Texas has been the first state to propose a bill that will disallow TSA agents from groping passengers. The federal government stated that if the state were to approve such a bill, the TSA would be forced to ground all flights. Makes me think of something Thomas Jefferson stated, “Those who surrender freedom for securi... |
A bill that would criminalize TSA agents who conduct airport patdown searches was scuttled Tuesday night after the federal government threatened to ground all flights out of Texas. |
The proposed law would have levied misdemeanor charges against security agents who “intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly [touch] the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of the other person, including touching through clothing, or touching the other person in a manner that would be offensive to a reasonable perso... |
An earlier version of House Bill 1937 would have made such action a felony. [Story continues] |

Bouvier des Ardennes |
Bouvier des Ardennes-pets-dogs-dog breeds |
Bouvier des Ardennes is a rare dog breed from Belgium. Originating in the Ardennes region these dogs were used to herd cattle. The loss of farms in the area led to serious decline in the numbers of these dogs until 1985 when some breeders found a few dogs and used the original breed standard as their guide in re-introd... |
In the past, all the dogs that worked with cattle were called Bouvier (bovine herder). Each region throughout the area had its own type. From ancient rough-coated stock, these dogs were prized guardians and drovers. As the motorized age arrived, the need for driving cattle to the market was gone and so was the call tha... |
The Bouviers were almost eliminated after the bloody fighting of World War I. Many of the rarer types were lost altogether. The breeds that are a memory include: Bouvier de Roulers, Bouvier de Moerman, and Bouvier de Paret. Still remaining are the Bouvier de Ardennes and Bouvier des Flandres. |
The Bouvier De Ardennes can come in any colour except white. It is usually found in brindled or peppered variety. It has medium length, coarse, wiry hair, with a "beard" and "eyebrows". This dog can be naturally short tails and long tails (both allowed, the ideal of natural short), high ears and a keen eye |
The Ardennes Cattle Dog has an ideal height for males of 55 to 63 centimetres (22 to 25 inches), and 51 to 57 centimetres (20 to 22 inches) for females. The ideal weight is 28 to 35 kilograms (62 to 77 pounds) for males with females being 22–28 kilograms (49–62 pounds). |

Exotic Dancer Steals F.B.I. Chief’s Gun |
Exotic Dancer Steals F.B.I.'s Chiefs Gun |
Exotic Dancer Steals F.B.I.'s Chiefs Gun |
U.S.A.-(Ammoland.com)- Even federal law enforcement agents can fall victim to theft. Being robbed is precisely what happened to F.B.I. Counterterrorism supervisor, Robert Manson in July of this year when he was in Charlotte, N.C for official F.B.I. Training. |
According to police reports Manson, who oversees all terrorism investigations in the Midwest, North Carolina, and South Carolina for the F.B.I.’s high profile international terrorism section met a couple of women. Both women said that they were exotic dancers. During the night of heavy drinking at the Westin hotel, Man... |
Mason invited one of the exotic dancers back to his hotel room that he had been staying in at the Westin Hotel across from the Charlotte Convention Center and the NASCAR hall of fame. The woman accepted Manson's advances and accompanied him back to his hotel room on the fifth floor of the Westin. The woman seems to hav... |
At 6:30 AM Special Agent Kevin Thuman, who was also there for the same training, found Manson still so intoxicated that he was to the point of being incapacitated from the alcohol from the night before. What Thuman didn't see was the woman. The exotic dancer was gone without a trace of her identity being left behind. A... |
According to the police report, the agents found that Manson's $6000 Rolex watch and $60 in cash were missing from the hotel room. Most disturbingly Manson's .40 caliber Glock 27 was also nowhere in the place and apparently stolen by the woman. Although federal agents are permitted to carry an off-duty weapon, federal ... |
According to, F.B.I. Spokesperson, Michael P. Kortan the incident is subject to an internal investigation, but he declined to comment on the status of the open case. Another apparent rules violation that seems to apply in this situation is that it appears that Manson did not secure his firearm correctly. The Westin hot... |
According to, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Spokesperson, Robert Tufano there is very little to go on in the case. Police have not made an arrest in the investigation, and the suspect is still unknown at this time. |
The police report states the Manson “was not acting in a law enforcement capacity” and does not mention Manson as being a member of the F.B.I. at the time of the incident. The theft took place between 2 AM (the time the hotel bar closed) and 5 AM according to F.B.I. Agent Kevin Thuman. |
The police report was filed by Thuman since Manson was too intoxicated to give a statement himself to police. Manson remains on duty while the internal investigation is taking place. |
Last year another F.B.I. Agent was arrested when pulled over for drunk driving. |

1. as F.B.I. Counterterrorism supervisor, not doing a competent job. Exotic dancer presumed to be terrorist and needs to be cavity searched. I guess it was too much as feebee passed out was robbed and the ‘suspect’ walks! |
2. The laws vary from state to state. In Kansas a person can carry and legally consume a little alcoholic drink, but they are limited to the 0.08% DUI limit. Further, if they are behaving impaired at any level they are subject to arrest for being under the influence. Kansas is a Constitutional carry state. |
N.C. law does not allow any consumption while carrying but you can be in a place where alcohol is being consumed bu others. |
(c2) It shall be unlawful for a person, with or without a permit, to carry a concealed handgun while consuming alcohol or at any time while the person has remaining in the person’s body any alcohol or in the person’s blood a controlled substance previously consumed, but a person does not violate this condition if... |
The FBI and the Secret Service have all lost guns in this manner but as far as is known, few have been demoted and fewer have lost their jobs. |
3. I still and will support L.E. but this is too much. Why wait for the Feds to take action? There is enough in the police report to arrest him for drinking/intoxicated while carrying a firearm. Was the bar he was in posted no firearms allowed? Get him on that. Plus I’m pretty sure if I admitted I had hired a prost... |
4. Between the Bush’s, Obama, and the Clinton’s our Federal LEO’s have been allowed to run amuck. We’re going to have to keep Trump in office for 40 years to clean everything up that the afore mentioned have destroyed. |
1. You can thank affirmative action and the push for diversity for much of what is wrong with all sections of the Govt. At least that was my experience during the over 22 years I spent with the DOJ before retiring. |
1. I’ve absolutely no doubt that you are right. Most likely, a lot of, if not all of, the problems are because Democrats were appointed to head the FBI. They corrupt everything they touch. |
2. Aren’t these liberal social engineering concepts and programs like diversity and affirmative action just wonderful? They’ve worked out so well, haven’t they? And tack on eight years of a racially and politically polarizing and anti-L.E. Kenyan-American “president”… |
5. Anyone with a concealed handgun who is drunk needs to be taught a good lesson. Most states, it is illegal to be in possession of any firearm while DRINKING, not “drunk”. In other words, if I’m sitting at a table with friends in a restaurant and have a sip of my friend’s wine while I’m carrying, I’ve broken the l... |
I wonder who picked up the tab for his booze? If it were WE the people, he chould face disciplinary action for that alone. |
This guy has shown himself so immature he should NOT be working for the FBI any longer. Put him out to pasture, and NOT on my nickel. |
6. That was certainly a expensive piece of tail. $6000.00 watch, $500.00 gun , $60.00 hard cold cash. But the FBI does not think that is a fireable offence , Just another day in the life of an FBI agent. How do i get one of those jobs ? No responsibility just fun, fun , fun. Sure is good to have a government job wh... |
Which does not even address the problem if the gun is used in criminal activity. No wonder the country is going down the crapper with these clowns in charge of our safety. |
7. FBI agents think they are hot shiite and so above the rest of the local law enforcement community. Screw him and the rest of them. |
8. Only $60 for a hooker? Sixty dollars is probably WAY below market value for a well toned exotic dancer. |
I wonder what the security cameras in the hotel, the parking lots and elevators will show? |
Maybe they can track down the woman by the DNA of the STDs on the sheets? |
9. Is FBI Supervisor Manson a Left Wing Liberal Democrat? He wasn’t even put on leave or demoted back to field agent? |
“Manson, who oversees all terrorism investigations in the Midwest, North Carolina, and South Carolina for the F.B.I.’s high profile international terrorism section” …a couple of whores and easily duped sexually deviant drunken FBI Supervisors can cause for mass terrorist attacks in the US? |
Very similar to Obama’s Secret Service; drunken with whores while on duty, loosing or stealing their own guns and lying about it, missing/loosing/or stealing their own laptop computers with secret information on them, etc. |
10. I live in South Carolina and this guy was partying on my dime………….how is that keeping me safe from terrorists? He is apparently an Oduma holdover, but that is no excuse. I hope he no longer has a job! |
11. Every organization has a few bad apples. BUT this situation goes far beyond any acceptable behavior. You can usually judge a person by the company he/she keeps. What (if any) other disciplinary actions are in this guy’s jacket? With a “top secret” clearance he is being trusted with information that would land h... |
12. Taught by Comey and Mueller, paid for by the Clintons. Barney Fife is more respectable than an FBI agent anymore. The FBI has been bought and paid for by Soros, Obama, the Clintons and the Democratic party… They will give him a party and medal instead of firing his A$$ ! |
1. @Vis, Yeah, that struck me as a pretty inexpensive Rolex, too. And it is difficult to envision a guy not knowing how much he paid for a Rolex. Better check the evidence room. |
1. Not a problem. They never give away their ‘assault’ rifles. Well, maybe a few, but not enuf to be called out for it. Heck, maybe they even bought them at one of those gunshow ‘loopholes’ . But the $6000 watch? Probably bought on a street corner from a ‘reputable dealer’. |

Here's another shot from Nashville, TN - I have a lot of them! I was walking in Centennial Park and it was sunset. All day the skies had been cloudy, but tame.

When to say "Meh, that's as good as I'm gettin' it" |
Writer comrade Briana Morgan has some thoughts on when you should stop editing. |
We need to walk away. |
So, when do I stop editing? When it's time to move on to the next thing. I'm not being flip, here. As a writer, I'm rather like President Josiah Bartlet in my approach: I'm always asking, "What's next?" |
On the novels, I find myself doing three rounds of edits. The first comes after I've set the original, first-draft manuscript aside for a while (no shorter than three months, but sometimes quite a bit longer...I still haven't done first markups on GhostCop (not the actual title) yet). This is when I look for awful inco... |
I seem to have done a great job picking my beta readers, because they always give great feedback in a number of areas, and eventually I apply their critiques (maybe) to the book when I generate a second draft. This is when I really try to strengthen things up, by doing more cutting of extraneous crap and highlighting t... |
And then, now that I'm fully in the self-publishing gig? That's when I format and publish. |
Right now I am in the second phase of edits for The Wisdomfold Path, after which it will be time to give it to proofreaders. But how do I know when I'm done editing? That is the original question, after all. |
I am pretty hard-nosed about this: I only go through the book once during this phase, and I just don't get hung up on making every single sentence sing. Because, quite frankly, not every single sentence can sing. Am I a perfectionist? As much as I can afford to be. But I can't take years editing a single book, because ... |
What also helps is that I've set built-in deadlines for myself. Sure, I'm self-publishing, which means I don't have an editor's deadline to make, but in reality, I do: it's just that I'm the one setting it. The Wisdomfold Path has to be out the second week of November, because I've promised it to people. For me that's ... |
I'm a believer in quotas and hard dates for completion of things, and I am not a fan of partial projects lingering on the To Do list for long periods of time. A coworker of mine, a guy who taught me a lot about facilities maintenance, once scolded me: "You know, sometimes you have to actually put a project to bed." Tha... |
(By the way, if anyone's wondering, I'm about a third of the way through this round of edits on The Wisdomfold Path, and then it'll be in the hands of proofreaders. I'll do markups then on the first draft of Ghostcop, and then prep a re-release of Stardancer, on more e-formats than just Kindle and likely to include a p... |

I'm exhausted just reading about the work you do AFTER the first draft. |
Let's do a sort of spiritual inventory. |
How is your life in Christ going? Is it fulfilling? Are you pleased with your service in the Lord's work? Does it consist of merely being "a faithful member of the church"? What has happened to your personal and individual responsibility? Do you handle it yourself, making your own decisions about what you will do; or h... |
What about decisions in your individual service to Christ? Do you decide what you will do, when, how, where, and with whom, if others are to be involved? Perhaps you are like most Church of Christ members today, the decisions are all made for you. Everything is planned and organized for you and you are told what, where... |
One vital thing you are required to do is to make your proper financial contribution, meaning you drop it in the basket or plate, to be used or spent by the "rulers" at their discretion. You turn it over to The Eldership for them to use as the Board of Directors of the corporation. They manage the business of the organ... |
Your income and finances are yours. They are but an extension of yourself. You are personally responsible for the use of such the same as you are responsible before God for your entire life and abilities. This includes the use of your money. There isn't any such thing in the New Testament as "the Lord's money" or "the ... |
Your money is yours and you are responsible to God, as an individual, for its use the same as you are for any other ability or resource you have. In the Scriptures, the early disciples understood this. They did not have a "corporate treasury," because there was no corporation. Indeed they did, as each one determined to... |
There is no instance in the New Testament of disciples giving into a general fund for general purposes. In every case the disciples knew the exact purpose for which funds were raised. They always gave to and for specific needs; and each one decided for himself or herself that he/she could/would do so. Every contributio... |
Look at Acts 11:29: "And in the proportion that any of the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of the brethren living in Judea." This was an individual decision on the part of each one. They contributed to a specific cause. It was earmarked for that purpose. The disciples,... |
In Acts 11:30 we read that "this they did, sending it by Barnabas and Saul to the elders." It was sent to "the elders" for distribution, not to decide what would be done with it! If "the elders" used it for any other purpose than that designated, they would have misappropriated the funds! It was sent to them because th... |
In Acts 2:45, the contribution of the disciples was for a specific purpose. There was a need to be met. In Acts 4:32, 34-35 (turn and read the passages in your Bible!), the purpose is specific and known to all. In Acts 6:1-7, "the multitude of the disciples," somehow, in some manner, selected seven men who were "put in... |
In addition, the preachers have a strong vested interest in "the corporate treasury," because that is the source of their livelihood. As an employee of "the corporate church," their wages, Social Security, hospitalization insurance, house payment, living expenses, car expenses, and vacation come from this source! Every... |
The "corporate treasury," "the church treasury," as we have it today in "the local church" organization, is borrowed from the Roman Catholic Church and other denominations. It is a source of great trouble and evil among the people of God. It is a concentration of power; and power often corrupts. It is a vital part of t... |
My brother and sister, you alone are responsible for the decision for the use of your "contribution" in the service of Christ. You dare not give away this responsibility. You will be held accountable before God. It is easy to merely drop our contribution in the plate and let the organization decide its use according to... |
Is it any wonder that the Church of Christ is losing members and losing respect? We are engaged in a big business venture, largely having to do with this world! We have "sold our souls" to the "company store," the institution. Individual responsibility is largely gone; surrendered to our "formal organization" that we a... |
Wake up, brother and sister, before it is too late! We are not likely to stop the big church organization movement among us. The "on the march" leadership is well entrenched and in control of the organizations. But, thank God, the organizations are not important; they are a hindrance, not a help. The hope lies with the... |
