Did the governor of Alaska wig-out in the middle of her term? |
“I am not a quitter. I am a fighter,” Palin told CNN, in one of a series of interviews with national broadcast and cable networks that she gave after announcing that she was, uh, quitting before completing the job to which Alaskans elected her. |
“I’m not going to take the comfortable path. I’m going to take the right path for the state,” she said of her decision to hand over responsibility for running the state to someone else. |
The video of Palin’s CNN interview is not to be missed. |
And, yes, that really is Sarah Palin — not her “Saturday Night Live” doppelganger. |
Tina Fey would do just about anything for a laugh. |

More than 40 millionaires, including members of the Rockefeller and Disney families, are asking to have their taxes raised to help address poverty and rebuild failing infrastructure. |
The millionaires wrote a letter to Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and top New York lawmakers proposing new, higher tax rates for the top 1 percent of earners in the state. The letter, a copy of which was given to The Associated Press, says additional revenue is needed to address child poverty, homelessness and aging brid... |
Currently, single filers making more than $1,062,000 pay the state’s top rate of 8.82 percent. Under the one-percent plan, the 8.82 rate would apply to anyone making $1 million to $2 million, and higher rates of 9.35 percent, 9.65 percent and 9.99 percent would apply to those making $2 million to $10 million, $10 milli... |
“Whether it’s income taxes, property taxes, business taxes, user fees, or tolls, we don’t support raising taxes or asking hard-working New Yorkers to dig deeper into their pockets to pay more,” Senate Leader John Flanagan, a Long Island Republican, said last month after Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, releas... |
Raising taxes in the State of New York is insane…truly insane. New York has among the highest taxes in the nation, driving many companies and people to migrate to less taxing and equally attractive environs. New York needs to reduce regulations, which improves the economy at little additional cost and cut programs that... |

THE FAMILY OF a man who had money misappropriated from his account using online banking were awarded €8,000 in compensation by the bank in question last year. |
The details of the case are included in the latest annual review from the Financial Services Ombudsman, and this was just one of the 4,716 complaints the office received last year. |
Shortly after her father’s death, Geraldine* had discovered unexpected activity on his bank account. |
She questioned why he had online access, given that he was not computer literate, and had been paying bills online. |
It was then established that a third party had access to the bank account and had misappropriated the funds. |
The Financial Services Ombudsman mediated in the case between the woman and the unnamed bank. The bank answered her questions, apologised for the error and paid €8,000 in compensation for causing “additional stress at a difficult time”. |
This is one example given of the mediation processes on offer from the Financial Services Ombudsman, including problems with banks and insurance companies. |
Overall, the agency settled 2,370 disputes last year. Additionally, 1,202 complaints were closed following registration, referral and follow-up with the complainants. |
It dealt with over 15,900 phone calls in 2017 – a 50% increase on the previous year – and handled 8,000 queries via email. |
A breakdown is also provided in its annual review of the financial service providers who had at least three complaints against them upheld, with Ulster Bank having the most either upheld, substantially upheld or partially upheld. |
The ombudsman, Ger Deering, said: “The vast majority of complaints resolved by the FSO in 2017 were resolved through mediation, which is proving to be a very fast method of resolving complaints. |
Of the 2,370 complaints closed in 2017 through mediation, 57% were resolved in less than three months. The outcome of both mediations and adjudications can have a significant impact on the lives of real people. In 2017, a total of 1,482 complainants received some form of financial compensation, rectification and redres... |

Will the US Version of the Motorola Motoroi Android Phone Be Dumbed Down? |
I suspect the US version will have a 5 megapixel camera, no HD output, no digital TV, no pinch to zoom, and no OCR. In other words, it will look like other Android phones. Too bad. The specs as-is look great. |
Seaham Town Hall played host to the GCSE results session for Seaham School of Technology, as the finishing touches are put to the new Seaham High School complex across the road. |
The last year group to complete their education at Seaham School of Technology have collected their results. |
The final work is being carried out to the new school - to be called Seaham High School - which will open on Thursday, September 8, as move is made from Burnhall Drive to the former Seaham Colliery site. |
James Steel, Eve Green, Alisha Gibbs, Megan Gillibrand and Charlotte Harriman with their results. |
Today, Seaham Town Hall welcomed the last year 11 to take their GCSEs at the old complex as they collected their results. |
A total of 67% of its students achieved grade C or higher in both England and maths and 61% achieved "far more good grades" including those two subjects. |
Headteacher David Shield said this year's GCSE students were "fantastic." |
He said: "These excellent results have been down to the dedication and huge effort over many years of both students and staff, who worked so well together. |
Students filled Seaham Town Hall to collect their grades. |
"High quality teaching and students eager to learn were also key ingredients in the success of these results. |
"I am truly proud of the achievements of our students. |
"They have got the results they so richly deserve. |
"I look forward to hearing of their ongoing successes in the future." |
Jake Cheetham opens his results as friend Chloe Wallace and head of English Renee O'Brien look on. |
Megan Gillibrand, from Seaham, got an A*, five As, two Bs and a C and now plans to take A-levels at Sunderland College to take biology, chemistry, and psychology with the aim of a career in medical science. |
She said: "I was really happy when I opened them. |
"I did better in some subjects than I expected." |
She will be joined at the college by Eve Green, who will also take chemistry, biology and psychology, who would like to become a midwife or a nurse. |
Seaham School of Technology's head teacher David Shield. |
She gained four A*s, five As and a B. |
"I was over the moon. I expected to do well, but I've done so much better," she said. |
"It was a relief to open them, but overwhelming." |
James Steel achieved an A*, six As a B and a C and would like to become an engineer. |
He plans to study maths, physics, and history at Sunderland College. |
"It was more than I expected." |
A total of seven A*s and three As were picked up by Charlotte Harriman, which will help her to go and study maths, psychology, biology and chemistry at Durham Sixth Form, as she plans to take a career in medicine. |
She said: "I was amazed, I couldn't believe." |
Mum Hillary was on hand to offer support. |
Charlotte added: "She said she was really proud of me." |
Alisha Gibbs also got seven A*s as well as four As and will go to Sunderland College to take biology, chemistry, psychology and English literature. |
Her mum Michelle was also there to offer support. |
"I was happy and I thought I'd done all right. |
"Mum said she was really proud." |
Jake Cheetham gained five Cs and an A* and will go on to take travel and tourism at Sunderland College. |
"I'm so pleaded I got my C in English and in maths and that's better than I hoped to do when I started." |
Behold Arne Duncan who called last weekend for parents nationwide to withdraw students from classes "until gun laws (are) changed to keep them safe." |
Beltway education bureaucrats abhor families who choose to keep their kids out of public schools -- unless it's to grandstand over gun control. |
But effective solutions to maximize students' safety and well-being seemingly aren't Duncan's goals. His mission is airtime. Publicity. Entertainment. Provocation for provocation's sake. Show time -- for the children, of course. |
School boycotts are a "radical idea," he admitted to MSNBC. "It's controversial. It's intentionally provocative." Praising teacher walkouts and student protests, Duncan told The Atlantic he supported parent-initiated school shutdowns for gun control because "we are not protecting our kids... And the fact that we're not... |
As Obama's meddling power-hungry education secretary, Duncan attacked "white suburban moms" and their children who turned to homeschooling in protest of the top-down Common Core "standards"/testing/data-mining program. Duncan sneered that he found it "fascinating" that the grass-roots anti-Common Core revolt came from ... |
“Regarding the missile shutdown incidents, my opinion … is that whoever are aboard these craft are sending a signal to both Washington and Moscow, among others, that we are playing with fire – that the possession and threatened use of nuclear weapons potentially threatens the human race and the integrity of the planeta... |
Former Air Force Capt. Robert Salas – who has written a book about the Montana incidents – said he was underground when a UFO hovered over his missile silo in March 1967, and therefore couldn’t see it. He said one of his guards above ground told him a red, glowing object about 30 feet in diameter was hovering just abov... |
“And just as I [called my commander], our missiles began going into what’s called a no-go condition, or unlaunchable. Essentially, they were disabled while this object was still hovering over out site,” Salas said. |
Salas and others said the military urged them at the time not to talk about the incidents. |
Retired Col. Charles Halt recalled seeing UFOs over the woods near Royal Air Force Stations Bentwaters and Woodbridge in eastern England in December 1980. He and security personnel were investigating reports of strange lights just outside one of the bases. |
“All through the forest was a bright glowing object,” he said Monday. “The best way I can describe it, it looked like an eye – with bright red, with a dark center. It appeared to be winking. It was shedding something like molten metal, was dripping off it. |
“It silently moved through the trees, avoiding any contact, it bobbed up and down, and at one point it actually approached us. We tried to get closer. It receded out into the field, beyond the forest, and silently exploded into five white objects – gone. So we went out into the field looking for any evidence, because s... |
He recalled subsequently seeing other objects in the sky, including one that stopped about 3,000 feet overhead and “sent down a concentrated beam at our feet.” No one was harmed. |
“The best way I can equate it is sort of a laser beam. We stood there in awe. Was this a warning? Was this an attempt to communicate? Was this a weapon? Or just a probe?” he said. |
The Air Force investigated UFOs from 1948 to 1969 under a program eventually called Project Blue Book. The service, on its website, says the project concluded that “no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security.” It also says there has bee... |
“There is current excessive secrecy in our government surrounding this phenomenon,” he said. |
A reporter asked how many of the former military personnel subscribed to Hastings’ theory that the message of extraterrestrials is that humans should get rid of nuclear weapons, and how many of them believed that we should get rid of nukes. Of the seven, it appeared that only Salas raised his hand. |

Hey, you did a Hey, you did a great job on that video! Loved the music . Obviously UFOs are real and most are being censored by the govnrnmeet and media, but they have ramped up recently.

More likely they're worried about the breeding stock either doing something stupid and jeopardizing their investment... or using nukes against them. |
I just find it so hard to believe, Why did they stop popping up over the nuclear facilitates in the 90's. With today's technology we would have better visual evidence. |

U.S. Border Patrol agents detain a group of young migrants from Honduras and Guatemala near the Anzalduas Dam at the Mexico-U.S. border in south Texas, March 25, 2014. |
The Obama Administration said Friday that it will send a surge of government lawyers and judges to the southern border and provide some $254 million in aid to address the “urgent humanitarian situation” of unaccompanied children crossing into the United States. |
Describing these children as vulnerable to violent crime and sexual abuse, the White House tasked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with organizing a response. |
