Puppies save three-year-old boy lost in freezing Virginia woods

"When I first saw him, he was like, 'Momma, I got cold. I slept in the woods last night. The puppies kept me warm.' He told me that ... the dogs slept up against him. And I'm sure the body heat kept him warm," said his mother, Sarah Ingram

Sleeping Bird on a Branch

I took Madison out a few minutes ago and saw this bird sleeping out on a low branch, right out in the open. It didn't react at all when I walked near and under it. I grabbed the camera and got the best shot I could - it was dark - and still didn't disturb it. It's head is tucked in by the wing.

Get Over It

Ikea under fire for selling reindeer meat

"More than 70 per cent of reindeer slaughtered for meat are calves that have grazed during the summer, which means they never even get to see snow."

Like the world doesn't have enough to worry about. Eat more reindeer.

Rethink Self-Defence

When cops don't shoot back

But most shocking was his depiction of masses of armed policemen hiding in the train station and refusing to shoot back while the bloodbath continued.

"There were armed policemen hiding all around the station but none of them did anything," he explained. "At one point, I ran up to them and told them to use their weapons. I said, 'Shoot them, they're sitting ducks!' But they just didn't shoot back."

His disturbing story continued: "I told some policemen the gunmen had moved toward the rear of the station, but they refused to follow them. What is the point of having policemen with guns if they refuse to use them? I only wish I had a gun rather than a camera."

I would like every American to meditate deeply on those words.

If you are relying on the police to save you when you are being robbed, raped, kidnapped or murdered then you are in sad shape. Call 911? Listen to that and pretend that's you - without a gun.

Make a Choice

Betrayed Nations

The shifting North American Unionized Map

This is a must-read commentary. Here are a few quotes:

• History is being rewritten before our very eyes by the Socialists of two nations.
  
  Long after we’re all gone, what has happened in a short time-span before Christmas 2008 will surely give pause to the historians.
  
  
• In reality, what has happened here and in the United States was long in the making.
  
  Gradually over time, we elected politicians who cared not for the ecosystem of country Constitutions in comparison to their power lust. Somehow we didn’t seem to notice when government no longer worked for us, but us for them.
  
  The average person was kept too busy coming up with the rent or the mortgage, too busy wondering why their children were learning not reading, writing and arithmetic, but how to become effective global citizens.
  
  Politicians elected each term, by and large, got worse and worse until we reached a stage where they came not with altruism and leadership guiding their moral compass, but with teams of lawyers who could trash constitutions no matter how noble or time-honoured.
  
  
• The only real "change" politicians made manifest is the one where they no longer choose to hide their true intentions.
  
  
• It has reached a tipping point where politicians no longer feel a duty to serve the people, but only themselves and each other.
  
  
• Socialism, advocated by both Obama and Layton, has sucked the soul out of humanity wherever it was ever attempted, but that’s the road North America is now careening down.
  
  Heaven help the people of both betrayed nations.

Pirates attack US cruise ship, can't outrun it

Why don't we let the Marines take a cruise through the area, let them enjoy the amenities of a cruise ship for a while and when the pirate attack comes they can kill all the pirates. I think they would go for it.

Government Incompetence (But I repeat myself)

Agency Accidentally Posts 250,000 S.S. Numbers Online

Social security numbers for 250,000 people were posted online by mistake and a state agency is facing serious questions about why it was so careless with people's personal information.

The Agency for Workforce Innovation accidentally posted the sensitive information for people looking for work. All those numbers were left online for at least 19 days. The worst part is potential victims don't even know it yet.

Evil Hates Goodness

The Rabbi and the Terrorists

For years I have warned that great evils often begin with the murder of Jews, and therefore non-Jews who dismiss Jew-hatred (aka anti-Semitism, aka anti-Zionism), will learn too late that Jew- and Israel-haters only begin with Jews but never end with them. When Israeli Jews were almost the only targets of Muslim terrorists, the world dismissed it as a Jewish or Israeli problem. Then it became an American and European and Filipino and Thai and Indonesian and Hindu problem.
