Politifact rated President Barack Obama’s statement in Monday’s debate that the sequester “is something that Congress has proposed” as mostly false.
Politifact’s reporting comes partially from Bob Woodward’s book The Pride of Politics. In it, Woodward shows the sequester was initially an Obama White House idea. The apparent intent was to get Republicans to negotiate cuts, something that did not happen.
According to media mogul Ted Turner, it's "good" that U.S. soldiers are killing themselves rather than dying in combat, Human Events reported Thursday.
Turner made the announcement while speaking with CNN's Piers Morgan, Hope Hodge wrote.
"It’s time to put war and conflict behind us and move on, and start acting like civilized, educated human beings," Turner said.
"You made the point to me in the break there, more American servicemen have..." Morgan began, when Turner said, "are dying now from suicide over there than are dying in combat."
On Wednesday, Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (D-TX) drew a blank when asked about the Second Amendment during a debate with his Republican challenger in McAllen, Texas, The Monitor reported.
“There are so many people in Washington who come and talk to us about the Constitution and the rights that they want kept sacred and that not do anything about them. (sic) That we not change them. That we not amend them,” he said. “And I can tell you that — I’m drawing a blank on the Second Amendment, but I think it’s the weapons, isn’t it? The NRA?”
HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah (CBS St. Louis) — Boeing successfully tests a new missile that can take out electronic targets with little collateral damage. Continued...
On October 26, 1963,the first submerged launching of the Navy’s 2500 nautical mile A-3 Polaris Missile was successfully made by the gold crew of the USS Andrew Jackson (SSBN-619), commanded by Commander James B. Wilson, USN, from a point some 30 miles off Cape Canaveral, Florida. A practice warhead was hurled over 2,000 NM down the Atlantic Missile Range to land on target. The A-3 Missile added 1,000 NM miles to the reach of the Polaris nuclear retaliatory missile system.
Duling, a Marine, first met Bolt when he arrived in Afghanistan last October. Bolt and his sister, Xena, used to hang around the base. While all the soldiers favored Xena, Bolt was more skittish and standoffish.
"I was stationed with the German army. The German guys were taking care of Xena. They had built her a little house, feeding her two to three times a day. Bolt was kind of left outside. No one really gave him food. He was very malnourished, very skinny but still a very happy dog," Duling told ABC News.
So Duling and a friend began to bring Bolt, a Labrador-Shepherd mix, into the fold. Bolt soon became Duling's loyal companion.
"When I'd go out on runs, he'd be right there next to me. Every morning, he'd walk to the office with me. I think once he established that trust, he was almost inseparable,” Duling elaborated to WJLA.
That bond was tested when the base commander ordered all dogs be removed and dropped off in a village 12.4 miles away, a situation Duling described in a blog as "pretty rough... especially after seeing how confused he was when they came to take him."
The next day, miraculously, when Duling woke up at 2:30 a.m. for work, "there [Bolt] was, tail wagging and happier than ever..."

As we’ve explored here before, much of the entertainment industry is decidedly liberal in politics. Aside from some country musicians, the guys behind that An American Carol movie, and a scant few celebrities, there’s not much conservatism to go around. This is especially true of the music industry.
It is quite common for conservatives to get upset about a song (or movie) that supposedly undermines family values, espouses anti-American ideas, or mocks some right-wing sacred cow.
But sometimes hit songs can annoy liberals too. Typically those songs come from country musicians and Christian songwriters, but occasionally more liberal artists manage to write songs that annoy their left-wing friends.
Check out our top ten list of songs guaranteed to annoy liberals below. Continued...
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, the math stuff I was fine with up until 7th grade. But Malia is now a freshman in High School and I’m pretty lost. It’s tough. Fortunately, they are great students on their own. And if something doesn’t work I’ll call over to the Department of Energy to see if they have a physicist to come over!

Rising enthusiasm for Mitt Romney’s surging presidential candidacy has driven Americans to the donation box: Romney’s campaign raised a whopping $112 million in 17 days of October, according to the Republican National Committee. Much of that giving was obviously driven by Romney’s stellar performance in the first debate.
Romney needed a good showing after incumbent President Barack Obama defeated him in fundraising for September, $181 million to $170 million. The Romney campaign has approximately $169 million to spend over the final two weeks of this campaign. Approximately $38 million of the money raised in October came in donations of $250 or under, suggesting burgeoning grassroots appeal for Romney.

Scathing remarks from a former CIA commander regarding the Benghazi Massacre appears to confirm the repeated LIE told to the American public by the Obama administration regarding what really happened the night four Americans were killed during a terrorist attack in Libya.
The United States had an unmanned Predator drone over its consulate in Benghazi during the attack that slaughtered four Americans — which should have led to a quicker military response, it was revealed yesterday.
“They stood, and they watched, and our people died,” former CIA commander Gary Berntsen told CBS News.
