Last week I ran a post on Confidence in Congress Drops to 11%. The following report may contribute to the low approval rating by many Americans.
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) took to the House floor and threw a temper tantrum against Republicans last night. House Republicans late Thursday were able to corral enough votes to defeat a bill that would have provided up to $7.4 billion in aid to those sickened by toxins resulting from the 9/11 attacks.
Despite the congressman’s rage, the fact is the bill in question does not have support from enough Democrats to get it passed. The bill ultimately failed to get the needed two-thirds majority, the vote was 255-159.
Here is the video of Weiner losing it:
Now we go to this morning on FOX News. Weiner went after Peter King (R-NY) and this better explains exactly why Weiner was all worked up and exactly who he was screaming at the whole time.
Both King and Weiner are one of the reasons that Congress is considered a failure.
This is a case of homicide through reckless Stupidity!
A shocking incident occurred in the village located in Moldov. (Declared independence from the U.S.S.R.)
The parents decided to baptize their six-weeks-old child on July 22. The priest of the local church, who is also the chief of all priests of the district, was not going to be there, so he asked priest Valentine Tsaralunge from the village of Taul to perform the ceremony.
The Godparents saw that the boy was not well and warned father Valentine. He answered it was not the first time that he was conducting the ceremony and knew what he was doing. When they saw that the child showed no signs of life, he was immediately taken to the district hospital.
The physician-pathologist said that the boy had suffered mechanical asphyxia by drowning, there was bruising and bleeding in the soft tissues of his neck. The doctor said the baby was healthy.
Estimates of the number of graves that might be affected by mix-ups at Arlington National Cemetery grew from hundreds to as many as 6,600 on Thursday, as the cemetery’s former superintendent blamed his staff and a lack of resources for the scandal that forced his ouster.
John Metzler, who ran the historic military burial ground for 19 years, said he accepts “full responsibility” for the problems.
But he also denied some of the findings by Army investigators and suggested cemetery employees and poor technology were to blame for remains that may have been misidentified or misplaced. He said the system used to track grave sites relied mostly on a complicated paper trail vulnerable to error.
Users’ personal information cannot now be made private, security consultant says.
The personal details of 100 million Facebook users have been collected and published online in a downloadable file, meaning they will now be unable to make their publicly available information private.
However, Facebook downplayed the issue, saying that no private data had been compromised.
The information was posted by Ron Bowes, an online security consultant, on the Internet site Pirate Bay.
Bowes used code to scan the 500 million Facebook profiles for information not hidden by privacy settings.
The resulting file, which allows people to perform searches of various different types, has been downloaded by several thousand people.
This means that if any of those on the list decide to change their privacy settings on Facebook, Bowes and those who have the file will still be able to access information that was public when it was compiled.
