Фергюсон. Надолго…

Присяжные, все-таки, решили предъявить обвинения офицеру полиции, который застрелил “подростка” в Фергюсоне.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A grand jury has reached a decision about whether to indict a Ferguson police officer in the shooting death of Michael Brown, a spokesman for St. Louis County's top prosecutor said Monday.

The panel has been considering charges against Darren Wilson, the white suburban St. Louis officer who fatally shot the black 18-year-old after a confrontation in August.

In a brief email to reporters, spokesman Ed Magee said the decision would be announced later Monday. He offered no immediate details.

The prosecutor's office has told Brown's relatives that the decision will be made public after 5 p.m., family attorney Benjamin Crump told The Associated Press.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was traveling to St. Louis from the Capitol on Monday afternoon, spokesman Scott Holste told the AP, but did not say why.

Speculation about the timing of an announcement swirled and largely peaceful protests took place during the weekend after the grand jury met Friday but apparently did not reach a decision.

Reggie Cunningham was among Sunday night's protesters. He said he doubted Wilson would be indicted and felt like authorities were delaying an announcement "to spin this in the most positive way possible."

"The more that they drag this out, the angrier people are going to be," said Cunningham, 30, of St. Louis. The shooting triggered riots and looting during the summer, and police responded with armored vehicles and tear gas.

Many had thought a grand jury decision would be announced Sunday, based partly on a stepped-up police presence in the preceding days.

St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch's office had said he expected a decision by mid-to-late November, but it was not ultimately not in his control. The 12-person grand jury deliberates in secret and sets its own schedule depending upon when the members are available.

Crump said Sunday the family was frustrated that the prosecutor did not charge Wilson himself or suggest a charge to grand jurors.

As it is, "you don't have any direction, you're just putting all the evidence out there and you're going to let them figure it out and they can make up their own minds," Crump said. "You know, it just boggles the mind why he thinks this is fair."

It's not uncommon for deliberations to take a while in complex cases when self-defense is alleged or when there are two widely conflicting versions, according to Cole County Prosecutor Mark Richardson, who is not involved in the Ferguson case.

During Sunday's church services, some pastors encouraged their flocks not to fret. The Rev. Freddy Clark of Shalom Church in Florissant told the mostly black interdenominational congregation that "justice will be served" no matter the decision goes, because God will take care of it.

Meanwhile, daily protests continued.

Отмюда.

В то же время, полицейские в других штатах, проводят своеобразную акцию протеста. Три офицера полиции Портланда разместили на Фейсбуке фотографии своих удостоверений полиции со словами, “Я — Даррен Вильсон”. Сегодня им было предписано все это с Фейсбука убрать.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Three Portland police officers who posted a picture of a PPB badge with a banner that said, "I am Darren Wilson" were ordered to remove them from their personal Facebook page by Chief Mike Reese.

Darren Wilson is the Ferguson, Missouri police officer who fatally shot unarmed teen Michael Brown in August. A grand jury reportedly has reached a decision whether to charge Wilson in the incident. That decision has not yet been announced.

In a statement, Reese said, "I was alerted to these images this morning and immediately ordered their removal through the officers' chain of command. The image displayed does not represent this organization and was very inflammatory in nature."

Reese also said officers have the right to express their own personal opinion, "but not using an official badge of the Portland Police Bureau."

Mayor Charlie Hales also issued a statement.

"Chief Reese did the right thing by immediately ordering the officers to remove these symbols, and by ordering Professional Standards Division to review this matter for possible policy violations," Hales said in the statement.

The mayor added, "Recently, police participated in specific dialog related to possible reactions to the upcoming release of a verdict from the grand jury in Ferguson, Mo.

"The actions taken by these three officers here in Portland do not help get us to that goal."

KOIN 6 News will continue to follow this story.

Пересчитывать будем?!

На, так называемых, промежуточных выборах, в бюллетени для голосования были внесены, также, вопросы, которые выносились на референдум.

О легализации марихуаны я уже писал.

Однако, в бюллетенях, был также и референдум о том, стоит ли на продаваемых продуктах питания, на этикетках давать информацию о том, является ли этот продукт, или какие-либо составные части продукта, генно-модифицированным, или не давать такой информации?

После подсчета оказалось, что победили те, кто убежден, что обязывать производителя информировать потребителя о генно-модифицированности продукта лучше не нужно.

Но, голосующих “за” и “против” было почти одинаковое количество. 48.98% и 51.02%.

Сейчас все идет к тому, что голоса будут пересчитывать… 13 000 бюллетеней оказались “проблемными” из-за подписей.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — It's been a rollercoaster ride for the "Yes on 92″ campaign. Staff and volunteers packed up, then upacked again as the vote gap narrowed in the weeks since the elction.

"I feel great right now to have come to this point, to be so close after a really long and hard-fought contest," said Yes on 92 campaign director Paige Richardso

Part of the reason the vote narrowed is the 13,000 ballots that had signature issues. The state contacted those voters to confirm their signature before their vote could be counted.

That list of voter names was made public – the first time that ever happened.

"We then looked for our supporters on that list and encouraged them to correct their error," Richardson said.

Political analyst Jim Moore said Multnomah County "had a bunch of ballots it hadn't been able to process election night," and when they did, the vote narrowed.

New results showed the ballot measure's margin of defeat at .1% – a margin that would trigger an automatic recount.

A total of 1079 ballots separates the Yes from the No, as of 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 21, 2014. But the final results won't be known until Monday, when counties are required to submit their final election tallies to the state for certification.

If a recount happens, it would happen in the first week of December.

Moore doesn't think the Yes on 92 campaign has a real shot of winning

"I don't think it does," he said in the early afternoon Friday. "At this point there are 1500 votes between the two sides, and when you look at the number of votes that are out, the counties they come from and the amounts the measure won or lost in those counties, it's hard to see how there would be (a) 1500 votes (swing) out of just 7,000 left."

Recounts, he said, typically don't change the outcome of an election.

On Friday, the "No on 92″ campaign issued this statement: "We are confident that Measure 92 has been defeated."

“Снегопад, снегопад…” — ©

Сегодня многие мои друзья говорили мне о небывалом снегопаде в Баффало..

Сам я новости по ТВ смотрю очень нерегулярно. В основном, просматриваю разные новостные сайты, и, по большей части, локальные.

Поскольку снегопад не рядом, решил сам посмотреть.

Очень хорошая фотография, позволяющая иметь представление о буйствовании стихии.

Buffalo’s first snowstorm of the season could give the area a year’s worth of snow — around 8 feet — in just three days.

More than 5 feet of snow was already on the ground Wednesday, and another round of lake-effect snow is forecast to bring an additional 3 feet of snow to the Buffalo area on Thursday and Friday. The average snowfall for an entire year: 93.6 inches, or close to 8 feet.

“This is a historic event. When all is said and done, this snowstorm will break all sorts of records, and that’s saying something in Buffalo,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a visit to the city.

Christopher Burt, a weather historian with the Weather Underground, said this Lake Erie snowstorm “will go down as the most extreme on record.”

For the second straight day, overnight temperatures in all 50 states Wednesday fell to freezing or lower — even in Hawaii, atop the high mountain summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island.

At least seven deaths in western New York were blamed on the snow, including three from heart attacks while shoveling.

While the worst of the cold will ease Thursday, temperatures will still be below-average in the East, the National Weather Service said.

Record cold was reported Wednesday morning in New York City (22 degrees at LaGuardia), Washington (13 at Dulles), Raleigh, N.C. (19), and as far south as Jacksonville (27).

In Corpus Christi, Texas, experts are caring for about 140 turtles stunned in a cold snap that left the reptiles stranded on Gulf Coast beaches.

In western New York, the cold just added to the misery of the massive mounds of snow.

The storm came in so fast and furious over Lake Erie early Tuesday it trapped more than 100 vehicles along a 132-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway that remained closed Wednesday.

Some areas have so much snow that road crews said it was like plowing a brick wall. Rescuers, who have been using snowmobiles, also walked car to car to try to dig out people stuck in their vehicles.

A bus with the Niagara University women’s basketball team was stuck on the Thruway for more than 24 hours while returning from a game in Pittsburgh. State troopers eventually were able to pick them up and bring them to a nearby police station, Niagara guard Tiffany Corselli said.

The last time a storm this huge hit was in December 2001, when 80 to 90 inches of snow fell on the region in a five-day period.

Shoveling snow is indeed hard work: The weight of the snow on a typical Buffalo driveway is about 25 tons, WeatherBell meteorologist Ryan Maue estimated.

The Buffalo Bills’ game on Sunday against the New York Jets could be in jeopardy, as their stadium is buried under 220,000 tons of snow, according to the team. “We have not had this much snow, as far as we know, in the history of our team,” said Andy Major, the Bills’ vice president of operations and guest experience

In New Hampshire and elsewhere, icy roads led to accidents. Lake-effect storms in Michigan produced gale-force winds and as much as 18 inches of snow.

In Atlanta, tourists Morten and Annette Larsen from Copenhagen were caught off-guard by the 30-degree weather as they took photos of a monument to the 1996 Summer Olympics at Centennial Olympic Park.

“It’s as cold here as it is in Denmark right now. We didn’t expect that,” Larsen said, waving a hand over his denim jacket, buttoned tightly over a hooded sweatshirt.

Выживший в концлагерях нацистов…

…Интервью с выживщим в Освенциме и Бухенвальде…

Martin Greenfield was only fifteen years old when he and his family were sent to Auschwitz and later Buchenwald. He endured brutal and horrific conditions, coming face with some of the worst Nazis of all time including Dr. Mengele. The Nazis beat him, starved him, and tortured him. To survive, he nearly lost his humanity.

At one point, while working for the local mayor, Greenfield stole the rotten food being fed to to the rabbits. When the mayor's wife found out, she had him beaten. He swore revenge, but something changed when they next came face to face. He shared the story with Glenn on his TV show Monday night.

"I worked in ammunition factory in Buchenwald, and then they took 15 people [to the mayor's house]. I was strong enough, so I was one of them, because the mayor's house was bombed, that we should clean it up. So I went to work hard," he said.

Among the wreckage of the house, Greenfield came across live rabbits in cages that had survived the bombing.

"Carrying to the lady there with a baby, the mayor's wife, I guess she was, to see, this is your white rabbit with the cage. A piece of crumb fell. We didn't eat nothing. I survived maybe because I grew up on a farm. I knew what I could eat when I found grass or something that is edible. And I took the piece of thing to bite from the floor."

"She's a Nazi. She tells the Gestapo I ate up the food from the rabbits instead of saying thank you for the rabbits," he said. Greenfield was subsequently beaten by the Gestapo.

Greenfield swore that he would kill the woman after what she did to him.

After the liberation, Greenfield and some other boys got a gun and went after her. But something happened when he saw her standing with her baby.

"When I came with a machine gun with my friend, and when I saw the kid and I saw her, all of a sudden that was when I became human again," Greenfield said.

"That was the day after the liberation where I became the kid that was brought up by my parents to believe in God, never to kill anybody, only to teach them and show them passion that was taught to me by God that I should never kill anybody. I never used a gun in my life."

"That day I was human again because of that woman."

Glenn: Now, I want to introduce you to a man who chose hope in a completely hopeless situation and won. We were just sitting here in the break, and he was talking about how he is a servant at heart. He just wants to serve and make things better. His name is Martin Greenfield. He was 15 years old when his family was sent to Auschwitz, and he has a brand-new book out called The Measure of a Man. What a pleasure to meet you.

Martin: The pleasure is mine.

Glenn: Just a pleasure. The audience is going to be so excited to hear the rest of the story on your life, but let's start at the beginning. You're 15 years old. You met Mengele. You saw Mengele, and your family was separated. Can you tell me just a little bit?

Martin: I could tell you exactly what happened. When we arrived in Auschwitz from the ghetto at night on Saturday night locked in the cable car, you know, that we were with no bathrooms, nothing until we got there, the whole family together holding hands. My younger brother was four years old, and they sent me to put up as before I got there, so he held his older brother's hand all night.

We got out, and I came in front of the man, and I looked at his boots, and I saw my picture, because you always as a kid look at the boots. Then I look up at the man, and the man moves me to the right. And then my mother and my brother she's holding, he wants my mother to go to the right. My mother wouldn't put down my brother. I let go of my brother's hand. My mother took him to carry. My father to the right and everybody to the left, and I didn't know nothing about Mengele or about ghettos. I was just barely 15 years old, not even 15, because it was March. August is when I would've been 15.

And I was a boy. I didn't know about Gestapo or Mengele or the concentration camp, nothing. That was my feeling that minute. And then I was pushed to the right, and then my younger sister, she was blonde with blue eyes, and all of a sudden he put her to the right too. So three of us went to the right, and everybody, my grandfather, my grandmother, everybody on the left. I was on the right. Then we go to the right, and they take us to dress naked. And the guy comes over to shave my father and everybody when I was a kid.

And then they took us someplace, and they put the tattoos on my hand that I brought to show you anyway because I never let go of them. My number was 84406, no more name. My father was 84405, and my sister and they were so…but then I found out what Mengele did with the young blonde kids, that they practiced on them.

Glenn: So you go, you are in a horrific situation. Later…I hate to do this to your entire life. Please read this book, but let me just condense it down. There's two things that I want to hit. One, you were at one point eating rotten food out of a rabbit cage, and the concentration or the mayor, his wife, caught you eating the food, correct?

Martin: Oh, you mean that was later the next in Buchenwald?

Glenn: Yes.

Martin: That was the worst thing that happened to me.

Glenn: And so you're eating this, and she comes out.

Martin: Can you imagine? I work in ammunition factory in Buchenwald, and then they took 15 people. You know, I was strong enough, so I was one of them, because the mayor's house was bombed, that we should clean it up. So I went to work hard. Me, they put in the basement to clean up the basement. It was bombed. The Americans bombed it because Roosevelt, whatever, because he made that deal with Stalin.

Glenn: Right. Right.

Martin: So I was there, and I cleaned up, and I find live rabbits. Can you imagine a boy saving, find something, like all of us know, saving any kind of life? Carrying to the lady there with a baby, the mayor's wife, I guess she was, to see, this is your white rabbit with the cage. A piece of crumb fell. You know, we didn't eat nothing. I survived maybe because I grew up on a farm. I knew which I could eat when I found grass or something that is edible. And I took the piece of thing to bite from the floor. She's a Nazi. She tells the Gestapo I ate up the food from the rabbits instead of saying thank you for the rabbits. Can you imagine this, a woman, instead of saying you got my rabbits, so he should beat the crap out of me?

Glenn: Now here's the turning point. There's so much to this story that I really want you to please read this.

Martin: I'm going to tell you this whole story exactly what happened to me.

Glenn: We have to take a quick break, and I want you to tell me, because his life is truly amazing, and I want you to tell me the story, because you passed on an opportunity to hurt back, and then you've taken your life, and you have been with how many presidents now?

Martin: So you see this is what upset me a little bit.

Glenn: Hang on. Wait, don't go into it yet. Just how many presidents have you been with?

Martin: I started Eisenhower liberated.

Glenn: Eisenhower.

Martin: Eisenhower liberated me in concentration camp. He came with his other general, and they saw the piles of bodies that they couldn't burn. The Jews were on the bottom, and I was the only guy because the Czechs, they didn't march me to death because of my Czech friends. They said you are a Czech. You're not a Jew. Stay with us. So I was the only Jew the rabbi found. He was looking for a Jew. He said, "I'm a rabbi. Are you Jewish? I'm looking for a Jew." I said I'm a Jew. I'm a Jew. Come over here, talk to me. So he came over and talked to me.

I said you're not a rabbi. You're Jewish. You're a soldier. He says no, I'm a soldier rabbi. So I'm asking you one question. Can you do me a favor, not for me, for my 4-year-old brother that I know now that he was burned? Where was God? Not for me, because I might have sinned. Maybe I deserved to be here, but my four-year-old boy had no sins whatsoever. He didn't live long enough. He could have been a rabbi like you. Why didn't God help him?

He says I can't answer you because I'm not prepared to answer your questions, so I started crying. I started crying because I said to him who am I going to ask? You're the rabbi. You've got to help me, thinking because I believe in God, save me. So I'm not asking for myself. My brother could have been a rabbi like you. You don't know what he would have become. God didn't know yet because he didn't sin yet. All of us maybe have a little sin. Whatever happened, God is a busy man. I understand that.

[break]

Glenn: We are having the greatest conversation. We're going to have to continue this online because we have three and a half minutes, and you have to know what this man has done since, because he dresses the presidents. He dresses stars. He has made the suits for…I mean, this guy has gone on to do amazing things, but the best thing, let's go back to the lady that when she had you beaten for stealing the food.

Martin: I am telling you that that lady that hurt me that I was going to shoot, I was going to kill, I was going to do everything—

Glenn: You threatened her.

Martin: But when I came with a machine gun with my friend, whatever, and when I saw the kid and I saw her, all of a sudden that was when I became human again. That was the day after the liberation where I became the kid that was brought up by my parents to believe in God, never to kill anybody, only to teach them and show them passion that was taught to me by God that I should never kill anybody. I never used a gun in my life.

I want to just deal with people and instill in them something that was taught to me to be a person that respects somebody else, not kill them, teach them how to become a person, believe in God like I do. And that day I was human again because of that woman.

Glenn: You went to her house. She was holding her baby.

Martin: I went to her, and I didn't kill her. And I went a second time. The only thing I wanted to take her husband's car, and I took the car. Who's going to drive? I do everything. I found the car, and I drive it to the camp. It doesn't matter. It's just that I thank God that my parents brought me up the right way, and from then on, I educated myself, and I worked hard.

America, when I got that green card, I became an American like you and later a citizen. When I got my citizen papers, the guy questioned me with stupid questions, and I said can I ask you a few questions? He didn't know about the Constitution. He didn't know everything what I knew. I read every book about America. I says you're supposed to work for me. I pay you. You should know more than me. I should have your job. You should have mine.

But this is what I became. This country, I thank the soldiers. I saw there that you read the letters, what I wrote in the post. I thank the soldiers. I wrote those letters. I wrote this letter about a woman. I wish other people would read the same thing and behave what I had the experience to go through.

Glenn: What happened to her? She died.

Martin: So thank you for having me.

Glenn: Oh my gosh, thank you. It is such an honor. It is really truly an honor.

Martin: The honor is mine.

Glenn: I want you to read this book, The Measure of a Man. You have to know this man's story. We've only touched the surface. Thank you. God bless you.

Странное убийство…

Студент погиб, после того, как один очень добрый мужчина, ударил его ножом 11-ть раз..

Следователи в недоумении…

McMINNVILLE, Ore. — A team of 15 investigators is working to try and figure out what triggered the deadly confrontation between a man with a knife and a Linfield College student at a 7-Eleven store in McMinnville last weekend. But even the district attorney admits, many questions may never be answered.

“I’m not sure that we will ever have an explanation of how Parker Moore became the target of this stabbing and was killed. Why him? Why there? Why then? I don’t know that we will ever be able to answer those questions in a way that is at all satisfying,” Yamhill County District Attorney Brad Berry told KGW Tuesday.

Moore, 20, died from multiple stab wounds. His suspected attacker, Joventino Arenas, 33, was shot and killed by police after he returned to the scene later.

“This case is tragic not just on the Moore family end of it, it’s certainly tragic on their [Arenas'] family also,” Berry said. “There’s another loss of life here. I can assure you this investigation is being done methodically and completely.”

Many of the most baffling questions surround Arenas. Was he alone? Why did he allegedly target Moore? Was he drunk or high? Why did he return to the scene?

Police said witness accounts indicated that Arenas was alone and the attack was unprovoked. However, they have just begun studying surveillance video from cameras inside and outside of the store, which may uncover more details.

Berry added that toxicology tests normally take 10-12 weeks, but they will be expedited for this investigation. Autopsies have already been completed on both Moore and Arenas.

The other part of the case yet to unravel surrounds what happened after the attack. The store clerk told police the suspect ran out the door and vanished.

Arenas’ family said he went home and confided in them that there was a “problema” at the 7-Eleven and he was going back to turn himself in.

Police were questioning a witness when Arenas re-appeared at the store.

“They were talking in the parking lot to a witness, and he pointed and said, ‘There, he is right there!'” explained Capt. Tim Svenson with the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office. “The officers commanded him to show his hands, and he presented a knife, and that’s what resulted in him being shot.”

But was there a language barrier? Arenas’ family only speaks Spanish. Investigators have not said whether the suspect spoke before he was shot, or in what language.

Berry said many McMinnville officers speak Spanish, but did not comment specifically on whether the officers involved in the shooting were bilingual.

“Somebody walking up to an officer doesn’t communicate by standing there what language they speak. And officers in a very sudden and dangerous situation are going to respond how they are trained to respond. Their ability to discern the language of the person they are looking at, by looks, is impossible,” he said.

Arenas’ brother-in-law said Joventino was good man and a hard worker who stuck close to his family.

Moore was described as a man of character, a model of integrity and a popular Linfield student.

Now two well-loved men are gone. The final question haunting many; what could have been the motive?

“I’m not sure that we will ever have that. I don’t know,” Berry said.

Обама начинает и…

На этой неделе Обама начинает свое противостояние с Республиканцами, которые, после промежуточных выборов теперь контролируют Сенат.

Пока, основными “точками пересечения” является строительство нефтепровода через территорию США в Канаду и Имиграционная реформа. Республиканцы грозят начать депортировать всех “нелегалов”, которые будут установлены соответствующими службами как живущие в стране незаконно.

Обама обещал провести реформу, с возможностью всем “нелегалам” легализоваться. Где-то я видел цифру в несколько миллионов нелегально проживающих в стране.

Президент Обама давал обещания баллотируясь на второй срок в “Белом Доме”. Как я понимаю, таким образом он обеспечил себе голоса испаноговорящей части избирателей.

В первом случае, с нефтепроводом, у Обамы есть только право “вето”, которое он грозится применить. С иммиграционной реформой все обстоит сложнее. Впрочем, Обама может и здесь воспользоваться правом “вето”.

Как бы то ни было, а за оставшиеся два года президенства, если Обама не сможет провести реформу так, как он это обещал, — он может стать самым недееспособным Президентом. Его заслуга пока только реформа здравоохранения, так называемая ObamaCare. Но и это достижение Президента Республиканцы грозятся “обнулить”.

Два оставшиеся года для Обамы обещают быть очень “веселыми”.

Washington (CNN) — A defiant Barack Obama dives into what could be a defining period of his presidency this week, after repeatedly enraging Republicans from afar during his Asia tour.
Obama faces showdowns with the GOP over immigration, the Keystone XL pipeline and his drive for a nuclear deal with Iran, all of which have huge consequences for his political legacy.
Far from being chastened by the Republican capture of the Senate, Obama is setting out to prove he is no lame duck and can still set the agenda.
But the GOP insists the mid-terms gave them a share of power in Washington, and believe Obama risks usurping his authority and even the constitution with his bold new strategy.
Obama drawing lines on immigration, climate change Obama chose a highly symbolic setting to set the tone for two final White House years in which he will face a unified Republican Congress.
Side-by-side in Myanmar with the world’s most famous dissident, Obama refused to bow to what Republicans regard as the capital’s new political “reality.”
On the veranda of the lakeside villa from where Aung San Suu Kyi faced down a junta, Obama said he had long warned House Republicans he would use executive power to reform the US immigration system if they failed to.

“That’s gonna happen. That’s gonna happen before the end of the year.”
The president doubled down in Australia on Sunday, before boarding Air Force One for home, saying he would be derelict in his duties if he did not act.
“I can’t wait in perpetuity when I have authorities that at least for the next two years can improve the system,” he said.
White House officials have not said when Obama will wield his executive powers in a move that could remove the threat of deportation for millions of undocumented people. But they say it will be soon.
While Obama was abroad, post-election tensions escalated sharply on Capitol Hill as happy talk from both sides about working together quickly ebbed away. Senior aides dispute the idea the elections were a referendum on the President and say Obama is at his best when he is on “offense” and believe that’s what Americans want to see.
So, as he trekked through Asia, Obama rattled Republicans almost every day.
He surprised everyone with a new climate deal with China that the GOP slammed as costly and “ridiculous.” He popped up on video to discuss new Internet regulations that may spark another row. He refused to budge on approving the Keystone XL pipeline to take oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast. He may veto a bill on the project that Congress is expected to pass this week.
While in Asia, the president debunked the idea that the plan, opposed by environmentalists in his political base, would create lots of jobs and lower gas prices.
Obama says he still wants to work with Republicans on tax reform and infrastructure spending bills. But it looks like he has decided that he won’t compromise his legacy priorities to get that done.

GOP promises retribution, but avoids specifics

Republicans are fuming over Obama’s go-it-alone attitude since voters handed the GOP the Senate and expanded its majority in the House.
“We’d like for the president to recognize the reality that he has the government that he has, not the one he wishes he had,” said the next Republican Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham warned Obama could spark a backlash over immigration.
“If he goes it alone he is going to run into the ire of the American people,” Graham said, though said Congress also had a responsibility to act.
Republican Senate leadership member Roy Blunt warned however that Obama will eventually have to play ball, or he will end up with Republican bills he doesn’t like.
“At that point, his choice is to sign it or veto it.”
Republican leader John Boehner said his goal was to stop the president from violating his oath of office and the constitution.
“There are things he is just not going to get.”
Republican anger is however masking a serious problem the party has yet to resolve : how to hit back at what it sees a presidential power grab.
Other than warning that Obama would “poison the well” for future cooperation, GOP leaders won’t say whether they will use pending federal funding bills as leverage.
That route led to a damaging government shutdown for which the GOP paid a heavy political price last year.
One response could be to pass a series of short term funding measures, that keep administration priorities in limbo and maximize Republican leverage.
House Republicans could also chose to expand the lawsuit they have already lodged against Obama alleging he usurped his authority in implementing Obamcare. Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer stirred buzz on Friday by declaring executive action on immigration would even be an “impeachable” offense.
GOP leaders are already braced for pressure from the right for a tangible and not merely symbolic reflex when the president acts.
“If the president moves forward and does his executive action, the Republicans have no choice but to respond,” said Dan Holler, communications director of Heritage Action for America, a conservative non profit group.
“That response needs to be legislative. The vehicle that makes most sense is denying funding for the activity that they say is unconstitutional and inappropriate.”
Obamacare: Voters, are you stupid?

Obama’s strategy could divide Republicans
Holler’s point reflects a secondary benefit some Democrats see in Obama’s strategy — it will cause a big political headache for Republican bosses.
Obama’s immigration move is certain to ignite a firestorm of grass roots conservative anger. That will in turn pile pressure on rank-and-file Republican House members who campaigned for office slamming what they see as an imperial president.
Some conservative lawmakers were already skittish at leadership warnings that it might be impossible to repeal Obamacare with a Democratic president in the White House.
Nothing worries Republicans in deeply conservative districts more than the prospect of a primary challenge, and many simply cannot afford not to mount the kind of rowdy response to Obama which will rock Boehner’s restive caucus.
Several House Republicans are arguing that it’s time to quickly get to work on holding hearings and drafting an immigration bill to demonstrate their party has its own reform ideas, and is not just about blocking the president’s policies.
“Ultimately we all know we’ve got to deal with this problem, so why not start dealing with the problem – even though it’s the lame duck, even though you’re not going to get anything through to final passage,” Idaho Republican Rep Mike Simpson told reporters Friday.
“Now we could start showing some seriousness that we’re going to address this problem.”
Executive orders on immigration will also detonate as the 2016 presidential race dawns, trapping Republicans between the party’s activist base and a desire to engage Hispanic voters vital to GOP White House hopes.
Republicans are also adamantly opposed to the nuclear deal with Iran which could emerge from down-to-the-wire talks in Vienna starting this week and are threatening to upend it with new sanctions.
Obama appears to reject the idea Republicans have a mandate for change at all. He stressed in his post-election news conference that two thirds of Americans did not even vote and he was “the guy who’s elected by everybody.”
But he knows a tough political fight looms and reflected Friday on the contrast between polarization at home and the welcome he gets on his travels.
“You are always popular in somebody else’s country. When you’re in your own country, everybody is complaining.”

Четвертый срок…

На недавних выборах, Губернатором Орегона в четвертый раз стал Китцхабер.

Его переизбрали даже несмотря на то, что предвыборная кампания далась ему нелегко. Все было омрачено скандалом с его невестой, которая пользовалась его положением.

В Америке это не особо приветствуется, правда, Китцхаберу это сошло с рук.

Впрочем, Орегон — штат демократический. А Китцхабер — демократ. Так что, у него больших поблем с переизбранием не было.

Даже несмотря на скандал.

Это все о нем…

PORTLAND, Ore. – Governor John Kitzhaber has been busy in recent days, crunching numbers for the state budget. It’s an important, if mundane, job for the governor of any state.

What’s not typical as Kitzhaber starts his unprecedented fourth term is the Oregon Government Ethics Commission investigation hanging over his head.

The commission is trying to determine if Kitzhaber’s fiancée Cylvia Hayes used her public position in his administration to help her private business.

Kitzhaber acknowledged in an interview on Friday afternoon that the re-election campaign was tough and that many voters – even Democrats – have reasons to question him.

“You’ve got to re-prove yourself to voters every single time you’re elected,” he said. “I think I’ve got some rebuilding to do and I’m very confident I can do it.”

Kitzhaber had turned down repeated interview requests from KGW News over the past several weeks. On Friday he offered up 15 minutes at a state office building in downtown Portland for an interview.

Kitzhaber said he’s anxious to see what the ethics commission says about what role Hayes can play in his office.

“I think some of those questions will hopefully be answered with the work of the ethics commission, but I think her role is going to be different moving forward,” Kitzhaber said. “We want to avoid any perceptions or problems we had in the past.”

Even if Hayes has a different role or no public role in the administration moving forward, we can expect to still see her around Salem. Kitzhaber said they still plan to get married and will set a wedding date sometime after the upcoming legislative session.

Kitzhaber recently asked the ethics commission to give him guidance on boundaries for a first lady in Oregon, but they declined to do so. Still, the question remains: If Kitzhaber thought there might be a conflict of interest, why didn’t he seek the commission’s guidance years ago?

“I think that’s a fair question. Had we put something before the ethics commission two or three years ago we might have learned something useful,” he said. “The fact is we didn’t and we have to deal with the situation as it exists today.”

Kitzhaber said he relied only on his internal lawyers to review if Hayes’ work in his office conflicted with her private business.

“Obviously there are some outstanding questions and we’re very anxious to have that answered,” he said.

This past week Willamette Week and The Oregonian published articles raising questions about staff from his campaign also being directly involved in guiding Cover Oregon and the transition to the federal health insurance exchange.

Kitzhaber told KGW he was aware that campaign staff were working with Cover Oregon, although he claims it had “absolutely nothing” to do with the campaign.

“My interest was insuring as many Oregonians as possible. I took personal control of all the decision-making process in that effort and I engaged all the resources I had at my disposal both inside and outside state government,” Kitzhaber said. “I think it’s perfectly appropriate for the governor of the state of Oregon to seek counsel and advice from anyone in the state of Oregon on any topic.”

Скифы. Александр Блок

Вспомнил. Когда-то эта поэма произвела на меня впечатление.

Скифы

Мильоны — вас. Нас — тьмы, и тьмы, и тьмы.
Попробуйте, сразитесь с нами!
Да, скифы — мы! Да, азиаты — мы,
С раскосыми и жадными очами!

Для вас — века, для нас — единый час.
Мы, как послушные холопы,
Держали щит меж двух враждебных рас
Монголов и Европы!

Века, века ваш старый горн ковал
И заглушал грома́ лавины,
И дикой сказкой был для вас провал
И Лиссабона, и Мессины!

Вы сотни лет глядели на Восток,
Копя и плавя наши перлы,
И вы, глумясь, считали только срок,
Когда наставить пушек жерла!

Вот — срок настал. Крылами бьет беда,
И каждый день обиды множит,
И день придет — не будет и следа
От ваших Пестумов, быть может!

О старый мир! Пока ты не погиб,
Пока томишься мукой сладкой,
Остановись, премудрый, как Эдип,
Пред Сфинксом с древнею загадкой!

Россия — Сфинкс! Ликуя и скорбя,
И обливаясь черной кровью,
Она глядит, глядит, глядит в тебя
И с ненавистью, и с любовью!..

Да, так любить, как любит наша кровь,
Никто из вас давно не любит!
Забыли вы, что в мире есть любовь,
Которая и жжет, и губит!

Мы любим всё — и жар холодных числ,
И дар божественных видений,
Нам внятно всё — и острый галльский смысл,
И сумрачный германский гений…

Мы помним всё — парижских улиц ад,
И венецьянские прохлады,
Лимонных рощ далекий аромат,
И Кельна дымные громады…

Мы любим плоть — и вкус ее, и цвет,
И душный, смертный плоти запах…
Виновны ль мы, коль хрустнет ваш скелет
В тяжелых, нежных наших лапах?

Привыкли мы, хватая под уздцы
Играющих коней ретивых,
Ломать коням тяжелые крестцы,
И усмирять рабынь строптивых…

Придите к нам! От ужасов войны
Придите в мирные объятья!
Пока не поздно — старый меч в ножны,
Товарищи! Мы станем — братья!

А если нет — нам нечего терять,
И нам доступно вероломство!
Века, века — вас будет проклинать
Больное позднее потомство!

Мы широко по дебрям и лесам
Перед Европою пригожей
Расступимся! Мы обернемся к вам
Своею азиатской рожей!

Идите все, идите на Урал!
Мы очищаем место бою
Стальных машин, где дышит интеграл,
С монгольской дикою ордою!

Но сами мы — отныне вам не щит,
Отныне в бой не вступим сами,
Мы поглядим, как смертный бой кипит,
Своими узкими глазами.

Не сдвинемся, когда свирепый гунн
В карманах трупов будет шарить,
Жечь города, и в церковь гнать табун,
И мясо белых братьев жарить!..

В последний раз — опомнись, старый мир!
На братский пир труда и мира,
В последний раз на светлый братский пир
Сзывает варварская лира!

Ничего он не понял…

После проигранных промежуточных выборов, первая реакция Обамы говорила, как бы, что он — понял.

Ничего он не понял…

President Barack Obama is still not doubting the virtue of any of his policies as a result of his party’s beating in last week’s midterms. He’s trying to rethink his messaging on everything from immigration to sending more troops to Iraq and negotiations with Iran. So far, though, the sales job isn’t drastically different.

He told CBS’ Bob Schieffer in an interview for “Face the Nation” on Sunday that “there is a failure of politics there that we’ve got to improve on” among his team and Democrats. “It’s not enough just to build a better mousetrap. People don’t automatically come beating to your door. We’ve got to sell it.”

Sounding sort of half-hearted about it, Obama accepted responsibility for the election results, borrowing from Harry Truman to say “the buck stops with me.” He refrained from taking a jab back at outgoing Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose staff has laid the blame at Obama’s feet. “There are times,” he said, “there’s no doubt about it, where, you know I think we have not been successful in going out there and letting people know what it is that we’re trying to do and why this is the right direction.”

With Republicans trying to pressure Obama not to do executive action on immigration before year’s end because they’re working on it, Obama is re-calibrating his message to try not to appear impatient while pressing ahead. “What I’m saying to them, actually, their time hasn’t run out,” he said. “If in fact it’s true that they want to pass a bill, they’ve got good ideas, nobody’s stopping them. And the minute they do it, and the minute I sign that bill, then what I’ve done goes away.”

On his move to double the U.S. forces back into Iraq to about 3,000, Obama rejected the notion that meant his previous approach to fighting the Islamic State terror group wasn’t enough while also insisting this isn’t a return to U.S. combat. He said his military advisers say sending more forces now means “we may actually see fewer troops over time.” It’s a “new phase” that puts the U.S. and Iraqi government on offense rather than defense, he said.

Obama also did something interesting on the messaging about the Islamic State by invoking its ties in Iraq to Saddam Hussein. He called the group “an extreme group of the sort we haven’t seen before, but it also combines terrorist tactics with on the ground capabilities, in part because they incorporate a lot of Saddam Hussein’s old military commanders.”

The president refused to talk in detail about a secret letter he sent to the supreme leader of Iran about fighting the Islamic State, except to say that the U.S. won’t connect its nuclear talks with Iran to its approach to the terror organization.

He did elaborate on the broader U.S. relationship with Iran, and why Iran’s “anti-Israeli rhetoric and behavior” and sponsorship of terrorism would continue to limit it. “So that’s a whole other set of issues which prevents us from ever being true allies,” he said, adding that “there’s still a big gap” with Iran on the nuclear negotiations with another deadline approaching this month. While progress has been made, Obama said, “we may not be able to get there.”

Schieffer also aired an interview Sunday with President George W. Bush, and in an interesting juxtaposition with Obama, Bush talked about how his father lost re-election even after his popular Gulf War success driving Saddam Hussein back into Iraq.

Bush called that an “an interesting lesson of how to spend political capital.” In his father’s case, Bush said, the White House has failed to show Americans “that domestic politics really mattered for George Bush as much as international politics.”

Смерть на стадионе…

Вчера, во время игры Portland “Trail Blazers” против Dallas “Mavericks” умерла женщина 67-ми лет.

Сердечный приступ.

Врач команды “Blazers” бросился на помощь. Игру остановили на некоторое время и женщину практически сразу увезли в госпиталь…

Спасти не смогли.

PORTLAND — A 67-year-old Portland woman who collapsed at the Moda Center Thursday night has died, according to a medical examiner.

The Trail Blazers identified the woman as Sandra Zickefoose in a statement released Friday afternoon.

The game between the Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers being broadcast nationally on TNT was halted in the middle of the fourth quarter when the woman collapsed in section 111 of the Moda Center.

Fans started CPR as emergency crews were sent into the stands to take over the life-saving effort. Zickefoose was rushed to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center.

Multnomah County’s deputy medical examiner confirmed Friday morning Zickefoose had died.

Several Trail Blazers players at Friday’s practice said they prayed for Zickefoose as the situation unfolded and after the game in the locker room.

Players learned she had died just before practice began Friday morning.

“It’s sad. Prayers are out to her family,” said Wesley Matthews. “It’s tough to see something like that. It’s just a sad feeling right now.”

LaMarcus Aldridge told reporters the woman who died was a season ticket holder.

“It’s very sad to hear. I said a prayer for her during the game and I definitely said a prayer for her last night,” said Aldridge. “I was hoping she’d pull through.”

Aldridge and Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts said the players were shaken up when medics attended to Zickefoose and rushed her to a hospital.

“Obviously it’s very sad. I think it took everybody by surprise,” Stotts said. “Certainly everybody in the arena was affected by it. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family.”

The Trail Blazers and the Rose Quarter released the following statement on Friday:

“The Portland Trail Blazers, our players and Rose Quarter staff are saddened to learn of Ms. Zickefoose’s death, and extend our deepest condolences to her husband Michael Cowan, and their family. We are grateful to all on-site medical personnel, other first responders and the medical professionals seated near Ms. Zickefoose who administered treatment and assistance during last night’s emergency. We also thank Trail Blazers fans for their tremendous outpouring of support and concern.”

На свободу, — после 12-ти лет в Гуантанамо…

..Не так давно я писал про фильм Camp X-Ray

Сегодня в новостях..

(CNN) — A Kuwaiti man tied to al Qaeda, who was in Afghanistan in the days after 9/11, is out of the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he’d been held for the last 12 years, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
The Defense Department announced the transfer of Fawzi al-Odah to the Kuwaiti government. It wasn’t immediately clear how Kuwait will handle al-Odah’s case, including if he’ll be freed totally.
Regardless, the move represents a major milestone for al-Odah, who has pressed for his release for years and whose family has long professed his innocence.
According to a 2010 U.S. appeals court document on his case, al-Odah, who was born in Kuwait City in 1977, traveled to Afghanistan in August 2001. He says he went there to do charity work and teach the Quran, the Muslim holy text, to the poor and needy; the U.S. government says he went to join the Taliban in its fight against the Northern Alliance.

Upon his arrival, al-Odah met with a Taliban official who he said took him to schools around the Afghan countryside. Federal prosecutors dispute this assertion, saying that al-Odah couldn’t name any of the schools he went to, fellow teachers or students.
He was in the longtime Taliban stronghold of Kandahar on September 11, 2001, the day that members of al Qaeda — the terrorist group led by Osama bin Laden that had found a home in Afghanistan — hijacked four U.S. commercial airliners and crashed them, killing nearly 3,000 people.
Al-Odah rented a car and drove to eastern Afghanistan’s Logar province, contending that he wanted to leave the country.
But he did not, instead staying there about a month before acquiring an AK-47 rifle that he had while walking around the mountainous Tora Bora region with about 150 men. Tora Bora is where U.S. forces and their allies cornered bin Laden in December 2001, before he managed to escape into Pakistan, according to a U.S. Senate report.
His group came under attack at one point, but al-Odah survived unscathed. Yet his ordeal came to an end in late 2001, when Pakistani guards detained him at Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan. Al-Odah was then passed to U.S. authorities, and he was moved to Guantanamo Bay in early 2002.
Federal authorities have tied al-Odah to al Qaeda on a number of fronts, including that his name appeared in a document on the terrorist group’s official website and that his passport was found in an al Qaeda safe house
Yet his father, who fought alongside U.S. forces in the first Gulf War, says al-Odah has been wrongly imprisoned.
“He went in 2001, trying to help people and teach them,” Khalif al-Odah told CNN in January 2003. “Then 9/11 happened, and he was caught there during the war.”
Al-Odah’s release leaves 148 prisoners still at Guantanamo Bay, which was repurposed after the September 11, 2001, attacks to hold detainees in the so-called war on terror.
Since they were not on American soil, then-President George W. Bush’s administration said Guantanamo detainees were not covered by the U.S. Constitution and instead were “enemy combatants,” a label that gave them limited legal protections.
President Barack Obama signed an executive order to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center days after his 2009 inauguration. Yet, while the number of detainees has dwindled — through releases like that of al-Odah, as well as controversial swaps this year of five prisoners for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, an American soldier captured in Afghanistan — the facility remains open.

Дети с инвалидностью…

…Друг прислал ссылку…

Dasha Daunis is a lively 15-year-old who loves animals. She talks with her mother, Anastasia, about a recent trip to the circus, where they saw her favorite, bears.

Dasha was born with Down syndrome, and Anastasia says the doctors at the hospital told her that her baby would never thrive.

“Everyone was saying, the most reasonable decision is to abandon the child, because it’s a cross you’ll have to bear all your life,” she recalls. “This child will never even understand that you are its father and mother. And your friends and your family will turn away from you.”

Anastasia says she couldn’t bear to leave her child behind, and after more than a year, she brought Dasha home from the orphanage. She never regretted her decision.

Instead, she thinks the doctors who advised her were in need of help and better information themselves.

But this Russian habit of placing disabled children in orphanages has changed little over the years, according to a new report highlighting problems with Russia’s treatment of disabled kids.

Human Rights Watch, the U.S.-based group, says that nearly 30 percent of Russian children with disabilities live in state orphanages.

“We do believe that people are still being advised to institutionalize their children,” says Andrea Mazzarino, a researcher at Human Rights Watch, which recently released its report. “We spoke with several parents who heard that advice within the past two years in Moscow alone.”

Instances Of Poor Treatment

Mazzarino says that once disabled children are consigned to state orphanages, there’s little chance that they’ll be given the attention needed to thrive. In many cases, she says, they face ill treatment.

“We visited 10 institutions across Russia, and in the vast majority, we either heard about, or we witnessed firsthand, severe forms of violence and neglect,” she says, including children being tied up and sedated, or beaten, or doused with cold water.

She says children with severe disabilities are confined to so-called “lying down” rooms, where they spend their days in cribs, kept in diapers and fed through tubes. Photos from her report show teenagers with the physical development of preschoolers after years of confinement.

Even in the most developed countries, advocates struggle to obtain civil rights and humane treatment for disabled people, but Russia seems to be moving slower than most.

Andrei Dombrovsky, an activist for the rights of disabled people, thinks the problem dates back to the Soviet period, when the official ideology called for the creation of an ideal society.

“The country was striving toward something very perfect, in which you cannot see disabled person, because he is not perfect,” says Dombrovsky, who is based in St. Petersburg. “And that’s why all disabled people were living in the institutions.”

He volunteers to help young adults make the transition from institutions to life on their own.

From A Children’s Institution To An Adult Institution

For most disabled children who grow up in Russian orphanages, the only transition they’ll make is to another institution that takes them when they’re 18, such as the adult facility outside St. Petersburg.

It’s a sprawling labyrinth of hallways with locked wards. Some residents, mostly very old, doze in chairs, or make their way slowly down the halls.

With her pink hair and punky clothes, 18-year-old Anya is a whirlwind of energy in this place, when she’s let out of the women’s ward to meet visitors. But Anya has virtually no education, and limited prospects for getting out of the institution.

Evgenia Shtil is the founder of a charity called Children of Pavlovsk, which helps young people who have aged out of one of Russia’s biggest orphanages.

Russian law actually calls for the state to provide apartments for disabled people who are capable of living on their own. The catch, Shtil says, is that applicants have to prove to a panel of experts that they’re ready for life in the community.

“It’s really hard for a person like that to prove to the panel that they’re able to cope with everyday life,” Shtil says. “The only reason for that is that for the first 18 years of their lives, nothing was done to help them achieve that goal.”

Russia says it’s taking some steps to address these issues and help children in institutions to move into the community. The government has an “action strategy” that it says will bring Russia into compliance with the international Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Advocates like Shtil and Dombrovsky are working to help rescue the young people who are products of Russia’s orphanages for disabled children. But they say, and human rights groups agree, that Russia’s reforms will need to address the entire lives of disabled children, from the moment a they are born.

Луганск. Голод…

И не только об этом. Статья, которую.. оставлю без комментария.

Было холодно, пасмурно и печально. Таксист спросил:

– У вас нет ощущения, что в городе чего-то не хватает?

– Есть, но не понимаю чего, – ответила я.

– Птиц почти не осталось, – сказал он. – Съели, когда стало совсем плохо.

Не могу вам передать всю ту гамму эмоций – от сострадания до чувства вины за лето с шашлыками, – которые я испытала от этих бесхитростных слов. Нечто подобное было в детстве, когда читали «Дневник Тани Савичевой»: девять страшных записей о гибели ее большой семьи в блокадном Ленинграде.

Вообще, у тех, кто смотрел войну по телевизору, сидя на мягком диване с чашечкой ароматного кофе, сложилось неправильное мнение, что самое страшное – это обстрелы, трупы женщин и детей на улицах, жизнь в подвалах и т. д. Конечно, с точки зрения телевизионной картинки – это жесть. Но «луганские блокадники» говорят, что к минометным обстрелам они со временем привыкли. И не только они, но даже их коты и собаки. В подвалы спускались, но далеко не все.

Это страшно звучит, но постепенно как летальную неизбежность стали воспринимать гибель соседей, знакомых, сотрудников и просто обычных прохожих у них на глазах. Об этом, кстати, рассказывают реже всего.

Самой обсуждаемой темой и самым тяжелым испытанием для города стал голод. Почти все истории трагической смерти или чудесного спасения кого-то конкретного связаны не с обстрелами, а с голодом: как случайно нашли «консервную заначку» или забытый бутыль воды. Как «выпили» бассейн в модной гостинице. И все такое прочее.

И даже «пытки», которые тут гипотетически выдумывают для Яценюка и остальных «членов партии войны», из той же серии: «вот посадить их на месяц без еды и воды, отключить телефоны, интернет, свет, газ…». Мы, не пережившие всего этого, даже представить не можем, насколько это было мучительно и страшно.

Голод разделил людей на хороших и плохих, сильных и слабых, моральных и подлых, больше, чем любая политика. Рассказывают, что первыми «вышли из строя» интеллигенты: те, кому было неловко грабить магазины, «чистить» запасы соседей, суетиться и менять вещи на еду, крупу на тушенку и т. д.

Поведали историю пожилой учительницы, которая почти не могла передвигаться из-за опухших ног. Ее дом опустел. Люди уехали. Несколько раз воду ей приносили ученики. Но потом и они рассеялись. Телефоны в городе не работали. О судьбе старушки никто не знал. Ее нашли социальные работники, когда принесли талоны на гуманитарку. Она не дождалась помощи всего пару дней…

Другая история потрясла не меньше. Девочка, студентка техникума, из неблагополучной семьи, родни никакой нет, нагуляла ребеночка, жила на детское пособие у подружки, к выживанию в экстремальных условиях приспособлена не была. Выплаты прекратились. Деньги закончились. Просить стеснялась. Доедала таблетки для похудения, которые подружка, уехавшая из города, оставила в тумбочке. Видимо, они забивали чувство голод. Бороться за жизнь у нее просто не было сил. Умерла от истощения. Тело нашли чужие люди, когда услышали непрекращающийся несколько часов плач ребенка. Врачи сказали, что при росте 165 см девочка весила 36 кг.

Банковский служащий, довольно высокого ранга. На все сбережения отправил семью в безопасное место. Сам остался. Похудел почти на 20 кг. Делился едой, помогал соседям. Ходил за водой для всех с самодельным возиком и на другой конец города заряжать телефоны. Пытался узнавать новости. Как и остальные, очень ждал первого гуманитарного конвоя. Того самого, который неделю держали на границе, придумывая поводы, чтобы не пустить. Того, что вызвал иронию Турчинова: мол, везут соль и воду, ха-ха, хи-хи.

Когда белые грузовики с простреленными тентами на большой скорости влетели в город, мужчина бегал их встречать, рыдал, как ребенок. Говорил: «Мы спасены!». Три дня стоял в очередях за талончиком. Горланить и толкаться локтями не умел. Пошел за спасительным пайком в тот самый трагический момент и в то место, о котором, как здесь считают, еще будут написаны книги и сняты фильмы: в 25-ю школу. В тот день в очередь голодных людей, стоявших за гречкой, тушенкой и сахаром, угодил снаряд…

По поводу завтрашних выборов…

…Уже начали высказываться мнения..

After tomorrow's election, we could be headed for the most dangerous period of history since the Civil War. All signs point to the Republicans regaining complete control of Congress, setting the stage for a battle between the president and the GOP over immigration reform signed into law with the president's pen and paper. The Democrats will be able to sit back and appear to the moderates, and at the forefront will be the next President of the United States: Hillary Rodham Clinton. How does it happen? Glenn laid out the prediction on radio Monday morning.

Who wins tomorrow's election? I will tell you that I do not believe it will be you that wins. It may be the Democrats, it may be the Republicans. But it definitely will not be you. And let me explain exactly what I mean by that.

I believe the Republicans are going to win tomorrow. The Republicans are going to win control of the Senate and the House. And before people who might be in this audience start to cheer, let me explain why that isn't necessarily a good thing, even for the Republicans.

I don't think it's necessarily a good thing for the Republic, because I don't believe the Republicans represent the Republic anymore. They are progressive and they will do exactly what they want. In fact, if Mitt Romney has his way, what they're going to do is immediately forward comprehensive immigration reform. And this will just be a watered-down version of what the Democrats will want to do. And you'll get all of the credit for that. Let me just talk politics here for a second. Republicans, you're going to get all the same kind of credit that you got for the Civil Rights Act. And congratulations on that, because that was yours. And you're seeing how well that's working out for you now, don't you?

So what's going to happen? The Republicans think that they're going to continue to play the same game that has always been played in America. And they think that they're going to be able to come in and actually turn the tide here. They think that they're actually going to make a difference, because they're going to come in with their reform bill and they're going to come in and they're going to start holding people responsible. But they're going to be moderate, too, you know. They're not going to be too crazy. They're not going to be like those Tea Party people.

Meanwhile, the president is standing alone. Have you noticed that? The president — there's nobody asking the president, hey, could we get the president to speak? Nobody is showing up for the president. The Democrats don't want to see the president. So what happens?

Try this out for size: Tomorrow the Republicans win. They win control of House and Senate. The [Democrats] are out. The Democrats begin to blame the president and his policies. Whether they do so outwardly or not, I'm not so sure. I think that they just continue down this road, this path, where they say, the president, it doesn't matter. The president is irrelevant at this point. The president is a lame duck. He's a lame duck president.

No, he's anything but a lame duck. Because the Democrats are going to pull away from this president, the president is going to see an open highway. The president believes the things that he says. The president believes that comprehensive immigration reform doesn't go far enough. The president believes that we shouldn't be asking people for a green card. There are no borders here. You come in. You have a right to work here. I think Rand Paul believes that. It's not so radical to some people. So he believes in this open border. He has a phone and a pen and he's going to use it.

Now, what does that do?

What that does is that sets the country on fire and splits us even deeper, because there are those who believe, and I'm one of them, that this actually is the end of the republic as we know it. You just can't open up the borders. Read Gibbons, Mr. President. It was the last act before Rome fell. You just can't open the borders, especially with everything that's going on, between the disease that, Mr. President, your policies brought in to this country. The enterovirus, that has crippled children, killed children, nobody is willing to talk about it, look into it. Look at the stats. That was brought in from people coming across the border and infecting our children. But that's just the beginning of it.

If you open and give these green cards, which they've now printed nine million green cards, if you just start giving everybody a green card, that's just going to open the borders up even more. Then everybody will come, because now they'll say, oh, my gosh. They actually did it. It's not just come and the possibility. They actually did it. So come. It opens our borders up even more.

That requires the Republicans then to take a strong stand and the Republicans to say, you can't do that, which sets up a battle. But it's a battle between the president, not the Democrats, the president and the GOP.

The Democrats will step back. The Democrats will suddenly say, you know, we're not in this. That's the president. And they will watch. And they will see which way the wind is blowing. Some will step up. Most will not. And the one that won't, the one that will be cautioning, step back, step back, just wait, wait for the right time. Wait for it to settle down. Wait for the ads to begin. Wait for them to change public opinion. And the ads will start and they will be run by people like Mark Zuckerberg.

They will run the same campaign, the campaign that was run on gay marriage. None of us hate gay people. I mean, I'm sure there are people that hate gay people. Those are in the extreme minority. And they're freaks. Nobody hate gay people. Nobody wants them to be unhappy. If you love somebody, love somebody, whatever. I'm not your judge, dude. However, I believe in traditional marriage. Okay, you don't. Okay. My stance has been why is the government involved in this at all? I don't get any value from the government telling me who I can and cannot marry. Don't do this because then the next thing the government will have to do is tell my church that I have to marry gay couples. Now you're get — now you're interfering with church. Any thinking person could see this nightmare coming a million miles away, but it was denied. And what they did was they personalized it and made anyone who said they were against gay marriage a hater. It worked now, didn't it?

So why not use this, Mark Zuckerberg, why not use this as your approach? We all know people who are living in the shadows. They cut your lawn, they fix your house. They're hardworking Americans. We all know them. Why would you hate those who are working here, who just want to have a better life?

They will begin to position it and make it personal instead of about making it about principles. Because we're a nation without any principles, because we're a nation that can't even think about principles anymore, anyone who stands against just opening up the borders is going to be deemed a hatemonger.

Maybe not the first day, but definitely by 2016. And as soon as this shakes out, it will divide the country. And it will be a fight between the president and the GOP.

And who will be there to say, look, the GOP is crazy. They're full of haters. They're full of racists. Now the president, did he do the right thing? No, I don't think he did. But there's a place in between here and we need to start talking about common sense.

May I introduce you to the next president of the United States, Hillary Rodham-Clinton.

She will play the middle ground. She will be the great mediator. She will be the one that plays right in the middle. Look, I'm not with — I'm certainly not with the GOP. But I'm not really with the president either.

We're in the most dangerous position this republic has been in since the Civil War. And it begins on Wednesday. Whenever the balance of power is given, the president is unleashed. He no longer has to worry about the Democrats because the Democrats don't like him and quite frankly I don't think he likes them.

He's certainly does not in bed with the Clintons. He doesn't like the Clintons, he never has and the Clintons don't like him.

He believes in his principles. I think he believes he's been wronged the whole time. I believe the president thinks he's a victim. He's a victim of me, of Fox News, of now it will be the Democrats deserting him. All he was trying to do is what he was trying to do.

Quite honestly, I kind of agree with him. He was at least transparent before he became president. You knew — he said everything that he was going to do. Nobody took him at his word. He said he was going to do, may I just remind you, fundamental transformation of the United States. May I just remind you of his wife. Barack knows, you're going to have to change your traditions, you're going to have to change your language. You're going to have to change everything. So he was honest. He said it.

Now you could say he wasn't exactly honest because he was lying about single-payer system, but he at least said it and we have him on tape. When, when Mitt Romney said one thing on tape in a back room, everybody said that was the worst thing that could ever possibly happen. He said that's not what I meant.

Nobody even asked the president if what they had on tape, what we played on Fox over and over and over again was what he meant. Everybody just dismissed it and pointed the finger and said you're a hater.

So I kind of actually agree with the president, that he's been wronged by his own party. He's been wronged by his own supporters. He got more done than any other democratic president in the history of the United States of America and I think that's more than FDR. He fundamentally changed the United States of America. Because he believes it.

He's going to do exactly what Woodrow Wilson tried to do but Woodrow Wilson in the end — remember, when he was, quote, the lame duck, he couldn't get those things through. This president doesn't care. This president will sign it through. And the Democrats are smart enough to just stand back.

If Harry Reid is still part of the Senate, then these things can't come true.If Harry Reid is running the Senate, then he's going to have a harder time getting these things through, because the Democrats will get the blame.

But the minute the GOP takes control, the president has a wide open highway. He'll floor this sucker.

Отсюда.

Если очень коротко, то.. Завтрашние выборы окончательно закрепят Сенат США за Республиканцами и, следовательно, Обаме в Сенате будет еще более яростная оппозиция.

Ну, и.. Как что-то уже, вполне решенное, следующим Президентом в США будет жена Билла Клинтона.

Это, — если совсем коротко..
