Oops! One of those Weeks for Beleaguered President

Teresa Wendt — Fri, 24 May 2013 19:45:22 +0000

There are days, weeks even, when just nothing goes right even for the president. After a difficult week filled with growing scandals that point to some level of administration and White House involvement the president found himself heckled by a Code Pink woman at his attention diverting speech yesterday.

Then today, as Obama boarded Marine One, he forgot to salute the Marine who was standing at attention at the foot of the steps. Upon realizing (or being informed) of his faux pas the president then darted back off the helicopter and awkwardly apologized to the Marine.

Oops.

Maybe he’d rather be out on the links.

O’Reilly Interview with Jon Hammar – Imprisoned 4 Months in Mexico

Teresa Wendt — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:17:44 +0000

Imagine being locked up in a Mexico prison for a mistake. The jailed Mexican drug cartel inmates threaten your life and your family. You are put into solitary confinement sometimes getting one meal a day; sometimes none. Now imagine you have recently been treated for PTSD following a challenging time in Afghanistan.

Could you stay strong?

This is the story of Jon Hammar who crossed the border into Mexico with his grandfather’s shotgun after filling out forms, paying a fee on the US side and being assured that he could legally take the gun into the country. After months working privately with the US State Department and getting nowhere the family turned to the public. Fortunately, their pleas were heard by Fox News giant Bill O’Reilly who, along with others on FNC, brought this story to light threatening tourism and loss of US dollars to the state of Matamoras. Finally, after four months solitary confinement, Hammar was released just before Christmas.

In an exclusive interview Bill O’Reilly talks to the former Marine giving us a first glimpse of his harrowing tale.

Get got caught in his lies!

Craig Pusley says he got the idea from another Marine, Staff Sgt. Jordan Pritchard, who stood guard at Gower Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee. Mr. Pusley decided to stand guard in front of Hughson Elementary School in Modesto, California, on Wednesday in a desert camouflage uniform, saying it would help the children feel safer following the Newtown, Connecticut shooting. The problem is…. he is not a Marine.
