Recently, the Navy SEAL who shot and killed Osama Bin Laden released new details about the mission never before revealed. In his first ever interview, the shooter, who remains anonymous, shares gruesome memories with the public about the raid to eliminate the terrorist leader. Also, he spoke of the despicable treatment he has since received from the federal government and the military.
The shooter says that he shot Bin Laden three times in the head. Once as he stood, once as he fell, and once as he lay on the floor. He recalls that Osama then was "not moving. His tongue was out. I watched him take his last breaths, just a reflex breath." He then explains that "his forehead was gruesome. It was split open in the shape of a V. I could see his brains spilling out over his face. The American public doesn't want to know what that looks like."
So, this Navy SEAL killed the most wanted man on Earth; what does he get for it? The shooter served sixteen years in the Navy, and returns home with "his body filled with scar tissue, arthritis, tendinitis, eye damage, and blown disks." What did he receive from his country? "Nothing. No pension, no health care, and no protection for himself or his family."
The mother of the shooter's children says that they are "deleting him from our lives, but for safety reasons. We still love each other." The family is so insecure that they are changing their names and erasing the shooter's name from all their documents in order to establish a sense of security. Why? Because when SEAL Team 6 was reported to have killed Osama Bin Laden, the media exploded with coverage that compromised the identities of those involved.
No job, no money, and now being separated from his family. How can our government treat our greatest heroes with such extreme disrespect and disregard? These people should be praised and honored and should never be forced to feel insecure and uncertain of their future lives. There are some indescribable problems in the world today if a man worthy of the highest respect is forgotten as soon as he retires.

The Tax Reform Problem
During the election, throughout the presidential debates, rally speeches, and campaign stops, Mitt Romney explicitly stressed the importance of closing loopholes in taxes. President Obama, on the other hand, aggressively fought to persuade voters that this tactic was not the way to go! Yet now, Barack Obama claims that closing loopholes and making smart reductions will close the gap in the deficit.
He says that this will enable us to "continue to fund things that can help us grow." In other words, more spending. The grand and overwhelming majority of growth in the economy has occurred because the federal government is hiring more and more people. So the president wants to fund the growing government so that the government can continue to grow, which causes more need to generate money we do not have so that we will be able to spend more money we do not need to spend.
The only reason we have a deficit is because we spend billions of dollars on things that contribute nothing to the economy. Instead of cutting the defense budget, why doesn't the government stop throwing $250,000 at every person that discovers a new beetle and wants to study its mating habits? Obama says "we need additional revenue." That's his way way of saying "we need to raise taxes." The president would assert that we do not have enough money to operate correctly. In the real world, we do not have an income problem, we have a spending problem.
The United States generates plenty of money and tax dollars to run the nation efficiently. Instead or raising taxes so we can spend more, how about we cut spending so we can lower taxes? There is over $50,000 of debt for each American citizen today, and that is not the economy that I want to inherit.
If the tax reform is to be "fair and transparent," then why have they not proposed anything comprehensible? Obamacare has over 13,000 pages of new regulations, with 21 new taxes that we know of. No human being can navigate a code of law that massive.
These tax laws do not only affect the U.S. economy, they have an impact on each individual, and how we operate in the global economy. If our own citizens do understand the way our government is operating, how can we know how to fix the problem?

They're At It Again
Recently, the terrorist organization known as Al Qaeda delivered threatening messages on the internet, promising to rekindle the flames of war in a new wave of attacks on western civilization. On an internet blog, a Muslim extremist claims that "future strikes" will carry the weight of "God's might" and will be "strong, serious, alarming, earth-shattering, shocking, and terrifying." The United States, France, and Denmark are specifically named as targets in these threats as well as other democratic European nations.
The writer also makes mention of the methods by which these attacks will be carried out. Some of the heinous acts will be accomplished by individuals or small groups of jihadists, likely with firearms, homemade bombs, and such things. Others will be "booby-trapped vehicles" as are a common tool amongst terrorists. It would not be far-fetched to expect other devices, such as IEDs, to be used in their efforts to annihilate free countries such as ours.
While there may not be much credibility behind these threats, terrorism is a problem of unthinkable magnitude and continues to expand by great leaps and bounds. Home-grown terrorists are rising in our nation. There are many means by which an extremist could penetrate our borders, and carry out his crimes within an unsuspecting population. The potential damage that could be done is unspeakable, and we as a people should be more aware of this increasing threat.

Looting Is Bad, And Wrong! It's Badong! Looting Is Badong!
Looting, no matter for what reason it is done, is thievery. Some of the thieves on Coney Island "were running in and out of a Rent-A-Center carrying these big flatscreens." During a time of disaster, people should be focused on helping one another instead of seeking their personal interests. With all the damage already done, it is abominable to make the suffering of others worse because of selfish reasons. Others were "running out of a nearby Rite Aid with bags of diapers and wipes." I can understand that some people may be in need of supplies during the aftermath of the storm, and I think this can be justified. To seek necessities in a time of need is only natural. I believe looting is theft if it is for selfish reasons, but to survive it can be justified.

School Teacher Shoots Adopted Son
The state of Connecticut is sometimes referred to as "the nutmeg state," but now it is drawing attention as the father killing his own son state. Around 1 A.M., the 28 of September 2012, Jeffery Giuliano found a masked intruder attempting to enter into his neighbor's house. Upon impulse, Jeffery grabbed a handgun and shot the person to death.
After the shooting took place, Giuliano then proceeded to rest his bones on the curb, "unaware of the slain intruder's identity." When the police arrived they informed Old Jeffy boy that it was his son, Tyler, that he had maliciously slaughtered in cold blood, he then apeared to be in "utter shock." It is not specified if the police suspect foul play, but it should be considered. After all, the son was adopted. The father has not yet been charged with a crime, but the investigation continues.
A reason for Tyler trying to get into the house was not given, leaving the reader to wonder why he was behaving this way. Was he going to steal something? Was his father snoring obnoxiously? Was he out of toilet paper in the event of an emergency? Perhaps he was in a secret love relationship with the residents of that property. Nobody can say, for the answer died with this youth struck down in the prime of his delinquency.
The senior Giuliano reports that the victim advanced towards him with a shiny object. The object is not identified in the article, so it could be anything. It could have been a knife, a crowbar, a container of nail polish, some kind of silverware, or a microwave oven.
Giuliano, 44, is a beloved 5th grade school teacher, affectionately known to his students as "Mr. G." I assume this nickname came about because his last name is incredibly difficult to pronounce properly. The article did not clarify as to whether he has continued his work or not, but either way his return to the classroom will be incredibly akward.
I believe the moral of the story is clear. If you are a school teacher, do not buy a handgun. If you are adopted, don't try to enter your neighbor's homes at inappropriate times. If you are a shiny object, you will most likely become evidence in a crime scene. Although this event is tragic, we can all learn from it. Thank you, and get well soon.

Man Gets Porked By Vicious Swine
As you surely know by now, an epidemic of man eating pigs is sweeping the nation. A 70 year old hog farmer named Terry Garner was recently killed and consumed by these abhorrent creatures at his home in Oregon. He reportedly went out to feed the animals and did not return for several hours, at which time the family suspected something unusual was occurring.
When the family arrived at the scene of the senior's slaughter, they found only his dentures and some various body parts scattered throughout the enclosure. The police are still investigating how he "ended up in a position where the hogs were able to consume him." It could have been a heart attack, some pigs may have knocked him down, or it may have been an act of suicide. Potential foul play is being looked into.
What I wonder is, why did the family wait so long to retrieve the old man? Perhaps they abducted him in his sleep and deposited the unconscious man into the hog pen to be consumed. They may have wanted his property, or maybe he had some money put back, or perhaps he was simply a burden to the family. Nobody will know, for the answer lies in the bellies of the hogs.
The article did not clarify the current condition of the pigs. They possibly were killed, or maybe they will be used for food purposes. While reading this article, I could not help but wonder how a funeral will be held or the man. Will there be a casket? And if so, what will it contain? Perhaps his dentures will be buried, or the hogs, or the excrement from the animals which consumed the man.
The article clearly states, "this isn't the first time hogs have eaten their farmers." As I stated before, this is a tragic epidemic currently taking place. I'm sure for the family, bacon will never taste the same. Farmers beware, there is evil afoot.
