While watching a segment on the news about the tragic murder of Amanda Blackburn, they showed the blurry picture from a nearby residential security camera. In it, the person is walking away and wearing a hoodie sweatshirt. Then when they were showing pictures of Amanda and her husband Davey, I was rather startled to see that in the pictures they showed Davey was wearing a hoodie sweatshirt.
On the seemingly rare occasion that a liberal media person tries to exercise equal treatment of politicians, the liberal politician squirms under the treatment and lashes out!
On Friday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell actually fact-checked Hillary Clinton’s suspicious tale of trying to join the Marines in 1975: “Those comments are being mocked by Republicans today and they’re getting two Pinocchios from Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler….Why on earth would she go to a Marine recruiter in 1975?…It doesn’t make sense.”
Her guest, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was so taken aback that the Florida congresswoman attacked Mitchell for asking questions: “With all due respect, Andrea, why on earth are we talking about this?” Mitchell hit back: “Because she brought it up in New Hampshire the other day. If she hadn’t brought it up, it would not be an issue in this campaign.”
Schultz argued: “Andrea, Andrea, what the story illustrated was that we have made a lot of progress in America. Secretary Clinton is absolutely right. I mean, back then, you did have a much tougher time for women to be able to make it successfully through the recruitment process and move up in the military and we’ve made tremendous progress since then.”
Mitchell replied:
I mean, with all due respect, I won’t defer to anyone in terms of people who have done stories over the decades about the challenges of women in the military….So I don’t think that’s the point. I think the point is just, did this happen? You have a presidential candidate, the frontrunner in the Democratic Party, saying something happened which is quite strikingly dissonant to people who knew her back then.
Schultz whined: “I just find it really unreasonable, Andrea….this is a personal story that Hillary Clinton has told, and it’s not the first time she told it. It didn’t come out of the blue.”
The head of the DNC talked herself into such a corner that she actually wound up defending Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson:
Do we need every single experience in a person’s life to be written in stone and blood and verifiable? There are things that happen to people all across America that can’t be verified. And I know your next question’s going to be about Ben Carson. And I think quite frankly, the same goes for stories about Ben Carson.

Sea level rise from melting Antarctic ice will not be as much as previously thought.
President Obama’s response to the radical Islamic terrorist attack in Paris is shocking to me. He appears angrier and more passionate in his words towards those who think we should put a hold on allowing refugees into America than he is against the terrorists. He called the attack a “setback” whereas other leaders called it things like “a war on humanity” “war with Islam”.
We just saw how five Syrian refugee men (military age men: ages 18-35) with fake Greek passports were caught in Honduras trying to get to the US. HELLO! There is no database in Syria of who their citizens are, so there’s no way we can investigate them for allowing them here.
It is a mess of a situation, but I feel that NATO and the UN should create a safe zone in Syria, so they can stay in their country.
On March 25 of this year, FOCM member Rosina Pavia graciously opened her house for a FOCM spring social. We had a great turnout and a number of people got their FOCM membership cards.
In attendance were: Phil and June Keicher, Linda Gala, Colleen Wood, Mike Burrows, Vince Hoefling, Mike Markowitz, Mark Paul, Freddy Byrth, Bill Duval, Pete Nieto, Erich McGilvreay, Jim Phillips, Dorothy Brown and Gayle Grandinetti. A happy bunch of people for sure.
On March 25, 2015 at the Arena International Outsourcing in Clinical Trials Southeast conference held in Cary, NC two people received their FOCM Cards.
Greg Howell of Fisher Clinical Services and Maria Frane, then of Pharm-Olam and now at West Coast Clinical Trials received their membership cards. The ceremony brought the entire conference (hey, that’s how I remember it) to a stop as all eyes focused on the intensely emotional ceremony. Greg’s exuberant joy is quite visible and the photo captured Maria’s moment of realization of the momentousness of the occasion.
I also captured long-standing FOCM members Kim Martinez, Erin Tabet and Mike Jones sharing industry secrets or old ICON stories, knowing they’re protected by the FOCM Umbrella of Implied Confidentiality.
March 23 -25, 2015 found me in the Raleigh/Durham area for Arena International’s Outsourcing in Clinical Trials Southeast Conference.
On the night of March 23, a FOCM networking event was held at Rally Point Sports Bar in Cary, NC. It turned out to be the last NC FOCM event for Heather Wallace before she moved to Arizona. Heather greets Kelly O’Brien by jumping in to her arms, which Kelly handles with agility.
Chad Pollio, Kelly and I paid our respect to Kevin Boos (absent) by affecting the Boos Pose of Thoughtful Inebriation.
Spotted this bumper sticker in Wilmington, NC – it made me laugh
So there I was – sitting in an airport bar – nothing unusual about that. Having recently read Porter Gale’s book: Your Network Is Your Net Worth in which she mentions a future book she’s working on. That one will be titled something like: Conversations with the person in seat 4A. In her travels, she made a point to talk to the person next to her and it has created interesting opportunities.
So, not shy about talking to people, I ask the guy next to me where he’s going and where he’s coming from. Turns out he does sound and light production at concerts and has been doing so for 30+ years and was returning from a large multiple performer event.
Interesting insight into two performers: Lady Gaga and Drake.
Nothing but compliments for Lady Gaga, tireless rehearser, respectful and considerate to the crews.
Drake, on the other hand, a complete jackass – shows up late, demands big changes to things he’d insisted on prior to arriving, rude to the crews.
So keep this in mind when buying music.
If you have ever wondered why the press is so biased against conservative groups or anything which does not conform to their usual liberal thought this should help you understand. It explains why the press is silent on things like: murder rate in Chicago despite tight gun control, sanctuary cities, crimes by illegal aliens, etc.

This may also explain the lack of interest in HilLIARy’s private email, lies about Benghazi, President Obama’s not speaking out about deaths of police officers, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.,……..
