THE “SURVIVALIST” IN HIDING
First off the blatant assassination of a State Trooper last week was horrible. There is a suspect and he is a person dubbed as a “survivalist”. Ironic that this person played war games, thought of himself as a military man and seemed oh so nasty chose a the most cowardly way to kill someone. Now “the survivalist” is said to be in hiding. Because that what all cowards, cunning or not do. In the meantime they buried the State Trooper Bryon Dickson today who served his state by doing a thankless job fighting crime. Not from the shadows but on the front lines, face to face. That’s what real men do Mr. Survivalist, that’s what REAL MEN do!
WHY IS THIS GUY SMILING??????????

When Michael Sam the first publicly announced gay players was drafted earlier this year, the big hue and cry was that his sexuality was going to offer a big distraction to the NFL. Thousands of words were written by scribes who pondered how America would treat him, how his team mates would accept him and just what team would choose him. After the Rams tabbed him, there was speculation as to how long he would stay. Then when he did get cut, people argued if that was fair or not.
Samm is now with the Cowboys Practice squad. Bu no one is saying a word about it because the NFL had bigger problems with heterosexual lunk head thugs who thought it was perfectly acceptable to beat on their women. Then the NFL Commissioner was taken to task for his very weak condemnation of their actions. It is even said that he might lose the job he has coveted most in life because he treated the thugs as athletic Gods who could do no wrong. Harm to some but no wrong on the playing field.
What Goodell and his minions have not noticed is this. People in America are football crazy. They don’t give a rat’s ass if Ray Rice pummeled his wife in an elevator. Women even wore his jersey. It is not about the player but the game. Goodell would have been better off to send these guys packing. Oh there might have been some heat for a few weeks but he would have done the right thing for his integrity and in the long run the game he so loves.
To prove my point, please tell me who the running back was on the Ravens before Ray Rice and who was the guy who Adrian Peterson replaced?
You can’t. The games go on. The players are interchangeable. Mrs. LuLac’s late boss Joan Costello used to say “No one is irreplaceable”. By thinking his mighty players gods were, Roger Goodell just may find out he is not the indispensable man he fashioned himself to be.

The legislation provides funding for the U.S. Federal Government operations through December 11, 2014:
"I am thrilled that this appropriations bill has once again adopted the language from the Wage Grade Employee Parity Act, which I introduced in November, 2013. The legislation and its inclusion provides nearly 2,000 Wage Grade (WG), or hourly, employees at Tobyhanna Army Depot and nearly a quarter million blue-collar federal workers across the country a 1% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) in addition to the 1% COLA received over the past fiscal year.
"Additionally, the inclusion of the 1% COLA will positively affect hourly workers at both the Social Security Dock and Veterans Hospital in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County. I’d like to thank the Committee on Appropriations for again including my legislation and recognizing the important contributions of our blue-collar federal workers."

John Wilkes Booth needed to be captured alive to be tried. Same for Lee Harvey Oswald. There were
questions to be answered or at least asked. This ass**** “sniper” is a different story. There are no answers.
He is just crazy! I say Shoot the Mother****** on site with a high powered weapon. More than once if necessary!
At times such as these families of criminals can say nothing or something stupid. The shooters father says he taught him how to shoot and he doesnt miss. However it was intended, it comes off as wrong. Congrats, dad! His young sister says he is not a psycho. In that case what is he? She also says he has feelings too. Young lady he forfeited his right to feelings and you'll get no sympathy for him from any sane person. He is a coward and a psycho. He murdered a man who was everything he wasnt and never could be, Brave and Responsible. I agree with the previous poster. This less than human being must be tracked down and shot. Chances are he will take the cowards way out and take his own worthless life. Meanwhile my thoughts and prayers are with the slain officers family and with the injured trooper and his family. God will forgive me if I am heartless in my thoughts. Some deserve consideration and mercy. Some do not. The choice here is crystal clear.
The shooter is not nor ever was a "survivalist".
Change the heading, he is a bushwhacker.
Upon being found guilty: death by a volunteer State Police firing squad - immediately. No appeal necessary.
Note to Cartwright: Please call it a 1% raise since the Cost Of Living is substantially higher. Unless COLA stands for Cost Of Living ALMOST.
Obvious you don't do your own shopping sir.
We need to look up the definition of fan (fanatic): a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, filled with or expressing excessive zeal.
With the loss of "something to believe in" - religion, traditional institutions and the like - we are left to invest our selves in sports, political parties and beliefs, musicians, etc.
Also let's say a sales clerk at Home Depot knocks out his wife at the Casino Hotel or is seen using a switch (not from the lighting section) on his child or head butts his wife at a back yard picnic: do we fire the Home Depot manager? Ask the CEO to step down? Do we even expect them to be involved?
While a PR nightmare this does not rise to the level of Goodall resigning.
Next time any of us are at a high school sporting event look at those kids and think:
"How many of them are in the "machine" - being groomed for the colleges and major leagues. Am I allowing them to be treated differently and tacitly contributing to the delinquency of an adult?"
Again Goodall should not be held responsible for the damaged human beings we have created and offered the NFL.
Google Jameis Winston.
These are issues first and foremost for law enforcement.
Once more great thoughts on the NFL. Godell didn't need to pamper these wife beaters because unlike the NBA or MLB, football fans gravitate toward the team.
Why do you think college football is so popular? A lot of names who become names because the media machine has propped them up.
As is coming out in dribs and drabs, the NFL commissioner knew more and knew it earlier. As with Nixon, it isn't the "crime" it is the civet up.
Godell handled this poorly from the beginning. As with CTE and dopping up players with painkillers and not providing informed consent, his pattern has been one of deceit and subterfuge.
Whether he needs to go, that depends on not the owners, but fans and sponsors. As long as people keep watching, attending and spending their money~ they give tacit approval to all that has gone on, and will continue to go on.
The NFL is about money, lots of money, as long as the flow of money remains uninterrupted, the league will continue to pay lip service in the form of sensitivity training, and keep one eye blind abd the othet counting the loot.
With all the problems in the NFL and society in the news, the biggest insult to the Heisman trophy since OJ Simpson gets out of line again (not criminal this time) and receives a 2 Quarter suspension (since upgraded to a full game) at Florida State a school with many and continuing issues where football comes first!
This kid by the way has a weekly press conference. Its not difficult to see where the troubles begin and its long before the NFL. As a former athlete of marginal success and talent I have come to view our obsession with sports as a danger to society! I no longer follow pro football and consider pro basketball a joke. We old timers still have baseball and for that I am thankful especially at this time of year. The purpose of college, over priced as it now is, was originally to educate not entertain and create one and done demigods! Wake up America. Lets put sports and athletes in perspective. Talented as they may be they are overpaid and worshiped to a frightening degree. Jonas Salk took minimal payment for curing polio! Ask one of today's star jocks who he was and I am confident few will know.
Its a sad commentary on what has become a me first greed driven country with a truly lost sense of values.
Pete
And yet NFL teams will be fighting for the chance to draft this loser from FSU! Goodell was supposed to be a tough sheriff and turned out to be another pawn in the greed game. He's history, but little will change. Joe and Pete are on point.
