy political will almost do any thing to get money to spend.

This is a petition to the British Govt so you probably cannot enter it but I put it here as a news item. The 38-year-old student and father of four, Felix Ngole, has recently been expelled from his course of study by the University of Sheffield because of a Facebook post he shared which expressed his disagreement with same-sex “marriage”. Felix made the comments last September on his facebook page in relation to Kim Davis, the marriage clerk from Kentucky who refused to issue a marriage licence to a same-sex couple. He defended her freedom of conscience and in the course of discussion expressed his view on the Bible’s teaching on sexual ethics. …

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,475306,00.html The most interesting thing I found, which to me is VERY important in this study, and they ignored, is this: "Her study also only looked at teens who were unmarried five years after taking virginity pledges, now ages 20 to 23. "The married are out of the picture, so they're not as interesting," she said." Here's the thing...the study showed that "religious teens" were having sex at an average age of 21 which is at least 3 years older than the "average" teen....which they approve of.... But the above statement shows that they disregarded probably an even greater number of Christians who waited until marriage!!!! …

Two of them tried but failed to set off explosions, and the third backed out of his assignment. What made him different? A new study suggests family ties may have played an important role."

Stung by Romney Birth Certificate Remark, Obama Camp Attacks Trump It seems Mr. Obama & his team could not resist jabbing the man running against him for saying these words. "Speaking in Michigan, the Republican presidential nominee said, “Now I love being home in this place where Ann and I were raised, where both of us were born. "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate," Romney added. "They know that this is the place that we were born and raised.” And they try to call them names as nasty as possible. "Gibbs had said Romney was “auctioning off dinners with the birther in chief, right-wing-nut-job Donald Trump" I figure it will even get nastier.

Suicides via falls or poisoning have risen significantly and experts fear there could be en more going unrecognised, specifically in cases of overdose. 'Suicides are terribly under-counted,' said Ian Rockett, author of the study, published on Thursday in the American Journal of Public Health. 'I think the problem is much worse than official …
