HE SHOULD TAKE HIMSELF OFF PERMANENTLY

Brian Williams to Take Himself Off Nightly News for the 'Next Several Days'

NBC Nightly News anchor and managing editor Brian Williams on Saturday said that he will take a break from anchoring the broadcast for "the next several days." His announcement comes after he clarified this week that he incorrectly remembered details in a 2003 reporting mission to Iraq.

Williams, in a note to NBC News staff, said it has "become painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of the news, due to my actions."

In a piece that aired on Nightly News last week, Williams told the story of how a military helicopter he was passenger in during an assignment in Iraq took on enemy fire. But on Wednesday, Williams told viewers he had made a mistake in recalling the incident. He and his team were actually in an aircraft that was following the helicopter that was hit, he said.

NBC News president Deborah Turness announced Friday that there will be an internal review of the reporting that followed the events in Iraq.

Here is Williams' full statement:

In the midst of a career spent covering and consuming news, it has become painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of the news, due to my actions.
As Managing Editor of NBC Nightly News, I have decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days, and Lester Holt has kindly agreed to sit in for me to allow us to adequately deal with this issue. Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us.

Is Obama Involved in a Controversial Move to Get Rid of Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu?  OF COURSE HE IS, HE'S BEEN TRYING TO THROW ISRAEL UNDER THE BUS SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE, HE'S A TWO FACED "PRICK"

  president obama always seems to be meddling with something. And this time it seems he might be somehow linked to a group that’s trying to depose Israel’s Prime Minister.
A group by the name of  V15, or Victory 15, recently hired a large group of former obama campaign managers to help get Benjamin Netanyahu out of office.
Netanayhu and his party allege the action is compromising the integrity of the election. They further argue that millions of dollars are being funneled to V15 from outside the country. They claim V15’s decision to hire 270 strategists (the group who helped get Obama re-elected in 2012) shows obvious signs of a designed effort to help disrupt the election from outside.
They argue this is obama’s way of getting Netanayhu out of office in this year’s elections.
However, V15 claims there are no ties to the White House, the State Department, or anyone involved with the obama administration.
They have admitted that most of their funding comes from three large donors, two of which happen to be from the United States.

Obama Compares Himself To George Washington During An NBC Interview

President Obama just accidentally revealed that he doesn’t even know the history of his own home and office. During an embarrassing interview with NBC, the Commander-in-Chief unleashed an alarming flub that sheds light on his limited education. Here is what he had to say: “I’m the first president since George Washington to make booze in the White House.”
The words may seem innocuous, but they contain a flagrant falsehood! Here is the problem with that quote: Washington was deceased when construction began on the White House. He never set foot inside; in fact, John Adams was the first leader to reside in the iconic building. Those who are not history buffs can be forgiven for not recognizing the faux pas, but Obama should really know better.
The statement was made directly before Super Bowl XLIX, so Americans can be forgiven for not paying attention. Still, it is a depressing reminder of the country’s disturbingly inept leader. This is the kind of fact that immigrants need to know before they are granted citizenship, and Obama himself doesn’t even possess the knowledge.
In terms of public relations, this was a major fumble. Everyone is now aware that the free world is run by an oblivious buffoon. This whole spectacle has brought shame to the American political system and disgraced our first president.
This despicable debacle was an attempt to appease the public by promoting the White House’s exclusive honey ale. Now we all know the secret ingredient in Obama’s beer: It’s sheer stupidity.

President obama, Christians and ISIS: Wake Up, America  February 05, 2015   By Eric Bolling  FoxNews.com

obama calls ISIS a 'death cult' at National Prayer Breakfast

When I first read some of the tweets surrounding President obama's comments at the White House Prayer Breakfast, my jaw dropped.
I literally gasped. Did he really say that? No way, that's gotta be Twitter people misremembering. After all, “misremembering” became a verb this week. Right, Brian Williams?
But the tweets were coming from one of my go to Twitter people. CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller.. Always fair, always spot on and accurate.
So I listened to the soundbites from the president.
I'm still shaking my head.
President obama lumped Christians and murderous Islamic terrorists together: Here’s some of what he said, “unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place -- remember that during the crusades and inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ … So, it is not unique to one group or one religion; there is a tendency in us, a sinful tendency that can pervert and distort our faith.”
Lumped? My bad. He practically blamed Christians for the religious fanatics who are burning men alive. Burying children alive and crucifying young boys.
And talking about both in the same context is simply  not OK.
What the president did this morning will haunt him for a very long time. He crossed the line. In fact, he pole vaulted over it
Using  some misguided moral equivalency, President obama reached back over almost a thousand years to compare a group of Christians then  to current day radical Islamists killing innocents in the name of Allah… today.
Last month, in January alone, reports say that radical Muslim jihadists killed thousands of people. Last month!  
And yet, when you combine Christianity, Judaism, Scientology and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster what are their combined killings in the name of religion?
Well that number would be zero..
Sorry Mr. president, I think you've gone too far this time!
And no, left- winged progressives, I am not being racist. This is coming from the very core of my Christianity, my humanity, my civilized self.
President obama.. I think you owe all Christians an apology..
Christianity today is the polar opposite of what's being done in the name of Islam.
You, sir, should know that.  After all, you are also a Christian.

"NBC News is nothing if not a beacon of truth."??  From their flagship nightly newscasts, to the brilliant Sharpton-based programming offered by MSNBC, they pride themselves on their journalistic integrity. Since that's oh-so-obviously the case, we're assuming they're very embarrassed to find out that they've been lying about their top anchor, Brian Williams, for years.
It seems that Mr. Williams' oft-repeated anecdote about being aboard a Chinook helicopter shot down over Iraq - one that has been repeated over and over since 2003 - was completely false.

TransAsia Airways: Dramatic Video Shows Plane Moments Before Deadly Crash      By CAO JUN and DAN GOOD  Good Morning America

 Dramatic dashcam footage in Taiwan shows a TransAsia Airways plane scraping past a major highway moments before it careened into a shallow river, killing at least 31 people.

The plane, which was carrying 58 people, clipped a bridge shortly after Wednesday’s takeoff from Taipei's downtown Sungshan Airport, state media said. A search is ongoing for 12 of the passengers.The plane was visible from Taiwan’s busy National Freeway No. 1 just seconds before the crash.The plane could be seen veering sharply, with the wing striking a vehicle and barrier on the plane's descent.

Parts of the wrecked fuselage of the turboprop ATR 72 jutted out of the Keelung River just a couple dozen yards from the shore. The main section of fuselage was on its side, missing a wing.

Rescuers clustered around the plane in rubber boats more than two hours after the crash, and could be seen pulling carry-on luggage from an open plane door.

The rescue efforts were ongoing.

Four children were among the passengers, authorities said at a news conference. All passengers were Chinese or Taiwanese.

Officials said the plane joined the airline's fleet in September and had completed a safety check on Jan. 26. Authorities also said that the pilot had more than 4,400 hours of flying experience, while the co-pilot had more than 6,000 hours.

The crash marks the second tragedy involving one of TransAsia’s French-made ATR 72 planes in the past year. In July, a flight crashed while attempting to land on the island of Penghu off Taiwan's coast, killing 48 people and injuring another 10. Stormy weather and low visibility were suspected as factors in that crash.

Man Misses Whale 2 Feet Away Because He Was Glued to His Phone (ABC News)

 

This Instagram photo shows a man missing a humpback whale surface two feet away from him because he was glued to his phone.

The moment was caught during a whale watch in Redondo Beach, California, professional photographer Eric Smith told ABC News today.

"A small private sailboat maneuvered really close to the whales, and this guy on it was literally sitting in that position and never moved," Smith said. "He could have been texting his mom in the hospital for all I know, but I thought it sucked that he missed such a wonderful moment happening just two feet in front of him."

Smith said he had about five photos of whales with the private sailboat in the background, but the guy never got off his phone in any of the pictures.

"We're all guilty being buried in our phones, even me," Smith said. "You think life is better on your phone, but we’re missing what’s happening around us."

Not A Joke: Dartmouth Offering A #BlackLivesMatter Course In The Spring Semester…

Kaitlyn Schallhorn Feb 03, 2015 

It’s seriously come to this…

Via Campus Reform:

Dartmouth College is now offering a #BlackLivesMatter course for its students in the upcoming spring semester.

Developed by the Ivy school’s geography and African and African-American studies program, “10 Weeks, 10 Professors: #BlackLivesMatter” is supposedly “dedicated to considering race, structural inequality and violence in both a historical and modern context.” Students will be able to enroll in the course for the Spring 2015 semester.

According to The Dartmouth, the college’s student newspaper, the class will be taught by 15 professors from 10 different academic departments. The professors’ expertise range from anthropology to mathematics.

“We just thought that it might be interesting and innovative and exciting to have a course that’s dedicated to this, whereas lots of other people are incorporating it into other courses,” Dr. Abigail Neely, an assistant professor of geography, told The Dartmouth.

A Kirkland man has pleaded guilty to a single felony for making an interstate threat against the life of former Ferguson, Mo., police Officer Darren Wilson and his family.Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar, 46, entered the plea Monday morning before U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. Donohue in Seattle. Two other counts are set to be dismissed at sentencing, which is set for June 12 before U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik. 
   Abdul-Jabbaar was ordered held in detention after his arrest on Dec. 2. Donohue ordered him released under supervision pending his next court appearance, according to the court docket.

   After a series of escalating declarations of outrage and threats over the Brown shooting, Abdul-Jabbaar is alleged to have posted the following on his Facebook page on Nov. 11: “Are there any REAL BLACK MEN that would love to go down to Ferguson Missouri to give back those bullets that Police Officer [D.W.] fired into the body of Mike Brown. If we’re unable to locate Officer [D.W.] then we’ll return them to his wife and if not her then his children.”
