• Meet the First Generation, Entrepreneurial Former Navy SEAL Who Could Take Massachusetts Senate by Storm

  May 2, 2013 at 2:13pm

  In reply to Melika.

  From what I’ve read this guy donated money to and supported Obama’s campaign in 2008. Unforgivable as far as I’m concerned. But I don’t live in MA, so don’t really have a dog in this hunt. I will say though, as someone who comes from this community, it is very frowned on for someone to go around wearing a SEAL trident while running for political office. I don’t care if you’re the original frogman, pimping the bird is no bueno. I’m just saying, and I shouldn’t have to explain why. Every single person I know of who has worn his military service on his sleeve to get elected has turned out to be a douche. A few names like John McCain and Lindsey Graham come to mind. Or perhaps Bob Kerry (a Democrat SEAL who won the medal of honor) or John Kerry. Again, just saying. What a lot of people don’t understand is getting into these military programs really isn’t that big of a deal. In the world of “no child left behind” it may seem really hard, but it’s not. The reality isn’t like hollywood at all. It’s a school, and just like any other school all you have to do is complete it. Officers have an over 90% graduation rate at BUDS. Kids straight out of high school with not as much life experience have about a 50% graduation rate in the enlisted ranks. Don’t get me wrong, I love the military and am very proud of my service, but it’s not what many make it out to be. To a large extent the military truly is the DMV with shorter haircuts. It’s a bureaucracy wi

• How a $10 Purchase Saved a Man’s Life After He Was Bitten by a Rattlesnake

  May 2, 2013 at 1:41pm

  I’m sorry but I call BS… I don’t believe a doctor said this saved his life. A doctor from where, Guatemala? It is well known that these suction cup kits do not help in any way. Not only do they not help, but they make the injury worse. I was taught this in my military training which included extensive medical training for combat medicine. I also have engaged in a lot of extreme outdoor events with people who worked in healthcare, doctors, nurses, etc., every person I’ve ever talked to has stated these kits are an old wives tale and don’t work. Poison from the snake is injected, there is no “sucking” it out. It’s in the blood. Only thing you can do is get anti-venom within a proper period of time.

• DHS Official Provides New Details, Maintains Innocence of Saudi National Once Considered a Person of Interest in Boston Bombings

  In reply to OlefromMN.

  As the DHS officer stated, file was created as part of no-fly order pending investigation. In other words, they profiled this guy simply because of where he came from and because some paranoid local said he was “acting suspiciously.” I’m not sure how this is an example of incompetence on the part of DHS??

  What part of no evidence is confusing? No evidence he did or intends to do anything! Bottom line, end of story.

  I’m embarrassed that you’re a fellow American, seriously. Not a shred of evidence against this kid but you hate him anyway because he’s brown and from Saudi Arabia and Muslim. Truly, you are a bigot.

  Excuse me while I laugh out loud. So as predicted by anybody with common sense, there is nothing to see here at all. No deportation order, no terrorist mastermind, just a foreign student injured in the attack then being harassed by the authorities because he’s from Saudi Arabia. Nice. But never forget, Glenn doesn’t bluff, he knows those darn Arabs are to blame somehow, so stand by! You have been warned! He doesn’t bluff, you have until Monday to come clean or else! Yawn, I think I’m done listening to his radio program.

• Beck Breaks Exclusive Information on Saudi National Once Considered a Person of Interest in Boston Bombings

  April 23, 2013 at 12:43am

  In reply to bioengineer.

  @VRW, I’ll wait to see this chain laid out for me. At this point it sounds like “I heard from a guy that heard from a guy that heard from another guy who says he saw X, Y, Z”. And then a bunch of speculation about what that actually means.

  We just watched the media this past week jack up one story after another. I’ve heard seriously I think a dozen different accounts of how the black hat terrorist was killed. Seriously, who is the media getting their information from? Do they all have legitimate sources who were all just wrong?

  The point of my previous remark is you shouldn’t make assumptions about what’s going on. Perhaps a file was created on this guy, but so what? It was said this guy was on a watch list previously. Paperwork could be from that old file. Could be it was created more recently when they decided to first investigate him after the explosion. Perhaps they simply want to remove him for his own safety, and the classification on the paperwork doesn’t have anything to do with his own behavior but simply the associated event that set the whole thing in motion. Really, what if this whole conspiracy is simply the result of some bureaucrat who entered the wrong classification code into a form? Way more plausible than the government intentionally letting terrorists into the country and then intentionally sneaking them back home after they commit mass murder.

• Beck Breaks Exclusive Information on Saudi National Once Considered a Person of Interest in Boston Bombings

  In reply to bioengineer.

  Again, you two are engaging in speculation. Evidence means facts in hand. Established indisputable facts. The government says this guy is a terrorist? Really, show me the paperwork that says this. You realize this is the government we’re talking about right? The same government we make fun of for wild incompetence. The fact that some file may exist on this guy doesn’t mean that it means what Beck suggests that it means.

  I have a friend that was put on a terrorist watch list and a no fly list because of sites that she visited while doing research for a graduate paper on terrorism. And she didn’t even know about this until she tried to get on a plane. All she did was visit some web pages as part of researching a paper for school !!!!

  From what I can tell the ONLY facts Beck has are that he is a Saudi and was here on a student visa and was also injured in the attack. Everything else is pure conjecture.

  Tell me something, if this guy was somehow involved, why in the world was he there? He comes over to “recruit” terrorists and start some kind of terrorist cell, but then is stupid enough to place himself not only at the scene but close enough to be injured in the blast… give me a break.

  Beck promises a bomb but drops a leaflet… give me a call when you have something conclusive, you know, like a factual link between this saudi and the bombers.

  I agree our relationship with Saudi is too cozy, but you have not established even one loose piece of evidence against this guy showing that he either did anything or was intending to do anything.

• The Saudi Saga: Key Information Still Being Revealed in Case of former ‘Person of Interest’ Gov’t Considered Deporting

  April 18, 2013 at 12:49pm

  In reply to DadRocked.

  @CHADRED, Hey idiot, I’m a SOF veteran and still serve as a reservist. I got back from Afghanistan a couple months ago. I speak Arabic and have spent most of the past decade in the Middle East either as a civilian or with the military. What have you done? I bet my voting record is far more “conservative” than yours. You’re a moron that reads crap on the internet and thinks he understands the world but doesn’t have the first clue.

  You idiots need to take a step back and think about what you’re saying. Obama is covering up terrorist activity and essentially pardoning the perpetrators. Seriously? And you really think he has the power to do this? Take a moment and consider how many people would have to be involved in something like that. Who is it that serves in our intelligence and law enforcement agencies? You’re talking about a 911-truther-scale conspiracy involving hundreds if not thousands of people.

  And for what purpose? To cover up a terrorist attack…. what on earth for?

  So Obama’s going to create a huge conspiracy, which hinges on the loyal support of thousands of people. If just one comes out and speaks he’s exposed. And he’s going to risk all that, his whole reputation, so that he can protect the name of some family in Saudi Arabia? So the DHS doesn’t look bad for failing to stop this “cell.”

  You guys are all idiots. The reality is that our government is not competent enough to even conceive a narrative this advanced much le
