On the one week anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, comes this news:

 

From The Washington Post National:

 

Woman shot at rural church 1 of 3 killed by Pa. gunman who is fatally shot by state troopers

 

By Associated Press, Updated: Friday, December 21, 4:08 PM

 

HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. — A man fatally shot a woman decorating for a children’s Christmas party at a tiny church hall and killed two men elsewhere in a rural central Pennsylvania township Friday before he was fatally shot in a gunfight with state troopers.

 

The shootings began in Frankstown Township at about 9 a.m. and investigators were processing five crime scenes within about a 1.5-mile radius, authorities said at a news briefing Friday afternoon. The troopers were responding to a 911 call of a shooting in the township when they heard calls reporting at least one other shooting elsewhere, state police spokeswoman Maria Finn said.

 

Blair County District Attorney Richard Consiglio said that there “might be some relation” between at least two of the victims in and around the tiny village in Geeseytown, about 70 miles west of Harrisburg.

 

The woman at Juniata Valley Gospel Church had cooked food the day before for the funeral of the longtime pastor, said the Rev. James McCaulley, his brother. The central Pennsylvania church was still reeling from the Rev. David McCaulley’s death when the woman returned to decorate the church hall — named after the pastor of 58 years — and bullets ripped through a window, he said.

 

The gunman then entered and shot one of two women before he left, the Rev. James McCaulley said.

Pennsylvania gunman kills woman in church, two other people before dying in exchange with police

 

By M. Alex Johnson, NBC News Michelle Acevedo of NBC News contributed to this report.

 

A gunman killed three people Friday in central Pennsylvania, including a woman in a church, before police shot him dead, authorities said. Three state troopers were injured, including one who was shot twice in the chest but survived thanks to his bulletproof vest. Pennsylvania State Police said the man killed the three people at three different locations, including the church and a private home in Frankstown Township, about 75 miles west of Harrisburg.

 

About 9 a.m. ET, the gunman fired into the church, killing the woman, before shooting and killing a man at a private residence, police said. Those shootings may have been related, Blair County District Attorney Richard Consiglio said. As the gunman fled, his pickup truck crashed into a second vehicle, and he shot and killed the other driver, police said. The truck subsequently crashed into a car driven by one of the troopers on Juniata Valley Road near Geeseytown, and the gunman got out and began firing. The troopers returned fire, killing the suspect, police said.

 

The woman was killed at Juniata Valley Gospel Church in Frankstown Township, the Rev. James McCaulley, brother of the church’s late pastor, told The Associated Press. McCaulley, who was in town after having presided over his brother’s funeral Thursday, told the AP that the woman was struck by gunshots that flew through a window of the church hall as she was decorating for a children’s Christmas party.

Mike Huckabee…..so much for your theory about prayer being what caused the Newtown School shooting….prayer preventing shootings is a myth, since this happened in a church.

 

Besides putting armed police in schools, maybe we should also put armed law enforcement in our places of worship as well?

 

Maybe we can blame this massacre on the winter solstice??

What Does $2000 Mean to You?

 

If Congress fails to act before the end of the year, every American family’s taxes will automatically go up and people from all over America are writing in to say what $2000 means to middle class families.

 

 

I’m a small market farmer in northern Michigan. $2000 in additional taxes would mean that we may not be able to buy the two greenhouses that we need to extend our short growing season.

Bryan, Michigan
 
 
 
 
 

#MY2K  My diabetic supplies and medicine for the year

@roadie374
 
 
 
 
 

Groceries on my table for four months. Heating my home for a year. Two mortgage payments.

 
 
 
 
 

#My2K is keeping this house and keeping it warm for my growing family this winter

@SensingPlac
 
 
 
 
 

#My2K goes to prescriptions, mortgage, and other necessities. It’s not discretionary income for me. I need it to keep on keeping on.

@swellgalmary
 
 
 
 
 
 

That money would be two house payments. Or three car payments. It would pay for my medication for a year.

Crystal, Alabama
 
 
 
 

 

#My2k means coats, shoes, & school supplies for my 4 growing teenagers!

@TidbitsTrinkets
 
 
 
 
 
 

$2,000 would allow me to pay off the student loan debt I have incurred to go to college. I am a first generation college graduate currently pursuing a Masters of Taxation degree.

Colby, Mississippi
 
 
 
 
 
 

#My2K will go toward paying for my children’s daycare expenses.

@stacyo28
 
 
 
 
 
 

#My2K would help me pay down college debt and support local businesses.

@AprilAsh2012
 
 
 
 

 

Losing #my2k would be devastating for us. Would have to forego some bills, upgrades for home heating and car repairs (transp for work).

@IndepInMO
 
 
 
 
 

A whole year’s worth of diapers for my daughter and my gas to commute to work. That is what $2,000 means to me & my family.

Cise, Washington
 
 
 
 
 

$2,000 to me is the January mortgage payment, February mortgage payment, March car payment.

Sheri, Arizona
 
 
 
 
 

Losing #my2k would be devastating for us. Would have to forego some bills, upgrades for home heating and car repairs (transp for work).

Weekly Address: Urging Congress to Extend the Middle Class Tax Cuts

 

Published on Dec 1, 2012

President Obama speaks to the American people from a busy factory floor in Pennsylvania about the urgent need to pass the middle class tax cuts, which will give families and businesses preparing for the holidays the certainty they need going into the New Year. Democrats and Republicans must come together to pass one thing that everyone agrees on—extending income tax cuts for 98 percent of American families and 97 percent of small businesses, and there is no reason to wait. The President urges Congress to take action to help grow our economy and strengthen the middle class.

Tell us what #My2K means to you.

 

 

In Case You Missed It

 

Here’s a quick glimpse at what happened this week onWhiteHouse.gov:

 

#My2k: This week, President Obama called on the American people to speak out in favor of keeping taxes low on the middle class. He explained:

If Congress does nothing, every family in America will see their taxes automatically go up at the beginning of next year. A typical middle-class family of four would see its income taxes go up by $2,200. That’s $2,200 out of people’s pockets. That means less money for buying groceries, less money for filling prescriptions, less money for buying diapers. It means a tougher choice between paying the rent and paying tuition. And middle-class families just can’t afford that right now.

 

 

 

The President asked the American people to speak loudly by sharing what $2,000 means to them online on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #My2k. Here’s how to get involved:

 

 

Holidays at the White House: Earlier this week, the First Lady previewed the 2012 White House holiday decorations, showcasing this year’s theme: “Joy to All.” The decorations embrace several beloved White House traditions, including 54 decorated trees throughout the residence and a White House gingerbread house. The First Lady explained that this year’s theme “celebrated the many joys of the holiday season: the joy of giving and service to others; the joy of sharing our blessings with one another; and, of course, the joy of welcoming friends and family as guests into our home over these next several weeks.”

 

 

 

President Obama Welcomes Mexico President-Elect: On Tuesday, President Obama welcomed President-elect of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto to the Oval Office. They discussed the close relationship between Mexico and the United States, and the President noted that President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto’s reform agenda is one that Americans will watch closely.

 

 

Cabinet Meeting: On Wednesday, the President held a Cabinet meeting—the first one since the election. He first thanked Cabinet members for doing “a remarkable job on behalf of the American people,” and reminded them there’s still much work to be done.

 

 

Vice President Biden Goes to Costco: On Thursday, the Vice President visited the newly opened Costco in Washington, DC. After picking out a few Christmas presents and other items, he spoke about the importance of extending tax cuts for middle-class families.

 

 

World AIDS Day 2012: Today, to commemorate World AIDS Day, the White House hosted a special office hour session with Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett and Gayle Smith, Senior Director, National Security Council, to answer questions on Twitter about the Obama administration’s role in the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Learn more about how the White House is honoring World AIDS Day 2012 here.

 

 

Weekend Schedule:

President Barack Hussein Obama has no public events scheduled on Saturday. On Sunday he and First Lady Michelle LaVaughn Obama will attend the Kennedy Center Honors. They will host the honorees beforehand at a White House reception.

 

Kennedy Center:  The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has announced the selection of the seven individuals who will receive the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors. Recipients to be honored at the 35th annual national celebration of the arts are: bluesman Buddy Guy, actor and director Dustin Hoffman, comedian and television host David Letterman, ballerina Natalia Makarova, and rock band Led Zeppelin.

 

While Led Zeppelin is being honored as a band, keyboardist/bassist John Paul Jones, guitarist Jimmy Page, and singer Robert Plant will each receive the Kennedy Center Honors.

 

 

 

The White House Honors World AIDS Day 2012

 

By Erin Lindsay Of The White House Blog December 01, 2012

 

Today, December 1, 2012 is World AIDS Day. Every year on this day,  the world comes together to stand with people affected by HIV/AIDS, to remember those we have lost and to renew our commitment to ending the pandemic once and for all.

 

Last year on World AIDS Day, President Obama announced ambitious new targets in the global fight against HIV/AIDS, and on the domestic front focused on investment to support the first comprehensive National HIV/AIDS Strategy to fight the epidemic here at home.

 

One year later, the President’s commitments have translated into real measurable progress. As of today, we are treating over 5 million people with lifesaving medicines for AIDS, up from 1.7 million in 2008, and are on track to treat 6 million people by the end of 2013.  This year, we have also reached over 700,000 HIV-positive pregnant women with antiretroviral drugs that will prevent them from passing the virus to their children. We are making real progress, but the fight is not over.

As the President stated in his Proclamation for World AIDS Day 2012:

Creating an AIDS-free generation is a shared responsibility. It requires commitment from partner countries, coupled with support from donors, civil society, people living with HIV, faith-based organizations, the private sector, foundations, and multilateral institutions. We stand at a tipping point in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and working together, we can realize our historic opportunity to bring that fight to an end.

Today, we reflect on the strides we have taken toward overcoming HIV/AIDS, honor those who have made our progress possible, and keep in our thoughts all those who have known the devastating consequences of this illness. The road toward an AIDS-free generation is long — but as we mark this important observance, let us also remember that if we move forward every day with the same passion, persistence, and drive that has brought us this far, we can reach our goal. We can beat this disease. On World AIDS Day, in memory of those no longer with us and in solidarity with all who carry on the fight, let us pledge to make that vision a reality.

Lyin UnFitt Mitt Romney To President And First Lady Obama: “Start Packing”

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Jueseppi B.

By Jueseppi B.

 

 

 

 

This is the epitome of irony, comedy and Karma all rolled into one neat video package…..

 

Mitt Romney – “Start Packing”……

 

 

This some funny shit right here…..

 

 

 

 

Published on Apr 17, 2012

Mitt Romney rebuts Democrats‘ claims about his tax plan

 

 

 

I just thought you might be a little bit jonesing for some Lyin UnFitt Mitt thoughts & ideas:

 

 

BETHEL PARK, Pa. (AP) — Mitt Romney sought to inoculate himself Tuesday against Democratic charges that he favors the rich, saying his as yet-to-be disclosed tax plans will not benefit the well-to-do at the expense of others.

 

 

“I’m going to keep the burden on the upper-income people the same as it is today,” the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting said as he campaigned across Pennsylvania on Tax Day. “I know Democrats will say it day in and day out, ‘They are for tax cuts for the rich,’ he said, mimicking his rivals. “No,’” he added firmly.

 

 

By contrast, Romney said Obama wants to raise taxes, a step the Republican said would hamper job creation. Unlike Romney and most Republicans, the president wants to allow existing Bush-era tax cuts to expire at the end of the year for those at upper incomes.

 

 

As he sought to parry the inevitable Democratic accusations, Romney also tackled a second, if unspoken concern, a perception that he has difficulty establishing rapport with middle-class voters. To that end, his campaign arranged an outdoor event in a Pittsburgh suburb at which the wealthy former businessman-turned-politician and eight area residents sat amicably around a picnic table and talked about economic issues.

 

 

There was one fleeting moment of awkwardness, when Romney guessed that a plate of cookies set out on the table were from “a local 7-Eleven bakery or whatever,” instead of a local firm, Bethel Bakery.

 

 

But Jason Thomas, one of the participants, later told reporters: “I thought he was likable person … I will personally go on record and say he doesn’t seem out of touch. He was asking us what our concerns were and we tried our best to represent our concerns, the concerns for our children, and a lot of our friends and family as well.”

 

 

Freed of the last vestiges of a challenge for the Republican presidential nomination, Romney is now able to campaign around the country as the nominee of his party with only passing concern for upcoming primary states.

 

 

His itinerary this week runs from Pennsylvania, one of several primary states on April 24, to Arizona, where he will speak to a nationwide gathering of Republican officials. Along the way he has stops in North Carolina, to deliver a “prebuttal” to Obama’s Democratic National Convention acceptance speech, and Ohio, a perennial battleground in presidential elections.

 

 

In yet another indication that the party is leaving the nomination campaign behind, Romney drew endorsements during the day from the two top Republican leaders in Congress, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, and Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader.

 

 

Romney so far has provided only a few details of the ambitious program of tax reform he says he will propose if he wins the White House.

 

 

He favors extending all the Bush-era tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of the year, and has said he wants to cut rates an additional 20 percent across the board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please sign the petition to tell Congress to Pass The American Jobs Act!!

 

 

Pass Obama’s Jobs Bill .The American JobsAct.It Has Been Blocked By The House GOP Long Enough

 

 

The American People Need Jobs. So The American People Need Congress To Pass Obama’s Jobs Bill. The American Jobs Act Has Been Blocked By House Republicans For Way To Long. This Bill Would Put Americans Back To Work. So Pass This Bill And Put Americans Back To Work.

 

 

We ALL can have a wonderful, happy & safe Holiday Season if we ALL have jobs.

 

 

 

America has never been about what can be done for us. It’s about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. That’s the principle we were founded on.”

 

~ President Barack Obama, November 7, 2012~
