AMERICA’S TECHNOLOGY AT WORK ONCE MORE TO HELP THE COMMON PEOPLE SECURE CHEAPER ENERGY PRICING AS FRACKING HAVE HELPED STABILIZE THE WORLD MARKET WITH NEW OIL DISCOVERY AND HAVE HELPED AMERICAN LOWER ITS DEPENDENCY FROM FOREIGN OIL AND LOWER THE PRICE OF GAS AND EVENTUAL FOOD PRICES AND HOUSEHOLD GOODS RELATED TO ITS TRANSPORTATION–NO THANKS TO THE DEMOCRATS WHATSOEVER AFTER BLOCKING EVERY EFFORT IN GROWING DOMESTIC ENERGY FROM THE LIKES OF HARRY RIED (D-NV) WHO PREFERS CHINESE RUN SOLAR PANELS

American workers and motorists got some badly-needed relief this week when the price of oil plunged to its lowest level in years. The oil price has fallen by about 25 percent since its peak back in June of $105 a barrel.  This is translating to lower prices at the pump with many states now below $3 a gallon.

At present levels, these lower oil and gas prices are the equivalent of a $200 billion cost saving to American consumers and businesses. That’s $200 billion a year we don’t have to send to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other foreign nations. Now that’s an economic stimulus par excellence.

There are many global reasons why gas prices are falling, but the major one isn’t being widely reported. America has become in the last several years an energy-producing powerhouse.  And sorry, Mr. President, I’m not talking about the niche “green energy” sources you are so weirdly fixated with.

Oil prices are falling because of changes in world supply and world demand. Demand has slowed because Europe is an economic wreck. But since 2008 the U.S. has increased our domestic supply by a gigantic 50 percent. This is a result of the astounding shale oil and gas revolution made possible by made-in-America technologies like hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling.  Already thanks to these inventions, the U.S. has become the number one producer of natural gas. But oil production in states like Oklahoma, Texas and North Dakota has doubled in just six years.

Without this energy blitz, the U.S. economy would barely have recovered from the recession of 2008-09. From the beginning of 2008 through the end of 2013 the oil and gas extraction industry created more than 100,000 jobs while the overall job market shrank by 970,000.

THIS IS THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT BACKED PARTY RUN FORM OF OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM WHILST RUNNING THE INNER CITY SCHOOLS TO THE GROUND–NOW DON’T TEACH OR HAVE AMERICA LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT WHO AMERICA IS AND WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR HUMANITY AND THE WORLD BUT LET THEM LEARN ISLAM THE RELIGION KILLERS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT OF THEM–THE LIBERAL FORM OF EMBRACING HATERS OF AMERICA IN THE US

An Iraq veteran was banned from his daughter’s high school after objecting to a required homework assignment about Islam.

Kevin Wood, father of an 11th-grader at La Plata High School in Charles County, Md., was upset to discover a teacher had asked his daughter to write a three-page essay about Islam’s Five Pillars, Mecca and Mohammed.

After Wood met  with the school’s vice principal to discuss the matter, the school banned Wood from the property late last week.

“I don’t agree with it,” Wood  said in a phone interview with Fox News. “I said you can’t study God or Christianity in school; you have atheists suing schools for saying God and the pledge, and not being able to say prayers before football games … but we can force-feed our kids Islam.”

Katie O’Malley-Simpson, spokeswoman for Charles County Public Schools, told The Daily Signal today that Wood, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq, was banned from school property because he was “threatening to cause a disruption at the school that could compromise the safety of the students and staff.”

“We don’t issue no trespassing orders lightly,” she said.

O’Malley-Simpson defended the assignment on the Islam, saying it is part of Maryland ‘s “world history curricular standards that are a requirement for all counties in the state.” She said:

The particular unit in question at La Plata High School is on the formation of Middle Eastern empires in which students learned the basic concepts of the Islamic faith and how it, along with politics, culture, economics and geography, contributed to the development of the Middle East. Other religions are introduced when they influence or impact a particular historical era or geographic region.

ONLINE GAME ADDICTION–UNSTOPPABLE TO THE POINT OF VIOLENCE–EVEN TO THE POINT OF DEATH

According to the 2013 research by National Information Society Agency (NIA), 84.3 percent of children under aged from five to nine played online games, while 80 percent of teenagers played them.

Kim Min-a, a manager at iWill addiction-counseling center in Changdong, northern Seoul, warns about teenage addiction.
"Teenagers are not as good at anger management as adults," Kim said. "Addiction can mean they fail in school, they fail at home."
Social factors loom large.

Game addiction is more common among teenagers from single-parent or double-income families, who are often left without parental guidance.
Every Wednesday, Lee Hyung-cho, a psychology counselor, visits Dure Forest Creative School nestled inside a mountainous area, secluded from the outside world. Lee, however, thinks that social factors are taken out of proportions.

"The game addiction rate among teenagers can reach as high as 12 to 15 percent. Up to 5 percent of teenagers were found to be in the high-risk group - a level where teenagers feel anxious when they don't play a certain amount of time or more, so they can't perform their daily routine," she said.

Lee Hae-guk, a psychiatry professor at Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital, says that too much gaming causes deterioration in partial brain function for teenagers.
"A part of brain that controls emotion, fun and pleasure develops until the age of 12," Prof. Lee said. "The frontal lobe that controls reasoning and decision making develops around 15."

"If children aged 10 to 14 are exposed to stimulating gaming for too long, their pleasure sense can develop excessively at the risk of dysfunction in the frontal lobe," the professor said.

One of the most bizarre cases he experienced covered a young man's sudden death after playing for three days straight with little interruption. During a
postmortem, Prof. Lee found a blood clot in a vein that blocked blood circulation to the heart.

NEW THEORY OF PARALLEL UNIVERSES IN QUANTUM MECHANICS PROVES MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF US LIVING IN ALTERNATE WORLDS THAT CAN INTERACT AND INFLUENCE EACH OTHER’S TIME LINE–UNIVERSES THAT ARE US BUT HAVE BRANCHED IN A DIFFERENT HISTORICAL OUTCOME NOT JUST ONCE BUT MULTIPLES OF MULTIPLES TIMELINES

Imagine a world where dinosaurs hadn't become extinct, Germany had won World War II and you were born in an entirely different country.

These worlds could exist today in parallel universes, which constantly interact with each other, according to a group of US and Australian researchers.

It may sound like science fiction, but the new theory could resolve some of the irregularities in quantum mechanics that have baffled scientists for centuries.

The team from Griffiths University and the University of California suggest that rather than evolving independently, nearby worlds influence one another by a subtle force of repulsion.

They claim that such an interaction could explain everything that is bizarre about how particles operate on a microscopic scale.

Quantum mechanics is notoriously difficult to fathom, exhibiting weird phenomena which seem to violate the laws of cause and effect.

'The idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957,' said Howard Wiseman, a professor in Physics at Griffith University.

'In the well-known 'Many-Worlds Interpretation'', each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made.

WE HUMANS ONLY HAVE THE CERTAIN CAPACITY BRAIN ACTIVITY AND NOW MAGIC MUSHROOMS MAY INCREASE THAT ACTIVITY AND CONNECT NEURONS WHERE NONE HAVE BEEN CONNECTED BEFORE–THE SO CALLED ONE STEP BEYOND

Now scientists claim they are closer to understanding why magic mushrooms cause people to have such intense creative and spiritual experiences.

Scans have revealed that its active ingredient, psilocybin, creates a hyperconnected mind that links regions of the brain that are normally have nothing to do with each other.

This triggers vivid hallucinations, often making colours seem oversaturated and breaking up the boundaries between objects.

The increased brain activity could also be responsible for synaesthesia - the phenomenon where different senses are associated with others, according to UK scientists…….

…….However, volunteers who had taken the drug showed 'uncoordinated' activity in those areas of the brain linked to high-level thinking, including self-consciousness.

The pro-amnesty Hispanic activist organization the National Council of La Raza helpfully promoted a Washington Post article explaining which states people can vote in without having to use a photo ID.

“Voter ID laws are at-issue across the country, with newly Republican-controlled legislatures having passed them in numerous states after the 2010 election,” explained The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake. “Most states still request some form of ID, but don’t require it. Another 20 states don’t require identification. In case you’re wondering where your state is at in all of this, a helpful (sic) graphic from the Post’s graphics team.”

So who ended up using the Post’s helpful graphic? The country’s foremost pro-amnesty Hispanic immigrant organization.

The Chicago chapter of Asian Americans Advancing Justice tweeted Blake’s article with the message, “Reminder — #Illinois does NOT require #voterID to cast a ballot,” along with the pro-Democrat hashtag #TurnOutForWhat. The tweet was helpfully retweeted by the National Council of La Raza.

IS EVERYONE HAD ENOUGH OF THE JOKING POTUS WHEN IT COMES TO BEING SERIOUS ABOUT THE STATE OF THE UNION IN THIS MIDTERM 2014 ELECTION WHEN THE DEMOCRATS ARE RUNNING SCARED FROM HIM SINCE HIS POLICIES OF BEING LEFTIST SOCIALIST TO SPREAD THE WEALTH FROM OBAMASCARE, TO IMMMIGRATION, TO THE SPREAD OF EBOLA, TO TERRORISM, WHERE THE SAFETY OF AMERICAN CITIZEN SHOULD BE FIRST AND FOREMOST AND FOLLOWING LAWS SHOULD BE HELD AT A HIGH STANDARD AND WHAT DO WE AMERICANS GET FOR A POTUS BUT A STAND UP WANT TO BE COMEDIAN JUST LIKE AL FRANKEN (D-MN) OF THE ONCE SNL–WHEN THE NATION IS AT THE BRINK OF CATASTROPHE FROM THE PUTEN OF RUSSIA IN UKRAINE, TO THE ISIS TAKING OF IRAQ, TO CHINA WANTING ASIA TO ITSELF, AND THE EBOLA–THE SAME MINDSET DEMOCRAT IN POWER IS WHAT WE GET–THE FAILURE OF THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT

At a Tuesday evening campaign event for Mary Burke, Democratic nominee for governor of Wisconsin, President Barack Obama encouraged voters to participate in early voting.
"One week, Wisconsin. One week. One week from today you get to choose a new governor. And because early voting runs through this Friday, you don't have to wait until election day," Obama told the crowd in Milwaukee.
"You can vote all week," Obama added.
"I mean you can only vote once, this isn't Chicago now," Obama told the crowd, laughing.
"I'm teasing Chicago, I'm messing with you. That was a long time ago," Obama added.

THE MSM TRIES TO COVER UP LATEST POLLS THAT THE SENATE WILL BE GOP–AS THEY TRY TO SHOW POLLS AS A TOSS UP–THE TRUE NATURAL BORN LIARS AT WORK IN THE MSM AS RUN BY DEMOCRAT BACKING LIBERALS

The mainstream media made a hearty go of it, attempting for the last few weeks to portray the Nov. 4 election as a toss-up. But poll after poll is now showing those reports to be nothing more than a barrel of red herrings: Republicans are solidly in the lead with just more than a week to go.

Over the past several weeks, a dozen stories or more have painted the Colorado race between Republican Cory Gardner and Democrat Mark Udall for the U.S. Senate seat there as neck-and-neck. CNN and the mainstream newspapers have repeatedly said the race is too close to call.

But as FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten tweeted at last week’s end, “There hasn’t been a live interview non-partisan sponsored poll showing Udall leading in Colorado in 6 weeks.” In fact, RealClearPolitics.com, which keeps track of all polls, said, “Gardner has now led in every poll but one since mid-September. His lead is likely ‘real’; Udall probably needs a late break or for the polls to be simply incorrect to pull this out.”

SO THE US WILL BE THE EBOLA SAFE HAVEN FOR INFECTED MEDICAL STAFF GOING TO THE FRONT LINES IN FIGHTING THE EBOLA–FROM THE STATE RUN DEPARTMENT INTERNAL DOCUMENT

The State Department has quietly made plans to bring Ebola-infected doctors and medical aides to the U.S. for treatment, according to an internal department document that argued the only way to get other countries to send medical teams to West Africa is to promise that the U.S. will be the world’s medical backstop.

Some countries “are implicitly or explicitly waiting for medevac assurances” before they will agree to send their own medical teams to join U.S. and U.N. aid workers on the ground, the State Department argues in the undated four-page memo, which was reviewed by The Washington Times.

AUSTRALIA FINALLY CLOSES ITS BORDERS TO EBOLA TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS AND WHAT OF THE POTUS BHO–NOTHING

Australia became the first developed country on Tuesday to shut its borders to citizens of the countries worst-hit by the West African Ebola outbreak, a move those states said stigmatized healthy people and would make it harder to fight the disease.

Australia's ban on visas for citizens of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea followed decisions by the U.S. military to quarantine soldiers returning from an Ebola response mission and some U.S. states to isolate aid workers. The United Nations said such measures could discourage vital relief work, making it harder to stop the spread of the deadly virus.

50% OF TEENAGE GIRLS GETS SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORK IN SEOUL KOREA–NO STATS AVAILABLE LIKE THIS IN THE US–BUT THEN CORPORATIONS DON’T PUT UP WITH ANY FORM OF SEXUAL HARRASSMENT–THE SAME WITH SMALL BUSINESSES

More than half of teenage girls doing part-time jobs in Seoul have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, a poll showed Wednesday.

The survey of 544 girls aged 14-19 in the capital showed 56 percent of the respondents had someone joke about their physical appearance or specific body parts at work. The Seoul Foundation of Women & Family conducted the survey between July 24 and Aug. 1.
Almost 50 percent had heard sexual jokes, while a third had experienced light physical contact with male co-workers. Slightly over 20 percent said they had been groped.

Seventy percent of those who experienced sexual harassment at work said they continued working there without seeking any help. Thirty percent quit their jobs, while 19 percent confronted the offenders. Only 4 percent asked their friends or acquaintances for help.

Nearly half, or 48 percent, of the respondents received less than the minimum hourly wage of 5,210 won (US$4.97).
Coffee shops paid the least with 3,917 won, followed by fast food restaurants with 4,926 won and convenience stores with 4,993 won.
Most interviewees received unfair treatment at work but were unable to do much about it.

THE DEMOCRATS FROM THE POTUS BHO DOES THE TURN STYLE WITH ILLEGALS–AS ELLIGALS GET CAUGHT AND 36% OF THE SAME ELLIGALS RETURNED TO BE PROCESS BACK TO ICE–A FULL CIRCLE FORM OF AMNESTY FROM THESE LEFTIST SOCIALIST IN POWER

Maricopa Co., AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio reported that 36 percent of the criminals his sheriffs turned over to ICE “keep coming back” on Monday’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on the Fox News Channel.

“We turn them [illegal aliens who have committed crimes] over to ICE and they should be deported. 4,000 people, I think I mentioned a while back, on your show, that nobody seems to cover until now, 4,000 people in our jails for state crimes in the last eight months," Arpaio said. "They're here illegally. We turn them over to ICE and 36 percent keep coming back. Last month a guy came back 25 times. So what is this? Either the border is really unsecure, or they're letting these guys out in the streets of Maricopa County. We got a big problem” he said.  Arpaio added that releasing illegal aliens with criminal records was a “form of amnesty by the Obama administration.”

Arpaio also reported that Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte, a suspect in the shooting of three civilians and an officer, “served time in the jails that I run in 1996 … he was in and out of the jails. Here in Maricopa County, for drug-related crimes, assault weapons…he was deported twice by ICE, and he was let out on the streets of Maricopa County a couple other times.”

WHERE IS AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL–THE NATION THAT SAVED THE WORLD FROM TYRANNY FROM JAPAN AND GERMANY–SENT MEN TO THE MOON AND BACK–BUILT THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM IN 10 YEARS ACROSS AMERICA–THE CAN DO ATTITUDE GONE SINCE OUR PRESENT AS RUN BY LEFTIST LIBERAL DEMOCRATS LEADERS HAVE NOT LEAD US AND HAVE BEEN BLAIMING WE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS FOR ALL THE WRONG IN THE WORLD

When this writer was 3 years old, the Empire of Japan devastated Battleship Row of the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. Before I was 7, Gen. MacArthur was in an office in Tokyo overlooking the Imperial Palace, dictating to a shattered Japan.

In 1956, President Eisenhower, impressed by the autobahn he had seen in Hitler's Reich, ordered a U.S. Interstate Highway System built, tying America together, one of the great public works projects in history. Within a decade, the system was on its way to completion.

In 1961, John F. Kennedy said the United States, beaten into space by Nikita Khrushchev's Soviet Union, would put a man on the moon and return him to earth within the decade. In July 1969, President Nixon, on the deck of the carrier Hornet, welcomed home Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins of Apollo 11.

Whatever became of that America? What ever became of that can-do nation? What has happened to us?

This October saw the vaunted Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fumbling over basic questions on how to protect Americans from an Ebola epidemic in three small countries of West Africa.

In September, an intruder with a knife climbed the White House fence, trotted across the North lawn, walked through the unlocked front door of the president's house, barreled over a female officer, and ran around the East Room before being tackled by a Secret Service agent going off duty. The president had just departed.

Days earlier, an armed security guard in Atlanta with a violent criminal past was allowed by Secret Service to ride an elevator with Barack Obama.

Last summer came reports that 60,000 children and young people from Central America had walked across the border into the United States, overwhelming our Border Patrol.

Last spring, we learned that sick and suffering vets were deliberately made to wait months for appointments to see VA doctors, and dozens may have died during the wait. Earlier, the rollout of ObamaCare, years in preparation, became a national joke and a metaphor for government incompetence.

DON’T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH BUT POLLS ARE LEANING MORE THAN EVER FOR A GOP SENATE TAKEOVER 1 WEEK BEFORE THE NOV 4TH 2014 VOTE

Despite polls showing Democratic gains in some rollercoaster races, the math favors Republicans in their bid to win the six net seats they need to control the Senate.
“It’s not going to be a wave election, but it will bring a majority for the Republicans,” predicted American University professor James Thurber, who founded and directs the school’s Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies.

Forecast models by FiveThirtyEight blog and The New York Times say Republicans are between 62 percent and 64 percent favorites to seize the Senate majority. The Washington Post’s Election Lab puts Republican chances at 91 percent.
In one of several signs the GOP is tightening its election grip, the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics on Thursday shifted the key Arkansas Senate race from “leans Republican” to “likely Republican.”

THE NATURAL BORN LIARS OF THE SENATE DEMOCRAT PARTY COMES OUT SWINGING WITH RHETORIC OF ANTI OBAMA SINCE THEIR JOBS ARE ON THE LINE THIS 2014 MIDTERM ELECTION–AS ALMOST ALL DEMOCRATS RUNNING FOR OFFICE RUNS AWAY FROM THE LEFTIST LIBERAL POLICIES AND BAM AFTER THE ELECTION HOW QUICKLY THESE SAME DEMOCRATS WOULD EMBRACE THE POTUS BHO POLICIES LIKE BEARS TO HONEY–STABBING THE AMERICAN CITIZENS IN THE BACK ONCE AGAIN

• “Let me tell you, the White House, when they look down the front lawn the last person they want to see coming is me,” warned Democrat Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado during a debate.

• Sen. Mark Begich, the Democratic incumbent from Alaska, at least admitted to voting for Obama, but quickly added in a newspaper interview that his vote was “irrelevant” because, “The president’s not relevant. He’s gone in two years.” But he didn’t stop there, promising the Washington Post, “I’ll be a thorn in his [posterior],” adding, “There’s times when I’m a total thorn, you know, and he doesn’t appreciate it.” Going even further, the senator insisted he “took on Obama” to fight for oil drilling in Alaska and would “bang him (the president) over the head a few times” on the need to drill.

• Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas paused during his debate before making his closing statement to make sure everyone knew, “I voted against every budget that President Obama has offered.”

• Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu made a point of emphasizing during her debate, “I do not agree with President Obama on his energy policies,” later adding, “I haven’t agreed with President Obama on everything.” She also damned the president with faint praise, giving his job performance a “6-to-7″ out of 10.

• When asked on MSNBC last week if she thought the president had “shown strong leadership,” Democrat Sen. Kay Hagan of North Carolina hedged a bit before conceding, “Certainly there are issues I think on … um, no.”

• Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., in his debate, singled out the president’s response to the Ebola crisis for criticism, saying, “I think the administration should have acted quicker.”

• Kentucky Democratic hopeful Alison Lundergan Grimes refused to say during an interview whether she even voted for Obama in 2012, then doubled-down on distancing herself from the president during her debate, calling it her “constitutional right” to stay mum.

• Ultra-leftist Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota found occasion to distance himself from the president when he wrote a letter to Obama in September saying he “was troubled by the president’s recent suggestion that the administration has not yet developed a comprehensive strategy to address the growing threat of ISIL’s activities in Syria.”

• During her debate in New Hampshire, Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was asked if she approved of Obama’s job performance, “Yes or no?” The incumbent evoked a wave of laughter from the audience when she responded instead, “In some things I approve and in some things I don’t approve.”

• And even the one Democrat running for the Senate who has invited the president to appear with him on the campaign trail is still keeping an arm’s length from Obama, as Gary Peters less-than-enthusiastically observed, “The president will come to Michigan to campaign, and I’m going to stand next to the president.” Peters also conceded in an interview he had areas of disagreement with Obama.
