Hero Cop Talks to Fox

Senior Sergeant Mark Todd doesn’t consider himself a hero, but spend five minutes with him and you’ll know that’s exactly what he is.

He and fellow Sergeant Kimberly Munley were the first officers to arrive at the shooting scene in Fort Hood last week where 13 people lost their lives. Sr. Sgt. Todd told us when he first got the call, he thought it might have been people mistaking soldiers practicing a 21 gun salute for real gunfire. But as he got closer, the police dispatcher said she too had heard gunfire.

When Todd and Munley arrived, people pointed in the direction of the shooter. Then they saw him. He started firing at them and they split up. The next time Todd saw him, Todd says he drew the gunman’s attention away from the crowd and the gunman started firing at Todd again. Todd makes a point to say that both he and Officer Munley are responsible for stopping the suspect, but with Munley wounded, it was Sr. Sgt. Todd who cuffed the suspect. In a statement that speaks to Todd’s character, he says the real heros are the medics who then began to minister to the wounded. Initially, Todd wanted to remain

One Week Ago

It has now been exactly one week ago when Nadil Malik Hasan killed 13 people in a terrorist attack at Fort Hood. It is the worst since the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and near Shanksville.

PC Nonsense and Hasan

With his sworn duty to his country increasingly at odds with his perceived duty to Islam, the likeliest scenario is that the suspect in the Ft. Hood murders was both mentally unstable and a jihadi.

Perhaps recalling the brouhaha that erupted when he reflexively blamed police officer Sgt. James Crowley for the chain of events that culminated in the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., President Obama was loathe to attribute the apparently premeditated bloodbath allegedly perpetrated by Muslim-American soldier Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan to homegrown Islamic terrorism in a Rose Garden statement the next morning:

“We don’t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.”

The Washington Post notes that in his weekly radio address on Saturday, Obama “convicted” Hasan of murder, having forgotten to use the qualifiers “suspected” or “alleged”:

This past Thursday, on a clear Texas afternoon, an Army psychiatrist walked into the Soldier Readiness Processing Center, and began shooting his fellow soldiers.

FOX News-PC Nonsense and Hasan

PC is going to kill America. PC is just as dangerous as radical Islam. Both need to be exterminated with extreme prejudice. I have a solution to this PC problem. We need a Augusto Pinochet, Park Chung-Hee, Suharto, or Vlad The Impaler. Exterminate PC like what was done in Chile, Indonesia, and South Korea. That would solve the problem. Today, Chile is a success story and South Korea is the Asian Tiger. It’s interesting to note that killing commies and lefties brings on peace, stability, and prosperity, which happened in those respective nations.

‘The Jay Leno Show” has struggled mightily — but Mondays have been extra-tough.

“Leno” averaged just over 4 million viewers at 10 p.m. Monday — nearly equaling its all-time low of 3.9 million viewers set on Monday, Nov. 2.

This past Monday, “Leno” was up against original episodes of CBS’ “CSI: Miami” and ABC’s “Castle,” which averaged 14 million and 11 million viewers, respectively.

New York Post-Jay slips even more

Gees, all that promotions not helping. Jay Leno is a late night person, not prime time person. Also, talk shows like that work better at night.

Asteroid passes just 8,700miles from Earth – with only 15 hours warning

Asteroid passes just 8,700miles from Earth – with only 15 hours warning

Although no one noticed at the time, the Earth was almost hit by an asteroid last Friday.

The previously undiscovered asteroid came within 8,700 miles of Earth but astronomers noticed it only 15 hours before it made its closest approach.

Its orbit brought it 30 times nearer than the Moon, which is 250,000 miles away.

The Daily Mail-Asteroid passes just 8,700miles from Earth – with only 15 hours warning

Another close call.

Astronomers believe the object, called 2009 VA, would have almost completely burned up while entering Earth’s atmosphere, causing a brilliant fireball in the sky but no major damage to the surface.

Could of been another Tunguska Impact of 1908.

Veterans Day

Let’s take a moment and reflect on Veteran’s Day. It takes on an extra special meaning in light of the Fort Hood Terrorist Attack. God bless our veterans and active duty soldiers serving worldwide.

Fighting the pain with faith

Fighting the pain with faith
Spiritual leaders warn against hate after Fort Hood tragedy

KILLEEN — Hoping to soothe the raw emotions from last week’s rampage at Fort Hood, church leaders urged followers Sunday not to let their anger turn to hatred.

Some pastors even asked their congregations to try to forgive the man accused in the rampage, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who has yet to be charged in a shooting spree that resulted in 13 deaths and 30 injuries.

The Army psychiatrist, who was shot four times by police, remained at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio on Sunday. Officials said Hasan was conscious and “conversant” with hospital staff.

Many aren’t ready to forgive.

“Do I feel anger? I would call it fury,” said Tina Mason, whose husband is based at Fort Hood and serving in Iraq.

“It’s OK to be angry for now,” Schmidt said. “But we must not let that anger plant within our hearts seeds of hatred.”

At the interfaith service at Fort Hood’s 73rd Street Chapel, Chaplain (Col.) Frank Jackson led a prayer for the dead and the wounded — including Hasan and his family.

“Lord, we pray for Major Hasan’s family as they find themselves in a position that no person ever desires to be in,” Jackson said. “We pray for Major Hasan, asking that you would do the work that only you can do in his life.”

He cautioned against speculating or seeking an explanation for “an unfortunate random act of violence.”

To anyone who is a Christian, don’t take offense at what I say. I am not attacking Christianity in any shape and form. Just a personal observation. Some of them are just naive and clueless. Some people are just not worth saving how I see it. Evil does exist and needs to be fought. If Muslims want to avoid backlash, than they should condemn it. Clear and simple. It is not too much to ask for. No. Like I say, silence is acceptance. Anyone who sides and sympathizes with the terrorist are just as bad as the terrorist. Terrorist and terrorist sympathizers should be exterminated.

Michael Crook, the anti-American, troop hating, Fred Phelps loving scumbag strikes again. He always sides with scumbags like Lori Drew, Fred Phelps, and Nidal Hasan. He is no better than Al-Qaeda. Michael Crook, Fred Phelps, Nidal Hasan, Lori Drew, Osama bin Laden, and all moonbats deserve each other in the worst layer of Hell, who I really hate. Here is an article I wrote about Michael Crook.

Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda

Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda

Army Major in Fort Hood killing used ‘electronic means’ to connect w/ terrorists

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.

Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said that he requested the CIA and other intelligence agencies brief the committee on what was known, if anything, about Hasan by the U.S. intelligence community, only to be refused.

It is clearly terrorism right here. Hasan is a terrorist. Case closed.
